SHOW LOCATION OF WATER
Signs on Painted Desert In the South
west Guide Travellers to the
Precious Liquid.

Travel off the beaten paths in the
famous Painted desert Of the South
west would be dangerous matter
were 1t not for the stone sentinels set
up by the Navajo Indians to direct the
stranger travelling through that cOun-
try. where once there was water in
plenty. but where now are only the
dry beds of rivers.
These sentinels are piles Of rocks,
as high as a man, located on rises of
ground where they may be readily
seen. In the body of the monument
is placed a projecting rock which is
arranged to point the direction to the
nearest spring or waterhole. If one
follows the direction indicated. al
though he may have to proceed con-
siderable distance, the precious wa
ter will always be found.
Frequently 1t is only very weak
seep supplying no more than few
cups In an hour. Or 1t may be a pool
located deep in the recesses of a
rocky ledge and collected from the
SHOWS Of the past winter. Sometimes
it is situated in IAN out-of-the-way
place, and them there may be two, or
even three smaller monuments erect
ed along the route designated.
Also along the way there may be
arrows cut In the rocks or crooked
grooves symbolizing the windings of
a brook or signs of various kinds
which will attract attention. These
directions all help to make the way
palmer and reduce the chance of the
traveller becoming confused.

cox LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE

Those who expected Governor
Cox to take an advanced and up
to-date position upon the issues
confronting the American people
will not be disappointed in his
letter of acceptance. People who
have only read the garbled re-
ports sent out by the associated
press should not form fixed opin-
ions upon the merits of the gov
ernor's letter. To thoroughly ap-
preciate and understand the real
progressiveness of the Democratic
candidate for president requires
careful reading of the entire
letter. He stands squarely upon
the League of Nations plank in
plain words that cannot be mis-
understood. He comes out plain
ly against the abuse of the in
junction process and in favor of
government by law instead Of
government by our judges. He
also takes a strong stand against
profiteers and promises all the re-
lief within the power of the ad-
ministration to give if elected.
All progressives, almost with
out exception, regardless of party
ties will agree with him on the
principal points brought out in
the letter. Taken as a whole the
letter differs widely from the US
ual political declaration; it is
couched in plain and concise Ian
guage. Its meaning is clear in
every line, phrase and sentence.
There is no attempt at straddling
or evading the issue, no attempt
at clouding the meaning by the
use of ambiguous language. Those
who do not agree with him must
admire the courage and honesty
of the man who dares to assert
his convictions and refuses to
play politics altho he is making
struggle for the highest posi-
tion within the gift of the Ameri-
can people. The Democratic party
has reason for feeling a justifiable
pride in their candidate.

kutoist Knows His Engine Is Out
of Tune When There Is
Failure to Fire.
DIRT IS CAUSE OF TROUBLE
carburetor May Be Out Of Adjust
ment, Giving Too Rich a Mixture,
or There May Be Too Much
Oil in the Cylinders.

The failure of a spark plug is one
Of the most frequent troubles with
the automobile engine, hence the auto
list should know what to do when this
occurs. When the spark plug misses,
or fails to fire, the engine is out of
tune or balance. This condition is in
stantly noticed by the irregular vibra-
tion set up in the car, and by the loss
of power. Generally the trouble is
caused by the plug becoming short
circuited through the collection of car
bon on the porcelain of the plug. This
is termed soOted or dirty. and is caused
by several conditions. The carburetor
may be out of adjustment. giving too
rich a mixture. or there may be too
much oil in the cylinder. These pos
sible causes should be looked into If
the trouble is chronic.
If the plug is found to have black
coating clean 1t thoroughly so that the
porcelain is white, and the points
quite clean. 1t will make cleaning

tool, knife answering very well,
wrap piece of rag around it, and
scrape the plug all over. getting down
into the recesses.
There are various types of plugs,
the most common being the porcelain,
plug will fire longer without the need
of cleaning, but it is hard to clean, as
1t has to be taken apart. When II
plug Is taken apart, great care must
be taken to see that the porcelain is
not broken. and when reassembling 1t,
all the joints must be made gas-tight.
Fig. 2 shows another type of plug, the
possibility of short-circuiting by car
bon deposit being indicated.
The modern plug is SO made that It
will not come apart. and, while 1t Is n
little harder to clean the individual
parts when they cannot be handled
separately, 1t is not so much trouble
in the long run, as 1t is hard to put
the other type together again proper
ly. The insulatOr of a plug sometimes
cracks. and even though 1t be but a
minute crack, 1t must be thrown away,
as the carbon seeps In quickly, and the
plug will not fire.
When buying new plugs be sure to
get the type that Is made for the par
ticular engine to be fitted. In addition
to the numerous special plugs, there
are two sizes of hexagons In use, one
, seven-eighths inch across flats, and
the other IN inches across. 1t is an.
noying to find that the spark. plug
wrench will not fit the new plug In
tended for use, especially so when one
cannot get Mt the plug u turn 1t with
an adjustable wrench. 1t Is good
plan for the autolst to carry an extra
set Of spark plugs, so that In case OF
failure on the road the bad one may
be replaced without the necessity OF
cleaning plugs until the return to the
garage is made.-POpular Mechanics

AVOID SMEAR ON MUDGUARDs
Heavy Piece Of Cloth or Other Suita-
BILE Material Will Give Ample
Protection.

1t is easy to, scratch and smear the
front mudguards with grease when
doing work on the engine, and the
motorist would do well to follow the
example of the best garages in pro-
tecting these at times of engine re-
pair. Secure a heavy piece of cloth
or other suitable material-oil cloth
or Imitation leather-large enough to
completely cover the fender from tip
to the point where 1t attaches to the
running board. Throw this protective
cover over the mudguard when max
ing repairs or adjustments under the
hood and you will keep the enamel in
much better condition.

$50 Deficit Per Capita

Fifty dollars for every man,
woman and child in the United
States-that is the deficit which
the government must face for the
twelve months beginning July l..
This sum, however, includes only
appropriation which have been
authorized by congress. In real
ity, the per capita deficit will be
much greater.
Appropriations authorized ag-
gregate S5,s59, ,S90,527 more than
the estimated income, or five
times as much as was spent by the
government in a single year in
time of peace.
Representative Good, of the
House Appropriations committee,
has made public revised state
ment furnished by the Secretary
of the Treasury in which it is es-
timated that receipts for the fiscal
year 1920 would be $7,661, ,157 1856,
and estimated expenditures dur
ing that period would be Sl2,00S,-
04S,051.
1t is stated by Representative
Byrnes that the Appropriation
committee has practiced decep-
tion by withholding from the reg
ular appropris ion bills more than
half a billion dollars allotted to
railroad and shipping interests.
1t IS predicted that the railroads
will be back to congress for ad-
ditional grants, and when the
December session reconvenes

devices for getting into the treas
