Indiana State Normars school on
Wheels" Is headed East on its annual
summer tour. This year a 3,500-mile
trip through Eastern StateA is sched-

touring car, serve to carry the entire
party. The baggage allowed has been
limited to thirty-five pounds per per-

larger cities.
For the most part the scholars will
sleep in the open, hammocks being
carried, which will be pitched be-
tween trees at the evening camping
spots.
From Muncie the school on
Wheels" will go directly to Niagara
Falls, where the first stop Is to be
made for the purpose OF studying
geological conditions in that vicinity
From there the party will head for
the Adirondack mountains, spending
three days in camp,
After leaving the mountains the
speed wagons viii carry the school TO
Maine, Massachusetts,, and New York
city, three days being spent in the
latter place. From there the return

There are three types OF oiljrg

The combined force feed and splash
system differs from the constant
level splash system mainly in that cal

shaft bearings and in some cases 10
one or two other points such as the
timing gears. The rest OF the parts
are fabricated by splash. In the full
force feed system no oil troughs ire

rod bearings, and IN some cases to The
cam-shaft bearings and other points
In this type the trankshaft is drillei
to conduct the oil to the crank pin
bearings. The excess oil which is
thrown from the crank-pin bearings
lubricates the g finders and sthsr
parts of the engine.
MANY VARIATIONS.
There are a good many detail varil-
tons in the design of the oiling sys-
TENS used on thu various makes Of
engines. In the case of constant
level systems the oil level may or
may not be adjustable and there may
or may not be a means of regulating
the oil pressure. In most force feed
systems there Is a regulating valve
which returns the excess oil to the oil
stump. This is. of course. automatic
in action. but an adjustment is usual
ly provided for regulating the spring
tension on the valve.
In some engines there are tw'
valves under spring tension one low
speed and one high speed, and in
Others there is a needle valve to reg
ulate the flow of oil to the beari ngs
and a safety valve to relieve the pros

point. A few engines have the oil
pressure regulated by a. valve inter-
connected with the throttle,
In one type of splash oiling sys-
tenn a plunger pump with a variable
stroke controlled by the throttle is
used. In another type of splash sys-

with the throttle vary the oil level

SIDE LIGHTS ON CITY ELECTION
One Sure Winner

The election for City Board of Trus-
tees is now almost upon us. 1t has
been a long fight, very quiet, but in
tense.
Rumors of combinations, with
drawals, and wild stories of every
sort have been ahoat during the past
two weeks. Some successfully denied,
others standing almost openly re-
vealed.
One fact stands out clearly through
it all, and that is that the voters of
New Iberia have broken loose from
the old idea of being led or casoled
into voting for this or that candidate
and are now doing their own think
ing and their own voting.
Throughout all the campaign, one
particular candidate, who started out
very strong, has been steadily in.
creasing his lead. Every possible poll
teal trick has been pulled to hole
him down, but his record of efficiency
honesty. and devotion to the public
welfare, has prevailed and he nov
stands out as a certain winner il
Mondays contest of ballots.
We refer to Commissioner A. A.
Girard, who will be elected by {
comfortable majority to succeed him
self as Trustee Of Finance.
Always a winner, he has mad,
such a strong, clean campaign, anc
his record has withstood all attack:
SC splendidly, that during the pas
week he has developed a dash O.
speed that will carry him to victory
far / N advance of his two opponents
His splendid stand on the recen
paving %squabble, wherein was savet
s3,75O to the property owners on
few hundred feet of Duperier Avenue
during which he stood up agains
every sort of opposition, has adde,
greatly to his strength among tn,
voters who are looking for a ma,
who will at all times protect thei
interests.
But no matter who is elected I,
these three important offices the Ibe
rian will be found backing them t
the utmost for the prosperity of New
Iberia, and will cooperate to the bes
of our ability to make our little cit,
greater and better.

some of the most precious gems of
our literature. Careful enunciation
and scholarly Interpretation in every

and conscientious study on the part
of the boys; painstaking, efficient and
mastery training on the part of their
teachers.
The coveted premium was awarded
to Richard Arnandez in the Junior
grade, donald Anglers coming a
close second) and Anthony Landry in

we should all feel thankful that only
five of our young citizens who fought
in the great struggle have answered

These five are Joe Terrell, Junius

The same honors were performed
at the grave of every dead soldier of

DOUBTFUL HONOR.
"Omr little neighbor over in Terrebonne, progressive ~ houm IS

tenn. adequate light and power plant, first class schools, a community
needs as a live wire little city, and then is free of Indebtedness, we'll hoi-
Ir with her. But if she is lacking any of these essentials, we don't
know so much about the hokrng biz. For it is far or pndefW or a
CITY to point to the fact that it is in debt up to its neck in a effort to
nrovide all the comforts and convemences and civic beauty possible to at

W nobody nohin, In fact, it is rather a reflection against the progress
sive spirt of a city that has neither an Indebtedness or public utilities

n that a progressive community would rear up on its hind legs and vote
a few hundred thousand dollars with which to acquire these very desirable
municipalo ornaments, and thereby something real big to yell about, rather
than admit that it has the means to get what it needs and won't go II
debt for the small amount necessary to get them. Lafayette yves a hall

New Iberia strikes a happy medium. We don't 100000, but we
do w quite a. lot. But W re have some real paved Streets a. city light
and water plant second to none, and will start soon to erect a high
