CHEVROLET BOOSTER TESTS

How heavily loaded trucks can
increase their speed over hilly routes
yet cut down their fuel consumption
has been demonstrated in formal
tests observed and certified by the
Contest Board of the American Au-
tomobile Association. The paradoxi-
cal result---more speed on less gas
oline--is obtained by the use of an
automatic booster engine, added to a
standard truck. Whenever grade and
load conditions impose too great a
burden ON the truck engine, the
booster engine cuts in automatically
and adds it's power to main road
speed.
The A. A. A. tests, one on the
Pixies Peak highway, and one at
Berthoud Pass, on U. s. 40 west of
Denver, recorded the performance
of Chevrolet / n ton tractor unit
equipped with Clark automatic
booster engine, towing a semi-trail-
or heavily loaded with steel plates.
In the Berthoud Pass test, a direct
indication of the savings in time and
fuel effected by the booster engine
was obtained by running twice over
the same route and distance, once
with the truck engine acting alone,
again with the truck engine and the
booster engine working together.
The climb to Berthoud Pass is
steady 14-mile ascent of many turns
and steep pitches, reaching an ele-
walton of 1875 feet, over half
mile higher than the starting point.
When the climb was made under
the power of the truck engine alone,
the time was 1h.40m.5s., average
speed S.37 miles per hour, and gas
oline consumption 1913 gallons.
With the booster engine operating,
the time was 5Sm.30s., average
speed 14.36 miles per hour, and gas
oline consumption was 80 gallons.
Thus, the use Of the booster engine
effected a AZ per cent saving in time,
a ~ per cent gain in speed, and a
20 per cent reduction in fuel con-
sumption.

During the summer the main treat
ment is rest and play. However, all
playing is such as to give healthful
exercise that will build bodies.

HALF-MILLION CHRISTMAS
TREES HARVESTED ON
NATIONAL FORESTS

More than half a million Christ
mas trees cut ON National Forests
will be used in American homes
this year, says the U. S. Department
of Agriculture's Forest Service.
Trees cut on National Forests are
tagged with red tags reading: "This
tree was cut from the National For
est under the direction of the U. 8.
Forest Service for the improvement
of the forest stand.
Christmas tree cutting on the Ma
tional Forests is encouraged. 1t en-
ploys local labor and benefits the
forest by thinning thick stands SO
that the remaining trees have better
opportunity to grow. Proper thin
ming leaves about 700 trees from
five to ten feet in height on an acre
to grow into merchantable timber.
Thinning removes crowded and
stunted trees, leaving the thrifty,
fast-gr0wing trees.
Balsam fir and spruce are used
most for Christmas, but others are
cut. In Colorado and other parts Of
the Rockies white fir and the spire-
like alpine fir are abundant. They
usually are less favored than Doug
las-fir which, when slow-grown, is q
pleasing symmetrical tree. The
South has the Fraser fir or southern
balsam--but it grows only ON the
mountain tops in North Carolina and
Tennessee. On the Pacific, the
Douglas-fir is common as a Christ
mas tree.
Black and red spruce vie with the
frs in New England, Pennsylvania,
and New York. In Illinois and Ohio,
urserymen often supply the trade
with nursery-grown Norway spruce.
Many table trees" come from mus.
kegs Of the Northern Lake States.
In Maryland and Virginia, the Vir-
ginia scrub pine Ia common--in other
localities, northern white pine.
southern pine, and red and white
cedar and redwood.

INCREASE IN TUBERCULOSIS

Danger signals Of a flare-up in
tuberculosis are already appearing
throughout the United States, &C.
cording to Doctor Samuel Wolman,
president of the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association.
In communities where defense &C.
tivities are fourishing, recent infor-
nation from the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association points to an in
crease in the prevalence of tuber-
culosis, possibly due to overtime and
increased strain, with overcrowded
housing conditions, said DR.. VOL
man.
The death rates in 1910 in 10
large cities as compared to the rates
in 1889 show am increase, accord
ing to recent survey, it was point
ed out.
Not only does Baltimore have the
highest death rate among the 10
largest cities in the United States
from the disease, but also this death
rate is an increase of 20% over last
years. In other cities, the increase
was as follows: Philada., s per cent;
st. Louis, 6 per cent; Boston, 8 per
cent; Washington, D. c., per cent;
San Francisco, s per cent; New Or
leans, per cent; Cincinnati, 81 per
cent; Newark, 10 per cent.
Other cities showing increases
were: Indianapolis, per cent;
Houston, 8 per cent; Rochester, s
per cent; Louisville, per cent;
Columbus, 2 per cent; Jersey City,
per cent; Toledo, IL per cent; Ak
ron, 81 per cent; Omaha, 80 per
cent: Kansas City, Nantucket, 5
per cent.
"It is extremely urgent that every
possible effort be made in order to
check this rise and spread Of the d.
sease", said Doctor Wolman. "Tuber-
culosis has always increased during
war. In Europe today the disease is
rapidly rising"
He said that although no accurate
figures were available from Euro
pean countries, England reports a
steady rise in the disease, the Vichy
Government reports sharp rise.
Word has come from one of the oc-
cupied Low Countries that tubercu-
losis is reaching stage not unlike
the great epidemics of the Middle
Ages.
Every effort is being made. by
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton, as we'll as the National Asso-
citation, to meet the danger we face
from tuberculosis, Doctor Wolman
concluded. 1--WE are fully aware of
the new problems facing us and are
preparing in every way possible to
meet them.
IF ever we needed the full under
standing and cooperation of the pub
lie we need it now, not only during
our current Christmas Seal Sale,
but throughout the coming year in
all our work.
I'VE have full confidence that we
can hold tuberculosis In check IN
this country, and to that end We are
increasing all our efforts to the

CHRISTMAS SAFETY

Santa Claus whiskers have caused
many Christmas tragedies! So have
trees, fiammable decorations, wax
candles, tinsel-like costumes, and
gift wrappings.
A thousand trees will burn like
torches in homes this Christmas
New Year holiday season. Hundreds
of homes, clubs, and stores will be
destroyed. These tragedies will also
take their toll of lives, turning hap
piness to gloom in many a school,
church, home, and public gathering
place where safety is ignored.
These warnings come from State
Insurance Commissioner John b.
Centrum. Christmas" says Mr..
Centrum sis time of added dan.
gers but you can prevent such disas-
ters from happening to you by OBJ
serving simple precautions"
First of all the Christmas tree
should be safeguarded. Fire proven
ton authorities such as Underwrit-
ers' laboratories, Inc, after much
experimentation, recommend the
following as giving the best results
of any method yet developed to rem
der trees less susceptible to ignition:
/. Buy only fresh tree.
Q. Saw off the trunk diagonally an
inch or more above the end.
3. Stand the tree at once in a tub
of plain water. Keep the water level
wall q hnun tho ont ond
A. Keep the tree outdoors in cool
shaded place until actually needed.
Sprinkle the branches frequently.
Replenish the water in the tub.
s. Keep the tree standing in water
the entire time it is in the house and
possible.
Few people" says Mr.. Centrum,
tgive much thought to properly
placing the tree in the room. It
should be so placed that If it does
catch fire it cannot block escape from
the room even If 1t falls over. Never
should it be put close to radiator
or fireplace.
A burning tree makes furious
and intense fire which Is difficult to
extinguish. Take no chances; call the
fire department Immediately. AS an
added safeguard have a fire extin-
guisher handy, or at least garden
hose already connected or buckets of
water where they can be reached
quickly.
Wax candles are still used in win
dows and on trees by few people
and each year cause needless losses
of lives and property. Use only cleo
trio lights which have been tested
for safety and approved by. Under
writer's Laboratories. Be sure that
your old light strings and all con-
nections are in good condition. Short
circuits have been responsible for
many Christmas fires.
Do not overload electrical cir
cults with too many strings of lights.
Directions are given on the boxes of
approved light strings telling how
many can be safely connected to-
gether. Don't USE indoor strings
outdoors.
Lastly. says Mr.. Centrum.
''your Christmas will be much hap
pier and safer II you will keep away
from the tree all combustihle mater
ials and such things as electric
trains, toy stoves, ETC.. which may
cause 2 sperk."
