' haust valves, since all the combustion | vesidue must pass over them. ‘Motoring Department—How can 1 test dry cells and also storage battery 4n order to ascertain their condition? I know that in testing dry cells an .ammeter is used, and for testing a storage battery a voltmeter is used, but I do not understand why.—L. R. A dry cell battery differs from a storage battery in that the construc- tion and chemical action differs. The internal resistance of dry cells is comparatively high, while the chenu- cal action is rather slow. In a stor- age battery the reverse is the case; the chemical action of the storage batery is very rapid, and the inter- nal resistance very slow. The resist- ance of the ammeter is very low, and it connected across the terminal of tne storage battery would not only jmmediately discharge the battery, but also ruin the ammeter. For this reason a voltmeter is used to test the storage battery. As stated above, the internal resistance of the dry cells is high and the chemical action slow. iFor this reason the ammeter is used ‘'to better advantage and with more correct results. Dry cells are peculiar iin that when practically exhausted the voltage remains nearly the same. LOne cannot test the true’condition o1 a dry cel] with a voltmeter. Motoring Department—A pair ot relectric lamps were recently fitted to my car, but the light is unsatisfactory, that is, they do not cover the road as “well as my acetylene lamps did. How ‘can this be fixed ?—Reader. << Usually the bulbs in electric head Jdamps are adjustable and may be moved forward or backward. If this Jis the case with your lamps, it would ibe best to locate an object at a fixed distance ahead, say about 100 yards, and then adjust the bulbs in both jlights until the best result is accom- |plished, Also note whether the lamps lare arranged in such a position that | [the light' is properly focussed. Un- less the lights are set correctly you jwill not get the combined effect of Iboth. Motoring Department—I have a Jeather-to-metal -clutch which grips. *I am careful about a gradual engage- ment, but I cannot secure the desired Tesult. What may cause this? What I give the cluteh to | A reply will be appreciated treatment can soften it? —P. R. The leather of the tlutch is no doubt too dry and should be treated with castor or neatsfoot oil. First clean the clutch léather in order to remove all foreign matter. It is often neces- sary to remove the glazed surface, if any, by scraping. Apply the oil over the whole face of the leather and low it to soak in over night. This should soften the leather and help to eliminate the trouble. If there is an adjustment on the clutch spring, would advise decreasing the tension of the spring slightly. Motoring Department—Will you tell me through your paper whether it is advisable to put anything in the water to stop a small leak in the radiator? I have been told that flaxseed is good for this purpose.—A. L. It is not advisable to place anything in the water of the cooling system in order to stop small leaks. Such for- eign matter is very apt to lodge at undesirable points and cause further trouble, Small leaks in the radiator should be soldered and then the re- pair is permanent. A radiator is rather delicate in its construction, and it is very easily clogged. If sections of it become clogged with foreign matter overheating will result. v Motoring Department—When the motor of my car is not running gas- oline dripg from the carburetor. Can you suggest a way to overcome this waste ?—W. S. The float in the carburetor may be adjusted too high, causing the valve | to unseat or the float valve may not | seat properly, and it would be best to replace the old valve. Very often, however, the valve may be reseated by tapping slightly, making sure to center the valve pin at the time. Motoring Department—Can you tell me some way to prevent a spark plug from sticking so that it can be re- moved without injuring it? I have broken two by forcing the plug with a large wrench. Please reply in your next issue—R. T. . A thick paste of fidke graphite and oil will serve the purpose. The graph- fte will prevent adhesion of the metals and at the same time prevent leakage, The mixture is also good to use on any bolts and studs which are subjected to considerable heat.

That is just what it should have been from the opportunities presented. Scott was lucky indeed to get away with a verdict over the earnest Ray Fisher.

Man-of-Wa Approaches Channel Lightship. New York, Aug. 25.—A large cruis- er was hovering off Barnegat, N. J., last night 8ccording t the captain of the United Fruit company steamer Ton adores (British), in port today from Port Limon and Colon. The jgenti- ty of the war vessel was not learned, A British cruiser Was sighted (his morning about ten miles soutn of {he About 8 A, M., she came as far as the Ambrose Channel lightship, then turned about Ambrose and headed off shore in an easterly Buffalo Fans With Chase’s Performance p— Buffalo, Aug. 24.—Hal Chase, who is first basing for the Buffalo Federal league ‘team, has made no hit with the local fans. They expected great things of the star, but they did not take into account Chase's tempera- ment and his temper. He has not played such a wonderful game as to endear him to the public, and there are loud demands that he be sent to the bench and another man be sta- tioned at the initial corner. Hal has been a storm center during all of his baseball career, and he has been no GERMAN DEFENCE ON FOUR PARALLEL LINES Vistula Iiivnr Strongest Aid to Kaiser in East Prussia. London, Aug. 25, 4:20 a. m.—A de- spatch to the Daily Mail from St. Petersburg says: “The German de- fense in East Prussia is based on four rarallel and strongly fortified -lines running north and south, Each is sup- ported by natural obstacles. The foremost three lines are distinct groups of numerous lakes. The fourth and strongest defense line is the Vistula river, extending from the Rusian frontier to the Baltic. “Outside these defense lines the Germans have on the northeast the very strong fortress of Konigsbers, with fortified advance positions at Libau and Tapiaa. This is situated on the flank of the Russian line and must be invested, necessitating the detach- ment of a considerable force. Lines Extensively Fortified. “The foremost three defense lines are xtensively fortified. There are important and permanent fortifica- tions at Allenstein and Boyen, and the whole is filled with lakes, leaving only comparatively narrow defiles for the advancing troops. is full of fortifications, partly pro- visional and partly fleld works, most | of which are armed with heavy guns, A 'frontal attack would be a very difficult task. ‘The Vistula, from 500 to 1,000 yards wide, is guarded by six fort- 1esses. The largest are at Thorn in the south and at Danzig in the north. Between them are Fordon, Kulm, Graudenz and Mariensburg. “The Russian Kitchener.” “A man entitled to rank among the first as an organizer of victory is compelled to remain far from the battlefield. He is General Soukhom- inoff, ‘The Russian Kitchener,” who is now reorganizing the Russian armies. Through him the armies have been irreproachably equipped, and spirit of the men is the same as spirit of the nation. “The defeat of three German army corps in northeastern Prussia was con- verted into a rout by the timely ar- rival of another army coming from ‘Warsaw in the rear of the position. The Warsaw army, which was very powerful, completely turned the German position at the Mazur Lakes, and while extending its opera- tions over a wide front westward headed towards Allenstein. The Ger- man Twentieth Army Corps thus be- came a nut between stout crackers. The commanders of both Russian armies acted with energy and promp- titude worthy executives of the brain dominating the whole army. Routed at Plukhow. “In Galicia the theater of Russian strategy will be on a level with the victorious plan adopted farther north. The Austrians in Lemberg probably vill be taken in a similar vise. This may be inferred from the fact that one army has reached Rava, to the north of Lemberg. Another army is advancing from the southeast, as is shown by the fact that nine Russian cavalry squadrons have routed the en- | tire Austrian division Plukhow. “The Austrian cavalry at force retreating from Vladimir Volhynsky, Russia, seventeen miles from the frontier, towards Sokal, in Galicla, Austria, probably has been cut off, Grand Tuke Michael, the Emperor's brother, bas returned from abroad and is going to the front.” The Russian embassy in London; The country | the | the | enemy’s Displeased exception since he jumped the Chica- go White Sox. while pleased over the victory at Gumbinnen, states that it feels bound to warn the English press not to exaggerate the consequences of the victory.” GERMANS AIDED BY PEQPLE OF LORRAINE French Officer Relates How Repub- lc's Forces Were Double- Crossed by Crafty Citizes. Paris, Aug. 25., 4:25 a. m.—A de- spatch received here from Bourges gives the recital of a French officer wounded in Lorraine. He relates how the Germans were aided by the local inhabitants, wno had prepared for every eventuality. The officials of villages in Lorraine fell upon ‘the necks of the French soldiers when they came into town and greeted them as saviours. No sooner had they done this than they would go to the eage of the village and hang out Frencn iags, big white sheets, etc., to indicate to the enemy the exact position of the French sol- diers. ~ The mayor of one village tapped a French field telephone wire for the benefit of the enemy, after having offered a room in his house for the installation of the station. A local schoolmaster vorrected the range of the German guns by moving the hands of the church clock. At Dieuze, the French were per- suaded that they wouid meet no op- position, Despite these assurances, however, they came upon concrete trenches filled with German troops and supported by quick firing guns. After they had stormed the trenches with the bayonet and were resting, they heard the strains of Chopin’s Funeral March played by a military band in the distance. This music served as a prelude to a storm of shells from a masked battery. GRAND CIRCUIT MEET. ur Events With Large Field Mark Opening of Fort Erie Races. Buffalo, N. Y. Aug, 26.—Four events with large fields in each marked the opening at Fort Erie to- day of the three day grand circuit meet. The feature event, the $5,000 Fort Erie for the 2:11 class pacers, brought out King Couchman, the chamber ~ of commerce winner {2:03 1-2); Camelia (2:06 1-4) and Thistle Patch, W. L. Simons’ record- less son of Jove Patchen, with seven others whose owners believed they had a chance to win a slice of the stake. The other three events for trotters were the 2:15 class, the 2:06 class, and the Dominion of Canada ($2,000) for the 2:10 class. TO REOPEN WATERWAYS., Paris, Aug. 25, 12:08 p. m.—With the idea of facilitating commerce in France it is officially announced that the waterways in the interior of the republic are to be reopened. 1t is understood, however, that military movements will be given preference over ‘all other traffic, DANGEROUSLY ILL.

Judge Meskill asked Dr. Reeks if he knew whether Furman had given any permission to collect garbage. Dr. Reeks replied tiut Furman de- nies this emphatically. “I am powerless to stop these gar- bage collectors,” Dr. Reeks said. “These men go out after 9 o’clock at night and before 6 o‘clock in the morning taking garbage.” “You tell these men that they have no right to collect garbage,” Judge Meskill told Interpreter Malinowsky. “On account of these being the first cases I am going to impose a mini- mum fine of $5.” Costly Change of Coats, Dudley Wilcox of Hartford ad- mitted that he did not nave his oper- ator’s license with him yesterday when he was held up on Main street by Officer King, who was unable to see the front license marker on his motorcycle. The accused was on his way to Bantam lake and was carrying his camp Kkit, which concealed his front marker. The poiiceman halted him and suggested that he shift the camp outfit. Incidentally he asked to see Wilcox’s operator’s license and ar- rested him when it was not produced. Wilcox told Judge Meskill he changed his coat berfore starting out and left the license in the garment at home. Even in court he was unable to produce his operator’s card, but showed a certificate s:ating that he was the owner of a motoreycle. Wilcox was fined $5 without costs. Fined for Abusing Woman. James Egan pleaded not guilty to breach of the peace and using inde- ' cent language. The complainant was | Mrs. Jennie Richman, who said Egan called her vile names last Saturday | at her home on Huriburt street. Egan | denied using any language that would | not pass muster at a church social. He gave a graphic description in the prisoner’s pen of how h¢ had been annoyed by boys last Saturday and how he had chased tnem away. Judge Meskill imposed a fine of $5. Jail for Vagrant. Harry Smith was fined $5 for drunkenness and sent to jail for ten days for vagrancy. He was arrested on Main street yesterday by Officers King and Storey who saw him beg- ging. Maurice Could Stand a Few More. Maurice Fitzgerald didn’t think his condition could bpe described as drunk. When asked if he was drunk he replied, “Oh, I could stand a few more, I guess.” Fitzgerald was ar- rested early this morning by Officer Massey at the rear of the Park hotel. He was fined $5. BUYS HUDSON PROPERTY. John J. Higgins and James J. Wat- son have returned from an extended trip through the Catskill mountains. While in New York state Mr. Higgins purchased a large tract of land at Hudson which he intends to develop in the near future. He expects to realize on about 100 building lots. e e NS — At a Court of Probate holden at New Britain, within and for the Dis- tric of Berlin, in the County of Hart- ford and State of Connecticut, on the 24th day of August, A.

The Avstrian lihe, upon being ad- viced that a steamer answering the description of their vessels had been stopped by a cruiser off Fire Islénd, New | admitted that one of their vessels was due here tomorrow but declined tu give its name or port of sailing. Nationality Not Distinguished. Because of the distance from shore, observers were unable to dis- tinguish accurately the nationality of either vessel. The cruiser had three funnels and appeared to be a British war vesssl of the Lancaster and Buffolk type. The steamer had the Austrian line pipe and looked like a vesel of that line. She had two masts. No Shots Fired. Both vessels came from the east. The steamer was stopped apparently without a shot having been fired. Af- ter the steamer was halted the cruiser sent a small boat to her. The only British cruiser knowr o be in these waters within the last twenty-four hours is the Essex, which halted the Clyde Line freighter Rio | Grande bound here from Brunswick, Ga., 18 miles southeast of Atlantic City last night.
