NEW BRITAIN DAILY [ERALD, TUESDA TREN-TEN BONS NEAR TEPPELIN SHED gnch and English Aviators Raid - Town of Friedrichshafen. Geneva, via Paris, Nov. 24, 12:40 a. —Details of the aeroplane raid on riedrichshafen have been received ere’from Romanshorn, a Swiss town leven miles from Constance. From is account it appears that two rench and two English aviators, the prmer mounted on and e latter on biplanes, arrived above riedrichshafen at one o'clock Sat- prday afternoon flying at great speed nd keeping at a great height. Suddenly two of the machines laned down to about 400 yards above he city, and amidst a hail of shells hnd bullets from six quick firers orked by the men of the Bavarian egiment, circled for half an hour, Huring which they threw about ten pombs in the vicinity of the Zeppelin hed. One of these bombs struck ome, destroying part of the shed and gme machinery therein. It is re- portea that one of the latest Zeppelins, phich was ready ta be launched, was badiy damaged, but the Germans eny this. Workmen at Dinner. The thousand or more workmen ployed about the place were at din- r when the raid occurred, or the s of life would have been greater han’ it was. One house was de- royed by the bombs and several per- ns were killed, including two sol- ers. The gun fire of the German diers brought one of the aviators earth with his machine. He proved be 4 RBritish naval officer. The Piree other machines disappeared, but e of them, supposed ta be manned v the other Englishman, is reported 0 have fallen into the lake, the avia- being drowned. Another report ks the second machine was forced land in Wurtemberg. In any nt only two machines were seen ater flying toward Belfort, which is 25 rhiles in a direct line from the eppélin establishment. Caused Much Anxiety.

CONVERSE BACK FROM IQUITOS, PERU U. Physician Gives Account Ravages of Yellow Fever and Hook Worm in Amazon Region. San Francisco, Nov. 24.—Dr. George M. Converse of the United States public health service has re- turned to San Francisco after almost ee years spent in Iquitos, whither he went at the request of the Peruvian government to try to ascer- | tain why the inhabitants of Iquitos were dying at the rate of fifty per 1,000 per annum, and why virtually the entire population was always either sick or ailing. | Dr. Converse journey 2,300 miles up the Amazon to reach Iquitos. Yel- low fever and hook worm were the diseases causing the most trouble. At least ninety per cent. were suffering from hook worm, said He found city very dirty and immediately instituted a cleaning up. There was no hospital or facilities of any kind afforded by the municipality and the American’s work was handicapped. But before he left, Dr. Converse had succeeded in reducing the death rate to twenty-one per 1,000, he said, and had established a well equipped clinic which he says will, at the end of ten years, have suc- ceeded in saving the lives of about four thousand of tne 'afflicted in- habitants. “Hook worm infection,” he said, “makes the people earth eaters. Cla candles, and even the bricks of thei ‘houses are eaten as a consequence of the peculiar appetite engendered by the disease.” ARRIVE AT OSNABRUCK.

Does advancing spark increase its volume? T und stand that the amount of spark ! pends on the advance.—L. A. Advancing and retarding do not af- fect the volume of the spark, but ather the time it takes place in th2 { cylinder in relation to the piston posi- tion. If the spar 5 when pis- ton is past dead center it is -then | termed retarded; if before dead cen- ter then it is advanced. When crank ing a motor very slowly on batter: ystem the spark must be retarded, otherwise an explosion may take place in the cylinder before piston s reached top center and reverse. reversing is turned a kick, and dangerous. The amount of advance to give the spark when driving de- | pends upon the speed of the motor. If the motor is pulling hard and turn- ing over slowly then the spark can- not be so far advanced. If turning freely and fast, then the full advance is advisable. I have a one-cylinder runabout which works O. K.; but now that the weather is cold it is hard to start. The grease that I get at the garage seems could use in the transmission or dif- easier. How much alcohol and glyc: rine is needed for one pail of water and how often will I have to add to the mixture to keep the radiator from freezing? I run the car about eight miles a day.—M. You can attach a simple priming device which will facilitate starting. This should be arranged to flood the carburetor or to partially ‘close the air inlet or carburctor when desired. It is advisable to use a lighter grade of oil and grease during cold weath- er. Your garage should carry in stock the lighter grades. Mix a solution in the following pro- portions: Water, 70 per: cent.; alcohol jand glycerine, 30 per cent. This will prevent freezingto 5 degrees Fahr. | below zero.. A little alcohol should be added at frequent intervals to al- low for evaporation. - Motoring Department, The Herald— i My car with ——— ignition starts readily on batter de and also on magneto side, providing I first feed gasoline through petcocks, but stops ,after running weak for cight to ten { seconds.

If you keep the batteri box, which is usually the case, per- haps the dampness in this box has caused an ignition leak. One of the cells may be touching some part of the box.

The points of the cir- cuit breaker should open one-thirty-! second of an inch. A weak coil will also give trouble, and would suggest this be thoroughly tested nother coil installed temporarily to prove whether or not the original is defective. Motoring Department, The Herald-— After a mileage of over 10,000 miiles made by my roadster I took down the niotor to clean cylinders and adjust bearings. It works quiet and runs fine, except that I do not seem to get as much power as formerly. Care was taken in replacing pistons and Valves were was also looked after. power without taking engine down again? Will motor tend to get bei- ter with use, the rings wearing to a tighter fit in cylinders?—G. D. S. After cleaning the cylinders and grinding the valves, the motor should have more compres:zion and more power. If there are any compression leaks in any of the cylinders this alone will cause loss of power. Tt is possible that compression leaks pa: the pistons and rings. If the cylin- ders are not true, the installation of new rings will not stop the leaks. The only remedy will be to rebore the cylinders and fit new pistons and rings. Would suggest that the valve timing and ignition timing be care- fully checked. Also adjust carbure- tor carefully. A bad mixture may be the cause of all the trouble. Motoring Department, The Herald: 1 have owned an automobile for a long time, but do not know much about its construction. When seeing a motor torn down my attention was called to a motor crankshaft. In mal ing inquiry as to how this shaft was made and of what it was made the mechanic did not seem to know much about it. Will you please advice me—M. C.

When I let the clutch in there secems to be a heavy jerk all through the car. 1 have examined everything carefully but all the parts seem to be in good Could you suggest an economical way of fixing this?—R. C. When the universal joints and the square end shafts of the axle and become worn considera- ble back lash will result. If you will jack up one rear wheel and then place the gear lever in speed you can read- ily get an idea what this lost mo- tion amounts to by moving back- ward and forward the raised wheel. If all the joints are tight you should be able to move the wheel scarcely an, inch measuring on the tire. To climi- nate the lost motion entirely is prac- tically impossible on an old car. Bach joint may not appear to be worn greatly but like the links in a chain, cach little amount when added to- gether totals considerable at the wheel. By installing new pins and blocks in the universals and upset- ting and refitting the square end shafts of the axle you should elimi- nate most of the lost motion at a very reasonable cost. A careful inspection of the universal yokes should be made to see if they are tight on the shafts. YOU CANT HEEP A 600D THING DOWN (Continued from Eighth Page.) lot of play has been admitted that Murphy owns a half interest in the grounds used by both the Chicago and Philadelphia National league clubs. This connec- tion with Taft is attributed as the reason why Murphy is consulted by the power behind the throne in the management of both teams. Murphy, who always was fond publicity, maintained a strange si- lence from the time he was sup- posed to have been ousted from the Cubs until August Herrmann, on behalf of C. P. Taft, attempted to dis- pose of somne of the club stock to Charles Weeghman. Then Chubby Charles broke loose, and he has not stopped talking vet. Te not only says that he controls the Cubs, but intimates that he may attend the National league meeting in New York. Ban Johnson is very much peeved over Murphy's latest activities, but is too busy with his own troubles to vent his spleen openly. Johnson has been assured by Tener, he says, that Murphy is only talking through his hat, but he thinks that steps should be taken to eliminate all question of Murphy's right to speak publicly of National lcague affairs. Tt was with the hope that a transfer of the club presidency to Weeghman would si- lence Murphy for all time that John- son gave a reluctant consent to the negotiations between Herrmann and the Chicago Federal promoter. of BACK IN WASHINGTON.

Invé SIX MONTHS ACA TRAIGNG FOR S Fature Appreptiy Séamen Wil celve Longer Professional Tnstruc tion at §aval Training Stations. 3 Svashington, Nov. 74.—Apprentice sedfnen in the future will receive six menths academic and professional in- struction at naval training stations in- stead of four months as heretofore. Ar announcing this change Yesterday, Secretary Daniels said it marks an extension of the general educational plen of the navy. While the work afloat will be continued the longer shore proposition will —make it peesible for the men, once they are transferred to the fleet, to begin work immediately upon the higher branch- es, chiefly those relating to strictly professional and technical subjects, Further outlining his plans, Mr. Daniels said: ‘“Practically all of the recruits for the naval service are im- mediately upon enlistment sent to the four training stations located at New- port, R. I, Norfolk, Va., Great Lakes, 1li., and San Francisco, Calif., the number of them at all the stations ap- proximating 3,500. At these stations they learn how to care for themselves, are given lessons in sanitation, and are taught, in addition to the school work, infantry, boat and gun drills and as much of the elementary work of the navy as time and facilities will permit. Conditions at these stations make it possible to carry on academic education in a more & than is practicable or possible on board ship and their retention at them for a period of six months permits of an extension of their academic work to an extent that will be very valu- able. “Young officers who are not long out of the naval academy and are there- fore in close touch with the details and methods of, study and instruction, are detailed to assist with the education and training of these newly enlisted men: in addition to these young offi- cers, experienced and skilled warrant officers and petty officers and also de- tailed for the work with the result that a surprising development takes place in the young recruits in the period of few months following their enis maining uncalled for at Britain post office Nov. 24, Kilduff, L.
