Where 1t is necessary to prime the

other convenient means at hand for
introducing the highest gasoline fntc

Breaking the Puddles.

1t has been known for q long time
that near the ends Of the intake
manifold, and sometimes just beyond
the point of connection with the car
buretor, there are pockets in which
puddles of liquid fuel collect when
an engine Is idling. Despite impor-
tant changes in carburetion this fault
Is still found in millions OF cars, and
therefore efforts are being made to
devise methods of breaking up the
puddles. One of the most effective
ways Of doing this is to tap a hole
In the manifold directly under the
place where puddle exists and then
attach a short tube in the shape of
an S. Because the end of the pipe
Is higher than the level OF the liquid
the gasoline cannot run out, but the
air sucked in breaks up the puddle
and improves carburetion.

KEEPING ENGINE WARM.
Close Front Of Radiator Before
Stopping Car.

In order to keep the engine as warm
as possible It is good plan to close
the front of the radiator before stop
ping the car and parking it. A little
he can figure on going with the radia-
tor front closed without risking over
heating the cooling system. Usually
the front can be closed with safety
several blocks before stopping.

STRANGER

A distinguished ~westerner, subject
to severe attacks of indigestion, was
travelling with his wife. Late one
night, in a Pullman. he was seized
with an attack. His wife slipped on
a kimona and hurried to the wash
room to prepare a mustard plaster.
She rushed back, hastily threw aside
the curtains, opened his pajamas and
applied the plaster securely before she
discovered it wasn't her husband, but
a strange man. She fled Mortified to
the RICH berth and told her husband,
who went into such fits of laughter
that his Indigestion was cured. If
they tried to take off the plaster they
would awaken the stranger. To avoid
a difficult situation, they decided just
to leave it on.
At 600 a. m. there was a terrific
roar from the strangers berth. "Por-
ter" he howled, "who the heck put a
porcupine in my bed?"

Stephens Tired
Of Just Talking
Will Fine Drivers Who ViO-
late Parking Ordinance,
He Declares.

Tired of the continued parade
of parkers who face him nightly
in the Police Court, Magistrate
William B. Stephens declared last
night that it would be a fine, in
stead of warnings, which would
be given those who appear before
him starting next week.
Police started to enforce the
ordinance which prohibits park
ing ON Main street and Washing
ton avenue for a period of over
30 minutes, last Monday. Since
that time % men have appeared
before the Recorder, received war
nings, and have been dismissed.
Instead of the numbers de-
creasing as the week wore to an
end, they increased. More than
a dozen drivers appeared before
the Magistrate last night. He has
expressed surprise at the increase
in parking violations.
"If we cannot break up park
ing by merely tagging machines
and releasing the owners with
warnings, I will start fining Mon
day.
CAT present we are releasing
them with warning, many peo-
pie not knowing that such a law
exists or that it is being enforced.
However, If motorists continue to
park on Main street, we will have
to break it up"
