Adjutant General Hall Says That Branch of the Serv ice Must Be Better Treated. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 3. 1917, Five hundred million dolars is a conservative estimate of the annual saving, according to experts, to the concern of automobiles (pleasure cars and trucks) effected by the Duntley Hydro-Pneumatic Gas Generator which has leen perfected by John W. Duntley of Chicago, 111. This device la beinsr olaced on the market at a nost opportune time. It will bring in enormous saving to the nation vithout realizing this vast sum is ac :umulating in the pockets of the users of pleasure cars and trucks. This gas lenerator enables the use of a fuel of ine-half kerosene and one-half gaso line at a cost of 14 cents per gallon. This ingenious device handles this low-grade fuel with perfect combus tion, eliminates carbon deposit; there s an absence of any gaseous odor or (moke or vapor. The motor operates on a superheated hydrogen and car-lon-monoz.de gas of unknown chem cal analysis. The mixture, however, s known beyond doubt to possess ery high heat units, which increases he power of the motor from 10 per lent to IS per cent, depending upon die condition of the motor. A "Little Giant" truck of two-ton tapacity, with gas generator attached, Is being exhibited at 2429 Farnam Jtrest by the Haarmann-Locke Motor lompany, distributors for Chicago Pneumatic Tool company, manufac Tirers of the Little Giant truck. Liberty Bonds to Be Given Away as. Prize in Contest So successful was the Maxwell deal ers' national gasoline economy test which was recently staged that a sim ilar stunt will be put on in which the contestants will be made up of Max well owners. The C. W. Francis Auto company received telegraphic information last week to the effect that a national gas oline economy test will be made by 20,000 Maxwell owners during the period from June 16 to 25. Fifty thousand dollars in Liberty bonds will be given away as prizes. Twenty-five thousand dollars in Lib erty bonds will go to Maxwell owners entering the contest and $25,000 in Liberty bonds will go to the dealers throughout the United States for con ducting the contests. All Maxwell owners have an equal chance to compete for the prizes, women included. The prizes in each community will be awarded to the driver getting the greatest mileage on gallon of gasoline. In the contest among dealers which was staged May 23 it is claimed that the average among 2,000 contestants was thirty miles to the gallon. Walter Andersen Opens , A New Electric Garage Announcement has just been made by Walter Andersen, well 'known- to the Omaha automobile trade, to the jffect that he will open a new elec- ;c service station at 2026 Farnam GLEN H. AROUSff Glen H. Gardner, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Gardner of Benson, will enter Annapolis Naval academy, June 14. He has been ordered to report at that time. Young Gardner is 20 years old. He is a graduate of the high- school of Benson, class of 1SI15. Jn hisv competitive examination for a place at Annapolis he finished very nearly at the top of the list. street under the name of the Walter Andersen Electric Car company. Andersen is particularly well fitted to this line of work, having been em ployed by the Electric Garage and the Drummond Motor company for several years as the electric car spe cialist. Andersen recently moved from the Blackstone garage at Thirty-eighth and Farnam to enter the new quarters at 2026 Farnam street War Demands Shorten Hudson Super-Six Supply "The government has just distribu ted orders for 50,000 motor cars of all descriptions," said Guy L. Smith, local Hudson agent. "This is just preliminary the first of the war or ders which shortly will demand prac tically all the cars of certain grades that can be manufactured. Fifty thousand motors are necessary for immediate organization uses. We can only conjecture what tremendous de mands will follow when the govern ment begins to mobilize the great army which will begin to take shape in a few weeks. - "If we need an example of how war strips' the motor market, we can find it in France, or any of the nations at war. France is now making five times as many cars as it did before the outbreak of the war, and only a few of these are available for private purchase." Temperaments Not Suited, So Judge Grants Divorce Judge Day, sitting in divorce court, in freeing Frank E. Johnson from Minnie Johnson, said he "found their temperaments were incompatible to such an extent as to make it impossi ble for, them to live together." Cruelty and desertion was the basis of the suit. Johnson alleged that she aban doned him four years ago. Lincoln, Neb., June 1. -The Ne braska National Guard and the Na tional Guard of a number of other state! aoon will cease to be a mili tary unit of the state. Even now it faces utter dissolution and ultimate absorption by the federal government. This is the opinion of Adjutant Gen eral Phil Hall, and he bases his rea soning upon the following difficulties now confronting the guard: Unusual requirements at short no tice bv the War department. Lack of inducement to enlist in the guard. - Failure of the government to fur- nisn equipment.-"" The low nay of the private. A certain listlessness toward the is sues ot the war. The prospect of a long period of inaction. And the War de'oartment's attitude of apparent hostility toward the guard as an emcienf tactor ot the lighting lorces ot tne United States. There are a number of other rea sons, according to General Hall, but these are .he most obvious. Recruiting Goes On. Notwithstanding his belief that the Nebraska National Guard will lose its identity as a military force; his belief that it will be unable to meet the re quirements of the War department. and that it will at last be drafted into federal service and be officered by regulars, General Hall is making a final effort to secure 900 recruits need ed to bring the two regiments, the Fourth and Fifth, to war strength tau men to tne company. General George H. Harries, head of the draft division of the State Council of Defense, has been peti tioned to use his office to arouse en thusiasm for enlistment. General Harries has appointed a member of the County Council for Defense in each county a special recruiting offi cer, supplied him with posters and with advice, and until the Nebraska guards are mobilized for intensive training about July 5 the campaign for moe men will go on unceas ingly, regardless of the application of the draft under the selective con scription law. Hard to Get Men. General Hall believes the reauire ment of 150 to each company, the number fixed by the War department, is unusually severe, tie (ecalled the effort necessary to bring the guard to the strength at first required 100 men to each company, furthermore, the adjutant general continued, "there is no compelling argument to induce men to enlist in the guard or, for that matter, as privates in the regular army. Certainly, if it could be brought home to the men of the country that this nation is menaced, that this war is nearer home than they can be made to believe, they would flock to the col ors. We have not yet been able to make them see this. The war seems a long way from home just now.

It hardly ever happens that a uni versity graduate gets to be principal of a nigh school before he even re ceives his diploma, but William Thompson of the University of Omaha and honor student of the class of 1917 is an exception.

They are plainly serious but there will be exemptions under the draft., "Young inen holding positions pay ing $100 to $150 a month hesitate to leave their work for service with the guard. Their positions will not al ways be waiting when the fighting is over. And there are a great many men drawing such salaries. The pay In' the guard, and in the regular army, is very small, comparatively." Needs Medical Men.

Paterson Sells When Car Climbs Steepest Hill "Speaking of hills," says Mr. Linch of the Nebraska Paterson Auto com pany, "there is a fair-aiied little hill over in our sister city, Council Bluffs. "We, being strangers in Council Bluffs, had not been over all the streets there and didn't know about Second street hill until someone said they would buy a Paterson if we could climb this hill in high gear. "There was just one thing to do and that was' to try it snd, not knowing the hill, we didn't know how steep it was. "However, we went right on over the top without shifting from high ear.

Clumsines,i is nothing but wasted force And true efficiency is never gained until all waste is eliminated. - To develop a motor that would make the utmost use of every particle . of gasoline, it became im perative to lessen the size of the cylinders employed and multiply the number of explosions. And the result? The powerful, economical Twin-six.' The smooth-runnmg might of this motor is due to its twelve fold division of fuel charges, merging multiplied impulses into a continuous torrent of power.'" In thirty-three months of des perate fighting for mastery of the air, European motor-makers have demonstrated beyond question that the twelve-cylinder engine is the most dependable and eco nomical of power plants.
