neither the gold nor automobiles would
be confiscatcd. as the only offense
against the United States government
was importing goods without having
made a declaration. Mexico has an en-
barge on the expectation of gold. 1t
is reported the Mexican government
will take action in the case.
The arrest was made on suspicio and
upon investigation the cars were found
to contain the gold. Officers watching
for the smuggling of Z coin had not
expected TO see the gold brought across
on the International bridge, thinking
that it was being taken across the Rio
Grande at isolated places.
Collector Campbell said that smaller
amounts had been seized from time to
time, but this is the biggest capture
made. Although he said that gold was
being struggled out of the republic, yet
he said that he did not think that it
was on a wholesale plan.
The men will be charged with a mis-
demeanor in connection with the snug
Cling for not having declared the goods
to be brought into the United States.

SOLDER is OF GREAT VALUE
In Making Battery Connections Care
Should Be Taken That Metal
Doesn't Overflow.

When n wire carrying electric cur
rent Is to be attached to a terminal
or to another piece of wire, the com
mon practice is to make the connec-
tion, wrap it with tire tape and call
1t job. The connection serves very
well until corrosion of the parts sets
In. when resistance to passage of
the current is set up with increasing
ly detrimental results.
AS a matter of fact all connections
of this kind should be soldered as soon
as they are made. In soldering these
parts care should be taken to keep
the solder from flowing on any part OF
the wire except the terminal, as the
heat tends to make the wire brittle
and likely to break. In doing the
work hold the timed surface OF the
soldering iron close to the places
where the juncture is to be made
Hold the iron steadily in the one place
so that solder flows freely on the con-
nection. and, after completing the job,
test with the battery to see that the
current flows properly.

The one dollar bill for Instance, will

Lincoln, and the ten, Jackson. Cleve-
lands likeness will appear on the
twenty-dollar bills while for the fiftIes

General Grant and Benjamin Frank

The backs of the new bills will be
of the same general character as the
present gold notes, consisting of the
conventional scroll work panel with
lathe work border and not pictures
and thus the design Of any one denoml-
nation will become well known, wheth-
er it be United States note, silver
certificate or federal reserve note.
The whole design will be uniform,
and the difficulty of raising" bills to
higher denominations, Chief Moran Of
the secret service believes. will be
greatly increased.
AS for the unpopular two-dollar bill,
new design for 1t was not included
since Its discrimination is being con-
sidered. If 1t finally is decided to con-
tinue the bill a portrait of Thomas
Jefferson will be used.

DUTY OF EVERY CAR DRIVER
Keep Machine in Good Repute on
Streets and Highways, Says
Secretary Fred Galley.

Keeping the motor car in good re-
pute on the streets and highways, ac-
cordlng to Fred II. Galley, executive
secretary Of the National Motorists
association, is the duty of every own
er and the basis upon which the con-
tinued success Of the motor car as a
form of safe transportation depends.
Some motorists need to be educat-
ed to better understanding of their
responsibilities, and act upon the ad-
vice Of the more experienced" says
Mr.. Galley. "Our rules of safety reach
this class satisfactorily, but we must
treat the irresponsible motorist DIFF
ferently. Mere words. even the most
caustic phrases. do not reach him. A
more vigorous policy Is necessary.

DRIPPING FROM CRANK CASE
Trouble Has Its Source Usually at
Bolt Holes In Oil Pan or
Broken Gasket.

The dripping Of oil from the bottom
of the crank case or oil pan has its
source usually at bolt holes in the oil
pan, cracked or broken gasket be-
tween crank case and oil pan or either
one Of the two main end bearings.
Another source is from the valve tap
pets or plungers, which, If worn, will
ALLOW oil to seep to the motors exte-
rior. finally dripping Off the bottom of
the motor base. In attempting to REM
edy this dripping, first tighten the cap
screws which secure the oil pan to the
motor base. This usually corrects the
trouble.
