WAYS TO STOP LEAKAGE
Three General Causes Given for
Carburetor Trouble.

When the carburetor leaks there are
three general causes: The connection
with the gas line at the bottom may be
loose, the float may not rise properly OF
the seat of the needle valve may have
dirt on it. Do not confuse real leakage
with the back-draining Of fuel which
condenses in the intake manifold when
warm motor cools off during parking
or when stored overnight.
Line leakage is merely matter Of
Tightening, although sometimes new
gaskets should be used. Trouble with
the float usually is traced to an air
leak. The float fills with gas and does
not rise high enough to shut of the
fuel when not needed. Dirt on the
needle valve seat may be quite trouble
some.
1t is worth while trying to grind it
out by turning the needle valve q little
under light pressure. If this does not
stop the leakage, then 1t will probably
be necessary to replace the valve and
its seat.

many have yet to learn is that these
all-wheel tires offer opportunities to
drive faster over wet roads, and to ac-
celerate and stop more quickly. That
is the sort of speed increase that
counts.
Outlines Advantages.
One of the rubber experts outlines
distinct advantages that these new tires
have over the ordinary balloon. The
most important of these is safety. The
old-fashioned blowout is out of the
question for the reason that these tires
carry air at so low pressure and so
much air that sudden defiatien through
puncture or a break in the carcass of
the tire is impossible.

do not desire to advocate complete re-

tory manner without disturbing the

Thomas Circle Needs.
5. Thomas Circle-The revamping of
Thomas Circle in accordance with plans
prepared by the Highway Department
has been urged by all who have studied
the project. Traffic conditions are intol-
erable; street car traflc is greatly de-
layed. In connection with this, the Capt.
tai Traction Co. has offered to rebuild
its tracks to conform. Recent advice from
the traction company to the effect that
its tracks must be rebuilt In any
event, make 1t imperative that Q deci-
sion be reached in this matter. Recon-
mend scheduling and revamping during
the working season Of 1888.
6. c street southwest, Seventh to
Ninth streets.-It is believed the widen
ing of this section of c street during
the working season of 1888 is highly de-
sirable. c street, with its narrow road
way. is the main connection between
Virginia avenue and Maryland avenue.
1t is a part of the main route between
the North and the South (U. S. Route
No. -. It can be widened on the south
side without tree removal. Our plans
in connection with street development
in the Southwest Government area make
this project Of particular importance.
The street plans call for the widening,
following completion of the buildings
now under construction, of D street
southwest, Fourteenth street to Mary
land avenue and Maryland avenue to
Ninth street and G street southwest,
Fourteenth street to Ninth street In
connection with @ street widening in
1888, We also advocate the necessary
changes on Ninth street. from Maryland
avenue to Virginia avenue, to promote
an easier flow of traffic.

27TAXES IMPOSED
ON AUTO AND USER
Much of Money Raised Held
Expended for Various
, Purposes.
BY CHARLES ID. HASTINGS,

Chairman OF the Board OF Hupp Motofs.
At the present time there are 27 diff
ferent kinds of taxes imposed on the
motor car and the user. For many
years. every time that the Government
the State, the county, or the town ~has
desired to raise money. the motorist has
always been looked over carefully as
possible source of revenue, and if it had
not been for the strong front of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce has presented in opposition to
many of the proposed taxes, there
would be an even greater number.
Credit to Industry.
That the automobile industry has
been healthy and virile enough to ex-
ist under this heavy burden is much
more of a credit to the industry than it
is te :he governmental bodies reSpon-
sible for the imposition of these heavy
burdens. For many years a sense OF
fairness and justice limited the use OF
funds collected from the automobilist
to expenditures which were for his
direct benefit, such as the building of
roads. This no longer is the case. The
money which is raised from an individ-
ual because he happens to own an auto
mobile no longer comes back in the
form of better roaGs or other improve
mentS which react to the mOtOrlst' S
benefit. Much of the money Is eX-
pended for purposes which are entirely
remote from any interest connected
with the automobile industry or the
automobile public.
It is no longer necessary to maintain
the road-huilding pace throughout the
country that we have had to set up
during the past 10 years. A great part
of the road system has been completed
and there no longer exists the necessity
for such tremendous appropriations as
have had to be made in the past in Or
der to give the country an adequate
highway system. Does it ever occur to
the legislators that since this is the
case it is no longer necessary to impose
such heavy taxes on the motoriSt? Ap-
parently it does not. We have in vari-
Gus sections of the country rather
time-Worn expression "the automobile
industry will lead us out of the de-
preston" 1t seems somewhat unrea-
sonable to expect the automobile in
dustry to lead the country into period
of prosperity, but still to load that in
dustry with no less than q individual
forms of taxes.

CLUTCH TESTING
Various Ways Provided to Find
Adjustment Need.

The clutch is one of those parts that
mystify many an owner because its in

ran become quite intimate with it
through its behavior. If the motor
seems to be running too fast in rela-
tion to the speed of the car. for ex-
ample, the clutch is likely slipping.
This question can be decided by plac-
ing the car in low gear and setting
the hand brake: II the clutch holds
the motor should stall the instant the
clutch is engaged. A dragging clutch
plate is indicated when the driver has
difficulty getting into any gear when
starting off.
A ringing noise in the clutch usual

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Experi-
enced operatives of the federal bu-
reau Of investigation, so the rumor
goes, are not pleased with their
new bedfellows, the federal prohi-
bition agents.
The bureau of investigation in
vestigators argue that the prohibi-
ton unit has fallen into such public
disrepute that it reflects discredit on
the older and more ethical" sleuths.
Many people with whom they have
dealings, they contend, are unable to
differentiate between dry shoppers
and agents engaged in other mis-
sions and, consequently, the diff
Guilty of gathering evidence is in
creased.
There are, however, people who
say that even the bureau of inveS-
tigation operatives aren't always
lily-white themselves in their meth
DDS of conducting Investigations.

of justice were fused in the govern
mental economy program.
