You Auto Know

That if the car stops dead in
the road the first thing to do
after looking to see if there is
sufficient quantity of gas, oil and
water-iS to crank the engine,
taking care that the gears are in
neutral. If the engine turns over
hard, this indicates trouble with
either the lubricating or cooling
system. If it turns over fairly
easily, it is not necessary to
search for troubles along either
of these lines.
The next point to be taken into
consideration is that of compress
sion. This can be determined by
opening the petcOckS on all the
cylinders save one and turning
the crank two revolutions, not
ing if there is a resistance dur
ing one-fourth of the revolution
iii the two complete turns.
Each cylinder should be tested
in this manner and, if one is
very weak, the trouble will gen.
orally be found in the exhaust
valve, or in the inlet valve The
vacuum system leading from the
gasoline tank should next come
under suspicion and finally the
ignition system and the spark
plugs should be examined, re-
membering that, after all, the
trouble may lie in such "trifle"
as loose or wet wire or a speck
of dirt in the carburetor.

STEALS TO GET INTO JAIL
Twice Refused Lodging, Man Takes
Pencils ard Asks Arrest In
Goshen, N. Y.

Goshen, N. Y.-J. Ell. Guy, a prisoner
in the Orange county jail, stole two
pencils, according to the authorities,
to get into custody after he had been
refused lodging at two jails. Guy was
out of work and needed food and rest.
Guy asked Policeman David Clark
for a nights 1odging in the Goshen
Jail. Refused, he went to the Orange
county jail, only to be turned down
again. The authorities allege he left,
saying he would force them to care
for him, went to Conklin's coal Office,
forced an entrance, and violated the
law technically by taking only two
pencils.
Then, seeking a policeman, Guy said
he had broken the law, and demanded
he be arrested. He was held for the
grand jury.
Guy is the most contented prisoner

New York.-Were all the horses In
New York endowed with the genius
that characterizes Nero, who works
for Maurice Kelly, peddler, there
would be fewer motorcars about.
Detective Walter J. Coffey Is at
tached to the Oak Street station. Be-
cause he lives in Flatbush he employs
a f1ivver to ride to duty.
The other night he parked the fliv-

house. Right here Is where Nero,
peddler's horse, comes in. He was
parked a few minutes later directly
back Of the fivver.
Endowed with the identical passion
that prompted his namesake to burn
Rome, and propelled, perhaps, by q

whim to institute general war against
the machines that have all but put
him and his likes out of business,
Nero commenced to tear the leather
out of officer Coffey's car with his
teeth and to scatter upholstery amid
the snowf1akes.
This process continued until Nero
was spied from the window by Officer
Coffey. What Officer Coffey said to
Nero is not recorded. Neither is any
mention made of the speech which
Officer Coffey made to Peddler Kelly
when he arrived five minutes later.
In the course Of this harangue, how
ever, it became a matter of suspicion
to the detective that Kelly, who lives
at No. 918 Jefferson avenue, Brook
lyn, was plying his trade without a
license.
Here, indeed, was heart balm! OFF,
Ger Coffey handed Peddler Kelly a
summons. And as the two men mount

tory to altered parking arrangements,
a third dissertation delighted the ears
of the bystanders.
This one was addressed by Peddler
Kelly to his horse.

STOCKMEN Want
TEST OF new LAW
ATTACK ON REGULATION Is DE.
PLoRED BY RESOLUTION BY
CONVENTION.
SUPERVISE BUSINESS
STOCkMEN THINK GREAT BENE
FIT WILL FLOW FROM NEW
LEGISLATION.
western Newspaper Union News Service !

Colorado Springs, Colo.-By the
adoption of the report of its marketing
committee, presented at the American
National Live Stock Association con-
vention, the association went on rec
ord as favoring thorough test and
workout of the regulatory law for the
packing industry.
"At last we have in the market"
the report said, "an impartial arbiter
clothed with authority to supervise
and regulate the various agencies do
ing business there. If anything is
wrong it is his business to find out
and correct it. If nothing is wrong, he
should give the fact publicity so that
there may be confidence in the mar
keting and distributing end of the bus
mess.
''Even-handed justice is all that any
one can ask, and less we ought not TO
accept. From this legislation great
benefits should flow to all our people,
but they will not flow automatically.
All concerned should do everything
in their power to give the law fair
trial, but the producers at whose he
hest the legislation was passed, are
charged with the special responsible
ity of following up and Loyalty sup
porting the secretary of agriculture,
who is charged with the administra
tive responsibilities of making sure of
the maximum good results of the law.
son the other hand, producers have
a right to expect that provisions of the
law will be carried out in the full
spirit of the act and to the full extent
of the secretary's authority. He has
taken exactly the right course in ap-
preaching his task with an openness
of mind and with desire to be helpful
to all, which augurs we'll for the fu-
ture. His success Will depend largely
on the cooperation of the various ele-
ments of the live stock industry.
"Unfortunately for all, the commits
sion men and most of the traders ex-
changes have decided to fight the bill
on constitutional grounds. Considering
the fact that the producer pays all the
bills, and under the present system
the exchanges have all the say as to
what those bills shall be, it hardly is
becoming Of them to refuse to accept
the setting up of an impartial arbiter.
In doing so, they are going contrary
to the spirit of the times.
"On the other hand, the packers ap-
pear to have accepted the legislation
in a broad-minded fashion. They also
signify their willingness to join with
the other live stock interests in solv-
ing the problems of mutual concern.
Now that the question of legislation
is settled, the way appears to be
opened for the kind of cooperation
which is really worth while. To be
of any permanent value it must be
democratic and the benefits must be
shared equally by all the factors.
Heretofore cooperating for increas-
ing production has held the stage. Co
operation for establishing better mar
keting and distribution methods, in
creasing consumption with an equable
distribution of the benefits therefrom,
are of most Importance to the pro
ducer."

A Shocking Crime.

The assassination of Field Marshal
HENRY HUGHES WILSON is further
CHASTITY evidence of the malign spirit
which still haunts parts of Ireland.
1t was shocking and brutal murder.
1t was crime which not only will
not advance the interests of the Re-
publicans but may result in increas-
ing the horrors which have black
ened some storm swept northern dis
tricts these many months.
The killing Of WILSON is the cul-
minating atrocity in a political,
racial and religious war that has
been a succession of reprisals. Both
sides, Unionist and Republican, have
INDUCED in them. The worst Of the
war has been that most of the victims
have been innocent persons. A few
weeks ago the outer world shuddered
at the massacre OF the Mcmahon
family by Unionists. Now it is dis
mayed by the assassination OF one of
the great figures of the world war.
The general regret that the British
Empire must feel over the loss of one
of it's most distinguished soldiers will
be mingled with fear as to the conse-
quences of the act. The great mass Of
the Irish people of whatever party or
locality abhor such crimes. But it
is hard to imagine an atrocity better
calculated to inflame the wilder
spirits.

The Farmer Stays on the Job.

When the war inflated grain mar
ket came down with crash last
year the public prints the country
over. all the way from daily news
papers to agricultural monthlies,
were busy speculating over how
much the American farmer, espe-
cially the wheat farmer, would cut
his crops this year. Members of Con
gress and Cabinet officers saw the
country facing the problem of how t.,
find enough to eat. when the farme,
refused to raise his crops on tha
unfair and unworkable basis of get
ting too little for his products when
he went to sell them and paying too
much for his supplies when he went
to buy them.
Now the reports begin to come in
on the reasonably safe outlook for
1912 harvests and they do not show
that the American farmer has sulk51
and Stacked. He did reduce his cult
waited acreage from the war expan-
sion figures, but he reduced it only
about to normal. He put in all the
better licks on the reduced acreage
and he will contribute his full share
to national prosperity, as he always
does when he can.
Winter wheat production Is ey-
pected by the forecast of the United
States Department of Agriculture to
be in excess of 600,000,000 bushels.
This alone will be more than enough
to meet American consumption for a
whole year. Spring wheat is set
down at approximately quarter of
billion of bushels. This quantity
must be sold abroad If the expected
harvest of 1922 Is to be cleaned up.
The total of S55.O00,OO0 bushels
forecast for winter and spring wheat
together In fact is 60,000,000 bushels
more than the crop last year and
56, 900 900 bushels more than the five
year average of 1916-20.
The coal mines quit, mills and fac
tories shut down, grain elevators ease
off, harbor workers tie up water

the country get into the tolls Of

work. The American farmer stays

To Make Voting Attractive.

dent Advises.

To THE New YORK HERALD: In cleo
toral science there is an attractive
theory sometimes referred to as the
Overwhelming" to wit: that II all the
eligible citizens could be induced to reg
lister and vote the great total would ef-
fectually bury not only evil candidates
and measures but all possible frauds al
well. To this end compulsory voting
has been advocated by some others ad-
wise the doing away with irksome bal
Ioting restrictions. Voting should be a
pleasure, not a task"
Only a little over half Of the eligibles
In large cities are, as a rule, even reg
istered. Most everybody likes to vote. is
proud to vote. Then why don't the total
eligibles vote? The polling place Is the
trouble.
The success Of absentee voting by mall
In some States in spite Of its obstruc-
tive formula. may account for the late
squirt Of interest in entire elections by
mail. But it's real impetus will be found
in two very divergent sources: Cd wom-
ems dislike of the polling place; (2) ex-
asperated "wets" casting about for a
referendum medium.
A scientific mail system would make
voting a pleasant home affair, with no
loss Of work or time. weather Of no ac-
count, and election costs cut in half. II
Is safe to predict that by the attractive
mail system the total eligibles would be
glad to register and vote. 1t would en-
courage the good voter. while the bad
voter is bad by any system.
