MORE EFFICIENCY :.
IN FUELS SOUGHT
New Types of Gas or
Motors Vital, Says Re-
search Expert.

Either the building of more efficient
motors or the obtaining of more power
from the fuel used will be forced by
the enormous increase of automobiles
in the United States, in the opinion or
{. +. Kettering, president of the Cen
eraI Motors Research Corporation
About per cent of the possible en-
ergv in gasoline is being obtained to-
day. while 95 per cent of it is thrown
away, declares Mr.. Kettering, who is
former president of the Society of Au-
tomotive Engineers. Motors can be
built. he says, that will give at least
30 per cent in efficiency, although he
does not believe it is a. all out of the
range of good engineering to double
the economy of gasoline.
Since l. .O00. .090. 900 gallons of gaso-
line will be used this year and 10000
900 gallons next year, it will be
necessary, according to Mr.. kettering,
10 build motors much smaller in size
and to sacrifice many advanta ges new
enjoyed in the motor industry, or to
do something that will get more en-
ergy out Of the fuel unit.
Tried Many Experiments.
A wide variety of chemical expert
ments were made in the search for an
snti-knock fuel. Mr. kettering dis
closes. After the possibilities of in
Creasing engine efficiency had been
developed, chemists attacked the prob
lem of whether something could be in
troduced into the fuel TO stop knock
ing. Compounds accomplishing this
We're readily found, but all in practice
revealed disabilities that outweighed
their advantages and made their gen
eral use impraCticable. Iodine was
first used and then aniline, on which,
together with its compounds. great
deal of work was done. Various sele-
MUM compounds and terrurium COM
pounds were tried out.
Almost as a, last resort. a study of
he properties of lead was begun.
Then an attempt was made to produce
various organic lead compounds which
would be soluble in gasoline. 1t was
after long series of experiments that
chemists were able to get the tetra
ethyl lead compound soluble in gaso-
line. After Increased dilution. a solu-
tion was found that was 40 or 50 times
potential as anything ever dealt
with
Road Tests Failed.
A long series of road tests were
started, and a few motors were con-
verted into the type of motor that
could be filed with this fuel. There
were many practical difficulties. The
lead burned to lead oxide that was de-
posted on the spark plug fuses.
Finally ethylene dibromide was used.
The lead burned the bromide and did
not stick on the valve. but passed out
of the motor.
Mr.. Kettering believes it will be
from FIVE to seven years before large
manufacturers will venture a change
in their motors to use gasoline which
was not obtainable wherever that mo-
tor might go.
We have been interested in this
problem from the motor industry
standpoint" it is stated by Mr.. ket.
! tering, because we saw that with the
enormous demand for internal com.
bustion engine power some day we
would have to answer this question"

Build Camp Fires
On Lee of Auto
To Auoid Sparks
Hardwood Troigs, ShaU.
mgs Mage Best Camp
Fire Starters.

When starting the camp fire small
twigs or shavings should form the
ba sis over which larger pieces should
be placed. The fire should be built on
the lee side of the car, and if windy
a trench should be dug to avoid dan
ger from sparks. Hardwood is more
desirable than softwood in that the
former makes good Goals.
Boiling and stewing should be done
in an open flame; frying, baking or
roasting on bed of live Goals gath
cred to one side of the fire. In order
to avoid smarting eyes. burnt fingers
and smoky pans, do not attempt to
cook over big smoking fire.
1t is advisable when starting the fire
to scrape away dead leaves and mold,
in order to avoid smoldering after
camp is broken. Campers are warned
not to kindle fires near dead wood,
trees or dead leaves, and to be .ex-
tremely careful in discarding burning
matches.
Do not leave a big fire burning at
night unattended. Before leaving
camp motorists should thoroughly sat
isfy themselves that the fire is dead.

Ancient Hebrews
Had Strict Camp
Sanitation Rules
Modern Cam pers Haze
Similar Conditions.
Commandments

Camp sanitation dates back at least
TO the time the ancient Hebrews spent
40 years in the wilderness on their
way to Canaan. They were under
strict surveillance by their leaders, and
any violations of camp rules were sub
ieCt to punishment.
The modern motor camper has much
the same situation confronting him.
A few of the commandments" of
camp sanitation are
Do not litter the surroundings with
garba ge, empty cans and refuse.
After meals bury all refuse or burn
it, and thus avoid breeding places for
files.
Burl out empty cans and bury them.
Organic refuse should be buried.
If the camp is more or less perma-
nert, throw refuse in a sinkhole, pour
kerosene on II and burn out often. :
Remember the golden rule and leave
the camp site Presentable for the next
fellow.

TOO MUCH PLAY IN TIRES,

The more airN there is in balloon
tires, the faster the car must travel
before the front wheels will wabble
Engineers give the following expla
nation for this fact:
Wabble in new cars, is due to the
fact that the front end of the steer
ing rod and the centers of the front
springs do not describe the same arcs
when they move up and down, due to
road inequalities and i1exing of the
walls of the tires. These forces inn
part a sidewise motion to the wheels
which becomes wheel-wabble when
the forces exceed the friction contact
of the tire with the road. 1t isn't the
big bump that does this. but the jig

opened then, opened as suddenly as IL
1t were on spring, and Rainsford
stood blinking in the river of glaring
gold light that poured out. The first
thing Rainsford's eyes discerned was
the largest man Rainsford had ever
seen-a gigantic creature, solidly
made and black bearded to the waist.
In his hand the man held a long
barreled revolver, and he was point
ing it straight at Rainsford's heart.
Out of the snarl of beard two small
eyes regarded Rainsford.
