" Inventor Olaims to Run Motor Oar on Crude Oil : solution of the problem of how to drive an automobile on crude oil, line, is claimed by a Swedish inven- tor, Nils Anderson, who has perfeot- ed an engine attachment for this purpose after several years of ex- perimenting. Anderson's device can readily be installed on any ordinary and at gne-third of the vost of paso- wh ¢rude oll, kerosene, wood alcohol, or gasoline. The crux of the prublem; says the inventor, was the fact that crude ofl cannot be completely vaporized, and motor and makes it possible to use, without 'special treatment the resi- due would clog the engine. He solves this by exposing the oil to in- tense hegt, which sheiters such in- gredients as caunot be turned int. gas. They remain in the form .of a combustible tiuld and are consumed during the explosion in the cylinder.

The crude oil attachment consists of wa super-heater, a special car- buretor and exhaust pipe, together with the necessary connecting rods for afanipulation. Among the advantages claimed are a small quantity of oil consum- #d per mile, less lubrication, no overheating of the engine, and a re- duction of about 70 per cent. from the coast of running @ car on gasd- line, t Auto Horns Drive Monks To Secluded Mountain Top The whirl of modern life, exem- plified by automobile horns, radio, telephones and electric lights, is get- ting too much for the Trappist monks of Banz. Despairing of -se- clusion in their present monastery near Bamberg, they will soon with- draw to remote part of the Bavar- ian mountains, Several sites are under considersa- tion, one of them a mountain top where once stood a baronial castle. Here It is felt that the penitential and esllent days of the Trappist brothers could be passed without disturbance. : mon Shorten Life, 3 Continued clutching at the steer- ing wheel is said to be changing the Mnes on the palms of automobil- ists' hands.

In response to a suggestion offer- ed by M. M. Lucius, secretary of the Automobile Club of Maryland, the Police Department of Baltimore is trying out the feasability of having tionigor the use of those vehicles in- tended a left-hand turn. The plan already has been' plac in operation, the police are watch ing the experiment. ° » How Scheme Works. The idea Is to mark a pathway along the left-centre of the street for several hundred feet before an intersection is encountered. Those drivers who contemplate turning to the left at the corner may drive their cars along this lane, allow ing through traffic or those turning to the right to keep to the right without being hindered. When the trafic officer turns his "go" signal the two Hnes will be se- gregated and the procession going straight ahead and to the right may move unimpeded by the line turn- ing to the left. The latter, too, will be able to move In perfect order without intertefence. from the other lines. ' It is Mr. Lucius' idea that it fic rules for a person to enter the ns ££ Lane at Street Intersections | a left-centre lane at street intersec-| sbould be made a violation of traf- |S lane unless he makes the left turn. In the case of a motorist staying to the right of the lane, no penalf) should be attached other than that he be compelled to go ahead or to turn to the right, Batteries Callec For | and Delivered We give special attention to Dry and Wet Storage.
