tBy BARNEY oLDF1ELD.)

Several times in the course of my
racing career l have had to pull up
alongside the track or road and watch
the other boys speeding on to victory,
while i, by decree of the great god
dess, Chance, was out of it because
excessive ~overheating had burned my
engine up. So what 1 am going to
say in regard to the causes of over
heating comes, so to speak, from the
heart.
While overheating is more common
ly encountered in hot weather, it &C.
curs even in the coolest regions The
ordinary owner probably considers it
a nuisance, but little more. AS "a mat

Plants Trees Along Roads.

DIR. ]. 70. Westlake, of Virden, ILL.,,
has started a campaign in behalf of
fruit tree planting along the public
highways. He favors the planting Of
a fruit tree on every mile of the coun-
try roads and suggests that the Boy
Scout organizations serve as guar
dams of the trees after they are plant
ed. He estimates the cost for the
county would be about $4,000. He
has launched a similar campaign in
other counties of the state.-Chicago

one of hem is n utility model depend
ing upon wide tucks and conspicuous
buttons for garnishing. The three

of the back also, and five buttons on
each band mark the termination of five
wide tucks in the side panels, that dis
appear under the bands. The narrow
belt slips under straps of cloth and
fastens with Il small buckle at the
front.
A dressier suit of velours shows n
repetition of set-in panels at each side
of the coat, but these panels are made
| of narrow vertical plaits set on under
the arms. They extend eight inches
below the bottom of the coat and are
finished with a band of fur. There is
n long shawl collar of fur, and the mar

other pelts which are not so easy to
recognize, are chosen for suits, but
the limits of our choice are much

The motortrucks generally in use

small ones whose nominal capacity is
usually from one to two tons. In

the country the trucks used for haul

Some Of the Causes.
There are a number of different
aus of ~overheating, some mechan-
ical, some functional and others due
simply to the bad driving of the OPP
orator. One of the most frequent
causes of overheating is simply driv-
ing with the spark retarded. When
the spark is held this way the piston
is on its way down in the cylinder be-

Finance Economics

The decided rise yesterday in the
railroad shares and steel stocks
helped to create a better feeling
about the market. The most spec
tacular rises were still in special is
sues, and the same industries, mo-
tor, oil, tobacco, were favored as
they have been favored for the past
three weeks. About a fortnight
ago it was frequently pointed out
that the rise had all been in special
ties. The inference drawn was that
a market in specialties is always a
professional market. But it is a
mistake to judge a market without
reference to industry. For the
stocks which were rising were the
stocks of industries over which hung
the least uncertainty. Now even the
stocks of "uncertain" industries, the
railroads and the steel companies,
are rising.

from 26 cents to ] 5 cents. The
porphyry companies used to be con-
sidered low cost producers in nor
NAL times, but in their last reports
1t cost them II to 20 cents a pound
to turn out copper, and now they
offer it at 15 cents, and nobody
wants it, and their export market,
