The action of valves sometimes is
interfered with by a ring of hardened
oil which collects just above and be-
low the actual valve seating, and oc-
caSiOnally holds the valve off its seat
for an instant if the stem is a trifle
loose in the guide. The remedy by
scraping off the deposit is obvious. It
IS not safe to assume that because
there is nothing on the contact face
of the valve and seat that all is we'll;
there should be no deposit anywhere
near the valve. It not frequently hap
pens that the gummy stuff looks a
good deal like the rough iron, but a
touch with a scraper or screwdriver

I have a car equipped with a
electric starter. In starting my motor,
the starter does not turn the motor
over as rapidly as it used to when
first got the car. I thought possibly
that the battery was not fully charged,
but upon testing same, found it to be
in excellent shape, as the electrolyte
showed 1900 specific gravity. What do
you suggest2-M- VI. S.
It is well to remember that there
is a considerable current required to
crank an engine; some starting motors
drawing as much as 100 amperes- A
loose connection between the battery
and starting motor will materially af-
feet the amount of current which flows
thus reducing the pulling power of the
starter. Would suggest a careful ex-
aminatiOn of the wiring to make sure
that thero are no loose connections
nor short circuit.

resident of the sixth district or even

made until after he had received the

poll books of q town down in one of
the Carolinas showed that he had been
voting there for some time, and that
the democratic county chairman of
Wapello county was careful to see to
iIit that Mr.. Kirkpatrick did not vote
in Ottumwa last election day.

afternoon yarn, but 1t gave rise tc
