MALvY IS CONVICTED
Former French Interior Minister
Will Be Banished.
Hiqh Court Finds Prisoner Guilty OF
Holding Communications With
the Enemy.

Paris, Aug. 8. For holding com.
munication with the enemy, Louis j.
Malvy, former minister of the interior,
has been found guilty and sentenced
to five years Punishment. The SEN
tence, however, does not carry civil
degradation.
Louis ]. Malvy, minister of the in
terror in the Viviani BRAND and Ribot
cabinets, was reckoned one of the
most astute political figures in France.
The high court dismissed the charge
Of treason or completely In treason,
but found Malvy guilty Of disregard
ing, violating or betraying the duties
Of his office.
1t was proved, according to the ver-
dict, that he was guilty Of the plan
fomented in France to destroy the de-
Tense of the country by undermining
the morale Of the nation and destroy
ing discipline in the army by Great
ing sed1tious newspapers, the dissem-
nation Of pamphlets and speeches and
lectures.
The judgment said Malvy was aware
of this criminal undertaking, which
was declared to be the principal cause
Of the mutinies Of May and June,
1917.
1t was in July, 1917, that his posi-
ton was first assailed At that time,
M. Clemenceau, now French premier,
charged that NJ Malvy was spreading
"Defeatist" propaganda among the
troops, and M. Malvy's resignation Of
his post as minister of the interior
was announced early in August.

FIGHTS PRISONER EXCHANGE
German Paper Says America Would
Reap Most Benefit.

Amsterdam, Aug. S.-Discussing the
proposed exchange of American and
German war prisoners, the Nachr1cht-
en- of Hamburg advises the German
government to reject all such over
lures on the following grounds:
First, the Americans, by this agree
ment, would enjoy exceptional treat
ment which besides being unfair to
the other prisoners would enormously
facilitate recruiting in America
Second, assuming that the Ameri-
cans have taken fewer prisoners than
the Germans it would be natural for
the Allies of America to make up the
requisite number Of prisoners, which
would indirectly enhance Americas
reputed achievements This, tie ar
ticle says should be prevented"

GOOD ANTI-FREEzE MIXTURE
Alcohol Solutions Are Cheap and e.
fective for Automobiles and
Other Engines.

The dairy farmer need not put up
his automobile for the winter for fear
of the engine freezing, as it has been
found that alcohol solutions are cheap
and effective anti-freezing mixtures
for automobiles and other gasoline
engines. According to W. Ives of the
Ohio agricultural engineering depart
ment the strength of the mixture for
various temperatures is as follows +.
A 10 per cen solution for 25 degrees
above; 20 per cen solution for 6 de-
grees above; 30 per cent solution for
zero temperature, and a 35 per cent
solution for 10 degrees below. In case
a mixture of 20 per cent alcohol
freezes, this simply forms a soft mush
which has no bursting power.

VALVES MUST Be

Engine viii Not Run Correctly if
They Are Not Given Proper

Usually Laid to carburetor or
Faulty Ianition-Wise Plan to
Examine and Reset.

Proper adjustment of valve lifters is
vital to the "A If 1t is to give maxi
mum efficiency. If they are not prop
erly adjusted the best engine in the
world will lose power. Because they
are not right out in plain sight the
valve lifters are many times neglected
until they force themselves to the own
er's attention.
Ordinarily when the motor loses
power the fact is attributed either to
the c%arbureter or to faulty Ignition
and many times it is hard to convince
the owner hat it is valve lifts which
are accountable for his inability to
climb hills and obtain the speed OF the
level to which he is accustomed.
Examine and Reset.
They become noisy, due to the fact
that the distance between the lift and
the cam becomes too wide. BY stop
ping the motor, removing the valve
plates and shaking them up and down
one may locate the ones out of adjust
ment. Sometimes more than one is at
fault and it is a good policy to exam
inc and reset all while about 1t. Ex-
anime the adjustment carefully to I'M

caused by turning the wrong nut. One
is the locking nut which must be
loosened first. The adjusting nut is
then set to the right distance and the
locking nut again set up.
The opening should approximate 1-64
of an inch for exhaust, and $1,000
inch for intake valves. An ordinary
business card is a good gauge for the
exhaust valve, while a piece of note
paper will serve for the inlet.
Clearance Too Great.
If the valve clearance becomes too
great the valves open late and close
early. Since they should move exactly
as the designer intended, it is evident
that the engine will lose power If both
ends are cut off. If the clearance is
not enough the engine will lose com
preston and with 1t a great deal of
power. This is due to the fact that as
the engine heats up the valve stem
lengthens. AS they grow longer they
use up the space between the valve
stem and the valve litter. If the space
Is too small the valve. stem rests on
the valve litter. AS it lengthens the
head of the valve is lifted of its seat
in the cylinder, opening the valve and
so losing compression.

ADOPTS MINE QUOTA PLAN.
Westmoreland, Pa, District First
to Put system in Effect.

Westmoreland county. Pa. has be-
come the first district in the country
to put into detailed effect the mine
production quota system. as recently
set forth by H. A. Garfield. United
States fuel administrator.
The Westmoreland district, which
produces the highly essential gas coal
required by steel and munition plants,
has gone over the top with a new
production record of 100000 tons for
the week ended October IL. or 1900
tons in excess of the previous high
mark. On the basis Of eighty pounds
of coal required for one three-inch
she'll, the extra $4,000 tons means that
Westmoreland county last week pre-
scented Pershing with the equivalent
of $4,000 such shells.
Another production record was made
last week by the miners of Indiana.
Mines there have moved up their
speed another notch and broke their
mark for the third time in four
weeks by turning out 692.22S tons. an
increase of $500 tons over the pre-
yiouS high record.

Feared Wheat Shortage.

Exporters of large quantities of
wheat said before the war that the
United States would not have bushel
of that staple for export after 1920.
1t was pointed out that farming was
becoming distasteful to the youth of
the United States, who were f1ocking
to the cities and engaging in manu-
featuring industry. going into bust
ness or entering the professions.
Since the war production has been
stimulated and consumption re-
stricted. Otherwise there would have
been little wheat available for export.
The bars will not be let down and
persons who think they will be able
to gourmandiZe at the close of the
war will be much mistaken" said an
officer of the food administration.
Legislation to continue an adj
ministration of this character beyond
the war period will undoubtedly be
introduced at an early date. Doubt
less it will have the sanction of the
President and great majority of
COnpreSS'
