 Still; No Arrests

A e00- gallon capacity still and ap- proximately GOO gallons of mash was confiscated by officials of the sher- iff's force, Monday night on the Cahaba river, about a half-mile east of Widermans Camp. No arrests in connection with the still were made.
 This is the fourth still destroyed by the county forces within small radius of this camp within the past ten days.

Dynamite, Fuses and Caps Found in Home of Labor

Chicago. May 15.--A quantity of dynamite, fues and percussion caps. believed by the police to have been the chief source of supply of bombs used in the labor warfare which re- suited in the killing of two police men and the arrest of more than 15o union leaders last week was found In the home of one of the men under arrest.
 The explosives, according to the police, were found in a barrel in the abandoned automobile in which the home of John Miller, owner of the bombers who shot two policemen made their escape. Miller has claimed entire ignorance of the bombing operations and reported that the automobile used had been stolen from him some time ago.
 Attorneys for the eight labor men indicted, including Fred Nader, pres ident of the Chicago Building Trades council and Big Tim" Murphy, known as the city's labor czar" and who was recently convicted of hav- ing taken part in $40o.000 mail robbery, appeared in court to de- mand immediate trails for their cli- ents whose entire innocence they protest.

CITY PLANNING PAYS WELL
H%aphazard Method of Allowing Com
munity to Develop Is Poor Policy
and Costly in the End.

The civic leagues and societies that
get after the authorities to compel the
cleaning up of cities and offer prizes
and other inducements for well-kept
lawns, attractive flower beds, re
formed back yards and the like are
advancing culture and civilization.
Many cities have followed Washing
toms example and have art commits
sions that pass upon all public work
to keep it in harmony with some es-
tablished plan of artistic development.
We should go further than that. Our
building departments carefully ex-
anime every plan made for private as
well as for public buildings and pre-
scribe just how the walls shall be for
strength, how high the building may
go, what the sanitary details must be.
The people have become used to such
control and direction. The city art
commission should have greater power
and should cooperate with the build
ing department and pass on all plans
for all buildings, private as well as
public.-Washington Star.

larly trying for many plants, especial

ENGINE TEASERS
HAVE POOR CARS
Certain Type of Drivers Cannot
Resist Temptation to Fool
With Carburetor.
GRIND VALVES WHEN NEEDED
Compound Must Be Carefully Wiped
Out at Finish, Otherwise Cylinder
Walls Will Be Worn Out
Plug Up Openings.

There is a certain type of motorcar
driver who, whenever the engine
doesn't perform properly, Immediately
begins to adjust the carburetor. An
other type files a dollars worth of
metal from the i%nterrupter points. And
still another wants to grind the valves
every other day.
These fellows are engine teasers
and no matter what is wrong with the
car they think adjusting the carbure-
tor, grinding the valves or filing the
lnterrupter points will make the en-
CINE well again. Consequently they
usually have n faulty car-because
they persist in teasing it constantly.
Don't Grind Valves.
Don't grind you valves-unti they
actually need 1t. Don't be forever
fussing with the engine. Don't mag
me that every little trouble has its
origin in the engine-it will get you
into trouble If you do.
l have seen cases where valves have
been ground so deep in the casting
that the seat was at the bottom of a
well" and when the valve was
pushed open there was very little
space for the passage of exhaust
gases, writes b. w. Cooke, president
of the Coyne Trade and Engineering
school, in an exchange. A little more
grinding would have worn through the
castings and left no seat at all.
If the valve sets in the cylinder
care should be taken to plug up all
openings leading to the cylinder so
that no grinding compound may work
inside. Also, the grinding compound
must be carefully wiped out at the fin
ish-otherwise 1t will keep on grind
ing and wear out the cylinder walls.
1t is well to check up the push rod
clearance before n after valve
grinding; before. because there may
not be enough clearance to allow the
valve to seat. thus causing the leak
which appears to make grinding nee
essary-afterward, because there may
be a slight lowering of the valve, MAX
ing adjustment necessary.
Grinding Is Harmful.
Before grinding make sure that the
valve needs it and do o grind any
more than is necessary. After you
have ground enough to give n tight
seat all further effort expended is
waste. In addition, it is harmful to
the engine.
Therefore grind your valves only
when they need it, but do not grind
them on general principles or longer
than to- make a perfect seat. And
don't be IN engine teaser.
