Undesirable Ulster
10 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In an article upon "The Position OF
Irish Workers in the Present Crisis" by
James Larkin he makes the statement that
there Is more poverty in Ulstcr-that is to
say, not only economic but intellectual and
spiritual poverty-than in the other three
provinces combined"
II this is really the case why does il seem
so essential to insist upon including such
degraded section n the demand for Home
kule! AS the great majority wish Home
Rule and can now have it any day by leaving
out the only undesirable part, why not take
II and commence to act upon the plans for the
new government at once? INQUIRER.

\SEES BIG FUTURE

W, c. Anderson of Detroit
Electric Fame Believes High

New and unconquered fields for

Istry looms up brighter on the hor-
(zon OF the coming year than ever
before in its history.
This, In word, sums up the view

neer In the electric motor car in

Its fortunes to the present day and
III large measure has directed the
many rapid strides that the electric
automobile industry has made.
To-day. as never before, the cleo
trlc motor car is taking its proper
place In the mind of the public"
says Mr. Anderson. 1T has already
become recognized as the enclosed
car par excellence and as the all
around family automobile.
More than that, the electric has
reached place where il now is
Wlthln the reach of the family which
formerly had to be contented with a
gas car for reasons of price. There
ls no question but that price affects
safes and from the very nature of an
electric. It's expensive mechanism

HINTS TO THE CAR OWNER.

The man who can find trouble on
a car and fix 1t In few minutes is to
be congratulated. but the man who
anticipates trouble and so kccps il
away is nothing short of n genius.
Yet II is simply n matter of knowing
what is likely To happen and then
preventing it from happening. For
Instance, such q man grinds valves
before they begin to leak compress
sion and SO lose power.
lie is the man who touches up the
points of the circuit breaker or inter-
rupter occasionally, so they viii not
become so corrodcd that they cannot
make good contact, Hence the pri-
mary current is always running and
so good spark Is produced. This is
merely a matter of drawing piece
of fine emery cloth through the gap
a few times with the points closed
BY this means the oxide is prevented
from forming in sufficient quantity
tC stop ignition.
lie also keeps close watch on his
storage battery. He sees that the
electrolyte covers the plates at all
times and adds distilled water at least
once every two weeks. He also tests
the strength of the clectrolyte, noting
II it is kept up to its fun strength by
the charging system. If not. he has
IL attended to before 1t gets serious.
He keeps close watch on his am
meter, as that is the pulse of the
whole electric system. He knows Just
what amperage each lamp and COM
bination of lamps should draw, just
what amperage should be going to
battery at certain speeds of the en-
gine. n anything Is wrong he finds
and fixes It.
He keeps a supply of inner tubes in
the car a supply of patches, Jack,
tools of all kinds. and the tires on his
spare rims fully inflated. His oil sup
ply is kept up. his air system does not
leak, and he never runs out OF gaso-
line. In fact, his car always seems
to be tuned up and running as it
should. DO not think this is q ianci-
full picture. Such men exist, Try
to be one of them.

Smith of the American steamer Alas

cording to the pilot who brought the
ship into the harbor. The U-boats,
Captain Smith said, were detected
lurking beneath the surface of the
sea by observers Of the aircraft pa
troll.
The airplane signalled for trawlers
and circled about directing the plac-
ing of the nets. In little while the
nets were drawn completely about
the unsuspecting submarines which
were hopelessly enmeshed and
brought to the surface. They were
lying side by side in the harbor OF
La Pallice when the Alaskan sailed

1T is a matter Of money as you

liable in the end, but I need the cap
ital to margin my stock holdings and
that do not seem to have the power

ooh, dear! if I we're only a year
older" sighed Lura, "and could do
what I please with all the money that
will soon be mine"
Even if that were so, would have
too much pride and independence to
accept money help from you, good
friends as we are"
There was deep concern and SYM

WiCkham was awaiting him. He
was bland, civil and most friendly.
He listened to Gwynn's story of his

money required, but I have a friend,
a Mr.. Purdue, who will be impressed
favorably with your proposition on

You may read it.
GWynn's face flushed with emotion
and gratitude as he perused a brief
missiye commencing him warmly to
Mr.. James Purdue.
"You have done me the favor of

declared Gwynn warmly, and as he
left the room Lura, with shining eyes,
beckoned him into the little reading
room where she had been writing let

she exclaimed, as she read the letter.
"Oh, dear! how careless he is. He

the letter to Gwynn and warmed his
heart with hopeful words showing
her sincere soIcitude for his well
