is simple and explicit: to give the Turks the

resist Russia, if the cold war heats up.

strongly suspicious of all strangers. The

How to conserve precious gasoline
and save money was recently DEM
onstrated at Detroit when results of
engineering tests showed savings as
high as 709s possible through proper
engine tune-up coordinated with
correct driving techniques.
The tests we're conducted by the
Chrysler Engineering division at the
instigation of W. B. Rice, director
of service for the Plymouth division.
They we're made by technical ex-
perts with a 1913 Plymouth special
deluxe sedan equipped with record
ing and measuring devices including
a fifth Wheel electric speedometer,
gasometer, vacuum gauge, odome-
ters, and batteries of stop watches.
No trick" gasoline saving devices
or special fuels were used. The
secret OF the savings obtained lay in
G) proper spring tune-up of the car,
including ignition, carburation, cool
ing system, oil change and chassis
fabrication, and steering and brake
adjustments, and (2) employment Of
proper driving techniques in han
ding foot throttle and brakes
A basic gas saving up to 1917 may
be secured by giving an out-of tune
car the approved dealers spring
tune-up, the tests showed. Past that
point the driver himself holds the
whip hand in achieving phenomenal
gns savings.

that Negro veterans must organize
if they expect to receive whole
some opportunities from the Vet
Grams Administration. Many of
our veterans don't know where
they are going or where they will
end in this lop-sided educational
program, The prevalent bugaboo
is just to get some training and

The first test run was over ten
mile course in section of Detroit
where stop lights and stop signs
were numerous Here, reasonably
moderate acceleration and brak,ng
showed 60Fo greater gasoline mile
age over the quick stop and start
artist"
Surprisingly, the safe driver who
saved so much gas, arrived at the
finish of the ten mile course only
one and one-half minutes later than
the "hurryup' man, made so per-
cent fewer stops and spent 5lGo less
Of his time at those stops. He aver
aged only two per cent slower speed
and two percent greater elapsed
time.
In a test run over the 165 mile
highway from Detroit TO Lansing.
Michigan, the safe driver achieved
a 500 saving in gasoline on the trip.
The surprising difference in gas
economy was achieved by main
tanning a normal speed Of SO m. i.h.
on open highway as against one OF
10 m.ph.
Added to the advantages OF con-
serving the nations fuel supply for
next winters heating use and the
saving in money sccruing TO the
