Women Cook for Hands.
In Indiana "a towns secured an en-
rollment of 1900 workers to assist In
the harvest Of the wheat and oats crop.
Kansas City, as a result Of q campaign
during the week Of June 3 to s, en-
listed 10000 workers to assist Kansas
farmers. These workers not only Of
fered their services, but under the d.
rection of the athletic club and the
chamber Of commerce took a course Of
training which fitted them and harden
ed them for the severe work they
would be called upon to do on the
farms. In addition to enrolling men.
ONE were enlisted from the towns
and cities to 60 to the country to as

sisted Kansas farmers in handling the
wheat.
In the berry district south of Port

needed to harvest the crop. The farm

services of 1000 women and girls, who
were organized into units and taken
to the district, where they are now
working and aiding In harvesting the
crop in n satisfactory way.
Emergency Labor Organization.
The farm labor administration of
the Illinois state council of defense.
in cooperation with workers furnished
by the U. s. department Of agricul-
ture. has perfected an emergency farm
labor organization in practically every
county of the state. Reports from 60
counties show more than $4,000 work.

In the sugar-beet districts Of south
ern Michigan. Colorado and Utah many
thousands of workers have been Sc
cured to cultivate this crop and thus
insure a large supply Of sugar.
In q similar way the other states
have organized and enlisted labor for
the farms and thus meet In a most
admirable way the emergency needs.

cal Troubles.

Backfring in the carburetor is dan.
gerous to the car, as it is likely to set
the automobile on fire. Cars have been
burned from that cause In the past and
similar accidents are bound to happen
again. 1t Is well to be on guard and
eliminate the cause Of backfring.
The most frequent is a lean
mixture. This means more air in the
mixture than usual. The carburetOr
gets out Of adjustment in some way
and the mischief Is done. A lean mix
ture Is slow burning. 1t burns during
the power stroke, during the exhaust
stroke, and is still burning when the in
let valve opens, admitting the fresh
mixture. This takes fire and the flame
runs back to the carburetOr. IF gasO-
line Is dripping from the carburetOr a
heavy vapOr is formed. extending un-
der the engine, where 1t is held by the
mud pan. The flame spreads under
the engine and soon reaches the tank,
melting the connections and releasing
food Of gasoline.
Causes OF Lean Mixture.
Lean mixture may be due to derange-
ment Of the carburetOr or a leaky inlet
manifold. Some of the causes may be
the spray nozzle too far closed. aux
Iiary air valve spring too weak, or
valve open, OF a clOgged fuel line. A
leaky inlet manifold may be detected
BY running the engine and injecting oil
around the points. Oil will be sucked
In at the leak where the bolts must be
frightened or a new gasket installed In
place of the leaky one.
Troubles Of the inlet valve are rare.
The valve litter may be out of ADJUST
ment. leaving no clearance, or actually
pushing the valve Off its seat. If there
Ii little or no clearance the valve will
hold compression when the engine is
cold, but will leak when the engine
warns up. due to lengthening Of the
valve stem. and, of course, popping in
the carburetOr occurs Immediately. Set
the clearance at about two thicknesses
Of newspaper. Occasionally this valve
may become stuck so that 1t cannot
close. This may be seer from the out
side as there will be an unusually large
space between the valve stem and
Utter.
Electrical Troubles.
There may be electrical troubles.
With a single coil and distributor sys-
tenn, as used o. the majority of cars,
there would be some distributor trou-
bic or a short circuit Of the distributor
wires. See that all wires are properly
insulated and wipe all dust from the
distributor head. II you know how to
open the distributor you should wipe
out the inside occasionally. using a
cloth dipped In gasoline. This will re-
move all accumulatiOns of dust. which
will cause short circuit IL allowed to
remain.

Orsi of Cairo, Egypt, to participate
IN one Of the longest drawn-out cere-
monies on record. They will begin
today on the legal steps which in
about three months will have them
jolly we'll knotted.
Ensign Winner lives at 1O7 North
Par avenue, Waukagan. Yesterday he
obtained license to marry Miss Orsi
OF Cairo by proxy. The license must
be mailed to Cairo. When it reaches
there with Winzer's power of attor-

to represent the bridegroom and there
will be proxy ceremony.
Miss Orsi will receive a cable some
time today informing her of the IL

Ione in Cairo and send it to Winner.
With her power of attorney, Winner
Will choose woman to represent his
bride. And there will be another
ceremony. Then these records must
be duplicated and a file kept in Wau-
kegan. Same thing in Cairo.
Miss Orsi wants to come to Amer
lea as the bride Of Ensign Winner and
this is the reason for the marriage
by proxy. The chances are when she
arrives they'll be married all over
again.

MONUMENT WILL
 BE ERECTED ID
 HONOR YANKEES

PARIS.-In memoriam to the first three soldiers of the American army who fell in action on November 8, 1917, monument consisting of a tall granite column designed by Louis Majorelle will be erected at Bathelement, located in the sector where the heroes fell
 One side of the shaft will be en- graved with the following inscrip- tion:
 Sons of their great and glorious country, they fought for liberty and civilization against German inn perialism, the scourage of the human race. They died on the field of honor"
 On another side will be inscribed the names of the heroes as follows
 Corporal J. B. Gresham, Evans vile.
 Private Thomas P. Enright,, Pittsburg
 Private Merle Hay. Glidden."
 The cross of Lorraine is sculp- tured on another side It is en- circled in a symbolical wreath. The cross bears the inscription, France United States 1917; from Lorraine to the United States"
 Bathlement was in the direct line of fire in the operation in which the three Americans participated It has not been thought appropriate to erect the column on the exact spot where the heroes fell. The work of providing the recognition was supervised by N. Mirman, pre- feet of the department Meurthe-et- Moselle, where Bethlemont is located.
 A reproduction of the monument will be placed in Nancy and fac simile sent to William c. Sharp, the United States ambassador to France.

GERMANS SAVE NARROWER NOW
 AS ARMY FADES

WITH THE AMERICANS.-Con- servation is the word one hears com ing over the German lines now. AL ways economical, the Germans are saving now more than ever before in their manpower. Since the day the Germans started backward from the Marne they have been conserv- ing their numbers as never before and they have done it in a most ad- mirable manner. But it has been at the expense of positions.
 The German losses in men have not been so great as might have been expected. In the fighting north of the Marne the retreat was skill fully planned and carried out in a manner that excited admiration. Machine guns were substituted for men at almost every point and the way in which the German army built around that particular bit of ord nance has been very thoroughly demonstrated.
 Every backward step of the emmy was guarded by the automatic guns. Get back the artillery and the bulk of the infantry was the order re- peated in the German army as the French and Americans prodded them In almost every instance the rear guard action meant the resistance of little machine gun units and because of the clever manner in which the nests" were placed they were able to hold their own long enough to enable the main armies behind them to fall back
 They were not always placed in lines but left here and there just over the brow of a hill or in the deep woods, on the ground and in the trees and almost always skill fully camouflaged. But always. their disposition was coordinate. In the end it was up to every machine gun crew to fight its own way out or to resist to the last, until swept away by the Allies artillery or over by their tanks or infantry, but they were so placed that until that time came their fire was so directed that it swept very effectively the ad- vancing lines. The Germans have lost thousands of their machine guns by such tactics, but they saved pro- portionately in men.
 It is this evident intention to save manpower, so different from their attitude earlier in the war, that has gone far towards convincing many that their big military machine is cracking and that they will not be able to withstand winter campaign.

SWISS TO PROTECT GOODS
 FROM THE GERMANS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Regula- tions intended to prevent German owned firms with factories in Switzerland from exporting their product under the guise of Swiss goods after the war. have been adopted by Swiss chambers of com merce in connection with the estab- lishment of new national trade mark for all Swiss exports.
 The regulations provide that use of the trade mark be confined to firms two-thirds of whose capital is Swiss and to goods that actually are made in Switzerland exclusively by the Swiss. It is known that many firms operating in the country which are ostensibly Swiss, have been established by German capital, or acquired from their original owners by German manufacturers. in order that an apparently neutral outlet might be secured for German made goods in the postwar period. The president of the Geneva Cham Der of Commerce is quoted in ad- vices receiced here as stating that control of these will not be easy, but that the chamber is alive to the probability of improper use of the trade mark, and Swiss manu- facturers are being asked to bring cases of this kind to official notice.
