Heat Rarefies Air.

Other things have the same effect
as altitude. For instance, heat rare
fees air by expanding it so that on a
hot day the air charge which an en-
CINE can breathe in is smaller in
weight than it would be on a cold day.
In testing airplane engines ii is an In
variable practice TO make an allow
ance for the temperature of the at
mosphere because the difference in
power is quite appreciable. With a
300 horsepower engine a variation Of
- horsepower or more a easily oc-
cur by reason of nothing else but
change in the air temperature.
Here is M of the principal reasons
why an automobile motor does run
better at night. Night air is almost
always cooler than day air, so nj night
the engine can get a heavier charge
and so produce a more powerful i'm
pulse at each explosion.

Cylinder Full Of Air.

To one cylinder full of air! What
Is a cylinder full? The answer is that
It all depends upon what you fill ii
from. Everybody knows that when
driving In very high attitudes the rare
fed air causes a noticeable loss of
power; anyone who has driven at o.
600 feet elevation cannot fail to have
observed this.
Now, the real reason for the loss OF
power Is that owing to the rarefylng
effect Of the altitude, the piston can
only suck in a smaller mount of air
which will only carry with 1t a small
er amount of gasoline, and so will
only produce a more feeble explosion.
OF course, the volume Of air taken In
on the suction stroke is just the same
whatever the altitude, but its weight
is less in proportion as the altitude
increases and the ratio for best COM
bustion Is between the weight of the
fuel and the weight OF the air neces-
sary to insure reasonably complete
combustion.

SWORDS AND THANKS.

On Feb. 16, 1913, an elegant sword was presented to Decatur, and a sword to Biddle, and thanks voted to these officers by the legislature of Pennsylvania, for their distin glIished gallantry and skill. The ceremonies of presentation took place at New London, on board their respective ships.
 Stephen Decatur and James Riddle were notable men. Stephen Decatur, naval officer, rose from the rank of
 Inidshipman to Captain in 1894. His
 first notable exploit was the destruc-
 ton of the Philadelphia in the har-
 bor of Tripoli, in the Preble Expe-
 dition.
 The Philadelphia had chased a Fri ] politan ship into the harbor, and struck upon a rock. She was cap- tured by the Tripolitans; the captain and officers made prisoners, and the crew slaves. Decatur caught a Fri politan ketch laden with maidens whom the Dey of Algiers was sending 1 to the Sultan at Constantinople, fol a present.
 i The captured ketch was taken into named the Intrepid. In her, De, ! catur and "A brave young men sailed 1 for Tripoli, sailed boldly into thu i harbor on a bright moonlight night warped alongside the Philadelphia l sprang on board, and after a fierce i struggle all the Tripoiitans wer' 1 killed or driven into the sea, thu 1 Philadelphia was set on fire, and ths

 CONFERENCES
 BEING SOUGHT
Joint Appeal Brings Forth Frank Statement
 From U. s.

The joint appeal by representative men of America, Great Britain, Hol- land, Switzerland. Denmark. Nor way, and Sweden for an information al conference Hpon the economic sit uetion in Europe has brought forth a frank statement as to the attitude of the United States Government. The appeal for a, conference was not sent to the United States Govern ment.-- It was sent to the various European Governments, to the Re- parations Committee, and to the United States Chamber of Commer It appears also that the appeal cir culated in Europe differed in essen tial particulars from that circulated in the United States, a feature of the European appeal being the sugges- ton of a pooling and cancellation of war debts which would practically obligate the United States to should CT financial war burdens incurred by the other beIligerents prior to the entry of this country into the war. The hope also appeared to be enter tained by the framers of the appeal that these burdens of Europe would be assumed through additional loans to Europe by the United States Gov ernment. Such, at least. were the conclusions drawn by Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass. to wf om a copy of the appeal was forwarded by the United States Chamber of Comm cree.
 In the reply of the Secretary, made just prior to resigning his office in order to take his seat in the United States Senate, it is stated that no more loans will be made by the United States Government, the total l of whose advances to Europe since | the admistice is $4,226, ,584,6SS. He declares that the Governments of the world must now get out of banking and trade, and that loans of Gov ernment to Government not only in- | volve additional taxes or borrowings 1 by the lending Government, with
