man who comes Tuesday $1.5O to So cash our End
Floor Salons would be damned to the limit.

hundreds of women gladly paid full price for ear

Awful Come Down.

William Draycott, playing in Under
Cover" is a Scotchman. One time,
while under the Williamson manage
ment, he played the title role in 'The
Duke Of Killiecrankie" in New Zea-
land. In one scene he wore kits such
as the Clan Gordon uses. A Scotch
man in the audience sought him out
after the first performance and ex-
pressed great pleasure at seeing a
Scotch actor in kits.
"Oh, it's fine," said the newcomer.
You're a pleasin' sight to the eyes.
He hung around Draycott every
night. Finally, one evening, the actor
told him the bill was to be changed.
and what are you going to play
now?" asked the other.
|'Im to appear in a playlet called
Madame Butterfly" said Draycott.
"And what part will you take?"
''Ill be a lieutenant in the United
States navy"

it an awful come down FIR you?"

extent upon the surface of the walls,
and in properly designed valve in the
head motor this wall area is small,
compared with that of another type of
motor of the same size. This reduc-
ton of wall area is obtained because
of the absence of valve pockets.
The main disadvantage of the valve
in the head motor, especially one using
valve cages. is that the valve seats can
not be cooled as effectively as If the
seat were Il part of the casting. This
is true in the cage construction, be-
cause the heat, in order to get from
the valve seat TO the water Jacket,
must overcome the resistance Of the
joint between the cage and the cylin-
der casting. This lack of cooling would
Lot materially affect the inlet valves,
as they are kept comparatively cool by
the incoming gas. but it would mean
more valve grinding in the case of the
exhaust valves.

His Face Called for Touring Car.

That it is expected of some very
plain women to have money in their

men to possess motor cars in order to
maintain their popularity, was shown

had accumulated quite a bit of wealth.

Cold Feet Cause Broken Sleep.

A common cause for restlessness at
night is found in cold feet, and these
should be. especially guarded against
with children who are prone to suffer
in. this way. Hot water bottles, care
fully covered with felt so that there
is no risk of burning the sensitive
skin, should be resorted to when any
tendency Ito cold feet exists, and in
cases of chilly babies generally. cold
is extremely bad for little children,
and much broken sleep is due simply
to it,

Luther Rastall a farmer over near
Viola, is in Jail, for want of $40, 900
bail bond, to answer most revolving
charge lodged against him by his two
daughter. one IL and one IA. The
older girl is near death with tuber-
culosis, and after she was stricken,
the unnatural father turned to her
younger sister. 1t is a most awful
charge. and of course the defendant
claims he is victim of conspiracy.
He heard the officers were coming,
and disguised himself and attempted
10 escape.

farm of Henry Niehaus near Cobb

An immense crowd attended the
1OI Ranch Wild West shnw in Du-

ist, was a great extraction. Some
persons were under the impression
that Willard would not be with the
show and that it was only an adver-
Using dodge, but he was there and
was followed everywhere he went on
the streets by an admiring crowd of
fight fans and many others, who
wanted ru see the conquerer of the
negro champion. A Lancaster man
said the champ is big fellow as in
represented in his pictures, and went
quietly about the city in an auto
making no effort at display or to
show off to the people about him.
Unlike most pugilists Willard does
not gloat over his victory. After
each performance he gives boxing
bout with a sparring partner to
which an admission of % cents is
charged. A large crowd attended at
Dubuque. Several from Lancaster
went down to see the show, and pro-
badly took look at Uncle Jess.

What is the advantage or disadVan
tage of the cantileVer spring in regard
to the three quarter elliptic?
The main advantage Of the cantilever
spring over the three-quarter elliptic
is that it will give the same carrying
capacity with the proper flexibility
with considerably less weight. AnOth-
er advantage lies in its slow period of
vibration and the ability to eliminate
rebound to great extent The weight
of ii cantilever is nearly all inspiring

In the disadvantages the principal
one is that a stiff frame is necessary
and that a roll is given to the body
when the car turns a corner.

How can one tell when a magnetic

When the magnets will not lift and

When this occurs the magnets should

Can gas such as generated from car
bide be used in an automobile engine?
Yes. Occasionally we hear of a mo-
torist driving home on acetylene gas
when his supply of gasoline is exhaust

gas is that it is much more expensive
than gasoline.

What are the advantages and dis
advantages of the valve in the head
motor?
The chief advantage claimed for the
valve in the head motor is that, for a
given size. it has more power than an
/. head or Il head. because Of the fact
that larger valves may he used and
the combustion chamber given Il more
spherical shape. There are Il number
of manufacturing advantages. one Of
which is that the entire combustion
chamber may be machined and given a
high polish, thus preventing, TO u great
extent. the accumulation of carbon.

der walls of motor depends to great

What are the respective advantages
and disadvantages of the 7 head and
head types of motors?
The L head motor. because its valves
are located on opposite sides, allows of
tie use of large valves, and hence more
power is obtainable than in the l. head
variety. other things, of course. being
equal. It is usually more costly to con-
Struct than he l. head type and has q
more symmetrical appearance. The
IT head. however. is heavier and more
complicated than the l. head design,
the latter using only one cam shaft and
having the valves all on one side.

What are the common causes for
motor missing fire?
Missing fire may be caused by an
overrich or too lean mixture, by poor
valve adjustment, inaccurate valve or
ignition timing. leaks around the spark
plugs. cylinder plugs, manifolds, etc,
loose ignition wires. weak magnetic
magnets. water in fuel, faulty spark
plugs or those with poorly adjusted
electrodes, carbon deposits in the cyl
inderS and overlooking.

Is it possible to maintain pressure in
a rear fuel tank when the tank cap is
missing?
In cases of this sort take an old in
ner tube, cut out piece about eight or
ten inches long, tie one end tightly, so
as to be air tight, then insert the tied
end into the tank. Next remove the
valve connection from the pump, in
sert the hose in the open end of the
tube and pump until the tube COM
pletely fills the hole in the tank. Then
trivance will hold several pounds pres
sure in the tank and will last for some
time.

Can an expert gain any advantage
by changing from automatic to hand
control in a battery ignition system?
A skilled driver might get better re-
suits with a hand control of the
spark than could be obtained with
the automatic type of ignition control
for the reason that grade climbing can
be accomplished much easier and the
loads Of the motor considered. In 9th
er words. the driver can shift his
spark to suit road and motor condi-
tons and thus get the highest efticien-
cy at all times.

Is three eighths of an inch too much
play in the wrist pin bushing?
Three-eighths of an inch is entirely
too much play for the wrist pin bush

is meant. There should be so little
play that it cannot be felt by move
ment of the wrist pin.
Can | siIverize glass refIectors? If
so, what are the ingredients and in
what proportions are they used?
An amateur can silverize refectOrs,
but it is very difficult to make a good
job of it. The method by which this
work has been carried out is as fol
lows: First fasten to a block of wood
the finest possible grade of emery
cloth. With this the reflector is
smoOthed down to a fine finish. 1t is
next necessary to have melting pot
and a thermometer which is capable
of measuring more than 212 degrees.
Two ounces of lead, two ounces of tin
and four ounces of chemically pure
bismuth are melted together. Eight
ounces of mercury are added at 212
degrees f. and mixed with the melted
mixture. This is applied while warm
with a smooth camel's hair brush.
