Mary Ares Suit Against
Sister and Brother-in-
Law Being Heard Today

damages was partly heard today In

| brought the action on the basis of
loan made to her relatives and for
work performed In connection with
the tearing down of an old barn on
Noble street and building a bakery,
and performing other manual labor,
for which she was promised SO
week.
The case was barely under way,
when Judge F. B. Hungerford, coun-
sci for the defendant. motioned for
dismissal on the ground that the
plaintiff was minor and as such
brought the action. Leonard S. APP
pell. counsel for the plaintiff. ex-
planned that he did not think it nee
essary as the plaintiff was married,
but the Judge insisted on dismissal
1t was finally agreed that the plain
tiff post SIS bond for costs and
substitute party plaintiff. The
plaintiffs husband did not have the
necessary amount, whereupon Mr..
Appel asked counsel for the defense
whether he would accept him
(AppelD as security. The judge an.
swered that he did not wish to have
his colleague go to such extremities,
but Mr.. Appel stated that he was
willing to go bond for his clients.
and the hearing was resumed.
Turned Over Pay to Relatives
The plaintiff. who is 20 years old,
came to this country five years ago
according to the testimony, and
went to live with her sister and
brother-in-law in Thompsonville,
where she was employed soon after
her arrival in the carpet mills. She
worked there for 10 months. earn
ing from s25 to $50 per week, and
for four months turned over her
earnings to her relatives. Later she
went to New Jersey to another sis
ter and also worked in a factory
and saved little money. came back
to Thompsonville, deposited $135 in
a bank, and being unable to find
work returned to her other sister.

HOPE TO DISCOVER
why MOTOR MISSES
Scientists Studying Cause Of
Trouble On Getaway

Washington. Jan. Is Pl-Fuel and
motor experts of the bureau Of
standards are seeking an answer to
the motorists question: why does
my engine miss sometimes when !
step down on the accelerator."
There Is n deep seated scientific
problem behind the rather simple
query which is a commoner one
than the individual motorist real
ICES, the experts say.
Is the fuel to be blamed, or Is It
the engine. or the carburetor which
mixes the fuel and air for the en-
CINE? How can the fault be elim-
questions to which the bureau of
standards, in cooperation with the
automotive and petroleum industry,
is seeking the answer.
Early experiments to solve the
problem indicates a general rela-
tionship between the character OF
the fuel and the acceleration per-
Torrance obtained with 1t. The
tests have shown that of two fuels,
the one which gives better accelera-
ton under conditions of winter op-
Grafton may be poorer than the
other under summer conditions.
1t also has been learned that
while an engine will accelerate
about an we'll with cold jacket wa
ter as with hot, heating the intake
manifold greatly improves acceler-
alton. The acceleration obtained
with mixtures both leaner and
richer than those normally en-
ployed has been accurately meas
ured to determine the ACCESSIBILITY
OF their use for general purposes.
The bureau of standards investi-
cation will continue the study of
the relation between fuel ana ac-
celeration performance and will
test the effectiveness Of carburetor
auxiliary devices designed to give
nearly as good acceleration per-
Torrance with a low grade Of fuel
as can be obtained with a high test
gasoline.
The tests also have shown that
while a high test gasoline is valu-
able to aid in starting the engine
in cold weather, 1t is Of little added
value during extremely warm
weather.
The ultimate object of the COOP
erative investigation is to deter
mine what volatility Of motor fuel
is most economical from the stand
point OF starting, operating and ac-
celeration performance in an effort
to conserve American petroleum
resources.
The bureau Of standards must
determine, as part of its govern
mental functions. the volatility OF
gasolines sold to the public.
Whether those gasolines should
have higher volatility or a lower
volatility must be predetermined as
new scientific Investigations show
the way for greater efficiency with
lower grade gasolines.
Both the petroleum and automo-
tive industries are watching the
bureau of standards investigation
closely with the hopes that some
device or method may be worked
out to use lower grade gasoline
with greater efficiency in accelera-
tion

SAYS ROAD BUILDING
INTERNATIONAL PROBLEM
X. Keith Compton, President OF
American Association, Addresses
Convention in Cleveland.

Cleveland, Jan. Is up - Road
building a few years ago concerned
the county, city, state and nation;
today it concerns all nations and
therefore has become an interna-
tional proposition, r. Keith Comp
ton, president of the American Road
Builders association, declared in an
address at the opening of the 26th
! annual convention OF the associa-
zion today.
THE steps taken by a group OF
nations to construct highways lead
ing from one to another, is probably
the greatest investment of this age
for creating good will. mutual un-
Outstanding. and for creating COM
merce between such nations"
= Compton said. He believed the visit
of President-Elect Hoover to the
South and Central American coun-
tries will add impetus to the move
ment for the construction OF the
Pan-American highway, he said, and
that ut will have far reaching ef-
feet on this important matter OF
road building"
Compton touched on the accom-
plishments of the various divisions
of the Road Builders association.
He told of the Standardization work
and the efforts toward coordination
between various bodybuilding bodies.
Captain H. C. Whitehurst, of Wash
ington, in discussing traffic condi-
lions in cities, criticized 1.-THE entire
lack in nearly every city in coordi-
mating of highway, traffic and pub
lie utility interests. The works Of
one are constantly upset by the
works of the other"
He also criticized the lack Of
field control over street construc-
ton and the absence of systematic
maintenance.
Leaving for the moment mis-
takes in judgment and of subgrade
conditions, dare say 80 per cent
of other failures of streets and roads
are due to poor inspections and lack
of field control or improper main
tenance," he said.
