GERMANIzING BELGIUM

New York, July 15.--One of the
methods practiced by the German au-
thorities to Germanize Belgium is to
force the German language upon Bel
gian children. This is indicated by
an article in the Cologne Gazette, a
copy of which has been received here.
Ten German schools, the paper says,
have been established in Belgium and
in addition the children of Germans in
Belgium are being gathered in homes
for children and instructed in the Ger
man language.

AUTO TRUCK SUCCESS
FOR USE AS TRACTOR

An excellent example OF how a
farmer may operate motor trucks
for profit is that of a. owner
whose farm is fifty miles from
Denver.
This farmer is a large grain and
feed raiser and when he is not en-
ploying his trucks in hauling his
produce to market, he puts them
into the fields as tractors. This man
says that truck is much superior
to the tractor in pulling a drill.
The truck makes more speed and
packs the ground less and is able
to carry the grain with Il at all
times. thus eliminating the neces-
sity OF having to stop often and re-
plenish the drill,

An excellent way to locate sus-
pected leaks in the carburetor float
is to immerse the part in hot water.
In this way any gasoline in the
interior will be vaporized, and will
force its way out of the hole, which
may be located by watching for the
bubbles to rise. The float should.
OF course, be removed from the
water the instant the bubbles cease
rising.
