Little Italy on Manhattans lower
East Side motored today behind the
$4,000 bronze casket of Rocco Franko,
world war veteran, one victim of a
mysterious double shooting near his

The cost Of the most imposing fu-
neral the foreign colony ever has
known was estimated at more than
$4,000. A cortege of $50 automobiles
with two bands was in line. while
thousands followed the procession as
it wound its way through narrow
streets. Scores Of floral pieces, some
eight feet high. banked the entrance
of the little church where the serv-
ice was held.

Several hundred pigs ran wild
through the streets and yards

sticks and stones. The pigs
scattered during the melee.

DO YOU SIT DOWN PROPERLY
Sometimes That 10 a Little Mistake
in Daily Existence That Tends
to Shorten Life.

1t Is said that there Is a right and a
wrong way Of doing everything.
Yet how many of us realize that
there is a right and a wrong way OF
sitting down, climbing stairs and SO
on? asks a London Tit-Bits writer.
Sitting down on a char seems so
easy that 1t is impossible to do 1t the
wrong way. but a specialist. lecturing
recently, pointed out that the habit
many people have of sitting on the
edge of a chair is very injurious. A
certain nerve is sat upon, and The re-
suit is sciatica, caused through the
nerve being injured.
Walking up stairs is another thing
that nine out of every ten people do
the wrong way. The usual method
Is to place the ball of the foot on the
stairs and then take the whole weight
Of the body IN the part of the foot,
the heel never being placed on the
ground until the top is reached. The
right way, however, is to place the
whole of the foot on each stair. III
this is done, there will not be so much
fatigue when the top is reached.
The habit of boiling eggs and bacon,
coffee and other things, and then run
ming for a train or bus, is fatal to
the digestive system. The food Is not
properly masticated, and the who'll
body is disorganized by the wild rush
for the train.
How many people drink a gallon OF
water a day? This Is the amount that
should be taken If n wishes to re-
tain good health.
Many people go wrong in cleaning
their teeth. The habit of merely wash
ing the outside of the teeth is wrong
The back and top Of the teeth need
Just as much attention. Decay sets In
as easily at the back and on the top
of the teeth as anywhere else. Re
member also that the top of the teeth
Is the part that comes in actual con-
tact with food.
Standing does not appear to be a
particularly difficult operation, but no.
tice people standing in a railway STA
ton. Notice the men, with their
hands buried in their pockets, backs
bent, and heads dropping forward n
the women with their feet at extra
ordinary angles, and so on.
The body, when one Is standing,
should be balanced equally on the two
feet, which should be turned out
slightly. The whole body should be
held upright, including the head.
Talking to n doctor, the writer asked
him what effect doing such things In
the wrong way would have on the
life of an ordinary healthy person.
He replied that 1t was difficult to
eeneraIlze, but that doing something In
the wrong way daily might lessen life
nv fifteen wears or more.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR

Troubles Are Many and Varied,
Some Common.
Little Water in Gasoline Will Cause
Disturbance Because II Is Heavy
and Settles at Bottom-keep
Gas Strainers Clean.

"Carburetor troubles are many ana
varied, but there are some which are
common, and, as a rule, the remedy is
simple in these cases" says William IL.
Stewart jr, president of the Stewart
Automobile school. "A little water In
Water is heavier than gasoline and

1.-THE carburetor sometimes acts like
a man when imbibing too much liquid
refreshment. 1t has a 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. II
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 a 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 earburetor 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 of the
pine line and run a wire through its
length. Also make sure that all the
gas strainers are clean, both at the
II tank and carburetor.
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 supply valve In
the feed pipe at the tank end should
fit snugly In its seat. otherwise 1t may
jar partly shut and cut Off the flow OF

More than 100000 pounds of butt
ter was made by 93 creameries in the'
Southern states In the year ending De-
cember 81, 1919. Thirty of the 81
cheese factories scattered throughout
the mountain region turned out 4S1,-
OO0 pounds of Cheddar cheese. SilOs,
modern dairy barns, and purebred
dairy COWS are becoming common.
Fifteen years ago dairying as an in
dustry had been scarcely started in
the southern states," said a specialist
in the dairy division, United States
Department Of Agriculture. The
South probably has made more prog
ress in the last ID years than any
other section of the country. The in
crease in the number of dairy cows
from 1907 TO 1920 was more than so
per cent. The increase for the en-
tire United States during the same
period was 1873 per cent"
While the increase in number of
cows has been large, it is pointed out
by men working comparatively with
the federal government and the state
agricultural college that the improve
ment in quality has been of even great
er importance. Purebreds have been
shipped In every year in large num-
hers, and great interest has been
shown in the use of purebred sires.
There are now 4S bull associations in

Dairy development began in the

said one of the specialists, but the
improvement was slow at first. 1t
was difficult to convince growers In
my territory that there was anything
for them In dairying. But an object
lesson was found that finally CON

was Il field of cotton that yielded two
bales per acre; on the other side a
field gave half q bale. The farm that
grew two bales to the acre had kept
cows for five years, and the manure
had produced the change. Farmers
