JACKMAN', Me., July -4. Booze IS
flowing through Maine like water
through a fire-hose.
And. of course. It's Canada's faun
because Canada grew so near u
Maine.
Maine is eclebratinf Its one hun

bration seems likely tj continue for u
long time unless the hootch m i -1 I in
Canada gives out
Maine prospers. Tourists are thick
.as ants. They're eating the f oou
grown on the farms and washing it
down with Canadian hootch supplied
by the natives What could he more:

street Jackman was enjoying itself at
the weekly dance. All was quiet ana

woods,

I ZULU CHIEFS GREET
RETIRING SOUTH AFRICAN
DURBAN. South Africa, July 21.
The chief of the Zulu nation, his ring
ed headmen and many minor chiefs,
recently assemble d in the court house
I at Marltzburg and delivered speeches
of affection and esteem for Lrd Sld-j
ney Charlc3 Buxton, retiring governor-
j general of South Africa. and Lady
Buxton, who nccompanled him on the
farewell visit. There was an enthusi
astic demonstration.
The court house was packed with
the courtly, dignified Zulus, some of
them in frock couts and wearing med
als received for bravery In the war,
but others, also wearing medals won
On European battlefields, were clad in
only the primitive Zulu fashion.
Chief Manzolwandhli, son of Tete
wayo. as a chief of the Royal Zulu
Mood voiced his thanks for "the bene
flclcnt British rule." Then Chief Mini
spoke. He said
"The Zulus gave assistance In the
great war and If assistance Is needed
"Must be a meeting some place," I

"Yeh. ' said Hie clerk. "Meeting at

The procession kept up. One
would have thought thai someone hao
conceived the Idea of having ull the

House There was every Imaginable
make, size and variety. Counting r.s
best I could I totalled 541 cara In
three hours. In the meantime, the
dance over, all the male residents or
Jackman apparently disappeared, fol
lowing much whispering, much talk

cranking of autos.
And then about midnight the cars
hegan to whizz past, going the other
direction. Only now came from them
the sounds of much merriment, mucn
laughter and most of them were driv

Zulus Tor their excellent behavior dur

"bayete" salute rang out, anthem-like,
in a final farewell.

SHIFTING IS
iEEEO
Some Auto Drivers Don't Know
Reasons for Machines
Having Shifts
Has it e'er occurred to you that
the reason there are three different
speeds In the car Is that they were
built there for use In climbing hills?
Many of us do not think so, and when
we have to shift gears to get over a
steep hill, we begin to curse. Gear
shifting should be Ihe simplest thing
fibout driving, but main operators
have an awful lime with It.
The modern automobile Is made to
Climb almost anything hut trees But
1 wish to demonstrate that to climb
D steep hill on the high gear Im
poses the hardest kind of work, not
only on the engine, but also on every
other part of the car, says G Bern

company The low geur ratios are pro
vided for hill climbing and the should
be used for It
HIM. (LIMBING
' It mn he well here to consider
a little mom carefully the amount of
work performed by .in automobile

ratio ot three to one A ratio of three
to one means thut one revolution of
tne gear wheels is produced by three
revolutions of the engine shaft. With
ihe lower gear ratio, the Intermediate
und the low, the number of engine
involutions becomes still greater as
compared with the number of road
wheel revolutions

If such :i car should proceed at the
rate of thirty miles per hour, approx

With Low Grade Gasoline on
Sale, Motorists Should
Pay Attention
An editorial in the July Issue of the
Automobile Trade Journal brings to
mind some facts which our present
gasoline shortage, with the advances
In price, emphasize more fully, al
though these facts have been known
to us for some little time:
"It Is a well known fact that the
supply of gasoline Is not keeping pace
with the demand, and that we are
drawing more and more heavlK upon
our reserve stocks. We should, there
fore, adopt at once every possible
means: To conserve the present sup
plj and make it last as long as pos
sible, to refine gasoline from the shale
deposits of tho west, and from every
other available source, to develop the
processes of distilling alcohol to the
point where it can be produced in tre
mendous quantities and at a price to
compare with that of gasoline and to
develop engine and carburetor design
with a view 10 running on cracked
gasoline, alcohol or any other fuel
which gives Promise of abundant sup
ply at a reasonable price "
WnllK ON PROBLEM.

working along these lines, but the

FUEL ECONOMY.
Fuel economy Is going to be a more

car design. F.ven today It Is possible
to double the mileage per gallon of
fuel of many cars merely by a change
of carburetors. But the carburetora
which give the best results are seldom
used as standard equipment on ac
count of their cost. The Insurance
