Van Buren, and Lafayette fought it
out for supremacy.
But Snake Hollow was not to be
left out of the race. Houses and
cabins were built well up in the
hollow, or valley, and mining opera
tions were carried on in the hillsides.
Prosperity smiled upon the upper
settlement and in the year 1889 a
meeting was called for the purpose
of effecting a consolidation of the
three town sites. 1t is claimed that
this meeting, or convention, was
hot one, and that eioquence was not
wanting. Each town wanted to be
recognized as the real article, and
finally the head of Snake Hollow was
made the official site of the town,
under the name of Potosi. How the
name, of Potosi, originated does not
appear.
There are other authorities who
claim that this alleged convention
never was held, but that the location
of the village came naturally as a
result of the movement of miners to
the north toward the the rich fields at
Dutch Hollow and British Hollow.
Be that as it may, soon after the viii
lage was located we'll up the hollow
the section had another boom. and
during the years 1889 and 1910 the
immigration to the hollow was simply
immense.
1t is recorded that the first settlers
! held the usual sprinkling of adventur-
Gus characters. The most of the
travel to and from the settlement
was by the river, and many a sweet
row was polled off. 1t is recorded
that one of the real calamities of
those early days was the complete
exhaustion of the stock of fire water.
This was partly because of the free
and easy character of the pioneers
and miners, and partly because the
population increased so fast that it
could not be suitably irrigated, after
the ideals of the mining camp of
1910.
Then there were murders, and a
duel-but of that next week. And
there were newspapers in Potosi-
but that at later installment.

when running on the level or down
grades at a fair rate of speed there is
a singing noise that seems 10 be on the
left side of my gear box, but going up
grade ! can run as fast as ! desire and
the noise is not there. can give the
car good start down grade and free
the engine and do not hear it any more
until engage the clutch again. 1t
does not seem to injure the pulling at
all, but it seems as if there were some
parts rubbing. This has been IN the
car for a long time.
From the description which you give
it would seem that the noise is pro-
duced by the drive shaft pinion and
the differential gear not meshjng prop
erly. In order to overcome this it will
be necessary for you to install special
heat treated parts. The fact that the
piniOn and gear are not meshing prop
erly causes a miSalignment which sets
up vibration. producing the humming
or singing noise.

Can you tell me about what the
pressure per square inch is on the pis-
ton OF a motor at the time of firing;
also the pressure at the time the ex-
haust valve starts to open?
The pressure per square inch at ex-
plosion depends upon the motor itself
to large extent. but on ordinary four
cycle gasoline engines. operating at a
mean effective pressure of ninety
pounds to the square inch and ter
minal pressure of forty pounds to the
square inch. the combustion pressure
on a good average card taken by the
Monograph would he about 500 pounds
to the square inch.

Why and how does four cycle en-
qine back fire in the intake manifold
from a lean mixture when the engine
is cold and spark retarded?
A mixture which is too lean may not
explode. or. if it does. the explosion
will be a poor one in which part of the
mixture burns slowly with flame.
The fame sticks TO the cylinder wall
until the inlet valve opens, and then
the inrushing fresh charge also is ig-
nited, causing an explosion Of the
gases in the inlet manifold and mixing
chamber.

not substitute a SIX volt storage pat
terry for the four dry cells used for ig-
milton on my car?
Rather than go to the expense of 4
storage battery for this work. it would
be probably better for you to use more
dry cells and connect them in parallel
The quality of current from the StOr-
age battery would be apt also to burn
out the points of the breaker mocha
niSm.
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
lets 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. 1t
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 a storage battery
before il short circuits, or should it be
cleaned at regular intervals, even
though it seems to be in perfect con-
dtion?
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
them.

Between the dual, double, single, two

What do YOU think it is this National Association
of Commerce and Labor? Are you interested to
know? If you are not you ought to be, and for two
reasons first because it is trying to deceive you, and
second because the work it is doing vitality concerns
you and every good citizen of the country.
The National Association of Commerce and La
Dor holds itself business organization inter
ested primarily, as its title would indicate, in
merce and labor Not few reputable business men
believe it to be SUCH but what in fact is it?
It's corporation papers show it to be an organlza-
ton for educational purposes and there be pos
sble doubt that such it is.
Mr. Percy Andreae is its president. Now every
one knows that Mr. Percy Andreae at time
head of big Chicago Brewing Company. At present.
however, he is not strictly speaking business man at
all, but may be cassed writer and speaker OF no
mean ability His activities president OF this AS
ISOLATION are strictly those OF the political journalist
In this capacity Mr. Andreae IS the main stay OF the
brewery interests.
The Inside American, journal devoted to the
liquor cause identifies Mr.. Andreae with that cause
in these words:
american liberals are looking to Mr.. Percy
Andreae of Chicago the head of the liberal col
umn for the organization and mental direction
that will result in checking the Prohibition
He is the official chief and upon his shoulders
rests the responsibility of success or failure. He
is without question of the most forcefu and
logical orators upon the liberal side who has ever
appeared before legislative committee to argue
in behalf of personal liberty
AS publicity manager for the brewers, Mr. An
dreae is interested in several plays One of these is
"The Passing of Hans Dppels Saloon" Needless
to say it is drama, full of the wit and wisdom
of the barroom. The play is to have national repu-
taton. 1t has already been the boards in Spring
field Illinois and Cleveland, Ohio. The authors pen
name is John Baantine but in reality the author is
no other than Mr. Percy Andreae, president of the
National Association of Commerce and Labor.

Another Liquor Organization Unnasked-The National

agent for the liquor interests stopped with the writing
of wet dramas we could afford ignore them, but
fortunately they go much farther What is much
dangerous than the writing of wet plays is the
control by the Association, Of which Mr. Andreae is
president of several newspapers that have wide
cuation in the homes of America and not thought
of liquor publications at all. One of these which
although published different address, have it

many of it's articles originate in the fertile brain Of

conendng that the saloon should be retained because
of the received therefrom.
In the December number is account of the
