Interview With Expert Tile Man-No Change for 20
 Years

An old tire man who has followed the development of the automopl4e from it's inception, has the -fonoW4ng to say regaru4ng valV eS:
 Tt is a remarkable fact that the valve insides tooay are the same that were used twenty years ago on Di- about the only individual part of au- tomobiIe. constructor that has not been greatly improved.
 My observation is that a, great deal of tire trouble is due to leaky valves and this is particularly annoy ing because frequently the real cause is not discovered until after the snoe has been taken off. In any event, the only remedy is replacing the. valve inside, and this necesSItates pumping an empty tube. Furthermore, 1T the inside sticks, it is more than likely that the little prongs at -ne top will be twisted off so that the insicc can not be removed at all
 "Often, assuming that no difeiculty has heen experienced in taking out the inside, a new inside will not rem, edy the trouble. because the small external rub.er ~ashers thaS are Tot o1ite nne likely to be defective, although appar- ently in good Jndition. Furtnerlnofe. the inner metal shoulder in the outer fube against which this washer seats, may be blurred or worn, and the least defect will cause the washer to tear.
 s.Great care is needed in inserting the inside, because 1t must De screw ed tight to seat the washer, but IT screwed too tight it may tear the washer. I have put into the same tuhe two or three new -insides in soc- cession without stopping the leak, and the pumping involved produced ,,Iz as much perspiration as would resuls from an equal number of punctu es-
 T have also seen dPsg Pegsi5tsn5 ts1ssefves aTaas Tbesa valves are so infinitesimally small that it is impossible to tell oy inspection whether they are sdetectiv,e M e,s or not so that it is matter or luSFA Whether or not a new inside will rem edy the difficulty. The small size oi the initiating passage and the propor> fionaIIv large back pressure area re suit in the use of great deal more muscle in pumping than ought 10 Oe
 %on several occasions during the the past four years. I have had a Wno-s !. peyy valve put into an otherwise ser vicearie tube. This is more expen: sive than any other tube repair; ane f1,rthermore, if the repair is careless iT done, the tube is likely to be spoil .ed.''

Former Stratford Man
 Dies in Portland, Oregon
Samuel Scott, Yale Athlete and Teacher ,Mourned in
 the Far West

The following, taken from the Port land Oregonian, concerns a former resident of Stratford who will be re- membered by many:
 '-The Oreeonian takes melancholy pleasure in offering a tribute to the beloved memory of the late Samuel Scott, r>many years one of the teach CTS in the Lincoln High School He expired Sunday night, December 10, after a lingering illness which did not entire v deprive him of the ability to meet his classes until near the end but which saddened his life. Not an old man as years are numbered, still his infirmitieS made an impression of age upon his pupils and increased their wonder at his unfailing gentleness and patience. One of his pupils says Of Samuel Scott that he was the most patIent teacher I ever knew. When he had explained a problem in mathe- matics over and over again he would inquire of any student who seemed to 1t, my boy?" And if it was not un- derstood he would go back to the be- ginning with tireless kindness and go through the whole once more No wonder his pupils loved him. Sam uel Scott was one of those rare teach CTS who win the attention of their students without sacrificing the Eigor of their instruction. Some of the youths of the High School speak ot him as their intel actual father He combined a deep gravity of demeanor with a paternal gentleness witch could not fail to find its way to the hearts of ingenious boys. In his young days Samuel Scott was an ath- lete. In fact, it was as a baseball coach that he first visited the coast. At Yale, where he graduated he was a famous footbal man and played fl st base on the baseball team. No doubt the taste for manly games which this evinces aided him in holofng the af- fectionate respect of his pupils. Manly boys are fond of a manly teacher. Samuel Scott will be missed at the Lincoln school. The students who have profited by his kindly instruction will drop a tear to think that they will see him no more in the old class room and never again on earth hear the patient tones of his dear voice ] The good teacher has taught his last lesson. The good man has gone to his reward. His pupils will best prove their loving fealty to his memory by emu aHng his virtues in their own lives.''

NEW ENGLISH VERSION
 OF HEBREW BIBLE


 For three years a committee Of Jewish scholars has been at work on a new English versie of the Hebrew Bib4e for people of the Jewish faith that will be correct rom their reiig- ious point of view. The hope is that in the end a standard Bible for the synagogues will be established. Since the Jewish church does not dis criminate as to which Bible shall be used, it has been the aim of the com mittee to improve on Isaac Leeser's was first issued half century ago in England. Since then Biblical knowl- edge has been increased to a great extent Then again, LeeSer's work
 was the accomplishment of one man and, therefore, not representative, so says Dr. Cyrus Adler, chairman of the
 has beeen chooen from both the re-
 form and orthodox elements of the
 Jewish faith.
 When the matter of putting out a
 new and more correct version of the
 Hebrew. Bible was taken up seriously a few years ago the Central Confer
 ence of American Rabbis united with
 the Jewish Publishing Society of Am
 erica. Each appointed three men
 who were to form the board of edi-
 tors. The men selected by the lat
 ter, president of the Jewish Theologi-
 cal Seminary of America, Dr. Joseph Jacobs, professor of English in the
 same institution, and Dr. Cyrus Ad- Ter. who is president of the Dropsie
 College in Philadelphia. These men
 are conservatives: Those who repre-
 sent the reformed wing were appoint
 ed by~the Central Confereence of
 American Rabbis and are Dr: Kauf- mann Kohler, president of the He- brew Union College of Cincinnati; {; Rev. Dr. Samuel -Schulman of New York and Rev. Dr. David Philipson, also of the Hebrew Union Col; ege. Professor Max L. MargoIis of Drop sic College was chosen editor in chief and secretary to the board of editors Tn the new version the old Hebrew text will be closely followed At one of the annual fortnightIy meetin gs that the committee has been holding in New York at the Jewish Theoio gicaI Seminary, pr. Adler said that T1 izabethan English will be em- ployed where the language is not ob- soIete. The work will be in twenty four volumes That the version may be in harmony with the historical Jewish Interpretations, the main Jewish commentaries and the text it. self are being consulted. So far tho committee has sifted the first of the three divisions of the Old Testament, the Law, the Prophets, and the Holy Writings. Work on thu Psalms is now going on, and it is expected that | the tremendous work will be com i pleted in about two more years.
 ! The Jewish Publishing Society of
 America will bring out the publica- 1 ton when it is completed.

TREATY TO PREVENT
 DRY NIAGARA

The United States and Canada have negotiated a treaty winch controls the diversion of water from the Niagara River and preserves the scenic gran oeur of Niagara Falls for all time. The treaty goes into full effect auto mAtically in March. upon the exp. Ira ton or the law which now limits some of it's provisions.
 ne international agreement was made in response to a general demand that the question of water diversion be settled once and for all in accord. ance with expert opinion. The treaty makers had exhaustive tests conduct ed by hydraulic engineers, and it was determined that diversions should not exceed 36,000 cubic feet a second on the Canadian side and 2O,UOO cubic feet a second on the American side, out of a total flow of 24o,oO0 cubic feet a second.
 The use of this quantity of water for power purposes. the engineers found would not affect the appearance of the Falls sufficiently for the eye to detect. Since only about half the quantity permitted by the treaty is now diverted. twice the present horse power can be produced without en- dangering the scenic beauty of the cataract.
