TROUBLE IN STARTING A CAR
Difficulty Generally Due to Fact That
Gasoline VIII Not vaporlze at
Low Temperature.

The easiest way to overcome start
ing difficulties with an automobile In
cold weather is to apply heat to the
intake manifold, in the opinion or II.
V. Collins, instructor in steam and
gas engineering in the Kansas agricui-
tural college. -
Trouble in starting a q In cold
weather is generally due to the fact
that the ordinary low grade of gaso-
line will not vaporize readily at low
temperatures.
The intake pipe leading from the
carburetor is usually vertical so thai
gasoline will not pass through unless
it is vaporized. The velocity of air
through the carburetor and intake pipe
will hold the vaporized gas In sus-
pension when the motor Is once
started.
BY applying heat to the intake mani
fold enough liquid will be vaporized
so that the motor will start readily.
In this case the entire mixture Is
warmed rather than just the gasoline.
Better results will be obtained than
where the motor is primed with heat
ed gasoline and the air is allowed to
enter the cylinders cold.
The simplest way to apply heat to
the manifold is to pour hot water over
it, care being taken not to get it into
the carburetor. Putting hot water
into the cooling system warns the
cylinder walls, but does not help to
get the mixture from the carburetor
to the cylinder and should not be nee
essary If the intake is warmed.

ENGINE TROUBLE is ELUSIVE
Dirty Distributor or Collector Ring
Cause of Much Worry-Parts
Should Be Wiped.

A simple defect that has caused
many a a owner much fruitless In
vestigation results from a dirty dis
tributor or collector ring. 1t is natu-
raj that in the course of time dirt
should accumulate on these parts, and
when it does, the result Is ignition
troubles that are difficult to locate, as
there is no easily recognized symp-
toms that is characteristic. 1t may
cause a knock, or any one of a num-
Der of varieties of irregular firing.
These parts should be carefully wiped
at frequent intervals, and in doing this
no metal tool should be used. If 1t is
necessary to use some implement to
reach narrow spaces with the wiping
cloth, a soft piece of wood should be
employed.

save inner TUBES.
Theme of Educational Campaign
Instituted for Economy.
CAN Save MOTORlST money
Undue Haste in Replacing Punctured
or Rlown-out Tube Is RESPONSE
BILE for Multitude of Sins
Pinching Is Mistake.

Ways and means of procuring the
longest service from inner tubes-aD
appurtenance of the automobiles
mechanism that is most neglected-is
the theme of an educational campaign
instituted by a big rubber concern in
the interests of war economy. Many
unexpected outbursts from ~air-contain-
ers originate from "sins of omission"
and Commission" and by emphasizing
the more glaring ones the company be
lieves it can save the motorist dollars
abyss of waste.
Undue haste in replacing a pune
tured or blown-out tube is RESPONSE
BILE for a multitude of the "sins." The
most common mistake is pinchlng the
tube. The tube is inserted in an I'M
even or twisted manner. This causes
it to overlap or wrinkle, with the re-
suit that in a short time it will cut
through where 1t has been overlapped
and we have q leak.
Pinches New Tube.
The same trouble is also caused
sometimes by putting q new tube into
the tire just as it is taken from the
box. When the tube is applied after
mounting there is such an thrush of
air that 1t will often buckle up the
tube, thereby forcing a tiny section
beneath the bead %spreader.
Especially will this occur If the
valve stem is not pulled out to its
proper position. The operator should
proceed slowly when applying the
tube. Before putting it into the cas-
"shots" of air, then 1t should be ap-
piled carefully, the inside-the side on
which the stem occurs-being always
kept inside.
When 1t is in the casing 1t should
be 'talced" carefully and the fingers
forced all around the tire to make sure
that the tale has been evenly distrib-
uted, and then, before the loose bead
Is applied, the tire should be given q
little nor air-enough to round 1t out
nicely and prevent p%inching.
How to Use Tale.
The motorist should be cautioned
against using too much tale. There
are several powders procurable for
keeping the tube from sticking to the
casing, among these being soap stone,
graphite and tale, but the use Of too
much of any of these proves disas-
trous, as a collection of substance in
one place eats into the rubber. If, on
the other hand, no powder be used, 1t
will be only a short time before the
heat generated will cook the tube.
differentiation is equally injurious
to tubes. When the under-inflated
tire passes owe a stone both casing
and tube are jolted against the rim,
and sooner or later a leak will devel-
op. All tires should be inflated to
the standard prescribed by manufac-
turers.
All tubes should be carried in a wa
terproof bag or well wrapped in news
paper.

Theft-S Signal Device.

like, the object is to provide an audi
BILE signal when an attempted theft
takes place, thus calling the attention
of the owner or driver to the attempt.
A further object is to provide a device
which may be SC disposed in an auto
mobile, that articles in the front and
rear seat, may be readily protected.
To accomplish this each article is Sc
cured to a chain, which is connected
with an electric bell, the removal Of
an article will pull the plug, and thus
set the signal in operation.

BLUE ILLUMINATION is BEST
is Brilliant Enough to Afford Reading
Of Various Instruments-Back
Glare Eliminated.

The substitution of a blue bulb for
the ordinary clear one, which illumi-
mates the dash, has certain advan-
tages. The blue light is brilliant
enough to afford reading of the vari-
GUS instruments and yet all back
glare is eliminated. Moreover, the
blue light rather improves the ap-
p%earance of the compartment at night.

IN DESCENDING A LONG HILL
To Save Gasoline Supply Shut of Io-
nltion-Good Plan Also to
Close Throttle.

When going down a long hill shut
off ignition. This also saves gasoline.
Even If you use the engine as a
brake, with throttle closed, you draw
very little gasoline. If throttle is open
ed, however, o draw out a great
deal, SO keep the throttle closed.

PRIORITY FOR
GRAIN SUPPLIES
ORDERS M'AD00
Station Agents to 60 Directly to
Farmers and Explain Need
:, for Swift Loading
MILLS NEED RAW MATERIAL

Washington, D. c., Feb. 9-Trans-
portation priority for grain, -four,
cornmeal and other grain products
in western and middle western pro.
ducing states was ordered Friday by
Director General McAdoo as a means
of fastening to market all grains and
particularly the vast accumulated
stores of soft corn.
This corn, full of moisture as a re-
suit of last years growing conditions,
composes as much as 40 per cent of
the stocks in many sections and is
threatened with rotting in moderate
weather of the last few days unless
rushed to elevators and dried.
The order is intended, also to insure
adequate shipments of grains to mills
to fill allied orders.
Thousands of box cars will be used
for the grain movement and conse-
quently will be withheld from indt s
trial shipments. Unofficial preferential
orders have been in effect throughout
the western states for several days,
and the quantity of grain hauled has
been far greater than in the cores
ponding period of last year.
Go Direct to Farmers
In addition to supplying more cars,
and giving preferential movement,
railroads were ordered to have their
station agents in rural communities,
and their traffic agents, 60 direct to
farmers and explain the necessity of
prompt loading and movement of their
grain stocks. For week or perhaps
more an educational campaign will
be conducted by every available
agency of Sthe roads to stimulate the
movement of grain from farm and
local storage houses. The preferen'
tial movement will be discontinued as
soon as the emergency is past. The
railroad administrations announce
ment specifies certain states to which
the preferential order applies, but of.
fcials said it will be effective in 9TH
ers where the need of prompt ship
ment is apparent to local railroad au.
thorities.

URIC ACID

Every since the discovery Of Scheeie
in ITS that uric acid was found within
the body-most eminent physicians
agree that rheumatism is caused byrit;
also many distressing symptoms as
headache, pain in back, stomach dis.
tress, swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
Neglected kidney trouble is responsible
for many deaths. -.
1t was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids'
Hotc-,, Buffalo, N. Y, who discovered
a new agent called :Anuric, a Harmless,
remedy-that if taken before meals will
carry off the uric acid from the system
and in this way the pains and aches, the
creaky joints and all the distressing
symptoms of rheumatism and other
maladies disappear. You can easily
prove this yourself by obtaining An.
uric at almost any drug store, or send
DR.. Pierce 1oc for trial pkg. Try it.
and be convinced Anuric is many times
more active than lithia and eliminates
uric acid as hot water nelts sugar. !.

! loan organizations, in session here,
called on Pres. Wilson Friday and
urged that he appoint commission
of nine from their number to serve as

ment and the farmers in solving agri-
cultural labor and other problems.
The president said that while he
could not answer such an important
memorial off hand, it would receive
his most careful consideration.
Spokesman of sixteen national farm
organizations and many smaller ones,

orial to Presidents Wilson today urg-
ing more definite measures by the
government in speeding up agricul.
tural production. - >~,
The delegation asked for the ap-
pointment of special commission of
nine farmers to advise in agricultural
problems and represent the farming
view point, the furloughing of trained
farm workers now in the army so long
as their services may be considered
by the government more useful in pro-
ductive agriculture than in the mil
itary service; that the draft regula-
tons be interpreted so as to stop the
placing of skilled farm workers, fore
men and bonafide farmers-in class
one; that provision be made for fur
nishing farmers seed, feed. fertilizers
and machinery; that steps be taken to
promote aggressively short time loans
to finance the production Of crops.

Washington. D: c.. Feb. 9.-To in

department. Adjutant General Nc
Cain announced that number will be
stamped on the metal Identification
tag each soldier is required to wear
and that similar number will be
placed opposite the mans name in the
war department roster
The new system will be put into ef-
feet February % and hereafter al men
entering the service will be given a
numbered tag when enrolled. By this
arrangement the department hopes
that there will be- 70 possibility of Of
ficers not being able to identify SOL
diers bodies because of blank tags
such as worn by some of the men who
went down on the Tuscania
Blank Tags Were Used
News dispatches today said blank
tags were found on the bodies of A
washed ashore, although army regu-
lations require that the soldiers
name must be stamped on the tags,
even though he is not assigned to an
organization. When he is assigned the
number of his regiment, the destina-
tion of his company and his individual
number in that company is supposed
to be added Immediately to other side
Of the tag. ., -.
