AVOIDING MUFFLER
EXPLOSIONS,
M ALBERT L. CLOUGH

c. W. G. asks: Is it true that the
use OF ether for printing cold
motor may lead to an explosion in
the muller which may burst It
Answer: Yes. this accident has
occurred more than once and has also
occurred in connection with engines
being started on gasoline printing.
Sometimes when an engine is too
freely primed, 4 mixture may be
found in the cylinders which Is, at
first. too rich to be equitable. As tho
engine IL cranked, this very rich
vapor is pumped through che ex-
haust piping into the muller. becom-
ing somewhat diluted by minsling
with the air therein and assuming
an explosive character. At tho Same
time, air Is being taken into the
cylinders, through the carburetor,
and this dilutes the over-rich
cylinder charges until they become
equitable and dEe when. under GER
tain conditions. the burning cylinder
gases escape through the exhaust
valves and piping into the muf'ier
and explode the mixture therein,

Lowden of Illinois shows how easy is
the way for a. real executive to get a

The governor of Illinois squelchcd
the plan of the peoples council for
holding a convention in Chicago even
though he knew that that city was the
hotbcd of pro-Germanism in the

brushed the burgomeister. Thompson

GENERAL CADORNA

General and Senator Count Luigi
Giovanni Antonio Carlo Giuseppe Ca
dorna, the chief of the general staff Of
the Italian army and the man upon
whom Italy depends to wrest Italia
lrredcnta" from the Austrians. at
which task. according to the latest re-
ports. he is proving very successful.
was born in PallanZa on September l.,
1850.
His father, Rafaele Cadorna, was n
famous soldier and authority on mill
tary science and from his boyhood
Luigi was trained for the profession OF
arms. At the age of 10 he entered
the Milan military school, and on his
eighteenth birthday. just 40 years ago
today. he became a full fledged soldier
with the rank OF second lieutenant.
When his father. then a general, led
the army which marched on Rome.
young Cadorna accompanied him. This
memorable expedition resulted In the
capture Of the Eternal City. which
thenceforth became the capital OF
united Italy. The elder Cadorna thus
became one of the foremost of Italian
military heroes. and 1t Is the hope OF
the present day Italians that the son
will complete the great work of con-
| quering that part Of Italy which Is
still unredccmed.
The future chief of the Italian army
early attained fame as military ex-
pert. and by the time he was e5 he
was the author of several pamphlets
on military geography. In 1888, with
the rank of major. he was attached ia
the army corps commanded by the
brilliant Count Pianeil He was sent
on many expeditions to the frontier. OF
which he made a close study. 1t has
been said that General Cadorna knows
the location Of every house and tree in
the neighborhood of the Austro- Italian
frontier, and, while this is probably
an eAaggeration. his knowledge OF the
, district Is little less than uncanny. Ca
| dCrna reached the rank of major gen.
| eral In 1898. He became chief of the
Italian general staff in 1914, and Inn
mediateiy set about IA thorough tSorl
ganization of the army. which IL now
