There seems to be general belief
among motor car owners that graphite
has its application only as a lubricant
for gears, joints, etc, and not at all for
the motor This idea is absolutely er.
roneous; graphite is an excellent lubri.
cant for use in the motor. when the
flake form, the proper one, is used in
conjunction with the regular lubricant
There are certain forms Of lubricant
which employ graphite In various
combinations with oils. and these often
are excellent for the motor the graphite

NO POSSIBILITY OF
 A FLOUR FAMINE.
Mills of Minneapolis Are Running aA
 Full Capacity. /

New York, Sept. 14.-Alarmist re-
 ports of the possibility of a flour fam inc in the east are without founda- ton, according to statements made here tonight by Julius H. Barnes, president of the food administration grain corporation, and James F. Bell, general chairman of the milling di- vision of the food administration. Mills of Minneapolis are running now almost as full capacity, MT. Barnes said, while mills drawing supplies from the northwest by way of the
 Great Lakes will get their full quota after this week. Mills in the southeast and central west are operating on a normal basis, he declared
 MT. Barnes declared the vast ma jority of growers realize that the price fixed by the government is not only fair but generous. He explained that farmers in the northwest who ordinarily have rushed their crop to market at the earliest possible moment in the fear that the price might de- cline now understand there is no such danger and are taking advantage. of the fine weather to do their fall blow ing. This is a decided economic ad- vantage, he pointed out, and the per centage of fall work now completed exceeds similar preparations In any previous year. Conditions in the southwest are the same, MT. Barnes stated.
 MT. Bell declared no reports have been received which would indicate an alarming condition so far as wheat supplies are concerned.

You know, l suppose he continued. that a Mill S bomb is quite safe as iong as you hold it: but the moment 1t is loosed the lever flies off. which releases the f1ring-needle, and in a few seconds it explodes. It's surprising how men vary; some are born bombers. some soon learn, but some couldn't be bombers if they tried-not that they're towards: it's just case of mentality.
