suppose some one should say there
are animals living where the tempera-
ture is only few degrees below the

at glance, seem incredible, yet it is
perfectly true, for the larvae Of GER
tain species of fly thrive in the hot
springs of Cinta County, Wyo., whose
waters register only 20 degrees below

Man is very uncomfortable when
surrounded by q temperature of even
90 degrees, yet some of the lower ami
mails really enjoy the great heat of
$50 to l75 degrees Fahrenheit. In 1el-
lowStone Park a little insect known as
Salada has been seen running about
the edges of springs that were actual

insect called Nebria choose for their
homes the sides of the cones of boil
ing geysers.
Animals that enjoy high degree of
heat are not. however, confined to
Yellowstone Park, for in Gunnison
County, Colo, certain species of flies
have the habit of depositing their eggs
on the waters of hot springs with a
temperature of 157 degrees Fahren-

Valley, Calf, spiders and very small
browns worms thrive at a tempera
ture Of 1924 degrees Fahrenheit. An
other interesting example of the as
sociation of spiders with hot springs
is found in Algeria, where these in

Loose and Rusty Rims
Cause of Much Trouble

Loose, demountable rims cause a
lot of tire trouble, If not watched care
fully. When one of the wedges be-
comes loose, the rim starts working
and gradually the other wedges be-
come loose A creeping" rim is the
result and the valve stem bears the
whole strain until it is finally pulled
off.
Furthermore, those wedges are oft
en- frightened up unevenly. This ends
in what is referred to as a '1wobbly''
tire and the tread is worn down pre-
maturely. At other times, motorists
pound both the rim and the tire with
a hammer to get the rim off or on.
The pounding of the rim doesn't do
any particular harm, unless it bends
the rim, but every blow on the tire
may cause fabric break, and that is
very serious
Rusty rims are dangerous, because
they corrode tubes, make it hard to
change tires and sometimes result in
freezing on the tire. Rims should be
cleaned at least once every six months.
Ordinary paint sometimes placed on
the rims after the cleaning process is
not good practice, inasmuch as the
heat generated by the tires melts the
paint and the tire sticks to the rim.

SHORT SEASON FOR
FRESH ASPARAGUS
Enjoy Delicious Vegetable
While Supply Lasts.

prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture.)
The season for fresh asparagus is
relatively short, so 1t is good plan
to enjoy this delicious vegetable many
times and in many ways while the sup
ply lasts. Asparagus should always
be cooked as soon as possible after It
is cut. It toughens and loses flavor
very rapidly If allowed to stand.
To prepare it for cooking ttim Off
any tough ends, brush carefully, and
scrape off the larger scales. Wash so
as to remove all sand and particles OF
earth which may have lodged under
the scales. Fresh, tender, home
grown asparagus does not need the
vigorous scraping SO often given to
the mature stalks with tougher skins.
Asparagus may be cooked whole, or
cut up in inch lengths and boiled in
slightly sailed water. The cooking
time of fresh tender young stalks cut
up in this way may be only five to ten
minutes; at most, twenty or twenty

Lean MIXTURE is
CAUSE OF FIRES
Carburetor Gets Out Of Ad-
justment and Then Mis-
chief Is Done.

"How did your car take fire?" II
don't know ] heard it pop back at
the carburetol cad suddenly discoy-
cred that it was on hse" What made
1t backfire in the carburetor?" II
don't know. We can't find eout be-
cause the car is total loss"
This is no imaginary conversation
because cars have burned in the past
and will again in the future due to
backfiring in the carburetor.
Cause Is Lean Mixture.
The most frequent cause is lean
mixture. This means more air in the
mixture than usual The carburetor
gets out of adjustment in some way
and the mischief is done. A lean
mixture is slow-burning It burns all
during the power stroke, all during
the exhaust stroke, and it is still
burning when the inlet valve opens,
admitting the fresh mixture. This
takes fire and the flame runs back
to the carburetor. If there is any
gasoline dripping from the carburetor
heavy vapor is formed, extending
under the engine, where it is held by
the mud pan. The flame spreads I'M
der the engine and soon reaches the
tank, melting the connections and
releasing flood of gasoline.
Lean mixture may be due to de-
rangement of the carburetor or a
leaky inlet manifold Spray nozzle
too far closed, auxiliary air valve
or clogged fuel line are a few car
buretor causes. A leaky inlet mani
fold may be detected by running the
engine and injecting oil around the
joints. Oil will be sucked in at the
leak where the bolts must be tight
ened or a new gasket installed in
place of the leaky one.
Inlet Valve Defects.
We now come to troubles of the
inlet valve, which indeed are very
rare. The valve litter may be out OF
adjustment, leaving no clearance, or
actually pushing the valve off It's seat
If there is little or no clearance the
valve will hold compression when the
engine is cold, but will leak when the
engine warns up, due to Iengthening
of valve stem and, of course. pop
ping in the carburetor occurs immedi-
ately. Set the clearance at about two
thicknesses of newspaper. Occasion
ally this valve may become stuck, Sc
that it cannot close. This may be
seen from the outside, as there will
be an unusually large space between
the valve stem and litter.
Electrical troubles now engage our
attention With a single coil and
distributor system such as used on
the majority of cars there would be
some distributor trouble or a short
circuit of the distributor wires. See
that all wires are properly insulated
and wipe all dust from distributor
head If you know how to open the
distributor you should wipe out the
inside occasionally, using cloth
dipped in gasoline. This will remove
all accumulations of dust, which will
cause short circuit if allowed to re-
main.

High Value of Cabbage
as Source of Vitomines

Cabbage salad has many possibili-
ties. Either white, green or curly
cabbage may be used. Chop 1t fine,
and combine with a dressing made as
follows: Beat one-half pint of thick
whipping cream until stiff; add Az
tabIespoonfuls of lemon juice, 2 table
spoonfuls of fresh grated horseradish,
grating of onion, a few drops Of
tabasco, and salt to taste. These sea-
sonings may be changed according to
Individual preference. but be sure
there is enough dressing in proportion
to the cabbage. Just dash Of cay
enne pepper may be used If you do
not have tabasco. If the horseradish
is in vinegar use only 2 tablespoon
fuls of lemon. Half pint of cream
will make dressing enough for about
3 cupfuls of finely chopped cabbage,
which will serve six people.
This salad may be used alone on a
cabbage leaf or 1t may be served on
lettuce, or on either may be placed
a slice of pineapple and on that a
good thick covering of the cabbage
salad. A still more elaborate salad
may be prepared by adding grated
cheese to the pineapple-cabbage COM
bination. A very attractive way to
serve this cabbage, if 1t is made from
curly cabbage. is to hollow out the
head and use it as a bowl from which
the salad is served.
The value of cabbage as a source
of vitamines, especially when UNI
cooked, cannot be pointed out too
many times, according to the United
