Love of Dogs Makes
 Friends Of San Diego
 Boy and the President

The following, taken from the SaE Diego Union, tells of two dogs and their pals. Walter Terry, the younger pal, 1t may be stated incidentally is nephew of William and Ed Schneirla, the well known Ophir mining men:-
 Friends of good dogs are pals the world over, whatever the difference in age or estate.
 That is why Warren G.. Harding, president. of the United States, and l2- year old Walter Terry, who lives at 830 Sixteenth street, San Diego, are real friends.
 Both Walter Terry and President Harding once had good little dogs, great friends of theirs. President Harding's dog was named Hub" and when he died-killed by poison-Presi- dent Harding, who was then news paper man. wrote an obituary for Hub in his paper, the Marion Star.
 President Harding later referred to shat little obituary notice as the best newspaper story he ever wrote.
 The Union printed an account of what President Harding had to say about that newspaper story, and repro daeed the story itself, telling of the great mans sorrow over the cruel death, of his pal, Hub. ! Walter also had had a dog-''name Jefferson Davis,' but we just called him Jeff "-and his dog. too, had been poisoned.
 So when Walter read about Presi- dent Harding and the dog he once had Walter sat down andAwrote letter to the President, telling4 of his own ex- rerience and his sympathy with the President. The President, through his personal secretary at once answered Walters letter.
 The two letters tell their. own stOry.. Here is Walter's: Hon. Warren c. Harding,
 President United States of America.
 Washington, D. G.:
 Dear Friend
 You are friend of mine because you are President and because you like dogs.
 The Sunday Morning Union of our town printed something about the story you wrote about your dog where you said the best thing you ever wrote was an obituary for your dog. I,surely feel just like you did when you, wrote that.
 Our dog's registered name was lief ferson Davis, but we just called him

Head of Road Commission to
Ask State Appropriation to
Make Travel Safer.

FREDERICK. Nd. May 7.-Entire,y
too many people are being killed In
automobile accidents on the State
highways. in the opinion of Chair
man Mackall. OF the state roads COM
mission. He plans to 60 before the
next Legislature with . request for a
substantial appropriation to eliminate
the points of greatest danger in
every county in the State.
As a preliminary measure MT.
MackalI is preparing to chart the en-
tire road system to indicate these
danger spots. In this work he has
asked the assistance of X. Austin
Baughmap, commissioner of motor
vehicles, and OF the Automobile Club
of Maryland. In letters to Secretary
II. M. Lucius, of the Automobile Club
and Commissioner Baughman he asks
them to notify his office Of very &C.
cident that comes to their attention
with all information obtainable.
In addition, Mr.. Mackall has ic-
structed the district engineers Of the
road system to give the exact loca-
ton Of every accident and all infor-
nation available.
Many points on the State road
system" Mr.. Mackall said Monday.
appear to be dangerous, but by rea-
son of the fact that they are Wis
IDLY SO they are not a source Of dan
ger, and accidents never occur Mt
such places. At many other points
the danger Is not apparent.
"Of course. nothing we can do can
make the fool automobile driver q
wise man, and when he pays for his
folly with his life I do not suppose
the loss to the community 10 very
great. But I think we ought to do
something to protect the careful dr!v-
er from the fools, and one way or
doing that Is to chart the road sys-
tenn with reference to the places
where most of the accidents occur
road or cut down entertainments at
such places so that the careful man
can see the fool driver coming.
''Of course a good many accidents
occur that are not caused by reck-
less driving. They are due In mahv
Instances to inability to see arou-d
curves, OF because the road Is too
narrow. It win take considerable
money to make safe all the places
that appear safe but are really dan
gerous, and I shall ask the next legis-
iature 70 provide the funds for this
work. In the meantime. shall.
so far as the roads funds permit. try
to remedy some of the worst places
this summer.
I'VE have Just completed cutting
out a particularly dangerous situa-
ton at Lake Fancy. about two miles
this side of Belair, and have given
contract for shoulders and banking
the curves along the entire length OF
the Annapolis boulevard. This work
will widen. the road between four and
five feet for a good part of its length
and will remedy a bad situation on
the curves. We are also working on
q dangerous spot near the old Jug
bridge, a short distance east Of Fred

IDLING ENGINE TO WARM 1T
Fl. l.. A. asks When an engine Is
started from a cold condition. does 1t
pay to let II run idle while before
making 1t move the car?
Answer: This practice is generally
recommended. on the ground that it
Is better to have the engine running
reliably before work is demanded OF
1t. thus obvfating the annoyance due to
possible stalling on the road and also
on account of the advisa bility of hav-
Ing the oil warmed and circulating
properly before hard pulling is requir-
ed. Our personal preference. however
is to avoid prolonged idle operation
and to let the engine drive the car
slowly as soon as II Is running keep

but have been greatly dissatisfied with
it, because the engine knocks SO badly

frequently. Is there anything can do
to relieve these troubles?
Answer: We understand that the
manufacturer of this car has recently
brought out new form Of cylinder
head, interchangeable with the old
one, which has larger clearance
spaces. thus reducing the compression
pressure and no doubt diminishing the
tendency to knocking. The plugs are,
we believe, relocated so as to be less

READJUSTING CARBURETOR FOR
WINTER DRIVING
A. L. G. asks: Why is 1t that some
what more gasoline has to be fed by
the carburetor in cold than in warm
weather: My engine has lately been
little weak and 1 find that my In
struction book says that the needle-
valve adjustment should be opened a
little when cold weather comes on.
Answer: Cold gasoline is less per-
fectly fluid than warm gasoline and
thus less fuel passes through a given
size carburetor Jet In cold than in
warm weather. Each cubic foot of
cold air contains more oxygen than
the same volume of hot air and thus,
at given rate of flow, more oxygen
enters the carburetor In cold than in
hot weather, which requires that some
what more gasoline be supplied to mix
proportions. The practical reason,
however for increasing the fuel feed
Is because. in cold weather, only a
part of the gasoline evaporates so as
to be available as fuel Thus an ex-
cess must be supplied. to make up for
the loss sustained.
STARTING THE HOT-AIR STOVE
During hot weather, some motorists
disconnect the hot-air supply for the
carburetor. aftho this is not so com
monty done now as formerly, on ac-
count of the low grade fuel used in re-
cent years. With the advent of cold
weather 1t is very advantageous to
nave the hot-air connection in service.
not only Because this will insure bet
ter vaporization of the fuel under run
ming conditions. but because it will
shorten the warming up period of the
engine, enable the car to be driven
away quicker and reduce the tesdency

F. w. L. asks: Is there any way
in which the quality of gasoline can
be determined by the ordinary user !?
What tests are employed and what
instruments used?
Answer: The most vital consid-
GRAFTON is how fully the gasoline in
question will evaporate at engine
manifold temperature or, to put it
in another way, what temperature
is required to vaporize it all or a
certain percentage of it. To deter
mine this. the fractional distillation
test must be applied, which consists
in measuring what proportion of its
volume passes over from the distilling
flask at each Of a certain number Of
stated temperatures, ranging as high
as necessary to distill practically all

j. r. R. writes: I have broken one
tooth of the ring-gear of my car. but
find that it is otherwise all right. The
pinloh, however, seems noticeably
worn. Would it be advisable to have
the broken tooth repaired by welding
and to use these same gears or would
IT be better to replace the pinion, now
that I have the parts disassembled? !?
Answer: II you desire quiet opera :
ton. we advise you to replace both
ring-gear and pinion. 1t would be
possible to have the broken ring-gear
tooth built up and cut to true form,
but the job would cost quite a little
and we fear it would prove noisy. 1t Is
not advisable to replace pinion and
not replace its ring-gear. as quiet run
ming is seldom obtained in this way.
Considering that your pinion is worn
considerably and would perhaps have
to be replaced in the near future. we
should recommend you to make a
thoro job Of it by renewing both gears.

EVERYTHING THE BATTERY
Keep the Plates Covered. But Don

Keep the Plates Covered, But Don't
Keep the Cells Full.
Everyone should realize that the
liquid In a storage battery. when its
cells have become fully charged, is
decomposed into hydrogen and
oxygen, by any further passage OF
charging current. These gases exist
in the liquid as bubbles and cause it
to increase in volume and foam like
soda water. When heavy overcharg-
ing occurs, the gassy liquid boils over
like a freshly opened bottle of ginger
ale, but with more serious results.
The escaping electrolyte covers the
top of the battery, causing leakage OF
current and corroding the cable ter
minals, and still worse leaks down
into the wood case, eating it away ana
perhaps destroying its supporting
straps. Boiling over is also aggra-
waited by the heat expansion of the
liquid which accompanies overcharg-
ing. To prevent escape of the de-
structive acid, overfilling of the cells
must be guarded against, and the
safest rule is never toe supply water
enough to bring the level higher than
one-half above the tops of the plates.
BY using a short piece of stick having
notch cut at one-half inch from its
end and using this as a gage, when
filling, it Is easy to prevent the liquid
level from being brought too high.
Another evil of spilling electrolyte is
that acid is lost with it and, as pure
water is added to replace this loss,
the strength of the electrolyte falls
off and the battery weakens.

Business M e n
Plan Lake Resort

Highmore, Nov. 3.-Efforts of To-
cal business men to create hunting
and fishing resort at Lakes Rezac,
situated about twenty-five miles
northeast of Highmore, promise to
be successful.
They have asked the aid of the
state game and fish department, and
State Game Warden Hedrick went to
the scene and made an inspection of
the lake and surroundings. He assur-
ed the business men he would have
the state engineer look over the pro-
ject and appeared well pleased with
the possibilities.
At very little expense Rezac lake
can be transformed into body of
water mile long and half mile
wide, with an average depth of 13
feet. All that would be necessary to
accomplish this would be. the con-
struction of a dam, four feet high
and about $50 feet long, long the
east side of the lake.
The lake can thus be made lead
ing resort of this part of the state.
1t is planned to stock the lake with
thousands of fish.
