WATER PUMP SOURCE
 OF ENGINE TROUBLES

Inspect the water pump occasionally if you would get the best service from your car. If it fails the engine over heats and the cylinders may score, thus damaging the engine. By giving the pump the proper attention these troubles can be avoided. If the pump has failed through no fault of your own, you will discover it in time and so avoid serious damage.
 The first detail of care is to see that it is working properly. The en- zine must be running to observe this. Remove filling cap and look in. If the the water is too low it must be re- placed. If the pump is working the water will be in motion. If the pump has failed the water will not be moving.
 On some radiators this test is, not possible owing to certain details of construction, so the pump must not be condemned unless this fact is well known. A better test is to hold the hand at the bottom of the radiator. If the bottom is distinctly hot the pump is pulling the water down. If it is cool the water is not circulating and the pump should be examined. Perhaps you will find the impeller loose on the shaft. When replacing the cover new gasket will be necess- sary.
 The second detail of care is lubri- cation where grease cup is provid- ed. This is to lubricate the shaft, which runs at a high rate of speed. If you have no grease at the time do not use oil, as it simply runs into the cooling system and does not stay in the bearing, where it is needed. On the contrary, it will interfere with cooling and may help to rot the rub

LOOSE PISTON RINGS
 CAUSE POWER LEAK

Losses through leaking piston rings commence with the suction stroke, when there is vacuum of as much as ten pounds per square inch, slightly decreasing and debasing the incoming charge. On the compression stroke the leakage increases, under pres sure of as much as sixty or seventy pounds. On the power stroke the pressure is quadrupled and here occur the greatest losses through leakage. The moral of all this is to keep the piston rings in condition to perform efficient service.

EVERY MOTORIST
 SHOULD WATCH CAR

Every motorist should spend few hours week looking after his car," says H. D. Tillman, of the New White Garage. "While the solid construc- tion and foolproof design of the mod ern automobile will permit large amount of neglect, it follows surely that in the end this abuse is felt in repairs and needless expense.
 "If every motorist would consider his car as a piece of machinery, cost ing considerable money, and devote the time he figures guarding such an investment should take, there would be more satisfied automobile owners and better results from car owner ship"

BRAKES SELDOM GET
 NEEDED FABRICATION

The brake mechanism seldom gets the fabrication it deserves. Oil is re- quired on the pins supporting the brake shoes and upon the bearing points of the cams or toggle mecha- nism which actuates the brakes. All these parts usually depend for lubrica- tion on the hand oil can. Beginning at the operating lever every joint in the brake rod needs occasional oiling, as do the bearings of the .compensat- ing shaft.

WEDGE OF WOOD IS
 A HANDY TIRE TOOL

A very handy weapon to make easy the examination of the inside of a casing when looking for punctures, fabric breaks, or weak spots, is a wedge made of a substantial stick of wood three-quarters of an inch thick and three to five inches long, depend ing on the size of the tire. This wedge may be slipped between the beads and pulled around the entire cir conference of the casing with one hand, leaving the other free to hold the tire.

SHELLAC AND GRAPHITE
 MAKES FINE PIPE CEMENT

Brown shellac mixed with graphite makes an admirable cement for pipe joints and connections which are sub ject to heat and compression. The two ingredients should be mixed to a paste and smeared over the joint needing treatment.

LATE SPARK HEATS MOTOR

The car owner should keep in mind that one of the most prolific causes of engine overheating is driving on re- tarded spark. The cause is obvious, the explosion taking place when a maximum of the cylinder wall is un- covered instead of the minimum, as is the case when the ignition takes place at the upper dead center, the piston being at the top of it's stroke.

TAKE SQUEAK OUT OF DOOR

Linseed oil mixed with small amount of graphite Is recommended as lubricant for door hinges and latches, which seldom receive atten- tion in this way. Ordinary cylinder oil has a tendency to run, which is not desirable at this location, because the clothes of passengers are likely to come in contact with it.

GIVE VALVE STEMS
 SHOT OF KEROSENE

A very simple way of cleaning the valve stems, which are under suspi- cion of harboring carbon deposits, is to inject a little kerosene in the air valve of carburetor while the en- zine is running. In this way little of the kerosene finds it's way down the valve stem and softens and washes off the carbon. It is no bad idea to do this once a month or so.

PEOPLE WOULD DEFEAT
 THE TREATY IF THEY KNEW
 WHAT WAS IN IT"-LANSING

Secretary of State Robert Lansing at his summer home in Henderson Harbor, would make absolutely no comment, on testimony of William c. Bullitt before the senate foreign rela- tions committee that the secretary of state had said that if the American people knew what the treaty was they would defeat it.
 The Associated Press dispatch cov- ering the testimony was read to MT. Lansing, but he would say nothing other than he would make absolutely no comment. Secretary Lansing then left for Galoup Island for a few days of bass fishing.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. William c. Bullitt of Philadelphia, formerly attached to the American peace mis- sion, testified before the senate for eign relations committee that Secre- tary Lansing told him in Paris last May that eff the senate and the Amer ican people knew what the treaty meant, it would be defeated"
 Bullitt said he was. sent to Russia by Secretary Lansing in February to obtain from the Soviet government a statement of extract terms on which it would agree to stop fighting on all fronts.
 Before proceeding, Bullitt said he asked Colonel House number of big questions bearing on the American position and House told him, he says, that if the Bolsheviki were ready to stop fighting and declare an armistice the United States would approve.
 "Mr. Lansing told me the day resigned" the witness said, "that he was opposed to that part of the league covenant relating to mandate for Armenia. He said he considered the Shantung award and the league of na, tions bad-that the league would be entirely useless; that the nations had arranged the world to suit themselves, and that England and France got all that they wanted.
 "After saying that he believed that the senate would defeat the treaty if it realized it's meaning, MT. Lansing expressed the opinion tbat Senator Knox really would understand the treaty, that MT. Lodge would also, but that MT. Lodges position would become purely political"
 The committee senators burst into round of laughter and Bullitt said he begged to be excused from reading any more from the memorandum of his conversation.

JAPAN TO USE ALL
HER WATER POWER
Expects to Add 100000
HORSEPOWER After Govern
ment Survey.

Realizing the Industrial value OF water
power Japan expects to have completed
635 new power sites by September ],
backed by the setting up OF $50 gauging
stations and 166 meteorological observ-
atories. The Japanese Government set
aside $4,000 for the purpose of inves-
tigating sites for hydroelectric power
plants and for collecting reliable data
for use in connection with future hydro
electric undertakings. The investiga-
tons have been going on for two years
and will continue three years more.
The country was divided into Ave dis
tricts, I'm which were assigned twenty
two surveying parties, a general recon-
naissance of the principal rivers In each
district being under way. Measurements
of the flow OF the streams are being
made at many OF the gauging stations
that have been erected so far.
Hydroelectric plants in Japan al
ready utilize more than 100000 horse
power. with 100000 more horsepower
under lease for exploitation. or the lat
ter about half is being developed. Estl-
mates made show apparently that about
8. 900, 900 horsepower is still capable OF
being developed.
A report ot the work just received In
this country shows that conditions in
Japan in regard to labor and materials
are similar to those prevailing in the
United States. The report says:
THE survey was not a little prevented
from rapid progress because OF the ex-
traordinary rise In wages and In the
prices OF materials"

J.P. DAY SELLS TWO
WATER FRONT PLOTS
Finds Purchasers for Valuable
Riparian Properties in Will
iamsburg Section.
CITY BUYS SCHOOL SITE
Novel Features for Apartment
to Replace Dwellings on
West 68th Street.

Two big riparian deals closed by Jo-
seph p. Day in the Williamsburg section
Of Brooklyn reflect the great demand for
water front properties, which has in
creased since the signing Of the arInis-
tice. To the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company Mr.. Day sold the plot OF up
land, 224x125, at the northwest corner
Of Kent avenue and South Eighth street,
under the Williamsburg Bridge. This
property Is at present improved with one
and two story brick buildings. and ex-
tends 257 feet from bulkhead line to
pierhead line 1t was held at $350,0 900,
and will be used by tho Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company for a power station.
Within the last few days Mr.. Day
also negotiated the sale to the American
Sugar Refining Company OF the property
at the northwest corner OF Grand street,
extending out about 400 feet to the pier
head line, with an average width OF IT'S
feet The plot adjoins the purchasing
company's refining works on Kent ave
nue.. and was held at 100000. Thomas
P. Graham, as the representative OF the
American Sugar Refining Company, was
associated with Mr.. Day in this deal.
Both Of the properties sold were for
merly owned by the Brooklyn-New York
Ferry Company. which was forced to
suspend operations by reason Of the
diversion OF vehicular traffic to the four
East River bridges. When the ferry
company decided to liquidate its trustee.
tho Columbia Trust Company, placed the
two properties and one other in the
hands OF Mr.. Day for sale The plot still
to be disposed Of Is at the corner OF
South Ninth street and Kent avenue. but
Judging by the speed with which the
other two were sold there will probably
be little difficulty In finding buyer for
the third. In regard to the sale Mr..
Day said:
There is still a strong demand for
water front property, and many out of
town manufacturers are negotiating for
riparian sites in the East 1 have care
fully studied the entire port of New
York and know all tho properties that
are on the market to-day. 1 expect very
| shortly to announce the sale OF several
| other large water front plots"
