DIR. Haiselden Committed a Crime.
The doctor let the Bollinger baby
die.
"If he grew up he would be hope
less cripple and he would suffer from
fits" said the doctor.
Would his mind be clear? Would
his soul be normally alive? he was
asked.
"That l do not know, but the
chances are against it," he replied.
So he let the baby die by refusing
to operate.
His attention was directed to the
case of Fyodor Dostoyeisky, born a
defective, who gambled and had epil-
leptic fits, and who developed into a
great novelist and one of the great
psychologists of Europe.
Perhaps some of the readers of this
saw the man major" who for a de-
cade was telegraph operator at River
Junction. The trains wait there ten
minutes, and Sir Edwin Arnold on
that journey when he saw the Suwan-
nee River may have seen this man
"Maior" only thirty inches high at
tending to his responsible work when
many men formed like a Greek ath-
lete were languishing in prisons or in
places of vice.
This child was murdered, this Boil
lnger baby, primarily because it ap-
peared best for the child. Now |
have had threre attacks of acute ma
MIA and | am here to say that if some
Haiselden could have known when |
was an infant that l would have had
these trifing attacks of insanity, and
would have let me die of Group or
something because from his gorilla
like point of view he was doing me a
favor, | am sure would have in
time convinced him of his error, if
our souls exist after death.
Letting this deformed child die is
akin to shooting Edith Cavell and
sinking the Lusitania.
| celebrate life and the miraculous
power Of the soul to heal itself |
witness the boundless splendors of
emotion and the quiet glory of ex-
perience as an offset to the pain of a
few epilleptic fits or attacks of ma
MIA. Better to be alive in the cell
of a madhouse clutching the iron bars
and believing ones self to be Satan,
than to miss this strange voyage on
star.

What can it be? Patent piston rings
failed to remedy it.
This is possibly case of piston slap.
as the pistons might tend to oscillate
about the patent rings at the tops of
the cylinders and to slap at their lower
ends. Another possibility is that the
rings do not fit tightly enough in the
piston grooves, thereby giving a back
lash at the end of each stroke. The
crank pin and crank shaft bearings
also should be inspected.

My motor overheats ard earbonzes
very badly. Can you tell ms the cause
of this?
The first thing to do in case of motor
overheating is to 81" II out the water
system in order to make sure that the
heating is not caused by some me
chanical diSarrangement. Use Gntling
hot water saturated with common
washing soda. If possible force this
into the water system under pressure.
Granting that the water system is in
good shape, you may look to the oiling.
The feeding Of too much oil will cause
carbon to deposit rapidly. and the
presence of carbon will bring with it
excessive heating. Heavy oil should
not be used. A light or medium grade
is better. If the ignition and valves
are not timed correctly you may get
overheating. A slipping clutch causes
the motor to show lack of power, and
because it must do greater amount
Of work at a given speed it may over
heat slightly This may account for
the motors comparatively poor show
ing. How about the carburetor? An
overrich mixture, especially if a poor
grade of fuel is used may cause over,
heating.
