Foreign Trade of
 Brazil is Growing
 At Splendid Rate

Rio De Janerio, Aug. 15.-lCorres- pondence of The Associated Press )- The foreign trade of Brazil during the first half of 1919, IS regarded as very encouraging. An increased eXpolta- tion of some of BraziIs staple con- moditics, such as coffee, rubber, cocoa, chilled beef, hides, oil-bearing fruits, etc., as we'll aas the high prices winch these articles have commanded, leaves q very respectable trade balance. That Brazil has rapidly forged ahead com mercially during the years of the war is generally conceded. The countrys s agricultural possibilities are as yet practically unexploited, and th9 war acted as a stimulus toward ascertain ing the wide range of her prodoctlV- ity.
 Brazil has been able to export to Europe foodstutfs which, a few years ago, she was not able to supply to herself. In the same way, animal husbandry is making strides winch point to make meat products one ot the countrys chief exports. While Brazil has always been cattle-pro- ducing country, it is only during the last three or four years that she has been looked upon as World suppller and even more recently several large modern packing houses have been constructed or projected. These are financed principally by American packing interests.
 In the past year the federal gov ernment, through the agricultural de- partment, has devoted considerable attention to the importation and pur- chase of animals of pure blood. It IS proposed to carry on an extensive ed ucational campaign among the live stock breeders of Brazil to improve the standard of cattle. For this pur- pose the government intends to make liberal money appropriations.
 David Harrell, commissioner ot the United States Department of Agrlcul- ture, accompanied by an assistant has just arrived in Brazil to make ar investigation of the cattle industry and give information to Brazilian cat tie raisers regarding the importation
 of North American cattle.

Petition of Little
 Rock Against Gas Co.
 is Under Advisement

Little Rock, Oct. 3.-The petition of the city of Little Rock, asking that the Arkansas Natural Gas company be required to build an auxiliary. 1G-inch pipe line thru the Sulphur river bottoms from high ground on one side of the rive to high ground on the ether, a distance of mile and a half, was taken under advisement by the Arkansas corporation com- mission at a meeting Thursday afternoon. The city was represen- ted by City Attorney John F. Cliff ford and the gas company by attor- ney w. B. Smith. John R. Munce, vice president and general manager of the company, who was present at the hearing said the company was prepared to lay an S-inch auxiliary line This size line, he stated, with other improvements contemplated, will be adequate even in the most ex- treme weather He also said he did not believe the company would be able % get enough 1O-inch pipe to complete the line before the end of the year, but that an S-lnch llne could be installed before cold wealth CT.
 J. H. Rice, city engineer, and k. E. Williams, consulting engineer, re- commended 10-inch pipe line across the river.
 The hearing Thursday is the out growth of a stoppage in the flow of gas last winter as the results of breaks in the line in the Sulphur river bottoms near Aexarkana. A number of Arkansas cities, including Little Rock and Pine Bluff were to- tally without gas for a number of weeks due to the break in the line.

P. E.. J. writes: My eight cylin- der engine starts readily, when once warmed up. but when cold requires priming and, after starting, frequen- tlv stalls and requires second cranking. Wheu finally started, it seems inclined to run away with itself' as if all the gas fed took ef- feet at once. Please explain and sug- gest remedy.
 Answer: The reason that it re- ouires priming is that, in it's cold condition, the carburetor fails to fur nish the cylinders mixture rlch enough to be ignitable. The remedy for this situation is to cause such an excess of gasoline tv be fed through the carburetor that enough of the readily vaporizable portions of the fuel will be sure to enter the cylln- ders to insure inflammability. This is usually done by choking the alr inlet of the carbuerator almost con- pletely so that hardly any air enters or by setting the carburetor adjust ment temporarily very rich. Some times both expedients are adopted at once. If the priming is all burned before the carburetor begins to de diver an ignitable mixture, the en- zine will stall and this is probably the case with yours. IT you choke your carburetor and give 1t rlcf adjustment before attempting te start, we do not see what more vol can do, except to heat the carbureto1 and intake system in some way. W'

greatest latitude in their choice Of
