civil expenditure, and at least another $5OOOOO,OOO or $1OOOOOO,OOO for old age and military pensions"
 Other expenses, Lord Leverhulme said would bring the burden of tax ation probably to $68,5OO,OOOOOO a year. Continuing, he said: "Can we bear this load and carry the empire with its trade and commerce back into the calm safety of prosperity and sound finance? We can only do so provided all classes and both sexes, following the example set by our King and Queen, continue to make after the war the same sacrifices of ease and comfort, to continue to work as hard and with the same spirit of brother hood as has been displayed by all classes without exception during the war.
 "The effect of overlong hours of continuous work does not apply ex- cept to a very limited extent in the ease of machinery and mechanical utilities. Therefore, a solution of this one of our difficulties, can be best and most readily found by working our machinery for more hours and our men and women for fewer hours. We must have a six-hour working day for men and women, and by means of six hour shifts for men and women we must work our machinery twelve eighteen and twenty-fOur hours day."

 Two British soldiers, who were sent to find out what had been dropped, returned with a beautiful wreath nearly three feet in diameter. To the wreath was attached a note asking the British airmen to place it on the grave of the dead pilot.
 "The officer you have buried was my brother" said the note, q spent six happy years working in a London bank. I know you honor the dead. Please do this little service for me" The wreath was deposited as request ed on the grave of the dead German airman.

NO ROMANCE IN WAR~-,IT IS ONE
 DIRTY BUSINESS

MANCHESTER, Eng Sept. 2Oth, Correspondence Associated Press) - "There is no romance left in war; it is a dirty business, and every one of us who is in it is determined that when we finish this war, it shall be so thor oughly finished that nobody will ever start another"
 Thus writes a British transport cap tain in a letter to his local newspaper describing how he had just lost twenty of his men, although they were nearly a dozen miles behind the front, thru a shell from German long-range naval gun fifteen miles away. The shell was a chance shot. Here is the captains story:
 We have descended on a war of stink-pOts, of spectacIed chemists leer- ing horribly in obscure laboratories while they cOncoct the tortures of the damned, of medieval poisons, of flying death from the clouds. It is less like war than some elemental devilishness which man is as powerless to control as he was the volcanoes which over whelmed Pompeii or St. Pierre. It is not alone in the forefront of the bat tie where men stand face-to-face, but in quiet places far back, where death filings himself with outrageous vio- lence and suddenness. The dead men have never seen their foe; there has been no contest; no combat,
 'T witnessed an incident today the like of which l have seen before, the like of which is happening every day along these hundreds of miles of bat tie line. It is as well you should hear of it who have a quiet roof over your heads, who wait placidly under your umbrellas at the street corner for your tram car

Oil. cannot keep the spark plugs clean.
The trouble seems to be in the No. 2
cylinder more than in any OF the
others. OIL oozes from all the connec-
tons and from the valves of the cylin-
der. but the other cylinders do not
seem to be affected. The oiling sys-
tenn is Of the latest type. Can you
explain what the trouble might be?
If the oil does not affect the other
cylinders 1t Is reasonable to believe
that the oil level is not too high The
writer has known cases where a de-
fectiVe spark plug has caused lust
such trouble. If the No. cylinder
does not fire the oil working into this
cylinder is not burned and, of course.
Is forced out through the valves and
other places. Would suggest that Won
use new spark plugs or change them
around In order to prove whether this
is the real trouble or not. 1t is pos
siole that the rings are not prop
