Leaky Radiator Stops Car.

1t may not seem possible that leak
In the radiator would kill a motor and
prevent further movement of the car
for more than an hour, but such was the
case of one of the Indiana Pacific tour
lists. The trouble, of course, was not
due primarily to the radiator leak, but
the magnetic being directly behind the
point of leakage, 1t was affected and
refused to give up any current. The
water coming from the puncture in the
radiator was blown back on to the
magnetic, due to the force of the wind,
with the result that the breaker
points were short-circuited continually
by the water. The driver examined
every part of the motor and never
dreamed of looking at the magnetic.
for the instrument never gave any
trouble, and being of good make was
not expected to die. A glance Mt the
radiator leak and another at the mag
neto near by concluded the search for
the faulty part. The leak was repaired
and the magnetic cleaned ard dried,
and the car continued on It's journey
to the coast.

comes to genuine excitement.
The trouble started when the baby
oriole flew from the nest of its par
ents in a big maple tree across the
street, to huge elm tree In the may
or's yard. Here proud Of it's first
fight alone, the little oriole perched
itself on a limb to rest.
A woodpecker, peeping out of its
nest in the elm, saw the intruder and
made an attack on the oriole. The
watchful parent orioles, just across the
street, saw the attack and fed to their
baby's rescue. Mrs. Woodpecker ar
rived on the scene, and the fight began
in earnest.
Feathers few, and the fighters gave
vent to birdland profanity. First the
woodpeckers would seem to have the
best of it, and then the orioles. When
the fight was at its height robin that
had it's nest in the elm tree with the
woodpeckers decided to take hand,
presumably as a peacemaker. The rob-
in would fight one bird and then anoth-
er. Once all five birds fell to the
ground, but were on the wing again
in an instant and the fight was re-
newed .
A crowd of probably rs people liv-

robin did not make any great Roadway
as a peacemaker and the mayor was
of the opinion that he just butted in
for a little excitement At any rate
the robin did not appear to have any
favorites in the melee.
The birds fought for more than half
an hour until they were almost ex-
hausted. Finally the orioles few back
to their maple tree and the woodpeck'
ers flew to limb In their own tree.
