DE SMET is THROUGH

The De Smet baseball season closed
Sunday night as far as the association
is concerned. The team went to
Mitchell to fill two dates, and may
remain together longer. The season
began May fifteenth, and during the
two months and three weeks fifty-four
games were played. Four games were
cancelled on account of rain and four
others through no fault of the home
team. 1t has been expensive to keep
an all salaried team in the field, but
we have had plenty of sport and some
good advertising by having a first-class
team. But three teams in the state
that we have played have classed as
strong as ours, and we have taken at
least one game from every team we
have played this season, including the
All Nations. OF the fifty-four games
played t%hirty-one have been won, TWEEN
ty-one lost. and two were ties. Our
percentage stands at 596. The team
was shut cut but twice, while they
shut out their opponents seven times.
In no game were more than ten scores
made off De Smet, while we made
more than ten scores in eight games

and was born neal an obscure town in
the central part of Maine, December
%, 1841. Like other farm boys of his
age he was compelled to go through
the hard routine of farm work with
scarcely three months of the old time
district school to broaden his intellect
in preparation for the years of his
manhood. In July 1863 he enlisted in
the United States army as a private
and was honorably discharged in Feb
ruary, 1866. Among the ten battles in
which he participated was the memoir
able battle of Appomattox after which
occurred the surrender of General Lee
at App0mattox Court House, April 8,
1865. He was a member of the Ele-
venth Regiment of Maine Volunteers
and at the muster out was a non-com-

ANNIVERSARY OF THE TILDENS

The following from the Dillon, Mon.
tana, Tribune will be of interest to
Bookings people, as DR.. and Mrs. Til.
den left here only a few months ago,
the doctor having served as pastor OF
the local Baptist church f.r several
years:
Forty years ago last Monday in the
town of Wateryille, Maine, occurred
the marriage of two prominent young
people Of that state. At that time the
groom was a promising young man
who had just finished a term of service
with the victorious army of the North
while the bride was the charming
daughter of one of Names most prom
inent families. Then, of course, the
future and its store of happiness was
not thought of and little did the par

their fortieth wedding anniversary.
The groom at this time was through
with his military service and had made
up his mind to enter the ministry, in
fact he had without a helper, been
trying to serve the nobler calling for
some time and it was with the highest
aim in life, to be of use to their fellow
men and serve their God and church
that these young folks began their
journey through life together and in
observing the occasion of their mar
riage they likewise observed the ami.
versary Of the time in which they, as
chosen people of God, began to gather
fruit for His vineyard.
Personal visits from their many
friends in and around Dillon and
scores upon scores of kilograms and
letters of congratulations from their
friends scattered broadcast over this
domain, were received Monday by DR..
and Mrs. Horace w, Tilden at their
home in the parsonage Of the Baptist
church in this city of which congrega-
ton Rev. Tilden is now serving his sec
ond pastorate. The congratulations in
some instances were accompanied by
beautiful floral offerings and the re-
ception room Of the Tildens was a
yeritable bower Of the most beautiful
of natures blossoms. In honor of the
event DR.. and Mrs. Tilden received
guests at their home during the entire
afternoon and evening OF Monday.
The day occasioned "reminiscences of
past events many of the pleasant So
cial relations enjoyed with congrega-
lions for whom they have occupied the
pastOrate while others were memories

honor that were forthcoming only as

My car smokes badly and has used
splash fabrication system. What is the
trouble, and how can | remedy il?
When a splash system smokes the
trouble can generally be put down TO
either too high a level in the splash
trough, too deep dipping OF the con
Meeting rods or bad piston rings. The
first two amount TO practically the
same thing. because II the level Of the
oil Is too high the connecting rod Is
sure to dip too deeply into the oil. and
hence the effect is to splash too much
oil to the cylinders. When the piston
rings are faulty the oil leaks past the
rings, and after 1t reaches the com
bustion space il burned In large guam
titles, thereby causing the smoking
and sooting. The proper course for
you to pursue Is first to determine the
proper level In the crank case.
The trouble with your oiling system
might be in the leakage Of air in the
u tank which controls the sup
ply to the crank case. If air leaks
into the cap at the top the oil will flow
out of the tank into the crank case,
and the result will be such as you
mention. Therefore see that the filler
cap on top Of the reservoir Is absO-
lutely alright. II you will do this and
also see that the oil level is not above
the plug In the bottom your system
will work all right.

If two engines Of the same make and
model were set in tho same frame, one
ahead Of the other, would the rear
crank shaft be strong enough to stand
tho strain7
The rear crankshaft would have to be
strong enough to transmit the horse
power Of both motors. This would be
especially true If the timing was SO ar
ranged that the power strokes Of the
two motors were synchronized so that
the minimum stress from both motors
fell upon the shaft at the same time.
In such a case as you mention a heav-
Ter crankshaft should be installed In
the rear motor.

Have the different makes of masnetos
different material for breaker points
than platinum, and, if so, what is it?
Are there different grades of platinum
points?
The so called platinum points for
magnetos vary greatly in composition
and hardness. Different compositions
and percentages of iridium are used in
the compositions. the average being
somewhere about 10 per cent iridium
or less. In some of the very cheap
grades no platinum at all is used, nickel
being substituted. These points do not
stand up for any length Of time.
Where platinum is used the only diff
ference in actual grade Is in the varia-
ton Of the percentages Of alloylng sub.
stances used and also In the thickness
Of the points. In some cases the plati-
mum Is very thin.

My motor runs evenly when running
empty, but when pulling along on high
speed, with the motor throttled down,
the front cylinder misses. have done
everything know of TO correct this.
Can you suggest something?
Provided You are certain that it IS
the front cylinder, we would advise
making Il thorough inspection of the
ignition. Examine the spark plug for
small cracks and see that the points
are about one-thirty-second inch apart.
Look over the wiring to this plug nee
more for bare insulation and inspect
the timer to see that proper contact is
made. See that there are no air leaks
around the manifold connection and be
sure that the valves are not warped.

have put on an all new magnetic cable,
but it goes through anywhere it hap
pens to touch any metal. Can il be that
the magnetic is too strong?
The probable reason for the current
leaking is that the insulation is not
heavy enough, or it has become worn
in places where 1t has rubbed against
the metallic surfaces. Possibly the.
leak Of current occurs ut the point mt
which the wires pass through the fiber
block over the exhaust manifold. 1t
would also be well to note If this block
Is properly in place.

Of late have been putting one gal
lon Of coal oil to ten Of gasoline in my
tank and have found it satisfactory, but
could that be the cause of tho large
amount Of carbon in my engine7 The
carburetor is sufficiently heated by the
hot air from the exhaust, and the in
take manifold becomes SO hot tina it
cannot be touched. There is a knock
in each cylinder whom the engine pulls
hard with spark advanced.
You are driving with the spark ad-
vanced too far. Any motor will knock
when pulling hard with the spark adj
vanced, as you have stated. The spark
lever should be retarded as the throt-
tie is opened, but only enough to stop
the motor knocking. If you will ex-
anime the interior Of your motor you
will probably find that there is not
enough carbon to cause a knock. We
would not advise mixing gasoline and
kerosene; you are likely to have vapOr-
izing troubles, as the Kerosene Is liable
TO be left In the carburetor. The kerO-
sene will not vaporiZe as readily as

Der IS emptied, when il will be filed
with the mixed fuel and the cycle will
be repeated. This variation in the quail
ity Of the fuel will result in poor car
buretion. The saving that results from
adding such n small percentage of kero-
sene is not sufficient to make it worth
the trouble.

air LONG enough for a noticeable part OF
it to evaporate will the remaining gas
oline be any weaker than it was at
first?
When gasoline is exposed to the air
and allowed to evaporate the specific
gravity of the remainder Of the liquid
increases, and, while the fuel value re
mains about the same, 1t Is harder to
start a motor with it. Gasoline Is n
mixture Of a great many petroleum
oils differing slightly in their specific
gravity, and when this mixture Is al
lowed to evaporate slowly a greater
proportion Of the light oils Is taken up
by the atmosphere, and thus what is
left becomes heavier and heavier. and
as the specific gravity increases 1t
makes starting harder.
10 there such a thing az a high COM
preston o. q low compression motor2
II so, what 10 tho advantage Of q low
compression motor?
Motors have been constructed with
compression pressure varying all the
way from nothing at all up to several
hundred pounds. Roughly, motors with
a compression Of over seventy pounds
are generally considered to have high
compression and engines with less than
ffty-ive pounds low compression. Yet
the terms are purely relative and have
no exact meaning. A low compression
motor will run slower and more smooth
ly at slow speed than a high compress
sion one. 1t Is not so likely to knock
when the cylinders are carbOnized. nor
will It overhead 30 readily. The pres
sures generated are not as great, and
therefore the parts do not need to be
made 70 strong. The high compression
engine. on the other hand, Is more Ell.
cient and develops a greater power for
a given piston displacement.

prads on high. After getting Il all over

people claim the spray nozzle In the

think it can BET
The size Of the fuel nozzle on the
carburetor seems to be incorrect, and
II you win get into communication
with the makers Of the carburetor they
will no doubt correct 1t FOR you. An
other possibility Is that the spark plug
points are spread too far apart and
you are not getting good ignition at
low speeds. The probabilities are.
however, that all the trouble IL In the
