appeal which England is trying to
force into its stations.
It's the most sensible thing to
do for one who would make a
successor a gas station or hot-dog
stand these days. It's poor bust
ness to do otherwise.
Motorists naturally pick out the
attractive station to get their gas
For there's a feeling of distrust and
a sense of shame when we enter
of necessity, a station that has
just been thrown together.
1t isn't necessary to wait until
the engine knocks to tell whether
carbon is collecting at an excessive
rate.
The amount of SCOT on the spark
plugs tells the story This is just
another reason why plugs should
be inspected frequently.
In many engines carbonizing is
not uniform and the spark plug
test furnishes a handy check on
this. If the plugs of the center
cylinders are habitually sooty it l.
obvious that the mixture to these
cylinders is always richer than that
reaching the extremes. Some Of
the carbon that collects in the CEN
ter cylinders can be eliminated b.
putting a tablespoonful of kero-
sene into each when the engine Is
hot.

Leviathan Robbery UnsoIved

New York-The theft of 100000
from the registered mail carried to
England aboard the liner Leviatan re-

possibility in mind that the robbery

while the mails were at Southampton

Hitherto British officials apparently
had been proceeding in their inquiry

MOBILE RESCUED
FROM ICE FL0E
Reports That Amundsen Had
Been Communicated With
Are Later Disputed.

Kings Bay, Spitzbergen-A sec
ond member Of the crew of the i'll
fated Italia, Natalie ceecioni, whose
leg was broken when the dirigibIe
crashed upon the Ice foe, has been
rescued by airplanes but four
others and the crew of a wrecked
Swedish airpIane were still
marooned on an Ice cake, awaiting
succor.
Kings Bay, Spitzbergen-A Swedish
plane equipped with skis made land
ing Saturday near Mobiles camp on
the ice near Foyn island, feat which
the Italian rescue fliers here had
thought impossible. A little later the
plane took off with the injured leader,
leaving his five companions, Lieuten-
ant Alfredo Vignieri, Professor F. Be-
rounek, Giuseppe Biogi, Filippo Troi-
ann and Natalie Ceccioni still stranded
on the ice.
General Umberto Mobile is aboard
the base ship Citta di Milano at Virgo
bay, recovering from injuries sustain
ed when the dirigible Italia crashed
on the polar ice cap on May rs. He
has fractured shin and confusion
to his back.
The Swedish fiier, having brought
Mobile to safety, returned to the other
marooned men to take them off the
ice foe. There the plane made Sec
~ond landing but overturned in the
attempt. The pilot was not injured,
but apparently he was stranded with
the Italia survivors.
London-The Soviet stated that Ie-
ports that the Russian icebreaker
Krassin had signalled Road Amund-
sen, missing Norwegian explorer,
were unfounded. The Krassin has
reported nothing Of Amundsen as yet.
An earlier Exchange dispatch from
Paris had quoted the newspaper Lin
formation as publishing report from
Moscow that the icebreaker was in
communication with Amundsen and
his five companions missing in
French seaplane.
