A SMOOTH ONE

The Blunt autorities are looking for
a smooth swindler, who attempted to
victimize a Blunt bank out OF SZo. Inc
presented a draft for this
amount, purporting to have been is
sued bv a Salem bank, but the bank
officials here would not cash 1t until
thev sent it to Salem for collection,
only 10 be advised that the draft was
worthless. While in Blunt the swim
der evidently secured possession OF a
blank check of the Dakota State bank,
for a few days later a bank at MID
land sent to the bank here a cheek Tor
80 which the Midland bank had paid
in the belief that the swindler mad
in the Blunt bank on which the
check was drawn. 1t is reported here
that the swindler also victimlzed a
hank at Philip. Since his appearance
in Philip no trace a be found or
him but the authorities are confident
they yet will succeed in capturing
him.

crminate slaughter of the seals the eA'
cuse rested on the lack of international
treaties and agreements, as the heetS
of the Japanese. the Russians ana the
Americans descended upon the rook-
cries when the seals had returned 10
the barren rocks Of Prlbilof.
II is the habit of the female seals
upou leaving the islands late each
fall. to go further south than the
males of the herd. BY December they
arrive off the southern coast OF Call-
fornia, where they remain until March
and then they begin their Ions return
Journey. reaching the rocks OF ST.
George and st. Paul, described IN NIP
ling's Three Sealers," early in June.
On their own islands they are now
fairly well protected by laws OF the
United States-and this is well lor
we learn that from habit the old bulls
crawl upon their rocks in May II
remain without eating or drinking, Nv
ing on the great amount of fat they
have stored up while at sea, until July
or August. The feeding grounds OF
the seals are fully one hundred miles
away on the submerged ~plateaus n
islands known as banks, situated on
the northern side Of the Aleutian
chain.
The seals in obeying the universal
instinct of self-preservatiin, establish
ed their retreat far away from their
feeding grounds and there they thriv-
ed and p~rospered and grew, until they
were found out. The wanton slaughter
that took place on the islands was
followed by the scourge of pelagic seal
ing. The responsibility belongs to the
United States. AS the American seals
made their annual migration by swim
ming from the Behring Sea to Califor-
MIA. they were intercepted by white
hunters WIZ Cdlllt Win ilhCS anu oho'
guns and promoted "a carnival of
ruin" as it has been graphically de-
scribed, which has continued almost
up to the present time. Hundreds Of
vessels and several thousand men
scattered themselves over a wide area
on the sea to intercept the migrating
seals off California or Oregon, and fol
lowed them into the Behring Sea,
spearing or shooting every seal that
was in reach. Then they proceeded
to the Behring Sea itself, there to kill
the seal on their way to and from the
feeding grounds.
This thing continued year after year
and became a reproach to civilization.
The ~parentage and responsibility of
the United States was invoked, and
again Uncle Same "ducked" (and gave
to contractors the right to continue
the slaughter. During the history of
a half century, the task of caring for
the seals might just as we'll have been

The missing Is undoubtedly caused
by faulty ignition or carburetion, and
1t seems more likely that the former
Is the cause. First look for short cir
cults. Operate the motor in the dark
whether any sparks jump from any
part Of the wiring to the motor or
frame. Inspect the insulation Of all
the wires for worn or broken spots
where a short circuit to the frame
might be produced. Any such spots
should be tapped or the wires replaced.
Next examine the brushes on the mag
neto. Any that are worn on the ends
should be smoothed off or replaced so
that a good electrical contact Is OBJ
tanned. See that the breaker points are
smooth enough to meet squarely and in
adjustment-that Is, the gap between
them, when they are separated, should
be between one-thirty-second and one
s~ixty-fourth of an inch. Also note
whether the insulation in the breaker
box Is In good condition and whether
there is any possibility Of a short cir
cult either due to this or dirt or OIL.
Take the switch apart and examine the
insulation and tighten any loose parts.
Providing all electrical connections
are tight and the gaps Of spark plugs
adjusted to One-thirty-second Of an
inch. the trouble must be either In the
carburetion system or In the coil or
magnetic.
Assuming that the carbureter adjust
ment Is correct, see that there are no
mir leaks In the intake manifold. Look
for dirt In the gasoline system and see
that the float Is not soaked with gaso-
line and that the needle valve and float
valve or their seats are not worn.
While you may drive with the spark
lever properly advanced and the mag
ncto may be correctly timed, 1t is pos
sible that the linkage connecting the
spark lever with the magnetic is loose.
so that when the lever Is advanced the
breaker box Is not acted upon.
See that the fabrication system Is in
proper working order and check up the
vblve timing.

My car starts badly. IL has a tour
cylinder, 4.25x5.5 inch motor, but only
a magnetic for ignition. The motor
works evenly when once under way.
IL IL can be started rolling down grade
and then thrown into gear it starts
readily enough. Can you suggest a
remedy for tho trouble?
Your magnetic is probably causing
the trouble, although 1t is well to make
sure that the difficulty does not lie In
the carbureter adjustment or IS not
due to leaky valves. See that the
spark plugs points are 1-32 inch apart.
that all connections are tight and that
there are no short circuits. Then ex-
anime the breaker points on the mag
neto. File them until they meet
squarely. and then adjust them until
the motor runs evenly at all speeds.
The exact distance depends upon the
magnetic. but should be somewhere be-
tween 1872 and 1-64 inch. II the points
are too far apart the motor viii not

Carbon deposit is caused by the car

free by the heat Of combustion. If
the mixture is too rich there will not
be enough air for combustion Of all
the carbon in the gasoline, and there
fore after the explosion takes place
some carbon In the form Of a very fine
powder will remain. This Is caught by
the Oil on the walls Of the combustion

suit Is a hard mass Of carbon held to-
