LOOKS LIKE RACER
PATTERNS FOR MAKING NEW
 BODY FOR POPULAR CAR.
Complete Transformation 10 Easy by the Employment of These Mate riais. if One Has Only a Little
 Familiarity With Tools.

The transformation of a well-known iow-priced touring car into a light two passenger car with lines suggesting speed, can be accomplished by any person who has a little familiarity with tools, and who will use as his guide a set of patterns now on the market. The materials required for making the change can be secured at any hardware store. The body for which these patterns provide is round ed, save at the radiator, and has straight lines that converge slightly toward the front, making the car look like a racer. The seat is set low, re- quiring the occupants to extend their feet straight in front of them. The shape of the hood and cowl tends to direct the wind over the heads of the passengers. Just back of the seat is the 1S-gallon gasoline tank which is oval in cross section. A saving in fuel and tires results from the fact that the body is very light. Just back of the gasoline tank are carried the spacious tool box and a spare tire. A searchlight is mounted above the cowl. Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Examining Valves.

An unusual case of backfiring and misfiring was recently reported to the writer. The owner of the car found that the motor would sometimes fire on four cylinders and at other times only two would be in operation. After check ing up on the carburetor adjustments and examining the spark plugs and the remainder of the ignition system, the trouble apparently disappeared.
 It returned again, however, and the ignition system and carburetor again were given as probable causes. It was not until the hood was lifted while the motor was misfring that the real cause was determined. The exhaust valves of cylinders No. and No. 4 were sticking at short intervals. When they were not sticking. the motor naturally operated we'll, but every few minutes one or the other or both would re- main open. The valves were removed and it was found the stems were bad ly bent New valves were installed and the trouble vanished.

CAMPBELL IS GOVERNOR
THE euPREME COURT DECIDES
 AGAINST HUNT.
Office Surrendered Without Writ From Court After Deeree-Justiee
 Cunningham Dissents.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Phoenix, Ariz.-The Arizona Su- preme Court returned decision holding that Thomas E. Campbell is the de facto governor of Arizona.
 It was signed by Justices Franklin and Ross. Justice Cunningham sub hitting a dissenting opinion. The ma jority opinion holds that the certifi- cate of election issued to Campbell is prima facie evidence of his election and that Le is therefore de facto gov ernor. The court issued no writ stat ing its belief that Governor Hunt would surrender the office.
 In the dissenting opinion Justice Cunningham opposed the writ on the ground that mandamus was not the proper remedy, two others being at hand, proceedings in quo warranto and the contest now pending. He fur. ther opposed the granting Of the writ on the ground that Mir. Campbell is de facto state tax commissioner, hay. ing been elected two years ago for a Ol ildN not resigned that office. If the con test should result in favor of Gov ernor Hunt, according to Justice Gun ningham, Mir. Campbell would be in the position of having held two offices at the same time in violation of the law.
 Quoting from High on "Extraordi' nary Legal Remedies" Justice Gun ningham holds that the effect of the writ of mandamus is to place two gov ernors in office.
 As to the contention of Justice Gun ningham that as tax commissioner MT. Campbell is ineligible to hold the office of governor, the majority opin' ion holds that "a tax commissioner is not prohibited from holding any other position of trust or profit during his term of office, but the effect of the provision of the statute is that if 6 member of the commission does so, he by that very act vacates his office ss tax commissioner"

ONE GIRL HE COULDN'T FOOL.
And "Turn Down" Made Reporter Feel He Had Lost the Confidence of
 the Others Also.

She was one of those twentieth cen- tury young women who knows how she gets what she has, and who keeps sharp eye out for laggards, especially of the opposite sex.
 A newspaper reporter, on his daily round in search of the small news of the county seat town, entered the de- partment store where she had begun work that morning. She watched him enter several notes in a scratch pad as a number of the girls gathered around and spoke in rather excited tones. When he had finished he made his way toward her, and by way of introduction said in his most pleasant manner:
 Do ycu have any news for the pa- per?'
 "Not much I' she answered. after casting a whitening look at the inquir- CT. There's nothing doing. You fel- lows on the newspapers go around to the stores every day and have the girls give you items, and then you go back to the office and write them up and get paid for 1t. But you can't work me-"
 And he wondered how 1t happened every girl on the floor was looking at him when he turned around for an avenue of escape.-IndianapoIis News.

Burned Olive Oil in Rear Light.

Two motorists attended dance at a suburban inn the other night, and when they started for the city early in the morning, found that there was no oil in the rear light on their motor car. A trip through the park and city streets without the rear light meant certain arrest. There wasn't garage in the neighborhOod, and no notorist conve- nient who would lend them oil. They had about concluded to camp out in the car all night when one of the pair ex- claimed: i've got U" and disappeared inside the inn. After a moments con versation with waiter in the cafe, he appeared with two decanters of olive oil. The oil was poured into the dry lamps, a match applied and after much sputtering of wicks and fiickering of flames, the motorcar disappeared down the highway, rear light blazing according to law.-Philadelphia North American.

At Sea In . Car.

Recently Chicago man hit upon . unique scheme of making his automo- bile furnish the motive power for his houseboat.
 This is accomplished by fitting spurred-sprocket wheels to the hubs of the cars rear wheels, and keying sim liar but larger ones to the paddle wheels of the boat, and connecting them by means of link-chain belts.
 When the automobile is jacked up so that the rear wheels are clear of the deck and the engine of the car is started it will run at the rate of six miles an hour.
 The automobile is guided on board by means of couple of grooved run ways, which run from the shore to the gangplank and are brought to . place on the aft deck immediately be- tween the paddle wheels.

oiuins Valve Caps Rust Preventive.

It sometimes happens that when the valves are round to require attention of some sort the caps have become so firmly rusted into place that it is im- possible to move them in any ordinary way. The best way to get the cap started Is to run the engine long enough for them to get heated through and then pour cold water in the hollow provided for the wrench.
 Immediately after applying the Wa ter set the wrench in place and give 1t jerk ora sharp tap with mallet. This will practically always start the cap. In this connection, however, pre- vention Is the best cure. If the threads of the valve caps are properly treated with rust preventive when they are put in place, this trouble will never oc- cur. Give the threads a coating of heavy oil and flake graphite and the clps will always be easy to start.
