May Have Practical Effect.

Warning was sounded by the board
of temperance, prohibition and public
morals of the Methodist Episcopal
Church last night that drys should be
on the guard against State move
ments intended to handicap the en-
forcement of prohibition"
"Prohibitionists have no expectation
of winning referendum elections in
those States where action taken at
the ballot box has no legal effect"
said a statement from the board.
1T is impossible to interest dry con-
stituents in such polls, as they are
looked upon as intended only to serve
wet propaganda" the real question
being involved in the election of dry
Representatives and Senators to Con
gress. 1t is feared that confusion will
lead to participation by drys in
some referenda which will have a
practical effect"
Based on primaries to-date, the
board estimates that the forthcoming
Congress will almost certainly be dry
in just about the same proportion as
the present Congress-"

SHIP FIGHTS STORM
OFF VIRGINIA COAST
Norwegian Freighter Given Aid
After Steering Gear and Anchors
Are Swept Away.

Ky the Associated PRESS.
NORFOLK. Va, August PA
northeast gale that reached a velocity
of 81 miles an hour swept the Nlr-
ginia coast Yesterday shortly after
daybreak sending shipping scurrylng
to cover, battering beach resorts and
doing considerable damage inland.
Despite the strength of the wind
and the rough seas only one distress
call was picked up at sea by wireless
stations here. This came from the
Norwegian steamer ModiG. off Hog

gear had been carried away as web
as both anchors. and that the ship
was wallowing helplessly in the trough
of the seas with prospects of being
driven ashore.
Coast Guard headquarters here dis

O'Clock the Manning and Mascoutin
had succeeded in getting new lines
aboard the freighter, the former at
the bow and the latter at the stern.
Thus. with the Manning towing and
the Mascoutin performing the difficult
task of steering by means of only a
stern line. it was hoped to get the
steamer inside the Virginia capes
without further difficulty. The storm
moderated considerably last night

WATCH COOLING
Of ENGINE

When an automobile or motor
truck engine is being operated. the
burning Of the gas mixture gener-
ates intense heat within the cylinder
block. This heat would cause great
damage TO the engine unless it was
carried away from the different
parts which are subject to it.
There are two prevailing systems
used to accomplish this result: One.
by having water circulating around
the heated parts; and the other, by
forcing q strong current OF air over
the engine.
In the first system two methods
are used: First. "Thermo- Syphon,
which uses a natural law to cause
circulation through the water
Jackets in the cylinder block and
through the radiator. When the
water around the cylinders be-
comes hot. it rises and flows from
the top Of the engine into the
radiator and, at the same time,
allows the cool water to flow from
the bottom Of the radiator to take
its place in the cylinder block.
In the second method. a pump
driven by the engine. circulates
water throughout the entire cooling
system.
To achieve the best functioning
or your radiator. clear water rather
than dirty water must be used;
when the water becomes dirty or
rusty-colored. allow it to drain out.
Then fill up with clear water; start
the engine and run it slowly; open
the radiator petcock and allow just
enough water to run in from the
hose to keep the raditor full. When
the water runs clear from the
radiator petcock. shut the petcock
and remove the water hose.
