miner and self-styled prey of liquor,

for pair of shoes so that he might

drunkenness. Released, he started to

BANKERS OPINION.

]. B. Wadsworth, a banker of Gads.
den, Ala, gives the following testimony
to the success of prohibition in his
state:
'"The common masses of the people are
the beneficiaries of prohibition. They
have the money that formerly went for
liquor to pay rents, buy clothes, shoes
and groceries, send their children to
college, etc., etc. Thousands of wage
earners now have them who formerly
had no bank accounts. The economic
feature is marvellous. Cost of officers,
police, judges, ETC., is reduced to o
minimum"

WASTING FooDsTUFFs.

The following editorial recently ap-
peared in one Of the leading dailiea of
the middle West under the caption Of
"Foodstuffs."
"The time is here when farm crops
must be used for food; when the prod
ucts of the land will not suffice to feed
the people of the world. To use for
making liquors the grain which is need
ed to feed the people is an economic
crime and an offense against humanity.
This Is the broad view of the beverage
liquor question. 1t is outrageous to
think of hundreds of thousands of hui
man beings being insufficiently nour-
ished, scantily fed, while the crops are
being taken for the manufacture of
booze. If the people will think of
the liquor question from this point of
view there will be small delay in bring

not only cut off the evils Of the liquor
traffic, but also will stop the misappro-

PRIVILEGED.

PRIVILEGED.
While some boys in Somerville,
Mass, were playing in a vacant lot,
one of them found splendid place in
which to hide from his companions.
1t was an old boiler, and In it he
scrambled. But more quickly he
scrambled out and ran to give an
alarm, for In that hiding place he
stumbled over something that had
been man.
Beside it was whisky bottle.
If it had been a thug or gunman
that had done the killing, with what
zeal would the officers have pursued
him, and how securely the authorities
would have locked him up!

CORRECT IGNITION
TIMING IMPORTANT

To the Automobile Editor of The
Tribune.
Sir: Correct ignition timing is very
important The charge of gas must
be fully ignted at the instant the
crank pin passes dead centre. When
this is done the full expansive force
of the explosion is eXerted on the pls-
ton and the best results are obtained.
When the motor is turning over at the
rate of | 900 revolutions minute the
crank pin passes through top centre
much faster than when the motor is
turning over at the rate Of 500 revolu-
lions a minute. Since it takes a GER
tain amount of time for the charge of
gas to become fully ignited, it is neces-
sary to introduce the spark into the
cylinder little in advance. in order
TO fully ignite the charge by the time
the crank pin passes dead centre.
The faster the motor turns over the
more advanced must be the spark. The
volume of the spark is not changed by
advancing or retarding. but simply the
time of the spark in relation 70 posi-
ton OF the crank pin. When a motor
is turning over very fast the spark
may be advanced as much as 40 de
grees; that is to say, the charge will
begin TO ignite 40 degrees before the
crank pin reaches top centre.
As the speed of the mothor is reduced
the advance must be reduced, otherwise
the force of the explosion will be exert
ed on the piston too soon and the ten
dency will be TO reverse the direction
of the crank shaft. When the spark
is too far advanced a knock is notice
able. This is caused by the piston
acting against the explosive force.
The momentum of the hywheel carries
the piston through the cycle; other
wise, it would reverse.
