There is, perhaps, no more feasible
project in Oregon than the Owyhcc project
Certainly there is none that would put bet

There is no time for delay. The project
should have the endorsement of all the or

should be placed before the recently organ

HONORABLE NEW WORKERS

The people of America will approve ot
the action Charles h. Hughes and other
citizens of the Empire State in their refusal
TO serve ON the committee representing the
city, in charge of receptions for the returned
soldiers, so long as William Randolph
Hearst is Il member.

of the United States that that which Mayor
Hylan has perpctrated in making the nm
speakable Hearst Chairman of that impor-
tant committee If the government at
Washington would name some other port
New York would be served rightly,
When one thinks of the attitude Hearst
and his publications have taken during the
war; of how until long after we entered the
conflict he was close to 5emstortf, accord
ing to the statements made by witnesses at
the Senate investigations of how he was
sought to create discussion among the allies;
of his compounded acts of pacitism and
obstruction, all absolutely m-American and
disloyal, is it possible to conceive of amy
reason why he should be chairman of the
reception committee to greet the men re
turned from the trenches

city would not be in position to go for

The system was built and completed
within the contract time which in its self
was an accomplishment of note, in view OF
the shortage of labor and material. There is
no doubt that the almost complete absence
of typhoid this year has been due to the in-
stallation of the new system.

WHY VACUUM TANKS
FLOOD CYLINDERS
Causes of Low Mileage Largely
Due to Vacuum Tank Getting
Out Of Order; Symptoms of
Disease and Remedies.

When the controlling mechanism Of
the vacuum tank gets out of order,
flooding of the engine cylinders usual
ly results with attending low gasoline
mileage.
The first symptom that appears is
at each starting of the engine. Only
one or two cylinders will operate until
the excess amount of gasoline is forced
from the cylinders.
When this condition is manifest, an
immediate investigation should be
made Of the oil in the crank case. If
there is indication of a large quantity
of gasoline in the OIL the vacuum tank
is out of order and the oil should be
drawn from the oil base and new oil
installed.
The following conditions may cause
the trouble:
First-The float, which should be air
! tight, may have developed leak, thus
filling up the float with gasoline and
making it too heavy to rise sufficient
ly to close the vacuum valve, or the
float guide rod has become bent or
rough and is sticking in its guide. This
allows gasoline to be drawn into the
| intake manifold, causing the engine
to operate unevenly and using an ex-
cess amount of gasoline. 1t also causes
a portion of the gasoline to be forced
by piston rings into oil base.
To repair the floats Remove top
of vacuum tank by taking out the
screws, running the blade Of a knife
carefully around the top between cover
and body of the tank so as to separate
gasket without damaging it. The gas
il:nt is shelacked to make an alright
joint.
Dip the float into a pan of hot water.
Bubbles will be seen at point where
leak it. Mark this spot.
Punch two small holes. one in the
| top and the other in the bottom of the
float, to permit discharge of the gaso-
+, line. Then solder up these holes and
the hole where the leak occurred. Test
the float by dipping in hot water.
| II no bubbles are seen, the float is
! air tight. In soldering float be care
| full not to use more solder than is re-
quired. Any unnecessary amount of
solder will make the float too heavy.
| If float shows no evidence of being
logged. examine float guide rod. II
| bent, carefully straighten and IL its
surface is rough, smooth with fine
emery cloth.
! Second-The flapper valve may be
held off its seat with particles of dirt
at the same time the float is faulty.
This will permit the gasoline in the
lower chamber of the tank to be drawn
into the manifold. To correct this
! trouble, remove flapper valve and clean
face of valve seat with fine emery
cloth.
