I wag going in Salt Lake City with my brother and so got out my beat .clothes and . began to dress. By the time I was through rushing around getting most of rayj clothes, It was i'ivs o'clock. We were to leave at five-thirty. As 1 went to put on my collir, but) of all the times in the world, one collar button was missing. I searched through :V-i ery drawer in the dresr and Jerked down all the shirts in :ha closet to see if there could possibly ba a stray collar col-lar button In one of them. I was doomed to disappointment as there was none there. vI tore up the carpet to see if on might not have rolled under it, but was again doomed since none could be found. It was then five-fifteen, five-fifteen, so I decided that I would not go to Salt Lake and began to tear off my shirt when. Lo! and behold! There was the collar button laying on on the floor were it had fallen out of my shirt. I hurried and put on my shirt and by running all the way to the station was able to go.

I was working with a farmer who owned a team of large black horses, both were very good looking but one was balky, 'me dav I was sent with a load of grain AN UNPREPARED LESSON. (By Irene Martensen.) The first time one is unprepared is the worst. At least it was for me. It had been' -any habit since beginnig high school to come prepared, but one night we had company, and it would have been poor manners to have excused ex-cused myself and study; I thought that I would help entertain; soon I forgot lessons and wehad a great deal of fun. Wheii the company left it was one o'clock and I went to bed instead. The next morning on coming to school I hurried, to the commerical room to get my lessons, but alas! It was nine o'clock. My first period was Algebra. I "got through" because I worked the problems as the students went along explaining thorn, then came my Eng-glish Eng-glish class. When the bell rang I had the queerest feeling around my heart. I got up out pf my seat and felt my knees trembling. Estella said "Come on." Taking her arm I was able to i walk. What excuse should I make to i Mrs. , - SpitzenUrger? Oh Dear, I visl.-d I culd tfamt. When we c ame in there Mrs. Syitzenberger was looking look-ing cross. My heart began to throb, knees to shak, hands to become j c:ld, uid my lips trembling. Oh. If i only J were dead. Then to my relief j Mrs. Spitzenberger announced that : those who had net reported on three ! books would report on books this period while the others Btudied. That was the first and I think it will be the last time I had such a' sickening feeling for not being prepared.

To see peop'.e admiring the team made me feel proud; and I drove along the street as though I owned them. As I was nearing the store where 1 I was to deliver the grain, I came to a mud ho'.o around which was a group of paopls. When pulling through the mud hole, of course, the balky- horse stopped. At this the crowd Jeered excitedly This embarrassed me and excited the team. Then it was "all off," for as soon as the balky horse became excited' he wouldn't pull at all. This left me in an embarrassing state of mind. To make matters worse, a man came ;alpng.-, with a . team of very , small .'horses and pulled me out; The crowd 'surely did shout at my expense :.'. '. CARBURETOH TROUBLES. ' (By William Oddie.) An, analysis of the reports from Service Station discloses that in nineteen nine-teen out of twenty complaints of so-called so-called '"Carburator Trouble" the Carburetor Car-buretor is not at fault, but in case it is, its common faults are as follows: Cause (1) "Carburetor flooding" can only be due to a punctured float, or a to a lurge piece of dirt or sedi-, ment lodged in the float needle seat, i These cases are very rare indeed, and the carburetor should be taken to a service station for examination and i repair.. Cause (2) "Slow Leakage" is usually usu-ally due to a small piece of lint or sediment lodging in the needle valve Beat. If leakage is serous, remove nut on top of, float chamber, and rotate needle with finger while bearing down lightly against the seat. If this doe not help, tap down lightly on top of ! needle with a piece of wood, rotating needle in different positions between taps. If this does not remove the trouble a new needle seat should be , fitted at the nearest service station. . I Cause (3) "Outside of Carburetor I Becoming Wet With Grease.)" This, i trouble is experienced with gasoline j ! containing very low grade elements, I Which climb up on the carburetor i walls by the action of surface tension, I but dre not sufficiently volatile o evaporate. The only remedy for this Is better gasoline. . ; A few rules which, if followed, will eliminate 95 per cent of "so-called" J carburetor troubles: !.,(a) Spark plugs must be freeof carbon. Terminal points should have 0.20" to .028" gap approximately the thickness of a thin dime, in case of a miss at wide open throttle look carefully care-fully for a crack in the porcelain. (b) Ignition should be properly timed when no one cylindsr is on tp center the breaker points should be just starting to break with spark lever in full retard position. A good average adjustment of the break gap is .018" maximum opening. Breaker ; points should be clean and have flat surface ' wiring, system should' be ! clean from chafed spots where short circuit might take place. ' (c) ilntake manifold leaks: Entire passage from carburetor to motor ' should be air tight with no leaks from i loose flange connections, thin valve guides, nor from primers or other a& cessories attached to the manifold. To I test for a air leak, drop some gasoline on suspected point when the motor Is running. If operation of motor is affected, af-fected, a leak exists. ' ' I (d) Compression of motor must be good, i. e., there should be no cn-slderable cn-slderable leak through the valves or past piston rings, and motor should "rock" several times when cranked i with the hand starting crank. There should be enough clearance between valves and tappets to Insure fiat valves do not hold open when they ; should be closed. Proper tappet adjustment ad-justment is usually given in Instruction Instruc-tion book furnished with car. (e) Gasoline tank , vacuum tank and gasoline line should be kept clean free from water and dirt. 1 f) Cylinder head should be free of carbon. . SCHOQOEWS (Continued from Page One.)
