TRACING A LEAK OF VALVES
Packing Very Frequently Becomes
Soft and Trouble Follows-Ex-
anime All Baskets.

In overhead valve engines, where
the valves are carried in removable
cages. gaskets are used to give a tight
joint when the cage is screwed in
place. This packing very frequently
becomes soft and the result Is a leak
around the valve, which may be diff
cult to locate unless one is aware Of
this likelihood. Similarly In multi
cylinder engines the gaskets used at
the point where the intake manifold
joins the different cylinders should
be carefully examined whenever the
manifold is taken off, as leaks are
likely to develop here.

SMALL BOY STEALS A HITCH
Youngsters May Be Kept or Spare
Tire Holder by Use Of Strip
Of Spiked Metal.

The cry Of u childhood, whip be-
hind !" is out Of date, but the need for
a substitute is very much here. Boys
have a trick Of stealing rides on the
spare tire holder, when it is In the
rear Of the car; this is bad for the tire
holder, and 1t may be much worse for
the boy If he happens to fall Off at the
wrong time. A strip of spiked metal
material, such as frequently adorns
park ratings and similar places, may
make the tire holder too uncomfortable
a seat even for the ambitious small
boy intent on stealing q hitch.

USE GAS TO QUIET CHICKENS
Fall or the Roasting Places and Are
Easy Prey for Thieves
In Ohio.

Springfield. OhiO.-Chicken thieves
are using gas in looting the hen coops
Of Clark County. Farmers in the vicin-
ity of Buena Vista, near this city, have
noticed Il peculiar Odor in their chicken
ceops after thieves have been there.
The mystery was explained when one
farmer found a chicken under n of
the roosts which he took for dead.
He tossed it in the barn yard and In
a few minutes the chicken recovered
and walked away. Farmers say the
gas puts the chickens to sleep, they
fall of the roosting places and are
easy prey for the thieves.
