PLEA FOR UNION OF
PROTESTANTS MADE
AT CONVENTION
Speaker at State Convention Of DIscl.
pies Makes Strong Plea for
Uniting Of All the
Churches.

Louisville, Sept. 20. - A plea fol
Christian unity with all of the
churches teaching the principles Of
Christ acting In unison to Twin the
world" was made at the opening ses.
sion of the Kentucky Christian Mis-.
sionary Convention here yesterday by
E. s. Jouett. Of Louisville, president OF
the organization. Mr.. Jouett spoke on
"A Layman's View Of the Disciples OF
Christ" the missionary convention be-
ing held in conjunction with the gen.
eral convention of the Kentucky
church.
After reviewing the history of the
Disciples Of Christ in Kentucky, Mr.
| Jouett declared that the question of
right living is for the individuals con-
science and that 1t is the duty Of the
church to arouse the individuals con-
science and teach the principles that
were taught by Christ" He then called
to the attention Of his auditors the
unity that won the war for the allies
and continued:
"The lesson to the divided armies of
God in the present contest is plain.
Jesus the Christ, knowing what was in
store for us, and expressing the WIS.,
dom of God himself, not only an
nounced it as fundamental in his
plan for world salvation, but he defin-
itely warned us, his disciples against
the danger and weakness of disunion
and besought us to stand united in the
accomplishment of our task of Chris
tianizing the world.
$50 earnest and deeply concerned
was he about 1t that he did not trust
even his own powers of persuasion but
definitely prayed to the father that his
disciples might be united. ~ The
crisis has come and now, more than
ever before, this seems to be the great
need of the Christian
world, just as the spirit of cooperation
Is dominant in the political world. The
problem for each denomination and
ours is not whether we can
accomplish the thing, but whether we
are doing our part toward its accom-

,ibility rests upon the humblest lay |

recalled the Unity convention in st. |

asserting that on fundamental facts |

CITY SAVES NEAT
SUM IN BUILDING
SEWERS ITSELF
Over Four Thousand Dollars Saving
Made For Taxpayers Of MaysvIlle
In Gty's Building Sewers Them
selves This Summer.

The five new sewers ordered built
this summer by City Council have now
been completed by the Internal I'm
provement Committee and final set
tlement Is being made for the work.
All the sewers are first class in every
respect and residents along the line
Of all five will be expected to tap into
them at once. 1t Is expected that the
completion Of these sewers will mean
much plumbing work for the balance
Of this fall.
BY rejecting all bids and having the
sewers built by the city itself under
the direction of the Internal Improve
ment committee, the city has saved
for the taxpayers of Maysville more
than four thousand dollars. Mayor
Russell, Chairman Davis, Of the In
ternal Improvement Committee, and
Street Commissioner Ben T. Smith
have given the work their personal at
tention and deserve much credit for
the splendid work and the savings
made.
The lowest bid for the building Of
the four original sewers was $6,250.00.
After the rejection of all bids and the
decision of Council to do the work
themselves, an additional sewer was
added to the list. After all five sew
ers have been built the total cost to
the city is figured at $1,73S.4O, show
ing that there has been a saving to the
city Of $4,5116O. These figures do not
include the cost Of the sewer pipe as
the city had already purchased the
pipe and this was not figured in the

DEATH TRAPS ON ROAD SIDES
Highway Authority Condemns Present
Type Of Construction-Not Suf-
fieiently Wide.

The present type Of highways is
equipped with death traps on each
side: says George G. Diehl. chairman
Of the good roads board of the Amer.
lean Automobile association, In an
article In Motor. He condemns the
present ditch system of drainage and
advocates a system of underground
drain pipes. making ditchless roads Of
our highways.
'The highways of the future says
Mr.. Diehl, must have roadways Of
sufficient width not merely for safety,
but for the comfortable confidence Of
the driver. A. car owner may come
through alive at the end of a days
run on a popular t~horoughfare, but
the condition Of his nerves after he
has balanced himself 80 times an hour
between a yawning ditch at his right
and whizzing cars at his left, Is some
thing that need not be described to
the average driver, because he has
been there.
Fear of an open ditch breeds over
caution that drives men to the other
extreme and brings about collisions
On fairly wide roadways with deep
bitches drivers are reluctant to use
only one-half Of the roadway, since
a momentary slip mea disaster. Al
lowance for a two or three-foot mar
gin Of safety by drivers between thelr
cars and the ditch reduces the effec'
tive width four or five feet. Safety
and comfort demand the discontinue
ance of deep bitches.
"On a pleasant Sunday afternoon ir
the touring season, probably most o.
these people are on the road. Every
effort should be made to care for h e
safety. The roads ought to be made
as safe as human ingenuity can maxi
them, instead Of being fitted Wit
death traps on each side" he con
cludes.

USING KEROSENE
IN AUTO ENGINE
Convenient and Reliable Ar
rangement Outlined for Pro-
vidlng Gasoline.
ANOTHER CARBURETOR ADDED
No Difficulty Has Been Experienced
With New System, and Greater
Mileage Has Been Obtained
Fuel Cost ls Reduced.

Those who have attempted the use
Of kerosene as fuel in automobile en-
gines are aware OF the lmpossibility Of
starting on this fuel, and the neces-
sity of providing gasoline for use until
the engine warns up. To provide a
convenient and reliable means of do
Ing this, an additional carburetor. and n
small auxiliary c~ontalner for gasoline
were fitted 10 n delivery car and hav
given good results.
Briefly, the installation and opera
ton Of the system are as follows: An
other carburetor, similar to the one on
the car, was obtained. The intake
manifold was removed, and was faced
Oft at Its dividing point to take the
carburetor flnnge. At the center Of
the face thus made an inlet hole was
drilled to match the carburetor o~rifice,
and at either side two bolt holes were
tapped to correspond with the holes In
the carburetor flange. At one end of
h main fuel tank, n fiat gasoline res
ervolr, with a capacity Of n gallon,
was placed, as the contalner for, the
gasoline supply. 1t was connected to
the extra carburetor installed on the
side of the intake manifold.
The main tank, fuel pipe, and carbu-
rotor control on the steering column
remained unchanged. The control for
the additional carburetor was mounted
on the dash and consisted of a direct
rod connection to the throttle and a
friction control lever. The adjusting
screws On the throttle valves Of both
carburetors were set so as to have

BELL FINDS WIRE TROUBLES
Electric Buzzer With Dry Cell VIII Be
Found Useful In Locating
Short Circuits.

Repair men will find the use Of an
old electric door bell very handy in
locating short circuits, ground wires,
open circuits, blown fuses, WORKOUT
sockets. broken wires and other diff
cultles.
Bind the bell to a dry cell with tape
or cord and wire in series, leaving the
outside wires six to eight feet long.
Secure a clip on the end of each Of
these wires, and in making the test
fasten these wires to the different
parts Of the wiring system Of the car
where trouble is suspected. If the
bell rings the wire is In good condi-
ton; II not, the trouble can be easily
located.

ATTENTION TO REAR SPRINGS
But Few Owners Take Trouble to Turn
Up Grease Cups Provided
for lubricatino.

Many cars are fitted with rear
springs mounted on seats which oscil-
late. These springs usually have some
means Of fabrication, but few wne

cup provided.
While 1t Is not necessary to turn the
cup each day, 1t is a good plan 10 pay
some attention to this most impor-
tant part. In cantilever suspensions
the center bearing Of the spring
should be well oiled. Usually this
bearing operates on a small steel shaft
extending out from the frame.
In some cases a tube running trans
versely of the frame is used. IL no

LOCK COTTER PIN IN PLACE
Not Necessary to Bend Ends Over

Just Prevent Slipping.

After having slipped the cotter pin
into place do not bend the ends over

necessary to do this, because the cot
ter will lock Just as securely II the
ends are spread just enough to pre-

When the ends are bent considera-

sufficiently for later removal Of the
pin, and further. the ends are very apt
to break OFF when the part is In serv-
ice, with the very probable result
that the m-treated cotter will slip out.
Thus. instead of excessive end bend
ing being an effective locking means,
