"Roxie" Among Those Wish
ing Success to 0rganiza-
ton Campaign Here.

. 5. L. Rothafel, "Roxie." favorite
. with radio fans, has given his in
oorSement to the campaign of the
salvation Army to raise $4,000 to
carry on relief work for the year In
a letter TO Adjt. Ernest r. Holz,
director of the drive, "Roxie" said:
Tne work of the Salvation speaks
for itself and Is deserving of the
heartiest cooperation from every one.
Good luck. I hope the campaign
goes over"
More than 100 letters of a similar
nature also have been received by
Adjt. Holz from prominent Wash
ington business and professional men
who have Interested themselves in
the work of the Army.
Approximately $4,000 was sub
scribed yesterday. bringing the total
TO $4,000. The advisory board of
the Army has pledged itself to raise
$4,000 more, $1,000 for each member,
and the girls of the Evangellne resi-
dence at 1880 l. street, one of the in
stitutions operated by the Army, have
pledged themselves to subscribe
$1,000.
Plans for carrying on the $4,000
drive were discussed this afternoon
at meeting of the advisory board
at the Evangeline. Reports of sub
scriptions also were made, and Brig.
William H. Barrett spoke briefly on
the work of the Army.
One of the important activities of

MARYLAND TO OPEN
AUTO TAG CAMPAIGN
Demands That Plates Be in Plain
View and That They Be Kept
"Reasonably Clean

Maryland traffic authorities have
embarked on a. campaign against OBJ
scure license tags. Henceforth they
will insist on plates being clear of tire
racks, bumpers on other equipment.
The drive had its origin in notifica-
ton received by Il. Austin Baughman,
commissioner of motor vehicles. from
Pennsylvania authorities to the eff
feet that so cars bearing Maryland
license tags were caught in a roundup
during a 24-hour campaign in the
Keystone State to eliminate obscured
numbers. The position of the tags
was said to violate both Pennsylvania
and Maryland laws.
Under Maryland law, registration
plates must be displayed entirely un-
obscured' and kept reasonably
clean" They also are to be fastened
so as not to swing.

Fire Loss in Europe.

Europe has a noticeably low fire loss
as compared with the United States,
and the reason is said to be three

the Europeans are naturally more

and in the third place they are held to

Oxygen In AIR AT NIGHT HELD
FACTOR In AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL
Engineering Experts Discuss Theory Advanced That
Atmospheric Conditions Between Days Have
Beneficial Effect on Internal Combustion.

cause he has experimental with an
engine running in an atmosphere con
tanning different percentages of water
vapor and found that no variation
in efficiency could be recorded by
methods which were not abnormally
sensitive. But he propoundS an in
terestinS explanation that appears
plausible and suggests that research
study might prove 1t to be correct.
He notices that the night increase
in engine efficiency is greater in Sum
mer than in Winter. Other than tenn
perature difference, the most outstand-
ing difference between Summer and
Winter is the greater amount of foli-
age and vegetation in Summer. He
says also that, due to the breathing
methods of animals and the chemical
reactions that take place during com
bustion, Ii large quantity of carbon
dioXide gas Is introduced to the at
moSphere. Unless nature provided
some means of restoring in an uncom-
bined state the oxygen which goes to
form the carbon dioxide. we should
perish from a lack of oxygen and an
excess Of carbon dioAide.
Says Nature Compensates.
Nature compensates for this be-
cause of the way in which the organs
of vegetation are constructed. During
the day all vegetation absorbs or
breatheS in carbon dioXide through its
foliage, where chemical action takes
place internally and the gas is sepa-
rated into its two constituents car
bon and oxygen. The vegetation re.
tainS and makes use of the carbon, but
the oxygen is finally eXuded in a free
and uncombined state at night. 1t

MEANS LOSS OF POWER.
Cold Weather Should Find Engine
Free From Carbon.

Since the early days of motoring the
car owner has considered the Spring
and Summer as the logical times to
have the valves ground and the car
bon cleaned. and he is content with
the idea that engine inefficiency does
not matter in the Winter. An engine
choked with carbon means loss of
power, and in cold weather 1t will be
necessary to overcome the following
causes of wasted power:
Stiff bearings, congealed oil, poor
ignition from battery weakness, faulty
traction, defective carburetion. snow
drifts and underinf1ated tires caused
by neglect.

follows that, since all vegetation is
giving out oxygen at night. a greater
percentage Of oxygen Is present in the
night air than in the day air. Since
oxygen is absolutely necessary for the
support of combustion. the more oxy-
gen present In the ali the more per
feet will be the combustion Of the gas
oline-air fuel mixture vapor in the en-
gine cylinders. The combustion will
be more complete and the rate of flame
propagation will be higher, thus caus-

proved by tests that night conditions
do have a beneficial effect upon the
efficiency of the internal combustion
gasoline engine, such as is used in an
automobile. and propoundS a novel
theory to explain the matter. The
proof he cites is as follows:
Two 225 horsepower aeronautic in

gasoline fuel. the other used coal gas.
When night fell the number of reVolu-
tions per minute, as recorded by a
revolution counter. increased on both
engines. and the throttles had to be
slightly closed to keep the number of
revolutions down to u scheduled figure.
About an hour and a half after sun
rise the number of revolutions of the
two engines commenced to decrease,
and the throttleS had to be reopened
to their respective positions of the
night before. Since both engines be
haved in a similar manner. night con
ditionS may be presumed to have a
beneficial effect upon efficiency.
