Answers to Last Weeks Questions.
l. One of the causes OF disc clutch

insufficient lubricant In which the
clutch turns or because the oil is too
thin.
O. The best way to remove dust from
the polished surface Of car fs frst
to use soft dust brush. When all
the loose dust Is off, wash the car.
Never wipe off the car with a rag, as
this will cause the dust particles to
scratch the paint surface.
3. Leaking. at the outlet or inlet
connections of a water pump is COM
monty caused BY loose packing at
those connections. Draw up or tight
en- the packing nut and then II leak

6. The cause Of a squeak in a cylin-

REPORT INDICATES
FARM TRUCK USE
Department of Agriculture
Conducts Survey Regarding
Extent of Transportation.

The enormous and growing i'm
portance Of the motor truck In the
economy Of farm management is
brought out strikingly in a report BY
the Department Of Agriculture sof a
survey Of the ownership and use Of
motor trucks by farmers The survey
was conducted Jointly by the office OF
farm management and the bureau Of
crop estimates of the department The
information secured by this inquiry
answers many questions which have
been asked repeatedly regarding the
extent to which motor vehicles are
used for farm hauling
The figures. on which totals for the
nation and the several states are
based, were secured from approxi-
mately $4,000 selected crop reporters
who were asked to report the names
and addresses of farmers they knew
who own motor trucks for farm use.
Passenger cars and trailers for use
with passenger cars were excluded
and the reporters were asked not to
take account of trucks which are
used primarily for general custom
hauling. or on regularly established
routes.
This survey. the Department of
Agriculture says. can hardly be con-
sidered a complete census. for 1t Is
probable in some localities the crop
reporters were not acquainted with
all the truck owners, but it Is GER
tain that very large per cent have
been listed. 1t is believed that In no
state were less than IS per cent Of
the trucks reported. II not complete
in every respect the figures show the
relative distribution very satisfac-
tory.

States own motor trucks which they
use on their farms. The exact num-

TO be divided among tho leaders
during tho next international 500

tired from racing following the VIC

The plan. 1t is said. would speed

would not be content simply with

his car to the limit to win tho extra

Jealous Jaguar Eats Birc
Love and Rival, too,
While Zoo Mourns.

= A. Jungle love triangle has caused
the Washington Zoo to be deprived
of the prospective gifts Of a fine
South American parrot and a Brazil
ian monkey. ..
The monkey and parrot were part
of a collection of animals, birds and
reptiles just brought TO the United
States from Brazil on the Booth
liner, "Macona." by William J. La
Varre. of New York. who has given
several animals to the local Zoo in
the past.
On the trip from the mouth of the
Amazon, the parrot became SO
friendly with a jaguar that it would
enter the big cats crate and perch
on its head. But the jaguar palled
on Polly. who then sought the COM
pany of a gay young monkey from
the Llama hung reaches of the ANA
zon. The jaguar moped in its cage
alone.
Then one fateful day Polly few
too close to the cage of her Quon'
dam jaguar affinity. There was 8
lightning blow of a heavy paw, Z
wild scream. and all that was lef
of pretty Poll were a few floating
green feathers.
Next day the monkey disappeared
leaving no sign Of his destination
except a sleepy, purring jaguar will

Hartford. Conn. March IS. - Gov.
Marcus H. Holcomb's refusal to call
the legislature in extra session to
act upon the Federal Suffrage
amendment has been met, II was
learned tonight, by a counter move
on the part Of pro-suffragists. which
is expected to result in the conren-
ing, of the legislative body in spite
Of the governor and the ratification
Of the amendment. =
The womerrs- party consulted p
former attorney general. who found
an ancient and long forgotten Con-
stitutional provision under which
the Legislature can convene itself
without waiting for a call by the
governor. Under this provision 1t
was declared tonight, the extra ses-
sion will be held, the lieutenant gov
ernor acting as the convening ON
ciaI, and the suffrage amendment
will be ratified.
Gov. Holcomb has abandoned his
plans for attending the Republican

tBy a Stan Correspondento

Chicago, March 2S.-"There is
glory enough for all" seems to be
the song from South Dakota after
one of the most bitter political con-
tests which have ever taken place
in the State. Lewis Emmerson'
manager for Gov. Lowden, says he
is perfectly satisfied. William
cooper Proctor, at the head of the
Leonard Wood committee. says 1t
could not have turned out better.
Hiram Johnson's followers maintain
that the Senator made a surprising
showing. II silence gives consent
Senator Poindexter makes the YER
dict unanimous.
For the Democrats, former Am
bassador James W, Gerard had IT
all his own way, while the free
lancing James C Monroe failed to
make it interesting.
Prorressivcs Split Vote.
After the contest was over came
the explanations. In the Wood
lamp it was proved to most any in
terested questioner that the gen.
erals vote was not commensurate
with his real popularity for the
reason that the progressives, in or
der not TO hurt the feelings of
either, divided their votes between
Wood and Johnson. This was the
logical outcome after the intensive
campaign Of Senator Johnson,
Mr.. Emmerson for Lowder

return here tomorrow of the Della

and activity for the ratification of
the suffrage amendment will be
taken up by suffrage workers both
national and State.
INQUIRIES at the Delaware Equal
Suffrage headquarters here this

situation from that of Friday last,
brought forth the information that
would indicate no change, according
to their estimates and belief, in
favor of the passage of the ratifica-
tion resolution on Tuesday or We'd
nesday OF the coming week.
Mrs. McMann. one of the national
organizers of the Equal Suffrage AS

that their leaders and supporters
had not been asleep since the ad-
journment of the legislature on
Friday. but that much missionary
work had been going on. She fur
ther added that the same confidence
which they have had ever since the
Legislature opened here last Mon
day. for the final outcome Of the
Situation. that asf passaga by a sub
stantial majority of the amendment,
was still held by the suffragists of
Delaware.
With the expressed confidence OF
the suffragists that they will win,
comes the same confidence of the
antis that they will win for the de-
feat OF suffrage. basing their belief
and confidence On the repeated as
sertions of members of the two

Iimpeachable as to veracity, that the

That the Wood headquarters
