In the first place, q hSited match

Ing machine. You light the match OF
candle and apply 1t to the wheels and
coss. All the lint and threads that
have caught there and wrapped around
them will burn and the char that re-
suits can easily be wiped of with q
clean cloth. You will be simply
amazed at the difference this will
make In the running Of your machine.
Then, too, another cause Of q bad
running machine is that the oil In q

new one. or ever easier than q new
one.
Only you must not forget one
thing. Gasoline is not, q lubricant. SO
after washing out the gummed parts
and cleaning them thoroughly. you
must oil the machine with a good lu.

things whenever your machine begins

Football Not a plnakln.

That phrase 30 much used in the

involves a popular error. The foot.
ball is not made of pigskin, but Of the
hide of the calf or COW, and, for the
cheaper variety, the skin of .he sheep.

made In this country, but some OF the

Chemical Rain

1t has long been known that tho
dirty rain Of every smoky region Is a
disastrous thing for vegetation. It
now appears probable-or at least
possible-that but slightly poisonous
rains, such as occur over an ordinarily
smoky city, may seriously injure fruits
and flowers. J. w. Harshberger, Of
the University Of Pennsylvania, sug-
gests that the spots on leaves and
fruit caused by the acidity of rain
drops may serve as the points of
entry Of parasitic fungi. He says, "a

the effect that Villa and Carbajal arg negotiating direct.
 One plan reported to be under con sideration is to allow Carbajal to re- main as provisional president pending the election of a man favorable to Villa.
 It is believed that the United States is favorable to the Villa faction rather than the Carranza faction of the Con- st.tutionalist party. This is indicated by the fact that George c. Carothers, the special representative of the ad- n,inistration, has been with Villa the greater part of the time and there has until recently been no accredited rep resentative with Carranza.
 Continues Ammunition Smuggling.
 Everything indicates that Villa is His ammunition smuggling continues nightly and he is trying to have Roque Gomez and his 300 filibusterers join his army.
 Further evidence of Villas indepen- oent attitude is the official statement that he is preparing to issue $i0,000,- GOO worth of fiat money at Chihuahua. Part of it is to be used to purchase ammunition, rifles and artillery for his army.
 This adds another significant detail to the evidence that Villa is preparing td9defy CarranZa.
 Fcderals Attack Rebels.

A terrific battle was waged for several hours and Murgia was forced to re- treat to the mountains, leaving 200 dead. The Federal losses were heavy.
 It is believed that the "Colorados' or Federals were commanded by Gen eral Pascual Orozco,. who evacuated san Luis PotOsi some weeks ago. General Villa sent telegram to Murgia informing him that he dis patched re-enforcements to the scene and for him to refrain from fighting until they arrive.

PRIVATE COLLECTORS
 ARE UNDER THE BAN
Dr. Reeks Warns Them Against Con- tinuing Their Routes Under
 Penalty of Prosecution.


 r New Britain has seen it's last pri- vate garbage collector under the Quig- ley administration. On and after to- day all garbage will be collected by men in the direct employ of Henry Furman, who has contract with the city to collect the garbage.
 If any unauthorized person attempts to collect garbage and is detected he will be arrested and brought before the police court. Those who have authority to make collections will be equipped with badges and none but employees of Furman will wear them.
 The board of health gave private collectors three months of grace in which to make other accommo odations for feeding their swine and believes that that period of time was long enough. Dr. T. E. Reeks, superin- tendent of health, notified the pri- vate collectors today that they must discontinue their routes and he warned them that they would be pros ecuted if found to be disobeying his orders.

10 Ships To Carry ReserVBtS From
 America to Europe.

 re on the move toward New York
 Expecting to be embarked here and transported to the scene of action The consul-generals are wondering what they are going to do with them when they arrive here.
 This problem was discussed yester-
 lay by Dr. Fischerauer of the Aus rian consulate and by Paul Pavlo-
 itch of the Servian consulate. MT. Pavlovitch said that this was one of he reasons why thousands of Serbs Eho desire to go to the old country
 ave been told to await develop nents. During the Balkan war sev- ral hundred of them arrived in this ity, but there was no way of get ing them back. and being without unds they spent a miserable week
 ntil arrangements could be made for hem They will be told this time not come until the way is cleared for heir transportation.
 Mediterranean May Be Closed.
 We can't say how we will get the .eservists back said Dr. Fischerauer. The German vessels are held up now | nd even if they were not and France |hould become involved, what would the result? The Mediterranean Eould be closed immediately. It would longer be safe place for us. And England became involved Germany |fould be mewed up by the British eet There is a small fleet of Ger han warships in the West Indies and has been suggested that they night convoy merchantmen filled Iith German and Austrian reserves, ut it would be forlorn hope. With England in the fray they would nev- r reach the other side.
 "In few days we expect reservists b arrive here from all parts of the .ountry in response to the call to the .olors. From the way things look now hey will have to stay in New York. We can house a lot of them at the !ustrian and the Hungarian homes pr a time and then if a general war .nsues we will have 'to send them ack to their home cities. The prob |bility is that if England and France $ecome involved in this war our re- .ervists in America will be of no use b us."
 Thinks Austrian Cause Just.
 Dr. F'ischerauer said that he and ther Austrians here are much ag hieyed at some sof the editorial scom-2 lents in the newspapers. He de- Jared that Austria has been contin- ally misrepresented in the citation i the historical facts that lie behind he present crisis.
 ..There never wasNa war more just e said. "The American people would ave declared war ten years ago in he same circumstances.
