VACUUM SYSTEM
NOT UNDERSTOOD
Internal Repairs to Various
Parts Are Necessary for
Best Results.

<By ERWIN GREER. President Gree, Col
leEs Of Automotive Engineering. ChicasoD
One Of the modern and least under
stood parts of the car Is the vacuum
system. The average owner knows
nothing about its interior or how 1t
works.
The pipe running down the left of
the tank goes direct to the intake
manifold (when the vacuum tank is
attached to the dash). the pipe to the
right directly to the main tank. This
draws the gasoline from the main
tank. usually situated at the rear Of
the car. to the vacuum tank. The
pipe at the bottom of the tank feeds
the gasoline to the carburetor.
Repair Often Needed.
Internal repairs to the various parts
of the vacuum tank are now often
necessary. When the tank IL suspect
ed of causing any trouble, the fuel
must be drawn from 1t. II more than
One-hixth Of q quart comes ont. the
tank Is performing its functions prop

If the engine is run at low speed
with the throttle open for long time
the vacuum may be reduced so fast

condition may he produced by foreign
! matter choking the feed tube, from

for few minutes will give suction
enough to fill the tank.
In case the float valve sticks, caus-
ing an overflow Of gasoline from the
tank. the inner shell can be removed
by taking out eight screws in the top.
The tank may be filed with fue! and
used as an ordinary gravity system.

II the vacuum tank ever becomes

throttle and turning the engine over
few times. II the tank has been emp

AT the top and fiush It out about once
every three months. at the same time
drawing off any sediment or water
that may have collected at the bottom
OF the tank by opening the petcock at
the bottom.
Even then the vacuum tank will
sometimes fall to work properly. and
II the tank should happen to refuse
to function there is still way to get
home, even though you cannot find the
trouble. Remove the entire top OF the
vacuum tank. buy can of gasoline
and use 1t to fill the vacuum tank.
Then run the car on this supply.
When It is exhausted refill 1t again.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROoT

Thousands of women have kidney and

Repairs Responsible for
Additions to Scrap Heap

Amateur tire patching ruins thou
sands Of automobile tires each year.
1t is a common practice among auto
mobile owners when receiving a cut
or puncture in a tire to insert patch
on the inside of the casing at the
point OF injury, thinking that the dam
age is permanently repaired. Such a
repair will In time ruin any tire, says
one expert.
1t is good practice to apply patches
In such cases, but tire sleeve should
be placed on the outside Of the tire
opposite the patched portion at the
same time. The sleeve serves to bind
the tire, hold the torn and injured
parts Of the fabric in place and pre-
vent further chaflng and rupture.
The tire sleeve and patch are mere
ly ''frst-aid" appliances, and should be
removed at the earliest possible mo-
ment. 1t will pay motorists to drive
to the nearest repair man Immediately
after the injury occurs. II allowed to
run without repair, every time the
wheel makes q revolution the tire
quickens Its pace toward scrap heap.

REMOVING CANOPY
Working at King Tut's Tomb Today. Howard Carter Starts What is His Most Difficult Job.

By The Associated Press.
 Luxor, Egypt, Jan. 3.-Eoward Carter this morning begins one of the most difficult parts of the seasons work in dismantling the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen. namely the removal of the sixteen remaining sec tions of the immense outer canopy. Externally there are no signs of pegs or similar devices for holding the parts together but Mir. Carter, who so dexterously removed the three weighty sections of the roof, doubt less by this time has good idea of how best to tackle this difficult task.
 It would be no easy matter to take apart the different sections of the elaborately decorated sides of the canopy even in the unrestricted space of a laboratory. but in the narrow chamber where he is forced to work some three feet below the level of the antechamber in an atmosphere made oppressive by the constant glare of the lights, the work requires infinite endurance, patience and skill.
 Judging by the time taken in dis mantling the roof of the canopy, this process may require a week or more after which Mir. Carter will begin 10 take apart the second shrine.
 The local authorities have made great effort this year to improve the primitive road that winds its way from the Nile across a yerdant strip of land to the crowning fastnesses of the royal metropolis. To hazard the trip by automobile was something of q feat last year and at one time or another each of the three automo- piles Luxor boasted would stick in the l deep dust. This year, however, the road has been widened, especially | along the dike that borders the Nile | nearly dry-and parties Of road menders are daily engaged in | leveling the thoroughfare or sprink- ling the top layer with water so that | the sun will bake it to hard, even | surface.

PARIS FLOOD ALREADY

City Itself Suffering and Suburbs Are in Danger-Suhway is

By The Associated rress.
 Paris. Jan. 3.---The flood in the Seine is already assuming the propor- tions of q disaster.
 The river rose 15 inches in the 24 hours ended at noon today, adding to the considerable damage already done in the suburbs of Paris and along the river in the departments Of the Seine and Seine-et-Oise and causing the city itself to suffer seriously.
 Many buildings along both banks of the river. notably the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of finance have had their cellars flood ed. and today a small army of work men-masons and bricklayers-began walling up all the entrances to the champer of deputies and the for eign ministry in an effort 10 prevent further ingress of the waters.
 This afternoon the river was still rising fast and gaining steadily on the pumps being fcvcrishly worked 10 keep tho subways from being flood ed and the water from further en- croaching upon the important build ings along and near the river banks.
 The first fatality in the Paris region from the flood occurred to- day when an automobile attempting to cross the street along the river at Confans was carried into deep water by the cnrrent and the car and it's driver swept away.
 The first infiltration into the Paris subway system was reported this morning at the station near the chamber Of deputies, about 200 feet from the right bank of the river. The movement of trains along that line was delayed. but traffic was continu- ing this afternoon with the pumps working overtime in an attempt to keep the tube clear. The Quai DOT say and Invalides railway stations are Hooded and have been shut down.
 Workmen were busily engaged in plugging Up with masonry all the , sewer drain openings within q short 1 distance Of the river, the water hay ing invaded the sewer system and . causing an overflow from it into the streets.
