WILSON'S HEALTH
 GREATLY IMPROVED
Washington Correspondent Sees
 No III Effect on Intellect

New York, June 1S.-President Wilson's nine months of illness have neither daunted his spirit nor im- paired in the slightest degree his splendid intellect" according to the New York World. which today pub- lished a copyrighted interview which its Washington correspondent had with the president.
 Within the last two months the correspondent says the president has gained more than 20 pounds and his ultimate complete recovery is as- sured.
 During the three-hour interview at the White House, says the correspon- dent. the long discussion of current topics and issues showed that the president expressed himself with characteristic Wilsonian visor
 Discussing the political campaign, President Wilson said that the League of Nations was the dominant issue. He expects the democrats at San Francisco to repeat his challenge for a referendum on the league. The is- sue is ''too deep for political scul- duggery," he is quoted as saying.
 He was vigorous in attacking the republican platform. '"The republi- can national convention" he said,
  tially and scientifically Prussian in- spiration and method" He said he did not see how progressives could support the republican platform. He added that he had not aided any can- didate for the nomination at San Francisco.
 Discussing the presidents physical condition the correspondent says:
 His face is not distorted in the slightest degree, as some of the un- friendly versions of his illness have asserted. The Wilson face is much the same as it was, though it bears the impress of great physicai suffer ing.
 After he had worked and we had talked for an hour the president walked from his office chair on the balcony to the movies in the east room. slowly, cautiously, but with confidence"
 The correspondent described the movements of the president about the White House and said:
 The very best proof of the great improvement iE the presidents phy- sical conditio1 was provided when he mounted three improvised wooden steps and entered the motor car, with only sach assistance as would natur- all be given to a person convalescing fsom serious illness"
 ' The president walked with a, slight limp and used a cane, according to the corre spondent.

Roumania's Oil Wells.

Many Of the ROumanian oil wells
are not in working order, which is
chiefly due to the military measures
taken by the allies at the time of the
German advance in Roumania. Al
though Gen. Falkenhayn's experts de-
voted particular attention to the re-
construction of the dismantled wells,
their work was crowned with limited
success, and it will take long period
of systematic work to raise the ROu-
manian oil fields again to their pre-
war importance. The Roumanian gov
eminent is reported to have lately
concluded a convention with the Aus
trian government whereby they are to
supply the AuStrians with petroleum

SHORT CIRCUITS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Average Automobile Driver Knows
Little or Nothing About
Electrical System. =,
USUALLY AWAITS CALAMITY
Operator Should FamlIiarize Himself
With Wiring on His Car-lnstruc-
ton Book Will Help Solve
Puzzling Situations.

1.-THE average driver knows nothing
about electricity, as applied to the au-
tomObile, and so is unable to tell when
the ignition system Is functioning
properly" says a well-known motorcar
authority.
"He is afraid to experiment and be-
lieves in letting things alone until
something happens. He then looks
over the system for the first time,
and, of course, does not know whether
the wiring Is right or not. l have re-
peatedly pointed out cases Of worn in
sulation among other troubles about
which the operator seemed entirely
lost. In one case the spark was jump
ing freely fromVa distributor wire to a
piece of metal nearby, and he pointed
to it as evidence that he had a good
spark-evidently accepting it as mat
ter of course that the spark should
jump where it did.
Watch Chatting Wires.
"Even If the operator understands
nothing of the nature of his ignition
system he should, at least, familiarize
himself with the positions of the vari.
Gus wires, their colOrs and general
condition. Here the instruction book
will be a great help. Watch particu-
larly for cases where one wire Chafes
against another or some piece u
metal. Such places should be protect
ed with electric tape, or at least sepa-
rated so that no short circuit may Oc-
cur. But the high tension or secondary
wires may develop a short circuit
where least expected, so that it would
be we'll to go over them occasionally
TO see that no leakage takes place.
This is particularly true during rainy
weather. The moisture is drawn in
by the fan and scattered around under
the hood.
Hunting the Trouble.
"Wires which did not leak current
before will shOrt-CirCuit during wet
spell. The best method is to run the
engine and to trace along each wire,
lifting it away from any place it may
touch so as to see or feel if the cur
rent Is leaking through the insulation
Where leak is noted the place must
be tapped.
"a more puzzling problem occurs
where all the wires from the distrib-
utter pass through a metal tube. There
is always a possibility of a short cir
cult from the wires to the tube as the
tube is always grounded. Proceed as
follows: First, find. out if the current
enters the suspected wires. To do this
disconnect the wire at the distributor
end and hold it near it's contact, to see

trouble is not in the wire, but in the
distributor. If a good spark occurs at
the distributor but none at the other
end of the wire there is a short in be.
tween. The wire must be pulled out
and a good one substituted, although
the old one may be made serviceable
