If the ignition timing is disar- ranged you cannot expect the motor to start. Would advise checking up the valve and spark timing very care- | fully. You can determine the order 'of firing of the cyli rs by observ- ing the order in which either the in- exhaust valves operate. With the spark lever retarded the spark should be delivered to the plug when piston is at top center of compression | or slightly after. With the order of ring and timing correct your motor hould start.

By using lead on the threads of the plug the leak | will be stopped. After filing level with the casting and retouching with cylinder paint the repair will hardly be noticed. If, however, there is a crack extending from the leak. it would be advisable to have same welded, even though it be more ex- pensive. E. Motoring Department, The Herald: How can 1 determine whether 1 need new pistons or not for my motor? It is a 1911 type and I am told that the cylinders need reboring and new pis- tons and rings fitted. It is being taken down now and I don’t want it put together without haying it right What clearance is given the pistons in the cylinders?—L. C. You should caliper the cylinders and pistons in order to ascertain if they are true. If they are not true the cylinders should be rebored. When this is done new pistons and rings are necessdry to complete the work properly. The. clearance at the tob of the piston is usually two-thou- sandths of an inch to each inch of cylinder hore. At the bottom of the | piston it is about one-quarter as much. Motoring Department, The Herald: What is the best way to strengthen a pair of springs?

New Haven, August 4.—The lease of Lefty Smith of the local club marks the passing of an eccentric player of whom it was hard to tell whether he got more fun out of the game kidding his way along or letting a lot of fans believe they were kidding him. A few days ago Lefty said: “I know I'm punk and can't pitch a lick. I haven't been able to set in shape and the few times I've been near shape I couldn't stay.

At a meeting of the United German societies held last Friday evening in Maennechor hall in New York, Dr, Frnest D, Richard, of Columbia, who made an address in New Britain German Day, denounced the stand taken by the New York newspapers in the present Austrian-Servia crisis, seying that their prejudice against the Austrians and Germans was due 10 the fact that they secured their news from London sources. In his preamble, Dr. Richard de- clared that there was no “Big- Brother” interference needed in the present crisis, Austria he said, de- manded that the murderers of a crown prince and his consort be tried by others than the actual perpetrators of the crime. The assassins should |not try themselves, he shouted, and that was the sum and substance of Austria’s claim. “Is it to be a Slav or Anglo-Saxon rvle for Europe?” was Dr. Richard's query. Twelve million Germans in this country, he said, were looking for a fair deal from American papers. “Not until Russia puts her nose where it doesn't belong,” said Dr. Richard, will Germany iInterfere, but then she will interfere in a manner which will leave unanswered no ques- tion of her strength.” Ponce de Leon Failed; * His Prize is Found Ponce de Leon, the daring explorer, searched among the swamps of Florida for the Fountain of Youth, which the Indians said would restore power and make people young.

INE huge exhibit palaces have been com- pleted at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco. Altogether o there will be thirteen main structures on the Exposition grounds, and an Auditorium to seat 12,000 persons and to cost more than $1,800,000, is under censtruction at the civic center of the city. The result of the work fulfills every expecta- tion of the commission of famous architects to whom was entrusted the exposition design. To Blend and fit in with the impressive natural sur- roundings of the site at Harbor View, the great hills that encircle the grounds on the south, east and west, the harbor on the north, with its islands, and beyond the Golden Gate, it was planned to produce a single superb architectural design, and the plan has been carried out. The Exposition grounds} which face the harbor for almost three miles, are occupied by three great groups of buildings. In the center are the exhibit palaces; upon the east is the amusement section, and on the west and nearest the Golden Gate is the section devoted to the pavilions of the thirty-six nations that are to take part and of the states. From the heights of Belvidere, four miles across “Ban Francisco barbor, the vast copper-green domes of the main palaces, rising as high as the average twelve-story city block, are seen to reach more than half way to the first rims of the great en- circling hills at Harbor View. Glints of gold and jade and sapphire are splashed over the buildings in brilliant, riotous colors that, in the distance, melt together in a vast mosaic. 1In the center group eight of the exhibit palaces are joined in a rectangle. Four of the buildings face upon a 400 feet wide esplanade upon San Francisco harbor and four face the South Gardens between the main group of buildings and the Ex- position boundaries. The four buildings facing the harbor from east to west are the palaces of HUGE EXHIBIT PALA D INSTALLATION Mines and Metallurgy, Transportation, Agricul- ture and Food Products. To the south, completing the group, are the palaces of Varied Industries, Manufactures, Liberal Arts and Education. The buildings are identical in height. Their architec- ture as seen from afar is also similar, and it is only when one gets close at hand and within the courts that the divergences are are apparent. . The dimensions and costs of the eight build- ings are: Size, Floor Space, Linear Ft. Sq. Ft. 451x579 252,000 579x614 814,000 579x689 828,633 424x579 286,690 414x541 219,000 4753552 2345000 475x585 251,500 344,180 894x526 205,100 425.610 Flanking this group of eight structures upon the east is the Palace of Machinery, costing more than $600,000. This was the first of the Exposi- tion palaces to be completed. Its interior arrange- ment consists of three north and south aisles. each 136 feet in height and 76 feet in width, extending the entire length of the building, 967.8 fest. Three transverse aisles. each 126 feet long and 75 feet wide, run east and west through the center, inter- secting the north and south aisles. Flanking the group upon the west is the Palace of Fine Arts, which is separated from the groups by a lagoon which it partly envelops and which is bordered by flowers, shrubbery and trees, giving the effect of a forest lake in the tropics, fringed with rich shrubbery and palms. The building describes an arc 950 feet in length and its area is 205,000 feet, or nearly five acres. The Palace of Fine Arts is of steel and con- crete and is fire and burglar proof. Opposite the Palace of Education, in the South Gardens, is the great Pa'ace of Horticulture. This huge structure covers approximately five acres and in architecture is Saracenic.

The dome is surmounted by a half-globe, “the flower basket,” 26 feet in height and: weighing twenty-eight tons. During the Ex- position the ialflglo e will be planted with flowers of all kinds. At night the dome will become one of the most spectacular features of the Exposition. Kaleidoscopic lights from within will play upon the Jass, giving the giant sphere the effect of a huge iridescent soap bubble. South of the Palace of Varied Industries and also in the South Gardens, Festival Hall, a rendezvous for conventions in 1915, is under construction. The eight exhibit palaces forming the rectangle, are divided by three avenues running north and south and one east and west. At the intersectio.. of the east and west avenue with the north and south avenue lie .three great courts of honor, the walls of the four buildings surrounding each court being identical to form the oval of the court.” In the center of the group is the great Court of the Universe; on the west, paralleling the Court of the Universe, is the Court of the Four Seasons, and on the east is the Court of Abu.darce. Vast colonnades encircle the courts, running from their openings on San Francisco harbor back to the courts themselves. From almost any point of view, the visitor whilé traversing the courts will gain flashing glimpses of the blue harbor between the lofty colonnades. The Court of the Universe is 750 feet in width by 900 feet long and resembles somewhat in shape the great plaza approaching the Church of St. Peter at Rome. The effect of the court is magnificent. Corinthian columns encircle it. The walls of the palaces behind the columns are colored a burnt sienna, while the vaults of the corridors are ultra- marine blue. The columns are the shade of the exhibit palaces, a_ faint ivory yellow, the color of imitation Travertine stone. The columns of the Court of the Four Seasons are Roman Ionic, modi- fied with a touch of modern detail. This court is 340 feet square and opens to the nortk on San Fran- cisco harbor by a colonnaded avenue 473 feet long and 173 feet in width. Through a passage in a great niche or half-dome at the south end of the court it opens into the Court of the Palms. The east court, or Court of Abundance, is similar in size and shape to the Court of the Four Seasons. An arcade, dominated by a great Oriental tower, 270 feet in height, upon the north avenue of the court, encircles the court. Between the courts along the intersecting east and west avenue 8re great open patios where the ornamentation of the walls of the before he wa: mediately shoulders of spectators who gathered to watch the reservists assemble. was marched around amid wild cheer- ing and singing of patriotic airs. recognized. for Holyoke. borne on Im- he w the | He made He played with the Sioux City team in the West- ern league and was hitting for and fielding for .974 in 107 games.

The patios are cut off from the courts by huge colonnades. so that each presents a distinctive scheme of color and decoration. The revailing decoration of these vast open aisles is gompeiian with shades of green and terra cotta, of robin’s egg blue and Venetian red, blending in mar- velous mosaics. & The outside walls of the central group of eight palaces forms an almost continuous facade. Through- out 1ts entire circuit of the group its circuit is un- broken save by the huge and hifhly decorated portals and entrances to the exhibit palaces, by the openings of the courts upon San Francisco harbor and by the two other minor courts that open out upon the South Gardens. Throughout the circuit of the vast encircling facades there is regularity in the architecture. In the walls of the stateiy palaces are green latticed windows with a wealth of gold and terra cotta show- ing behind the network of the green. The windows recall those of the great monasteries. Repeated groups of statuary, lofty Corinthian and Ionic col- umns, stately portals .nd a profusion of ornamental trees, some of them fifty feet in height, and shrubs contrast with the prevailing ivory tint, the walls lending life and beauty to the ensemble. And in this great sheil, which is to house the ex- hibits of the world, will the world’s progress be worthily exemplified. Italy, which has appropriated $400,000 toward the exposition, was the last of the foreign mations to dedicate its site. Signor Ernesto Nathan, former Mayor of Rome, who visited San Francisco as commissioner from Italy to the exposi- tion, promised that his country would make the finest :{i!rflly ever presented by Italy at a foreign exposi- on. “Argentina will riake a representation unsur- passed among the nations,” said His Excellency Romulo S. Naon, wher the Argentine dedicated its site last fall. “That Argentina’s exhibit will be ex- tensive may be inferred from the fact that the great South American republic kas appropriated $1,300,000 gold for its participation. The exhibit will include a vast live stock display in the live stock pavilions and illustrative displays of Argentina’s schools, churches, theatres and educational methods. Canada will make a huge exhibit of the argicultural re- sources of the Dominion. The great Canadian pa- vilion, to cost $300,000, is structurally completed and the finishing “ouches will be put on next fall. Canada appropriated $600,000. France wili expend §500,000. The figures run high. Thomas G. Stallsmith, one of TS ARE FINISHED AT SAN FRANCISCO DISPLAYS BEGINS opens on February 20 and closes December 4, 1915.

More than 23C great international congresses and conventions, at which more than 500,000 acred- ited delegates will assemble, have voted to meet in San Francisco in 1915. It is expected that fully 500 conventions will have decided to meet in San n- cisco by the time the exposition opens. The dele- gates to these assemblages will come from every part of the globe, and leaders in art, science, industry and in the teaching of ethical propaganda, will p: t in standardized form the results of the worl L'fi efforts in recent years.
