Automobile Troubles Made Plain.

bestolithe packing This type Of packing is very good for such joints. White lead is good to use on the re- taining screws, and would also sug- gest that you wind small piece Of thread under the head Of the screw. This will act as packing and help to make a more tight joint As for the valve caps, would advise that you use copper asbestos gaskets under these. and if they still show signs of leakage take them out and cover the threads with a paste made of graphite and oil.
 There is no way to serviceably vul- canize a hard rubber case of a stor- age battery. If a temporary repair is made the acid of the electrolite will in few days soak through. A new case is not expensive, and would cer- tainly prove more satisfactory.
 Motoring Department, the Herald I have a 1909 car which has given me good service in every respect except the frame This does not seem to be strong enough for the rest of the car. It has broken three times and has a tendency to sag. A friend of mine has new frame which, he says, will fit my car, with the one eXcep- tion that it is a little long. My friends frame is much heavier and more substantial, and I would like to know whether it would be a very diff cult job to make the change. Can you give me some information regard ing this ?-J. B. A.
 It would be rather an expensive operation to install new frame. In the first place you state that this frame is longer than the old one, which will necessitate the lengthen- ing of the wheel base of your car. This will entail considerable work and probably require a number of new

INGRAM SPIKES RUMOR.

New York, May 5.--Manager Me- Graw and Secretary Foster of the Giants declared last night that there was absolutely no truth in the report that Christy Mathewson would suc- ceed Miller Huggins as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. According to report from the Mound City Mathewson was to go there in ex- change for catcher Ivy Wingo and outfielder Lee Magee, two players who accompanied McGraws team around the world last winter. It was alleged that the transfer would occur about June 15.
 We might as well lock up the Polo grounds as to trade Matty," said Me- Graw.
 Some one has been hitting the pipe in St. Louis,' declared Foster.

proximately for yourself by taking into consideration the following. namely: The investment and the in- terest on this investment; insurance covering liability, fire and theft. col- lision, property loss, etc.; storage charges; fuel consumption; tire cost; it being assumed that the average car of 5000 pounds will use tires at the rate approximating 1 cent per mile per tire; general repairs to maintain the car in good condition; deprecia- tion.
 If you do not operate the car your- self you must also figure the cost for 8 chauffeur. ~ By bearing this infor- mation in mind you should be able to approximately estimate what it will cost you. You may possibly be able to eliminate or reduce number of the above mentioned items As stat Fed previously, the size of the car you contemplate using, the manner in which it will be handled and the con- ditions under which it will be operated are determining factors.

Cubs Manager Lauded in Booklets
 Given Out to Chicago Fans.
 Chicago, May 5.-The Cub schedule booklets, which are distributed gratis at the park, contain some interesting facts about Manager O'Day. probably inserted to help make the new boss popular with the fans. Here are a few squibs from the booklet:
 Manager O'Day was Connie Mack s batting partner.
 Manager O'Day has played every position on the team but catch.
 Manager O'Day once pitched five games in New York in one week and won them all.
 Manager O'Day of the Cubs is author of the foul strike rule.
 No one living knows more baseball than Manager O'Day of the Cubs.
 Manager O'Day of the Cubs was born within six blocks of the West Side ball park.
 Readers of the Cub schedule books also notice advertisements for Charley Weeghman's lunchrooms, his theater and billiard parloE Weeghman, the Federal promoter, had no ulterior motive in buying this : advertising space probably, but merely duplicated the order he has given for several years.

 The court also held that it was doubtful whether Hawkes. was quali- fled, under the rules of the union to be a candidate for president The executive council ruled Hawkes. off the ballot because he had been in arrears in dues during the year preceding his announcement as candidate for presi- dent

New York, May 5.-A hurricane batting streak by the Brooklyns in the ~fourth inning of yesterdays game at the Polo Grounds landed three runs for them pellmell, as we'll as hot off the griddle, but this was the only time they could make inroads into Mathewson's pitching, and the Giants caught, passed and beat them.

parts. It is also a question whether the motor, transmission and other
 parts could be changed over without making number of expensive altera- tions. Since you have an old car it would hardly seem advisable to en- nance it's value by such costly repair. It would seem more advisable to re- inforce your present frame. Before attempting this work you should make very careful measurements; other wise you may encounter problems m

 prove very expensive to overcome. Motoring Department, The Herald
 Can you give me an idea of the
 approximate upkeep of a two-passen-
 ger runabout for constant service :?
 I should like to buy one, but do not
 want to until I know about what
 the upkeep will stand me.-W $. NJ
 The upkeep of such a car depends
 entirely upon the size of the car,
 the manner in which it is handled,
 and the conditions under which it is
 operated. The larger the car the more
 expensive to maintain. More fuel will be consumed, larger and more expen- sive tires will be required, and the general upkeep will be greater An important factor is the manner in which the car is handled. If you con template fast driving you must figure on greater tire expense and greater maintenance cost.
 The condition under which the car is to be operated is also an item to be considered-that is to say, if you use a car in section where the roads are not good or in a very hilly sec- tion then you must make greater ai- lowance for maintenance cost and general depreciation. If you care to specify the type of car you wish to use more definite information will be given. You can estimate this ap-

DELMAR AND sEcROPHOBIA.

D ELMAR seems to be suffering from an acute at
- tack OF nogrophobia. It is a pity that such a
charming and progressive Sussex county town is re-
ceiying much notorioy through excesses committed
by the hoodum element There is no valid excuse
for tho that is in that community and
the sobe. minded and iustice-lovlng men and women
who live there should unite to put an end to it, Fail
ing in that they should make appeal to the county
officials for assistance.
II The news stories SEN out from that disturbed
town be correct the underlying cause OF the whole
trouble is that negro man, in his individual ca
pacity, insulted white in the street Quite
naturally and properly the womans friends resented
it and demanded that the man be punished Alarmed
by the aftermath Of what ho had done the negro es-
capped. Instead OF restricting their attention to him,
running him down and handing him over to the pub
Tic authorities for punishment the crowd bent upon
avengmg the wrong inflicted upon the white woman.

had had nothing whatever to do with the insult and
most OF whom had absolutely knowledge of t. Tho

places Of business and residence we're attacked
Then some started rumor. wholly unfoundod
that hordes Of who live In neighborng towns

oven greater height and several hundre5 men went
to the railroad station to meet grapple with the
out-of-tovn negroes. When the train which was sup
posed TO transport them arrived not negro bound

a ridiculous position
The whole thing has bocn dsgraceful and it is time
