viii you please explain what is
meant by back firins7 ..4 u. -..r.
Back firing usually implies that igni-
ton takes place in the cylinder before
the piston reaches the dead center Of
the compression stroke, thereby caus-
ing the crank shaft to reverse. If this
occurs when the operator is holding
the crank it produces a back kick
which is liable to dislocate the Shout
der or otherwise injure the arm.
The term back firing is also applied
to an explosion occurring in the cylin-
der during the inlet stroke of the pis-
ton. This would ignite the gas in the
intake manifold and mixing chamber
Of the carburetor. Should gasoline be
near the carburetor it may cause Sc
rious fire. ..,

cient number have been accumulated

mitted to own more than 81 600 worth

BLANKET SCARCITY:
NATION BUYS STOCK

Needs Of Uncle Sam to supply the
men in the military service are caus-
ing delay in the opening of annex
No. of the East Moline Y. NJ. C. A.
Weeks ago the association, through
W. z. Mack, extension secretary.
placed an order for more than two
hundred blankets for the beds in the
annex. Forty-six blankets were re-
ceived. Today the association re-
ceived word from the supply house
which had contracted to furnish the
blankets that the government had
bought up all the available blankets
in its stock, and that more can not be
had at this time. The same situation
mas been found with respect to other
lines besides blankets, and other
houses report the same condition.
strenuous efforts are being made
today to locate sufficient number of
suitable blankets to furnish the as
ISOLATION annex. It probably will be
several weeks before the annex is
ready for occupancy.

MISSION OF NATION Is
TO LEAD THE WORLD

THE United States has every rea-
son to be thankful this year, even
though engaged in the world war"
said Rev. P. G, Ladd of the Second
Congregation church in his sermon at
the union services held yesterday
morning at the First Baptist church.
Moline Not only have we received
untold material advances, but we
have the priceless heritage Of a demo-
cratic form of government. The fact
that we are in the war will enable us
to serve the world as a leader in high
Ideals and in bringing it back to God. &"
The speaker showed that it was
Germany's worship of the false gods of
wealth, cruelty, expansion and militar-
ism that plunged the world into the
present bitter struggle, and he said
that until that country returns 10 the
worship of the God Of truth. Justice
liberty and fair dealing. there could
be no enduring peace.
Continuing he said: Our allies have
not always been guided by Worship of
the true God. They too. followed the
false gods, the gods of war, imperial
ism and expansion. But they can give
thanks today that those gods are being
gradually dropped for the true God,
the God of justice and liberty.
Justice is the foundation of ma
tionai life and it is the foundation Of
peace. Justice means more wages tn
the worker and participation OF en-
ployes in the management of factories
Justice embodies spirit of unselfish-
ness. Justice will lead US to be more
fair in our dealings with the Negro. IT
will lead US to recognize the rights of
other peoples TO determine their own
destiny"
