Idaho on the 3rd and Wyoming on the 11th, both in 1890, were admitted to the Union in July.
 July is the beginning of the fiscal year in national and state administra- tions in the United States.
 The AnglO-SaxOns called July Heg- mOnath "hay mOnth," or Maed-mon- ath, "mead-month, the meadows then being in bloom.
 July, the seventh month in the Christian calendar, was the fifth month originally and by the Romans was called Quintillis.
 July derives its name through being the birth month of Julius Caesar and the use of the word July came into use in the year of his death.
 Another name for what is now the month of July, was after-liota, "the latter mild month," in contrad;stinc- tiOn to June, ''the former mild month"
 July 4, the principal holiday, on the calendar of the American small boy, marks the anniversary of the Declara- ton of Independence from British rule.

New YOrk.-John Bassett Moore an- nounced at his residence here that he would accept election to the Interna- tional Court of Justice. He is in his sixty-first year. Elihu Root, who had declined election because of age, is 76.
 MT. Moore has been professor of in- ternatiOnaI law and diplomacy at Co., lumbia University for twenty years and has had a varied public service invOlv- ing international relations.
 He was a law clerk in the Depart ment of State in 1885, third assistant secretary of state from 1886 to 1891, assistant secretary of state in 1898, sec retary and counsel of the Spanish American peace commission in 1898, councillor of the State Department in 1913. He has been a member of the permanent court at The Hague since 1914, and is vice chairman of the inter national high commission organized at the Pan-American financial conference in 1915.
 The American candidate, John Bas- sett Moore, was chosen on the second ballot. His election provoked the greatest applause. The South and Cen tral American combination with Spain, carried through its slate of four candi- dates on the first ballot. It became necessary, however, for them to sacri- flee Dr. A. Alvarez of Chile, because the council did not put his name on it's list. In the re-balloting Dr. Huber of Switzerland and Judge Nyholm of Den- mark outvoted him.

brown caterpillars were sisters and
brothers.
"Did our mother receive this leaf as

caterpillar.
"Oh no." said the second little brown
caterpillar. "She just liked the looks

lar.

"And people will forget that we were

"Look at those beautiful butterflies
with their blue markings" added the
tenth little brown caterpillar.
"We will pretend not TO hear them
but II will please us" said the elev-
enth little brown caterpillar.
"Of course 1t will please us" said
the twelfth little brown caterpillar.
"We will eat and grow strong so we
will he very beautiful" said the thir-
teenth little brown caterpillar.
"And eat too because 1t Is so pleas
ant to eat" said the fourteenth little
brown caterpillar as he took an extra

bigger and then they went off, each one

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR
AILING CARBURET0R
Troubles Are Many and Varied,
Some Common.
Little Water In Gasoline Will Cause
Disturbance Because II 10 Heavy
and Settles a. Bottom-keep
GsS strainers Clean.

"Carburetor troubles are many and
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
the gasoline will cause lot Of trouble.
Water Is heavier than 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 imblblng too much liquid
refreshment. 1t has a tendency to be-
come Ill. This indicates that the float
valve mechanism is out of order.
leaky float will cause the same trouble.
If the valve is to blame this may be
determined by looking at its seat, III
the seat is rough II should be carefully
ground in with oil and emery by ro-
tating the spindle on It's seat. A bent
valve spindle will also cause flooding.
In this case remove the float, place the
spindle on 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 carburetor and II the fuel does
not continue to emerge In n steady
stream after the float chamber Is
emptied the trouble Is in the pipe.
Unscrew the unions at each end of the
pipe line and run wire through Its
length. Also make sure that all the
gas stralners are clean, both at the
vacuum 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
gasoline. A leak in the intake pipe
will admit too much air in the cylin'
ders and result In a poor mixture
which cannot be set by changing the
| adjustments"
