The grand monarch" lavshed vast sums in laying out com pleting and maintaining this magnificent royal seat. The court came here permanently about 1882, and from that time for more than 100 years Versailles figured prominently in history.

Alcohol is the cheapest and one of the best anti-freeze liquids on the mar ket for the automobile, according to W. \. Buck, instructor in gas and steam engineering in the Kansas State Agricultural college.

 Several antizfreeze solutions are on the market, but the majority of these are composed of glycerin and alcohol the elycern being used to stop the excessive evaporation of the alcohol This addition of glycerin is not imperative, however. as there Is little evaporation unless the solution is brought to the boiling point by the oyerheatlng of the engine

If, after the deearbonizer has been applied, these parts are found to be clean, 1t is preSumptve evidence that the piston heads and other not readily accessible internal surfaces are also free of deposits. Unless these preeau- tions are taken it sometimes happens that even though later examinations show the decarbonizer to have had but little effect, the owner being in a state of mind to expect the best re- suits, thinks that his engine is clean when this is not the case.

REMOVEE: CARBON
 FROM AZ ENGlNE:
Oxygen Method of Burning Out Is Applicable to Nearly All
 ContrNanGeS.
HAND ScRApING IS SUREST
In Use of Liquid Decarbonizers No Direct Indication Is Given at Time of the Effectiveness of
 the Treatment.

When an engine becomes earbonized 10 the point that premature ignition occurs as evidenced by the occurrence of the "carhon knock the deposits must be removed and the removal of the incruStationS by hand sefapihg is altogether the surest method, most du- tharitieS agree.
 Engines having detachable cylinder heads can be cleaned by scraping with the greatest facility, but those that have not often require expensive dis assembling to enable thorough scrap ing to be performed. Still by the use of specially adapted scraping tools most engines having valve openings of liberal diameters and cylinder-head plugs can be pretty well cleaned with out their being taken apart.
 Oxygen Method.
 The oxygen method Of burning out deposits is applicable to nearly all en- zines with cast-iron pistons and is fairly thorough i'll it's results. When oxygen is applied until no further com hustion can be obtained in any part of the compression space it is certain that the cleaning Is complete.
 This process requires no disassem- bling of the engine and can be per formed very cheaply if the owner can obtain the use of the necessary outfit to do the work himself and pay only for the oxygen used. In the use of liquid decarboniZers, no direct indica- tion is given at the time of the effec- tiveness of the treatment, as is the case with hand seraping and the oxy- gen method.
 In order to be sure that thorough cleaning has been accomplished q valve cap or two should be removed before the application is made and the thickness of the deposit upon the in side of the cap and on the accessible parts of the valve chambers should be noted.

Upon his arrival he was questioned
regarding the case. He remembered
the order and gave us a good de-
scription of the man who had pur-
chased the wine.
This description was sent to the
Central Records Office with a request
that they supply us with the name,
rank and organization of the person
described II he was a member of our
army. A report came back that there
was no one answering that descrip-
ton who was connected with the
American army as an officer.
On the next day Levy came into my
office with a letter from Gordon to
rush the next shipment of wine, as
the army needed it, and to advise
care the station agent at Soucy. when
the shipment would be made. A
| letter was made up and a man sent on
the next train and told to shadow the
man who called for the letter We
followed the letter through the
French post Office, but no one claimed
| It. although II disappeared from the
station. From this we were sure that
the station agent was i'm league with
the gang. Young Levy, with two Of
our men, was sent to Paris in an en-
deavor to find the man Gordon there.
They came back, however, and re-
ported that they could not locate hlI~
We then determined TO lay trap
for them. So Levy was told to ship
Ave more cars of wine to the same
place. Men were detailed to cover the
station and also to accompany the
l Ill
needed in dealing with the situation at
soucy. for II the agent was in the
plot. as we suspected. it made it an
easy matter for the swindlers to he
warned and frightened away-and
then we never could catch them. The
shipment was ready. We had special
orders issued by the railroad officials
Ito rush the shipment through. and we
