My car hood beats mysteriously. It will, run from 90 to 200 miles without trouble and the water will boil. There are no leaks in the cooling sys- tenn. Several repairmen have tried to find the trouble.-J. E. U.
 It is almost certain that your trouble is due to slight reduction in the speed with which your water circulates, and this may be due to dirt in the radiator, in the water jackets, or to loose pieces of rubber in the inside of the hose con- nections. A really thorough examina- ton should show the cause.

sion are in good condition as you say, your gear shifting trouble is probably due to pushing the clutch pedal out the wrong distance. Try it at various po- sitions from all the way out to half way out. l
 The starter on my Ford cranks the engine very slowly when starting up in the morning, although 1t works satis- faetorily during the rest of the day. W. B. N.
 The slow cranking is probably due to extra friction in the cluch plates caused by cool nights which render the oil in the engine thicker. The remedy is to leave the hand brake off when putting the car up for the night, since this allows the cluch to remain in en- gagement and prevents the thick oil from flowing in between the plates.

disturbances, to guarantee a continuous service every minute of the 24 hours;
 Fourth, that the greater range of wave-lengths available will permit a larger number of stations to be installed without any danger of their interfering with each other.
 "The result of these four factors working together he said, will certainly lead to the scrapping in the near fu- ture of all the high-power stations at present in existence and the substitution of small, cheap stations doing great CT amount of work better and at small cost. This, in it's turn, will lead to a notable reduction in the rates now charged for commercial wireless mes sage, he said.
 Senator Marconia reminded his au- dience that in lecture he delivered in the same hall in1903, immediately after having established the fact of wireless communication, he said that communi- cation between the most distant parts of the globe would soon be possible. He added that this, at 21 years distance, was now accomplished and that short wave-lengths would in the future per init these communications to be main tained more regularly, more easily, more efficiently and at lower cost.
 "In support of his contentious Sena- tor Marconi described the results of somesof his recent experiments.
 At first 12 kilowatts were used at the sending station of Poldku, England, the signals were picked up by Marconi on his watch Elettra at distance of 1000 kilometers.
 The signals were so strong that they drowned out all station charges and atmospheric disturbances, and the re suits thus obtained were far superior to those which could be obtained with two hundred kilowatts on the ordinary sys- tenn.
 The power at the sending station was then reduced to the one kilowatt, and this was found amply sufficient to maintain regular service between two points, at 1000 kilometers' distance.
 With a wave length of 90 meters,

WOMEN OWN RACERS
In England Their COIOrs Frequently
 Come In First

Come In First
 Women racehorse owners, if not yet so numerous as the men, are at any rate becoming a factor to be reckoned with in the racing of today. The mum. Der of successful women owners has enormously increased this season.
 Nowadays every woman who can af- ford to do so wants to keep racehOrse, and therefore most of them do SO and it is extraordinary how successful some of them are. It was far different in the old days when women owners did their racing by stealth, concealing their identity under q pseudonym such as MT. Jersey" which was the name under which Lady de Bathe, then Mrs. Langtry first registered her racing colors. Even today the more timid of the women owners still diguise their interest in the sport of kings by racing their horses in the colOrs and name of their trainer.
 Perhaps the most extraordinary ex- ample of a woman owners luck this summer was the sensational victory of Dinkie in the Royal Hunt cup at As cot. Dinkie beat the kings horse, Weathervane, by a neck, although a rank outsider, the betting being 90 to l against Mrs. Jeffrey's horse.
 The leading woman owner for the last three or four seasons in Great Britain is Mrs. Sofer Whitburn, who was among the first 12 winning own CTS last year, winning nearly S.ooO pounds in stakes, with only eight horses; so her turf investments can hardly be called unlucky ones, especial lg as she is doing even better this sea con. Her most successful horses have been Chivalrous, Drake-who won the Coventry stakes at Ascot and the Champagne stakes at Doncaster two years agO-and PrOconsul. Mrs. Whit burn is a very keen sportswOman in every way and one of the best riders to hounds in the shires.
 One of the latest women owners jS Lady Curzon, the wife of the forme' foreign secretary, who only registered her coIors-pink and brown halved jacket and cap-in May and registered her first win at York in the same month with Swanage, a horse which she had only purchased two or three weeks before. She is the first wife of an cX- cabinet minister to take an active in- terest in the turf.
 Mrs. Rudd. whose horse. Marvex, won the Fiber handicap at York. is the wife of a rich American commercial magnate, who races because she loves horses and caa afford to satisfy her ' desire.-Cayendish Hope in the COnti- mental Edition of the London Mail.

Two Cars in One-

CTUDEBAKER Duplex-a closed O and open car combined. An en- tirely neW-type car-developed by Studebaker and available from no other maker.
 It is the most sensational - most taIked-of car in America.
 One minute you are enjoying the comfort and protection of a closed car next the unhindered freedom that made the open car SO popular. And the change can be made in 30 seconds by simply lowering the roller side enclosures.
 Yet with all this two-fo1d con- venience, the Duplex-Phaeton sells for no more than an open car.

he said, two or three kilowatts could be quite sufficient to communicate regu- larly across the Atlantic ocean.
 Unexplained Curiosity
 "His most notable achievement, he stated, was the experiment Ee per formed on May 30 of this year. Using only 2S kilowatts, the human voice broadcast at Poldhu was picked up in Sidney, Australia. He confessed that it was a surprise even to himself to re- ceive the report from. the manager of the Australian Wireless company and that the message was clear, loud and uniform, in spite of the fact that the uniform, in spite of the fact that the receiving apparatus was improved and of the most simple description. "The fact that under these adverse condi- tions twenty-eight kiilowats were able to span the greatest possible distance on the globe, he said, was of first-rate importance.
 Among the unexplained curiosities of wireless phenomena Marconi men toned the fact that free wireless waves, if sent from poldhu, England, in the morning, reach Australia via the At lantic and Pacific oceans, covering in all distance of 22,000 kilometers, while if they are sent in the afternoon or evening they travel over Europe and Asia and cover a distance of only 17,OO0 kilometers.
 "No adequate explanation of the diff ferent behavior of waves in the m0rn- ing and afternoon has been found.
 Senator Marconi also announced his discovery that the intensity of wireless signals varies with the mean height of the sun over the region between the sending and receiving stations. What effect that sun has on the wireless waves is also still wrapped in mys- tery," he concluded.

 The Big Six Duplex Phaeton is de- ivered to you with complete equip ment. This even includes two highest grade bumpers, extra balloon tire, tube and tire cover-there is nothing else to buy.
 But to appreciate this car you must inspect it-drive it. Test its delightful ease of operation-steering mechanism especially designed for its full-sized balloon tires.

The city of New York has placed an. other large order for motor trucks with the White company, bringing the total of the city's White truck fleet up to 705, said to be the largest fleet of trucks of one make in municipal service. The, contract just awarded by New York calls for Q White heavy duty units with power dumping bodies. The trucks will be used by the street cleaning de- pertinent.
 New York has invested heavily in mo. tor equipment within recent years, the present order recalling the purchase of PIP White five-ton trucks in 1920 and subsequent purchases in lots ranging from 10 to 135.
