First Aid to Engine Trouble. ,
Always remember when diagnos-
ing engine trouble that there are two I
essentials for the proper running of I
an engine: First, gasoline, and sec-
ond, spark. Always try to figure out
the possible cause of the trouble be-
fore starting to adjust something
that does not need adjusting.
Indicators—Warning Signals
Watch the ammeter am: on gauge
for any variation, as they are indi-
cators to give warning if anything is
wrong With the lubrication or igni-
tion systems or the generator. If •
the oil gauge shows a decrease in
pressure or the ammeter stands at
zero or discharge when the engine
is running, have the car attended to
immediately.
Rear -End Difficulties
Rear -end trouble is often traced to
faulty brakes and grabbing clutches.
A sudden start or stop will throw
a strain an the driving pinion and
raaster gear. When brakes are ap-
plied too suddenly going hown hill,
a jumping of the rear -end results.
If brakes are in good conattion, a
snubbing device is recommended.
To Detect Defective Battery
Moisture around the top of e bat-
tery and the battery container imli-
cates a crack in the insulation or
wax that seals the top or the sara
that contain acid. It should be at-
tended to at once, as the acid spills
out and is replaced with distilled
water which lowers the specific grav-
ity of the battery liquid and lessens
its power.
Getting Out of a Mud Hole
When trying to get a car out of a
mud hole, put the engine in low, go
slow, and drive straight ahead with-
out turning the steering wheel. If
the wheels start spinning, put on the
emergency brakes just enougn to
stop the spin. That will frequently
enable them to take hold. If it is
possible, get any old rope, board,
bushes, sacks, or even a quantity of
paper, and put it under the wheels
to help give traction. It is also ad-
vised to apply chains before tackling
wet or muddy roads.
To Correct Faulty Valve.
Valve trouble is often traced to
back pressure from the muffler. Ill
case of back pressure, remove the
muffler and clean the soot ana car-
bon from the plates or tubes or re-
move one of them. This will give
more power to the engine. A -slight
difference will be noticed :a the
noise from the exhaust.
Oil.
There are three things necossray
to prevent engine troubles and pre-
mature wear of a car:
1. Use only oil that is nationally
known as high-grade oil
2. Use only the correct grade ef
this oil for the car.
3. DraM and refill crankcase at
least every 1,000 miles.
Correct lubrication is one of the
most important items in the running
of the car. It always pays to buy
only good oil. It may cost a few
cents more per quarts but the saving
in repair bills will be many times
greater than any money ;3aved by
buying cheap oils.
Scored Cylinders.
The only practical way for scored
cylinders is reboring. Reboring or
enlarging the cylinders calls for
oversized pistons and rings to insure.
smooth and quiet operation and good
compression of the engine. Scoring
may not always be caused by lack
of lubrication of cylinders, It may
be due to foreign particles working
their way into • the oil and the to
the piston or ring surfaces and cyl-
inder walls where the cont.tant fric-
tion would wear scratches and
gioffees in those surfaces. Likewise
the cylinder oil may be of poor I
grade, with insufficient body; caus-
ing .additional friction and heat and
possible scoring. Quality of the oil
is just as important as quantity If
proper lubrication is desired.

When removing Caps and connect -

that the conneeting rod hewing raps
are placed with the oil folds facint::
iho direction in which the engine
runs. This ts important, especially
with an engine using splash lubrica-
tion, because the oil is forced into
these holes when the engine is run-
ning.
Kerosene makes the best cleanser
for muddy and greasy running
boarda, but the cleaning proccess
should be followed immediately with
a clean water wash. Kerosene, if
allowed to remain on the boardsr is
likely to affect their rubber or com-
position covering and render them
unlit for the working of standing up
under scraping feet.

Horrors of Simplified Spellings Dish-

Judging by the audience in the
revised spelling section of the O.B.A.
the great English literature as "she

mestere literature ought to be
thankful that there were no more
than nine interested enough to at-
tend (counting two reporters who
were entirely disinterested).
Here is how a breakfast menu

NEW COLLEGIATE BY-LAW
CARRIED AT CLINTON
Clinton, April 5.—The by-law to
expend $80,01)0 in erecting a new
collegiate betiding was carried by a
majority ot 110 the vote being 278
to 188. A similar by-law was de-
feated by 16 votes at the municipal
elections. Construction will be com-
menced this summer.
Exeter, April 8.—Owen Geiger, a
property owner of Exeter, but resi-
dent and reeve of Hensall, was the
vietor ip a peculiar law tangle, which
was argued in the Court of Appeal,
Toronto.
The action arose over the duty on
O carload of Ilex shipped to Cleve-
land, Ohio, Mr. Geiger had contract-.
ed to pay the duty and did so to the
C.N.R. when the shipment was made,
The railway company, however, did
not forward the dutypromptly and
the car arrived at Cleveland not
cleared. The consignees did not not-
ify Mr. Geiger of this, but attempt-
ed to get the Car clear themselves.
Meanwhile the tariff on flax tow in
the United States was increased
largely and they were forced to pay
upwards of $200 more duty to re-
lease the shipment.
For this they sued Mr. Geiger. Thr
ease was first heard it Exeter before
Judge Lewis, who gave his judgment
in favor of the defendant, Mr. Gei-
ger. The appeal was also decided in
his favor. F. C. Betts, of London,
acted for the plaintiff, and J. G.
Stanbury, of Exeter, for the defend-
ant.
PLAN THREE MILK AND

Stratford, April 8.—Milk and cow
testing centres will be established in
Perth County, at Stratford, Willow
yrove and' Atwood, M. C. McPhail,
district representative of the depart-
ment of agriculture, announced this
afternoon. All testing will be done
by the staffs of the dairy branch, in
cheese factories, creameries, at the
agricultural office, or special testing
stations.
According to the regulations laid
down by the provincial department
of agriculture, farmers to obtain the
benefit from the innovation, must

Birth of Sir John Franklin.
One hundred and forty years ago,
on the 16th April 1786, Sir John
Franklin, one of the most famous of
British explorers, and the discoverer
of the North West Passage, was
born.
He entered the Royal Navy as a
midshipman at the age of 14, and on
the 2nd April, 1801, was present at
the Battle of Copenhagen. Two
months later he sailed for Australia
with his cousin, Capt. Matthew Flin-
ders, and during the next twelve
months assisted that celebrated Wen -
Clic sailor in the exploration and
mapping of the coast -line of the is-
land continent. He then secured a
valuable training in mathematical
observation and surveying which was
destined to prove of great assistance
to him in his work of later years.
Then followed ten years of war sere
vire in different parts of the world,
including the Battle of Trafalgar in
1805, on which occasion he acted as
eignal officer on ILM.S. "Bellere-
phon."
In 1818 he had his first experienee
of Arctic exploration, when he was
given command of one of two ships
despatched by the government to
seek the North-West Passage, but
the expedition had to be abandoned
:n its early stages owing to the sec-
ond ship being badly damaged in the
pack ice of the Polar setts.
In the following year he was plac-
ed in command of a land expedition
in Canada for the purpone of map-
ping the northern coast -lino east of
the Coppermine River, This work
oneupied three years, and hie sere
viees wore rewarded with a captain -
ay arid election to the Royal Society.

which mapped the coast -lime to the
east and west of the Mackenzie Riv-
er. His work on these two expedi-
tions added 1,200 miles of coast -line
to the American continent, and' on
his second return he was showered
with honors, including a knighthood.
After a period of distinguished
service with the Mediterranean fleet,
he was appointed Governor of Tas-
mania, and his seven years of office
(1836-43) was notable for the great
sociable and political advancement
of the Colony.
In 1845 he undertook the com-
mand for the discovery of the North
West Passage, and sailed from Eng-
land on the 12th of May. His two
ships were last seen by a whaler on
the 26th of July,and then for many
years the fate of Franklin and his
men remained a mystery. During
the next ten years numerous expedi-
lions were despatched by the govern-
ment to search for the missing men
but without success, and when the
attempt was finally abandoned, the
work was continued by the efforts of
Lady Franklin, the explorer's second
wife. With all her available means
and subocrMtions from the public,
she equipped a little yacht, "The
Fox," which sailed in July, 1867,
undes the command of Capt. M'Clin-
tock whose exhaustive search was re-
warded with success: He traced the
course taken by Franklin and discov-
ered records left by members of the
ill-fated party, which clearly showed
that the gallant explorer and his men
had all perished from starvation and
exposuth after being compelled to
abandon their ships.
Among the records brought' back
by M'Clintock was a document which
proved that Franklin harl sailed to
within a few miles of know Amor'-
Jenny Lind's
Priggish Lover
4.
With Miss Frieda Hempel bnport-
ing crinolines lu order that else may
resemble Jenny Lind when singing
songs from Jenny Lind's repertoire,
we may take It that Jenny Lind's art
is in no danger or being forgotten.
It was a wonderful art, anti she her-
self was a wonderful woman, not in
the least like any of the other oper-
atic stars of her time. She was rather
plain, though she had fine grey eyes;
her appearance, when off the stage,
was more homely than elegant; and
It is quite possible that these limits, -
tions helped to conciliate those ser-
ious early Victorians. At all events,
she was "taken up" by Mrs. Grote—
the wife of the historian of Greece
and the great social "mixer" of the
period — and also by Mrs. Stanley,
the wife of the Bishop of Norwich
and the mother of the Dean of
Westminster. She gave them the
Impression of a young person whose
days were "linked each to each by
natural piety," says a writer in
T. P.'s Weekly.
"Every morning when she got up,
she told me," Mrs. Stanley reports,
"she thlt that her voice was a gift
from God, and that, perhaps, that
very clay might be the last of its
use," And' after she had been enter-
tained at the episcopal palace, Mrs.
Stanley wrote: "There is no one who
does not feel that it was au honor for
the bishop to have given her the pro-
tection of this house." It sounds
tether exaggerated oven for a Queen
of Song whom the public idolized be-
cause of her genius and a bishop
guarded because of her irreproach-
able morals. It prepares the reader
for the discovery that, in Jenny
Lind's case, the course of true love
did not always run quite smoothly,
in spite of the fact that the gentle-
man whose proposal of marriage she
accepted had principles and ideals as
high as hers, and in many respects
quite similar to them.
He was one Claudius Harris, a
captain In the In Ian army, and a
connexion by marriage of George
Grote's brother, Joseph Grote. She
met him in Joseph's house at New-
castle, where she stayed, accom-
panied by Mrs. George Grote, In the
course of a provincial tour. Her
first impression of him was that he
was "a dull young man"' but two
considerations caused her 'to change
her mind. Not only did this pilgrim
of love follow her to Edinburgh, to
Glasoow and to Dublin. It also trans-
pired that he and she had "religious
interests In common"; so we find her
writing to Mrs. Stanley: "r want a
support. I am quite alone, and Just
when I want help, the finger of God
.brings me this heart that can feel
with me about all works of charity,
just as I de. . We. are to be
married on the 7th of March."
But they were not. Jenny Lind
was intending to leave the stage,
wanting, as she told Mrs. Stanley, to
be "near trees, and water, and a
cathedral," and being sick to death
of the theatrical environment. Cap-
tain Harris desired her to leave the
stage. go far there was perfect har-
mony between them. But his objec-
tions to the theatre went a good deal
further than hers, He was under.
the influence of a mother for whom'
the stage was outside the pale of
religion, and who, as a strict adher-
ent of the straitest sect et the
Evangelicals, "detested acting, actors
and actresses." The question arose
whether Jenny should or should not
fulfil one last engagement to which
she was o,oratnitted, whether she
should or should not, by marriage
settlement, formally renounce her
right to appear in public without her
husband's consent. On these pleas
home was joined in the presence of
Mrs. Grote's friend, Nassau Senior,
O Master in Chancery, who had un-
dertaken to draw up the marriage
settlement. He called on Jenny at
her request, and she told him the
whole story, taking two hours to
tell' it.
She had been set *alma, she said,
by people who "think the theatre a
temple of Satan, and all the actors
priests of the Devil." They had call-
ed upon her, "not only to abandon
her profession but to be ashamed' of
It." They wanted her to "go down
to Bath among people who care for
nothing but clergymen and sermons."
She would not do that—she really
could not. Little as she liked the
theatre, nothing would induce her to
"seem to fly from it like a degrada-
tion," What did Mr. Nassau Senior
think about it? Nassau Senior was
a wise man as well as a good lawyer.
He strongly urged Jenny to fulfil the
engagement to which she had pledged
herself, and to insist upon retaining,
under the marriage settlement, her
right to make her own future en-
gagements to sing and to control the
disposition of her earnings, seeing
that, it Captain Harris objected, he
would infant* prove an unsatisfac-
tory husband. Captain Harris gave
way on the first point, but refused to
give way on the second, declaring
that it was "unscriptural" for a hus-
band to allow his vrife any such lib-
erty as Jenny demanded. So the
lovers parted.
There Wasn't One.
"Who was the first man?" asked
the vielting minister.
‘"Adam," the children answered In
&orig.
"Who was the first woman?"
"Eve," they all shouted.
"Who AMA the meekest matt?"
"Moses."
"Who was the meekest wemen?"
Everyone was silent. The children
kleked blankly at one another, but
none could answer, Finally a little
hand went u and the preacher said;
"Well, my 1541y, who was she?"
"There vrasn't any."
