on the theory that the starter was
carelessly or maliciously operated by
unauthorized persons when the cars
were left unattended in lonely places.
AS a matter of fact, many cars, IN
der favorable conditions. can be
moved considerable distances by
means of the energy in a we'll charged
battery. Locking the starting mo-
tor by interrupting its electric cir

How Carburetor Works.

The gasoline engine burns a fuel
composed of a properly proportioned
mixture of gasoline vapor and air and
the carburetot is the device which
supplies these two ingredients and
mingles them. The accompanying
diagram represents rudtmentary
foat-feed spraying carburetor, which
is the type generally used on motor
cars. Its outlet o Is piped to the in
take Of the engine and when one
of its pistons moves down upon it's

Non-Glare Lenses.

H. A. S. writes: The anti-glare
lenses on my headlamps have cut
down their light so much that they
are no good. What can be done about
this?
. Answer: Assuming that your lenses
are correctly fitted. the only thing
that you can do is to discard them
for a better kind. There are ap-
proved lenses upon the market
which do not affect the usefuln ess
of headlights to any such extent as
yours seem to have done. Try a kind
that is in successful use on other cars
that come under your observation at
night.

American Legion Will
Support Johnson Bill

New York, Aug. 26.-Through its
legislative committee in washing
ton, The American Legion, repre-
senting 5000 local organizations of
American veterans of the Great
War. will give its active support to
the Johnson bill in Congress which
calls for the deportation of unde-
sirable aliens and denies readmis-
sion to deported enemy aliens. This
bill has already been passed in the
House and is now before the SEN
ate committee on Naturalization
and immigration. Under it's pro-
visions enemy aliens who have been
interned at Fort Mcpherson, Ga.
and other concentration camps may
be sent out of the country.
Section 2 of the bill stipulates
that, THE fact that aliens were
ordered interned or were convicted
of any offenses against the United
States Government shall be deemed
prima facie evidence that said al
lens are undesirable and in every
case in which any such alien is
ordered expelled or excluded from
the United States under the provis-
ions of this act the decision of the
Secretary of Labor shall be final.
1t is further provided that in ad-
dition to aliens who are by law now
excluded from admission into the
United States, all persons who shall
be expelled under any of the pro-
visions of this act shall also be eX-
cluded from readmisSion.

SPARTACANS GOT
GERMAN MONEY
Public Funds Taken in Loot
During the Revolu-
ton

Berlin, Aug. &c. Enormous
amounts of public money were di-
verted into the pockets of the Spar
tacans during the revolution in Ber-
lin last winter, which was led by
the then Chief of Police Eichhorn,
according to information obtained
by Parliamentary Commission
which is investigating the admins
tration of the fugitive former police
chief.
Police officials who have examin-
ed Eichhorn's ledger say it is i'm
possible to determine how great
was the amount taken by the Spar
tacans. Evidence has been submit
ted that Eichhorn's security guard
who was on duty at the railway
station during the outbreak helped
himself to six million marks of army
funds which had been brought from
Rumania.
Auditors asserted that Eichhorn
made frequent raids on the official
treasury through faxed acquisitions
and even drew funds for which no
accounts were rendered. In one
instance, these are alleged to have
totalled more than 100000 marks.
One hundred thousand cigars and
40 smoked hams confscated by the
old police regime have mysteriously
disappeared.

How You May Reduce

Overstoutness is a very unwelcome
condition, especially in the present
! day when slender figures are so popu-

who has noticed tendency to put on
weight will be glad to know of n
new, simple home treatment that is
remarkably efficient and inexpensive
If you happen to be one of those
whose weight is more than it should
be. don't try to reduce by starving
yourself; eat all you want but take
after each meal and at bed times FIVE
grains of phynola which you can Sc
cure at any drug store.
Phynola is designed to increase the
oxygen carrying power of the blood
and dissolves fatty tissue. in many
cases at the rate of a pound a day.

In order, therefore. to correct the

the following recommendations are
made.
That the Government acquire all
cars used for the transportation of

Government monopoly; or that such
cars be owned and operated by the
railroads under Government license
regulation.
That the Government acquire all

operation be declared a Government
monopoly; or that such cars and
equipment be owned and operated
by the railroads under Government

These recommendations contem-
plate the acquisition and operation
not only of the livestock cars and
refrigerator cars, but also of all
necessary facilities for their opera
ton, such as car shops for their
construction and repair, feeding
and watering facilities for live stock

WOULD HAVE GOVERNMENT
OPERATE ALL REFRIGERATOR
CARS ON EQUAL TERMS
Federal Trade Commission Points Out That 80 Per
of This Railroad Equipment Is Owned by the Five
Big Chicago Packers

Washington, Aug. 26.-Ascribing
one of the principal factors in the
concentration of control of the
American meat industry. and show
ing that the Big Five Chicago pack
ers own more than 80 per cent of
the equipment suitable for ship
ment of fresh beef and carcass
meats. the Federal Trade Commits
sion to-day made public a special
Private Car Line Report" to the
President. 1t recommends as a
remedy that all cars used for the
transportation of meat animals and
all refrigerator cars and equipment
be operated on equal terms to all
shippers.
THE most important types of
private cars considered" says the
Commissions letter of transmittal
to the, President, ARE the brine
tank refrigerator car equipped for
the transportation of dressed meat
carCasses, and the ventilator re-
frigerator car suitable for packing
house products and for vegetables
and fruits. The three principal
classes of owners are the packers,
the railroads, and private car COM
panies leasing their equipment to
shippers and railroads.
The complete report will be
ready for distribution within two
weeks.
Packers Own Most Cars

their control of the meat industry,
the report says. On December 81,
1917, they owned 15, ,454 brine tank
cars, adapted to the shipment of
fresh beef and carcass meats, which
is over 80 per cent of the total
equipment of this type of car. Their
ownership, until recently, of acces-
sorry facilities such as icing stations
and platforms located advanta-
geously in trunk line territory
strengthened their control over the
industry.
In turn, the volume of traffic of
the five packers has enabled them to
secure from the railroads advan-
tages over competing shippers.
Formerly in the shape of direct re-
bates, these advantages are now
usually in expedited service to the
big packer cars, III laNOTdble lIllA-

New York, Aug. 26-Ten trunks
containing arms and ammunition
were shipped from this city to Mex
leo on the steamship Moro Castle
which sailed last Friday for Havana
for Progreso and Vera Cruz, ac-
cording to information obtained yes

The bomb squad detectives, VINO

secret ammunition stores here, first
learned of the shipment through
discovery, of bill of sale showing
1900 rounds of ammunition and
$50 pounds of "talcum" powder had
been purchased on August 16 from
large sporting goods house in this
city and consigned to an address
which the detectives found to be

They discovered that the explo-

of the Mexican government, were
registered until last Friday.
The detectives believe they took
passage on the Moro Castle with
the ten trunks of ammunition.
After the hotel had been searched d
for additional stores of explosives,
the detectives raided an uptown
