Billy Sunday and His Party in Ac-
ton is the title of a moving picture
reel now being shown in local movie
house The announcement of this film
attracted the attention Of ministers of
local churches and it was d subject
of discussion at the meeting of the
Westerly Ministerial association last
Monday. Rev. Frederick A. MACEDONIA
president of the association, had openly
declared that he would not CONNER
cialize the gospel Of Christ as preached
by him, and that he had declined
big offers of picture promoters to pose
for the film screen. With this state
ment Of Billy Sunday verified, the
ministers could not understand the ap-
parent Inconsistency. The president
was appointed a committee to rinyesti-
gate and it was ascertained that the
pictures being shown in Westerly were
not authorized by Mr.. Sunday and that
the manager of the local theatre where
the pictures were being exhibited would
receive a legal warning not to show
the pictures on the screen,~a the pic
lures were unauthorized. But the or
chestra played an6 the pictures went
on just the same.
The local ministers, and perhaps
Mr.. Sunday, had opirion that the
scenes were taken in the Boston ta-
berna Gle, or at a reception of a semi
private nature in Utica, hence the in
vestigation and subsequent warning,
AS matter Of fact, the pictures We're
taken at a public open air meeting in
Philadelphia, and evidently without his
consent or approval.

One feature of the many disputes be-

aired before Judge Oliver H. Williams
in the Third district court Friday.
This is an action of trespass and eject
ment brought by Abraham Captain
against Rosie Lalima, and affects the
dividing line of lands Of plaintiff and
defendant in Canal street. 1t was
shown that the defendant built barn
on land of plaintiff and subsequently
removed it, and that fence erected
by plaintiff had been removed by or
ders of defendant. 1t is a mixed up
mess, the one side believing that the
other is encroaching on the land of
each other. AT the opening the court

Village Boosting

An exchange speaks truthful words
in a brief editorial article on the sub
ject of village boosting. 1t is quite
right when it says that boosting is
form of community advancement that
need not be confined to the cities, and
that If the people of the village would
make the most of their advantages
and natural surroundings they would
be able to induce many homes seek
ers to take up their residences within
their limits.
In recent years there has been a
great deal of boosting in many cities,
and where this has been conducted
with sense and Judgment the results
have been good. But city boosting is
more distinctly in the line OF business.
Efforts are made to bring in new in
dustries and to build up the business
interests and the opulation and many
cities have been greatly benefited
along these lines by the labors OF
their boards OF trade and other organi
cations.
In the village the conditions are
different. Most of the business oppor
tunities there are already improved
but in nose OF the villages there are
opportunities for improvement il
other directions. Many streets ant
many buildings could be made more
attractive at small cost. 1t is a rare
park or public square that is not cal
able of betterment, in most case
without large outlay of money. Judt
ment, taste, industry and prodent eX
penditures will do wonders for the
average village, and it is time the vii.
lage people should wake up to their
opportunities.
But in boosting there is one import
ant fact to be borne in mind in the
villages as well as in the cities, This
is that not all of the good things must
be on the outside. Careful home seek
ers will not be attracted by elaborate
public improvements for which the
community is in debt For the genuine
ly prosperous village there must be a
business management which will en-
able it to have the necessary improve
ments without intoerable financial
burdens. Finery that is owed for
counts for little more in the case OF a
community than in the case of an in.
dividual
Village as well as city boosting is
strictly in order, but it must be intelli
gently done if it is to bring the de.
sired results, Noise alone will not do
the business, neither will the lavish
expenditure of borrowed money. Con
slant watchfulness and attention to
the little things, with judicious out
lays where needed, will work wonders
for the average village, fact which
should be more generally understood
than it appears to be.-North Adams
Herald.

How to Save Wear on Auto Brakes.


In the Woman's Home Companion an
automobile expert says:
Remember that gradual application
Of power whether from engine or from
brakes, saves wear. When you stop
push out the clutch a hundred yards
off, cut down the throttle and coast to
your stopping place, with the brakes
applied gently. Don't come down steep
hills using brakes alone. Continued
use heats and wears them. Slow up at
the top, slip into second gear and cut
off the ignition current. The engine
acts as brake or drag. Gravity,
pulling the car down, turns the engine
rapidly, and 1t resists. On extremely
steep, rough hills use first gear"

High speed in an automobile motor
~ just as practical as high speed in an
electric motor or steam turbine.
No one would contest that high speed
10 practical in lines of engineering 9TH
er than those which have to do with
gas engines.
A great deal OF this is probably due
to the fact that the early motor was
not capable of high speed without un-
due vibration, which, when continued
high speed was attempted ultimately
( destroyed the motor itself.
The modern ultra efficient high speed
motor and its predecessors. however.
have very little in common. You could
as well compare the spirited thorough
bred racer with a peddler's horse.
A piston speed of one thousand feet
per minute was considered the limit
o. safety a few years ago.
Since then motors have been running
at three times this piston speed with
perfect safety, while their wearing
qualities and economy are greater than
!. in the old fashioned types.
Factors Governing Speed.
Analysing the items which govern
high speed in a gasoline motor. we ar
rive at the following factors which
have to be primarily considered;
First The strength of materials.
Second: Size oe the airing surfaces.
Third: Copus inhrica ton.

skipping is very irregular. Doesn't seem
to skip when I first start out but in a

will go ten or more miles before it be-
gins. Then it skips, say once every

but not always, will then beat regu-

The vibrator spring is very stiff and
runs off the batteries very rapidly.
Please give me your opinion about
the matter and oblige, W. G.
The principle of marine coils and
those used on automobiles is the same.
The fact that the vibrator spring is
very stiff and the trouble seems to oc-
cur after motor has been running
while would seem to indicate batttsfy
trouble, as the magnetism required 10

considerable current from the battery.
We presume you are using dry cells.
If so, would advise using three groups
Of cells, each group to contain the
same number of cells as the present
group. Wire the positive connections
of each group together and the mega
tive connections together. This will
give you greater amperage on the line
with the same voltage. and will stanc
up better than one group lined in
series.
