the ceilings were high and the rooms

Leaving his automobile at the curb

first surprise came when he found the
door locked. In response to his ring

LIKE THE THREE-CYLINDERS

bounced by Experts to Be Pro-
nounced Success.

At the last annual convention of the
American Railway Master Mechanics
association Mr.. j.. s. Bell read a paper
on the subject Of three-cylinder loco
motives, in which he gave particulars
regarding three of this type which
have been giving good service. The
three cylinders are placed on the same
horizontal plane, one between the
frame and other two exterior to the
frame. They have the same diameter,
1SR inches, and each has its own pis.
ton valve. They have been engaged
for several years In fast passenger SER
vice. where they have been doing very
satisfactory work. Their principal ad-
~vantages are that they secure a uni
form turning moment, the cranks be-
ing placed at 120 degrees; they exert
greater tractive power, and they call
for a lower factor of adhesion than
two-cylirder engines. They are easy
on rails and bridges; afford opportun-
ity for better balancing, and can be
operated on the simple, compound, or
triple-expansion Notwithstanding

MACHINE IN ORDER
Systematic Care VIII Make Sewing
Easier and Prolong tho Life Of
the Machine.

1t is a simple matter to keep the
sewing machine in perfect order. but
1t is a rare thing to and one that Is
properly cared for. Here are a few
hints from a woman who has discoy.
cred hat II she wants any tool to do
good work she must take good care OF
1t.
In the first place. a lighted match
or a candle will do wonders for a sew
ing machine. You light the match or
candle and apply 1t to the wheels and
cogs. 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 on with a
clean cloth. You will be simply
amazed at the difference this will
make In the running of your machine.
Then, too, another cause of a bad
running machine Is that the oil in a
machine gums. 1t is really very little
trouble to remove the head, place It
In a big n and wash it in gasoline.
1t makes an old machine run like a
new one, or ever easier than q new
one.
Only you must not forget one
thing. Gasoline Is not a lubricant. so
after washing out the gummed parts
and cleaning them thoroughly. you
must oil the machine with a good lu.
bricating oil. If you try these two
things whenever your machine begins
TO run a little hard, l think you will
De aSreeably surprised at the result"
