VALVE CARE

The principal disadvantage charged against the valve-i -in-head motor, es pecially those of the valve cage type. is the difficulty of properly cooling the valves. This difficulty is not pro nounced in the case o- the inlet valves, because the incoming gas is cool and keeps the valves fairly cool. but it does mean that the exhaust will need ire quent grinding. In many cage type motors the cages must be watched to see that they do not turn around and thus cut off the inlet or exhaust.

GARBAGE CANS FUR
 ONE WHO OBJECTS
 ID DRILLS AND WAR

He didn't want to fight because he was a conscientious objector and his mother didn't raise her boy to be soldier" The military authorities didn't want to force drills and manual of arms upon him so they let him empty the garbage cans around Camp Funston. Now he feels that he has been mistreated and is endeavoring to get out of camp altogether He has made a number of appeals to various founts of inflUence anu authority, but he is still at Camp Funston.
 The singular case of this non-com- batant is one of the few of that char acter which have come to the attention of the Maricopa county local eXemp- ton board. In California they were less cOnsiderate and wrote him up in the newspapers, he told the local board, but the Maricopa county officials feel sorry for htm and have requested that his name be withheld
 In his scramble to separate himself from all things militaristic, this ob- iector has laid his case before the su- perintendent of one railroad, who. it was darkly hinted to him had influ- ence with the government" before one minister residing in Pomona, Califor- mia, and finally before President Will son. The president was unable to grasp the mans viewpoint so sent back word that he affirmed the decision of the Maricopa county local exemption board and implied that he guessed as long as Mir.
