Owners Should Know
What Is Wrong When
Motor Stops.
BY william IT. Stuart. Jr.

When riding behind the powerful engine
Of the automobile. few persons appreciate
the harmony of the infinite number OF
working parts which afford 10 them the
delightful pleasure OF annhilating speed
and distance. Here IS involved the skill OF
the chauffeur in affording the owner real
service.
To the casual observer Il seems an easy
matter 70 handle the powerful car. but
upon the operator rests the added respon-
sibility Of mechanical efficiency The day
IS past when owners OF cars accept any old
excuse. such as the muller being Short
circuited,' when their car is stalled.
Owners Of cars quite often know as
much about the car as the driver. and
therefore are in a position properly 10
judge unnecessary delays. These delays
without doubt. are often caused BY unre-
liable ignition. The carburetor system Will
rarely give trouble except in cases OF foul
or dirty gasoene.
To overcome a delay from this source
one needs only to drain of the carburetor
or clean out the pipe line. without neces-
sarily changing the carburetor adjustment

English taste calls for chassis differing
somewhat from American models.
Automobiles in England are owned. for
the most part. only by wealthy people
consequently the demand is chiefly for cars
that are far more luxurious than most OF
the moderate priced American types.
Other differences have also helped 20
keep out American automobiles For in

better and smoother and harder than the
American. Consequently. there is less need

There are undoubtedly many persons who
think that the electric wagon is not yet a

acknowledges that the early attempts,
some ten or twelve years ago. to supplant
horse-drawn wagons in various Industries
with electrics were. for the most part quite
unsuccessful. So deep-rOoted is a bad first

INVESTIGATION of the lumber trust b.

INVESTIGATION of the lumber trust by
a federal grand jury will, it is said, be
started within the next two or three
weeks. Every effort has been exerted
by the department OF justice to keep
the plans of the government secret.
Enough has been learned from other
sources, however. to afford substantial
basis for the assertion that the evidence
already collected is deemed sufficient
for presentation to a grand jury with
a view to criminal proceedings against
the corporations and individuals who
compose the combinations which are
generally designated as the lumber
trust. The great lumber interests OF
the. country have recently been brought
into additional public disfavor as
among the chief supporters OF Senator
Lorimer, through the activity IN behaii
of Lorimer OF Edward Hines, million
aire lumberman Of Chicago, who has
renresented the lumber interests gene

Politics in Cnba.

Havana, April 2O.--Hopeful OF be-
ing selected as compromise candidate
in the threatened political fight between
President Gomez and Vice-presldent
Zayas. General Carlos Garcia Velez,
the Cuban minister at Washington, Is
today listening TO the buzzins of
large size presidential bee.
There are indications that Presldenl
Gomez will not adhere to the compro-
mise programme adopted to 1908, when
Alfredo Zayas withdrew from the presl'
dental race and accepted second place
on the ticket in return for the promise
Of Gomez's support in 1912. Gomez s
friends are urging him to run for re-
election and his is said to favor the
idea.
If he does, split in the Liberal
party and resumption Of the old
warfare between the Gomez and Zaya
factions are certain. This would m
doubtedy result in the election Of a
conservative, to avoid which Nelez Is
being groomed as the only man cap
able of suiting both factions.
