FIND THE MISSING CYLINDER

If you are not veteran motorist
you may not have learned simple
way OF determining which cylinder is
missing. With the motor warm and
running, open the cut out and retard
spark and throttle to the limit. Craps
ing the handle of a hammer hold the
head so that it reaches from the metal
top of a spark plug to part of the
motor Listen to the motor and if
this shor circuiting of that plug
causes il to miss another beat, move
on TO the next cylinder, until you find
the one where short circuiting seems
to have no effect in the sound of the
motor. Changing that spark plug will
probably remedy your trouble.

Can You Distinguish
The Army Insignial

When you meet soldier on the
street you can tell at glance in what
branch Of the service he's enlisted If
you only note the color of his hat
cord. When you meet an officer 1t Is
very embarrassing not to know how to
address him. The designations are:
Blue cord, infantry. %
Red cord, artillery.
Yellow cord. cavalry.
Red and white cord, engineers.
Lavendar and gray cord, hospital
corps.
Buff cord, ammunition and supply
train.
Purple, white and blue, medical
corps.
Gold cord, officer of the rank Of
liutenant colonel or higher.
Gold and black cord, member lower
than lieutenant colonel.
Red, white and blue cord, member
O fthe officers reserve training school,
The rank of officers can be deter
mined by the insignia they wear, as
follows:
A second lieutenant has an apaul-
cite with no bar.
A first lieutenant has an apaulette
with one white bar.
A captain has an apaulette with
two white bars.
Major has an apaulette with gold
maple leaf.
Lieutenant colonel has an apaul-
ette with silver maple leaf
A colonel has an apaulette with u
silver spread eagle.
A brigadier general has an apaul-
cite with one gold star.
major general has an apaulette
with two gold stars.
A lieutenant general has an apaul-
ette with three gold stars. ..9
A general is exceedingly rare. Thus
| far in our history there have been
only two-Washington and Grant.

Make Special Effort to Eat Potatoes
October 2z to II, inclusive.
POTATO WEEK

Washington, ID. C.-Three purposes
will be accomplished by Nationwide
potato week in which every one will
make special effort to eat potatoes
during the week from October % to
27, according to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. The first Of
these purposes is to encourage the
eating Of the tubers because at that
time 1t Is expected that potatoes will
be the most available and economical
starchy food; the second is to save
wheat during this period; and the
third is to encourage the general use
of potatoes as a wheat substitute by
the American householder.
The department makes the follow
Ing suggestions in regard to the use
of potatoes at dinner:
Potatoes at Dinner-Potatoes may
be used freely at dinner the variety
which we all like being secured by
varying the ways in which potatoes
are best.
Many think potatoes are best when
prepared in the simplest ways, that
is, baked or boiled, but even so some
variety is possible, for they may be
baked in their jackets, or with the
skins rubbed or scraped off, or pared
and baked in the pan with meat, the
juice they absorb improving their
! flavor.
| The skins easily may be rubbed off

from old potatoes, provided they first

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS LIsTLEsS Dealings Were 30 to 40 Per Gent. Less
 Than on Recent Days.

New York, March s-A relapse to the nstless conditions of last month was the most striking feature of to- days market. Dealings fell away by 30 to 70 per cent. in comparison with the operations of recent days and the number of issues traded in suffered corresponding reduction. There was R concurrent dfminution of profession al activity in ultra speculative stocks, probably in consequence of the failure to enlist public interest in that quar- ter.
 General news pertaining to the f. nancial situation ranged from favor able to the reverse, the delay in a settlement of the armed neutrality controversy initiating against ship pings and kindred issues.
 Such changes as occurred in prices 0l important stocks represented little more than the caprices of the trad ing element. United States Steel and allied shares were steady to strong most of the session, with coppers. oils. motors, sugars and the usual equip ments, utilities and fertilizers.
 The more substantial advances, very few of which were fully retained. in cluded Texas Company, which rose , 8-< to 234. with three each for Inter national Agricultural Chemical prefer red and American Cotton Oil prefer red and 2 to 8 points for Gulf States Smelting, International Paper prefer red, Peoples Gas and Ohio Cas- the latter extending it's gain to six points at 108 just before the close.
 Rails continued to show heaVineSS. with further moderate liquidation of high grade issues, including Chicago and Northwestern and other grangers. New York, Chicago and St. louis sec ond preferred dropped 8 points to 49, on a single transaction. Total sales amounted to 54o, 900 shares.
 Operations in exchange were nomi- nal sterling and marks hardening, tenance of the prevailing discount rate by the Bank of England was ascribed to the reduced liability reserves re- ported by that institution.

INTEREST cENTERs ON
 YANkS' MILITARY TRAINING.
Frazee Enthusiastic Over New Plan War Department Promises to Aid in Every Way.

Rival American league owners will follow with unusual interest the re- ports from the Yankee training camp at Macon, Ga- Their interest will center in the pioneer work of Capt. T. L. Huston toward some general plan of military training for major league baseball players.
 Before he left for the south Satur- day the captain was in communication with Major Dorey or General Woods staff. Major Dorey, who had just re- turned from Washington, declared the war department was most enthusiastic over the plan of military training in dorsed by the American league, and that every possible aid would be lent toward perfecting it. The military au- thorities are now awaiting a detailed schedule of the spring training etands of all the clubs (including the exhibi- ton games on the way north), so that provision may be made in the way of drill sergeants for every day possible of the entire training trips.

GRAND CIRCUIT SCHEDULE
 DUE FOR SHAK-UP
Detroit Will CurtaiI Racins-Other
 Tracks Will Advance Dates.

According to present indications, the racing schedule of the Grand Circuit signed to at least four tracks will be changed and another track granted membership in the big Mile Track Harness association.
 Poughkeepsie wants a berth in the Grand Circuit: in fact. has appealed for chance to break into the sched- ule, and it is a generally understood that the Grand Circuit stewards are willing to accede to the Poushlkeepsie want, fssuch move is feasible.
 The whole ma tier hinged on the atti- tude taken by the officials of the De- troit Driving club. At the annual schedule meeting of the Grand tCircuit held recently at Atlanta, Detroit was granted a, two weeks meeting, starting the week of July 22. The Detroit Driv- ing club is not only willing Sut anx- ious to cut down her meeting to one-week stand, and only too happy any movement that would keep Pough- keepsie as an active member of the Grand Circuit.
 Kalamazoo will, therefore, move up and take the second week that was originally assigned to Detroit Detroit and Cleveland and Philadelphia will likewise move up one week and Poughkeepsie will then be inserted, taking the week of August 27.
 At first it was thought that the rac- ing situation at Cleveland, where the Forest City Livestock and Faid com pany does not care to cause conflict with the Cranwood and Rockport half mile ovals. might make a hitch. Presi- dent H. K. Devereux wired Secretary Win Kinnan to ascertain if the nov ing up of the Cleveland secont meet ing would cause trouble. Kinnan in reply, wired Devereaux that such a move would not cause a conflict be- tween North Randall and Rockport or Cranwood, and it is believed that in the very near future President Deve- reux will issue an official statement as to the revisal of the Grand Circuit schedule and the admittance of Pough- keepsie.
 The New Schedule.
 The revised schedule will be as fol- lows:
 Week of July 1s-cleveland CNorth Randall)
 Week of July 23-Detroit
 Week of July 20-Ka1amazoo.
 Week of August 6-Columbus
 Week of August 13 Cleveland North RandalD.
 Week of August 20 = Philadelphia (Belmont).
 Week of August 27-Poughkeepsie.
 Week of September = Hartford at (Charter Oak).

Great Pitcher of PhiiIies and Owner Come to Agreement After Confer ence.

Grover Cleveland Alexander, the worlds premier pitcher, signed a one year contract with the Phillies last Wednesday, and will go to St. Peters burg, Fla, on March to start~train- ing for the 1917 campaign.
 The salary differences between the great moundsman and President Will liam F. Baker were compromised af- ter a conference lasting several hours. Alexander is one of the highest sal and one of the best paid ban players in either major league. He will get s12.50o.
 :. The signing of Alexander to a PhiIlie. contract was accomplished only by the hardest kind of work on the part of Manager Pat Moran and friends of the pitcher and of the ball club who were anxious to see the men get together and settle a matter of the greatest importance to the future of Alexander as well as to the Phil- lies.
 Terms were agreed upon at con- ference held at the Walton and which lasted until the early hours of the morning. Alexander affixed his sig nature to the contract at the Phillies' headquarters Wednesday afternoon.
 After hearty handshalxing President Baker returned to his home in New York. Manager Moran accompan- jed him that far and then proceeded to his home at Fitchburg, Mass.
 Greater by $2.5o0 than that received by 'The Old Master" Christy Math- ewson, in his, palmiest days, is Alex anders salary for 1917. The hurler from the state that turned out Col. William Jennings Bryan. will be paid at approximately $156.25 an hour for actual service on the firing line.

flames Kolehmainen, the plucky lit- tie Finn, has practically decided to quit the American long distance run hing game, and thus one of the grand est little runners that ever donned spike will be lost to the track game. Kolehmainen has run some sensational races in this country, but never will American athletic followers who took in the Swedish Olympic games in 1912 forget the Ffnn's wonderful perform ances in the 5000 and 10000 metres and cross country championships races. These performances were un- questionably the greatest that Young Kolehmainen ever hung up.
