STOMACHS HEALED BY WAIL. Fond Shortage in Germany Improves Health of Nation. "Stomach trouble is now unknown in Germany," said George E. Eager, eleven years American Consul at Bar- men, Germany, who returned to New York recently on a two months' leave ' of absence. "Since the German has had to save food so carefully he no longer overeats. Most Germans have lost between fifteen and twenty pounds, and the whole nation is in far better health than before the war. Germany lacks only fats and woollens. ! b Will Build Cheap Cars, Automobile manufaeturers of Eu- rope are going to enter the field of low-priced cars at the close of the great war, and will manufacture cars to compete with successful American care, according to information which has been received in America from au- thoritative sources of the Old Country Manufacturing will be done in fac- tories which have been multiplied in size since the war started to enable the mat.afacturers of munitions in suf- ficient quantities. Many factories have been enlarged again and again, and some are employing five times as many men now as before, and have trained these men to the use of the latest and most modern machinery. It is believed that the European makers with low-priced labor will over -manufacture, and that an inva- sion of European cars will be again a feature of the American market. The makers of Europe will seek mar- kets all over the world, and the American manufacturers will have to battle for trade supremacy, according to an informant who said that it be- hooved the Americana to so establish their business in other countries as to ward off the activities of the Euro - peas. Many names of prominent auto- mobile makers, hitherto manufactur- ers only of the highest priced cars in the world, have been mentioned with the plans to burn out cheap and med- ium-priced automobiles in quantities. Those who have visited Europe of late tell of huge factories employing as many as 15,000 skilled mechanics who are at present working upon war munitions, but who at the close of the war will be turned to other work.! Automobile work naturally fits these, skilled men, and authorities believe; that over -production will be a natural;1 consequence, with the search for a world market to follow. One plant which gave 3,000 slcilled men work a efore the war in gear cutting now l e large as before the war. Other fac- tories have been enlarged several times, and look to the automobile fleld for business at the war's end. Marine motors, aeroplanes, tractors, and many other articles employing motors will be manufactured in large plants, as some of. the makers who formerly were in the automobile field have figured upon an over-productio of motor cars, and will try other line of manufacturing to employ their plants, NET'S FROM ENGLAND NEWS BY MAIL ABOUT ,lOII1i BULL AND HIS PEOPLE, Occurrences In the Land That ReIgn/ Nupreme to the Commere elal World.

An investigation of a large number of so-called battery complaints led to the discovery that more than 90 pe cent. of them were due to an impro per adjustment of the spark coil. The first thing the average operator does when his engine is not running righ is to adjust the vibrator screw on top of the coil, and then when no spark is produced at all he blames the bat- tery. A half turn on this adjusting screw will often increase the current required by the coil from one-third of an ampere to one and a half amperes. A poorly adjusted coil will cause (1) great reduction in the life of the bat- tery; (2) rapid wear of contact points; (3) unsatisfactory operation of the motor. Adjust the coil ac- cording to the following directions, and leave it alone and see that every one else does the same. First, remove the vibrator contact screw. Second, smooth the points of the screw and the platinum surface on the vibration spring with a piece of fine emery cloth. Third, adjust the vibrator springs so that the hammer or piece of iron on the end of the vib-' rater spring stands about ane -six- teenth of an inch from the end of the: coil. Fourth, turn in the contact screw until it just touches the plat num contact on the vibrator spring very lightly, start the engine, if it misses, tighten a very small amount at time. If there are several cylind- rs each with its own coil be sure you e- "Germany does not lack the neces- ! has 15,000 men, and the plant has been; are in the right one, until the motor t sities of life," said Mr. Eager.
