Little Things You
Ought to Know
About Your Car
By ERNEST A. STEPHENS

This tank is so constructed that 'gaso-
lene is automatically drawn to it from the
rear tank by engine suction and furnished
from it to the carburetor by gravity.
This system permits of the use of an ex-
ceedingly short intake manifold or the
fitting of the carburetor directly to the
cylinder block, decided advantages when
the present low grade of commercial
gasolene is considered.
Has your engine detachable cylinder
head? If so, you have several things for
which to be thankful, and there is but one
in particular that you should watch
Take this possible drawback first-and if
you take off the head to remove carbon
deposits be careful in replacing it, making
a point of Tightening the holding down
nuts just little at time and all around,
so that all of them become actually tight
at almost the same time. Otherwise you
may have trouble, owing to the head not
seating properly. The owner of a de-
tachable head engine will find the process
of carbon removal greatly simplifed and
the fact that this method of construction
facilitates accurate manufacture tends to
produce smooth running engine with
equal compression in all cylinders.

~ WV ADA - )Tdcllcdlly every luOuOT-
Y ist is a reasonably expert driver, pos
sessing good working knowledge
of the various mechanical parts of his car,
in the sense that he is usually capable of
looking after fabrication and adjustment.
He is also competent to keep his car in
fair running order.
1t can not be expected, however, that
the average driver-owner should be ac-
quainted with all the engineering terms
that are, in many instances, scattered in
profusion throughout car catalogs and
which are also used with bewildering
fluency by majority of automobile sales
men, For these reasons it may not be out
of place to endeavor to simplify few of
these expressions in such way as to con-
vey to the non-technical mind practical
illustration of the actual meaning.
What is the real horsepower of your
engine? The official answer is that it is
represented by P2s s's, symbol which
means that if you square the diameter of
your engine cylinders in inches, multiply
the result by the number of cylinders, and
divide the product by 2,5, you get figure
representing the power developed by your
engine.
AS matter of fact, you don't get any
thing of the kind, unless your engine de-
livers its rated horsepower at piston
speed of thousand feet minute. Ten
years ago this speed probably represented
fair average; but to-day, with its high
speed engines, the case is very different,
and as a matter of fact your engine prob
ably develops twenty per cent. or more
horse power in excess of that shown by
its official rating.
Do you know what is meant by Hotch-
kiss drive? Very many cars are now fitted
with Il drive of this type. With it the
torque arm, fitted to prevent the rear axle
from twisting, has been eliminated, and
such twist is taken up by the rear springs,
through which the drive is transmitted.
With this drive universal joint is fitted
at each end of the unincosed propeller
shaft, and it is of interest to observe that
the popularity Of the Hotchkiss drive is
marked by the great increase in the use
of nearly fiat semi-elliptic rear springs on
1917 models. These springs are usually
Of special design, to stand the twisting
strains to which they are subjected.
Is your car fitted with a spiral bevel
final drive? This type is now fitted to
practically all of the higher priced cars,
taking the place of the ordinary straight
bevel. 1t is quieter in operation, and pos
sibly its greatest advantage lies in the fact
that with it there is greater amount Of
metal in actual contact at Il given time
than would be the case in straight bevel.
In the latter there is but one tooth in
actual engagement, while in the spiral
bevel there may be portions of three teeth
in contact at given moment. Spiral
bevel gears permit of easy and accurate
adjustment, wear is reduced, and damage
| through sudden shock is not likely.

Eliminating the Cowl Tank

no you know how the vacuum system
~ of gasolene feed operates? This sys-
tenn, in one or another of its forms, is now
standard equipment on about three OF
every four different models of American
make. Its use eliminates the cowl tank,
thus giving more room IN the driving
compartment and enabling the retention
of the rear main tank, without any of the
complications entailed by the use of Il
pressure fed fuel system. In this system
an auxiliary fuel tank is located between
the main tank and the carburetor-usu-
ally in q convenient position under the
hood.

258 FIRST NUMBER OUT
Secretary Baker Takes Out Ini- tiaI Misunderstanding Con- tinueS All Day Friday and
 Throughout Night.
Long List of Numbers Given in Order as Drawn, From Which Those Who Will Be Called to Serve In First Army Will Be
 Selected.

Washington, July 21.-Thc drawing for the big United States army was not completed until early Saturday morning The drawing began Tt 8 40 Friday morning, and continued throughout the day and night. Alto gether 10,500 numbers were drawn from the big fish bowl It was officially stated that the first 1000 numbers drawn represented more than 1000,- oo0 men, and it is not considered probable that men representing any number drawn after the first 2.000 will be called before any exemption board for the first army. The first eight numbers were drawn respective ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator Chamberlain of the senate military committee, Congressman Dent of the house military committee, Senator Warren and Representative Kahn, ranking minority members of the sen ate and house military committees; Mai. Gen fasller II. Bliss, acting chief of staff of the army Maj Gen Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of A'it etA my anu idioI 'EtiltIui Met dlut adjutant general of the army. After the first eight numbers had been drawn the regular teIIers took hold and worked through until the long task Was completed.
 In only Il small number of the larg- est districts will the numbers above few thousand affect registrants. Of the 4,557 registration districts throughout the country the largest has something over 10,200 numbers. while the smallest has only about l$1. and the average is about 5000. As the drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were withdrawn before one low enough 10 affect the smallest district came out. It was 126, placing 4,55I men number cd 12G on their local lists as l57th in order of liability
 The following list shows the num- bers in the order in which they were drawn. The first number in each case represents the order in which the sec ond, or red-ink registry, number was taken from the bowl Four numbers are given in each line. Beginning with the first number, which was drawn by Secretary Baker.

MILLIONS OF GERMANS
Big Exodus of Teuton Reservists Go
to Mexico.

Washington March 22.-There are
about nine million persons of German
stock in the United States, according
TO information obtained from the cen
sus bureau of the department of COM
merce. The 1910 census shows that
there were in the United States at that
time S,232,615 persons of German ex-
traction distributed as follows:
Born in Germany, 2,501,1S2; born
in America of German parents, 3,911,
SAT; born in America and having one
parent born IN America and another
in Germany, 1,S69,590.
OF the 2,501,1S2 persons horn in
Germany, 1,27S,567 were males 81
years old and over. OF these $50, 007
were reported as naturalized, $1,000
as having taken out their first papers
and 127,103 as aliens. The enumera-
tors were not able to ascertain any
facts as to citizenship of the remain
ing 17O,527.
Since the relations between Ger
many and this country became strain
ed the number of males over 81 born
in Germany has greatly decreased by
reason of the fact that thousands of
these Germans, most of whom are
German reservists, have gone to Mex
leo. This exodus of German reservists
into Mexico is one of the most vital
matters" this country has to consider
in case of hostilities. according to a
high department official.

lister of Justice, A. F. Kerensky, in an
interview with the correspondent of
the Associated Press, decried all ru-
mors of friction or discord between
the working men, soldiers and the new

of the radical working mems party,
emphatically denied that there was
any latent dissatisfaction in his or any
other party which might burst forth
into fresh revolt He said:
I'm my appointment to this post you
have the best pledge that the radical
elements of the nation are in harmony

you that every difference has disap

country stands behind the government

ions exist but each conflict has re-
suited in a firm agreement on all the

The minister said that all SUPPOSE

men were opposed to carrying on the
war were without basis.
No Chance for Separate Peace.
There are of course elements thru

pledges of support to the White House.
Among those who are responding
to the demands for aggressive action
against Germany are members of the
little group of willful men" charged
by President Wilson with placing the
United States in Contemplate light
before the world, as a result OF fill
clustering tactics in the last congress.
owing to the nature of the present
situation, it is believed the fight for
organization will be short lived in the
house 1t is believed probable that
some course of action will be agreed
upon by the leaders before April 2.
The president can address congress
before the house organizes but until
it organizes no action could be secured
on any resolution the president might
ask. 1t IS for this reason that efforts
now are under way by both parties to
make all possible speed, and some sac
rifices, if necessary, to expedite organ
ization of the house.
But even while the president was
considering his War address the at
tention of officials and diplomats was
today directed sharply to internal de-
VelopmentS in Germany. With reports
of increasingly serious food riots and
growing restivenesS among the Ger
man peoples, came rumors of possible
peace moves, emanating from Teuton
quarters
Comment of the entente press was
also read with an eye to distinguishing
any earmarks of a general weakening
all thru Europe to the pressure for
peace.
While confident that the entrance
of the United States into the struggle,
will probably serve either directly or
indirectly to materially shorten the

toward peace are registered.
The Russian situation is being
watched closely now that the United

To Recognize Russ Republic.
For many months there have been
elements at work in Russia of which
the United States was aware and
which. had they been successful,
would have created almost insur-
mountable difficulties in the path of
this country's entrance into the war.
Revolution disposed of these sin
lister elements, but concern is held now
that there may be still further move
ments among the more radical revolu-
tionistS.
The order to arrest the czar has
created uneasiness here, but full rec
ognition will be accorded the lew Rus

FIRST CAVALRY BATTLE
French and German Horsemen Meet
for First Time Since 1914.

Berlin, March 22.-German cavalry
is now in touch with the French and
British mounted troops which have
been IN action for several days in the
territory evacuated by the Germans,
so that for the first time since the fall
of 1914 cavalry on both sides is being
employed on the western front. This
is regarded here as an indication that
the events are taking place and that
a real battle is in prospect, trench
warfare being over for the time on
this part of the front.
The French and British attempted
to use cavalry on the Somme last
year as we'll as the time of the Cham
payne offensive but the employment
of these forces in the face of en-
trenched troops with machine guns
resulted in very heavy losses. The
present situation is a different one
because neither side is now protected
