GAU8E MANIFOLD SCREENS
WATER INJECTION.

GAU8E MANIFOLD sCREENS-
WATER INJECTION.
n. A. l. ashs: % Is it beneficial
to at gause screen between the
carburetor and the intake piping
with. the idea Of breaking up the
drops Of fusl7 CO. What u your
opinion Of the vatsr injecting de-
vices that are said to prevent the
formation Of carbon deposits7
Answer, {1) It seems reasonable
that sauxe screening at this point
should catch part, at least, OF the
drops Of gasoline and spread them
out. 80 that the air can act upon
their contained fuel and evaporate
It. The screen is usually made in
the form Of cone pointed up the
intake, 80 as to obstruct It as little
a. possible. Sometimes nest OF
several cones Is used to- give more
surface from which evaporation Of
the broken-u drops can take place.
~ Water injection has been gen.
orally used for sometime past in
kerosene and other heavy oi en-
E,nes to prevent pre-ignition, to give
better pressure distribution on the

vent deposits. Present-day gasoline
has approached so far toward kero-
sene in its qualities that it would
seem reasonable that water injec-
ton might be found similarly useful
in automobile engines. The theory
is proposed that the evaporation OF
the injected water into steam from
the piston heads and other hot
parts is unfavorable to the lodge
ment OF carbon. We should not hes
fitatei to try one Of these devices.

Answer: The more turns the en-
CINE makes to produce one turn of
the rear wheels the lower is the
gearing of the rear axle and vice
versa. The statement that a car Is
geared Al means that the engine
makes four revolutions to one of

Ignorance of the everlasting prin-
ciples which guide human affairs holds
many who are capable, with strong
leash. Nothing so constricts the
stream Of life as ignorance; it escorts
us on dead and straight march, from
the cradle to the grave.
Money does not bring happiness;
the love of it creates misery and sus-
picion. When man hugs his money
close he suspects everyone Of wanting
it; consequently he distrusts all who
would be kind to him. The entire dis
regard of this standard of commodity
values is liable to make one undesir-
able unless the disregard is backed by
practical philosophy. There is dam,
nation or bliss in all powerful factors.
There is no sight more pitiable than
selfish soul grown old; we stand be-
tween compassion and contempt,
thinking of the wonderful opportunity
lost. The old stingy soul, with every
vestige Of generosity withered and i'm
potent cries out for touch of some
thing other than the hard gold.
Every generous impulse ought to be
nourished, kept from over-running the
garden of prudence; and every selfish
sprout should be ruthlessly torn, by
the roots before it flowers and sours
the milk of human kindness. No miser
can contemplate the happiness of
heaven in other terms than that of
golden streets. Only the generous can
see gold so commonly used.
Between that prudence which
prompts man to make sure of food,
shelter and raiment and trusting to
blind chance there is wide avenue of
pleasure which comes from seeing
money go with no promise of 6 per
cent, but the assurance of making the
world better and some thousands
happy.
Selfshness makes the widow moan
thousand times more for the depart
ed, it stiles ambition in the promising,
keeps back the population of the earth,
makes liars of some men, kills pride in
the appearance of children, makes a
peacock of the purse holder, causes
some to damn their race and send girls
to destruction for silks. The selfish
man is an egotist and a fool, in the
most contemplate sense.
Before any work Of quality and
lasting force can be accomplished it
must have for it's basis unselfshness.
Unselfishness unlocks the door to fame
and writes names upon the book of
life and happiness.

VERBENA

The verbena is q low-growing an
nual, with a decumbent or creeping
habit. The flowers are borne on
terminal or lateral shoots, which I'LL
themselves from five to seven inches
off the ground, and when grown In
mass the plants will form mat when
in full bloom will give the soil the ap-
pearance of having q carpet OF How
ers. Because Of the ability or the
plant TO form compact growth ana
produce q wealth of flowers over
long period, the verbena is frequently
used as n bedding plant where carpet
bedding effects are desired. The con-
trasting colors in the varieties when
come true from seed allow of securing
pleasing combinations of cOlors which
are effective where lowgrowing plants
can be used. The length of stem ana
the texture Of the flower are such that
the verbena is of value for bouquets
and table decorations. The verbena
can be used with good effect in beds,
borders, mounds, and in window
boxes.
While the verbena grows readily
from cuttings and from layers, seed
