New York. July 2T.--Thc American
Olympic team sailed on the Princess
Matoika late yesterday afternoon bound
for Antwerp after the athletes who COM
pose the team threatened to strike be-
cause there were no quarters provided
for them in deck statcrooms. W
The athletes howled long and loud
when they learned that they would
have to sleep below decks. When Gus
tav Kirby, the president Of the com
mittce, announced that there would be
no staterooms for the members Of the
team except the women swimmers ne
was Immediately surrounded by the men,
who demanded an explanation.
For some time it looked as II the
United States squad would leave for
the international games without most
OF its championship material. Charlie
Paddock. the wonder sprinter OF the
West, and Joie Ray. the best miller OF
the age. led the indignation meeting.
and it took some time to get them 70
agree to sail on the Princess.
Mr.. Kirby explained that conditions
would have been different IL the steam :
ship Northern Pacific had been used in !.
stead of the Princess Matoika. The
Northern Pacific was declared unsea
worthy, and it was up to the commit
tee to accept the government offer oi
the Princess.
This ended the argument. and tn,
athletes went aboard after being cheeret
and farewelled by their friends and
relatives.

USE OF TIRE CHAINS.
Misuse Of Chains and Careless Driv'
ina Causes of Accidents.


Ing Causes Of Accidents.
Sharply rounding corners on slip
perry, icy streets. cars often skid DAN
gerously, avoiding accident almost by
miracle. Frequently motorists notice
less fortunate cars with wheels
crushed against the curb. So many
are the smash ups that safety first
suggestions are opportune.
Skid chains are good for 10y or
slippery streets but should not be run
on dry pavements or hard roadways
They are a serious strain both on the
driving parts Of cars and upon the
tires. Some motorists put them on too
soon and leave them on too long
Others put them on too late or take
them off too early. A little care IN
this pays real dividends in tire con-
servation.
Chains bite best on the straight
away. meshing with the road for the
hard pull and preventing side sway
AS long as the wheels are turning
the chains are functioning. They ore
least efficient when the wheels ere
sliding. With less breaking effect
there is more chance for collision
Quick stops with all their rasping
wear on the tires can be avoided by
slowly throttling the car down and
coasting to a stop, according to MIL
Ter tire service experts.
Chains can be too tight or too
loose. A uniform tension with enough
slack to allow normal creeping Is
most practicable. Broken cross chains
and those worn flat or sharp on the
edges continually cut the tire, caus-
ing loose treads Of all descriptions.

The Auto Quiz

1.-What amounts OF anti freeze
solution are necessary In the cool
| ing system ut various temperatures?
Zero weather requires almost three
times as much alcohol In the cool
ing system az 10 degrees above zero
| requires. Five degrees above calls
for about twice as much anti-f freeze
solution as a fen-degree temperature.
For instance. the cooling system
which has water capacity
OF about, six gallons requires four
| and three-fourths pints OF alcohol
| to keep the water from freezing when
the temperature is 10 degrees above
| zero. For above, nine and one-half
pints OF alcohol are necessary and
for zero twelve pints. To be on the
safe side add more alcohol II the
temperature Is expected to drop be-
low zero. About nineteen pints OF 1t
will prevent the water from freezing
at as low temperature as % de-
grees below the zero mark.
2.--What IL the function OF the
automobile engines cooling system?
The function Of the automobile
engines cooling system is not to
| cool the gases which explode In the
cylinders, as is often supposed. but
| to keep the walls OF the cylinders
from overheat.ng. The energy Of the
engine is derived from these burn
ing and expanding gases. They
should not BE cooled. but 1t Is neces-
| cary to cool the cylinders to pre-
vent Selling of the pistons within.
3.-How much. gasolene and how
much air is drawn into the cylinders
Of an automobile engine for COM
bustion?
With the gasolene now in use. the
average mixture considered best for
combustion In the cylinders Of an
automobile engine is from fourteen
to seventeen parts OF air to one
part Of gasolene. Less air is used
and more gasolene for slow speed
and power work, while more air and
less gas is drawn into the cylinders
for economical high spsed driving or
light load pulling.
{ 4.--How much current does q sin
gle cell OF a storage battery give?
A storage battery cell, whether
large or small, will average two or
trifle more volts of electrical pres
sure If in good condition Size Of the
cell Of any automobile storage bat
terry has nothing to do with it's pres

tanned by adding cells and not plates
within the cell. The larger the cell
the longer period Of time the cell will
last In generating electricity.
5.-Why does the single spark igni-
tinS, TOR r,,fv ~

old vibrator coil?
The single spark ignition system
requires closerA setting of spark

system because the former creates
much quicker spark than the lat
ter. spark from a nonvibrator coil
or magnetic would not Jump across

6.-Will wrong valve setting or
timing cause an engine to overhead?
Wrong valve setting or timing will
cause overheating of an engine. Par
ticulariy IN the exhaust valve, which
II 1t does not open sufficiently or IL
1t opens and closes too early. will not
allow the full escape OF burned
gases in the cylinders, one cause
OF overheating.
why should not a new engine.
or one with new pistons or rebored
cylinders be run extremely fast?
An engine with any new friction
or bearing surfaces should not be
run extremely fast because these
surfaces must be worn to q polish
before their best results are obtained.
A new piston has invisible grooves
on it's exterior surface which were
formed when the piston was made,
and the interior OF a new cylinder
has very small !ndentations. These
irregularities are tool marks and
are unavoidable. IL a high speed, and

S.-Can graphite be used with a

tomobile7
Graphite may be used 18th the
splash system Of fabrication in any
car but that which has its magnetic
mounted with the flywheel. Do not
use much OF the graphite, "a tea
spoonful to quart OF oil is sufficient
with q half teaspoonful added after
each FIVE hundred miles. The pur-
pose OF graphite Is to seal compress
sion by filing in scratches or ir-
Irregularities In cylinders and pistons
and to make smoother bearing sur
faces. It can also be applied In dry
form to the engine thru the air In
let Of the carburetor while engine Is
running. Graphite may also be used
in the transmission, differential and
universal joints.
9.-Wflat engine speed should be
maintained always on q hill?
The success of easy hill climbing
depends upon keeping the engine
running smoothly and q little faster
than what possibly may be needed
A good start and shifting into
lower gear a trifle before the time it

COLD IN The HEAD
RELIEVED AT ONCE BY TURP0
This Preparation Checks Cold in the Head Once Prevents
Il Developing Into More Serious Cold, Relieves
Congestion and inflammation.

The right way to treat cold is to
check 1t at the very beginning. Apply
Turpo as soon as it appears as q
cold in the head, with the typical run
ming nose, dull headache and sneezing.
Turpo is known as the Turpentine Oint-
ment, because turpentine FORMS one of
its principal ingredients. In addition
to distilled turpeQtine there are two
other very well known remedies in
Turpo-Camphor and Menthol. The
three are so combined in q mineral base,
as to give best effects for the relief of
all colds and congestion.
When Turpo is placed up the nostrils
you inhale it Immediately, and actually
feel it clearing up the secretion in the
air passages, and reducing the swelling
and congestion. In this way Turpo
checks fresh cold at the very root Of
the trouble.
For severe colds Turpo is rubbed on
the throat and chest. It sinks right
through the skin, carrying the remedy
to the seat of the Inflammation or con-
gestion, and relieving the cold over
night. Turpo is . splendid counter.
