Valve Care.
The principal disadvantage charged
against the valve-in-head motor. es-
peclally those OF the valve cage type.
IS the difficulty OF properly cooling
the valves. This difficulty is not
pronounced In the case of the inlet

cool and keeps the valves fairly cool.

valves viii need frequent grinding. In
many cage type motors the cages
must be watched 20 see that they do
not turn around and thus cut Off the
inlet or exhaust.
Fire Killers
The private garage owner may be
glad to know that ordinary com
mercial ammonia is a valuable fire ex-
ringuisher. Another formula for a
liquid which disc0urages combustion

ounces, magnesium chloride four
ounces and water 20 ounces. The

Gen. Funston's ARTILLERY"

In all his campaigns the late Gen.
eral Funston carried a 45-caliber pistol
that extended from his waist to his
knee-not a long way, at that. When
he came ashore at Vera Cruz to take
command of the city, Admirals Fletch'
er and Badger, with their stats, were
drawn up In line to greet him. They
were In white, with shining swords
and accoutrements. The general was
In his olive drab uniform without a
blouse, and had his normo pistol
strapped to his waist.
The British consul was there with
his staff, too, and, falling to see any
respondent officer with gold and lace,
he asked: "Where is the general? Is
he the little Chinaman at the head of
the column, or is that just an American
artillery ~regimenti" General Funston
often told the story himself.

BIG PHILIPPINE SUGAR CROP
Modern Machinery, ~Supplanting Hand
Labor, Results In Planting of
Immense Acreage.

The Philippines are like most Of the
sugar cane growing regions In that the
available labor supply is comparatively
limited. To overcome this, the tractor
and modern power machinery is being
introduced. AS this does not pay on
the small plantations, the custom Is
for one organization to operate sew
eral hundred or thousand acres, and a
well-organized system is involved
throughout the year. L~abor-saving de-
vices are employed wherever possible.
The first process In harvesting sugar
cane is stripping the leaves from the
stalks, an operation requiring much
time and labor, as this must be done
by hand. A cane knife or bolo Is used
by the native laborer, who passes the
knife down each side of the cane,
knocking off and throwing them into
the middle of the row, where other la
borers pick them up and load them
to be hauled to the mill.
Sugar cane milling under modern
methods may be divided into four es-
sential processes, namely, the extrac-
ton of the juice from the cane, the
Qualification of the Juice by boiling, the
evaporation Of the juice so as to re
duce the sugar to the crystalline form,
and the freeing Of the sugar from
impurities. The most modern ma
chinery for all operations is fast being
installed throughout the Philippine Is
lands, and American may
look forward to securing the bulk Of
their sugar from these distant dots
on the Pacific, which W their de-
velopment to American capital and
American leadership.

FUNSTON AS STRIKE BREAKER
Used Rifle as Persusder TO Induce In
dian Packers to Proceed on
Journey.

In 1898 Frederick Funston set out
for Alaska on a commission to collect
botanical specimens. Today the trail
over Chilkoot pass is familiar, but at
that time it was known only to Indian
guides and a few daring miners who
had followed its devious ways. Funs-
ton with two companions went up the
pass and over to the Yukon, says the
Youths Companion. One incident or
the trip he describes In his own pic
turesque language as follows:
"The Indians carried the loads while
we dragged the empty sleds. The snow
fell necessarily for five days, and 1T lay
along our route from 8 to so feet deep.
Day after day we wallowed and strug-
gled on as we worked our way grad
ually upward TO the summit Of the
range. One cheerful little diversion
occurred on the second day. The low
proved chief packer who seemed TO
have charge of the other Indians threw
his load into the snow and announced
that unless their pay was materially
increased he and the other packers
would get themselves back to the VIII
lage, and thus leave US in a pretty
pickle.

An account of the situation or the vegetable supply in Germany IS sjyen in the Deutsche Tageszeitung' The paper says
 The reports on this years Vege- table crop are for the most part quite hopeless, and one need not wonder it prices remain high. In the south and west of Germany ta- yorable condition of things Is in general reported; but in the chief producing districts in northI east' and middle Germany the prospect is very melancholy. Probably the worst reports are from MecAen- burg and Pomerania, where almost the majority of the cultivation con- tracts can not be carried out, or at least can be carried out to only a small extent. In certain parts or silesia and Brandenburg, where thunder storms occurred at the right
