are greatly hampered by the strike of
the shop workers. This was not au-
thorized by the national unions, and it
began to collapse when the president
told the men their demands would not
be considered until they resumed work.
Both England and France are ham
ding their tremendous labor difficulties
fairly well. In the former the strike
of city policemen seems to be a fail
ure, though in Liverpool it was accom-
panied by serious rioting. In France
the workers have sensibly agreed to
postpone all strikes for six months and
meantime they will join with the en-
ployers and the government in earnest
efforts to solve the problems of wages
and prices to stimulate greater pro-
duction, which alone, it is believed,
can save their country from economic
disaster. It would be an unmeasur-
able blessing if some of the common
sense that has moved the French la
borers to keep up production could be
instilled in the American workers so
they might realize that in cutting off
production they are cutting their own

After Bella Kun and his communist
government of Hungary quit and made
way for the Socialists things moved
rapidly in Budapest. The Roumanian
army, which had routed the Hungarian
Red troops, advanced to the city and
occupied it, and Roumania issued an
ultimatum to Hungary which was not
countenanced by the allied peace coun-
Gil. Therefore French and American
troops were sent to Budapest and as
sumed control and the Roumanians
were told they must get out. Next the
socialist government was overthrown
and it's members arrested and Arch
duke Joseph assumed power with the
title Of governor of the state. He was
supported by the entente mission in
the city and announced he would form
coalition cabinet with Stephen
Friedrich as premier.

The Austrian peace delegates made
their counter-proposals to the treaty
were Unexpectedly mild and the COM
plants of the Austrians are almost
pathetic. They assert that too much
territory is taken from their country,
citing especially the Tyrol and south
ern Bohemia, and say the war debt
loaded on them is so heavy they are
not sure the Austrian people can exist
under such conditions.

Died On Way To Milan

Mrs. Elizabeth McEfee, widow
of the late ]. R. McEfee, died
while sitting in an automobile at
Browning last Friday afternoon.
She had been in a dangerous
condition for many weeks from
heart disease and was advised by
her physician not TO attempt to go
to- Milan, but she was persistent
and the start was made. She was
accompanied by Dr.. F. w. Burke,
Mrs. G. W. Thompson, who has
been taking care of her for some
time, and Mrs. Clay, in the latter S
car.
A short stop was made at Brown
ing. She was asked how she was
standing the trip and replied that
she was all right but had hardly
got the words out of her mouth
until she was dead.
The remains were taken on to
Milan where the funeral was held
Sunday afternoon, and burial made
at that place according to plans
she had previously made.
She was 76 years of age in Sep
tember and had lived in Laclede
many years. The husband died
several weeks ago from injuries he
received from the fall from a second
story window at their home, They
had no children.
The will disposing of the estate
has not been made public, but it is
understood that Mrs. Geo. W.
Thompson, a niece by marriage, gets
the fine home in this city, ,all furni-
ture and belongings as we'll as
sharing in the balance of the estate
which is valued at something like
$50, 900.

members of the faculty, Misses
Small, Meyers and Machin, cele-

of the afternoon.

school yells and songs, a big
bonfire down town, followed by
eats, composed the evening pro-
gram. Paul Sensintaffar and
and Harold Linn led the yells
while Harry Glover and Miss Jean
Brown were the stump" speakers.
Can there be anything the matter
with the spirit of the Laclede high
school when the rain doesn't drive

Monday morning the student
body held mass meeting to pay
tribute to the teams. Cheers and
yelIs that sounded we'll to very
critical ears were given as the
players lined up in front of the
assembly hall. Miss Trippeer,
superintendent, spoke appropriate
ly to the students about their plays
and their victories, and then all
went back to work with just
little bit more pep than before.

Opportunities For u. S.
Capital Seen In Ecuador
(By Associated Press)

DENVER, Col, Aug. with a pop
ulation smaller than that of Phila-
delphia, and an area slightly larger
than that Of Arizona, Ecuador offers
alluring opportunities for American
capital and enterprise, is the opinion
of Charles w. Copeland. American
vice counsel at Guayaquill. who is now
in Denver.
Partial toward Americans, genial in
disposition, practical though a bit dill
atory in their business dealings, and
slightly inclined toward superstition
the Ecuadorians. according to Mr.
Copeland, possess a blend of charac-
teristics puzzling though not displeas-
ing to an AngloSaxon mind.
AT first the average American bus
mess man is likely to be vexed by
the constant attitude ON 'manana,

is as good as our today. He pays

u. s. INTEREST RATE
TOO HIGH, COMPLAINT
MADE BY BELCIANS
(By Associated Press)

BRUSSELS, Friday, Aug bel
gian industrial and financial needs
are being discussed in a series of con-
ferences between Belgian and Ameri-
can officials. The first meeting today
was attended by representatives Of
the Guaranty Trust Company, National
City Bank, American International
Corporation and the foreign banking
corporation, all of New York, and
Henry H. Morgan, United States con-
sui general. Harry Ceilings, American
trade commissioner, and NJ. Thys, rep
resenting the Ministry of Economic
affairs.
The meeting revealed the fact that
Belgian industry has taken only $14,-
100000 Of the $50,000,000 credits es-
tablished several months ago because
the loans are too short in proportion
to the high rate of interest. The Bel
CLANS explain there is great need
of longtime loans at reasonable rates.
The present exchange on the dollar
makes a As per cent increase in the
cost to Belgian purchasers Of Ameri-
can goods and If the dollar goes to
eight francs, it will mean a "a per
cent increase.
This condition 1T was pointed out
naturally initiated against American
exports. On the other hand the con
dition of the mark at the present time
made it possible to buy goods in Ger
many more than 100 per cent cheaper
than in America.

studied it, (Which would be a
fair carburetor for constant
speed engine), we see that
when the engine is on its suction
stroke a vacuum is created which
will extend to the manifold and the
carburetor. thus causing a spray Of
gasoline to issue from the nozzle, at
the same time that there is rush
of air through the opening, d.
which air, as it goes to the cylinder,
will pick up and mix with the spray
ing gasoline thus causing an explo-
sive mixture to enter the cylinders.
AS the gasoline sprays out of the
nozzle, the level in the float chamber
will be lowered and thus the float
and weights M" drop, causing the
needle 49," to raise, and so the open
ing, "P, be unobstructed by the
needle. Fresh gasoline will thus en-
ter the float chamber to take the place
of that carried to the cylinders.

The Carburetor

Suppose we had tank or chamber,
as 'A", in the illustration, partly filled
with a liquid. and to this chamber
had a tube or nozzle. "B". connected
the opening of which nozzle was about
1-32 Of an inch above the level of the
liquid. Now let us further suppose
that in sor1e way we can make the
pressure of the air on top Of the liquid
in chamber "A", greater than that on
the LIQUID at the opening of the nOz-
zle.
What would happen under the above
circumstances? Why, the liquid would
squirt or spray out of the nozzle.
Upon the above action the design
of practically all of the present day
carburetors is based. l beg the reader
therefore, TO clearly understand the
above, and also each of the other &C
tions given below, before proceeding
further as knowledge of these the
cries" will help him much in trouble
locating and in getting the most power
out of his engine.
Let US make few observations
upon what will affect the quantity or
speed of flow of the liquid sprayed.
Naturally the difference of the pres
sure in the chamber "A" and on tor
of the liquid in the nozzle will affect
this. The greater this difference the
greater the spray.
The height of the mouth Of the
nozzle above the level of the liquid
will affect It. Why? Because, If the
noZzle's mouth were, say one inch
above the level, one inch of liquid
would FIRST have to be lifted, and the
friction of the nozzle walls would have
to be overcome so that the difference
in pressure would really be reduced.
