been declared n legal holiday, and
nearly all the business houses and
factories were closd to permit their
employees to march in the gigantic pa
rade, which early took possession of
the grounds.
The formal aspect Of the dedica-

possible. United States soldiers and
marines escorted Secretary Lane, and

trance to the exposition, where they
were welcomed by President Charles
C. Moore, and the other executive

County officers and Prohibition

Clinch Valley News:
Your editorial in last weeks paper
on County Officers and the Dry Vote"
opens up question of prime impor-
lance to the people of Tazewell, and
also to the whole state. Virginia
voted this state "dry" last September.
TaZewell county gave an over
whelming majority for statewide.
About 2,4OG votes were cast in the
election, nearly 1000 of which were
for statewide.
If the statewide law is to be eff
tective its friends must stand I'D TO
II and back it up in every county in
the state. Its enemies-those who
fought it and worked against it can
not be expected to do so, and not one
OF this crowd should be elected to any
office in the county should he offer
himself for office. Some of the citi-
zens OF this section, and a large num-
was claimed, acted "wet."
1t is said by those who have reason
to know, that more liquor was shipped
to this and other depots on the Ciinch
Valley last Christmas than ever be-
fore, and the twenty barrooms in
poor old liquor soaked Pocahontas
could scarcely live but for the trade
received from this supposedly "dry"
section. Now, l am not candidate
and have no candidate, but as an I'M
compromising statewide citizen, and,
like scores of other voters | know.
want only to know where the can
didates stood and now stand. We
owe it to our selves, our children. to
the army of good women who fought
valiantly to carry the election, we owe
it to the other counties in the dis
trict and in the State at large, to use
every means to Danish the accursed
stuff from us forever. A saloonless
State and nation can never be unless
we have saloonless counties. / am
against no man as such-only the
principles. Let our candidates speak
out. They are all good men enough.
Are they out-and-out in favor of state
wide prohibition?
Respectfully,
COMMENTS: We had supposed
that the status of the candidates al
eady announced, was generally known
in the county, and the public discussion
of the question would not become ne
cessary. 1t is suggested to "Voter"
and his friends that ne consult the
candidates personally if he does not
already know how they "stood and
now stand" These men are intelli-
gent and Independent citizens, and
will not hesitate to speak for them
selves. If any one or all of them pre-
fer to speak through this paper its
columns are open to them, free of
charge. We had decided that the
question of prohibition was settled,
and that it would not be necessary to
have this fight over again, but it
appears that such is not the case.

nection or primary wire is to crank the
motor until n contact Is established by
the timer. Another method is to short
circuit by using the blade of a screw
driver by making a connection between
the terminal of the timer and metal.
When II is desired to test the action OF
vibrator take a piece of wire and
attach one end to the steering column
or metal OF the chassis. Take the free
end of the wire and touch It to the ad-
justing screw or post to which the lead
from the timer Is attached
This will obtain the same conditions
as when the motor is cranked to obtain
contact at the timer. BY using the
wire each unit OF the coil may be easily
and conveniently tested and adjusted
The method Is also OF value In ascer-
tanning which unit of the coil is at fault
Testing Spark Plugs.
To test the spark plugs, short circuit
the terminals of the timer with the
screwdrlver as previously explained. and
in laying the plugs on the cylinders
make sure that the terminals OF tn,
cables do not touch any metal. else the
high tension current will not jump the
spark plug gap. but will take the pa III

Automobile Accidents
Now Are on Decrease

at is better to be safe than to be
sorry Is the theory now adopted by
practically all automobIlists and pedes-
TRANS says Irwin T. Donohue, Wash
ington distributor for accessories. AS
a consequence, there are fewer sorry
people now. in comparison with the
number OF motor cars driven, than ever
before. Automobile accidents are on
the decrease.
The safety first movement Is largely
responsible for this. The pedestrians
themselves and the drivers arc becom-
ing educated to the requirements for
safety-they have greater respect for
better observance of these rights.

has been in Washington for the past
two weeks. Mr.. Holton is primed with
news concerning business conditions

One of the troubles sometimes ex-
perienced with cars that have seen con-
sidera BILE service is the high speed slip
ping out of engagement. This Is caused
by worn clutches or dogs of the inter-
mediate gear which are meshed with
the constant mesh gear when utilizing
the high. The trouble can generally be
overcome by grinding the faces OF the
clutches to restore their contours.
Making Headlight Brace.
Much of the trouble experienced with
the bulbs of the electric headlights is
due to vibration. When electric hsht-
ing was. first adopted by the manufac-
turer it was not considered necessary TO
utilize a brace for the lamps. but it was
found that the vibration was largely
responsible for the filaments breaking.
Motorists experiencing trouble with
bulbs Oh cars not fitted with brace
will find that the device will eliminate
much of their trouble. 1t Is not a d1l-
hcult matter to make and mt prace
and any blacksmith can make one. ne
cost is slight and will be saved in bulbs.
The brace can be used to carry the
license plate.
Locating Leaks.
Locating minute leaks is a simple
matter II a mixture of soap and water
is employed. Soap suds will be found to
be exceedingly useful for locating Duz-
zling leaks in inner tubes, for ascer-
tanning faulty connections in the pres
sure fuel systems, exhaust line, etc
Apply the soap suds with a brush. Any
leal, will be instantly noted by the bub-
bles given off. This method Is success
full where the usual treatment fails.

auires periodic attention as the plati-
mum points become fused and pitted.

the passage of the primary current. To

utilize a very fine file. These may be
