The glorious Fourth of July passed
off very quietly at Oak Orchard and
Sunday Landing. Boats were kept
busy carrying passengers from one
resort to the other to meet old ac-
quaintances. Hundreds of autos were

large crowd and Rehoboth was not
forgotten in the evening.

lower? No, not while there is a vac
uum in the upper. So here is another
problem, and what shall we do? OBJ
viously the liquid cannot flow from
the upper to the lower chamber in a
constant stream, but could we make it
flow periodically? Let us see. If we
make vacuum in the upper chamber
and then draw gasoline from the sup
ply tank until the chamber is full, and
then open the chamber to the atmos-
phere, Will the gas flow to the lower
chamber? Why, yes.
How Is Vacuum Made.
How, then, can We cause a vacuum
to form in the upper chamber when
1t is empty and open it to the at
mosphere when full? This could be
done by valves, but how can the valves
be operated? Why, by a float. Thus
we have the construction shown in
Fig. 2.
&C." is the pipe by which the air is
drawn out of the chamber and "A the
valve which will open and close it.
'V," is a pipe open to the air, and

vention.
How is the vacuum obtained? When
the engine is running there is a vac.
uum in the inlet manifold, and so il
the pipe, &C." is connected to the
manifold, this vacuum will also form
in the vacuum or Upper chamber.
In order to prevent the liquid be.
ing sucked from the lower to the
upper chamber, check, or as it Is
| called, flapper valve, III" is placed on
the tube, through which the gasoline

Note that the mouth of the pipe
leading to the carburetor is higher
| than the bottom of the tank. This
| Is to allow the water to settle in the
bottom and not flow to the carburet
or. 1t is a good plan, therefore, to
drain out about cup full of the liquid
once a week, through the pet cock

lating the amount Of air which it will
pump.
When the engine has stood idle for
while the pressure will leak out Of
the tank, and so some method must
be furnished to get the pressure In
the tank for starting, as the engine
driven pump will work only when the
engine is running. For this purpose a
hand pump is furnished, it being
placed in some position convenient to
the driver, as on the instrument board,
or the front board of the drivers seat.
Valve Is Connected.
The pump usually has valve
placed at it's mouth, which valve can
be turned so as to connect the pump
to the piping to the tank-which
would be it's position when preparing
to start or when pumping-it can be
turned so as to disconnect the pump
and the piping, or really shut off the
piping from the pump-which would
be the position when running-and 1t
can be turned SO as to let the pres
sure escape from the tank.
AS it is desirable to know what
pressure is in the tank, a pressure
guage is usually connected to the
piping and placed on the instrument
board.
Let us go over the illustration and
study the action. When it is desired
to start, the lever, X" is turned sc
that the pump valve is in the pump
ing position, and then air is pumped
until the guage reads two pounds
about. by moving the handle, "E,
back and forth. When there Is two
rounds pressure in the tank the en-
CINE driven pump will then pump al,
into the tank to take the place Of the
gasoline which has gone to the carbu
rotor.
Note, that when pumping, the all
can go to the tank through the pipe
co." or to the gauge through the pipe
Co." and that the engine-driven pump
also is connected. by the pipe, "P, ,
to both the tank and gauge.
The great fault with this system is
that it is difficult to keep the air from
leaking out. The filler cap, "F," be
ing the greatest place of leakage
This fault led to the invention of the
vacuum system, which is now used or
most cars.
The Vacuum System.
Let us imagine we are inventine
such a system. Suppose we had {

then in some way draw all the air ou
Of the tank, or in other words, created
a vacuum in it. What would happen
Why the gasoline because of the pres
sure of the atmosphere, would bt
forced, or as is generally said, sucked
up through the pipe,"D," from the
supply tank to the tank, "E."
If the bottom of the tank had :
pipe running from it to the carburetor
placed much lower, would the gaso
| line then flow to the carburetor? 1
! would not; as, if the gasoline wa!
| sucked up from the supply tank be
cause of the vacuum, the gasoline
would also be sucked up from thu
carburetor, instead of flowing to it.
Thus, here is a problem. This, how
ever, at first glance, can be taken car
of by having the tank divided int
two CHAMBERS, an upper and lower
and having the lower open to the at
bosphere, as shown in Fig. 1. Thi
will permit the gasoline to flow from
the lower chamber to the carbureto1
but will it flow from the upper to tn

In the last lesson we saw how the
carburetor does its work. Let us now
see how the gasoline reaches the car
buretor
There are two ways of placing the
gasoline supply tank; namely higher
than the carburetor, as under the
seat or cowl; or in the rear Of the
car, where it will be lower than the
carburetor.
There is practically no problem in
feeding the gasoline to the carburetor
when the tank is higher than it, as
the gasoline will simply flow to it by
gravity. 1t is, however, often neces-
sary to make the manifold very long,
so as to ge1 the carburetor low en-
ough, thus increasing the tendency to
condense. Sometimes when the car is

will, therefore, have to be some
means furnished for forcing the gas
up to this higher level.
This is done in two ways; namely,
by the pressure feed system, and by
the vacuum system. The latter, how
ever, is fast replacing the former.
The Pressure Feed System.
The upper drawing shows the lay
out of a pressure feed system. If the
tank, "a" is made air tight and air
then be forced into it under pressure,
it will press down on every square
inch Of the surface of the liquid, and
SO force the liquid to flow up through
the pipe, 3D." and thus up to the car
buretor
Two methods are used to get the air
pressure; namely, by a pump driven

Vocational Education
For Disabled Soldiers

Many people have come to Colo
mel James B. Kemper. in charge
of the Harrisburg recruiting dis
trict. with headquarters at S25 Mar
ket street, for various kind OF in
formation pertaining to the Army
and what it is doing for dis
abled soldiers. So many have
made these inquiries that the
Colonel makes the following state
ment: 1T is readily conceived that
some form of cooperation must exist
between the educational work car
ried on in the hospitals and that
given by the Federal Board of Voca-
tional Education after the discharge
of disabled soldiers. This must be
so, otherwise the training given to
disabled men during their long per-
iod of convalescence might have no
bearing on their future employment
while all educational work used
as an adjunct to the hospital care is
primarily 'curative'-that is, aiding
in the more rapid recovery of the pa
tients, yet whenever possible 1t is
given a practical trend toward the
ultimate occupations. Every course
prescribed is brought down to the
most practical, most essential points
in the subject to be taught. Instead
of a blunderbuss method OF educa-
ton each course can be compared
to a rife shooting a single ball aim
ed at a definite single target.
Monographs have been prepared
in the following general fields OF In
struction:
- General education, mathema-
tics. English, penmanship.
"2. Commercial subjects, book
keeping and accounting, telegraphy,

"3. Industrial and technical sub
iects. automobile mechanics, draft

-. Agricultural subjects, agricul-
turaI specialties, dairy husbandry,
dairy industry. farm mechanics,
fruit growing, forestry. hog-raising,
poultry husbandry, vegetable garden
ing.
IS, Physical education.
The Colonel adds that the educa-
tional advantages in the Army at the
present time are exceptional, and
that Young men between the ages of
lis and 40 can now enlist in any
branch of the service and learn while
they earn. Cmopetent instructors
are at every military station and af-
ter a term of enlistment in the Army
the soldier will be benefited mental
