Motors running at high speed
must be operated with as little re-
sistance as possible. For this rea-
son it is usually the practice TO
open the exhaus. valve before the
piston has reached lower center,
thereby reducing the pressure Of
the gases TO be exhausted by the
upward movement Of the piston on
the exhaust stroke. This applies TO
the timing of the valves during
other parts OF the cycle so that
greater efficiency will result. When
the engine is running at high speed
Il is possible TO employ the suction
created by the discharge Of the eX-
haust gases 10 draw upon the inlet
manifold and increase the speed Of

Helpful Hints.

Lubricating oils should be
; free from carbon and have suf-
ficient body to cushion the
blows applied 10 the crankshaft
and offer a cylinder wall sur
face as near frictionless as pos
, sible. in order to insure the
power and durability of an en-
gine. Good oils will more than

repair bills.

test. pour some oil in a shallow
dish and leave in a warm room
about a week. There must not
be the slightest crust at the
end OF that time. Another test
is made by mixing with the oil

To determine the presence of
solid impurities in the oil,
kerosene should be added TO
half a glass OF oil until the oil
is thin. The mixture is then
passed through filter paper or
ordinary white blotting paper.

Motoring Dept. The NewsTimes:
On a recent trip with my 1916 Kis-
sci, 1 experienced a peculiar trou-
BILE for the first time and am anx-
ious to know the cause. Within a
distance of % miles the car stop
ped three times and after standing
fer a few minutes each time l was
able to start it again and run for
a few miles and again come to a
stop as if / had run out OF gas.
w. s.
If the fuel feed is a vacuum sys-
TEN, the trouble may have been
caused by the strainers in the vac
uum tank becoming clogged and at
times not allowing the gas TO pass.
Likewise a clogged fuel pipe would
cause the same trouble.

Motoring Dept. The NewsTimes:
Or my car. a 1913 model, 1 have
been greatly troubled lately with
grinding gears, even though L
throw my clutch out every time that
I want 20 change gears, there is a
clashing and grinding noise. Kindly
tell me where my trouble is.
S. r.
The trouble most likely is a
spinning clutch. The clutch keeps
on spinning after you disengage it
from the fly wheel. You can easily
remedy this by applying a clutch
brake. Something that the clutch
will rub against when you olsen
gage il. Perhaps you can overcome
the trouble by giving the clutch
pedal more throw.

FOR BETTER RURAL HEALTH

Much remains to be done in rural
districts, according to the annual re-
port of the Secretary of Agriculture,
to control such pests as mosquitoes
and the hookworm, to eliminate the
sources of typhoid fever, and, even
more, to give the country district the
advantage of modern hospitals, nurs-
ing and specialized medical practice.
Noting that many agencies, some of
them private enterprises with large
funds, are working for improvement,
the reports says that the Department
Of Agriculture, through it's home dem
onstration service, is giving valuable
aid, and the public health service is
increasingly extending its functions.
To what extent the further projec"
ton of eort is a matter for State or
local action remains to be determined,
says the Secretary, but it seems clear
that there should be no cessation of
activities until there has been COM
pleted in every rural community of the
Union an eective sanitary service, and,
through the provision of adequate ma
chinery, steps taken to control and
eliminate the sources of disease and
to provide the necessary modern med
ical and dental facilities, easily ac-
cessible to the mass of the people.

SOUTH CALLED
TO WAKE UP
TO FOOD CRY
Uncle Sam Must Become Joseph Of
Modern WOrld-Charles l.. Pack
Tells Southern CONNER
cial Congress.

Baltimore, December 10-The South
is roundly scored and called to wake
up to the World cry for food by
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the National War Garden Commission
of Washington, who addressed the
members of the Southern Commercial
Congress in session here today. Mr..
Pack quoted from editorials in South
ern newspapers and from letters the
National War Garden Commission has
been receiving to make his point that
the South admits it is asleep on the
big question of the day-FOOD.
1--WE hear a great deal at times OF
the South being in the saddle. With
that political question have nothing
to do but l do want to say that the
South is not in the saddle when it
comes to FOOD. She is only hanging
on by one stirrup. The South must
wake uD and l want to take the oppor-
tunity to congratulate the newspapers
of the South for the way they have la
bored to wake up her citizens to the
world cry for food. Let me quote
paragraph from an editorial in an Ala
bama newspaper within ten days:
alabama has imported millions of
dollars worth of food and feed stuffs
because the men who till the soil and
raise the harvests cannot get to mar
ket with their food stuffs. Alabama
cannot feed herself because her people
cannot get about freely. Agricultural
~ Alabama Is a prince in rags and
tatters; a giant writing in the mud!'
Just the other day l saw letter
from a family in Tampa which said
that eggs we're one dollar dozen and
that every mouthful of vegetables that
had been on that family's table for the
last two months had come out of a can,
And that in Florida!
1--WE get such news from a state that
claims to be one of the garden spots
of the world; state that claims to be
able to grow almost anything at any
time of the year. The produce is be.
ing shipped north of course and LOT
of it may find it's way back in the car
, to where it was grown. Think VIVA
that means in cost and transportation
"But l have a more pointed indict
| in
than that. l want to read paragraph
. from a letter of a railroad man wht
is close to the conditions in Texas
{ This paragraph says:
81 do not think l am wrong when
say there is less than Is per cent. o
, the farms that maintain gardens. Th
arises largely out of the one crop ide;
of cotton and further the landlords d
not appear to be willing to have thei

state that could almost feed tn
