Hard Times For Outsiders.

We believe our friends, the in
dependent tobacco warehouse
men, are in for a hard time the
coming winter, if the gains being
weekly reported by the Burley
Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association continue at the rate
reported for the past five or six
weeks, in each case running over
500 a week, and last week reach
ing a total of $50, of which 161
came from one county, and not
including the work of the Hunt
ington and the eastern Ohio dis
trict, where probably more than
200 contracts were signed.
With about 85 per cent of the
2. 49,
crop signed up te start with and
these additions to the pool from
all parts sfshe Burley district it
may be that fhs outside growers
will not produce enough tobacco
toipay the Independents warehouse
men for running their plants.
These indepenasht5 warehouse
men, Of course. are seeking to
take advantage Of a situation
which the pool has created to
make money on themselves.
They have a local right to do
that, and last year nobody inter
fered with them, but this year
any warehouse man selling or
handling in any way a crop that
pledged to the Association may
expect to pay for it under the
law of the State and pay literally
at that. s.
The suit against Garrett Watts
in Fayette county shows that the
Burley Association intends to
protect it's members who abide
by their contract and who keep
their word from those who break
their agreement or whose word
is not worth anything to the or
ganization. There is little use to
have a contract or marketing
agreement if wealthy members
may violate it with impunity. and
the filing of the Watts suit shows
that the Association does not in
tend to play any favorites in de-
manding respect for the agree.

warehouse men find their prop

lots and sell it, they will have
only themselves to blame fer
that situation. Stanford Jour-

NEW EIGHT ROTARY MOTOR IS PRODUCED
 BY CHARLOTTE MAN
Max Goodrich Claims His Is Simplest And Most Practical Engine Yet De- vised For Auto

, CHARLOTTE, Oct. IS. (Special)- Charlotte has an inventor who may take his place among the foremost engineers in Max Goodrich, who has just completed rotarymotor which, it is claimed, is simplest and most practical machine yet invented. He has one completed and on exhibition in his office. /
 B.. F. Simpson, s. E. Cook, Homer Patterson, Verne Wells, o. J. Bot tomley and s. O. Goodrich are inter- ested in the invention financially, with MT. Goodrich, and all are enthusiastic over it.
 In 120 days after starting the de- signing of the motor, MT. Goodrich had it completed and running.
 The motor is an eight cylinder twin four, two cycle, and has no valves cams or gears and is air cooled. IL is much simpler than other rotary motors on the market, has less parts can be built easier and cheaper and is lighter than other rotary motors according to the inventor. It develops between 40 and 50 horsepower. The motor proper is only 10 inches in length and 20 inches in diameter, with pistons 2 and 1916 inches in diameter The motor complete weighs only 24O pounds.

STEEL BODIES
  REPLACE WOOD

1 Increasing popularity of enclosed cars has led body builders to plan fur ther improvements on these models. f The one big step made in closed car manufacture has been the substitution of pressed steel for the oldtime wood construction. With the introduction of this new type has come the possi- bility of reduction in the cost of these cars. ,..,..
 The reason for this is that pressed steel bodies afford machine, or quan- tity production. A large amount of hand fitting work has been eliminated and simplicity and compactness of de- sign obtained.
 With it has come a greater strength in the structure of the body. Even the weight has been reduced some what.
 All these changes have made for a cheaper, although better enclosed car. But, although quantity production of the steel parts of the body have helped considerably, one great benefit will come from the possibility of reducing tn enumb Der of coats of paint. Heretofore an automobile body has required 15 or more paintings before it could be declared finished. Now it it could be declared finished. Now it is believed only two Or three coats of hard-baked enamel would do.
 Besides, body builders say the enamel would stand up better than paint against varying weather condi- tions and would prove a sturdier re- sistant to mud and water.

SAYS LOSS OF GAR BETTER THAN JAIL
 FOR NUT OPERATOR
California Motor Chief De- clares Walking Has Tend ency to Sober

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 14.-Director c. J. Chenu of the State Motor Vehi- cle department of California has new system for punishing careless and fast drivers which he believes will be more efficient than the jail sentences judges are imposing for first offense cases of careless or fast driving.
 Chenu would not put the offender in jail except in extreme cases and except when the arrest was for driv- ing while intoxicated. He would in- flict a more severe punishment which he believes would go further toward stopping careless and fast driving than jail sentence. He would deny absolutely the use of an automobile of any description during the period of probation.
 "To put a man in jail for a day or a week is not to punish him so much as it is to punish his wife and children" said Chenu. "The innocent suffer by such action more than the guilty one. I would take the car away and not permit the offender to drive, ride in car or truck or motorcycle either his own, friends or a public conveyance.
 How many men would not be pun ished severely by being forced to take street cars, trains and walk, who ,oth- erwise would use a car. It would be bitter punishment, and would make him think in the future. Besides, he would catch all kinds of rebuke from his family, especially if he was the only driver, and they could not go out because of his crime. I'll bet in the future he would be mighty careful"
 In cases where intox1cation was in volved, Chenu favors the stiff sentence that is imposed, but he thinks in first offenses, or in the ordinary cases, his suggestion will do more than a short jail sentence.
 Another thing, Chenu says the courts should not permit violators to jump their bail, but should bring then, into court upon bench warrant.

INVENTION OF NEW MACHINE
 PUTS BIG k|Nk IN GAS PERIL

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 1S.-Peril of carbon-monoxide gas poisoning from the exhausts of automobiles will be eliminated with use of a machine invented by Guy B. Taylor, chemist of the du Pont company, and H. s. Tay- lor, associate professor of chemistry at Princeton university.
 Announcement of this invention has been made by the American Chemical Society. The machine is designed for the detection of deadly gases. It is applicable especially to automobile ex- haust.
 Carbon-monoxide gas has been the cause of death to many a motorist. Working on the engine, with the gar age shut against fresh air, the motor yist would be quickly overcome by the fumes. The gas is especially dan gerous in that it cannot be detected by the senses. 6
 The new machine, it is said, not only detects the gas, but records it con tinuously while there is the faintest sign of it in the air.

Raps Little Burgs That Stick Motorists

It is all very we'll and good to do as the Romans do when in Rome, whether it be in New York or in Italy. But, stranger can not emulate the Roman customs and ,now the local traffic ordinances the moment he motors within the city limits.
 "A Square Deal for tile automobile" is embodied in a request addressed to local communities everywhere, via the motion picture screen by Topics of the Day" Films in it's commendable "Fair-Play On The Highway" cam paign. The message follows:
 "The best way to eliminate traffic violations is for authorities to coop crate with automobiles rather than to incite violations and then trap the violators, which method is unfair and un-American.
 "Taking advantage of strangers and lining them for violations of unknown local ordinances is a relic of feudal- days and unjust persecution. Let us make sane laws for our tourists so they will have pleasant recollections of our towns.
 Connecticut is showing how coop eration and common sense eliminate accidents. Other states would do well to investigate her laws"
 This screen message reminds us of Ia story Aesop, Jr., teiis about mo- torist who appeared before a Proxy town Judge for exceeding the local speed limit. The motorist, a stranger in that vicinity, had been going through the village at a. reasonable gate of speed. There were no signs stating the speed limit, and the limit in Prozytown was such as would be termed crawling" in any more pro- gressive community. After hearing the evidence in the case, the Judge fined the offender $10. Pulling wal let from an inside pocket, the speeder @ extracted twenty-dollar bill and handed it to the judge.
 "The fine is only $lO," reminded the judge.
 "Yes, I know that" replied the de- fendant defiantly. "but I am going to drive out of town twice as fast as I drove in."
 Right there and then Prozytown lost possible friend. That man, who was driving at a reasonable rate of speed was practically driven away. He might have been capitalist, or man. ufacturer looking for a factory loca- ton. He might have been a merchant Coming to Prozytown with the intent of opening a store. The town gained a minimum fine and made an enemy with potential maximum loss. Our story is more truth than poetry" and perhaps you, dear reader, have had a similar experience. It is to be hoped that the Topics of the Day" cam paign for "Fair Play on the Highway" will meet with the remedial success it so we'll deserves.

ENORMOUS WASTE
 OF GASOLINE IN THE :
 UNITED STATES
Six Million Gallons Are Lost Every Month Thru Evap- oration Alone

Enough gasoline is being wasted an nually in the United States, through preventable evaporation in storage tanks, to run an automobile 1,44O,000,- 900 miles, the equivalent of more than seven round trips between the earth and the sun, according to an extensive survey on conservation made by engi- neers of Johns-Mansyii:e, Inc,, and the United States bureau of mines.
 The excessive losses by evaporation of the more volatile gasoline stored in uninsulated tanks were demonstrat- ed, it was said, by a series of special tests on casing head gasoline conduct ed at Bigheart and Drrunright, Okla. The tests proved that the greater part of these losses are preventable through the use of suitable insulation.
 It was further computed that the ,775 uninsulated storage tanks in the United States holding gasoline ano crude oil, each with a capacity of 55,. 900 barrels, are losing by evaporation more than 6,000,00O gallons of gaso. line per month, and that these losses are largely controllable.

gasoline.
 Undoubtedly, cheaper substitutes for gasoline will be made eventually. At the present time there are mix lures of alcohol and tar oils which, although more expensive than gaso- line, have many good qualities.
 "It should be borne in mind that all the large petroleum refining com panies are spending many thousands of dollars in research work to find a lower-priced motor fuel. Any in. ventor could interest the large cor porations and reap a rich reward in royalties if he could convince them that his process would make gasoline at IS or 20 cents a gallon. "Any person who is considering the purchase fthe patent rights of g process for making cheap gasoline would do we'll to consult a petroleum chemist"

USE CARE IN TAKING
 OUT FENDER MARKS

In strengthening out dents in fend- CTS, if the parts are not to assume a battered appearance, the greatest care should be exercised. About the only satisfactory method is to remove the fender and get on a stout and solid bench, beneath it should be placed a block of wood cut to snugly fit the curve of the appliance, then the dents may be pounded out with compara- lively little injury to the finish and general appearance of the part. In- cidentally, it is good plan to use leather mallet for this work, or to cover up the head of the hammer em- ployed in such manner as to absorb the dent-creating shock.

GAS SUBSTITUTES ARE BUNK, STATES
 INSTITUTE HEAD
Warns Public Against Dopes That Fakirs Are Turning Out

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-(Special)- Substitutes for gasoline still are be- ing used to relieve millions of the gull hhle of their life earnings.
 That the number of victims has not been reduced, in spite of recent dis closures, is maintained by Raymond F. Bacon, formerly head of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research of Pittsburg.
 "In investigations of methods of acharlatans and crack-brained invent ors in the petroleum field," said Dr. Bacon, "it generally has been found that whatever motor fuel there was produced was put into the apparatus by some sleight-of-hand process"
 Motor fuel from peat has been the most popular goal of inventors. A useful oil undoubtedly can be obtained from peat, is Dr. Bacon's view, but it would cost several dollars a gallon. This has been the chief bait for the gullible and many have been caught in the net. Other kinds of fuel also have been "discove,ed", but they have all turned out to te impracticable or sheer frauds.
 Some of the inventors of gasoline processes foist upon the public a mix ture of kerosene to which is added a little ether. The effect of the ether is to give a. quicker ignition, but as this fluid is very costly motor fuel of this kind really costs more thai

DOUBLE HOOK

A great convenience for the garage door is a double hook, to open from either side of the door. Such hook may easily be made from piece of stiff iron bar, bent into the proper shape at each end. A staple is placed inside and another outside appropri- ately placed to receive the hooks. It is necessary to drill a hole in the door, of course, to permit the bent section of the rod to pass through.

When struggling with a balky en- zine do not overprime.
 The usual tendency is to pull out the dash adjustment and flood gas- oline into the priming cups. Many times the mixture is too rich to fire.
 Leave the compression cocks open and spin the engine with the starter. This will thin down the mixture and In great majority of instances will start the engine.
