GIVES CARBURETOR 'TEST ON A There is _one certain test for the scua a e r o of ad ustm-n Y t of n car- buretor, ri Y buretor, Inti that is to try, the car on a hill, It has been adopted,by many carburotar experts as the most eatiefactorY guide, and it also he.pe to raveal,vtilvo and ignition troubles, t?oaect A hill aver which your car can amll, With eemparativo ease If it iia given the advantage of a fair start, bat start the «limb at as low a speed as:She car will run without strain or bucking, It should run down to live Miles an hour if it is a six. Now press the acceleratorall the way down to the floor, retarding the spark only if the engine labors seri- ously. A little clicking is normal for an engine under these conditions, and for the test: this will not harm the motor, If the engine immediately etarts'to buck 'atop the ear, coast back. to the etart and act the carburetor for a richer mixture. Then try it again. If the engine gets right down to business, and maintains the slow need without bucking or laboring unduly, the mix- ture was too lean previously. You. b are improved conditions, and you. art: justified in making the mixture a .1a. richer richer in order to sea whether it i • possible to make the engine pick up . when running it so slowly uphill. Before you do this, however, be sure to 'allow the engine to cool down a bit so that pre -Ignition dee to beat and-Qarbon will be `less troublesome daring the climb, If the engine pulls still better with the new adjustment you have found the right mixture. If the engine starts to buck when you are half way The oillcers and Hien, of the Drilla/I, Navy are known the world over ger �- m-•- the smart atilpemranec alld elect}linens, up the hill, or at odd, 'illogical mo- rdentsl the indications are that hie. vai"res or ignition Oen also stand a little attention,n. " BY USING SOAP AND ONION WE GOT HOME O.K. What is mere provoking -or dant geroue-than driving your car against a storm at night and with no means for wiping the wind -shield? Recently two of us completed a 600 -mile drive in an automobile, Just aa we started bonne a mist came on us which mon turned to driving rain. That was 6 o'clock in the evening. The driver was it chemist and at the firat piling station asked for a bar' of glycerin soap. He made some thick elide and swabbedoff the wind-slbie;d with the lather. That mysterious film of soap, though the rain soon washed away all visible traces, re- mained untilwe roaehe,d home at 9 o'clock the following forenoon. It was a good time to swap stories about keeping wind -shields clean. A (local authority declared that half an onion, when used as a swab, is also a 'mystic cleaner. On another short drive since, we tried that onion theory out and it worked, It seems that on- �ion contains picric acid -a chemical that acts much hate glycerin. So, if you are ever caught away from home in a storm (either rain or snow, remember that you can drive with safety, even though your car does not have an automatic wiper for the wind -shield, if you can get either some glycerin aoap or an onion. ,,In fact, it will be a good ' plan to stow an onion or a piece of soap under -the !rear seat right now for just such an emergency.-D.S. V. H. Natural Resources Bulletin. The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the. Department of the In- terior at Ottawa says:- "Like ays:"Like looking for a needle in a hay- stack' is an old saying and one that is very often used as an excuse or.a reason for lack of industry in dis- covery. If, however, the proverbial needle is of sufficient value to war- rant the time and expense in finding and recovering it, the industry is Bully justified. This situation confronts many of Canada's mineral industries. Gold mining is particularly so, because the gold content of the ore is so small 'that only by the most efficient meth- ods can it bo recovered at a cost to warrant development. Canada's largest gold mine, the Hollinger Consolidated, at Timmins, in Northern Ontario, in order to se- cur one ounce of gold, must handle 2.7 tans of ore. When it is retnember- eci that the gold occurs in small par- tie--S, ar- tir^3, it willbe appreciated how intri= the separation process must be. Leat year Hollinger Consolidated ptiaa.i' '1.,866,852 tons of ore, from whirl) vhill secured 602,680 fine ounces of gnid, or nearly 21 tons. In addi- tion, from this ere was. produced 86,- 058 dine ounces of silver. The gold was valued at $10,391,824, and the silt* r at $55,088. , The, land area of the Hollinger is 560 acres, yet be- neath this area there are more than 60 miles of underground workings, yvith electric locomotives hauling 'trains of trucks, and with rock crush- ers working 1,550 feet below the sur- face. There are 1,850 men employed by. this mine alone unerground. Even in gold mining the forest bears a large part, the mine props at Hollinger being brought from British Columbia, These are of Douglas fir, end' are 112 by 18 inches, this large. size being necessa'•y to support the enormous weight, When all this labor and expendi- ture isnecessaryin order that from 2.7 tons of ore but one ounce of goad may secured, truly gold is rightly classed as a precious metal.

But oh! my love and lady, Just two trees speak of her, They.are the swaying larch tree And the rough Scotch fir.
