COLLEGE GIRLS WE'D FOR LOVE,
FEW GET DIVORCE.

On the twenty-tifth anniversary
Thursday of the founding of Barnard
College in New York, Dean Virginia G.
Gildersleeve, declared that there are
fewer divorces among college women,
because the college graduate is apt to
marry purely for love and net for an
occupatiin or home.
. Motherhood, she declared, is really
a profession, and good cook may be
a better one for knowledge of Greek
The greatest value of college educa-
ton for girls, says Dean Gildersleeve,
lies in just this: That it gives them a
better balance, more rounded outlook
and a truer appreciation of life's
values.

READ YOUR PAPER

To live as member of the great
white race of men, to share its
thoughts and it's aspirations, it is nee
essary that a man should read his
newspaper" said U. S. Senator Ster-
ling, of South Dakota, in an address
to the students of the University of
South Dakota. "The newspaper" he
continued, "has come to be indispens-
able. 1t goes and penetrates every

ilized world what the daily house.
talk is to the household; they keep our
daily interest in each other; they save
US from the evils of isolation. l like
to go back to the splendid principle
on which the fine structure rests. And
that principle is the freedom of the
press. Our forefathers must have the
gift of prophecy in regard to the press
They must have foreseen to what pow
er and influence it would come. They
had no dread of publicity of official
acts or motives. They had faith in
the ultimate triumph of truth. JEFF
ferson was willing that error might
be presented if truth could only be
left free to combat it. He was op-
posed to a censorship of the press, and
said that if he must choose between

1t is difficult to say where your trou-
BILE is, but there are many possibilities
The wiring may be in poor condition
and the insulation rOtted, so that short
circuits are developed or the timing
may not he correct. There may lie bad
leaks around the valve stems or at the
points where the intake manifold is at
the likelihood that your magnetic and
curburetOr are not in good condition
Make certain that the magnetic gives
good spark at each plug. that all parts
are III adjustment, all connections tight
all insulation good and the switch free
from loose parts and short circuits
The fact that the carburetOr drips
shows that the float chamber is flood
ing, due to dirt under the needle valve
leak in the needle valve, gasoline
logged float or bent float arm. The
first can be cleaned out. the second
means that the valve must be ground
by rotating it on its seat after applying
some fine valve grinding paste and the
third 10y drying the float in an oven
and then shellacking it. The leak in the
carburetor would prevent a good ad-
justment from being obtained and it is
possible that all the trouble lies right
here The flooding of the carburetor
causes the collection of liquid fuel in
the manifold, so that when the throttle
is opened Il rich mixture is formed and
the motor misses.

it does run on all four cylinders would

The Glasgow courier., 1915-12-10

How are the valve settings for high
speed engines determined?
These are nearly all determined by ex.
periments. What is regarded as good
average timing is first given the motor,
and then variations are tried until
finally the best results are obtained.
The design of the manifOldS and vari-
GUS features exercises influences which
cannot be determined accurately by
mathematical calculation.
Will four inch tire support nearly
twice the same weight as a three inch
tire at the same pressure? Or will not
a four inch tire hold load at little
more than onehalf the pressure Of the
three inch?
The carrying capacity of the average
four inch tire is about $50 pounds
when the tires are pumped to eighty
pounds pressure and that Of the three
inch tire 45O pounds when the tire is
pumped to sixty pounds pressure. The
four inch tire is designed to carry not
quite twice the load of the three inch
casing. but reduction in pressure will
reduce its carrying capacity.
Ny engine runs nicely in the shop,
but as soon as take it out the cyIin-
ders start to msfire and have no pow.
Or; then when I release the clutch it
starts to pick up on one, two and three
cylinders, and in few seconds, when
the fourth starts to hit, it races terri
bly,. There is also a continuous drip
