Hard Lead or Copper Is Cut in the
Manner Shown.

Be sure the cup is down tight on the
tappet and that 1t Is soldered fast
around the edge.
Another method that can be resorted
to is to place cardboard cylinders
around the valve-stems and tappets.
Take a piece of cardboard. shellac one
side of it, and cut it so that it will
just fit the valve housing. Then wrap
1t around the tappet and vaIve-Sprin9,
with the Shelac side in. and fastyn it
with bands of soft iron wire at the
top, bottom and center. Be sure that
there is enough clearance for the
valve-spring to work. After it is in
place shellac the outside as this will
prevent the oil from soaking into the
cardboard
If repair shop is available the
valves may be removed and placed in

SILENT ENGINE
IS MOST IDEAL
Comparatively Easy to Eliminate
Noise by Following Plan
as Outlined.
TAPPETS ARE Responsible
Circular Piece Of Fiber, Hard Lead or
Copper Caps May Be Used-An-
other Plan Is to Place Card
board Around Valve,

A silent engine is the ideal of all
who own or drive cars. The valve
tappets are responsible for great
deal of engine noise and 1t Is com
paratlvely easy to eliminate 1t.
Remove the valve tappets from the
engine case. Find the center and drill
a $-inch hole A-inch deep In the face
OF the tappet. Then cut a circular
piece Of fiber, 3/16 in. thick, to At the
hole tightly. Place the piece Of fiber
In the hole and give It two or three
sharl blows with hammer to seat II
properly. File off flush with the top
OF tappet and finish the surface with
fine emery cloth.
Hard lead or copper caps may be
fastened to the tops of tappets. The
cups can be formed of No. Is hard
lead or No. % copper over the top of
the tappets, by cutting circular piece
of the material u in. greater In diam
eter than the top of the tappet
cutting the edges at each corner Of the
tappet and pounding down the edges.

CLEANING AUTO REFLECTORS
First Wash Off All Particles Of Dirt
With Hot Water, Then Wipe
Surface With Alcohol.

(By FRED G. PERSON, State Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
In cleaning the refiectors, first wash
off all particles of dust and dirt with
a stream or spray of hot water. The
hot water is most conveniently applied
with syringe. Do not apply it with
a cloth. Then take piece of absorb
ent cotton saturated with alcohol and
wipe off the surface of the reflector.
This procedure will remove all dirt
and grease and leave the surface dry
and clean. Do not attempt to clean
the reflector with handkerchief or
with polishing powders of any kind.

reached Tuesday after a conference
with several business men, following
the rejection Monday night of all

COAL PROFITEERS
WILL Be CURBED
Attorney General Be-
lieves Price Ad-
vance Excessive

Federal district attorneys were in
structed by Attorney General Palm
er to receive and consider complaints
of profiteering in bituminous coal
which may arise in your district
under the Lever act"
Mr.. Palmer's telegram was pre-
pared after some bituminous coal OPP
orators had stated publicly that the
new wage scale agreed upon under
the terms of the award by the coal
strike settlement commission would
result in an increase Of from 60 cents
to $1.25 ton on coal
Pointing out that the total in
crease in wages had been estimated
at approximately $200,OO0,000 a
year, Mr.. Palmer said that If this en-
tire amount were added by the OPP
orators to the price it would only
make an increase of 40 cents ton. "
IF, however, the operators all
sorb the IA per cent increase which
became effective in December" said
the attorney general, there would
be left only $96,O00,0O0 to be passed
on to the consumer. In this event
the increase in the price of coal at
the mine would amount to 20 cents
ton"
Mr.. Palmer said he understood
operators had estimated the demand
for export coal would be 100000, 900
tons, but that port facilities are only
adequate for the export of 30,000,-
600 tons per annum. This, he said,
should not be made an excuse for
raising the price.

BE SURE AIR VENT IS OPEN
Carburetor From Bottom Of
Supply Tank.

In the cap on the filler hole In a
gravity feed tank you will usually find
small hole. This is to allow air to
enter at the top so that the gasoline
can flow into the carburetor from the
bottom. If gasoline fails to reach the
carburetor, though there is plenty in
the tank, make sure that this air vent
Is open, before trying to locate stop
page in the line.

If gasoline drips from the carburetOr
when the car is standing and the en-
CINE is not running the needle valve
connected with the float should be in
vestigated.
The great deal Of clutch trouble for
which the owner can find no obvious
cause is due to the fact that the clutch
shaft is out of true with the center of
the flywheel.
A drill can be made to cut an over
size hole by grinding one cutting edge
q little longer than the other. This is
a scheme that is useful in an emer
gency, when hole must be made of
size for which there is no drill.

THE END OF
ANTHRACITE


Anthracite coal, the hard
est kind, which is used so
much for smelters and fur
naces and to make steam
with, is mined almost exclu-
sively in the east, and the
available supply is being ex-
hausted at a rate that will
have it all burned up in $50
years. But that's a problem
for coming generations. To-
days problem is to buy coal
at the right time and avoid
the rush.

WHY WEAR ANYTHING?

From the Louisville Courier Journal. N PEAKING of overalls, says con N tributor to the New York Trib- une, why should men wear hats in summer? Why not the slogan, No Hats for Men? The Romans did not wear hats. Many Pacific Islanders go bareheaded. Many Indian tribes do not wear them. Hats produce badness, headache and discomfort. They cost a great deal of money
 If hats produce badness, why did friends, Romans. citizens, go bald? Not from lending their ears? The tops of the heads of the conscript fathers often were as hairless as Chihuahua pup. The same thing was true of the commonality. The vox populi was heard, often as not. from a cleft be- tween bearded chins and craniums which shone like polisher ivory.

WHY FRANKLIN WORE NO WIG

From the Kansas City Star
 Benjamin Franklin was about to be presented to the French King on the occasion of his first visit to France in
 the capacity of representative from the rev America. The court custom of the
 time demanded that one going to an audience with the King must wear a
 Wig of the proper fashion. A count,
 who had Franklin in tow. sent wig
 maker the day before to take Frank lin's measure and fit him out for the audience. The wigmaker arrived at Franklin's lodgings measured the poll of the great American fore and aft and round and about. and took his departure. An hour before the audi l ence the wigmaker returned with the wig. But when Franklin attempted to put it on it would not fit; he couldn't begin to get it on his head. Sir | said Franklin to the wigmaker, your wig is unfortunately too small for my head"
 | "Pardonnes moi, monsieur" replie, the wigmaker. your head is vastly
 too large and quite beyond the fashior | of the court"
 Franklin appeared therefore, al
 court with his bald pate and shaggy gray hair.

Farm Building Plans
 To Be Supplied Free.

1T1 HE backward crop season vii be N felt throughout the south, and in several sections of Alabama, where rains were incessant, planting will be later than in many years.
 To make up for the unfavorable conditions the farmers are urged 10 give their attention to improved farm structures. The Alabama extension service has just announced that it has for free distribution among farmers desiring them, complete blue prints of plans for the construction of farm buildings.
 As there is only limited supply available, these plans will be fur nished only to those intending to build in the near future Address the de- partment of agriculture and engineer ing, Auburn, stating your needs. 1 The following is list of the farm structures covered by the plans re- ferred to: Silos, wooden-hoop and stave; dairy barn, one-story; farm milk house, general purpose barn, plank frame construction; individual hog houses, three types; self-feeder for hogs; self-feeding hay rack for cattle; self-feeder for poultry; con. crete dipping vat for hogs; septic tank; homemade terrace drag; load ling chute for hogs.
 All the construction named can be built at small cost and will pay well in the end.

Grand Opera Music Study's
 Greatest Undertaking.

I1D) IRMINGHAM has heard grand l0 opera on many occasions, but the Music Study Club, which has sented number of distinguished at fractions, including symphony orches- tras, year after year, will on Monday next and for the first time, bring a famous opera company-the Scotti-- with celebrated cast and chorus from the Metropolitan opera house. It will surpass in spectacular form anything that has yet come under the auspices of the club.
 It is the most expensive organiza- ton that has visited Birmingham seven thousand dollars-and crowded houses at five dollars will be neces- sary to enable the club to come clear without deficit.
 There has been a large sale of 
 tickets, but practically every seat must be sold for the enterprising programme committee to make the opera a financial success.
 Scotti and his company will bring ballet and the full Metropolitan orchestra of sixty pieces. People from scities and towns from all parts of Alabama will doubtless attend in large numbers. It will be we'll worth while. Surely Birmingham will turn out in festival style.
 If this event proves paying ven-
 ture, it will mean at least half week of grand opera next year, even with,
 out our projected auditorium.
