New York's BARGE Canal.

New YOrk's barge canal promises to
be invaluable as a means of cheap
freight transportation and also to stim-
ulate other interests. Syracuse will
have barge canal terminal and the
city is considering the construction Of
belt line railroad to accommodate
the traffic to and from rail to water
routes. This is significant as to what
is likely to follow the opening of the
barge canal and operation at full ca
pacity. The movement is also sugges-
tive of the close relations that may be
established between railroad and
canal. The old idea Of uncompromis-
ing hostility has been exploded, de-
clares the Troy Times. Each can make
use of the other in developing traffic
that will represent valuable service to
the public, and the outcome will be ex-
pansion Of freight-carrying facilities
to meet the requirements of a country
in which industrial progress, great az
it has been, is slight compared with
what is to come.

dence they will accept, for they are
responsible for all the money paid
out.
Some paying tellers are more par
ticular than others. Thus some Of
them are willing to accept personal
letters and cards for Identification
purposes. But there are others.
For instance, a man presented an
order recently calling for $3.50. 1t was
only a small amount, of course, but
the paying teller was very particular.
First he asked the man his name and
the amount the order called for. When
these questions had been answered ne
asked the bearer if he had any letters.
Some were shown him. Then he want
ed to know if the bearer could pro-
duce any cards with his name on
them. These were shown, but the tell
or was still doubtful.
"Let me see that signet ring on your
finger, please" he said.
The wearer held up his finger so the
teller could read the initials. 1t took
the latter a minute or so to decipher
the monogram, but this seemed to con-
vince him that the wearer was the
person he represented himself to be,
for he Immediately wrote out an order
on the cashier for the amount of the
money order.

w n the East, the eyes of Europe
n have been centered on Bagdad.
For myself, the big event recalls
small personal experience, a
visit l paid some years ago to the
city of the Caliphs, via Damascus and
Palmyra, says a writer in the London
Graphic. Except for the caravans that
Palmyra has but few visitors. The
journey there entails many difficulties
and dangers; but we were anxious to
see this city, mobile in situation, in
wealth, in sunshine and pleasant wa
ters," as Pliny calls it, and, having
made all necessary arrangements for a
camp and escort of soldiers, we start
ed early one morning from Damascus
by the road which is still called the
Zenobian Way.
Palmyra, or 'Tadmor in the Wilder
ness" was built by Solomon, as we
read in the Book of Kings, and there
can be little doubt that the ruins now
before us occupy the site, as they bear
the name of the city founded by the
great King of Israel. But it is to a
woman-Zenobia, the Queen of the
East-that Palmyra owes its high po-
sition in the annals Of antiquity. The
virtue, the wisdom, and the heroic spir-
it of that extraordinary woman have
never been surpassed.
Her end was tragic: the Romans in
vaded her country in 270, defeated her,
and carried her a prisoner to Rome
there, covered with jewels, she was led
by a golden chain along the Via Sacra,

HERE'S A NOVELTY
IN CAR NAME PLATES
Hal Company Introduces a
Distinct Innovation to
American Motordom.

The Hal Motor Car company 81
Cleveland has introduced to Ameri-
can motordom n new vogue In name
plate styles. The new name plate ue-
sign of the Hal-Twelve differs from
those adjoining the radiators OF pres
ent-day automobiles in that II DIES
not incorporate the initials Of the con-
cern, nor does ii symbolic the maine
of the car.
In designing the new name plate
for the smooth powered twelve, Mr.
Macmillan Fyscher, the artist. spent
IA great deal OF time and thot on how

nifty and expression of quality and

used in other motor cars of American
make showed him that in design
every one had followed practically the
same lines. They either used the
name of the car in "A specially oe-
signed lettering, used the initiais y,
the car builder in some manner. or
used an Illustration, such rs a crown,

Piles. He found that the orests of the
old English and French families In
corporated In their designs, In most
instances, the qualifications of the
family for recognition among the So
ciety OF the day And the Same is
true OF the totem pole designs OF the
Eskimos, the rugs OF the Arabian
tribes. the coats-of-arms of nations,
and the designs on the tombs of an
cient Egyptians.
So In the name plate of the Hal
Twelve are incorporated the seVri'
leading qualifications of this "car u.
rare ability" for leadership and recog
milton among tho better cars of
American or foreign make.
The motif of the Hal name plato
shown above is as follows: The eagle

why 1t does this and how to remedy It?

A. Flooding is due to the gasoline
which has condensed on the manifold

stopped. II does no harm. and can
not be rcmedicd.
Q. Please tell me what the differ
ence between a high tension and O

A. The low tension magnetic gc,i-
crates II low voltage current and re-
quircs n separate coil to transform the
low voltage tn high voltage. The high
tension nagnctO has u dOWblc wiring
on the RImature, which acts as the
coil so that II generates a high volt

In my clutch, which increases as

loud, sounds like a trolley, when II

is the cause and the remedy?
p j. MEG.
A. Possibly the clutch bearing. uI
the tlIrOwout collar Is worn. Thi;
would cause grinding noise. but tho
fact that II increases when Won shift
to the lower speeds. makes me believe
that the noise comes from the trans
