Whether you have a starter OIL not,
a motor that is difficult to get under
way is an exasperating proposition
and the arrival Of cooler days and the
present low grade of gasoline Will
make any motor difficult Of initial OPP
GRAFTON. 1t Is the absence Of heat that
brings about the hard starting motor,
due to the difficulty Of volatilizing the
low grade of gasoline now OF the
market.
Truth is the fuel Is so cold and
heavy 1t will not break up and mix
with air even If the suction of the
motor raises a sufficient quantity for
ordinary purposes. Most of the cars
now built are fitted with hot air tubes
leading from the exhaust pipe to the
liked air inlet of the ca%rburetOr, thus
permitting only hot air to enter, which
aids In ~gasfying the gasoline.
This hot air tube will be of no par
ticular avail while the engine is dead
cold, as, for instance, when 1t has been
standing all night, but is of material
advantage In economical running and
In starting. The common practice is
to have a hollow casting clamped to
the exhaust pipe and from the interior
Of this is run a flexible metal pipe to
the fixed air intake Of the carburetor,
thus supplying warm air at all times
and aiding In making better mixture
and more economy in the matter OF
fuel consumption.
Heat Generates Gas.
The warmer the air the more a
given quantity of gasoline Is trans
ferred into gas, and so more economy
Is insured. Besides, 1t has been found
that In even cool weather 1t is almost
impossible to so adjust a carburetOr
ms to permit the motor to be throttled
down as well as 1t should be, and
again the hot air pipe comes into good
use.
Most of the ca%rburetOr manufactur-
ers or agents have these pipes ready
for instant installation, and as they
cost little, no mOtOrist should be with
one. AS u matter of fact, a large
section hose can be used so long as
some arrangement Is made whereby II
can be secured at the exhaust pipe
end.

PLAN FOR REPLACING BOLTS
often Very Difficult to Get Those Run
ming Through Frame Channel
Back In Place.

Bolts running through the frame
channel are often very difficult to get
in place once they are removed. An
easy method where these bolts are
drilled is to take a cotter pin and run
a piece of wire through the hole in
the bolt. The bolt may then be drawn
through the hole.

Man Cannot Sense comino Rain.

1t is somewhat extraordinary, but
man Is the only animal that cannot
naturally perceive approaching rain.
All other animals show u~neasiness
when rain is coming. At such times
dogs get restless, cats sneeze and
wash their ears. frogs croak with a
loud. harsh noise, owls screech, pea.
cocks scream and ducks and geese are
unusually noisy. This Is said to be
due to the relaxation of their nerves
by the damp air, which makes them
uneasy.

Why Buried Glass Disinteorates.

The bureau of standards says that
glass would slowly disintegrate when
buried in moist soil. The action m
the glass would be due primarily to
water and alkali. The d~isintegrating
action would vary with the compost
tion or character Of the glass and the
conditions that obtained In the soil.
This action would probably be ex-
tremely slow with any glass. and 1t
would probably be centuries before
some glass would be completely dis
i~ntegrated.

CHILD IS VICTIM
OF HYDROPHOBIA
5-Year-Old Ralph Jones of Brox
ton Dies Here Sunday
BIT BY OWN PET PUPPY
Death Starts Talk of Movement
to Kill Stray Dogs

From the bite of a pet puppy lit
tie 5year-old Ralph Jones of Brox-
ton died at the Fitzgerald Hospital
OF hydrophobia yesterday morning
after suffering intense agony for three
days while physicians fought to save
his life.
The little fellow was the son of
Fred Jones, prominent Coffee county
planter and business man. We was
bitten on May 9TH by his three
month-old pet puppy and rushed inn
mediately to Atlanta for preventa-
tive treatment against hydrophobia
planter and business man. He was
brought back home about three
weeks ago and the treatments fin
ished.
No symptoms of hydrophobia de-
veloped until Thursday night when
the child began to &,uffer pain and
experienced difficulty in swallowing
He soon after went into commissions
and was brought to the local hospi-
tai Saturday morning All the med
ical skill that could be summoned fail
ed to stop the course of horrible dis
ease and the little fellow finally died
in agony about 9 o'clock Sunday
morning.
He was taken back to Broxton
Sunday and was buried this after
noon in the Broxton cemetery.
The pet puppy that bit the child
was not kept on leash and is thought
to have wandered out of the house
and to have been bit by rabid stray
dog. When little Ralph Jones start
ed to play with the puppy little
later it bit him. The dogs head was
cut off and taken to Atlanta with
the child for examination and evil
dence of rabies was found.
The death yesterday has caused
considerable discussion and may de-
velope "a movement to exterminate
the stray dogs that are most suscep-
tible to rabies and other canine dis
eases and frequently prove menace
to children who cannot protect them
ives against the beasts.

Sweet Potato Seen
AS Hope For South

WASHINGTON, June 6.-"Sweet
potato education" is the remedy of
Governor Harding of the Federal
Reserve Board to ward off future
cotton depressions in the South.
If the public can be brought to
greater consumption of the toothsome
tuber, Governor Harding believes
the South will have a companion
crop upon which dependence can be
placed when cotton fails to bring
proper returns.
Relief from the present depression
resulting from cotton overproduction
is predicted authoritatively here. The
South has so regulated the crop for
next season, it is said, that the nor
NAL consumption expected will take
UP all the excess now held.

ENGINEERS TO GET
MORE STRIKE PAY
Martin Reports Raise on Return
from Convention
DISCUSSES SITUATION
Expects Legislation to Stop
Labor-Capital Friction

Strike relief pay of engineers who
are striking against the Atlanta, Biz
mingham and Atlantic wage reduc-
tons was increased from 500 to 500
by the national convention of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engin-
GERS at Cleveland, Ohio last week il
was announced today by w. NJ Mar
tin, general chairman of the A., B.
& A. striking engineers and chair
man OF the joint cooperative COM
mittee of the thirteen striking crafts.
Mr.. Martin" represented the engin-
GERS at the national convention. The
new scale Of relief pay will be effec-
| tive this month.
Mr.. Martin stated that converse
ton with the other delegates at the
convention led him to believe that
the railroad men of the nation are
willing to accept a cut in wages
commensurate with the decrease in
cost of living. He will attend the
conference in Chicago, July LIST, to
discuss adjustment of the wage con-
| troversy and also to ind a satisfac-
tory basis for settling the three
strikes that are now on against I'M
authorized wage cuts. The NJ N.
& N. A. in Arkansas, Bangor and Ar
ostok in Maine and the A., B. & A.
Mr.. Martin believes that change
in the Transportation Act will be
asked to create regional boards of
adjustment with mandatory powers
who will be able to settle controver-
sial matters between capital and la
Dor without forcing to either strikes
or lockouts.
Capital and labor have been car
rying on industrial warfare against
each other for fifty years." Mr.. Mar
tin said, "and whatever the immed-
late results of each clash, both sides
have lost in the long r"n and the
public has ALWAYS ~ initial and
labor have got 10 W. n hormony.
think both sides realize that and
will be ready to accept any plan for
securing that harmony which will
protect each side against danger of
imposition from the other"
In commenting on the several
minor outbreaks of alleged sabotage
that have occurred during the three
weeks he has been at. the conven-
ton. Mr.. Martin declared himself
certain that the strikers had not
been guilty. THE railroad has in
its employ some of the best detec-
tives in the world, special agents
who could certainly have tracked
down the criminals and found evil
dence against them had they been
strikers" he said, 1--WE have abso-
lutely nothing to gain by damaging
the railroads property. All my men
understand that"
Mr.. Martin expressed confidence
that the men who have now been on
strike three months would be rein
stated within a month or six weeks.
The national convention In Chicago,
July 1st will consider the settlement
of the three legal strikes now in
progress, one in Arkansas, one in
New England and one in Georgia
and Alabama, and probably make
their settlement one provision of the
acceptance of a national wage reduc-
ton.
