Light, manager of the United Food Company, who releases Abby Garn, Vet shortstop from the meat market department, and A. F. Ficken of the Sanitary Market, who lets off George Worth, early enough on each day to report for the games.

Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

It's lust a matter Of fitting the head
of the engine closer to the pistons so
that there is less room in the comous-
ton chambers when the pistons are all
the way up on the compression stroke,
which precedes the firing stroke.
But for successful, quiet operation 1t
is also necessary to handle the gas eff
ficiently and to use fuel that will not
detonate That sounds technical, but
it means just this: When gas Vapor
fires there is tendency for the first
part of the fame in its travel from the
point of ignition to compress excessively
the unburned gas ahead. This makes
the squeezed gas go off with sharp
knock Defamation.
Every one knows that a slow speed
ometer is dangerous because the driver
always is travelling too fast, but a fast
speedometer also can be a hazard
When a driver thinks the car is going
faster than it really is there's a natural
inclination to apply the brakes too
Justify.
You've certainly noticed that the dol
lars 60 much farther at the provision
stores this year. In fact, IS cents now
is as good as dollar bill was last year
When you are driving along with some
thing troubling you about the car do
you stop to realize, however. that serv-
ice charges for repair work are showing
a similar cut. And the work is better
because mechanics know more about
cars and have finer equipment with
which to work

d. C.. Naval Reserve

One enlisted man in the LIST Bat
talon. United States Naval Reserves OF
the District of Columbia, was among
the % successful candidates from Re
serve organizations throughout the
country, who have successfully passed
the entrance examinations for the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis, Md. The successful local youth
is David c. Crowell, jr:. attached to the
LIST Fleet Division. He is son of
Capt. David c. Crowell, Supply Corps.
u. s. N, and resides at 1859 Cathedral
avenue.
Although the Naval Reserve law
allows the appointment of IS enlisted
men each year from the Reserve to the
Naval Academy, the Navy Department
has never yet been successful in filling
this quota and the number who passed
this year is said to be the highest ever
attained
The appointments are confined to en-
listed men, who must have served at
least one year at the time of entrance
into the Academy on July l. Com
petitive examinations are held through
out the country each year for apph-
cants for the appointments.
Lieut.. Comdr. Walter c. Lockhart,
chief engineer of the local Reserve bat
talon, has been ordered to Is days OF
active duty for training, beginning June
8, it was announced at the headquar-
tiers Of the local battalion. He will re-
port on that date to the commandant

Railroad Trucks Urged.

Railroads were urged recently by the
Interstate Commerce Commission to en-
gage in the truck transportation of
freight by highway where such business
is more profitable than rail hauling
This development in transportation
has been foreSeen by many highway
economists The experience of the rail-
roads in handling freight Of all kinds
should be of immense value to them in
the field of highway transport should
they adopt the suggestion Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
Store-door delivery has been urged for
railroads for long time. It Is but
step, and logical development Of store
door delivery to handle short-haul
freight by truck.
Thomas H. Macdonald. chief, United
States Bureau of Public Roads, in an
address before the American Road
Builders Association in Detroit, out
lined the situation as to the present use
of roads that might affect traffic should
the railroads enter the bucineSS OF high
way trucking on large scale. He said
that the predominating use Of the high
ways is by privately-owned automobiles,
approximating IS to 80 per cent OF the
total volume Of highway utilization.
The use of the roads by automobiles
and trucks is predominantly local, IS
to 90 per cent in thickly populated
States. The use is for short distances.
about one-half under 80 miles. The
ownership OF both automobiles and
trucks on the highways is predominant

per cent. This result was obtained
at the theoretical mixture strength for
the same freedom from detonation on
the fuel used for the test.
Power Increase Seen.
The use of soapsuds as a crank
case lubricant, in connection with
spraying the lubricant in copious
quantities on the under side of the
piston, accomplished an increase of IS
per cent in the power output of the
engine on the same fuel without de-
tonation. A combination of these two
types of cooling increased by one-third
the power output of this same engine
at a 15-to-l air-fuel ratio.
These increases in power output
are less pronounced when richer mix
lures are used. Hence 1t is apparent
that the gains due to exceptional cool
ing are greater In engines which are
designed to operate most economically.
Data obtained on a single-cylinder
engine may appear to be only OF aca-
demic interest, inasmuch as such well
cooled valves and pistons are not now
commercially available. These expert
mentS, however, do point the way for
future engine design developments.
Internally cooled valves, which have
hollow heads as we'll as stems. have
recently been developed. A great ad-
vance in engine efficiency will come
about when means are found to cool
pistons more efficiently by some method
other than contact with the cylinders
and lubricating oil"
