Like these pretty girls, they all ordered the attendants to "till It up." S. Experiments Cut Cost of Gas Adjustment of Carburetors oil Government Trucks Reduces Consumption of Fuel 'Washlngtim.--Substantial savings of Caroline by the periodical adjustment of carburetors based on the results of analysis of exhaust gases fro.u automobile engines are sjiid to be feasible by the Department of the Interior following experiments made by the bureau of mines on the lleet of motor trucks used by the goverurueut fuel yard In Washington. As the result of carburetor adjustments made by gas analysis In the bureau's experiments, an actual increased efficiency in mileage and saving of gasoline amounting to 22 per cent was attained. The tests demonstrate that a portable carbon dioxide indicator for testing the exhaust gases of a motor vehicle gives a positive indication of the carbfiretor adjustment, removes all guesswork of such adjustment and is perfectly feasible practically. 8amples of Gas Tested. The government fuel yard tracks tested by the bureau of mines ranged in capacity from two and a half to seven and a. half tons. During the winter months, when the Jeuiand for coal Is heavy, from 80 to 35 trucks are used. Samples of the exhaust gas were takeu on the trucks kept In servt<fe for summer hauling In order to determine the carburetor adjustment as used. Chunges then were made to a more economical adjustment whenever possible, without sacrificing flexibility of operation and power. In all but one case the carburetors were found to be adjusted too rich for maximum power and economy. Increase in Mileage Noted. The actual increase in mileage and saving of gasoline due to the carburetor adjustments raade»by gas analysis when the month previous and the month following the adjustments are compared, showed an Increase In mileage of 22 per cent; for the second month after adjustment, 16 per cent, and for the third mouth, :> per cent. When the mileage is compared truck for truck, and not taking into consideration the distance each traveled during the month, the increased mileage equaled 24.7, 21.2 and .16.2 per cent, respectively. The adjustment of carburetors by analysis of exhaust gas Is based upon the fact that the carbon dioxode In the exhaust la a direct indication of the al£fnel ratio and completeness of combustion. In turn, the air-fuel ratio and completeness of combustion tell whether the carburetor la properly adjusted for maximum power and gasoline economy. Adjustment Usually Rich. Other conditions Wing constant, the mileage obtainable varies as the percentage of carbon dioxide la the exhaust gas and air-fuel ratio. This has been little realized by most garage men in the past. Usually the adjustment Is far too rich for maximum economy. There are, however, exceptions to this rule. A determination of the carbon dioxide content of the exhaust gas while the vehicle Is being operated on the road gives s.positive indication of toe carburetor adjustment. The results of the bureau of mines experiments she* that adjustable carburetors tend to become more richly adjusted with lapse of time, and that least every two months to maintain the most economical adjustments. The bureau suggests that one driver may be able to get considerable more mileage than another, due to the method of driving. The mileage Is greatly Increased by disengaging the clutch whenever possible and coasting. In approaching a heavy grade sufficient momentum should be obtained to carry the vehicle a considerable distance up the grade before making It necessary to change the gears. Weather has a marked effect on the mileage obtainable. In general, a motor runs better at higher humidity and temperatures. Rainy weather decreases the mileage on account of the slippery nuture of the .streets; so does snowy weather, v # Chicago . People Move Oftift.

Bamberg, Bavaria. -- Charlemagne tvould have a bad half hour it he could come to life long enough to see how canal-diggers are gashing up the eastern half of his old empire, to connect the waters of the Rhine and Danube, and make it possible for ocean-going ships to travel from the North sea to the Black sea by Inland waters. The Ithine-Maln-Danube canal, which was begun In 1921, contemplates a revolution in the transportation system of Europe, and indirectly of the entire world. Freight routes will be chan{red, snd cargoes loaded on ocean-going ships of not greater than 1,500 tons' capacity will be able to sail from Rotterdam to Galatz, at the mouth of the Danube, touching Cologne, Mayence, Frankfort, Nuremberg, Vienna, Budapest and Belgrade on their way to the Black sea. American cotton is promised a through trip from New Orleans to practically all the countries of central Europe which have no seaports, and new tourist routes are to be opened up for excursion steamers which will rival the lthlne trip In beauty and historic Interest and make It possible for visitors to eliminate the annoyance of frequent changes from steamer to trains. The new waterway will touch the territory of nine states: Holland, Germany, France, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Rumania. But it Is really more than a canal of continental Europe, as It will put all maritime powers in touch with central Europe, and afford a new entry to the Near East by way of the Black sea. If the canal attains the success its promoters prophesy It will drain much business through Rotterdam Into the heart 'of Europe which now goes past Gibraltar into the Mediterranean. Much business which now finds its way Into the Black sea through the Turkish straits Is also expected te enter the Black sea through the mouth of the Danube. Odessa, which lies only a short die* tance east of the Rumanian porjs at the Danube's mouth, is expected t* be greatly benefited by the waterway.
