Il. G. III. asks; Can POGO" alcohol
be successfully used In decarboniz
ing an engine? Is this method as
good as scraping the cylinders? How
much alcohol should be used in each
cylinder?
Answer: No method is so sure as
seraping. We do not know this
brand of alcohol but, as the name
you give is quite similar to that of a
well-known brand of denatured al.
cohol, we assume that it is this kind
Of alcohol that you refer to. Alco-
hol. like a number of other liquids,
exerts some solvent action upon the
compounds which bind together the
particles of carbon deposits and is
thus capable of softenins and loosen
ing them to some extent and thus OF
fastening their expulsion from the
cylinders. To treat cylinder re-
move The spark-plug, and turn the
engine until the piston Is at the top
OF compression. Then fill the whole
Jmpression space with alcohol from
squirt can or oil gun, put back the
p!ug and lei 1t stand over night.
In the morning. suck out the alcohol
with the oil gun. through the plug
opening, replace the spark-plug and
run the engine brlskly. One cylin-
Her can be treated each night nSi,
all have been operated upon. II the
piston Is tight the alcohol Is kcr4

OBJECT OF ELECTRICAri
CONDENSER.
l. A. b. asks: What is the "con-
denser." that is a part Of a mag
neto or battery ignition system, and
what Is it for7
Answer: Its object is to increase
the intensity Of the igniting spark
and to prevent sparkling at and burn
ing of the contacts of the interrupter
or make-and-break device in the
primary or low tension circuit. 1t

sheets, each one separated from its

Every other tinfoil is connected to
one side Of the interrupter and the
remaining tinfoils are connected to
the other side of the interrupter.

SAYS RAIL OWNERSHIP

dieting America soon will be forced to
fight for Alaska and Hawaii, Senator
Lewis, Illinois, Thursday demanded
government ownership of the railroads
as a preparedness measure.
IF private ownership of the roads
continues" he said, 1--WE will have no
adequate means of rushing troops to
points needing Defense"
Lewis declared government owner
ship will be the great national home
issue of the next presidential cam
paign in connection with the interna-
tional issues growing out of the war
or peace terms.
This BILL" said Lewis, lis the be-
ginning of the government taking the
loads as government agency. They
will never be permitted to return to
the former state Of personal control
for private profit. At the same time
this country takes over the railroads
it will take the telegraph and tele-
phone privileges, and then the prod

methods by which they. may have
their way. Their main difficulty is
that in addition to leaders, there is a
rank and file of democracy. That
rank and file was so big two years
ago that Woodrow Wilson came with
in a few hundred votes OF CARRYING
rock-ribbed Republican Minnesota
Burnquist Opposed Wilson.
The governor didn't vote for Wood
row Wilson then. He didn't stand by
the president then any more than he
is standing by the president now in
the street railway controversy.
And it may be that the rank and
file of democracy will remember some
of these things when their leaders
shortly start setting the traps to
catch the unwary in the Burnquist
plot for self-perpetuation. And then
as these common Democrats recall
two years ago and see the signs of
the times as they shine in the poll
teal sky these days, it may be, in
fact very lik ely will be, that they will
take the governors advice and stand
by. the president, by supporting a
man who Is progressive at least and
has real sympathy for the people.

OPPOSES LABOR DRAFT
UNLESS GOVERNMENT ~
ALSO TAKES Capital

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-William
B. Wilson, secretary of labor in Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet, appearing Sat-
urday before the house committee on
public buildings and grounds, declared
against the CONSUMPTION OF labor un-
less capital should be conscripted. His
position, he said, was that labor should
not be conscripted to work in ship
yards under private ownership.
If the present crisis makes it ne
cessary to draft labor for the ship
yards, we shall also have to take over
the shipyards," said Wilson: Il am
absolutely opposed to, drafting la Dor
for private employers. If the govern
ment owns and operates the plants,
that is a different proposition.
Wilson said he would oppose lifting
the regulation which excused men
from military service if. employed in
shipyards.- 49, $:=5 ~
The housing bill to provide dwell
1ngs for workers in munition plants is
absolutely necessary, said Wilson, who
appeared before the committee to
testify in support 81 5thassa "a 1inistra-
tion's S50,000,000 measure.
