BIG BIZ
Defies Governmental Au-
thOrity, Charges Former
Attorney General

Washington spirit of indif-
ference to law started in this country
when the great combinations of cap
ital defied the authority of govern
ment," said James H. Wilkerson, of
Chicago, former attorney general,
speaking before the American law in
stitute.
"This evil influence has spread out
on every hand and corrupted the at
titude of the people toward the
courts, the law and the government
ITSELF" Mr. Wilkerson said
''It is the task of the lawyers of
today to make amends for past
wrongs in their profession. 1t is for
them to lead the way in restoration of
respect for the law and of demand for
the administration of justice.
"The only foundation upon which
the administration of justice can be
built is the abiding conviction in the
minds of the people that their true
welfare is to be served, not by cir
cumventing the law as their whim or
interest may dictate, nor by tress-
passing upon the rights Of others
through quibbles, technicalities and
delays, but by the even-handed admin
istration of justice for ALL"
Attorney General Sargent, in the
course of his remarks, said:
eve must not treat the common
law as something mechanical which
can exist unaltered throughout all
time We shall fail, and we deserve
to fail, if we do not realize that law
must grow and must adapt itself to
the needs of our civilization.

LABOR INJUNCTION

1T is a fundamental principle of
our law" the assemblyman continued,
"that when equal rights clash, the law

ness in the way he chooses by compell-
ing his employees to do business in
the way they do not want to do.
II feel that government by judicial
discretion, which has been inaugur-
ated in this country in the last 80
years, is the worst type of tyranny.

Police Commissioner Is
Opposed to "Jay Walking

Police Commissioner Enright of New
York city declared that If the author
ity to regulate pedestrians as well as
vehicular traffic is obtained by the POI
lice department he will order the ar
rest and fining of ''jay-walkers." He
proposes to have pedestrians cross
streets at intersections only and at
the direction Of traffic officers.
In Baltimore Police Commissioner
Gather defends so-called ''jay-walk-
Ing" He says that crossing thorough
fares in the middle of the block has
the advantage for the pedestrian in
that he must only look two ways for
traffic. whereas if he crosses at inter
sections he must watch for vehicles
coming from four directions. Com
missioner Gather also declares that
when all pedestrians cross at intersec-
tons it creates an unnecessary con
gestion of foot traffic.

GETTING STARTED
IN COLD WEATHER
What to Do When Gas Does
Not Vaporize Readily;
Choker Trouble.

TBy ERWIN GREER. President Greer Col
lege Of Automotive Engineering, Chicago)
OF course the principal difficulty in
starting a car when 1t is cold is that
the gasoline does not vapOrize readily
and combine with air into combust-
ible mixture. Understanding this, do
not wear out the storage battery with
the starter or your patience with the
crank handle with fruitless endeavor
to start something. Use your head
instead of your arm. The car will start
easier, for neither headstrong nor
armstrong starters are worth while.
Open Choking Device.
AS soon as the engine starts 1t Is
very important that the choking de-
vice be opened partially, depending
upon the temperature until the engine
heats up, and then fully closed. 9th
erwise the excess of gasoline will
cause the engine to run sluggishly.
Indeed, it may load up the cylinders
with such q rich mixture that the en-
CINE may stop again. This in turn will
make it harder to start the engine
than before. Do not open the choker
again If the engine stops from this
cause. Get as much air in as pos
sible. while you crank the engine and
thus approximate correct mixture.
If the use of the choker device falls
to start the engine the only thing left
to do is to apply heat to the intake
manifold. You may pour little hot
water over the manifold. The intake
will get warm enough this way in a
little WHILE But a surer way is to
wrap a cloth about the manifold and
empty the teakettle slowly upon it. Elk
IRENE care must be taken not to get
any water on the high-tension lgni-
ton terminals or in the float cham
Der Of the carburetor Water will not
pass through the spray nozzle and a
tiny globule will stick there and hold
back the gasoline.
To Warm carburetor.
Practically all modern carburetors
have some sort of warming device to
heat the gasoline and air entering the
mixing chamber. Some get air from
a stove or hot-air furnace attached to
the exhaust pipe and some depend on
hot water from the cooling system.
Neither of these will get into action
however. until after the engine has
been running some time and will not
help the cold-morning troubles of the
owner. If there is hot water jacket
on the carburetor, persons who drain
the cooling system on cold nights will
aid starting materially If they fill the
radiator with hot water in the morn
ing just before 1t Is time to start the
engine. This warns the entire engine,
so that condensation is not likely to
occur.

Proper Care of Tires
Makes Them Last Longer

Tire manufa cturers have compiled
some very interesting figures regard
ing tires which have become unserv-
iceable prematurely. One manufac-
turer states the loss of tires ruined
before they become worn out through
carelessness on the part of owners
amounts to $1OO,OOO,OOO annually,
which loss could almost be entirely
eliminated. Another manufacturer
says that one out of every three tires
used is on a wheel out Of alignment
or one that is wabbly, causing the
tread to wear down quickly, due to
unnatural causes. Still another states
that of tires which do not give COM
plete satisfaction 80 per cent Of the
trouble is due to the fact that the
owners do not carry sufficient air
pressure and do not have small cuts
repaired on time.
Sunlight, heat, rain and cold are
elements destructive to the life of rub
ber-not so much while in service, but
that extra tire hanging on the rack
will suffer If not properly covered.
The rubber will crack.

Good Information About
Various Engine Knocks

Are you familiar with the different
knocks an engine makes so that you can
tell one from the other2 Engine
knocks fall naturally into four classes
spark, overheating. carbon and loose
or worn parts.
Spark knock is due to spark being
advanced too far, particularly when
going up a hill. The engine slows
down and the explosion comes before
dead center, causing knock. If spark
is retarded the knock disappears.
Oyerheating causes knock by firing
the gas before the piston reaches up
per dead center on the compression
stroke. The exploding gas expanding
meets the piston going up and makes
a knock. Overheating may be noted
by steam at radiator.
Carbon knock Is caused by red hot
carbon in cylinder head setting fire to
the mixture when the gas has been
compressed to certain point. Re-
move spark plug and look in cylin-
deys for presence of carbon.

Build Future Highways
to Take Care of Traffic

"It is natural that the change in
highways has not been able to keep
pace with the swift change in the
character of the traffic, but it is Inn
portant that road developments now
be carried forward rapidly to meet
present and future traffic conditions"
says an official of big automobile
concern.
Highways must be built to meet
the new conditions of automobile traf-
fic just as railroads have been built to
meet the conditions of fast rail traf-
&c.
"One-way thoroughfares with road
ways kept clear and view unobstruct-
ed, will go long way to solve the
present day problem of combining
speed and safety. Elimination of blind
curves, grade crossings and unguarded
crossroads also the clearing of road
ways Of pedestrians and parked or
stalled cars, must ultimately come"

Increased Traffic Calls
for Wider Paved Roads
A catechism for highway users:

A catechism for highway users:
Paved roads are necessary to carry
present-day traffic.
When roads are paved they increase
the traffic over them; road users nat
urally forsake dirt roads for the
paved highways.
Wider roads are absolutely neces-
sary to accommodate this increased
traffic; what may have been sufi-
cient width in the case of the dirt
road promptly becomes inadequate
when the pavement brings a steady
stream of motor vehicles.
The greater speeds possible on
paved highways make wider roads nee
essary for safety; rapid traffic on a
narrow, congested road is certain to
increase the number of accidents, re.
sulting in a great loss Of life and
property.
Evidence Of the truth of these state
ments is found in the fact that many
paved roads are now being widened,
even though 1t was thought at the
time they were built that they would
be adequate for many years. Road
statisticians often have found that al
most as soon as the concrete on a
road is ready for traffic, the number
of vehicles on the road has jumped
far beyond expectations. and widen
Ing of the road has been necessary in
a short time to prevent dangerous
congestion.

Lean Gas, Pop, Pop, and
Your Motor Goes Dead

On a bright snappy morning you
step on the starter and the motor
starts. runs for second, and stops,
You try 1t again, and it does better,
but when you feed little more gas,
pop, pop" and the motor dies.
That is caused by too lean q mix
ture. But you ask yourself why-why
does it "pop."
First you must form a mental pic
ture Of the four cycles or strokes Of a
piston, namely. the intake, compress
sion, power, and exhaust strokes: also
picture the valves, on the intake stroke,
as the piston goes down. The intake
valve opens, allowing the suction of
the piston to draw gas from the car
buretor into the cylinder; then the in
take valve closes, the exhaust valve
also remains closed, and the piston
starts up on compression stroke. When
1t reaches the top dead center or 10
degrees past. the spark occurs. and
the compressed gas explOdes and
drives the piston down on the power
stroke. The exhaust valve then opens
as the piston comes up. and forces the
burned gases out through the exhaust
valve, manifold, and out the muffier.
When the mixture is too lean there
still remains in the cylinder certain
quantities Of burning gases which can
not be forced out by the piston on ex-
haust stroke. Under this condition, as
the intake opens and the piston starts
down on the next intake stroke, the
burning gases, which still remain in the
cylinder, ignite the new intake charge,
and the flash is followed out the in
take valve to the intake manifold, then
to the carburetor, hence the pop"

HIGHWAY SAFETY is
OF BIG IMPORTANCE

The bureau Of public roads believes
that consideration of highway safety Is
Of the greatest Importance in view OF
the great increase in highway traffic
and highway accidents. A careful
study of existing conditions has led to
the following statements of basic prin-
ciples:
l. The development of safe roads by
elimination of all known dangers in so
far as such elimination is possible
within physical and economic limita-
lions.
2. Warning of uneliminated dangers
by means of easily recognized signs
and other devices of standardized form,
uniformly placed with respect to the
danger.
8. The development of safe vehicles
by perfection of running parts and
adoption of safety devices.
4. Diligence and care in the licens-
ing of drivers of motor vehicles to
eliminate the incompetent, careless and
irresponsible driver.
5. The development of simple, uni
form, and effectual traffic regulations
and the education Of the whole public
to complete acquaintance with them.
8. The rigid enforcement of traffic
regulations.
There Is little, doubt that solution
of the problem worked out on the basis
of these principles would have the
effect of reducing the dangers of the
open road to a minimum.

Caponizing Demonstrations
Show IS Cents Per Bird

Especial to Kennebec JournaD
Orono, April 29.-Results from 81
caponising demonstrations conduct
ed by the Agricultural Extension
Service Of the University of Maine
in cooperation with poultrymen in
Maine during the summer of 1924
showed labor return of 95 cents
per cockerel. These p demonstra-
tons involved 475 cockerels, the
most of which were late Matched.
The capon season coming as it does
between the last of November and
the first of March makes the practice
of caponizing especially applicable
to the late Matched cockerels. In
computing this labor return the
value of the cockerel at the time It
was caponized was determined, then
to this was added any expense for
feed or otherwise which was incur
red between the time of caponizing
and the time they were sold as
capons. The difference between this
figure and the amount that was re-
ceived as capons show the amount
received over what they were worth
as broilers. This amounted on an
average to 95 cents per cockerel
caponized. Similar demonstrations
conducted during 1923 showed an
average of 50 cents per cockerel ca
ponized.
