KEEP RECORD OF OIL
CONSUMPTION
To have the engine working at its
highest efficiency, it is a good plan
le keep a careful record of the oil
consumption. Ti; is found that an
excessive amount of en being used,
t is an indication that there is a
leak somewhere, which is expensive,
or that the engine is sucking the oil
up into the combustion space, which
of course, means a rapid, accumula-
tion of carbon, with all its attending
troubles.
CARS ACT QUEERLY IN
MOUNTAIN TRAVEL
A motorist usually fears all sorts
of trouble in his car while travelling
along at a good rate of speed over
high mountain roads. Engines; sud-
denly lose their power and the car
slow up perceptibly, with a tendency
for the engine to overheat. As sud-
denly as this condition comes on, it
ee
leaves' after a fe$' hundred yards
of travel. This condition is due to
"dead spots" on air pee -gets along
the road, wher 'some atmospheric
conditions cause h temporary but
drastic maladju eat of the mix-
ture in the cars retor.
TIRE WEAR eN GOOD ROADS
Motorists do lit realize that fast
starting and sto ing on the modern
hard surfaced mid is often more of
a wear on the ties than a "poor" or
softer road. Ey* .time a tire starts
turning on one f the present-day

tion between thehara road surface

nickel parts. Water is a great enemy
of nickel. Door handles and the in-
terior fixbures are better without
water: Most of them are usually sir -
ver -plated.
CHANGE GAS TO ELIMINATE
STICKY VALVES
Motorists whose engines are af-
flicted with sticky valves should con-
sider the possible advantage in
changing the grade of gas they have
been using. It has been found that
some gasoline leaves a gummy de-
posite that is especially hostile to
valves. One of the difficulties in
refining gasoline by the so-called
"cracking" process 'is the elimination
of the gummy substances. "Cracked"
gas is the kind that has revealed
greater anti -knock tendencies but
this does not mean that all antiknock
gas or all "cracked" gas causes valve
stickage. As a matter of fact, one
of the most popular gases actually
improves valve operation, and it is
well to remember that careless (ex-
cessive) use of the choke will make
any gas wash the valve stems dry
until they stick.
A thin coating of grease is best
to seal a cylinder -head gasket.
A section of an old tube makes
an excellent temporary blow-out
patch for a weak tire.
The proper size of a repair pit is
six feet long, three and a half feet
wide, and four end one-half feet
deep.
A bent driving shaft, misalign-
ment of wheels, loose top, and many
other things may make a wheel vib-
rate.
The glass of a windshield is ie
danger of breaking if it is not tightly
fastened on both sides, when swung
out. The crash will come when
running over a rough road.
In tightening wheel -bearing, it is
well to back off a quarter to half
turn after reaching the take-up
limit if this is not clone the resultant
binding may seriously damage the
bearings.

The prince, like his father, has a
scientific mind. King Victor, as Is
very well known, is a monarch of
many parts, and he has always en-.
couraged the prince in his twin bob-
bies — science and the army. The
prince is peobably the best -qualified
electrician of any of the European•
princes, having his own labaratnry
and working out iris own experi-
ments. These include X-ray experi-
ments, and often he and his father
spend whole mornings in the labora-
tory, so interested do they become.
The suecess'of obtaining an inter-
view with the Crown Prince, if this
interview is not of Stare importance,
depends on whether or not he is in
the middle of an experiment.

not unna orally indignant, and asked
the young man—of whose identity lie
had no idea—what he meant by
scorching like that. "You ought to be

up.
"What, in front of my own pal-

prince,
I don't care a button where i' is,"
continued the American, "so long as
it is done! Such men as you are a
public nuisance."
Some days later at a reception he
came face to face with the prince,
and, when he know who he, was, hard-

however, shook hands with hits kind-

Selection and
Preparation of •Grown
for .Exhibition
One of the main features to keep
in mind when getting ready for the
local fair is the proper selection and
preparation of grain for exhibition.1
't'ltere is nothing which detracts so
much from the appearance of a grain
exhibit and tends to keep the judge
from putting on the red ribbon as a
luck of some consideration to these
the component parts of any grain
exhibit is always to be desired and
this is rarely obtained without con-
siderable work in selection a"4 pre-
paration. -
The exhibitor who is anxious to
make a good showing should begin
to look over his fields early ir, the
season for suitable material, and
this applies particularly to sheaf ex-
hibits, For best results in preparing
sheaves it is better not to have the
grain exposed to rain or even heavy
dews.
At the Dominion 0xpertmental
Station, Kapuskasing, Ontario, it has
been found that an ordinary barn
floor with the doors open on both
sides makes an excellent place for
curing material from which to pre-
pare sheaves. In this way both the
straw and grain can be well cured
and the color still maintained.

Not an Apostle
of Peace
It is rather interesting to note 1
that Grand Admiral Alfred Von Tire

man high seas fleet, has become an
advocate of a good understanding
between Germany and the English
speaking nations, Great Britain and
United It new rose for

ed
the author of the ruthless submar
ine campaign to be taking this atti-
tude. He expresses the view that the
destruction of the German fleet *at
Scapa Flow will prevent Germany
from having any future as a Laval
power and removes the chief rause
of friction between Germany and
Britain. On the other hand, lie be-
lieves that there ere so many things
in common between Germany and
Britain. On the other hand, he be-
lieves that there are many things in
eontinon between German and Eire
land, and between Germany and the.
united States, that it ought to be
possible to inaugurate a new era of
peace and good will. Strange to
say he has not a very high osenion
instituted at Lorarno for the re-es-
tablishment of friendly relations be-
tween France anti Germany. He de-
clares that this is quite hopeless from
the beginning.
The expression of such views by
Admiral Tirpitz is particularly
,significant, and yet it is quite ie har-
mony with the democratic views of
the. new Germany. Without doubt a
great change has come over the
youth of ltopubliran Germany. The

The Hudson Bay Route
In a paper read before the Royal
Geographical Society an official of
the Hudson's Bay Company gave
some strieking figures as to the mil-
eage advantages of the Hudson Bay
route to Liverpool. One portion of
these will suffice here. Taking Sask-
atoon as a starting point, he gave the
distance by rail from that city to
Port Arthur as 1142 miles, and treat
Port Arthur to Liverpool by lake and
ocean steamer as 4071 miles. make
ing a total over the present route of
5213 miles. By tete Hudson Bay
route, from Saskatoon to Fort
Churchill, is 845 miles, and from
Churchill to Liverpool by c•cean
steamer 2946 making the total dist-
ance of the new route 3791 miles.
Canadians will soon know whether
the Hudson OT',ay route is to be a suc-
cess for grain and general freight.
though It might not be wise to build
definite conclusions on the expert
ences of one season. If the new route
is a success it will mean that the
way will be relieved of some of its
congestion. As the West expands, iL
is almost certain that the three
routes available when the Hudeou
Fray Railway is completed, 2'.11 all

there has been parallel construction

ing forces in the fight for a linked
trade, it has been the experience of
all new countries that increasini; •

sien of business.
At tbo '.n.t session of the Mani-
toba legislature a bill• was pat

It was the declared intention of the
promoters to proceed with construe -
tion on the expressed belief thee the
opening up of the new territory
through which their line would pass
would furnish all the trade that it
could carry.
Canada is apparently on the eve
of a new expansion of le -enemata,

cade, will add thousands of miles to

Our Flour Yield
I Frust at the time when crops fail-
ures in the Canadian West are caus-
I ing serious forebodings, figures issu-
ed by the Dominion Bureau of statis-
tics are decidedly encouraging. They
have to do with the flour yield it the
crop year which ended July 31 last.
According to these figure-, the
year set a new record for flour pro-
duction. Wheat ground totalled 94,-
795,316 bushels, an increase of 7,-
950,000 bushels over the preceding
year. The flour yield was 20,898;
252 barrels, which showed an in-
crease for the year of 1,982,863 bar-
; rels. The year's flour production ex-
ceeded that of the year 1923-21, the
former peak, when 20,845,000 bar-
rels were milled.
During the year just closed, 11,
808,775 barrels of flour was export-
ed an increase for the year o' 1,-

casional slim crops, but it is as yet

Coal in New Ontario
An announcement of consieeraible
interest to the people of Ontario has
been made by Premier Ferguson to
the effect that a huge coal field has
been definitely located on the Abiti-
bi river at Blacksmith Rapids, about
Unifies beyond the terminus of the
Temiskanting and Northern Ontario
Rahvay. If the discovery proves to
he substantial it. will be one of the
most important mining development
of Northern Ontario. For many years
it has been believed that coal existed
as a departure from the pre -Camb-
rian formation indicated. It is said
that the deposits which has beer to
rated is capable of produeine be-
tween 7,000,000 and 10.000,-
00 Ions of Brood grade lignite. This
will be suitable for pulverized fuel
for inclastries, or as briquettes for
domestic nos. Even if the coal serves
no other purpose than this, it will be
a substantial addition to the natural
resources of the province. However
three fact that this area has been de-
finitely located may possibly lead to
the dl ,'overy of other deposits in
similar form tions. Northern Ontario
is exceedingly rich in minerals of al -
meet every kind, hat this is the first
definite disrnvery of coal tha` has
been made. Ii is to be honed that it
will fulfill all expectations.
