OESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT YOUR AUTOMOBILE

Question: In a water-cooled en-
CINE, what is the trouble when the
engine is overheated and the radiator
remains cold?
Answer: This indicates a stop
page in the water connections be-
tween the engine and radiator or a
broken pump. The pump shaft is
usually made in two pieces held to-
gether by a pin so that if the pump
is INSTRUCTED, that pin will shear off,
thus preventing the blades OF the
pump from being damaged. Failure
of the pump may be due to this pin
having been sheared Off If the wa
ter circulating system appears to be
all right, the trouble may be caused
by the fan belt slipping.
Question: What is the proper
clearance between the valve stem and
the valve tappets when the valves
have been replaced after grinding?
Answer: The proper clearance
varies with different engines, but
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1921-11-25

usually ranges between four thou
sanths and eight thousandths of an
inch The clearance should be
checked, of course. with the valve
closed and the tappet all the way
down a sheet of paper or a card be-
ing used to test the clearance.
Question: 4 DISCHARGED battery
can be made to operate the starter
in a relatively short time by battery
dopes 1t will be strong for few
days and then lose strength very
quickly Please explain how these
solutions work.
Answer Some of the so-coIled
battery "rejuvenators" do renew the
ability of the battery to start the en-
slne in short time However.
most of them operate by removing
the outer layer of lead sulphate
from the discharged plate and ey-
posing a fresh surface Of active com
pounds The material which is
taken off is forever lost and natural
~ the life of the battery is greatly
shortened. In recharging a battery
with current of electricity. the way
'hat Is recommended by practically
all battery manufacturers. this lead
suiphate is reconverted to active ma
terlal and is retained for further
work. Avoid battery reviewers if Won
want to get the longest possible life
from your battery.
Question; How can a person fill
the vacuum feed tank on a car when
1t has failed to refill?
Answer: Some cars have .
vacuum pump on the dash for this
purpose When a pump is not pro-
Vlded, close the throttle. choke the
carburetor and turn the engine over
a Few revolutions with the starter
II this does not fill the tank sadi-
ment or dirt may have lodged ON
the air inlet and prevent it from
closing.

beets, and second course of baked
apples and oatmeal cookies.
One group made cookies, another
prepared cream sauce, another ar

THE FUTURE PRICE OF WHEAT
(By f. f. Gaines, Dept. of Farm
Crops, Washington State
College,

DR.. G. +. Warren, head of the de-
partment of agricultural economics
and farm management at Cornell
University, has recently written a r.
page bulletin on Prices of Farm
Products in the United States" in
which he makes the statement: I'm
til Russia again becomes an export
ing nation the outlook for the export
Of wheat and rye is apparently more
favorable than for most other farm
products" He also shows that wheat
at the present time is much below
the average index wholesale price of
all commodities.
These two statements should give
the wheat producer of the Northwest
a ray of hope for the future, and en-
courage him to raise wheat if he is
going to stay in the farming game.
With a favorable foreign market, a
surplus is not likely to accumulate
in this country, and for that reason
wheat should maintain a somewhat
higher price level than other farm
products.
Dr.. Warren shows that the price
to the producer of practically all
farm products is now corresponding
ly so per cent lower than the aver
age wholesale price of the things he
has to buy. 1t is therefore inevita-
Bile that either the things the farmer
has to sell will bring a better price,
or the things he has to buy will cost
less in the near future.
Another reason for optimism on
the part of the wheat growers of the
Northwest, in particular, is the sell
ing power of the wheat growers
association. This association con-
trolls enough wheat to be able to fill
the huge orders from the orient and
can often get a higher price than
local quotations. The cost of ham
ding in large quantities is somewhat
less and the lowered rates of trans
portation via the Panama Canal gives
a reader access to all markets than
ever before. Furthermore, there is
probably no section of the United
States so favored by climate and soil
for growing wheat as the great wheat
regions Of the Pacific Northwest.
The wheat growers of the Palouse
and Big Bend regions who can hold
on and stick to raising wheat for the
next five years should be much bet
ter off, financially, than their broth
ers of the central states growing
corn and livestock.

a place Of residence because of this
wealth Of literary material. Some OF
these libraries are particularlysval
able in their specialties, being devoted
to distinct lines. Congress has been
wisely liberal in the provision Of funds
for the development of the book col
lection under its own direct super
vision. 1t has now become research
library of national and even interna-
tional Importance.
Old world capitals have certain spe-
cial libraries of great note and value,
and it is still necessary for students
along particular lines to go abroad
to get materials in rare instances. But
for general research. and particularly
for general reading. the libraries To-
Gated here meet every need.
Some of the book collections in
Washington are still available only
to a few persons owing to restrictions
of administration. There is probably
a need of some central reference in
dex to serve as a guide to these par
ticular groups of books. to make them
more surely useful to those who need
to read along definite lines. 1t would
be well for the Library Association
to consider methods of co-ordinating
all these book collections and making
them, if not Enthusiastically one, at
least one as Tar as public availability

Enlarge the Bathing Beach!

A special appropriation may be
urged from Congress for immediate
grant and use for the extension Of the
Tidal Basin bathing beach. For the
sum Of $4,000, it is estimated, the
beach can be extended from its present
length Of $50 feet to 800 feet. This
will almost double it's capacity.
A visit to the bathing beach any
day last summer, save in case of
storm. would have convinced any
person of the need of greater facil-
tiles for public bathing. The short
stretch of shore was crowded all the
time. On particularly hot days the
congestion at the beach reached the
point of acute discomfort. 1t is now
believed that there is danger in the
overcrowding of the beach through the
pollution of the water, and one of the
reasons for the proposed extension is
to lessen that yisk.
1t has been alleged that the waters
Of the Tidal basin are now polluted
by sewage to such an extent as to
menace the health Of those who use
the beach. This risk, however, is less
than that of the overcrowding. There
should. Of course, be no question about
the purity of the water in which the
people are bathing. Eventually a de-
velopment of the sewer system will
greatly lessen, if it does not altogether
remove. the possibility of sewage pol.
luton in the basin. Meanwhile, it is
certain that increased bathing facil.
ities will be needed-that they are
needed now-and inasmuch as no other
place is available or so suitable as the
Tidal basin for this purpose. it would
seem to be proper to press for the ex-
tension appropriation at the extra ses.
sion, SO that the people may have at
least a roomy bathing beach.

Bolshevism as a Reality.

A dispatch from Reval, by way Of
Rotterdam, states that radicals re-
Gently deported from the United States
are playing a prominent part in the
new revolution in Russia. These de-
portees, says the correspondent, have
great expectations Of Russia, but were
bitterly disappointed when they found
that the communistic regime repre-
sented nothing but a sentence to an
indefinite term Of labor without ade-
quate food"
1t must be remembered that these
deportees did not go back to Russia
willingly. They preferred to stay
here. They may have assumed con-
tentment with their return to the be-
loved land of the proletariat, but in
their hearts even these would have
rather stayed here to promote as
propa gandists the beautiful theory of
grim reality of the soviet in operation.
The world is full of such folks, peo-
pie who are glib in preaching doc
trines. but who do not want to prac-
in a pamphlet, but even those who
write the pamphlets probably know
that it is a bad working proposition.
Could these deportees have had any
illusions il they read their own tracts
at all intelligently? They knew that
everything was in common ownership,
that everybody was under compul-
sion to do a certain amount and
specified kind of work, and that there
was no individual wealth. They knew
that there was no opportunity for the
individual to rise save perhaps by the
favor of the self-selected proletariat,
constituting the government. 1t was
dull person, indeed, who could see
anything in Russia other than "a
sentence to an indefinite term Of labor
without adequate food
But bolshevism and that sort of
thing feed upon dullness. upon stu
pidity, upon ignorance, upon inabil.
ity to reason, to see clearly. The Rus
sian people as a mass are Of that
class, unfortunately, in consequence
OF centuries Of tyrannical rule that
kept from them all opportunities for
advancement and development. The
people who left Russia and came here
to better themselves should have ad-
vanced far enough to see the utter
fallacy Of the soviet plan. But it seems
that they had to get back and drink
Of the cup Of reality in order to know
its bitterness.

Foreign Trade Financing Vital
if American Prosperity
Is to Continue.

might have been made abroad. or
at least might have been made
from imported materials. The
linen tablecloth at your ciuo
where you ate lunch was made
from Irish linen, in all proba-
bility. And so it goes. You
couldn't get along without the
things you get from abroad. And
for that matter. none OF US
could
Il merely cite this to show how
little the average man realizes
how dependent we are on foreign
goods. and how necessary our for
eign trade Is. The public, which
has so much at stake, must sup
port every legitimate effort to
find markets for our goods.
ITO handle long-term financing
abroad we need specialized equip
ment. and that is the reason the
Foreign Trade Financing Cor
poration is being formed. The
corporation is designed to finance
United States, financier and Work
man alike, purchases by the rest
of the world of Americas sur
plus of raw materials and manu-
factured products.
''At this time many foreign buy
ers, even the strongest. suffering
from the effects of an exhaustlng
war. are unable to pay for sup
plies of goods on other than long
time credit arrangements. The
banks cannot grant long-term
credits. This new Edge law cor
poration can.
* **
Reorganization of this new and
mammoth corporation marks a
new departure in American
finance. 1t is a new kind Of busi-
ness for US, although Germany
built up an enormous export busi-
ness on the long-term credit plan.
Our financial system was made
more elastic with creation OF the
federal reserve banks. In domes-
tic finance we are constantly
making changes and improve
ments. We are just now building
up in this country system OF
acceptances and open account
banking institutions to meet new
demands for financing. Here In
washington we have an example
of this kind of institution in the
International Finance Corpora
tion.
'In financing our foreign trade we
must make new departures and
engage in financing on a scale
undreamed of few years ago.
But the task is too big for the
bankers alone. Business must
help and the public must assist
as well. The hundred million dol
lars of stock in the Foreign Trade
Financing Corporation is not be-
ing restricted to banks. 1t is Of
fered to the public, and the public
will share in the benefits. If the
proposition falls down because Of
lack of interest every citizen Of
the country will feel the reaction
in lessened business at home, in
unemployment and in hard times,
such as we used to see not SO
many years ago"

some useful occupation, some OF them
are taught trades, and all OF them
are kept busy in one way or another'
But in the jails there is no way to Keep
them occupied. They go through
dull routine Of eating and sleeping
and a little exercise. but otherwise
they must sit in complete idleness.
A Jail is poor place for correctional
purposes. 1t is not constructive
punishment. OF course. many people
who are in Jail are there only under
accusation and not conviction. The
law has never considered it incumbent
upon the state or the municipality to
provide and enforce employment OF
any kind for persons awaiting trial.
Yet as long as they are deprived Of
their liberty why could they not be
given some form of occupation?
This, of course. does not touch dl-
rectly the case of the Alabama pris-
oner who decided to move to field
of activity more or less legal. No mat
might be provided for an accused per-
son awaiting the disposition OF his
case, he would regard himself as en-
titled, by the presumption of innocence
which the law theoretically implies, to
the status of an aggrieved person.
Nowadays most people who are ac-
cused of crime can get bail and Sc
cure liberty pending a hearing. Some
times this bail privilege is injudicious-
ly granted and people are set free on
bond who should, out of consideration
for the public safety, be held in
durance. Probably the Alabama man
was impatient Of even the formula
of bail getting. If the Alabama law
officers are on the job they will keep
him SO busy lodging them that he
will not have a chance to engage in
his alleged vocation Of forgery.
