Watch Chains Disappear.

A London (England) West end Jew
eler says that two things seem to be
passing out Of fashion owing to the
war-watch chains and cuff links.
Both these articles were on the
wane before the war, but wrist
watches, being essential for officers,
brought them quickly to the fore, and
civilians have been rushing to buy
them, in many instances selling their
watches and chains to buy the handler
time piece.
So with links. The soft double cuff,
which was such nuisance to get them
into, began their downfall and then
khaki shirts made to button at the
wrist completed 1t. Now one sees even
the best dressed men with shirt cuffs
buttoned at the wrist, and the links
are put away in the drawer with the
''has beens."

VALVES MUST Be
ADJUSTED RIGHT
Engine Will Not Run Correctly if
They Are Not Given Proper
Attention.
LIFTERS OFTEN NEGLECTED
When Motor Loses Power Trouble Is
Usually Laid to carburetor or y
Faulty Ienition-Wise Plan to
Examine and Reset.

Proper adjustment of valve filters is
vital to the car if it Is to give maxi
mum efficiency. If they are not prop
erly adjusted the best engine in the
world will lose power. Because they
are not right out in plain sight the
valve lifters are many times neglected
until they force themselves to the own
er's attention.
Ordinarily when the motor loses
power the fact is attributed either to
the carbureter or to faulty ignition
and many times it is hard to convince
the owner that it is valve lifts which
are accountable for his inability to
climb hills and obtain the speed on the
level to which he is accustomed.
Examine and Reset.
They become noisy, due to the fact
that the distance between the lift and
the cam becomes too wide. BY stop
ping the motor, removing the valve
plates and shaking them up and down
one may locate the ones out of adjust
ment. Sometimes more than one is at
fault and it is good policy to exam
inc and reset all while about it. Ex-
anime the adjustment carefully to I'M
derstand it, for much damage may be
caused by turning the wrong nut. One
Is the locking nut which must be
loosened first. The adjusting nut is
then set to the right distance and the
locking nut again set up.
The opening should approximate 1-64
of an inch for exhaust, and $1,000
inch for intake valves. An ordinary
business card is a good gauge for the
exhaust valve, while piece Of note
paper will serve for the inlet.
Clearance Too Great.
If the valve clearance becomes too
great the valves open late and close
early. Since they should move exactly
as the designer intended, 1t is evident
that the engine will lose power If both
ends are cut off. If the clearance is
not enough the engine will lose COM
preston and with it great deal Of
power. This is due to the fact that as
the engine heats up the valve stem
lengthens. AS they grow longer they
use up the space between the, valve
stem and the valve litter. If the space
Is too small the valve stem rests on
the valve litter AS it lengthens the
head of the valve is lifted off its seat
In the cylinder, opening the valve and
so losing compression.

HANDY FOR CUTTING RIvETS
Proper Tool to Use Is Sharp chiseI---
Back Up Head With Some
Heavy Weight.

The proper tool to use in cutting out
rivets that hold together thin metal
parts is sharp chisel. The head of
the rivet should be backed up with a
weight of some kind so as to prevent
tearing Of the adjacent metal. An
oxyacetylene torch is the quickest
method Of cutting off rivet heads.

EX-CZAR'S DEATH
 IS NOT CONFIRMED.

London. June 2S.-At the Russian embassy it was declared today that no official confirmation had been re- ceived of the report that the former Russian emperor had been assassin ated. If the report is true, the crime is not a political one, according to the embassy officials, but merely an act of brutality on the part of an an- gry guard.
 Regarding the unexpected appear ance in London of Alexander Keren- sky, the former premier of Russia, the embassy said it knew of his pres ence here for several days, but chose to let him take his own time for re- vealing himself.
 A dispatch from Berne today said that the court-marshal at Damstadt, Germany, has received a telegram kigned "Tchitcherin, announcing that Nicholas Romanoff, the former Rus sian emperor, has been assassinated, says a dispatch to the Matin, from Berne. The assassination took place between Ekaterfnburg and Perm.
 The dispatch from Berne gives weight to the increasing number of reports of the assassination of the former Russian emperor. Damstadt is the capital of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the former Empress Alix A is sister of the reigning grandduke. It is not unlikely that the Russian government through Foreign Minis ter Tchitcherin would inform the

Hessian court of the death of Nichol- as Romanoff before making it pub lie through regular channels.
 Berlin has reported recently that the former emperor was being re- moved from Ekaterinburg to Mos COW. Perm is on the northern rail- road route from Ekaterinburg to Moscow. Ccecho-Slovak troops con- trol the southern route and it is probable that if the Bolsheviki did take the former emperor from Ekat- erinburg they took him by the rail way running through Perm.
 The former Russian empress was last reported as being in Ekaterin- burg with her husband and daughter.
