Making a Gasoline Gauge.

\ very efficient and cheap form of
gasoline gauge can be fashioned from
a sufficient length of ground glass
rod. which should be fairly stout. Run
your car on to IA level place. empty
your tank and then measure the fuel
back therein gallon by gallon. After
the introduction of each gallon sound the
tank with the ground glass rod and the
height of the gasoline therein will be
plainly visible on the rod. Mark the
height of each successive gallon on
the rot, with the edge of a sharp
tile and the rod being kept in leather
clip handy to the tank, you will have
ready means of determining how
much fuel there remains in the tank
at any time.

HELPFUL HINTS.

Il Is important that the crank
case be cleaned frequently. When
the oil is used over and over in
time II loses its iubricating quail
ties. There il more or less sedi-
ment bound to accumulate I'm the
bottom Of the crank case, and this
should be removed. otherwise the
oil win form q gum on various
friction surfaces, such as the
valve guides, etc. When this takes
place the valves are apt to stick
occasionally. causing irregular fir-
ing. 1t is advisable to change the
oil and clean out the crank case
approximately every 1.500 miles.
A few drops of water in the
gasoline will cause considerable
annoyance. At the bottom Of the
float chamber Of the carburetor
there Is usually drain cock.
When q car has been standing
for some time 1t 10 advisable TO
open this drain. SO that any sedi-
ment or water in the bottom OF
the float chamber Will be removed.
otherwise It Is apt to work up
luAO lllC Sptay tOASsS 0atA SaO0 49,
A small piece Of lint or a few drops
Of water will cause the motor to
miss flre very badly.
The connection on dry cells
should always be kept tight. Any
one connection in a series which
happens to be loose will cause
difiicult starting. The vibration of
the car Is very apt to loosen these,
and g frequent inspection will Oft
times save q lot of work in crank
ing q motor.
Care should be taken to keep the
batteries free from contact with
any metal. Careless placing OF the
tools will cause short circuits. The
batteries should be installed in a
dry place and held in a firm posi-
ton. It is advisable to cover them
with an insulatoF, such as sheet
Of fiber and padding, to prevent
chafing.
II one has the room it is a good
plan to carry quantity Of lubri-
eating oil when touring. Most
every garage carries in stock a
different make Of oil. To mix
these various grades is not ad-
viSable. A can OF lubricaung oil
does not take up much room and
will oftentimes save considerable
delay on account of motor trou-
bles. Usually q standard grade of
oil can be obtained at the larger
garages. In smaller places, how
ever, it is difficult to obtain a
choice Of brands.
Among the neceSSaries when
touring should be supply OF tire
valves and caps. A slight leak in
a valve will cause as much de-
lay as a blowout. A good valve
Is often hard to obtain when on the
road. and considerable annoyance
can be avoided by carrying these
accessories. A valve tap and di,
should also be added.

Cause Of Broken Arms.

Never crank your engine without first
ascertaining that the switch plug is In
its proper place. that the clutch is dis
engaged and that the gear shift levers
are in neutral and that the spark Is not
advanced too far. Too many accidents
are directly traceable to some one OF
these TO say nothing of hundreds of
broken arms each year.

give any car, regardless OF price, a

gasoline tank, which should be filled
with gasoline that has been strained
through chamois skin. 1t is advisable
IN clean out the strainer in the gasoline
nine which leads from the tank to the
carburetor as any sediment or water
which has collected there would be very
likely to affect the flow of the gasoline
to the carburetor.

THE SURVEY DEPENDED.

Editor Graphic:
 Having read Father Lucey's very interesting letter in Thursday morn ing's Graphic, 1 find myself com- pelled, greatly to my regret, to take issue with him in print as I have all ready done orally before the initial meeting of the Civic Progress Com mlttee. Not as. regards the program which he outlines as the working basis of the above-named organiza- tion. For in that respect l agree with him perfectly, as far as he goes. But I regret to see that so clear headed a man as Father Lucey still Clings to an entirely erroneous view of the purpose of the City Beautiful Club in deciding to have survey of Pine Bluff made by an expert of the Bureau of Municipal Research. Noth- ing is further from the present in- tentiOn of the c. B. Club than "tO spend money beautifying the city, and instead of saying, as Father Lucey does, that the City Beautiful Club and the Civic Progress Associa- tion are working on entirely differ ent lines which do not concide at any pcint," it would be more accurate to state that the little conference ad- dressed by Miss Laser, at the invita- tion of the City Beautiful Club, was the direct precursor of the conference called by Father Lucey; and that the present object of both organiza- ti0ns conincide perfectly as far as Father Luceys idea extends, the pur- pose of the City Beautiful Club being the mor ambitious of the two.
 Father Lucey deserves much credit for having succeeded in bringing to- gether the Conference of last Monday night, and it does not lessen his credit to say that he was evidently unaware that his move had been an- ticipated by the City Beautiful Club After making several brave but more or less frutile efforts to improve the physical aspects of the city with the funds at their command, the ladies were convinced that their purpose

would be frustrated as long as the city itself was in the deplorable fin ancial condition in which it finds itself todya. It was to remedy just this very situation that a civic sur vey was decided upon. Many other cities throughout the country, hay ing found themselves in situation similar to ours, have called upon the Bureau of Municipal Research and have by expert treatment and advice been put on the high road to prOs- perity. Both Father Lucey and the ladies believe that there is a remedy and that we must seek it out. Both sides believe that the patient has bad case of financial anemia which, how ever, is not incurable. Father Lucey wants the family to hold consulta- ton and to devise a remedy; the ladies want to send for famous phy- sician who has wonderful record of cures i'll similar cases. After the doctor has made his diagnosis and prescribed the remedies, the family must still look after the patient and carry out the doctors instructions. That is the whole thing in nut shell. But some people have not yet discovered that there is a new profession of City Doctor. The ladies of the City Beautiful Club have heard of him and of his remark able record of cures, and they are going to send for him without vast ing too much precious time in family consultations.
 In conclusion let me quote again some of the things which the Graphic recently quoted from a letter which I had received from Dr. Henry Bruere, Director of the Bureau of Municipal Research:
 Such a survey would prove immi- nently practical and would include in addition to an analysis of the city 8 study of the organization, records and methods of the various depart ments, such as police, fire, public works, water construction, mainten- ance of streets, street cleaning, sewer public buildings parks and health.
 In each of these fields scores of tests would be made for increasing the efficiency of operation and cut ting down expenditures by elimina- tion of waste, if in existence. The value of such a survey for in- creasing efficiency in administration is manifest. Everywhere we find that officials welcome suggestions for im- provement when important facts arc | presented to them, showing that pres
 ent methods are wasteful of public funds and violate common business principles.
 We are, of course convinced that
 no constructive civic work can bp done except on the basis of an eff ficient city government. We also be-
 lieve that every city government that
 has not been brought up to the stand ards in vogue in one department or another elsewhere, is capable of great ly increasing service at present ex-
 penditure, or many have it's expendi- lures considerably reduced through | the elimination of waste.
 l I hope that these hastily-written
 lines will do something in the way of
 vindicating the eminently practical
 and well-advised decision of the ladies
 to have an expert municipal survey in
 Pine Bluff.
