are constantly being tried with auto

Brown Of Martelle, Iowa, town 20
miles from Davenport, to substitute
milk can for a radiator after his Velie
car had been partially wrecked by a
switch engine. His car was struck by
2 Milwaukee switch engine as Mr..
Brown was driving across the tracks
in his home town after a long freight
train had passed. The radiator was
torn completely away, both lamps
were destroyed and the hood was so
badly wrecked that il was discarded.
Careful examination revealed that the
motor had not been damaged. The
motor would run, but there was no
place TO store water for cooling pur-
poses. Mr.. Brown was not long in de
batting the subject. He secured a
large milk can, and after filling it with
water placed it on the right step, wir-
ing it securely. With the aid of two
pieces of garden hose he completed
his --latest invention" One piece of
hose was attached TO the intake pipe
and run to the milk can, and the other
one was fastened TO the exhaust and
extended TO the milk can. After pack
Ing his suit case he set out for this
city and arrived without further mis-

Ger, was forced to admit that it was
new one on him. The car is now in

GRAVE CRISIS IN GREECE;
DRAGOUM|S CABINET OUT
Rumor of Severance of DipIo-
matte Relations With
Turkey.

ATHENS. October 12-The Greek cabi-
net. Of which NJ. Dragoumis is premier
resigned today.
The ministry was formed January 81
last. The resignation was due both to
the complications with Turkey and to in
ternal dissensions.
Owing to the reluctance Of other polit-
ical leaders to take control, it is possible
that King George will ask Premier Drag
oumis to form another non-partisan cabi-
net. 1t is also possible that NJ Gryparis,
Greek minister at Constantinople, will
succeed NJ. Dragoumis.
Gryparis was recently recalled for con-
sultation with the government This fact
gave rise to the rumor that diplomatic re-
lations between Greece and Turkey had
been broken off.
Premier DragOumis has been attacked
bitterly on the ground that he had failed
to support the dignity of the country
against Turkish aggression.
In a recent speech the premier said that
Greece never before since the accession of
King George had been in a position of
such incredible danger from causes both
external and internal.
