Life with the United States Shipping
Beard Is Just one problem after another.
It now finds that, as q result OF the
rapidity with which ships are being
brought under the American flag, there
must be an immediate increase OF
bunkering facilities, especially at At
lantic and gulf ports. Already cargo
carriers ars compelled to wait precious
days for bunker coal before beginning
voyages, and the situation promises to
grow worse unless there is an immedi-

It is announced by Chairman Hurley
that the shipping board has undertaken
in conjunction with other branches OF
the government, survey of the Attain

the coaling arrangements can be en-
larged and improved Present facilities
which are taxed with the volume OF
business now in hand, must be doubled
at least to expedite the movement OF
ships, which will increase two and per-
haps three times. according to existing
plans. Opportunities for taking on
fuel oil also must be enlarged, as 35
per cent of the new ships will be oil
burners.

Mobile is regarded as a port offering

In some overhead-valve engines
valve grinding is made a harder task
than it should be. because when the
valves are removed the owner dis
mantles the rocker arm assembly. In
most engines this is not necessary, be-
cause the rocker arm can be discon-
nected from the vertical rod, pushed
one side and the valve removed. In
engines using cages. this is particu-
larly easy. though most owners go to
the trouble of dismantling the rocker
arm assembly. To push the rocker
arm aside use a fat wrench with a
pair of pliers at one jav to twist with.
In most Of the battery ignition sys-
'tesns IN use there Is q notched rotor
against which presses a so-called latch
or tripper, to which a short spring is
attached When the latch becomes
worn to some extent the system may
fail. II Is suggested that owners carry
along a spare latch. 1t is a simple
matter to remove and replace a latch
and since there is but one way in which
it will fit, the operator hardly can
make mistake.

Has Attraction for Saving.

Whatever is popularly advertised
has an attraction for savings ac-
counts. When you read the advertise
ment of a retail store. announcing that
blankets are to be sold cheaply on a
certain day. you may know that some
family savings accounts will be reach
ed into to buy blankets. So it follows
with every article and commodity
whatever is most advertised draws the
most money - oil. mine, development
and industrial stocks prairie land and
real estate-the money that takes up
the opportunity comes out of savings
accounts. Automobile advertisements
have been conspicuous in the daily
newspapers for fifteen years, always
attracting purchasers, and yet the de-
pletion in the savings accounts has not
been noticed. And on the other hand,
the automobile has created a new class
of savir IS depositors chauffeurs,
machinists and garage men have re-
placed the cab man or hack driver,
liveryman, hostler and stable hand that
used to be associated with the horse
drawn vehicular service. The younger
men of this class are today in a smart
er business, for which they receive bet
ter pay.
The automobile is essentially an i'm
proved method of transportation of
such wide utility that it has in a large
measure created the prosperity which
maintains it Any measure of restric-
ton upon its use or service will dis
turb an equitable balance of internal

Do Not Tell Whole Story.

There are approximately 100000 auto
mobiles registered in Canada today, and
writer's on economies judge from these
figures that the savings accounts Of
the nation are being depleted to main
tain the upkeep of so many vehicles
using gasoline, oils, tires and Access
SorieS.
The figures are imposing. but they do
mot tell the whole story. During the
period the automobile industry has
been developing. saving accounts have
been steadily increasing. There has
been no noticeable rush at any time to
draw out savings deposits. People seem
largely to have arranged their daily
routine to save the expense of their
automobiles. There has been less
dabbling in the stock market: shorter
and fewer summer excursions; trips
abroad have been Cancelled for jaunts
along the country roads at home.
There's a man who buys an auto
mobile and you know his affairs well
enough to declare he couldn't afford it
Therefore he ought to be SO much
worse off But he appears better OF
to his neighbors, and as for himself.
he thinks and he feels better of. People
generally who buy automobiles seem
to be satisfied with their bargains.

Determining ACE OF Planets.

A novel idea in estimating the physi-
cal condition Of planets was put forth
by NJ. Veronnet before the Academic
des Sciences at a recent meeting in
Paris. He based it upon calculation
OF the quantity of water that rocks
such as granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the moon all water
has been completely absorbed by slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled.
Venus is still surrounded by a thick
layer of vapor. while no water has yet
been condensed on the surface of Mer-
curry, this planet being still in q con-
dition in which it's geological life has
not begun, and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on it's surface.
M. Veronnet calculates that the
rocks Of our earth now contain abb
sorbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth Of about
400 metres.
