What is meant by loading earburetor1
have recently had my car oVerhauled,
and Il seems to knock considerably
pulling slowly, and retarded spark does
not have any effect. I wonder If what
IS called loading earburetor is the
cause?
A loading carburetion system is one
in which there is excessive condensa-
zion, thus making the mixture too rich
anh causing trouble. A motor with
very long inlet manifold is apt to load
up. as it is called, at low speeds be-
caHSe the flow of mixture through the
manifold is so slow comparatively that
there is an opportunity for condensa-
ton. The liquid gasoline resulting
from the condensation drops down into
the carburetor and is carried up again
into the motor. The real trouble. how
ever. is caused by the gasoline globules
travelling TO convenient cylinders only,
leaving one or two perhaps free to get
Il good mixture. The remedy for load
ing is to get additional heat to the
manifold so as to assist vaporization,
or change the manifold.

Which is the best type Of clutch &c
have on a ear-Ieathsr face cone type,
multiple disk running in oil or woven
wire asbestos against steel1
The mention of the design of clutch
does not necessarily tell one whether 1t
is better than another type, as one form
of cone clutch may be better than
certain design of disk, and vice versa.
1t is conceded usually that the disk
type gives easier engaging and is not
so apt to slip, owing to its greater fric-
tional surface. Also grabbing is a con-
dition which the average disk clutch
does not show. However, some designs
of cone clutches show results which
compare favorably with the best Of
disk clutches. The disk clutch is more
complicated than the cone, but when it
comes to care some disk designs re-
quire it less frequently than some Of
the cones.

What valve timing should one use on
a two cylinder opposed motor with
bore Of four and one-fourth and
stroke of four and one-half inches?
Since the valve timing which will
give ideal results for any given motor
is a variable quantity and depends
largely upon such details as manifold
design. the only thing which can be
done is to give you an approximate
timing from which you can vary In
one direction or the other until you at
tain the best results.
II the cams are already made and In
the motor You can only place them 50
that the valve openings will correspond
with those given and allow the closing
10 take care OF itself. A fairly average
timing which should give good results
is as follows: Intake valve opens 10
degrees after upper dead center and
closes % degrees past lower dead cen
ter. Tie exhaust valve opens 40 de-
grees before lower center and closes
degrees past upper dead center.

Can the low speed of an ordinary
gear set be changed to lower ratio
without changing the two higher
speeds7
II the gear box Is well laid out I'm the
first place the changing OF the lowest
gear ratio alters the proper progression
from one gear to another. In most In.
stances the gear box is laid out on ei-
ther geometric or arithmetic progress
sion. Therefore II the lowest ratio IL
changed II will throw the proper pro
gression from one gear to another into
disarrangement and therefore should
not be done unless the gear box Is ili-

The platinum points in my breaker
box burn out in four or FIVE months.
Can you tell me why this is7
Tnterrupter point destruction usually
is caused by poor adjustment and care
of the points. If the points have too
much clearance between them, allow
ing arching, the heat produced will de-
stroy the metal in a short time. The
POINTS should be dressed three or four
times a year by fling with a very fine
file Special magnetic rules are sup
piled by the maker Of the instrument

Dallas May Not Hold
Water Bond Election
copital journal Special service.1

Capital Journal Special Seryice)
Dallas, Or. March l3.-Although
plans have already been made for the
calling of special election to be held
May 10 for the purpose Of voting bonds
to the extent Of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of the Dallas water system from
II. V. Gates the present owner, IT is
barely possible that the election will be
called off owing to public sentiment
against municipal ownership of the
plant. At the last council meeting
when the question came up for the pur-
chase of the plant only two members
voted against it. Now, it is said at
least two other mombers Of the council
have decided that it is not the best
thing for the city to do and consider it
would be a useless expense to go ahead
and hold the election. If this is true It
is probable that at the next meeting Of
the council next Monday night an ordin-
ance will be introduced to repeal the or
dinance callnf for the special election.

Minnesota Plans To
Reclaim Million Acres

Bemidii, Mimi, March 13.-One mil
lion dollars will be spent in Beltrami
and adjoining counties by the state OF
Minnesota this spring, to reclaim J.
100000 acres of land, which if free OF
water, would be among the most fertile.
State land experts estimate that the
value of the reclaimed land during
1915 will be $6,O00,0O0, but that before
the end of 10 years, will be $l0O,OOO,'
900. This estimate by the state ex'
peits is based upon statistics of other
land value increased in Minnesota.
The majority of this land to be re-
claimed is in the Northern part, or ad.
Joining the Northern part of Beltrami
county, which in itself is 156 miles long.
Some of the strip to be reclaimed ex'
tends over to st. Louis county, which is
larger than the combined area of Con-
necticut and Rhode Island.
The scheme for reclamation of this
land, at present continuous swamp
of several hundred miles breath, in
cludes the division of the vast expense
into sections, each section to be divided
by roads, at the side of which is deep
drainage ditch. These bitches at every
four sections meet and the object of
the flow is to get flow into Red Lake,
the second largest inland lake, entirely
within the United States, in the nation.
Red Lake is shallow. This will neces.
state a plan for getting the flow of
water from Red Lake south, and even
tually through the Mississippi river
This includes widening the channel of
one of tributaries of Red river, now
opening out of Red Lake, and eventual
ly emtying into the Mississippi river.
Another plan is to bring the water
through a canal, directly through the
northern Minnesota divide, and empty.
ing into Lake Bemidii at its northern
point. Thence a channel will be con.
structed through Lake Bemidii, to the
Mississippi river which flows through
the lake, through distinctive channel
Of its own. BY narrowing the channel
of the river, it is believed that the
Mississippi river at this point will be
able to handle the flow of the water.
It is estimated that the entire work
of reclamation will be completed in
ten years. Cutover timber coupled
with the swamps form an additional
impedient.

cases in the office, which has already
been greatly reduced under the present
administration.
The continuance Of appropriations
made last year for the first time, for
encouragement by the Bureau Of Edu-
cation of school and home gardening
and investigation of rural and indus
trial education, and the appropriation
of $4,000 for medical relief of he In
dians in Alaska.
An appropriation of $4,000 for the
investigations in connection with West
ern irrigation agriculture, partly avail
able for investigations on reclamation
projects; and of $4,000 to enable the
Secretary of Agriculture to encourage
and aid in the agricultural development
of government reclamation projects.
The act for the relief of settlers on
the Flathead Indian Reservation, Mon
tana, permitting the issue of patents
before full payment of water rights
and allowing assignment of homesteads
after proof of residence, improvement
and cultivation.
Providing funds for the payment OF
reclamation charges on the portions Of
the Yuma Reclamation project owned

iect in Montana; $4,000 for the Black
feet project in Montana, and $50, 900

A FEW REASONS WHY
YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE

To avert starvation amongst the
Belgian refugees this winter is the
special object of the Dollar Christmas
Fund.
To secure this object more effect
lively it has already been arranged
with the shilling Christmas Fund of
London which has collected for the
same purpose nearly 100000.
The cooperation of the two funds
in joint organization secures abso-
lutely one great end:
Economy in administration and the
avoidance Of duplication and over
tapping. Every cent contributed goes
direct to the Belgians.
The Shilling Fund, with which we
are allied, has the guidance of the
members of the Belgian Government
and the Belgian Minister in London.
Unless otherwise desired, names of
contributors are published in London
as well as New York.
Mr.. Henry Clews, of Henry Clews
& Co., Bankers, Broad Street, New
York, is the treasurer. All checks
should be made payable to him.
Collection cards and collection
sheets, which will be furnished to re-
sponsible persons by the Secretary of
the Fund at &C Broadway, New York,
should be returned to the Treasurer
by December 25th so that the total
amount contributed may be cabled to
Europe.
All persons are earnestly invited
to allot portion of their Christmas
bounty to this Christmas Gift from
America to Belgium's unhappy people
even those who have already con-
tributed to any other agency of re-
lief.
The Dollar Christmas Fund is in
complete sympathy with every other
Belgium Fund and in conflict with
none.
