The fight took place on May 30. 1892,

collect his winnings. which were to be
paid to him through Lumley. he took
only 500 Of 1t and then specified that
the balance should be sent to him at
regular Intervals IN sums OF 800 Zach AT

Providence boy provided himself with
sufficient money to carry him along. but

temptation OF uselessly spending large

SOME FINE FIGURING.

1t is almost a universal practice
among machinists to use cotton waste
to cleanse their hands of oil. The
practice is more or less expensive for
the reasons that the waste is not used
a second time, and that when it is
thrown away a certain amount of oil,
absorbed from the mems hands, goes
with it.
In plant of the size of that of the
Cadillac Motor Car Company, and en-
ploying some four thousand men the
cost of waste and oil so discarded
would amount to a considerable figure
in the course of a year. To avoid this
unnecessary expense, the Cadillac
Company two years ago instituted a
brilliant example of scientific man.
Iagement. 1t began to supply towels
instead Of waste to its employees, and
installed a small laundry plant to
cleanse them.
The installation Of these innovations
: iNN W Z" uIoNONGlS SUN more INTEREST
ing. This was the fact that the oil in
the towels could be redeemed-a fur.
Their operative economy, seemingly
small but well worth considering when
reckoned by a year instead of a day
As the Cadillac plant is now oper
ated with more than four thousand
employees, the laundry handles an ov
erage of $4,000 towels per month. The
bulk of these are from the machine
shops, but the total includes all the
towels used in the plant and offices
On the average sixty gallons of oil
are redeemed every month from the
machinists' towels, at no extra operat
ing expense in the laundry.
The device which extracts the oil
from the towels is simple, and inter
esting because of its simplicity. 1t is
similar to the high speed drying ma

to the carbureter This tendency 10
baQi-fire is more defined when the
motor is running with a retarded
spark, for then ignition takes place
later in the cycle and the combustion
will not be completed until a later
period.
Other causes of back-fring may be
traced to leaky intake valves, car
bon deposit in the cylinders, or poor
ignition. Oftentimes valve springs
become weak and the motor Will
back-tire when running at high rate

things to trace, as the valve appar-

Oftentimes fire caused by back
firing may be stopped before any
great damage is done by simply shut
ting off the gasoline supply from the
carbureter and opening the hood 70

of an automobile familiarizes himself
with the gasoline shut-off he can
often get to It and close it before a
fire gets much headwav But fire.
quently, as have been cases recently,
the operator has no idea where the
shut-off valve is. Owners and opera
tors of automobiles do not spend
enough time finding out these small
things, which are really so important
in vital moment, or which would
oftentimes save the owner a good
deal Of expense.
The care and operation should be
studied very closely by the owner Of
car even if he does not do the driv,
ing himself, as frequently the driver
is more or less of a machine and is
not equal to emergencies. All buy
ers of new cars are provided with
very valuable instruction books
which, if carefully looked into, will
help the operator in a great many
different ways, particularly in the
Oiling and care of a machine. As a
rule these books are looked at for a
few minutes then put away and never
looked at again, and the owner de
ponds on someone else to look after
, his car, who has much less interest

Automobile Chat OF Won
Hamm--YOung Company

The Won Hamm-Young Company
have been having big clearance sale
Of secondhand cars at remarkably
low prices this week and there have
been quite a few bargains taken out
of their big salesroom. The sale is
still on, and if anyone wants to buy
good car cheap, now is the time.
1t has been whispered around on
rather good authority that the Stod-
dard-Gayton Company will install
Silent knight motors in one Of their
models for 1912. The Stoddard, with
its usual advance, will go the other
manufacturers one better this year
by putting out car of this type with
six cylinders. The great feature Of
the Silent Knight is the abandonment
Of the poppet valve. In other words,
it has no valves at all to stick, leak or
grind. Instead of the valves it has
two sliding sleeves between the PTS
ton and the cylinder which operate
as cut-offs and close and open the IN.
take and exhaust ports. These
sleeves are operated by eccentric
rods which are driven by the can
shaft. The cam shaft is in turn
driven by a patent link chain, which
is just as positive as gears and much
more silent. The elimination of pop
pet valves and cam shaft gears makes
the engine very noiseless. This ma
chine bids fair to be a prize winner
amongst the 1912 cars.
