! had some trouble on the road not
long ago. 1t was like this: The
motor wouldn't run only slowly and
then it wouldn't pull at all. ! had it
towed into the garage and there ]
tested it for everything and conclud-
ed that the spark was at fault. | had
a repairman come in from the SER
vice station and he worked around it
for number of hours and / found
out that the generator chain was
broken. Now how could this stop the
motor from running?
ID. ]. Hawkins.
1t is easy to see that if the gen.
orator feeds the load after certain
speed is reached, the engine would
not run at or aboye that speed If the
generator driving chain were broken.
The battery feeding at low speed ac-
counts for the fact that the engine
would idle alright.
Can old oil taken from the crank
case and other places be used over

teri Where is the Stanley steamer
factory? What other steamers are
madei-J. A. L.
l. Use it over again, but not for
engine fabrication. After removing
the sediment use the oil for spring
leaf fabrication and for brake con-
nections and similar places.
z. The Stanley is made in Newton,
Mass. The Doble is another steam
car made by the General Engineering
Co.. Detroit, Mich.
What is the meaning of q truck
tractor, also what Is an industrial
truck1 When car is converted into
q truck and the load is given as 5000
pounds is that the maxium load or
the safe loadi--Masters.
A truck tractor is vehicle which
carries load and also pulls one. An
industrial truck is q small vehicle
used for carrying goods indoors or
for short distances outdoors as for
example trunk and baggage carriers
as used at railroad stations. Indus
trials are usually operated by storage
batteries.
That depends on the maker. Often
the maximum load is given and again
the safe load. Better ask.
Why hasn't the electric car made
any headwayl There are so many
advantages Of it that all I can see
against it Is the speed.--Curious.
Aside from its performance being
much below that of a gasoline Car.
the electric has a limited range Of
operation, since battery change
gives only definite amount Of mile

All Harley-Davidson motorcycle

Is it advisable to have a broken

You would be justified in raising

Unnoticed Leaks

In summer, when the heat causes
rapid evaporation of gasoline, tiny
leaks in the fuel line often escape dis
covery. In some cases this will be
enough to account for a sudden cut
ting down of the mileage per gallon.
So in cases where the relative mileage
shows sudden drop, it is we'll to in
spect the fuel line for small leaks.

The New Car

This is the time of year when own
ers of new cars need to be reminded
that more harm may result to the ve-
hicle in the first 500 miles of running
than in all the rest Of its life. After
the car has been run couple of hun
dred miles, the driver should go over
it and take up slack in bolts and bear
ings. Pistons should have excessive
fabrication during the early wearing
in period. The universal joints must
be kept fully fabricated during the
early running of the car. A stitch at
this time saves not nine, but nineteen.

Loose Stud Bolt

It sometimes happens that in TAX
ing off the valve cover plate, one OF
the studs may slip out and the loss
will not be discovered. This leaves
an opening into the intake passage
and the leak will prevent the suction

draw the fuel into the cylinders.

Dry Bearings

One cause of insufficient fabrication
in the bearings is found in obstruc-

SAUSACES ARE USED
in PROPAGANDA WORK

Washington, Feb. 19.-The much
ridiculed German sausage may be play
ing AN important part toward disin-
tegrat;ng the kaiser's army.
Frances message to German troops
that they will do well to surrender
and give the password "'Kamerad Re
rubliqUe," is being carried to the Ger
man front lines in sausage meat and
in other ways. Small pitfalls contain
ing the message on oiled paper are
dropped in Germany from allied air
planes, and relatives who hope for
Eeace slip the message into things
they send to the troops. Many of those
receiving the message surrender, and
surprisingly few spies have been found
among their number.
Information to this effect has been
given tc the house committee on pos
tai expenditures, which was hearing a
representative of the committee on
public information on the propagan-
da campaign being carried on in Ger

Retail prices have fluctuated at a
relatively lower level than wholesale
prices. D. essed poultry and granula-

TWIN BEDS" HERE

to be the most strikingly popular

career in New York in August, 1914,
and ran there steadily for one whole
year. In the spring of 1915, another
company began an engagement in Lon>
don, where the play still holds the
boards, and negotiations are now on
foot for early presentations in Paris.
Petrograd, Rome, Madrid, South Amer

wrote the comedy, have somewhat
gloatingly confessed that various prom

thing to do with the gold mine. 1t is
as certain as mundane affairs can be
that Twin Beds is the biggest comedy
success of a decade It is clear, clean,
beginning to end, and it is not only
brightly written but brilliantly acted.
Twin Beds" is said to keep the aud

be the most wildly laughable comedy

Come to Groveton, N. H.

A great many men from various parts
Of the Green Mountain State have already
come here to work, in the pulp and
paper plant Of the Odell Manufacturing
Company, but there is room for more.
More than twenty families have moved
to Groveton within the last month.
Although the mill employees went out
on a strike last May, and the strike has
never been declared off," yet the mill is
running as usual, many of the former en-
ployees have resumed work, and enough
new ones secured so that about the same
number are employed as before the
strike. But, owing to the change in
hours, the three eight-hour shift system
having been inaugurated, more men are
needed. Those who have come here
have found conditions better than repre-
sented and are contented to stay.
Good positions, at good pay, await
the right men. There are also chances
for several intelligent girls. j..
On request we will give you the names
of some Of the Vermont people who hvae
come here, and fare now working in
the mill, perhaps some of them from
your own town, and you can write direct
to them and see what they have to say
about the situation.
Write me or come and see me, and l
will secure you a position, and also a
rent if you want one.
