Fans Cause Trouble.
Efficient cooling of a motor ,.epends
somewhat upon the condition Of the
fan. or more particularly. the fan
blades. An instance is known where
a motorist had gone over his car and
even had a repairman Investigate to
find out why the motor heated. 1t
was found that three out OF the four
fan blades had in some manner be-
come Strengthened out, so as to pull
no air through the radiator. although
the fan was being driven by the belt
as il was designed TO do. AS soon as
the blades were turned 10 their orig
inal position and air was pulled
through the radiator there was no
trouble about keeping the motor cool.
Clean the Fuel Tank.
Don't overlook the gasoline tank in
the matter of cleaning, for at some
time it will be found this is a neces-
sary thing Here was recent cause
that baffied even the experts, and ii all
came about because the owner ran
out of gasoline. That was not a great
misfortune, for he happened to be
near a supply station and the tank
was refitled. But the motor would not
start, although few moments before
ii had been running. Gasoline would
not flow to the carburetOr, although
the tank had just been filled.
When the gasoline ran out, became
entirely exhausted, even down to the
last drop. ii carried into the gasoline
feed pipe some little particle of refuse
or dirt that previously had been float
ing on the top of the gasoline. This
found its way into the pipe and clogged
it. so as to prevent a flow to the car
buretor. The remedy was simple
enough when the difficulty was dis
covered. The gasoline pipe was re-
moved and the particle of dirt blown
out 1t is because of this that it is
essential that the tank be cleaned out
every once in while. t

Merchandising Tree.

In Canada and eastern United
States the larch. sturdy tree. which
belongs to the pine family. often grows
30 or 60 feet high and is generally
known as hackmatack. while in the
Central states II is called tamarack.
The European variety is even taller
and has longer leaves which don beau
tiful autumn tints before falling.
On account of its long, tapering
form. the tree is extremely useful for
masts In sailing vessels, telegraph
poles. and variety of purposes, and
rs it is common from the Arctic circle
to the United States, II Is easily found
for the especial use for which II is
adapted.

Whether YOU have starter or not,
a motor that is difficult TO get under

Truth is the fuel is so cold and
heavy 1t will not break up and mix
with air even II 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
fixed air inlet of the carburetor, 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 it 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 it is almost
impossible to 50 adjust a carburetor
as to permit the motor to be throttlel
down as we'll as II should be, and
again the hot air pipe comes into good
use.
Most OF the carburetor manufactur-
ers or agents have these pipes ready

cost little, no motorist should be with.

section hose can be used so long as
some arrangement Is made whereby II

Mannetic Furniture.

Some pieces of furniture seem made

are tables that are positively magnets.
They attract the entire deposit of the

il will be completely hidden beneath

tions and small wares. In the same

unique in execution. Approached

seems To be an eNquisitely done joyful
countenance. From the other side
however, joy is seen TO be but a mask
for a face of woe. Speculation has

figure, and what it is supposed to
represent. So many appropriate ex-
plantations have been given that noEe

A Few Thoughts

Why the great unchurched multi
tude of the modern day (for they
seem to grow more and more with
each passing day. are evidence for
some great mutation of providence or
the slow sequence of nature to pro
vide q plan wherein all people may
agree. A primrose path all may
tread. The spirit will lift US up
above the brute whose major activ-
tiles will satisfy his suit. Some seem
to be entirely at sea as to religious be-
lief; for others the grinding environ
ment of life crushes out faith; others
doubt or postpone the need, while
others strive to increase their hoard
too late they plant the precious
seed. Sometimes the most needy are
the most pious, but creeds are crumbl-
ing. The churches are striving for
unity on some middle grOund-the
salt has lost its savor-a revolution
might suffice. We are so conceited
in our religious instinct that even
plain morality is tabooed in our pub
lie schools. GAS the twig is inclined,
so the tree will grow" In those ten
der years the mind is formed, and
lack of moral taching in early years
fills many prison cells. There are
''many men of many minds" as is
proven by the religions of many
kinds. May we see the adage proven:
''There is a divinity that shapes our
ends, rough hew them as you will"
1 feel that my lack of ability to
properly discuss this important sub
ject will be excused by the facts of
its all in all need in this growing
period of youth. It's significance
seems to be ignored or lost in the
medley of discussion as to religious
teaching in the schools. And why?
Laws are founded on morality; reh-
gion makes one just to himself,
morally just to his neighbor, the
state, the whole, for society can func-
ton without his beliefs, but is lost if
morality is ignored-R. R.

STILL HOLD TO OLD THEORY
Scientists Satisfied to Accept Ancient
Explanation of the Magnetism
of Earth's Surface.

IL was shown by Gilbert in the year
1GOO that the facts then known about
the magnetic condition of the earth's
surface could be explained by assum-
ing that the earth was Il uniformly

of which apprOXimated To the geo
graphical poles. With small mOdifica-
tions this theory has been accepted
universally, but the cause of the mag
netism is still completely obscure. 1t
is Well known that the compass needle
points approximately north and south
over the whole of the globe, except in

The durable substance made from

claimed by Germans to be the inven-

Of Nuremberg, about 174O. While re-
cent researches have confirmed the
fact that he made the first papier
mache snuff boxes, they disclosed that
the method itself had been taught him
by Frenchn1an named Lefevre.
Baskerville, the Birmingham print
er, became interested in the process
in 1745 and laid the foundation for
what later became a great industry.

it. Then England and America at
