TIP ON STARTING ENGINE

With great many carburetors when
adjusted for most efficient work on the
road, 1t. is impossible to start the engine
by cranking without opening the throttle
very considerably. When this is done
and the engine does start il roars and
races until the driver can rush back TO
the throttle control and reduce the open-
ing, This racing and noise is very dis
concerning to all who hear it. the driver
included. simple way to obviate it is
to turn the engine over brskly a few
times with the throttle open sufficiently
wide to ordinarily start the engine but
with the ignition "off - After doing this,
the engine will always start on the spark
If the ignition system permits it. In any
case, the throttle can then be closed suf-
ficiently for quiet idle running, the ig-
milton thrown into operation, and the en-
CINE then pulled over briskly. This will
result in a quiet start and is always eff

John n WHY'S. of the WHY'S Overland
Company. Motor cars are as near

brains and automatic machinery can
make them. They will never be made
any better because new wood will not
be grown, because the earth will never
yield up better ores, because cattle will
not produce better hides for upholster-
ing and because human brains and en-
ergy will never be at a higher develop
ment than now.

that could be greatly improved but the
honest cars at honest prices are as near
perfect as is possible to produce them.
Future buyers of motor cars who are
waiting for standard makes to be

ter invented by the Lord Chamberlain

ENGLISH DUPED,
SAYS DR.. BODE
Announces Supposed Rembrandt in
London National Gallery
Is a Copy.

London. July 14-Dr. Bode announces
that a supposed Rembrandt in the Ma
tiOnal Gallery in London is really a
copy. made by one OF Rembrandt's pu-
pile at the Leyden Studio, and that the
picture in the Kaiser Friedrich Museum
in Berlin. hitherto thought a copy, is
the original
The painting in question is a portrait
OF Rembrandrs father, painted during
the artists youth.
DR.. Bode is very positive in his decla-
ration that the National Gallery portrait
is merely n copy. The Berlin critics are
waiting to hear what the London experts
have to say.
DR.. Wilhelm Bode. director OF the
Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin. Is
an art expert whose authority was great
ly shaken in Germany by his statement
that a bust in the Berlin Art Gallery
was the work OF Leonardo da Vinci.
The bust in question was purchased in
London by DIR. Bode. and had been in
the possession of private family for
many years Dr. BODIES declaration re-
garding the authorship OF the bust was
received with considerable amusement in
this country, the best expert opinion
here being that the bust was the work
OF r. Cookie Lucas, who died in 1883.

EVA TANGUAY In
THRILLING SCENE
Cyclonic Comedienne Subdues Mad
Dog with Own Hands and
Hose.

New York. July 14.-Eva Tanguay has
leaped into the heroine class.
She did 1t with the aid OF a Boston
bull pup. her own two hands. and a
water hose.
1t is no safe thing these hot and hu-
mid days to grapple with a dog which
shows every symptom of hydrophobia
and bring the snarling. swapping ami
NAL back 10 a normally peaceful and
loving disposition.
Yet that is what the cyclonic come
dienne did yesterday morning at her
summer home at Beachhurst. Long
Island. This bull pup is Miss Tanguay's
particular pet and its welfare and COM
fort are matters of great concern in
the Tanguay menage.
The vaudeville star is spending her sum-
mer swimming. boating. playing tennis,
and doing road work TO be in condition
to earn that $500 per week for forty
weeks beginning around September l.
The bull pup is her companion upon
these energetic outings, or at least he
was until yesterday
Sunrise yesterday morning found Eva,
Joseph II. Schenck. and the dog doing
a brisk trot from Beechhurst TO Bayside
and back. 1t may have been noticed that

again some more hot. On the return jour-
ney the dog began to froth at the mouth,
snap, and exhibit other signs of distress.
He did not go wild. however. until they
reached the house. Then he rushed madly
about swapping at whoever and whatever
was in his path. The negro butler climbed
a tree and the chauffeur Skinned up
pillar of the porch.
Schenck grabbed a gun and an Indian
club. At this bellicose sight, Miss Tan
quay rushed between Schenck and the
dog and grabbed the later by the neck,
barely missing being bitten, as her hands
and wrists were covered with the froth
from his mouth.
She dragged the struggling animal into
the cellar and then. holding him firmly
by the scruff OF the neck with one hand,
she unlimbered the hose with the other
and turned the water on him.
1t took nearly an hour of this treat
ment before the dog became quiet. Miss
Tanguay was thoroughly exhausted by
this time herself and relieved herself
by indulging in a comforting fit of hys-
terics
Later in the day she brought the pup
in her motor car to the city and placed
him in a canine sanatorium. 1t will be
a life OF ease and no hard exercise or
excitement for the bull pup for the rest
of the summer.
