SOLDIERS CORPSES

London, Sept. 21.-Jackals and
hyenas, creeping down from the
mountains along the Serbo-Greek
frontier, are feasting on the bodies
OF Bulgarian and Serbian soldiers
slain In fierce fighting northeast OF
Lake ostrovo.
Three hundred Bulgarian corpses,
piled In heap in one ravine, were
stripped OF their flesh by jackals and
hyenas at night, and by thousands OF
crows and vultures that hovered over
the fighting ground In the day time.
The dead Bulgarlans had been
moved down In q machine gun attack
and lay between the Serbian and Bull
garian lines. When the Serbs ad-
vanced they found only skeletons and
bits Of torn uniforms.
Cooler weather is aiding In the
operations along the Balkan front,
and Is partly accountable for the furl-
Gus fighting now going on between
Serbs and Bulgars. Late In August,
when the allies first began hammerlng
the Bulgarian lines, the heat In the

RED SOX NOW HEAD
AMERICAN LEAGUE
BY H. c. Hamilton.

New York, Sept. 21.--Nerve and
fighting spirit have carried the Bos-

ball world, out of danger for the mo-
ment in the American league race
BY their gritty feat OF winning two
games in a row from the Tigers, and
eliminating the Detroit menace from
chance for first place honors for
today, the champions are now two
full games ahead Of the field and 60

In the meantime the National
leagues merry trl-cornered whirl'
for the pennant grew tighter through
the feat OF Al Demaree in winning
two contests in single afternoon for
the Phillies. The latter club now Is
in fair way TO challenge the claim
OF the Dodgers to ownership OF this
years Tener pennant.
The Red Sox performed quite a
little stunt when they pulled the
blocks from under the Tigers In the
second game OF their series yesterday.

II the Red Sox are now unseated

they had the nerve and they won.

Detroit's grasp. Only remarkable
recovery by the Tigers and a series

The types YOU refer to are the invert-

clutch itself. The difference between
the engaging members is in the direc-

Is there an excessive pressure brought

If the clutch is properly designed

pressure brought to bear upon the
crank shaft bearing by the clutch
springs. The big objection 10 too tight

that 1t will make the clutch grab In
stead Of giving it a gradual engage

Which are more practical for country
use, wood or wire wheels? What are
the advantages of each?
Those who are in favor of wire
wheels claim that their use effects a
saving in tires due TO the heat radiat-
ing qualities of the steel spokes; that a
wire wheel is stronger than a wooden
wheel Of equal size; that it gives easier
riding, due to its shock absorbing quail
tiles; that it is better in appearance.
When in demountable form. in which
most of the types are sold, tire chang
ing becomes a matter of a few min
utes. Quicker acceleration and more eff
fective braking are obtained with wire
wheels than with wooden because. it
is claimed, the wire wheel has a light
rim, and hence the flywheel effect Is
reduced considerably. The wooden
wheel, with a heavy felly. when once
started opposes the braking effort.
The wooden wheel contingent states
that this type is able to withstand
more side strain than the wire wheel,
that it has n longer life, being little af-
AeCltu ny the eielHSHtS. lhdt the uSS vi
demOuntaDle rims makes tire changing
easy. and If this feature is applied to
the wire wheel 1t has the Characteris-
tics of Il wooden having heavy
peripheral weight. If the demOuntable
feature is not used on the wire wheel
a whole wheel must be carried around
as against a covered up tire when
wooden wheels are used. The wire
wheel usually costs more than the
wooden of the same size. Wire wheel
spokes may rust and are more liable to
become loose than wooden spokes.
The above are the general advantages
and disadvantages.

What might cause knocking when my
car is descending a hill and the spark
is fully retarded?
The question is rather broad, as you
do not state whether the knock Is n
from the motor or whether ii Is COM
ing from the rear end or gear set. If
in the motor, 1t may be caused by the
lo%oseness of some part. The bearing
ends may be fattened, causing the
crank shaft TO nov back and forth
slightly. There may be excessive play
in the driving mechanism, causing slap
ping back and forth of the clutch unit.

What compression should a car have
for speed, say on a motor q by 6. And
how can one increase the compression?
You should have about seventy
pounds per square inch. To increase
the compression attach Il fiat plate one

ton by riveting through the piston
head.
