Trial by Jury.

The New York Law Journal says on
the subject of trial by jury:
"While we do not think that trial by
jury ought to be abolished or that there
is any increasing sentiment in that di
rection, we do believe that the system
should be modified by dispensing with
the requirementfor unanimous verdicts
This would obviate the element of in
dividual eccentricity as an impediment
to the administration of justice Men.
tai idiosyncrasy on the part of judges
is constantly exhibited and scarcely
excites comment An eminent and
very able judge will dissent from the
ruling of his associates when it is eX-
tremely difficult to understand how So
gifted mind could have gone off on
that particular tangent. By permitting
affirmances or reversals, notwithstand
ing dissent the personal equation is
eliminated"

MsdeIed After an Ancient Tomb.

The temple of the Scottish rite in
Washington is Il handsome white mar
bic structure about 100 feet square and
rises to a height of $50 feet above the
street level. At either side of the main
entrance is an immense marble sphinx.
A row of tall Ionic columns surrounds
the second story. The architects fol-
lowed closely the design of the ancient
tomb of King Mausolus. which stood
in Halicarnassus and was one of the
seven wonders of the world. 1t was
built by the wife of the king and was
decorated with hundreds of wonderful
statues. This old tomb became so ia.

has been used.

What tuberculosis Costs.

1t has been estimated that deaths
from tuberculosis cost the nation hall
a million dollars annually through the
loss of wages and the value of the
things workers would produce if they
we're not suffering from the disease.
To conquer this enemy of the human
race more than s20,OO0,OOO a year is
expended. That the good work is pro.
crossing is shown by the fact that in
20 years the death rate from tubercu.
losis has been reduced from 2454 to
1853 per 100000 population.

PRESIDENT WILSON IN

A dispatch from Washington
says:
Grave fears are felt by the ad-

Of the Lusitania will lead to a
wave of anti-German feeling that
will sweep the country. Presi-
dent Wilson thus far has man
aged to keep public opinion
well within bounds, and the spo-
radio evidences of pro-allies' feel
ing have not been serious, The
next few days are certain to be
anxious ones for the White
House. for they will show
whether the American people
will keep their balance or become
partisans in their resentment.
The fact that many Americans
were known to the Germans to
be aboard the Lusitania is calcu-
lated to excite the populace. it is
feared. The sinking of the ship
without warning to the unfortu-
nate passengers and crew. it is
pointed out, does not leave a
good impression and tends to the
belief that the kaiser's govern
ment holds America and Ameri-
cans in cool contempt.

EXPERT ADVICE FOR
AUTOMOBILE OWNERS
Queries and Replies Covering
Matters of Importance To
the Man Who Runs
a Car.

l'recentlY disconnected the pump and
magnetic shaft on my car to take up a
little play, and also adjusted the car
bon brushes. | am getting a good
spark and at the right time, but when
try to crank the motor it kicks back.
Can you tell me where the trouble is
likely to be2
The cause of the trouble is that the
spark is advanced far enough for ordi.
nary running, but is too far for crank
ing The result is that the spark oc-
ours before the piston has reached up.
per dead center, and the explosion in
stead of forcing the motor ahead
throws it back in the reverse direction
The magnetic should be so arranged
that the spark occurs at full retard on
exact dead center. Magnetos are gen
orally set so that the brake in the pri-
mary breaker box occurs at this point
My radiator was frozen and now
leaks when warm. What can | do?
Temporary relief will be obtained by
using cornmeal, the method Of applica-
into the radiator, when the circulation
of the water will naturally tend to col
lect the substance around the hole, thus
plugging the leak. There are a num-
Der of radiator compounds on the mar
ket which may be of value
Will you please give me solution TO
my troubles with carbon? | find it
necessary either to burn or scrape out
the carbon from my motor at least
every 400 miles, sometimes less. have
tried all kinds of oils with various re-
suits, the more expensive oils giving
the best. Have also tried different size
jets in the carbureter, putting kero
sene in the intake every week while
the engine is hot, carrying the oil level
about half full, etc, but to no avail.
The cause of carbonization in this
motor is probably due to too much oil
being pumped into the cylinders. This
would be due to the gauge on the oil
base not registering correctly and
hence bringing the oil level too high. II
is suggested that you empty all the oil
out of the oil base, cleaning it thor
oughly with kerosene and then refill
ing with twenty-one pints of engine
oil If the gauge does not register full
at this point bend it until it does.
Is there any need of having the sedi-
ment washed out of storage battery
before it short circuits, or should it be
cleaned at regular intervals, even
though it seems to be in perfect con-
dition?
An ignition battery with rather thick
plates may not need cleaning of the
sediment trap for one year or per-
haps two. In starting and lighting
batteries the period is longer, and usu-
ally the plates need replacement when
the sediment trap is filled to any ex-
tent
What may be the cause of the brakes
not being effective, and how may it be
remedied?
The common cause of brake slippage
is due to oil on the brake bands. This |
oil makes its way from the differential |
housing TO the brake bands and causes
the brake drum to slip Poor adjust !
ment of the brake rods will cause poor |
performance. Take a squirt gun, fill |
it with kerosene and empty the con,
tents upon the brake bands. This will !
tend to dissolve any grease or oil upon .
