LIVING MONUMENT TO DEAD
Town to Care for One French Orphan
for Each Of Its Dead
Soldiers.

Chicago-Twenty- little French
war orphans constitute living monu-
ment which Clarinda, Ia, has planned
for its soldier dead. A fund has been
contributed by its citizens to care for
one little war waif for each Clarinda
boy who died in France, that their
names may be kept alive, to be loved
and honored on both sides of the wa
ter. The family of each dead hero will
receive letters regularly from one
small protege who during its whole
lifetime will hold the name of their
boy in reverence.
The Clarinda citizens have paid
S36.50-1O cents a day-for each child's
support for a year, through the Fa-
therless Children of France, an Ameri-
can organization with headquarters at
40 South Michigan avenue, Chicago,
cooperating with a similar one in
France, of which Marshal Joffre Is the
head. The organization will see that
the adoption of each child Is made in
the name of and as memorial to a
dead soldier of Clarinda. The town
plans to repeat this sum annually for
each child until it is capable of caring
for itself.

the stupefaction that held her. With
teverish haste she snatched up gar
ments from the chair on which she had
carefully placed them in anticipation
of the emergency that now presented
itself. A blouse (Which she neglected
to button), short skirt of some dark
material. jacket. and a pair Of stout
walking shoes (Which she failed to
lace), completed the swift transforma-
ton. AS she glided to the window, she
jammed the pins into small black
hat of felt. Then she peered over the
ledge.
She started back, sitting a cry with
her hand. A mans head had almost
come in contact with her own as she
leaned out. A mans hand reached
over and grasped the inner ledge Of
the easement, and then a mans face
was dimly revealed to her startled
gaze.

TRACTOR TROUBLE REMEDIES


Failure Of the engine is always due
to one or more of the following rea-
sons, according to John 8. Glass:
/. Lack of inflammable fuel.
3. No spark to ignite the charge.
8. No compression.
4. Improper valve action.
Fuel troubles can be traced to the
following:
No explosion. Probably an empty
tank. No fuel reaches cylinder or an
gine is flooded. Valves in fuel line
may be closed.
2. Weak explosion when cranking.
Results from water in the gasoline.
Drain the tank and strain fuel through
q chamois to remove water. Improper
mixture from carburetor. Leak in man
fold.
3. Engine starts, but runs for only
a short time. Air hole in cap to fuel
tank filled with mud. Fuel pipe partly
stopped up. Remove the pipe and clean
out. If there is strainer between
the fuel tank and the carburetor the
trouble is probably there. Be sure en-
g.ne is warmed up before change from
gasoline to kerosene.
4. Fuel reaches carburetor, com
preston and spark o. K, but does not
fire. Results from kerosene in the car
buretor in place of gasoline. Drain
carburetor and prime each cylinder
with gasoline. Needle valve may be
closed. Leaky manifold.
Engine starts with choker on, but
stops when it is open. Too lean mix
ture. Probably loose intake mani
fold connection, or air adju5t
not right.
8. Plenty Of gasoline in carburetor
and cylinders, but engine will not
start. 1t is flooded; open the co:ks
and dense vapor will come out. Turn
the engine over several times, then
prime it carefully with gasoline and
crank again.
