Famous Chinese Arsenal
May Become Auto Factory

SHANGHAI. April 6. Tired of
armed conflict. and realizing that
men cannot fight without rifles, re-
volyers and ammunition, Shanghai
has welcomed project to turn the
Kiangnan Arsenal into motor car
factory. Deprived of this local source
of weapons, warning factions may be-
come more peaceful, it is argued.
The arsenal was built some so
years ago, near Shanghai, and for
half century it has been the OBJ
jective of much strife and many war
like clashes.
Recent orders from Peking said
the arms making machinery in the
arsenal should be removed from the
Shanghai district, possibly to Nan
king, and that the buildings be then
turned over to the Shanghai Cham
ber of Commerce for commercial
uses. Thereafter came the proposal
that Chinas first automobile factory
be inaugurated in the old arsenal,
and Canton capitalists have the mat
ter under favorable consideration.

More adequate Territorial aid for

IL some measure of relief would be
afforded towns in which the larger
schools are maintained.
The bill provides that so per cent
of the total amount expended for such
schools shall be refunded to the
school fund of incorporated towns. A
further provision Is made, however,

What he should have done was to

short spin in their cars and noted
how they feed gas when startin' to

gas too quickly and, of course, they

Remedies to Remember. 2

Dirt in the needle valve of the car
buretor is likely to cause uneven run
ming and an incorrect mixture. When
you think that something like this is
happening under the hood, simply
pull the choker all the way out for
an instant. This blocks off the air
to the carburetor and enables the pis-
tons to suck quantity of fuel
through the needle valve. 1t may
serve TO remove the obstructing dirt
particles. Be sure, however, to keep
the engine running after the remedy
has been applied. otherwise the raw
gas sucked into the cylinders Is likely
to cause crankcase dilution.
Not all brake systems can be ad-
justed so that the rear wheels will
stop equally when pressure is applied
to the brake pedal. This, of course,
means skidding, or at least the tend
ency to skid. In addition to the RENE
dies which can be applied through
skillful driving, however, 1t is well
to remember to use the tire with the
toughest tread on the wheel that
stops quickest. Good traction can
offset much inequality in adjustment.
