The Policeman and the Painting

Washington police, experienced in
handling big crowds at Presidential in
augurations and other celebrations in
the National Capital, recently set abou:
to find a way to revive persons who
have tainted on the street without
having to call an ambulance and send
them to a hospital. Now. says the
Popular Science Monthly for August.
every member of the force when on
duty in crowds carries in his pocket a
pill-box full of tiny glass tubes of
aromatic spirits of ammonia. The
tubes are about an inch long and
slightly more than an eighth of an
inch in dlLmenter. Each has a wrap
ping of absorbent cotton and over this
a silk gauze covering.
Slight pressure between the fingers
is sufficient to break the tube. The
ammonia is promptly absorbed by the
cotton about 1t, which also serves to
prevent the sharp particles of glass
from doing any harm. Held beneath
the nose of the person who has faint
ed. the fumes of the ammonia soon
revive her. The tubes are stored in all
the patrol boxes about the city and
are carried in patrol wagons and police

|AUTOISTS SHOULD REMOVE ALL CARBON
DEPOSITS and PROTECT VALVE SEATS
Cylinders and Piston Heads Are Also Affected
by Accumulation of Waste Matter
from Engine.

This may serve In a mild case, but 1t
will be hopeless against a solid cake
of carbon. The oxygen method en-
ploys oxygen gas, which Is forced into
the cylinder from a tank and Is light
ed to burn out the carbon deposits.
The one universally efficient method
Is by scraping.
II your engine has detachable head
you can do the scraping yourself
without difficulty. The prime requi-
site Is to remember just how to get
the parts together again after you
have finished.
There are on the market certain
compounds which are claimed to act
as q solvent for carbon. This is an
error In description; these chemicals
cannot dissolve the carbon, but some
of them do seem able so to loosen the
bdeposits that they are easily blown
! out by the exhaust. They simply cause
the carbon to release its hold on the
metal to which 1t clings.

| To grind the valves the first step
| is to remove the parts from the cylin-
ders. Begin by removing the pin or
other support from beneath the valve

must be compressed, which Is accom-
plished by means of a spring COM
presser, to be purchased at any ac-
cessory shop or made at home IL you
know how. The tension of the spring
removed. the support Is taken out.
Now the valve may be removed from
its guide. When the cylinder is fitted
with valve plugs, these must OF
course be removed. II the cylinder
head is removable. the work is just
as easy Owners of overhead valve
engines may require special instruc-

It may be put back in its proper

Before beginning the grinding op-
Grafton, stop up the opening into the
, cylinder with a piece of cloth, so that
the grinding compound may not fall
into the combustion chamber. Also
see that the tappet Is down as far

After this operation the valve Is re-

SAYS WAR DECREASES
THE SALE OF AUTOS
A. 7. O'Connor. of Detroit. Ad-
yances Novel Idea.

Because of the wonderful success
of the automobile industry in 1915 and
1916 that success has been attributed
to war profits" but now comes A.
T. O'Connor, secretary-treasurer OF
the Columbia Motors Company, OF
Detroit, with the assertion that the
war was a detrimental influence in
stead of a beneficial influence to the
success of the industry in these years,
and that the industry has now passed
a period of depression and has reach
ed what promises to be the banner
season in its history.
Mr.. O'Connor declares that the war
killed thousands of motor car sales
which in settled times would have
been closed. Thousands of new buy
ers held OF because of timidity await
ing more stable times. while owners
% cars who in ordinary times should
have been in the market for new
cars. decided to do with their ancient
models until the war ended"
These things have brought about a
condition which promises to make the
year 1871 the greatest twelve months
in point of motor car sales. in the
history of the business" says Mr..
O'Connor. THE thousands OF new
buyers who. in 1915 and 1916 held on
purchasing. plus the thousands Of
owners who have been making the
old car do. have grown tired of wait
inf until the war comes to an end.
They have also become accustomed
to war conditions after being agree
ably surprised to find prosperity on
the increase instead of on the down.
ward trend. These thousands will
buy in 1917-1s because that is the
psychological year for their buying.
The statement appeared the other
day that more motor cars were being
sold in Canada than ever before in
the Dominion's history. and war
profits was the cause given. But a
far more potent cause was the fact
that hundreds of Canadians who own
ed motor cars put on purchasing since
the beginning of the war. contenting
themselves with their old cars. With
the advent of 1917. they found that 1t
was desirable. if not necessary, to
have new cars, and these persons be-
gan to buy. They had been waiting
for the wars end before purchasing,
but they simply got tired of waiting.
And the same thing is occurring in
this country. Undoubtedly the year
1911 will be the most prosperous the
industry will have thus far seen"

MAXWELL TOURING
MAKES GOOD STAGE
Old Time Driver Finds New We
hicle Stands Test.

1t is comparatively easy for an
automobile TO work satisfactorily
on boulevards and paved streets OF
a city, but the real test of endur-
ance and economy of a motor car
is travel over rough or mountain
Gus roads. L. VI. Story has found
a Maxwell touring car will perform
as well when used as a stage coach
as it will when run only on city
avenues.
Story has driven a stage on the
Brawley Calipatria road for years.
Some time ago he discarded the
horses and coach for a Maxwell car.
The stage line is in California
near Los Angeles. The record of
the Maxwell stage car is equal to
the great worlds record made by
the famous nonstop motor car.
I've been highly pleased with the
Maxwell I have been using" de-
cared Story one day when he pull
ed into one terminal of his line. 81
bought a car last March, 1916. and
since that time have driven it near
ly $4,000 miles.
81 then traded it in for a new
car. During all this time my re-
pair bill has been remarkably low
and the mileage that 1 secured on
gasoline has been higher than most
owners of other makes of cars can
boast of.
In all this time I have had alb
solutely no trouble with the rear
axle. transmission, clutch or en-
gine.
The valves have been ground
twice and none of the engine bear
ings have been frightened up in all
this period.
II believe this record compares
we'll with the run which was made
by the famous nonstop car-which
covered 22,022.3 miles without stop
ping.

like all others any Maxwell will
duplicate any feat by another Max

Twenty Percent Increase in
Farm Land Prices is Seen
in Whitewater.

WHITEWATER. Ind, Aug. CT
There has been a twenty per cent in
crease in land values in this locality
within the past year. This astonish-
Ing increase in realty valuations has
affected almost every farm in a circle
drawn about this town as a center.
with q ten mile radius. according to S.
A. Addleman, OF Addleman and Jones,
real estate agents.
General increases in grain prices
and live stock, coupled with purely
local successful crop season are causes
of the unusually rapid advance. With
in this circle crops this year have
been rs a whole better than usual
Outside 1t, the crop average has fallen
below the standard OF the last ten
years.
Marked Up Stiffly
One farmer near this place followed
his 1916 corn crop with wheat These
two crops netted him a return Of $163
an acre, The farm could have been
bought year ago for slightly more
than $3.50 an acre. The owner has
decided that his valuation is too low
and has given it stiff marking up.
Another farmer sold a As bushel per
acre wheat crop for 1926 an acre and
raised his selling price accordingly.
With assurance OF two more years
OF high prices and successful crops,
slybody can buy and pay for a farm"

SHARP GAINS SCORED

NEW YORK, July 11.-While the
volume of business was not large. and
many traders are out Of the market for
the time being, the undertone was very
strong and higher prices were easily
esta blished.
Most of the business was in the line
of covering short sales, and the demand
from the bears was so urgent that higher
prices were readily established.
With the exception of a little weak
spell near the end of the first hour OF
the session. the general trend into the
afternoon was upward
Shorts seemed to think that covering,
for the time being at least. was the bet
ter wisdom. The advance was very
gradual, and. after the little weak turn,
seemed very steady by small fractions
up to the end Of the noon hour.
While the volume Of business was
light. and the market was at no time
active. the sales for the first two hours
might be taken to indicate 100000
share day.
