RIee in South Carolina.

II Is Interesting TO note that rice
production began in the South Caro-
lima colony as a result of an expert
mental sowing Of rice in the gov.
errors garden in Charleston In 1894.
During the Colonial period Of our his
tory The population was too smnr to
consume much OF the crop and the
greater part Of II was exported TO
England.
The crop became important in
Louisiana when IL was definitely de-
termined in 1887 that rice could be
grown probably on the prairles In the
southwestern part Of the state. These
tracts Of land are level, broken here
and there by sluggish streams from
which irrigation water can be OBJ
tanned. Organized irrigation com.
panics o ave added Impetus to the
riee-growing industry In that region.

TRACE TROUBLE TO IGNITION
Efficient Performances Call for Re-
moval and Cleaning Of Distributor
Head Monthly.

It has been stated that at least 50
per cent Of motor trouble can be traced
to ignition. For efficient performance,
the distributor head should be removed
and cleaned at least once every month
just unfasten the clip and rotate the
head until it can be lifted off. Inspect
the distributor head for cracks and re-
place it with a new n If any are
found. The only repairs that can be
made on a distributor are to tighten
loose connections and clean the inside.
AS the rotar is in direct contact with
the distributor points in some systems,
1t is a good plan to wipe these points
with a thin film of vaseline after they
have beer cleaned. The best method
Of cleaning is to briskly rub the points
with brass polish or the rubber on the
end Of a pencil. Emery cloth should
never be used.
Most distributors are equipped with
oil holes or fittings. and as the dis
tributor shaft revolves at a high rate
of speed 1t Is essential that you apply
oil In these recesses at definite inter.
walls.

Lost Aerolite Found.

The whereabouts of an a%erolite of
great size, which was revealed to the
Spanish conquerors by Indians about
the middle of the Seventeenth century,
and Of which traces have been lost
since the year 1912, have again been
ascertained, according to a commune
cation received by Prof. Clemente
Oneilla, an Argentine naturalist Of
Buenos Aires, from a Senior Leber-
thou, who claims the r~ediscovery Of
the ~aerolite, says an exchange. The
aerollte is located in the province Of
Santiago del Estero, in the unlnhab-
tied Otumpa pampa, which is also
known as "Sky pampa," after the ce-
lestial origin of the stone.
1t was about the middle Of the Sew
enteenth century that the Spaniards,
guided by the Vilelas Indians, discov-
cred the great meteoric mass, half
buried in the sands.
According TO certain analyses alleged
to have been made in 1872, the me
teorite was constituted of pure mete.
oric iron, nickel and cobalt.

Its popularity is merlted-the over

A great deal more gasoline is used in

WAYS OF GAINING WEIGHT
There Are Many, but There Must Be
a Systematic Observance of the
Rules Laid Down.

Plan to gain weight gradually; gain
in itself does not mean much unless
you have built up muscle and bone as
well as fat.
Get weighed regularly every week or
every two weeks and note your gair.
Sleep long hours and take short rest
periods at regular times during she
day; sleep, if possible, but ut least re-
lax thoroughly.
Avoid working t. the point of ex-
haustiOn.
Avoid excitement.
Take moderate exercises, of a kind
that will develop good posture and
deep breathing.
Discontinue excessive use of tea and
coffee.
Eat more cereal, bacon, cream, but
ter, salad oil and whole milk.
Eat vegetables and fruits literally.
Eat oranges and tomatoes plentI-
fully; they help to increase the appe-
tite.
Eat sweets moderately. and only at
meals. They tend to dull the appetite
for other food.
Observe all other reasonable health
rules.
If greatly underwelght, or If there is
difficulty in dlgesting hearty meals,
four somewhat lighter meals may be
taken at regular hours, in place OF
three meals a day.-Miss X. d. Wash,

BAD COMPRESSION Is
HUGE Thief OF FUEL
Faulty Running of Engine Wastes
Much Gasoline.

Thousands of gallons of gasoline are
wasted every day by motorists because
Of the inefficient operation of their
engines.
An important detail to watch to keep
the engine running efficiently is the
compression. A motor with faulty COM
preston may appear to run fairly well
when the a is being driven at a rea.
sonable speed or when it is working
hard. Lost compression shows up
when the car is being driven at a COM
paratively low speed.
Under either of these conditions the
engine will run with an %irregularity
that makes the car jerk or jump in
stead of running steadily. as 1t should.
This indicates that there is consider
able loss of power and that much more
gasoline has to be burned than when
the engine is developing its full power.
In fact, gasoline mileage may be cut
nearly in half through compression
loss and still the engine may continue
to run fairly well, according to the
ideas of an amateur driver.
If an engine is not running well and
Il compression loss Is suspected, the
simplest way to detect 1t is to use the
crank and turn the engine over by
hand, and thus feel the compression
on each individual cylinder.
You will nearly always find that
some pistons will go over compression
much more easily than others, and
this means that, somewhere there is a
leak in this cylinder.
The number of miles which a car
should run without having the valves
reground varies greatly, depending on
oiling and other engine conditions.
With the average car under normal
running conditions, however, 1t is prob
ably wise to have the valves ground
at least nee every 5000 to 10000
miles, depending on the operating con-
dition of the motor.

every one must have and they reflect,
constantly, whatever is new in styles
and fabrics, serving to usher In the
modes and lead In their development
through each season. There Is always
something new ut the waist shops.
For the present. overblouse styles
have almost put all others in total
eclipse. There are still some lingerie
waists presented, to be worn with the
classic coat-and-skirt suits. having n
belted waistline, but they play n small
part In the displays, which are given
over to variations of the overblouse.

The first instance of any overt act being perpetrated against any person who is now employed at the plant of the Manhasset Mfg. Co.,, despite the labor trouble. occurred last night when a rock was thrown through the dining room window of the home of Joseph Carroll, 2ie Providence street, causing considerable damage. Mir. Carroll reported the matter to the pos lice and they are making a thorough investigation. It is charged that some one of the men who is on strike threw the rock.
 It was just a few minutes before 10 o'clock last night that the stone went crashing through the window tearing large hole in the curtain and making dent in the door. Officers Gibney and Durand investigated the matter last evening, but found no one in the vicinity who knew anything concerning the happening.
 Striker. Hold Meeting
 The strikers held their regular daily meeting this morning and were ad dressed by Organizer Christian ant Organizer Hill. The strikers reassert ed their determination to maintain their resistance against returning tC work in the mill unless they receive the seven per cent increase in pay which they demanded and went or strike for four weeks ago Wednesday On the other hand the mill continue, to hire people to take the places oi the strikers. with the result that bet ter and better production is being ob tained in all departments. particularly the flat fabric weave room, where there were ii0 looms in operation this morning, according to officials oi the mill. This number represents { heavy percentage of the possible tota that could be operated.
