Honest efforts to operate an auto
mobile economically often fail be
cause the driver does not, in many
cases, understand the fundamental
practices most important to good re-
suits. Although fuel is by no means
the largest item of operating expense.
gasoline savings + customarily

ton and consequently deserve first
mention.
The most fragrant source of gaso-
line waste lies in idling the motor.
Many drivers believe gasoline CON
sumption to be slight while idling
and hat by avoiding use of the starter,
they are saving the storage battery.
To be correct, the battery is much
better off when used normally, not be
sing allowed to remain fully charged
and practically inactive for long peri
DDS Of time. On the other hand. fuel
consumption while idling is surpris-
ingly great because the vacuum in the
manifold is so low that n very rich
mixture is required in order that the
heavy fuel now in use may reach the
cylinders.
Harm Done by IdIing.
When idling, excessive amounts of
gasoline collect in the manifold and
valve ports-excessive carbon is formed
the motor overheats-and the raw
gasoline dllutes the crankcase oil.
fabrication at this slow speed is in
efficient because the splash from the
connecting rods is minimized.

CLAIM QUESTIONED
Clarendon Suggests Lower
I Fare and Better Service
to Viva. Road.

CLARENDON, Va. August TO-
Claims of the Washington and Virginia
railway that it is entitled to and must
receive support from the communities 1t
serves. lest it be faced with the neces-
sity Of curtailing expenses and services,
were questioned at meeting last night
of the Clarendon Citizens Association.
Fred L. Sharp. vice president of the
written to General Manager NJ. G. Strait
ton of the railway company. answering
assertions made by the company in a
recently issued bulletin. The associa-
tion approved the letter.
Bus lines operating between Washing
ton and points in Arlington county are
. cutting deeply into the revenues of the
railway company. 1t Is said. ard report
to the Citizens, Association stated that
passenger traffic on the Alexandria
branch alone had been reduced about so
per cent.
The railroad company's bulletin said
the company should be supported as a
local enterprise and an asset to the
show that the company has paid ap-
proximately $35.245.96 in state. county
and town taxes; that it has paid for
merchandise. etc, purchased for the
amounting to s4O2 2.65i.41. all of which
was divided between Alexandria city
and Fairfax and Arlington counties.
Large sum Paid to District.
The company has paid. exclusive of
taxes, the sum of s427,757.90 to the
city of Alexandria and contributing
territories. the bulletin said. and in
addition to this the company is
obliged to maintain. in part pay
ments in the various communities at
cost of several thousand dollars an
nually. If patronage is withdrawn
and directed to other means of trans
portation. it is declared. it will be
necessary for the company to with
draw a large portion of it's serv-
ice. This. the company claims, will
react upon all the communities in a
marked degree.
The letter, adopted last night, ad-
mits that the railroad is an asset of
the county. but claims that If the
company should make the retrench-
ment intimated the company itself
would be the greater sufferer 1t

sions by the railroad company, which,

Among these suggestions are re-
duction to cents from the s.
cent minimum fare allowed by the
corporation commission of Virginia.
between Clarendon and Rosslyn, and
the operation of the cars n twenty
minute schedule, except during one or
two rush periods. The difference in
fare, it is claimed, would be more
than made up by the increased num-
Der of passengers.
The second suggestion is the re-
duction of the fifty-two-trip ticket to
$3.50, it's former basis, as far as Lacy.
This, it is claimed, would divert COM
muters in the Ballston group and
some in the Clarendon group to this
ticket, and with the expedited service
would do away entirely with bus
competition. At present 1t is claimed
that the twenty-five-trip ticket, which
is being used almost exclusively to
Ballston, though slightly in excess of
the fifty-two-trip ticket per trip, is
actually cheaper because there is lit
| tie likelihood of there being unused
coupons when 1t expires.
Inasmuch as the toll paid by the
company for crossing the. Highway
bridge is 33 1-3 per cent of the cash
fare received by the company and a
still greater percentage of the COM
mutation fares. the latter suggests
that an effort be made to have the toll
reduced or the company relieved of
all maintenance charges.

the local scholastic championship
cage series yesterday, the across

battle, 32 to 25.
The much battered Stenographers
stepped out in the first quarter and
surprised the Westerners and also
the fans who expected the Red and
White tossers to walk away with
the game from the first whistle.
kelly's proteges led throughout the
first quarter through the medium Of
three field goals and two foul tosses
against seven points for their op-
pCnents.
However. the first ten minutes
apparently was a flash in the pan,
for the Westerners came back in
the final minutes of the half and
stopped the Stenographers besides
ringing up twelve points for them
selves. The score at the end of the
half stood l9 to s.
Both teams played practically an
even game in the first quarter of
