Wili the car pull a bill better if the gaps were closer? (2) Should distance of plugs be set closer in winter than in summer? (3) Are the roads to An- b Park in good condition at pres- ent HE. R. The correct gap for spark plugs varies with different motors, as well o@ with different ignition apparatus, nd can be determined only by ex- periment. If your motor runs satis- factorily with the gap you use, why ebange it? If you think you can Im- prove {t with a smaller gap, try it and see bow it works out. (2) No is necessary.

A friend of mine tella me the clutch should be in neutral and the foot brake should be used. is correct. W. D. BURT. The car might be operated while descending a grade in several ways. The machine might be allowed to coast, having the clutch in neutral and using either the hand or foot brake. The clutch might be left in and the switch turned off, thus using the motor a@ a brake; or it: might be operated as You suggest. The opera- tion depends upon the running condi- tions, Automabile Edttor I have @ Cadillac car, four cylinder, and am constandy baving troubie with same. The power is very low on first and second speed, and hardly any whatever on third speed. T had the magneto magnetized; have also cleaned out the muffler and had carbon removed from top of cyl- inder, but the trouble still remains. I had the carbureter adjusted a num- ber of times, but ‘with no favorable result. Can you suggest anythin, FRANK BYRNE. Would suggest that the timing of the motor be gone over thoroughly. if the valves or ignition are not set properly the motor will be lacking in power. If the car drags and does not coast properly the motor will not pull efficiently.

When I put my foot! on the brake the grind Is very dis- | tinct, also the car moves forward every morning, I called the Ford Company's attention to the grind when I took the car out, and they told me it was the high ends of the bands, I cleaned out all the old oll from the transmission and still it| grinds.

PETER BLAKE. Your trouble is no doubt due to a dragging band. If the bands drag un the drums, the internal gears are un- line der a working strain and will cause | an unnecessary noied. Would advise the use of @ good gear oll in the drums, Grease ol) will cause a drag if too heavy. If the bands are per- fectly adjusted, the noise will no Joubt stop. Automobile Editor: How will defective mixture caum heat, and how is the carbureter ad- | justed to overcome this condition? J. N. ROBERTS A mixture that containg too much gasoline vapor will be slow burning | 4nd will have more heating value without producing correspondingly more power than one of proper pro- portions or having an excess of air. As combustion 1s not perfect, the engine will not deliver its full power and the surplus heat liberated by every explosion must be absorbed by the cooling system. The carbureter adjustment varies with the type of instrument used, but as a general rule the overt ting may be re- duced by eith closing down the needle valve regulating the fuel sup- ply so that less gasoline will be Sprayed Into the mixture, or by clos.

Th may realty fn the Greater City in ansenned far @hove a fair level of value They estimate that folly $25,000,000 a year, and possibly $20,000,000, haw been levied against them unjuntly, The winning candidates promised to cor rect this Inequality and realty repre ives are determined to hold the Hittelana to thelr word. Experts of the realty organizations fieure that assessed valuations ¢ f the Greater City are a round $1,000,000 000 higher than legal requiremer They verity thetr calculations wit long list of current sales which avr rage at least 10 per cent, under the city’s tax figures. Records for the year to date, @howing 868 convey ances in which sale prices are stated, give a total $36,882,120. whereas as- nessed valuations of the same par- | cels on the tax rolls total $41,631,160. Auction sales show a similar lower price level than that on the tax| books. The same percentages car- | pled out for the entire eight billions | of olty realty would leave its market | | value at seven billions. | | A 2 per cent. tax rate on the extra billion would lay a yearly tribute of $20,000,000 against realty above its/ current sale value. But real estate also is forced to pay another $10,000,000 as @ result of this inflated city valuation. It comes from the State budget. ‘The State levies against the city on its 110 per cent. realty valuations when collecting taxes for payment of State expenses, but at the sale time | the holdings of realty in up-State | districts are assessed on only an ave- rage valuation of 60 per cent. In some country districts ansessora nave recorded valuations as low as cent, of current market prices. They | have maintained this low level per- | sistently in spite of repeated efforts on the part of State assessors to correct the inequalities, “In order to head off the threatened said Pres' Estate Board to-day, “we must hasten fo relieve realty of as mu tax burden as possible without ful ther delay.

You Won't Let Me Starve, Will You? Y name is Shushan. I am a little Armenian girl. Do I look much different from an American baby girl? I was happy until my papa and mamma died. I had nice things to eat and wear, now'l am growing blind because I am starving. I am only one of 400,000 little orphan girls and boys who are Starv- ing. Have you ever been really hungry? You dear, good, kind, generous Americans will not let us go hungry, will you? Many thousands of my little friends have already died from slow starvation. Those of us still alive, but oh, so weak for just bread, can be saved even from the blindness of starvation if we can get help quick. You will help us, won't you, dear, good, kind, generous Americans? When American papas and mam- mas look at their happy little girls and boys—just as I once was—won't they say: “We will give enough money to save the life of a little Armenian or Syrian or Greek boy or girl.” Won't you little happy American boys and girls ask your papas and mammas to give you seventeen cents a day to send to us? . That much will keep one of us alive for one day. Will it not make you very happy to know you are helping little girls and boys, just like you are, to live? There are thousands of other little girls and boys whose papas and mammas are living—but all of them are starving, just as I am. Everybody here is hungry. Our pretty homes have been de- stroyed and. we were driven across the desert. My mamma carried me to the Re- lief Station. She gave me the last of our food and she starved to death. Yesterday 800 children had to be turned away when the Relief Workers gave us supper last night. Turned away to die because there was not enough food to give to all of us. The others who are living must be helped. We sleep on the ground. Winter is coming and it is very cold—but being cold is not nearly so bad as being hungry—and being hungry is not nearly so bad as starving. The mothers and the tiny babies all around me are starving. They are weak, but so patient, even when they begin to go blind. In all there are 2,500,000 of us who can yet be helped. Seventeen cents a day apicce is all we ask. It is enough to keep us alive, but we must be saved NOW, TO-DAY. We pray to God every morning, noon and night to shower you with his blessings so you dear, good, kind, generous Americans can help us. You will help us, won't you? Lovingly yours, SHUSHAN SERIEN EVERY CENT BUYS BREAD. NOT A PENNY GOES FOR EXPENSES.
