Listening in on Congress

ff>i T trifs Special ASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Sena\a/ tor Caraway, Arkansas, es- ___] cortlng a party of visitors through the capitol, arrived at the entrance to the Senate lobby. He pointed out a huge vase standing just inside the door. “That vase is the gift of the French government, made some years ago. Later they borrowed four billion dollars from us. The vase is here —the four billion is still in France.” • • • Capitol police have been ordered to refrain from reading law and medical text books while on duty. Several of them are students at local universities and work their way through ea policemen around the Capitol. One of them was caught neglecting his duties while studying, hence the order. Law students get jobs as day watchmen and medical students as night watchmen to fit their class hours. They change from their working clothes when they go to class. One aviator at Bolling field Is a law student also. Sometimes he is sent to Philadelphia or Baltimore and mak'-s a flylijg trip back to gpt to class on time. Any number of elevator boys at the Capitol are law students. Some of them will come back as Senators or Congressmen in later years. • • • William M. Butler's first Senate speech was of typical Coolldge brevity. He spoke about one minute, formally announcing the death of Representative Greene of Massachusetts and oftering a resolution of regret. • • • Senator Bruce. Maryland, is a hard-headed business man. but in a speech on Muscle Shoals he quoted poetry twice within five minutes In criticising another Senator for changing his position. “Ilis temporary support of the amendment,’' he said, "reminds nit of the stmilie in Bum’s poem—- “ Like the snow falls In the river, “A moment white —then melts forever.” “Or if I may lapse Into cruder poetry, It reminds me of the old distich: “Between the stirrup and the ground, “He mercy sought, he mercy found.” • • • Senators and Representatives are to be given special automobile license tags marked “Congressional.’’ which will entitle them to unlimited pai-king privileges when on official business. But Police Commissioner Oyster ordered that these tags will not be honored when Congressmen are attending theaters, shopping or making social calls. • • • Brig. Gen. Dennis E. Nolan, ns sistant chief of staff, whose promotion to major general is now before the Senate, ts no desk general. During an action near Appremont he walked out under a German barrage and personally directed the tanks and pepped up the counter-attack under a harassing fire of machine guns, rifles and artillery. He received the Distinguished Service cross for this act of heroism. Farm Facts Last season’s corn crop Is estimated to have fallen about 14 per cent below that of 1923 In the eleven countries that produce most of the com In the northern hemisphere According to the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, the combined crop Is 3,037.348,000 bushels.

Practically the entire decrease In the northern hemisphere corn crop is due to the bad yield In the United States. Italy, Hungary. Jugoslavia and Roumania the four largest com producers, report considerable Increases. • • • Argentina reports the third larg est f.ax cron since 1911-12. It is 62,400.000 bushels, p.s compared with 68,600.000 last year. • • The new agricultural commission Intense tr> dr-lve even into European farm conditions in Its endeavor to rtop foreign competition with American farm products. • • • Increase In shipment of reindeer meat from Alaska Is expected. Last year ninety tons were shipped. Due to Increase In the number of de**r In Alaska, a proportionate Increase In venison shipment la anticipated. Canadian wheat exports this year may be half that of last, according ♦o government reports. Last year Canada exported 31.1.000,000 bushels. This year the export Is expected to be about D0,000.000 bushels. • • • The United Kta'os i s taking an intensive census of the number of livestock kept on American farms. Poultry, oat tie and pigs will be in the count. The count Is to form basis for forecasting further production and market supplier. • * • The flaxseed crop in the United States, nearly double that, of last year, has caus-d a considerable increase in flaxseed production in the northern hemisphere. In this country It was 20,CD.o*n) bushels against 17.42y,C00 lust year, • • • India is second to the United States. nearly double that of last year, has caused a considerable Increase in flaxseed production In the northern hemisphere In this country it was 30.632.000 bushels against 17,429.000 last year.

How to Tune Up Carburetor for Winter Driving

The adjustment of the carburetor determines to a large extent not only the kind of performance you are going to get from the motor and the ease with which it Will start, but also how long it will run before it i3 necessary to overhaul it. In summer the warm air helps to vaporise the gasoline and the carburetor can be adjusted to deliver a very lean mixture. When the cold weather arrives, the mixture must be richer, otherwise the engine will be hard to start and will choke and pop back in the carburetor when you accelerate or run at low speeds. Great care, however, must be taken not to adjust the carburetor to deliver a mixture that is TOO rich or you may cause serious damage to the motor and be troubled with fouled up spark plugs, carbon deposits and dilution of the lubricating oil with gasoline. Last week I gave you Instructions showing how to test out and put the ignition system in good condition and the week before instructions showing how to clean out and prepare the gasoline system. It is absolutely necessary before you attempt to adjust the carburetor that you.make certain the gasoline is flowing through freely to the carburetor and that a good hot spark is occurring at the points of every spark plug. Make sure

also that the butterfly valve (the choker) in the air intake is straight across and is not obstructing. the passage of the air into the carburetor. Sometimes the rod or wire operating the choker sticks, then the valve is partly closed all the time. This has the effect of partly blocking the air supply and makes It difficult, if not impossible, to tune up the carburetor properly. The adjusting of all carburetors is very much the same, although some have two adjustments, while others have three. All carburetors of whatever make have a throttle lever stop screw which enables you to regulate the speed the engine idles

ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED A.

cold weather, it Is better to set the throttle stop screw so that the engine idles a little faster than it did during the warm weather, otherwise you will find the motor stalls very easily when it is cold. To adjust the high speed mixture, set the spark lever at the usual driving position and open the throttle just far enough to allow the motor to run about as fast as it would when traveling on the road at twenty or twenty-five miles an hour. Now turn the high speed adjusting screw in until tiie engine begins to slow up and pop back in the carburetor, then turn it out slowly until the motor runs smoothly and evenly. To test the adjust Trent, fully advance the spark lever and close the throttle. Give the engine about half a minute to settle down then suddenly open the throttle wide for JUST A SECOND. If the adjustment Is correct, the engine will accelerate Instantly. If it pops back in the carburetor or chokes, then turn the adjusting screw out to make the mixture a little richer.

AVOIDING HIGH RENTS Man Sleeps in Tomb; Police Investigate Ghost Story. Fu Timen Special LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 12. Persistent reports that the historic old Spanish cemetery here w;ts visited nightly by a ghost, or ghoul led to a police investigation, whicn ended in the arrest of Manuel Blanco, who has been avoiding high rents by using an empty tomb for a sleeping chamber. T have been sleeping there for a month and no one has disturbed me until now.” he was quoted as say-

To adjust for low speed and easy starting, close the throttle and retard the spark lever. If the engine stops when the throttle is closed, tuke a screwdriver and slowly turn the throttle stop until the engine hit- ■ slowly and shows no sign of stopping when the trottle is closed. Now if there is a low speed adjustment, turn in the adjusting screw until the engine begins to show sign of slowing up and stopping, then turn it out until the motor Idles smoothly. If you find after you hav ’ made this adjustment that the engine runs too fast, turn in the throttle lever stop screw until It runs at the desired Idling speed. During the

FLOOR WALKERS OF OLD ARE OBSOLETE Dignified Gents Have Evolved Into Progressive Department Store Managers.

The old-fashioned department store f.oo.- walker, with his heavily oiled walrus whiskers, his regal air of lofty aloofness, his conventional Prince Albert coat, has gone to join the great auk, mastodon, hair cloth sofa, sea-going hack and red plush album in the realm of oblivion. "He disappeared with business progress,’’ Carl Smith, assistant superintendent of 11. P. Wasson & Cos., said today. “The old iloor walker was little more than a director of traffic, sort of walking information bureau. He has been replaced by floor managers who assume l esponsibilitles the old floor walker never dreamed of, in addition to taking on all his duties.’” Duties Aral Numerous Among duties of floor manager are supervision of employes, seeing that they are at work on time, hunting lust children and mislaid packages, training new employes, answering customers’ inquiries, giving advice of all sorts and being able to answer about every conceivable question a customer might ask. Practically every department store already has put on additional help for tna holiday rush. Some stores
