Der 16 and continued through Sun

ings, unless a certain amount CT

How many motorists know that
there are sixteen ways or causes
OF overheating an engine? Set forth
briefly. they are: Radiator leaks,
broken water pumps. rotting OF the
rubber hose connections, choled
water passages, cylinder friction.
loose oil pipe connections, ciogsed
strainers, broken oil pumps, worn
tarded spark, improper timing, i'm
proper carburetor adjustment,
broken fan belts and clogged muf-
flers are some Of the more i'm
portant reasons for a heated motor,
and must be carefully guarded
against. .
Inasmuch as the. engine is GOV.
cred with q vault-like steel cover
ing, 1t was found to be impossible
for the motorist to ascertain when
engine trouble was imminent, Non
account of an overheated condition,
until the damage was done. This
accounts for the presence of the
heat indicator on the radiator cap
of most automobiles, and it has
been proven many times that If
the driver will keep h casual eye
on this instrument his motor trou-
bIes will disappear, for the heat
indicator is a sure prognosticator

Registration statistics on the

Sixty students are registered for

attendance at the University Summer
Camp situated in the Medicine Bow

as headquarters for field work in

IN 1924

The graphite industry in the United
States suffered a considerable set
back in 1924, according to a state
ment given u by the Department
of the Interior. as shown by figures
compiled by the Geological Survey
in cooperation with the State geolog-
ical surveys of Alabama and Michi-
gan. The output in 1924 was 4,971
short tons, valued at $S7,510, as COM
pared with 6,03S tons, valued at
$190944 in 1923. OF this output
amorphous graphite amounted to A.
OIL tons, a very slight increase as
compared with 1928, and crystalline
graphite amounted to 800 tons o.
100000 pounds, as compared with
1,9S2 tor ~(3,964,O00 pounds) in
1928, a decrease of So per cent. Dur
ing the World-War-both before and
during our participation in 1.-THE
graphite industry in the United States
flourished and reached it's highest
output and value. With the cessation
of hostilities the demand fell off, and
the sales decreased markedly in 1919.
In 1919, in line with the general
prosperity, the output increased. but
it fell off again and reached its
lowest output and value in many
years in 1921. In 1922 and 1923
the trend was upward and increases
were made. The manufacture of
artificial graphite at Niagara Falls,
n. Y, also decreased markedly in
1924, 10,9S6,192 pounds being man
ufactured, as compared with 1928.
when the output was 2~6,761,015
