A large job is about to be undertake
en- in connection with the deepening
of the outer harbor of the French port

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR
AILING CARBURETOR
Troubles Are Many and Varied,
Some Common.
Little Water in Gasoline Will Cause
Disturbance Because 1t Is Heavy
and Settles at Bottom-keep
Gas Strainers Clean.

"Carburetor troubles are many and
varied, but there are some which are
common, and, as a rule, the remedy Is
simple in these cases." says William H.
Stewart jr, president of the Stewart
Automobile school. "a little water in
theNgasoline will cause lot Of trouble
Water is heavier ffan gasoline and
settles at the bottom. Therefore, when
the fuel Is low in the tank, any water
Is likely to be drawn into the car
buretor.
"The carburetor sometimes acts like
man when imbibing too much liquid
refreshment. 1t has tendency to be-
come Ill. This indicates that the float
valve mechanism is out of order. A
leaky float will cause the same trouble.
If the valve is to blame this may be
determined by looking at its seat. If
the seat is rough it should be carefully
ground in With oil and emery by ro-
tating the spindle on its seat. A bent
valve spindle will also cause flooding.
In this case remove the float, place the
spindle on a block of wood and
straighten the bent part with few
light taps from a lead hammer.
"Should the engine balk suddenly
ane the ignition system be found to
be in good shape, the feed pipe is
probably choked. Open the drain valve
of the carburetor and if the fuel does
not continue to emerge in a steady
stream after the float chamber Is
emptied the trouble is in the pipe.
Unscrew the unions at each end ofSthe
pipe line and run a wire through its
length. Also make sure that all the
gas strainers are clean, both at the
vacuum tank and carburetor.
1.-The set-screw on the butterfly valve
sometimes becomes loose. This trouble
is easily found inasmuch as the engine
will fail to respond to the movement
of the throttle. The supplykvalve In
the feed pipe at the tank end should
fit snugly in it's seat, otherwise it may
Jar partly shut and cut off the flow Of
gasoline. A leak In the intake pipe
will admit too much air in the cylin-
ders and result in a poorVmixture,
which cannot be set By changing the
adjustments"

Who Controls Back Of Seat?

"Say, take your coat off of my

"My coat isn't on your bat. And
If it is, you can just take your hat
away My coats going to stay where

you can put your coat ON your
lap. I'll call the usher"
That's the way the argument be-
gan between the two women in the
movie theatre. The woman in front
had dropped her coat over the back
of her seat. The woman in back OBJ
jected, because she had "parked" her
new spring hat there.
But the question, who owns the
back of the seattle person who
sits in the seat or the one behind
was left unsettled, because the owner
of the coat moved to another seat

board ever exhibited was that of the

great many stories as Of Charlton and
Cerberus, Actacon and Diana, and
many Others" This king of sign

When Smoking Was Under ban.

To crush the increasing love Of
pleasure the Connecticut law of 1647
sternly decreed that only the solitary
smoke should be permitted. Only
once a day, at dinner or otherwise,
might tobacco be used, land then not
in company with any other" No one
might use t. nacco in any other house
than his own in the town where he
lived with and in company Of more
than one who useth and drinketh the
same weed, with him at that time"
For violating any item Of the law the
penalty was sixpence, and only one
witness was required.-From "Ye Old

WHY.
Loyalty Is One of the Greatest
Human Attributes.

When a man is loyal, he has found
the summum bonum of life, writes
Nathan Howard Gist in Pennsylvania
Grit. More than good, he is good for
something. Ellis loyalty warns his heart
1t wins the confidence of others to-
ward him, whether they love or hate
him. His loyalty shines out as the
finest of qualities. When a man is
loyal, there Is no domestic strife SO
far as he is concerned. When wom-
an is loyal, her husband trusts her
everywhere, and justly so. Loyalty
is the antidote for divorces.
When a man is loyal, he'has no trou-
BILE to speak of in his industrial plant.
His employees love him, and every
man in his employ would cut off his
right arm for him.
When a man is loyal, he gives his
employer the best he has. He may
find his work distasteful. His hours
may be long and badly arranged for
him. His general surroundings may
be anything but pleasant. But while
he is in the employment Of that man,
he has sense enough not to condemn
his employer. His loyalty puts pad
lock on his lips, and he frowns on any
suggestion at insurgency.
When man is loyal, he despises
the finger Of scorn. He places a damp
err on the devilish gossip that poisons
the whole community. He plucks ev-
cry thistle he sees, and plants a rose
in its place.
When a man Is loyal, he is the in
veterate foe of malice, or friction, Of
the divisions 81 opinion that separate
men.
When man is loyal, he Is true to
his country-in time Of war, which is
occasional, in times Of peace, which
is nearly all Of the time. His best
patriotism is the patriotism of peace.

Manufacturing Billiard Balls.

Quite large elephant tusks are q
requisite in the making of billiard
balls. They are first cut into the re-
quired length, forming blocks from
which the balls are to be carved.
These blocks are placed in the hands
of expert tracers who mark the stand
ard measurements of circumference,
after which the block goes TO the cut
ter and is gradually cut by machine
into spherical form. The process Of
polishing is done after six months,
during which period the balls are kept
in special dark dying chambers.
