Fitting Asbestos

In fitting new asbestos washers on
the intake manifold, it is well to cut
the inner hole slightly larger than
the bore of the outlet. This is to pre-
vent strands of asbestos. projecting
into the passage. Asbestos is of such
a nature that these. strands, when
pulled away by the exhaust leave 9TH
ers projecting, and so in a short time
the gas jet dissolves inside and is FL
nally blown out. The washer may be
strengthened against blowing out by
placing two wire. loops Of different
diameter on each side Of IT. They
should be of different diameter, so
that they will not 'cut' through the
asbestos.

Tightening Nuts.

Unless absolutely necessary, do not
tighten nuts by means of chisel and
a hammer. There are spanners which
may be used to reach inaccessible
nuts, and these should be utilized in
preference to the chisel which mutil-
ates the nut so that its removal is Of
ten impossible, save by the use Of the
chisel again. On the road it is ex-
ceedingly aggravating to encounter
such a nut in the course of a hurried
repair.

A touring cour may be warmed in

be fitted with storm curtains that can
be drawn sufficiently tight to exclude
most of the outside air. If this is the

NEW AND NOTES
 0F THE CAPITAL
HEAVY RAINS CAUSE LOSS AND INCONVENIENCE TO CITY OF
 LITTLE ROCK.
SEVERAL TOWNS ISOLATED
OoWnpour Was General-9.56 Inches Fell in 19 Hours-Gas Main
 Broken.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-The capital city last week had a taste of what a flood means to some cities and towns. A rainfall of 956 inches in Is hours caused the suspension of nearly all railroad traffic on account of washouts and overfloWs. The city of Little Rock depends chiefly on gas for fuel and this was cut off by a break in the main near Benton, Ark.
 It is at a point where the 16-inch pipe passes through Hurricane creek two or three miles north of Benton Ordinarily a small stream, the creek was swollen to depth of about Is feet
 While taking only a few hours to repair the break the problem was get ting to it as there were no trains able to leave the city for several hours.
 As a result of the break 1000 Little Rock homes were without fuel and ap- proximately 1000 men were thrown out of employment in the 40 factories where natural gas is used as fuel.
 Hotels and restaurants were hit hard when the gas supply failed. At practi- cally all of them, natural gas was used for cooking, and they were obliged to hastily secure gasoline stoves when the gas supply failed It was impos sible to cook much on these. and the menus were considerably curtailed
 A total of 23 roofs on dcwnto ow2 business buildings were inspected fol lowing the record doWnpour of rain In all cases the rain was found to have been driven through the metal joints in the roofing material, and in several cases slight damage result ed. That several downtown business houses have been weakened by water seeping through their foundations was also the opinion expressesd.
 The inability of the storm sewer system to carry off the great amount of water throughout the day was evi denced at the foot of every grade in the city Manholes spouting water like small geysers could be seen weighted down with heavy rocks to prevent possible accidents. One such artificial spouter at the foot of the hill at the Union station threw d column of water two feet in diameter to height of five feet.
 Little Rock alone was not the only one to suffer but the state in gen eral experienced heavy rains.
 Some towns and cities were com pletely isolated from the oustide world by the stopping of railroad traffic. Hot Springs only had one telegraph wire working for several days.
 At Benton 300 passengers were ma. rooned by washouts on the railroads.
 Following the rains came drop in temperature that caused the friut growers good deal of worry.

LOVeLOCk HAS MODEL FARMS
The Valley Looks Almost Like a Table
Land, IL 10 So Level

In the ounce Of the purchase
of a controlling interest in the First Ma
tioual bank of Lovelock, Nevada. by J.
e. Cosgriff of Salt Lake, president OF
the Continental National bank OF this
CITY. saws the Salt Lake Telegram, comes
news of prospective Developments in
one oil the richest valleys Of Nevada
that will please a good many Salt Lakers
who are interested in the Seven Troughs
and other mining districts tributary to
the valley and to Lovelock.
Mr.. Cosgrif has just returned from
Nevada, after adding the First National
of Lovelock to the list Of strong inter
mountain banks he controls.
81 have seen many beautiful farming
districts in both this country and Europe,
but | do not believe / have ever viewed
so delightful an agricultural section any
where as the valley Of farms RAINING
north and south from Lovelock. he
declares. "On the continent the farmers
have reduced the cultivating OF small
farms to a science, and their fields are
wonderful to look at. 1t seems to me
the farmers around Lovelock have in a
few years accomplished as much In the
matter of scientific farming as the Old
World farmers have in q century, aud
the weld from the valley land in the
silver State is enormous.
There is very little dry farming in
the valley, the soil being unusually rich,
and a peculiar feature Of the land is the
fact that the rich crop seems to go down
to an interminable depth. The theory
is that the valley soil was brought down
BIZ the great river that formerly flowed
between the two ranges OF mountains
and that it was deposited for so many
years that where ordinary valley land
runs into gravel after you get down
any where from five feet on. the farms
around Lovelock retain the crop soil at
a depth of Is aud 20 feet, and even deep
err. SO free is the ground from rocks
and stones that they use big ditcning
machines in the construction work on
their irrigating systems. There Is a
great deal of irrigating done, and in time
I believe the entire valley will be brought
under water.
''Alfalfa is the biggest crop of the val
lev, and so rich in nutritious element
is it that great droves of cattle and sheep
are driven into the valley each year
from surrounding portions of Nevada
and fed there. Very little Of the alfalfa
is shipped out. Sugar beet culture is
Just beginning to come into its own. and
/ understand a sugar factory deal is
pending for Lovelock.
1.-THE valley looks almost like a table
land, it is so level, and yet there is a
drop of about eight feet to the mile that
gives the farms splendii drainage. They
are raising wheat to a considerable ex-
tent now, and l believe the secret of the
rapid development of the valley Is the
breaking up of the large farms that is
. being carried on and the advancement
Of intensified farming.

WHY MARRIAGES ARE UNHAPPY

In an article entitled "a Girl and Her
Future" in the April Woman's Home
Companion, the author says:
Zone does not wonder 30 much that
there are many unhappy marriages, it
is amazing, rather. that there are not
more. considering how little most of us
know about marriage and how little we
prepare for il. Yet it is certain that II
in our schools and colleges-lf espec-
tally in our homes-girls were en-
couraged and trained to think and speak
frankly of the duties of wifehood and
motherhood that are likely to come to
them if il were admitted to be a mark
of upintelligence not TO prepare for
these duties. the rate of happy mar
risges would be likely to increase enor-
monsly.
''If / were asked for practical sug-
Restions l would say, begin at the be-
ginning. Learn how to do every kind
of practical work that is or eve will
be required in the average home. Learn
every part of a households manage
ment as an engineer learns to know
every part of his machine. You may
think it a trif1e to learn to dust carefully
and well, to know how to cook a tasty
meal, how to select meat and how TO
buy judiciously. to prepare tempting
invalid dishes, to nurse a child who is
i'll, or to entertain one who is GONZALES
cent. to make clothes, to write proper
notes, to judge between good and bad
in furniture, pictures and house furnish
ings. These things are all allied with
the success or failure of your future
life."
