FAN ENON WoRsS THEN "BROKEN-UP" WATER WILL TAKE PLACE OF GAS Test of Discovery Heported to Have Shown Good Results--Ford is In- "If, as we have been creditably in- formed, the car of the future is to be propelled with "broken-up" wa- ter, there is little need to worry over the gasoline problem, says Motor West. Eastern newspapers tell us that One Louls Euricht, an inventor, has evolved a chemical which, when mix- ed with water, produces a eompound which acts perfectly in an internal explosion motor. They. even go so far as to assert that Henry Ford is willing to buy the Earicht formula in order, presumably, to pass it along free of charge to a gasoline-bereft world. Speed the day! If the chemical be what the in- ventor claims for it, and if Mr, Ford buys the secret and hands it to the world, we opine that he will confer 4 greater and more lasting benefit than followed tipon his attempt to get the European combatants out of the trenches, Little Fairy Tale The story of a recent test of the Enrieht gasoline substitute reads like a tale from the Arabian Nights. A pitcher of drinking water was drawn from a faucet in the inven- tor's barn, andl enriched with the greenish contents of a small vial, which he took from his pocket. The a EN ----.------ mixture was poured into the fuel tank of a small car--the tank hav- lug been previously drained of every drop of liquid. A couple of turns of the starting crank, and the engine raced fiercely with an open throtle, running even and true without missing an explo- sion. The testers climbed into the car, and drove it all around the Long Island village, which claims the in- ventor as one of its most estimable citizens, and which is due to become world-famous {f Enricht "makes good." Said to be Simple The inventor claims that his com- pound is susceptible of simple analy- sis, and fears that he will be com- peled to dispose of his discovery tor a4 comparatively small price. The in- gredients are so cheap and common, he says, that no one could possibly | hope to "corner" them. Mr. Ford says the Enricht process | is the breaking up of water ro that | the hydrogen may be released, tha idea not being a new one, and that his chemists have béen working along the same lines fr some time; but that Enricht has evidentiy "beaten them to it." He says the principle is right, and if the fucl proves to be what the inventor claims, he will buy, Meantime the gasoline makers do not seem to have been stampeded b, the news. Indeed, there are whispers of another cent or two being added to the price of the precious liquid. The world's largest stone statue, a figure of a patron saint that wil be 240 feet long, is being carved from a rock on the island of Japan, SALASBESLSS MMOS Have you seen the New UNIVERSAL MICHELIN Non-Skid Tire, Porritt Garage .

The points of the plugs burn away gradually, fand if not inspected and adjusted ! frequently misfiring will resul:. | As a genera] rule grease cups are | not given the intelligent care "hey | should receive. For instance, thuse {under the engine hood and in a fa .r- | ly warm place require gccasional fiil- {ing, as the heat keeps the grease fairly soft, and it is drawn into the | bearings by the rotation of the | shafts, The fumes from a storage battery | on charge are inflammable, and it is { by no means safe to bring a naked {flame near a cell that is "gassing" freely, Battery repair shops and charging stations usually are carefu. in this respect, knowing by practical experience that the gas can be igeic- | ed. Most self-starting systems have a fuse box installed at an accessible point The purchaser of a new car should acquaint himself with this as | quickly as possible. Very often zon- siderable trouble in the electri al system can be eliminated by the in- stallation of a new fuse. This is a simple matter, but if not known may cause a lot of trouble and unneccs- | sary expense, « Look first to your storage battery when your motor fails to start. The trouble may not be serious at al It has been shown that poorly chacg- ed batteries most frequently put tae | automobile at a standstill. Two | things are important in connection | with the battery and its charging. One is that fresh water must be | poured into the cells frequently about egch fifteen days is the pro- | { per time. The other is that the car must be kept in operation enough to keep the battery charged. The bat- tery charges when the car is going ten miles an hour or more. Con- sequently, when you drive in | city, with frequent stops, you use | Up current with the starter at each | stop, while the generator is not re- | filling the battery | CARE 'WILL PROLONG THE LIFE OF TIRES. Suggested for Auto Driv- ers and Owners. Tire care is an investment motorist. Makers exert every effort to give the motorist the ultimate of | resistance in his tire, . { the normal wear of the road the tire in most cases is also handicapped | by abuse on the part of the average | driver, who wastes his money for | want of simple precautions. Little effort is made to avoid running in | Tuts or street car tracks, yet there | are few things that wear out a tire quicker. Brakes are viciously -jam- { med on when in many cases their use ! could be avoided. Sudden starts are also detrimental to the tire. When | turns are being made, cars often are { allowed to grind against the curb- | stone, a kind of friction that takes | cash out of the owner's pocket, | Although most owners know that | wheels out of line drag and wear | the tire, wobbly wheels are frequent- | | ly permitted to continue [in this con- dition long. after the discovery, Cost-' ly tire damage results from running a machine after a puncture. Cuts and snags can be lessened by care in Sunday. Miss C. Jones and Miss Grace Wood spent Sunday at George Wood's. Gordon Wood left on Tues- day for Kingston, where he has se- cured a position Rev. J. FP. Ire- land preached his farewell sermon here yesterday. All are sorry to see hig leave. On Saturday evening a number gathered at W.

It is better i lo coast over the sharp stones than | to cause more traction by leaving | the gears engaged. When traction is lost, spinning rear wheels can wreak rapid damage to a tire. Sand, dirt and stones can readily be forced into a cut by the weight of the machine on the tire. These lumps will often spread apart the cover and fabric. Much of this trouble can be avoided by a frequent ! examination and the removal of all | foreign matter, Oi] and grease ab- sorbed from the floor of a garage or| working out on the tire via the dif- fential housing should be carefully cleansed off in order to avoid soften- ing and decay of the rubber. | punctures and cuts can he kept triv-| Do not miss this opportunity of securing rifice price.
