construct a building at the fair
grounds to house valuable pioneer
records. The building, situated
across the street from the Imperial
city hall, is to be demolished be-
cause OF danger in case of earth
quake, the board was informed. The
building was the, scene of many
meetings in early settlement days
Judge Vaughn NJ Thompson re-
quested the board to provide some
means for caring for juvenile de
linquent girls who have social dis
eases He pointed out that the
girls cannot be kept at the county
juvenile home because of the dam
ger to the other inmates and the
county hospital has no facilities
for caring for them. State institu-
tions will not take such girls, he
pointed out, and he asked the
board to take some action design
ed to compel admission of the girls
to corrective institutions.

would be improved greatly by a
corresponding slash in taxes. This
annual saving of waste would cause
no total unemployment although
there would be temporary readjust-
ments in certain industries. The
money saved from waste could be
used in making more useful goods
and rendering more useful SER
vices.
When l think of these possible
savings, our total debt-public and
private-of OO0,OO0,0OO does not
seem quite so impossible to pay off!
If we as a nation really buckled
our belts a little tighter, We could
pay up this entire debt out OF
savings from waste in a few years
and eliminate the annual interest
bill of nearly SlO,000,0Oj, 900. This
great step forward could be made
possible by a system of collecting
penalties for waste and of using
the funds to encourage the build
ing of new homes, the manufac-
ture of useful clothing, and the
distribution of healthful foods.

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold, or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
YOU cannot afford to take chance
with any remedy less potent than
Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat of the trouble and aids ma
ture to soothe and heal the infiamed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-

refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomulsion is one word-not

GIGANTIC
FUEL WASTE

Individual efforts are not much
help in solving most national prob
lens unless a large group of peo-
pie join in. But even without a
group movement here is case
where every reader who cuts out
one Wasteful habit, like the use OF
liquor, and spends the same money
on a useful product, such as good
furniture, benefits himself and the
entire nation. Take our waste OF
gasoline and oil. The 81 100000 au-
tomobiles now beng used in the
United States and Canada consume
about 20,l5O,00000O gallons of gas
oline valued at S3,830,000,000 yearly.
OF this amount, probably 20 per
cent, or about $750,000,000 is vast
ed When you add TO this the oil
lost through leaky pipes, inefficient
pumps, and other causes, the total
is well over $500 100000
But the money which you need
lessly spend upon gasoline is not
the entire offense. You know that
10 stay for a short time in a gar
age with the door shut and engine
running is sure death. Inefficiency
in burning gasoline in automobile
engines is hurting the health of
people every day Furthermore, the
fumes corrode metal and eat off
paint A get-more- mileage cam
paign would reduce the price and
increase the consumption of gaSo-
line. This same principle APPLIES
to oil and coal used for heating
and power. Probably an additional
$500 100000 is being wasted due to
faulty combustion and bad con-
struction of heating equipment.
TEST YOUR CAR
SAVE MONEY
Until recently it was very diff
cult to discover or measure this
fuel waste. This is no longer true

Cut Down Waste,

BABSON PARK, Fla, Feb. 7.-America's annual waste

are not burning. A tube can be
put into the exhaust pipe OF your
car and a dial Will register the
guilty figure These machines are
SO delicate that the smoking of a
, cigaret will show on the dial. Bad
spark plugs, leaky oil pumps can
be tetected. The gasoline tester has
taken the guess out of the dag
noSing of automobile troubles.
Readers know that paper checks
are as good as money. Here are
eight automobile checks which are
better than either:
!. Adjust carburetor with a gas
analyzer.
2. Stop leaks in fuel pump and
feed system.
3. Set timers properly.
4. Check vacuum with a mer-
curry column.
5. See if condenser is working
properly.
6. Clean and reset spark plugs.
T. Examine fan belt and charg-
ing rate.
8. Test battery and ignition wires.
I know of no case where a car
owner, having these tests made,
could not save money. Just two fin
al thoughts:
l. Your engine performs better
on less gasoline. Only the starting
qualities can be affected If your
mixture is much too thin.
2. Some day our gasoline supply
will give out unless loW-coSt hydro
genation processes are developed.
Every time your carburetor is ad-
justed you are doing a real service
for future generations.
TIP TO BIG
OIL COMPANIES
Instead of spending millions ad-
vertising why their gasoline starts
fast, gives a better pickup, or
what not, the big oil companies
could perform a real service by
giving customers practical sugges-
tons on how to stop waste and get
more mileage. Statistics show that
those industries which help Gus
toners to use their products most
efficiently do more business and
make more money in the long run.
This is only one illustration OF
the constructive policies which l
would like to see Washington adVo-
cate. Under a New DEAL such as
this, everyone would be better off:
Debts would constantly be reduced;
employment would be increased;

The first thought is that the
elimination Of this waste would
throw many people out of work,
but these workers would be reem-
ployed building new houses and
making useful goods. There would
be a shift of employment to worth
while occupations rather than an
increase Of the jobless. Debt and
taxes would be reduced, thus cut
ting retail prices and in turn giving
everyone more goods than he now
receives. No dividing up of our
national wealth need be necessary

we are wasting today and turn
them into food, clothing and shell
