Corn prices went upgrade from the

focused chiefly on Lloyd Georges
statement that there was now no fear
of the submarine menacc. Buyers
drew the inference that ocean trade
would be greatly facilitated. and that
much more corn than had been figured
IN would find an outlet overseas. In
this connection. sharp notice was
taken of remarks by Chairman
Wheeler of tho Illinois council of de-
Tense emphasizing the shortage of
wheat. The better tone of the New
York stock market tended further to
strengthen corn. About the only
check on the advance came from
weather conditions likely to improve
the quality of the new crop.

clonaed MuHIers.

The poor performances Of n motor
may be caused by a clcegcd muller,
and by increasing the back pressure
the power OF the engine is inevitably
lcsscncd. The muller certainly ought
to be cleaned out once year. The
muller is filed with metal convolu-
tons. which gather dirt and carbon,
blocking the passage and hindering the
escape Of the exhaust gases. If the
stoppage reaches n sufficient degree of
completeness there is danger that an
i'll timed explosion may extend back
to the muller, which acts like closed
explosion chamber aud blows it to
atoms. The clogging Of the muller Is
assisted by the use Of too much oil In
the engine. This excess OIL finds its
way back and. getting on tie passages
and parts. acts as n catch-all for car
bon aud dirt-New York Post.
