TWO WOMEN ELECTED,
SUCCEEDING HUSBANDS
Both Town Clerks; One Or

Mrs. Helen f. Essex. Republican, run
ming for Town Clerk of Orangetown, and
Mrs. Kathe.ine Buchenau. Democratic
nominee for Town Clerk of Ciarkstown
received the largest number of votes OF
any candidate on the ballot in their re-
spective townships in Rockland county
yesterday and were returned to office
for two years.
BY peculiar coincidence each woman
succeeded her husband in public office.
Mrs. Essex took the Town Clerks job
in place of her husband, who retired
from politics to enter business life, and
Mrs. Buchenau filled the vacancy caused
by the death of her husband, Edward
Buchenau Of New City, who died during
this campaign after holding office thirty
two years. In each instance the Town
Clerk elected assisted her husband when
he held the same office.

MOST Efficient

FUEL CONSUMED WHILE idle
Rapid Acceleration ls an Expensive
Luxury, Using More Gas Than
Gradual Speed Increases-
Other Little Economies.

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 are customarily
given the place of greatest considera-
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 that 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-
ing allowed to remain fully charged
and practically inactive for long perl
DDS of time. On the other hand, fuel
consumption while idIing is surpris-
ingly great because the vacuum in the
manifold is so low that very rich

BOY STARTS PUREBRED HERD
Was Means Of Eliminating All Scrubs
on Fathers Farm-crops Tried
for Pasture.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultural
Other pig club members may be en-
couraged by the way in which Thur
bert Campbell, thirteen year-old boy
In Haskell county, Oklahoma, persist
ed in spite Of various setbacks until
in little more than a year he had not
only started purebred herd Of his
own, but eliminated all the scrubs
from his fathers farm and induced
the latter to plant forage crops that
had never been tried before.
To begin with, Thurbert's father was
not very much interested, either in his
joining the pig club in the spring Of
1920, or in the Eureka Boys Demon
stration club, Of which ne was mem
Der. The father was unable, and
partly unwilling to back the boy fnan-
cially when he proposed buying bred
gilt. He had plenty Of ordinary hogs
which he considered good enough for
himself, and thought they would do
quite as well for the boy to start with.
A purebred gilt would cost $50. The
county agent became interested and
took the matter up with the father,
who agreed to let the boy borrow the
money if he could do 50 without obli-
cation on the fathers part.
When the time came ten pigs were
narrowed, but only one was alive. It
was crushing blow. Thurbert came
to the county agent for advice. His
$50 note was extended by the bank.
He was determined not to quit The
gilt was bred again, and Thurbert
went right ahead caring for his pig.
The second litter brought eight pigs,
all alive, and things looked consider
ably brighter for the boy. The one
pig from the first litter sold about this
time for $40, and two Of the new ones
for SIS each, so that after paying his
note with interest Thurbert had $50
left.
From the same breeder who fur
nished the gilt Thurbert now bought
boar pig. The price, $50, was to be
paid when the boy had sold some more
stock. Two more pigs which were
sold at $25 each cleared the note of
and left Thurbert free from all in
debtedness with balance In the bank.
An arrangement has been made with
an older brother who is to grow the
feed while Thurbert furnishes the
herd. The "herd' consists now Of

foundation stock, soon due to farrow
again; three younger gifts, which will
be bred this fall; the herd boar, and
one young boar which is for sale. ALL
the fathers scrub brood sows have
been disposed Of, with no other scrubs
left but shote, which will go to the
pork barrel.
Oats, rape, sudan grass and sweet
clover have been tried out with good
results for summer pastures. Bermuda
and red clover have been planted on
small scale. The entire family Is won
over. to the purebred stock idea and
many changes for the better have been
begun on this farm.

When idling, excessive amounts Of

gasoline dilutes the crankcase oil.
fabrication at this slow speed Is in

Rapid acceleration, although de-
sirable in traffic, Is an expensive lux
ury, using much more gasoline than
gradual speed increases. Unnecessary
and violent application Of the speeds

maturely, strain every part Of the

uneven gas feed caused by the foot
fluttering up and down on the foot
throttle is eliminated, the hand throttle
providing steady flow Of fuel to the
engine.
Many drivers labor under the Inn
preston that it Is economical to leave
the spark advanced to the limit and
run in high speed as long as the motor
will hang on. but the spark should al
ways be retarded as soon as the motor
begins to labor. A continually retarded
spark is equally harmful. The spark

run most efficiently within certain
easily determined range Of speeds. All
Of these things enter into this question
OF economical driving, e1erting appreci-
able influences upon operating ex7

Of skillful driving which the car owner
will do well to study, because they

JUDGE CERTAIN
TO HAND RUTH
STIFF PENALTY
After That Then Rule Will Be
Changed, According to
Baseball DOpesters.
AN AWKWARD SITUATION
BY JACK VEIOCR.

NEW YORK, Oct 18-The rule against
transforming by worlds series players,
which caused a wide breach between
Commissioner Lands and Babe Ruth,
either will be abolished or amended, &C.
cording to the belief expressed IN local
baseball circles today, and 1t is expected
that action will be taken during the next
Joint meeting of the major leagues this
winter.
Lands has indicated he means to mete
out punishment to Ruth and his fellow
players on the Yankees and it Is expected
the promised action soon will be forth
coming. Just what form this punishment
will take or how severe it will be is the
question interesting basebandom. On
this point opinion varies all the way from
a heavy fine and a months suspension
to suspension fcs a year.
The magnates, for the most part, ii Is
understood, are willing that the rules
which Ruth violated should be done away
with or amended, or a new rule placed
on the statute books, prohibiting barn
storming players to use the name or
major league club. in Ruth's case there
has been no violation of the principle
on which the rule was founded, for his
team is known as Ruth's AQ-Stars.
Colonies Huppert and Huston, owners
of the Yanks, are on record today to the
effect that Judge Lands has no alterna-
tive but to enforce the rules.
