OVERCOME STARTING
MOTOR Difficulties
Engineering instructor Suggests
Plan for Treating Car.
Apply Heat 10 Intake Manifold, Gays
Z. v. coliIns ef the kansas State
Agricultural College - Pour
Hot Water Over.

The easiest way to overcome start
ing difficulties with an automobile in
cold weather Is to apply heat to the
intake manifold. in the opinion Of q.
v. Collins, instructor In steam and gas
engineering in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
Trouble In starting q car In cold
weather Is generally due to the fact
that the ordinary low grade Of gas
oline will not vaporize readily at low
temperatures.
The intake pipe leading from the
carburetor is usually vertical 90 that
gasoline will not pass through unless
It is vaporixed. The velocity Of air
through the carburetor and intake
pipe will hold the atomised gas In sus-
pension when the motor II once
started.
BY applying heat to the intake man.
fold enough liquid will be vaporized
SO that the motor will start readily.
In this case the entire mixture II
warmed rather than Just the gasoline.
Better results will be obtained than
where the motor Is primer with heated
gasoline Al j the air Is allowed to en-
ter the cyli.Gers cold.
The simplest way to apply heat to
the manifold is to pour hot water over
1t, care being taken not to get It into
the carburetor. Putting hot water into
the cooling system warns the cylin-
der walls but does not help to get the
mixture from the carburetor to the
cylinder and should not be necessary
II the intake Is warmed.

At Least rs Per Cent Of Grade
Crossing Casualties Could
Be Prevented.
Most Common Cause Is inability Of
Driver Of Motor to See Approach
Ing TraIn-Many Remedies
are Recommended.

Commenting on the annual report
Of Commissioner Gordon Of the Cali
fornia State Railroad commission,
Good Roads says:
Before considering the remedies for
crossing accidents It may be profitable
to review the situation briefly. In the
first place we are warranted In assum-
ing that very large proportion. GER
tainly 70 per cent, Of such accidents
are avoidable. In the second place It
seems evident that. excepting careless
ness and . few unusual causes such as
losing control Of the car because Of
some failure in the mechanism or
sudden physical disability Of the driv-
er, the most common II, not the only
real cause for. q crossing accident IL
the inability Of q driver to see an ap-
preaching train. It IL impossible, Of
course, to provide against the unusual
accidents that may occasionally occur.
It IL left then to find remedies for the
most common causes-reckless driv-
ing which accounts for the major por-
tion Of the accidents. and the inabil.
ity to see approaching trains.
Only Sure Remedy.
"The only sure remedy Is the sepa-
ration Of the grades at each intersec-
tion, and nothing should be allowed
to interfere with the accomplishment
of this a. fast as possible with the
funds available. But this work will
take time because of its great cost. To
effect a separation Of grades at all
highway and railway Intersections In
California alone. according to Com
missioner Gordon's statistics. would
cost over $500 QUO. 900. IN expenditure
which. as he pointed out. neither the
public nor the railroads could afford.
Other Remedies.
Leaving elimination out Of consid-
Grafton. there are still many remedies.
The more common ones include the In.
stallation Of gates. the stationing of
fiagmen. and the erection of mechanical
warning signals Of various kinds.
Gates, according to Commissioner Cor.
don. cost about 500 to install and
about 5000 yearly for operation and
maintenance; fiagmen cost about
5000 yearly. and automatic signals
from $3.50 to $500 for installation and
from &2l to $40 annually for main.

MISSOURI'S HEALTH
NEEDS URGENT

The annual death rate from tuber-
c~ulosis. as shown by a recent survey,
is 150, 900, which is a sacrifice of twice
as many men as the American army
lost in the year 1t was actively en-.
gagged in the World War. According to
reports from the surgeon generals
office, 100000 Of the men called to the
colors were afflicted with tuberculosis.
1t is such facts al these that have de-
termined the National tuberculosis
Association to increase its efforts to
stamp out this arch enemy to mankind.
Each state throughout the country will
conduct the fight at home and bear the
expense of its individual activities.
Some states have more funds at their
command than others.
The legislature of New York State
appropriates 1,O00.0 900 for public
health work annually; Massachusetts,.
1894 1000, and North Carolina spends
annually $144,9 91. 1.-THE general con-
sensus of opinion" according to a
United States Public Health Survey,
places the expenditure necessary
for satisfactory public health activities
in a community at about so cents per
capita"
In Missouri. but $4,000 was appro-
prfated by the last legislature for con.
trolling diseases Of the human family
and. through a technicality, this small
sum seems unavailable. Yet Missouri
stands thirty-fourth among the states
in point Of health. It is necessary,
therefore, for a volunteer body such as
the Missouri tuberculosis Association
to step in and do the health work.
This it plans to do through a con
structive health-education program
that contemplates, among other things.
cooperation with the State Board Of
Health and with the State Department
Of Education; Public Health instruc.
tion and training of health workers;
encouraging Of clinical, ~dispensary and
life extension service; conducting Of
rural health surveys; establishment Of
school and visiting nurse service; and
the direction of physical education and
playground activities. In the coun-
ties there will be formed health coun-
ellis with working chairmen; super
vision of school and visiting nurse
service will be undertaken; and care
will be provided for tuberculous SOL
diers.
The work of this organization 10
financed chiefly through the sale Of
the Red Cross Christmas Seals during
holiday season. These seals will go
on sale in Missouri December /. The
proceeds will be spent in Missouri.
Every sea bought is for the better
ment Of health standards of the state.

A
BRING HEALTH
TO MISSOURI

The little Red Cross Christmas Seal
began its career in 1907. These seals
were issued under the prestige Of the
American Red Cross, but the money
was raised and used by the National
Tuberculosis Association and its affili-
ated state and local societies in con-
Quoting the fight against tuberculosis
in this country.
One of these affiliated societies Is
the Missouri tuberculosis Association.
With the proceeds from the sale Of
the seal the Missouri Association and
affiliated local tuberculosis societies
have kept up a steady fight against
this enemy to the good health and citi-
zenship of the state. In the four years
from 1911 to 1915 the number of lives
saved in Missouri from tuberculosis
numbered 1853.
But the work is at yet hardly begun.
Out of the men examined for the draft
In Missouri, 1891 were rejected for
pulmonary tuberculosis, commonly
known as Consumption" Only three
states showed more reflections, and
these were the tuberculosis resort
states of Colorado, New Mexico and
Arizona. In 1918 there were 4,4S7
deaths from tuberculosis In Missouri.
1t is known that there are many more
incipient cases. A survey Of n county
showed 500 cases.
Medical science has proved that
tuberculosis Is ~preventable and cur
able. The Red Cross Christmas Seal
makes possible a campaign to seek out
these cases, particularly among the
rejected drafted men, to teach them
the proper car Of themselves, to make
treatment available and to educate the
public to the proper methods Of build.
ing up resistance to this disease.
BY means of 1t more clinics, more COM
munity nurses can be provided.
The tuberculosis germ readily finds
lodging with the children. 1t Is well
established that 10 per cent Of all In
lection takes place before the patient
reaches 10 years Of age. Twelve
thousand children in this country n
der FIVE years of age died in one year
Of this disease. If a child is we'll nour-
ished and has good health habits, he
maintains his resistance, preventing
the development Of the disease. The
Red Cross Christmas Seals IAN teach
Missouri children these habits. They
can teach mothers the proper food to
provide. They can make forever i'm
possible a report like that from n
county. where Of 245 children ex.
amined in six schools, "a per cent tal-
most o~ne-fourth) were 10 per cent
below normal weight. Authorities on
children's health consider that a child
who is as much as 10 per cent under
weight has something seriously wrong
with him.
The Red Cross Christmas Seal a
make It possible for the Missouri
tuberculosis Association to put on a
Standardization program that is wider
in scope than before attempted. to
,end out more nurses, provide tuber-
.ulosis clinics, make surveys and i'm
prove health conditions in the state.
The little seal will make its appear
nce December /. This year $4,000
700 will be offered in Missouri. Every
sitisen in Missouri will have an oppor-
unity to purchase these seals, which
mean Good Health and q lowered death
ate to the state.
