The name of Jacob II Schiff has been
associated with the financial history OF
New York and Of this country for
quarter Of century. At intervals III
that time Mr.. Schiff took an active part
in the financial development of some OF
the leading railroads and utility corpor-
ations in the United States.
Supported Hartman
Backed BY foreign capital. Mr.. Schiff
and the firm of Kuhn Loeb and Co,
supported the late II. II. Hartman in
the great financial adventure by which
the Union Pacific railroad was re
organized in 1897 and in the subsequent
transactions by which the Union IacItlc
obtained control Of the Southern faclllc
and other railroads,
This operation is regarded as one of
the most important IN which Mr.. Schiii
engaged as a banker. 1t involved vast
sum of money. possibly hundreds OF
millions of dollars, gave Mr.. Sehlff
prestige among New York bapklng
houses which endured for the remainder
of his life and it contributed to make T..
III. Hartman the best known railroad
organizer in the United states.
Floating Japanese Loans
Another important enterprise which
Mr.. Schiff undertook as head OF his
firm was the placing in this country OF
a large japanese loan when Japan went
to war with Russia. Some years later
Mr.. Schiff expressed regret that he had
been instrumental i'll providing funds
which helped to place Japan among the
leading nations of the world as mill

The American Legion is expected to

OVERHAUL YOUR CAR
BEFORE STARTING 1T
Many Things Should Be Attended
to in Early Spring.
Owner Should Go Over Every Rsrt Of
Mechanism, Cleaning, oiling and
Tightening Loose Parts-Let
Carburetor Alone.

If your car has been in storage
during the winter. give it a thorough
overhauling art this time of the year,
before starting it on the road. says
a pioneer automobile man.
Here is a list of the things which
need to be done to prepare your car
properly for good weather driving, he
said:
1. Fill the radiator with water. See
that the gasoline tank contains a suf-
ficient quantity of gasoline and that
there is plenty Of oil in the crank
case.
2. Take your storage batteries down
and have them tested.
3. Assuming that the tires were TAX
en- off when the car was stored and
put in a warm place, they should be
looked over for weak spots and prop
erly inflated
4. Scrape the rims and paint them
with shellac and flake graphite.
5. Start the motor and drain out the
crank case and run the motor so as to
pump it thoroughly through the oiling
system; then draw it out and fill It
up with fresh oil.
6. Remove the carbon from the en-
gine.
Z. Grind the valves.
8. Adjust the valves, brakes and
bearings.
9. Oil the gear-shifting mechanism,
clutch and brake mechanism and all
clevis pins.
10. Inspect oil pump and fittings for
possible leak.
II. Clean out and fill all grease cups
with a good grade of medium weight
grease.
u. For the next week put three ta-
blespoonfuls of kerosene in each cylin-
der to cut the carbon, and let 1t stand
over night.
13. Clean dlfferential and oil uni
versals and gear sets.
In word, go over every part of the
mechanism, cleaning, oiling and tight
ening loose parts. Don't take any
thing for granted. Above all things,
do not meddle with the carburetOr.
When it leaves the factory 1t is prop
erly adjusted. Ninety per cent Of all
motorcar trouble is with the ignition.

To keep storage batteries in a

intervals, usually about once a week.
BY pure water is meant water reason

which in time would accumulate in the
bottom of the cells and impair the ac-

Of pure water are rain water, melted
artificial ice water and distilled water.
The two former are in many cases
hard to procure when most needed,
but distilled water can be had at any
time by means of simple distilling

Distilling is accomplished by driving

There is only one medicine that really

Swamp-Root makes friends quickly be-
cause its mild and immediate effect is soon
realized in most cases. It is a gentle,

AUTOMOBILE

Car owners should check up the
alignment of the wheels three times a
year.
The radiator hose connections in
the water system of the motor should
be frequently inspected.
Self-starters at present are very re
liable: nevertheless this does not
mean that this device does not need
careful attention.
By keeping the water in the battery
up to its proper level it will increase
the efficiency of the battery and i'm
prove its lasting qualities.
When the spark gap of a plug IS
too great there is danger of burning
out the secondary wire of the coil from
the heat engendered by the excessive
resistance.
All motors will get noisy in proper
tion to the wear on the valves. Ere
quent and proper timing with slight
adjustment will save considerable of
the wear.
Owners of light cars should bear in
mind the fact that in light machine
vibration is more effective in loosen

form. The solids are left behind and
pure water is the result.
A five-gallon kerosene can makes an
admirable boiler. Punch a very small
hole through the filler cap to allow for
evaporation. Some steam will escaDe
but will not interfere with the opera
tiun. Bend spiral coil out of about
ten feet of one-half-inch copper tubing
so it will fit easily into common
wooden water bucket.
Bore a large hole in the side of the
bucket near the bottom and fit a
wooden stopper to it. The lower end
of the coil passes through q snug
fitting hole in this stopper and turns
downward to discharge its contents.
By painting the part of the tubing
ipclosed by the stopper and the out
side of the stopper itself with roofing
paint and then forcing both in place
a tight joint may be made.
Connect the upper end of the coil
and the spout on the boiler with
piece of steam hose or heavy rubber
tubing. Wire on each end to make
steam-tight.
Provide running cold water for the
bucket and pierce the side above the
top coil for an overflow. By regulat-
ing the flow of water in the bucket the
level can be kept above the coils
without overfiowing. But be sure 10
keep enough running in so the contents
will not become warm.
Fill the boiler three-quarters full
and boil 1t just hard enough to throw
off sufficient steam without creating
pressure. This will fill the coils with
steam, which will quickly condense as
it passes down the cold coils and will
emerge as pure water In the jar below
the discharge.
Keep the jar well corked when full,
to prevent contamination from the
air.-L. B. Robbins in Popular Science
