from which it is cooked. This cac-
tus pulp has much the same resili-
encv under the molars rs preserved
watermelon rind and tastes very
much like it.
The inventor of cactus syrup is
F. +. Wright. who is experimenting
with various native products on his
ranch near the city in addition to
his employment in one of the banks.
His ranch, on account Of the many
interesting experiments he has con-
Quoted, is known to his friends as
the desert laboratory" This
should not be confused with the
Carnegie Desert Botanical labora-
tory at Tucson, which has as its
purpose the study of desert yege-
tation.
The syrup and candy are manu-
featured by boiling down the pulp
with sugar. Like the watermelon,
the cactus has the faculty OF alb
sorbing into itself from the air and
earth a vast bulk of water. 1t is
often called "the spring of the
desert" 1t has saved the life CT
many a thirsting prospector and
other desert traveller.

CRIPPLED SKIS FALL
 BEFORE P|TTSF|fLD
Pitchers WNn Out, Substitutes
 Work OD the Rubber.

With crippled lineup In the field, New Britain's smooth road was roughened by Pittsield yesterday, the Bay Staters winning, 8 to 4.
 Inability to solve Troys delivery when hits were required is the answer to the figures. Only once did the locals get to Troy in earnest.
 Tom Toland started in to twirl for the Skis and weathered along until the fourth when the bases became clogged with Pittsfieldians. Then Tom threw up the sponge and Dug Smith slipped into the crevice. As Smith pitched a full game against Water bury Sunday, holding that crowd to five hits, he was in no condition to get back into harness and in tho seventh inning he had a wild streak, giving three passes and hitting bat ter. Five runs tallied in this frame. Dorey Miller assumed the contract of holding Zeller's crowd down and gave them nary a hit in the eighth or ninth.
 The game was taken in a joking sense by, the spectators because of New Britain's makeshift pitching staff. Eddie Bridges, the Methuselah of the league, also took it in fun and in tho ninth went to bat wearing his chest protector and shin pads.
 New Britain's single flash of bril- liance came in the sixth with the score 80 for Pittsfeld Tetreault and Jones singled and both scored on Moves two bag smash to left center. Miller fou1ed out to crazy Tom" Crooke, who threw to Raftis at third to prevent Moves from going down to that sack Raftis allowed the sphere tc get away and Moves beat it in from the midway.
 When Miller went into the box Hancock went to right field. In the ninth Zeimer 'pinched' for Hancock and singled, scoring Heath from third.
 The New Britain club is in bad way through having hospital list. Zeimer is prevented from playing in the field on account of injured fingers. Carey, whose work at second and at the bat Sunday evoked favorable com ment, will be laid up for week with charley horse." Pete" Wilson will be wearing a cane for some time as his left ankle has gone temporarily. To cap the climax, Minor. the new pitcher, has decided not to report for another week. Yes. Bill Scinski's 8 life is one rose bower after another.

New York. July 2S.---An inning in- laid with four hits and a sacrifice fly caused the defeat of the Giants yes- terday. The four hits and sacrifice fly were Pittsburg feats. and that's a good deal more progress than the Giants could make in injecting base hits into one rally.

 gets into the pipe line and partially clogs it. trouble will result. It may he. possible that the valve in the pipe line leading from the tank may be partly closed and not permitting enough gasoline to enter the line. If this is not the case, it would be ad- visable to take off the pipe line and clean it; also clean the carburetor. Tn such cases it is often necessary to take out the tank in order to re- move the dirt from it. Pieces of lint and other foreign matter will get into the tank while same is being filled with gasoline if great care is not talk en. Gasoline should be strained before 1t Is put into the car. Water in the gasoline will also cause the trouble This is heavier than gaSo- line and will not pass through the spray nozzle. As a result the water will prevent proper action in the car buretor. There is usually a drain cock at the bottom of the carburetor and this should be opened for few sec onds after the car has been standing for some time. Water is heavier than gasoline and will drain off first.

 The ends Of the axle shafts cam be heated and upset by any 'blacksmith. When this is done 1t Is an easyamat- ter to refit same to the squares. If tne dogs or ifanges at the wheel ends are considerably worn it is often ad- visa bIea to have these built up by the welding process and then ref1tted. In this manner the parts can be fitted tight and the expense of new parts avoided. Such repairs, if done prop erIv. are perfectly safe and reliable and will often last as long as the new parts. u,w,,. Motoring Department--At times m, nqA hr
