On Guard Muneuvers

Gen. George q. Marshall, Army
chief Of stan, yesterday asked em-
ployer cooperation during National
Guard maneuvers this summer In
permitting their employees to par
ticipate in the proposed longer
training period.
"The War Department is keenly
conscious Of the fact that the men
Of the National Guard must make
the principal sacrifice. and for that
reason alone we are hopeful that
their employers will, cooperate to
assist us in meeting the situation, !"
Gen. Marshall said.
I'VE are in the situation today
where we have to improve the
training of all our people, and the
National Guard constitutes IS per
cent of our initial protective force.
We have no choice In the matter,
the world situation being what it
is today, but to increase National
Guard training from two to three
weeks"

KeniIworth Citizens Hear
Express Highway Urged

A. D. Calvert, president of the
Northeast Conference Of Citizens
Associations, last night called for
the erection of a trans-city express
highway to serve the two most
widely used entrance and exit routes
IN Washington. Speaking at the
flnal meeting of the Kenilworth
Citizens Associations, Mr.. Calvert
stated an elevated or underground
four-lane road would relieve traffic
congestion throughout the District,
would lessen accidents and do away
with the many dangerous inter-
sections. LET me point out" Mr..
Calvert added, "that Northeast
Washington Is the gateway to the
Capital and should therefore be
beautified in every way possible. I"
The association favored the plan
for new Abbott Vocational School

1t disapproved Of the proposed
Brentwood Park site because Of its
small acreage.
The president appointed a COM
mittee to investigate the Barnes
property behind the old Bennings
Race Track at Benning road and
Barnes lane NE. for possible de-
velopment. Mrs. Mabel M. Hubbel,
IN a motion, requested the commit
tee to contact the Bennings Citi-
zens' Association and the River
view Terrace Citizens Association
regarding the property. The motion
was carried. A letter to the Federal
Housing Administration also was
authorized in respect to the tract.
Charles M. Maize, Earl E. Dillon
and Mrs. Hubbel were named on the
! committee.
The group indorsed Representa-
tive Sheridans bill to investigate

Octane Comfort

(New York Times)
 If the individual British plane is superior to the German in performance, it is chiefly because of superior fuel and lubricating oil Gasoline is rated according to it's "octane number which is meas ure of anti-knock value powerful engine is a high compression engine. When explosive mixtures are highly compressed they detonate spontaneously and prematurely, whereupon speak of Knocking. Air speeds of 25O, 300 and 400 miles an hour are impossible with gasoline that cannot stand high compression The "octane number is based pri- marily two pure materials so-octane and heptane Isooctane is rated at 100 because it does not knock in standard engine; heptane is rated at zero be- cause it knocks most readily Regular gasoline knocks about much 70 percent iso-octane in heptane, so that it's octane number is 70.
 What all this means is shown by recent devel- opments In 1928 gasoline of about 60 octane rating was generally used in military planes As the oc- tane numbers rose the engines gave more and more power for each pound of weight. Thus a rise in the octane number from 60 to 87 means B percent more power and further rise from 87 to 100, an this into practical flying and behold take-off distances reduced 20 percent and climbing speeds in creased 40 percent which in turn that 1900 pounds in gasoline can be dispensed with in large machines to carry equivalent weight of bombs.
 The best aviation gasoline that Germany can pro- duce is reported to be that obtained by causing hydrogen to combine chemically with the gas ob- tained from coal and coal tar. This has a rating of P to 75 By adding little tetraethyl lead, the number is raised to 37. Some of the German planes which have been shot down supplied with gaso- line with octane rating low 67. Our Army gasolines have rating of well above 100.
 Airplanes must be fabricated and the lubricat- ing oil required for gasoline with octane number of 100 must be much better than that required for gasoline of 87 rating On the average about eight gallons of lubricatng oil required for each flying hour Germany is unable to produce the volume of lumbricatng oils needed to keep in good condition engines that burn 100-octane gasoline.
 The vast public that prays for the victory of Great Britain extract much comfort from octane numbers. We in particular have reason to rejoice at the performance of British pursuit planes and bombers For it is performance which our petrol- cum chemists have made possible Every British plane is driven and fabricated by fuel and lubricants made either in this country in British refneries with American technical aid

HOROSCOPE. E. "The stars incline 5
 bat do not compe"
SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER

l f
 Benefic aspects dominate today The morning hours are suspicious for giving a signal that will start important projects. The judgment should be keen under this sway which stimulates energies and efl- courages initiative.
 Heart and Home: This is a most fortunate date for home hospital ties Young folk should make ftAe most of social contacts for there is a promising sign for romance. | The stars are favorable to actresses who hope to distract public atten- tion from world upheaval. Reunions of families and friends after sep aration is forecast as most forth nate today. This is a date for cour- ageous plans and good resolutions. Busiess Affairs; This is a more promising day for the Navy than for the aviation branch of the service Young men who join the forces being mobilized for prepar- edness may find it lucky to enlist for air service today. Great i'm provementS in American airplaneS will be of supreme moment to the United States before the end of the year. Unemployment will be great ly reduced by the end of the all- Inn uyhi rri1 fa fNr women seeking positions. Extreme efficiency will be demanded in all professional and mercantile organ izations.
 National IssueS The contest for the presidential election will as- Sume extraordinary phases n ek t month, it is indicated by the stars. Party lines will be blurred and 9he defeated candidate is to receive honOrs in the nation which will utilize the great ability of it's out standing men. Specialists will Sbe called to Washington where wonien will demonstrate their efficiency in positions for which they are best qualified. The line between the sexes will be distinctly drawn Wom- en will not be put in offices for which men are best fitted
 International Issues: Speculation regarding Armageddon has brought out the prophecy that unless the present war is fought to it's. ex- tremes of victory and defeat there will be another world conflict which will blot out what is left of civilization. Again the seers fore tell central place in world affairs for the United States. This, nation is to become the most enviede and consequently the most hated in certain quarters. PerilS as we'll as blessings are forecast for coming months.
 Persons whose birthdate it , is have the augury of a year of health and good fortune. It is wise to watch for deception, for there will be much double-dealing
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be serious and Studious Many scientists and philosophers belong to this sign. adr
