PROTEST. OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The Dakota Evangelical associa-

sents about 10000 German-Americans.
At its last annual conference this body
in a resolution declaring for national
temperance made this statement:
We German-Americans are not all
In favor OF license and personal lib
erty,' but resent the effort that is be-
ing made by the liquor interests to
create the impression that the Ger

champions Of the liquor traffic. We re-
gard such an insinuation as a gross
insult to large number of our best
citizens and emphatically enter pro-

GREAT FAlLAcY.

There never was greater fallacy
than that community, state or nation
must depend on the liquor traffic for
money to pay its running expenses.
The greatest financial stroke the peo-
pie can make is to close every saloon
and thus relieve the taxpayers from
much OF the burden they are now car
rying.

Would a good iron riVet be suitable
TO riVet a front cross member to the
frame on a light car or should it be
put on with steel rivets7
Good iron rivets would be suita Bile
to use on the frame of a light car.
The principal stress endured by these
rivets is one Of sheer through the tend
ency to rack on the part Of the
frame. A great deal depends upon
the manner in which the rivedng Is
done. For instance. it has been shown
in experimenting that a rivet is G.5 per
cent weaker In a drilled hole than In a
punched hole and that by rounding the
edge Of the rivet hole the apparent
steering resistance is increased IL per
cent 1t Is also true that sheering re-
sistance is probably less for double
than for single sheer, and this is prob
ably due to the unequal distribution of
the stress on the two rlvet sections.
Experiments on the steering strength
OF iron and steel rivets would indicate
that the proportion Of iron TO steel is
as 10 TO 22.1. This ratio is said to be
valid only II the sheer is 10 a plane
perpendicular to the direction of roll
Ing, which would be approximately
the case in your cross frame connec-
ton.

Will slightly rotating the poppst
valves Of a motor prevent the valves
from improperly seating and carbon
from forming on the valve seats7
oscillating the valves VIII tend to
keep the seats clean and thus the
valves will be found to seat more uni
formly. Naturally, this will also pre-
vent the accumulation of carbon In
any quantity on the seats.

When adding eIeotrolyte to a storage

can one tell when the proper amount
has been added7
Distilled water should be added be-
fore the battery is placed on charge.
The solution should cover the plates.
In some batteries the level is one-half
inch higher than the tops Of the plates.
A battery can be tested at any time,

whether it is fully charged or not IS
to test it in some manner. the gravity
method usually being used.

What are the advantages and disad.
vantages Of the disk friction chain
drive compared with other types of
Transmission now more commonly
used7
The advantages of the friction trans
mission are that 1t offers an infinite
number Of gear ratios, is silent, cheap
to manufacture and simple. The dis
advantage is that the friction disk
must be renewed every few thousand
miles. This is a small matter. but
worth noting, and the amount Of
horsepower II will transmit under the
conditions found in automobile design
Is limited Therefore 1t has never
been used to any extent on large cars,
but has found favor on some cars of
medium size and on more small cars.
The gear Get Of my car Is OF the plan
etary type. When the low speed pedal
Is pushed down to start there is a
knock heard from the gear set at reau-
lar intervals. What is the cause Of itf
Owing to the speed OF the motor IN
starting out on low speed the knock
you speak Of possibly is at the outer
bearing or transmission shaft bearing,
where the car IS cranked The dust
ami dirt continually working in this
babbitt cut out the bearing sufficient
ly to produce knock at this point.
This bearing has a babbitt lining ami
must be poured to at the shaft.
Please explain whether there would
be any advantage gained by fitting
aiuminium pistonsf
Aluminium pistons are lighter and
reduce the vibration because Of their
light weight The expansion Of aIu-
minimum under heat Is greater than that
OF cast iron, giving great difiiculty IN

What part does gIyeerin play In an

GIycerin is used in anti-freeze solu-

would like to have you tell me why
! have trouble in starting my car when
warm. Several times ! have had to
get help from some one who could
spin Il. Spinning always starts IL, but
this I am unable to do. II always
starts readily II thrown into high when
rolling down a grade.
The fact that you have no trouble in
starting the motor when cold would In
dictate Immediately that the trouble is
not in the ignition system. If you will
try slightly richer mixture on the car
bureter 1t may relieve the trouble. An
other possible cause is that the valves
may be adjusted too close so that when
cold they close. but when warm there
is an air leak that dilutes the mixture.
Carbon trouble also acts this way at
times, and IL the motor has not been
cleaned out lately 1t Is suggested that
the carbon be removed. Another posi-
bic feature which does come under the
head of ignition is that the dry bat
teries may be weak.

were aole to shoot but two foul goals
which netted them their only two
points.
The four teams in the Intermediat

fastest games of the season yesterday
afternoon. The Harvards nosed out
the Cornells in the first game by the
close score of 10 to IL. The Harvards
seemed to have better team work than
the Cornells, the latter not being able
to get together until the last game.
The second game resulted In victory
for the Princetons over the Yale team.
The Princeton's charge, lead by Capt.
DeSilva was too much for the lighter
Yale team. Mark Mayer played a good
game for the Yales while the whole

interrupted1y for twenty-seven hours,
at times Hercely, then with long, dull
speeches against time.
The low tone in which Senator
Sutherland read statistics aroused the
attention of Senator Owen, who made
a point of order that "mumbling'' was
not debate.
Mr. Sutherland replied that Sena-
tor Ovens language might be parlia-
mentary, but was personally often
sive. The presiding officer held it
was not in his power to control the
tone Of voice of a senator.
Soon afterward Senator Sutherland
rested and Senator Lodge Immediately
took the floor. Mr.. Owen made the
point of no quorum and forced anoth-
err roll call. The call disclosed a
quorum present-54-and Senator
Lodge proceeded.
81 particularly regret" he said,
that the presidents secretary is not
now here as he was all Of last evening
and again this morning. 1 think that
since congress has been converted into
registry office we ought to have
with us the persoal representative Of
the president.
"Of course It Is too much TO expect
that the president should be in atten-
dance himself and therefore while the
watchful waiter keeps his eyes fixed
upon the red panorama in Mexico. it Is
well that his Secretary is here to see
that none Of the lambs stray from the
fold"
While Senator Lodge was speaking
movers brought bed to the capitol
and set it up in the committee room
of Senator Ollie James The Ken
lucky senator said he was ready to
