THE MUFFLER CUT-OUT.
So certain have many motor ear
drivers been that a moist atmosphere,
or the addition of water vapor to the
fuel mixture, has increased the power
output of their motor, that "vapor
izers" and "fuel-savers," designed to
add water vapor to the fuel charge,
have found a rather ready market.
"Practical" tests seemed so con
vincing that there appeared to be no
necessity for laboratory trials; hut
when the contest for the supremacy
of the air made exact knowledge of the
most minute details a necessity, the
Bureau of Standards set about the crit
ical examination of every device that
promised to give airplanes more power
with less weight.
The addition of water vapor to fuel
■ mixtures was found to have no power
whatever to increase motor output or
and

output of a motor.
It is a fact that Buick engineers
found to their surprise that a motor
on a block test gave more power with

IIEPORTED
FIRE
NEIGHBORHOOD OF FRENCH
HOMESTEAD
SERIOUS
An alarming report was brought to
Moscow this morning by telephone to
Mrs. F. Kelly to the effect that there
is a bad forest fire raging in the vi
cinity of the Princeton road at the top
-of the mountain and that the claim of
W. T. French was almost entirely sur
rounded by menacing flames.
French is a brother of Mrs. Kelly, and
she naturalfy felt great anxiety about
the fate of the numerous French fam
ily. M. E. Lewis reported that in a
recent trip through that part of the
woods, he had seen a fire at least ton j
miles long which looked vrvy >'•; '
as though it had been set at regular
intervals throughout its course.
As the Rawson sawmill is in the
neighborhood of the French timber
.Mr.
claim, a Star-Mirror reporter called
upon Mrs. Rawson to learn what she
had been told of the fire.
Mrs. Rawson stated that ner hus
band had gone up to the mill yester
day to investigate the fire, and that
she had heard nothing serious from
him with reference to it.
"I believe that the reports of the
gravity of the fire have been exag
gerated," said Mrs, Rawson. "Up to
this time at least it is not burning over
any good timber land. So far it is
burning some cut-over lands, where
the timber was not of any value, and
where every stick of saleable mater
ial had already been taken off the
land, it is burning on the place that
is known as the Hill Homestead and
the Tom Scott place. 1 do not be
lieve the French family can be in any
danger at the present time."
Mrs. Rawson said that the fire had
been burning for some days, but she
did not offer any theories as to how
it had been started. Another persons,
who lives in the region of Viola, de
clared that the fire was due to the
careless burning of shavings, but
proof of this statement could not be
obtained before The Star-Mirror went
to press. The extremely dangerous
practice of burning slashings has
recently been indulged in by some
farmers in the timbered regions, and
these fires when not closely watched
may have caused the present blaze on
the mountain.
LATER.—Just
as The Star-Mirror
is going to press, word comes from
Mr. Rawson at his mill that there is
no truth in the statement that the fire
has assumed alarming proportions. In
fact the fire is less extensive and less
fierce than it was yesterday at this
time. Unless a heavy wind comes up,
no doubt the fire will gradually die
down without doing harm of any kind.
UNIVERSITY CATALOG
EARNS HIGH PRAISE
BOOK GOTTEN OUT BY STAR-MIR
ROR PLANT RANKS AMONG TWO
REST IN UNITED STATES
The Star-Mirror recently received
a very handsome compliment on the
character of the job work which it
turns out from its print shop depart
ment. Upon the request of a univer
catalog efficiency expert residing
in the east, H. L. Axtell, chairman of
the university publications committee,
sent on a copy of the University of
Idaho catalog issued by The Star
Mirror this spring,
In commenting upon the character
of the catalog and Us merits as
pared with those of all other univer
sities in the entile country, the
pert stated that "both as to mechanic
al execution and as to arrant
the University of Idaho catalog
of the two best in the United States."
This high praise reflects credit upon
both Mr. Axtell who is responsible for
the arx-angement of the text and upon
John F. Yost, who as foreman of The
Star-Mirror print shop is

work on the catalog.
