Overheating causes a knock by
firing the gas before the piston
reaches upper dead center on the
compression stroke. The exploding
gas expanding meets the piston going

may be noted by steam at radiator.

BOOKS FOR DISABLED HEROES
c,ngress Appropriatss $1oo,o0o for
Reading Material for Soldiers
Confined to Hospitals.

Disabled heroes of the World war
are not to be without good books to
read while they are fighting to regain
health In the hospitals Of this coun-
try. Congress ksA appropriated In the
civil sundry bill the sum of 100000
for the purchase Of books, with the
result that each Of the $4,000 disabled
veterans will soon have three or four
new books to read.
The American Library association,
which still has charge Of the libraries
in the larger hospitals, has been EN-
barrassed by a shortage Of funds, and
up to this time posts of the American
Legion have taken over the duty Of
supplying books to the disabled in
hundreds Of the smaller hospitals. The
appropriation by congress does not
mean that either the services Of the
American Library association or the
American Legion in this respect are to
be dispensed with, but that they are
to be greatly augmented and rein
forced.

because the people must emigrate, as
there are too many to earn a living in

young men walking about Naples now
that 1t Is difficult to believe that italy
has just emerged from long war.
The reason for this, according to the
government officials, Is that the birth
rate increases by leaps and bounds
each year and the children grow more
rapidly into manhood than they do In
colder cllmes. With the new countries
recently taken by Italy after the war
the population Is reckoned at 10000

The stranger walking through city

problem the government has to do
with. The side streets, which have
