WAS LADY LUCK WOOED

Strange things happen every once
and so often in this lovely land of
sunshine, Of oil booms, diversified
farming and golf links.
And some OF them happen right
here in Ardmore, in the city which
promises much and does some things.
Included among the things which
happen may be found once in q while,
exemplifcations of the irony OF fate.

1t was only night or so ago that
Lord Irony of fate walked into the

LITTLE PURE wool.
USED

Chicago-in its campaign against
the use Of shoddy in clothing, the ma
tional sheep and wool bureau of Amer
lea states that last year this country
used Approximately three pounds of
secured wool per inhabitant. To meet
the peoples demand for virgin wool
about y pounds Of secured wool
should be marketed The difference
between tn three pounds and the ~
pounds is met by manufacturers who
spin and respin old clothes and rags,
in some instances eight times, with
just enough virgin wool to hold them
together. These are marketed as all
wool" while store houses are BURSTING
with virgin wool
The national sheep and wool bureau
Of America is urging the passage of
the French-Capper "truth-in-fabrico
bill, now pending in congress, which
would make it compulsory for manu-
facturers to label their shoddy goods.

FREE SPEECH
BLOCKED
Aids Steel Trust in Fight
Against Workers

Pittsburg, Pain upholding the
conviction of six organized workers
for attempting to hold a trade union
meeting in Duquesne, last May, with
out a permit, Judge Kennedy of the
common pleas court has strengthened
the steel trust in its fight against the
workers in western Pennsylvania.
Duquesne is located a few miles
from this city. It is a regulation steel
town. No hall can be rented for trade
union purposes and public meetings
are prohibited without the consent of
the mayor who, in this case, is
brother of mill official Last spring
the trade unionists requested Mayor
Crawford to issue them q permit to
hold a trade union meeting The let
ter was not answered The workers
then announced that a meeting would
be held When each Of the six men
started to speak they were arrested
because they had no permit They
refused to pay a fine of 500 each and
appealed the case to the common pleas
court.
In uphoIding the decision Judge Ken
nedy attempted to lull protests against
free speech denial by lurid pictures Of
possible rioting il the unionists were
not arrested
1T is true, said judge Kennedy,
that the mayor might have thrown
a Gordon Of police around tile meeting
and permitted it to proceed, but the
presence of police at such time is
not always an assurance Of peace, and
if the mayor in his Judgment deemed
that impractical or unsafe and ! feel
that the safer way was to forbid the
meeting how can his actions, viewed
in the broad sense, be an infraction
of the rights Of the people?"
Duquesne is filled with company
thugs and gun men and instead Of
standing for 100 per cent Americanism
and in a ringing decision, assure every
citizen Of his rights, and call on Du-
quesne officials to protect those rights
Judge Kennedy takes the weak posi-
ton that the gun men were liable to
start trouble-to violate the law
and to avoid this condition free speech
for the workers must be denied

ALL rot"
Is Wage Loss Cry-Public
Don't Protect

New York -"If the workers de-
pended ON the public alone, they would
rarely, if ever make any progress, for
the fundamental reason that the pub
lie is wholly selfish says the Ma
tional Civic Federation Review. It is
declared that much of the statistics
on strike losses "is pure and unadul-
terated rot
'"rhe public does not want to be
ineonvenienced," says this publica-
ton. "In a strike on a street rail
road the public does the walking and
the swearing. 1t makes no difference
how long may be the hours the men
work or how small may be their pay.
If they don't like their jobs, the pub
lie generally says, they should get
others, but, under no circumstances
make US walk How long would it
have taken the public to wake up and
organize to force the bloated coal
barons to give shorter hours and IN
creases in the pitifully low wages Of
the anthracite coal miners in 1903?
"In regard to the appalling cost to
the wage earners, there is another
side to that question The big headline
figures about the losses of hundreds
of millions Of dollars on account of
millions of days wages being lost are
frequently great fallacies. In some
cases not cent is lost and the in
creases in wages is a clear gain. The
1910 anthracite strike of six weeks
only changed the date of the annual
shut down of the miners. Just as
much coal was produced for the year,
but the miners got more for the por-
tion mined after the strike. The head
line statisticians can always scare the
public by multiplying days by the
wage rates, but no headliner has ever
pointed out another startling fact, and
that is that in any normal year there
are more days of labor lost on any
three of the seven national holidays
than in all the strikes of the year
Think of the three billion days lost on
Sundays and Saturday afternoons,
and yet nobody counts that a loss, but
a gain.
1T is not meant by this that there
is not unnecessary loss, suffering, in
justice and abuse of power many times
by the unions, but it does mean that
a gooddeal Of the statistics put out
on the subject is pure and adulterated
rot"

There need be no alarm as to the
ability Of the United States to hold
its own in foreign trade in agricultur-
al products" says the report, Even
before the great war the exports of
bread stuffs We're increasing each

Despite these figures, editors and
publicists sing the old song that the
reason for high prices of food in the
United States is because of scarcity. .

VALVE Thinning COUNTS
IN ENGINE EFFICIENCY

The subject of valve timing is in
Itimately involved withvalve operation
and engine efficiency.
In the four-cycle engine now uni
versally used each valve is opened
and closed once for every two revo-
lutions of the crankshaft, the cam
leshaft which actuates the vavs turn
ing at just half the speed of the
crankshaft. The inlet valve in opened
when the piston is at thevery top of
its suction stroke or just after 1t has
begun to descend. When the piston
comes up again on the compression
stroke the inlet valve in closed, other
wise some of the fuel would be driven
out of the combustion chamber. Then
comes the explosion and the dawn
ward power stroke, during both OF
which both valves remain closed.
When the piston has nearly reached
the bottom of the power stroke the
exhause valve opens and remains open
during the upward scavenging stroke
to allow the burned gases to be driven
out of the cylinder. All these various
openings and closines must be accu-
rute to xa degree or the efficiency OF
the engine is ldISeiS ioSt, ohN -e''''
accurancy depends principally upon
porper valve timing.
1t must be understood that valve
timing is not an adjustment; indeed,
it is not often necessary. for once the
valves are properly timed they re-
main so until the engine is taken
down for some reason. But once the
timing is disturbed it is vitally inn
portant that it shall be properly as
sembled again il the engine IS to
unction properly.
Before taking down the engine the
ears should be carefully Inspected
for markings that will enable them
to be assembled again as they were
before. Usually there are marks on
the camshaft and camshaft gears
either round indentations or lines
stamped on the teeth. BY turning the
crank these marks are made to come
ogether.
In reassembling an ordinary gear
iriven valve gear 1t is only necessary
o turn over the crankshaft until the
mark on the crankshaft gear gets TO
he point where the crankshaft gear
meshes and then slip the camshaft
,ear into mesh SO that the two marks
coincide.
In the rare cases where no marks
have been put on the parts the car
owner should mark them himself with
punch.
In V-type engines, such as our
lights and twelves, there is generally
ouly one camshaft, which is placed
between the cylinder blocks at the
conventional type of vertical engine.
