Steamer Naples Makes British Port in Safety By /.'rjtiuifl/frf Press , An Atlantic Port. Dec. 22. The British steamship City of Naples, re ported a few days ago to ha*e been sunk by a submarine off the British coast while under convoy of destroy ers, arrived here today. It was learn ed the vessel was not attacked by a U-boat but struck a mine and, her officers fearing she was seriously damaered, put back to a British port. There an examination of the hull proved the effect of the explosion as negligible and the ship resumed her voyage. An American vessel which was in the same convoy with the City ol Naples brought the story of the British ship's supported sinking. The accident occurred on December 5 when the fleet was five days out from port.

Chalmers Hot-Spot Makes Start in 17 Seconds Detroit,' Dec. 22.—A gas explosion in Ave Seconds: a perfect start in seventeen seconds; and standing ex posed over fifteen hours iri a tem perature that averaged eight degrees abcJve zero; is the brief summary of the latest cold weather-starting achievement of the remarkable Chal-1 mers hot-spot. Choosing one of the coldest Do-. cember nights in recent years when 1 overland trains were snowefl-in fori hours, ships were hurrieaned to shel ter and city traffic was demoralized; 'an ordinary live-passenger Chalmers was left standing at the curbing of! the Detroit Athletic Club, one of the ! coldest corners in the factory city.! At half past nine in the morning, j after the uncovered hood and radi ator had been licked all night by a stinging wind, the starting test was! begun under the supervision of J. j K. Schipper, technical representa- j tive of Motor Age, in the presence of j the following Automobile Editors of 1 New York newspapers; Allan,' Telegram; Doneker, Herald! King, i Times; Severn, Globe;. Rurkett, Tele- ' graph; and Art Winter, well known! motorist of Detroit. Before the observers, huddled and j shivcrTng in heavy winter coats, had I realized the test was fairly under | way, the engine had warmed up and]" within three and one-half minutes! from the time of first depressing the j starting lever, carburetion was per- j feet, that is, the car was accelerat ing as well as though it had been | running all day. Outside of the many features at- \ tached to the wonderful start, and | the equally sensational cold-weather ! acceleration, an added item of great! significance to the automobile owner | is the fact that the gasoline used was even inferior to the average low trade gasoline of the present day. The gas used had an end noint of 484 degrees—that is, 011 analysis by t lie Detroit Testing Laboratory showed it did not all evaporate until j It had obtained a temperature ofj 484 degrees. The end point adopted as standard by the city of Detroit is 450 degrees—Miat is !>4 degrees lower, so that the laboratory test showed the gasoline used was much poorer than average fuel and con-1 tained a heavy run of common ker- J osene. Though Schipper, chief observed, i testified that the car was carburat ing perfectly at the end of three and 1 one-half minutes, the motometer! gauge had not begun to rise and the water in the radiator had not warm ed to an appreciable degree, thus denying the engine customary | warmth. Despite this apparent handicap, the Chalmers hot-spot and Ramshorn, manifold were functioning properly and setting at defiance the rule of the ordinary engine which demands warmth before perfect carburetion Is possible. Thus again the Chalmers has es tablished itself as the greatest an swer to present day low-grade gas oline. For its notoriety lias been' derived, not only through its abil ity to start in weather far below the freezing point and to pick up speed in cold w.eather with remarkable alacrity, but just as important is its rare economy in developing excep tional pulling and climbing power from inferior gas, out of which can be extracted a considerable quantity kerosene. This latter feature ap peals strongly to the owner in the mildest climate who is nevertheless: seriously effected by poor fuel. During the latest hot-spot test, j which has attracted unusual interest, j thermometers were suspended at the ' radiator and hourly readings were! nccurately checked by two observers, 1 the average of which showed eight degrees for the period of the ex periment. Willys-Knight Makes Good As Path-Finder A Willys-Knight car, property of the Harper Overland Company, of Washington, D. .was chosen for the recent tiankhead path-finding trip from Washington to Atlanta, which was conducted under |he aus pices of the Bankhead Highway As sociation. Among the members of ■tUc party was Senator Bankhead. in writing of the trip, A. G. Batch cider, executive chairman of the American Automobile Association, stated: "The Knight car. contributed to the Bankhead path-linding party, j>ro\ed a most excellent vehicle and the operator, Alfred Hazel wood, drove it all the way through without the least bit of trouble and with ex cellent discretion.

Many former teachers, married and with families of children, have been in duced to re-enter the service, the State Board of Education said to day. "The State Board of Education," said Dr. J. George Beclit, secretary, "is making strenuous efforts to hold Pennsylvania's organization togeth er. Wtj. have been drawn upon heav ily for teachers—we have lost a great many. And we art trying to avoid the mistakes Great Britain made at the beginning of the war when It permitted .the utter demor alization of its educational organiza tion and was later compelled to re organize the system. Because of the many outside interests that must be propagated through the schools it is necessary that Pennsylvania maintain Its organization, despite certain readjustments that occur iij far times, and it is our aim 'o keep everything in operation even if at what might be called a lower >-ital lty." The enlistment of former teach ers throughout the state by the vari ous school districts is part of the plan of the department to keep up the efficiency of the system.
