the United States has issued an
omen letter inquiring why the Par
is pollce do not use the same halSh
methods employed in repressipB
gangsters in New York ami Chl-
cago. He uses sarcastic criticism
in describing the polite man
ners in which Paris agents deal
with known desperadoes.
In the United States it is weii
understood, that the life OF a po-
sficeman is worth more than that
of a criminal" writes Dekobra.
"That seems a daring theory to us.
Suppose that a desperado is be-
ing attacked by the New YORK
police and detectives find him In
one of his haunts. Do you ththk
that they walk up to him, tap him
on the shoulder and say, Would
you be good enough to accompany
us to prison?' Not at all. They
close in brusquely, shout, Hands
upv and if their man doesn't obey
instantly they send several bullets
into his legs, or higher up If ne

killed the three Paris policemen
would have had no chance in New
York.
That American "Persuader."
'"There is no Joking with the po'
lice in the United States. In the
first place, instead Of arming them
with the ridiculous weapon We
give our men, the police officials
serve out wooden clubs, excellent
weapons for bringing offenders to
their senses. One night | saw a
single policeman in New York
leading a dangerous man to the
station. 1t would have required
three Paris policemen for the same
work. When this criminal attempt
ed some sharp work with a knife
the policeman simply knocked him
down with his club, blew his whis-
tie and had help in an instant II
was all done neatly and rapidly.

AUTO CARE DURING SUMMER
Radiator Should Always Be Kept
Filled and 1T Intervals Flushed
Out and RefIIed.

During the summer season motorists
should give frequent attention to the
radiator, advises a motor car manu-
facturer. 1t should always be kept
filled, and at intervals 1t should be
flushed out and filed with clean water.
In connection with efficient operation
Of the cooling system, fan belt adjust
ment should be made, for the fan is
needed in summer. The position of the
spark lever should be watched to see
that it is kept in an advanced posi-
ton, thus assuring better cooling of
the motor. >......
Minor parts, such as spring shackles,
wheel bearings, steering connections
and universal joints, require oiling
more often in summer. 1t is wise to
use a heavier grade Of lubricating oil
than in colder weather, and oil should
be drained from the motor at intervals
not to exceed every 1000 miles. =.

valve protrudes, due to wear, pro-
vides an air leak that should be rem
edied. Take the lever off, bush the
hole with the shell Of rifle cartridge
or similar piece of tubing to keep the
air from penetrating at this point. Now
remove the intake valves, discard the
exhaust valves and use the intake
valves in their place. Purchase new
intake valves and If these do not fit
the holes snugly, ream the extreme
ends Of the valve guide and place
copper or brass bushing at each end
or entirely through, If desired.
Fit a small grease-cup and use
graphite grease, and the leakage OF
air at this place will be overcome.
Remove the piston-rings and At new
ones with Tapped ends that will ef-
fectively stop all leaks at this place.
In some carburetors removable
tube is used which can be taken out
and pushed or given heavy coating
: OF solder to close the opening. The OBJ
ject is to narrow the opening and to
give to the stream Of entering air
greater velocity. If the carburetor has
no preheater, one should be added.
With the carburetor removed, push
the butterfly throttle valve to Its
closed position and note the small OPP
ening through which the engine gets
its fuel, which will give you some idea
of the Importance of closing the small
openings that give a combined area
sufficient to dilute the mixture until
it will not burn, which accounts for
the skipping Of the engine in many

needs Of the family demand. 1t Will
be noted that all four of the down.
stairs rooms are on corners, giving
them plenty Of light and ventilation.
The stairs to the second floor lead
out Of one end of the living room to
q hall in the center Of the floor above.
At the end of the hall at the front
is a bedroom, 9 feet 8 inches by IL
feet. At the other end of the hall
is the bathroom, while two more bed
rooms are in the gables at each end
Of the house.
While this house is small, compared
with the old-faslioned idea Of what
the size of a farm home should be-,
it contains plenty Of room for a good
sized family. 1t is of frame construc-
ton, set on brick foundation. The
basement extends under the whole
of the house, excepting Of course, the
front porch.
The good arrangement Of the rooms,
the lack Of waste space that means
work for the hOusekeeper, the attrac-
tive exterior Of the house, all COM
bine to make this a design that Is
popular with modern home builders.

can be furnished prettily, and one in
which the work Of caring for it can
be done without making a drudge OF

home surroundings on the farm she
will seek them elsewhere; she knows
they exist and rightfully wants them.
During the last few years. design

All sorts Of suggestions Of means

brought up on the farms may be in
duced to follow in the footsteps Of
their fathers have been made, with
out much results. Boys continue to
leave the farms for the cities, and up

q serious problem.
Then some one thought Of plan
that Is most simple and Is bound to
be successful because it Is based on
an instinct that nature implants in
all Of us.
To paraphrase a song that was
popular couple Of years ago, "How

In other words the solution Is to make
the farm home SO attractive that the

are along the lines of what modern
homes should be. Practically every
present-day home design has bath

that they will accommo date the modern

one Of the most uncomfortable
things in the world is suddenly to dis
cover, when one is motoring far from
supply station, that the gasoline
tank Is empty or nearly SO. Every au-
tomobile driver meets with an ad-
venture Of this sort at one time or an
other. V
There ought surely to be some con-
trivance that would give timely ad-
vance warning to the motorist Of such
happening.
A device newly patented by William
Crab Of Waterville, O., performs this
useful duty admirably. 1t is very sim
pie, consisting Of float that hangs on
the end Of q vertical rod which passes
upward through the cap of the gasoline
tank and with it's upper end holds sus-
nended ball of metal.
AS the surface level Of the fluid in
the tank is lowered the float, Of course,
descends correspondingly. The rod at.
