QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

| Within. the past month I have had
| the valves ground in my engine and
the carbon removed and still it knocks
! when running on the level. and more
so when climbing hill. What further
repair can you suggest? L. B. T.
The grinding Of the valves and the
removal of carbon will not eliminate
| a knock caused by loose bearings. If
| the knocking only occurs when the
| engine overheats. the cooling system
| is defective. If the knocking Is grow
ing worse, some bearing is coming
taken down to repair it. 1t is ex-
tremely dangerous to run the engine
in this condition.

| Some Of my friends talk about using
I the engine as brake. How is this
! done? Does it hurt the engine any?

CHAMBER STILL AFTER BANKHEAD
Lively Interest Shown at Regu- 5 lar Meeting of Chamber of
 Commerce When Subject of
 Highway is BrOached.

People of Prescott and Nevada .onntv who realize the importance of tho Bankhead Highway through the ,ounty are getting a craw full of the ,tnf which is continually developing to cause delay after delay in getting ,omethng done about the Nevada ,ountv section of the Bankhead High wav. This much was in evidence at tbe regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night and a blind. doaf and dumb man could have real
 ;vod that the members present want ed something done about this import ant road matter and done at once. Nobody got "riled up" about it, but simply as a business proposition, Prescott and Nevada county are al- ready suffering the consequences of the neglect in this matter, according to the members of the chamber.
 On motion of Secretary Hamby, a committee of twelve members was appointed by President Blakely, and this committee will endeavor to ar range joint meeting of commission CTS of both district, No. 1 and Mo- 2, at which meeting Judge Franks will be asked to be present for the pur- pose of straightening out the kinks SO that the road may be built.
 Many matters were discussed at the meeting, among which were ap- plication of the ton of chloride which was ordered as an experiment to keep down the dust on the streets. The ton of chloride has already arrived. Secretary Hamby announced that H. B.

ACCEPTANCE OF
 CLAIM EXPECTED
Administration FOresees Vic tory in Tap Dispute-Shan- tung Not an Issue Between U. $. and Allies at Present.

Washington April 7.-Administra tiOn officials, it may be stated with authority, confidently expect the al- lied governments to accept the prin- ciple restated by Secretary Hughes in his notes of last Monday to those governments that the United States has surrendered none of it's rights in the overseas possessions of Germany and that it cannot be bound by deci- sions affecting those possessions made by the league of nations with out its assent.
 There is reason to believe that the correspondence on this subject, which was initiated last November, will not be closed with the receipt of the replies from the Japanese, British, French and Italian foreign offices. If the expectations of American officials are realized, the details regarding American rights will have to be worked out in negotiation. In the event, however, that the four powers do not find their way to an agreement with the American viewpoint there would arise a situation action on which officials refused today to fore cast
 The Shantung settlement in the peace treaty, which has been sharp ly criticised in this country, is not an issue in the present controversy. It is learned that the phrase "oversea possessions" in the American com- munications was used advisedly and it is pointed out that Shantung was not German possession. Kiao-Chau, part of that Chinese province, was held by Germany through a conces- sion from the Chinese government.
 The view of the Harding admins tration with respect to the Shantung settlement has not been stated, but this settlement was vigorously op- posed by the new administration | HeduS III DlC kOtIIdJt WIlllG llle CIGdCy of Versailles was under consideration by that body and was made the sub ject of the Republican reservations to the treaty which were adopted.
 The latest American notes are known to mark third chapter, at least, in the diplomatic exchanges with the allied governments on the subject of mandates in general and the Pacific island of Yap in particu- lar. The American viewpoint was first stated by Secretary Colby in notes to the four great powers in last November and, consequently, was supplemented in a note to the council of the league of nations.

JACK CRIMSON RECEIVES
 POSTMASTER APPOINTMENT

The warm contest for the postmas- tership of Prescott which has been going on for the past few months, getting more interesting each day, came to close yesterday afternoon in the city of Little Rock when the Republican state central committee, together with other recommendations went on record as favoring Jack Grayson for postmaster of Prescott over c. E. Shoemaker, who with the ail of petitions widely signed, has made himself easily the only com petitor of MT. Grayson all through the contest
 MT. Grayson we'll deserves his sig nal success as he is one of the staunch men of the Republican party, and one of the leaders in Southwest Ark ansas. Men may come and men may go from the Republican party, but Jack Grayson will remain forever, is a good way to put it.
 MT. Grayson has been postmaster here three terms in the past and his father, Zack Grayson held the office one term. He also has three brothers who hold the postmastership in towns in this state at present, therefore the handling of Uncle Sam's postal busi- ness is family talent He will sue ceed Walter E.

BRITAIN REACHES
 BRINK OF CHASM
Negotiations Fail and Rail Men Vote to Strike-Miners and Government at Grips Over Naturalization of Mines.

London, April 7.-Another day of tense alternations of hope and fear ended with one of. the prime minis ter's characteristic eleventh hour in- terventions, bringing renewed pros poets that the grave industrial crisis will be averted. He announced in the House of Commons tonight the Willingness of the government to par tlcipate in conference to discuss the question of pumping before other matters were considered.
 Informal conferences continued throughout the evening, moderates like Mr. Asquith, Lord Robert Cecil, Arthur Henderson and John Robert Clynes working hard in an endeavor to induce the miners to relent on the question of pumping, and it was SUD- posed that the whole question was turning on this slender hope.
 London, April 7.-"You propose to flood not only our mines, but every industry in England and leave her in the condition of Russia" This was the charge leveled at the miners delegates by Premier Lloyd George at today's meeting.
 After many secret meetings of the miners, the transport and the rail road unions today, it looks once more as though general upheaval is inn minent.
 The premier's mediation move with the object of reopening negotiations between the miners and the mine own CTS, utterly collapsed early today and from then on it was war talk by all parties.
 Both the railroad and transport delegates have now formally decided to strike, but the order has not yet been issued. The triple alliance meets tomorrow to decide when to call out the men.
 Instead of the mediation by the government advancing the cause ot peace, as expected, it has actually widened the gulf. It has disclosed the bitter, uncompromising spirit of the mems leaders and the equal determin- ation of the cabinet not to concede the demand of the miners that they have their pay kept up out of taxa tion, which the delegates now insist is an essential condition of the settle. ment.
 Textile workers, electricians anC other important sections of labor are beginning to take up position of solidarity with the miners. Con fronting the government tonight i' the possible complete nationwide stagnation of industry
 Premier Lloyd Georges supporters are urging him not to give way They assert that the employers re gard the big clash as inevitable an' that it is better to face it at ono than to allow it to continue to hanl over the nation as an ever-presen menace.
 The premier is continuing his un official talks with J. H. Thomas ant other moderates, in the hope of find ing another basis for negotiations.
