Maryland tuberculosis
Head Goes To New York
Will Take Up Work As tuberculosis
Director For Association In
Worlds Largest City.

Albert E. Sinks, the Executive of
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton for the last five years, and who
recently resigned from his local po-
sition, is leaving for New York this
Thursday afternoon to take up his
work as Director Of tuberculosis
Work in the Association for Improv-
ing the condition of the Poor, of New
York City. The A.I.C.P. is one Of the
oldest and best supported Of all well
fare organizations in this country, be-
ing over eighty years old and having
an annual budget of approximately
one million dollars. The New York
Association for the Prevention and
Relief Of Tuberculosis is being COM
bined with the important tuberculosis
work which has been done by the A.
l. C. p, and Mr.. Sinks will be in
charge of this newly created depart
ment.
Mr.. Sinks went to Baltimore five
years ago when the work of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
owing to the war and other reasons.
was at rather low ebb. At that time
the following were trustees of the AS
ISOLATION, and are still on the active
Board: DIR: Henry Barton Jacobs,
DR.. Thomas Fell, DR.. John S. Fulton,
DR.. C. Hampton Jones, DR.. Martin
F. Sloan, and DR.. Samuel Wolman.
Many additional members have been
added to the Board during the last
five years, and it is now recognized
as one of the most active and efficient
Boards in the country. During this
period as a result of increasing
Christmas Seal Sales the budget Of
the Association is now about seven
times as great as at the beginning Of
Mr.. Sinks administration. The fol-
lowing departments of work during
this time have also been established:
a Children's tuberculosis Prevention
at Claiborne, Nd; an active educa-
tional and publicity department; a
medical consultant service, holding
tuberculosis clinics in all counties;
health work for children has been de-
veloped; nutrition work has been
started in the counties; and begin
ming made in industrial tuberculosis
work.
The Maryland Association has be-

come famous throughout the United
States for the we'll conducted Seal
Sale, having the highest per capita
sale of seals Of any of our large
cities.
Mr.. Sinks is a graduate Of the
Western Reserve University, and has
had special training in the field of
social science and medical admins
tration.
William B. Matthews has been e.
lected by the Board of Trustees to
succeed Mr.. Sinks, and is now in
charge.

MORE FUEL ENERGY
FROM new MOTOR GAS
Ptoduct Of General Motors Great
ing Much Interest Among Motor
lists OF This Locality.

C. F. Kettering, head of the Gener.
al Motors Research Laboratories, has
given a vivid explanation of Ethyl
gas, the new General Motors fuel dis
tributed by the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey, which is creating Sc
great an interest among motorists in
this locality.
"The amount of heat energy
states Mr.. Kettering, obtained by
burning a gallon of gasoline is equiv
alentoto the work done in raising the
enormous weight of 93,350, 900 pounds
46, 765 tons or 1000 car loads of coal
"a vertical distance Of one foot. Ex-
pressed in another way, it is equiva-
lent to the work done in elevating a
Chevrolet touring car ten miles ver-
tically in. the air or in propelling it a
distance of $50 miles along a level,
paved road at twenty miles an hour.
"Today the American motorist
drives into convenient filling station
and for less than twenty-five cents
buys gallon of this liquid that con-
tains such an enormous amount OF
pent-up energy. But on the road he
finds that with most automobiles he
spreads a gallon of gasoline over a
distance Of only Is to 20 miles and
sometimes less. So, as matter Of
fact, the present day automobile con-
verts into available power on the road
less than per cent. of the energy
stored up in the gasoline it con-
sumes.
"Certainly with this startling fact
before him, any man would agree
that there is a great need for increas-
ing automobile fuel economies in some
way.
"The realization of this highly de-
sirable and increasingly important
objective means only the utilization
of little more Of fuel energy, very
small portion of which is now actual
ly useful for propelling the automo-
bile. The most outstanding obstacle
in the way of making this more eff
Gent automobile is the troublesome
"pinking" or knocking in the engine
that evidences itself when the auto
mobile driver accelerates the motor
too quickly or when the car is labor
ing on hills on high gear. This knock
is merely an audible sign of the great
trouble that confronts automobile en-
gineers in building more efficient
engine because with present fuels this
knock becomes extremely violent at
higher engine compression. So vio-
lent, in fact, that engines of very high
compression cannot be run at all on
the ordinary gasoline. This is unfor-
tunate because a high compression
engine not only gives high fuel eco
Monies, but it is also a very powerful
motor.
at is because of such conditions as
these that in our laboratories we set
about some years ago to discover some
means Of increasing the usefulness. OF
the great power contained in gallon
of gasoline, and after all these years
of tests, experiment and study, we are
at last able to give the public some
thing that will accomplish this pur-
pose. This is the product that is now
marketed in this locality as "Stan-
dard Ethyl gas.

THOUGHT WAVES BY
 WIRELESS CLAIMED
Several Insist They Received
 Unspoken Messages

Chicago. March 4.-Ether waves were used last night by three eminent psychologists in an attempt to trans init thought
 The efforts were made at the Zenith EdgeWater Beach Radio station, NJAZ, by Professor Robert H. Gault Of Northwestern university, Professor Gardner Murphy of Columbia univer- sity and Professor II. B. English of Antioch college.
 Answers received today from the telepathy tests showed the thoughts Of the scientists were projected into persons minds miles away, it is as- serted.
 When the tests, which consisted of twelve parts, began Professor Gault announced that he was thinking of q number between l and 1000. He asked his listeners to sit passiyely by for three minutes. During that time each person was to write on slip Of paper q number or numbers which came into his mind. Professor Gault and his assistants meanwhile were thinking Of q certain number and NN'N VI s'itG u HtoJftt thtat to the radio audience.
 Eleven other three minute tests fol- lowed. the professor announcing he was thinking of wild animal, certain lines, a morscl of food, etc.
 One Chicagoan who listened in' on the broadcasts Of the experimenters was interviewed, and it is declared that the unspoken thoughts of the psychologists were found to have been correctly received. Meanwhile thousands of answers from those who volunteered to undergo the test be- gan to come into the radio station by mail, and will be tahulated.
 T am undergoing Il pain in one Of my arms or hands" the experimenter enunciated into the microphone in ono of tho tests.
 Ouch. ii hurts" continued the sci enlist. What hurts? What is the pain? Where is the pain?'
 X Miss Wilkes, miles away. said she felt the pain in sympathy with the un- personiiied voice.
 'Whv, when he was talking, if felt just as if somebody was pinching my own hand" she said, and the profcs- sor declared the young woman was right.

TELL OWNER COST OF
JOB BEFORE HE PUTS
CAR in NASH SHOP
Flat Rate Basis of Charging
Proving Entirely Salts
factory. -

The repair shop Of the Jack Neal
Nash Motors Company, Augusta
street is being operated on a flat rate
charging basis which enables man.
ayers to tell car owners the cost of
any particular job before the car en-
tiers the shop. In this way it is not
possible, says the service manager, for
an owner to figure on a job costing
him so much and then be disagreeably
surprised TO find that the expense far
exceeds that which he expected TO pay
This policy is proving popular with
the Nash owners of San Antonio, as
it has a great many features that can
not be obtained in shop operated
on the basis of so much per hour. The
policy of this company is to have only
the best mechanics in its employ.
Not only does the flate rate pro-
tect the users of Nash automobiles,
but Mt the same time it is a, guaran-
tee to them of absolute satisfaction on
work, because any job turned out by
this shop which is not right will be
made right without any further cost
to owners of Nash cars.
This point is thoroughly understood
by all Nash mechanics and they take
particular pride in seeing that no job
turned out by. any one of them proves
unsatisfactory because it is not only
embarrassing TO have that job com"
bacS but he knows the next time he
fixes it he will receive no compensa-
ton for his work. In this way the
work is guaranteed by the Jack Neal
Nash Motors Company and is also
guaranteed by the mechanic.

Chrysler Agrees With New
York Governor on Ex-
animation.
CHARACTER TEST TOO
Would Even Finger-print
Applicants for Licenses
to Drive.
BY WALTER p. CHRYSLER.
Chairman. Board Of Directors. Max.
well, Chrysler and Chalmers Motor
Car COMPANIES,

Every time a bandit makes his es-
cape in an automobile that fact is
recorded. But how often is it also
recorded that the police went in pur-
suit in a motor car.
The automobile like everything else
ever made by man has been abused.
| The criminal, especially has found
many uses for the motor car. But so
have the police, hospitals and fire de-
4 partments. And out of fairness to the
fmotor owning public the entire story
| should be told.
/ approve of the recommendation OF
| Governor Smith of New York state
that there should be state depart
6ment of automobiles. There should be
medical and mental examination OF
jail persons who want licenses to drive
cars. The mentally and physically UNI
lift, for the sake of themselves, the
| pedestrian and motor car owner,
Eshould not be permitted to operate
Fears.
should Finger.Print Applicants.
n ] agree with the recommendations
k6f James 2. Martin, probation officer
5of New York, that there should be an
Examination of the character of all
4applicants for licenses. If necessary
/, the candidates for licenses should be
& finger-printed to make sure they have
Emo criminal record.
y More care should be taken in the is
ssuing of license plates. There should
lbe separate licenses for pleasure cars,
Monumental vehicles and omnibuses.
Il To relieve congestion licenses for
pleasure cars could be issued at one
time of the year and licenses for COM
lmercial vehicles at another.
1t is hoped that at some future con-
[lference Of the governors some of these
Ecommon problems relating to the mo-
ktor car will be considered. For ex-
Fample, hand signals differ in various
6parts of the country. Why wouldn't it
Ebe far better to have them standard
Eized SO that a man may go into any
tstate and feel safe in driving because
HE is able to understand signals?
n The automotive industry probably
Twill never face an economic satura-
Elton unless some of these common
Eproblems are considered in their ma
6tional aspect srather than local.
No one is more interested than the
Hmotor car owner himself in working
Fout these problems satisfactorily to
Hall. The owner of an automobile is a
fman who has made an investment in
and everything that
Etends toward solving some of these
Fproblems helps him to get bigger
treturn on his investment.
