How to Crank
a Motor-Boat

Many accidents on motorboats as
well az on automobiles are caused By
the cranking handle. Leslie Huxtable.
principal of the motorboat school OF
the West Side Young Mems Christian
association, says. Take the starting
handle off your engine IL your engine
has q -eranking- handle OF the variety
that sets in the rim of the hy- wheel
and is pulled out TO make handle
for starting the engine ii Is wise to
take II of entirely. Learn 10 crank
your engine BY gripping the rim of the
fiy-wheel with both hands It's a
simple trick. and when once learned
1t is as easy TO crank an engine that
way as TO use the cranking handle.
With the eranking handle there is al
ways danger of kick back and "A
broken wrist that win spoil the sum

most handles have knob that sticks
out about three-quarters of an incn.

An extraordinary scene occurred in
the cemetery at Zurawiea, Galieia. dur
ing the funeral recently Of a local land
owner. The priest had given his last
benedietion to the departed and The
coffin had been lowered into the grave.
and the family and friends were
throwing clods on 1t, Wher suddenly
hollow cries for help broke from the
grave. Most Of the mourners ran away
panie-stricken, while the priest and
sections got out the conn ana opened
the lid. To their amazement. they
found the supposed dead man alive. He
soon recovered and was able to walk
home unaided. He is now perfectly
well.
