The Su preme Court today ordered a re-argument of proceedings instituted by the State of Virginia to compel West Vir ginia to pay a judgment of $12,393,000 resulting from a suit-to collect Nyir-. ginia's Civil War debt. The question of the court's power to enforce the judgment will be s pecially considered in the argument which will be heard next February. Jn announcing tnIs opinion, chief Jus- !tice Whke declared that under .he constitution there is no reason way j West Virginia should not pay the ju Ig- nent and if no effort Is made to nief ithe obligation that the court reserved the right to appoint a maser to in trcduce a financial system in West Virginia and its taxable resources with a view of enforcing judgment. ox-lead two cal ..

ABANDON SEARCH FOR CAPTAIN BARR (Special to The Dispatch). New Bern, N. C, April 22. A copy of a Greenville, S. C, newspaper re ceived here states that army officers at Camp Sevier, Greenville, S. C, have abandoned the search being made for Captain Albert L. Barr, who disappeared from that place sev eral weeks ago and that they are un able to explain the mystery surround ing the strange disappearance of the officer. Greenville has been thorough ly searched for Captain Barr and not a trace of him can be found. The search has been carried' on elsewhere but this also has not resulted in a success. Relatives and friends of the missing officer have no idea as to his present whereabouts or as to how and why he left the camp. GIVE EMPLOES OF CITY SUBSTANTIAL EOF E (Continud from Page One). Councilman Merritt told the board that many of the men are living from hand to mouth and that they could not be blamed for their action of the morning in accepting more remuner ative work and that one could not appeal to their patriotism In an ef fort to have them hang on to Jobs that pay less wages than they can get elsewhere. Councilman McCaig thought it best to give Councilman Bunting a free hand in running the street department until the mone necessary for the increased wage is available. He was inclined to thirik that this could be done by curtailing all unnecessary work and using the men who will not leave in the work that must be kept up. He stated that the city could not hope to compete with the shipyard In event it decid ed to continue boosting the wage scale: that all the city could do was pay the men . a wage sufficient to en able them to live with a degree of comfort to which they are entitled. . 1 Money to SAM HAS WAG liberty Bonds 11 C .L. Dkkinson WILMINGTON DISPATCH, MANY MOTOR PARTS DEMAND ATTENTION Expert Discusses Bearings, Their Uses and How to Protect Them , By H. Clifford Brokaw, Principal New York Y. M. C. A. Auto mobile School. Have you lost your bearings' This query has nothing to do with the road map or absence of one, but to a more essential element for the motorist. A bearing is a support for a moving member, so designed as to minimize friction and receive wear and to per mit of fine adjustment. On the en gine alone there are 102 bearings. This is figured on the average six cylinder motor, being: Six-Cylinder, 7 wrist pirn, 6 crank pin and main bearings, all of considerable size; 3 cam shaft, 12 cam, 12 push road, 12 valve stem, 2 fan, 2 water pump, 3 oil pump, 8 ignition, 6 sparit control, 6 carburetor control, 6 carburetor, 4 self-starter and 4 self-starter linkage hearings; total, 102. The cylinder and piston are not generally termed bearln?s, yet when you reflect on it they are the largest in the motor. Both parts are usually of cast iron, which gives compara tively long wear and in which the friction is not great if well lubricated. When wear does occur at this point it :'a necessary to rebore the cylin der and have a larger piston fitted. The crank pin bearings are usually in halves, the metal babbit or bronze surrounded by a steel strap or casing. Adjustment 'for wear is made by taking out thin sheets of metal, call ed shims, which ajlow the halves to be brought closer together. The main crank shaft bearings are of the same type. Cam shaft bearings usually are bushings which must be replaced when worn; cam follower bearings may be simple flat plates, resting di rectly upon the cam, or roller? run ning on a pin in the valve push rod. Wear usually is compensated for by adjusting screws on the push rods. The push rod guides are sometimes made by cast iron or other metal, with babbit or bronze or other bush ing form; they are to be replaced when worn. All of the bearings considered so far are cared for by the lubricating system of the engine, which start 3 operations when the engine starts to run; so long as oil is kept in the en gine they are quite certain to be tak en care of. Now we come to other? which require separate oiling. The fan bearings usually are of the ball type and lubricated with a squirt can, being almost always of the cup and cone type, they are adjusted by tightening the cone. Water pump bearings are lubricated by compres sion grease cups; when worn badly it is necessary to drive out the bush ings and replace them; generally the shaft also will need replacing. When this shaft becomes worn out or round no amount of tightening of the stuff ing box will prevent water from leak ing out. In the ignition system ball bearing.- usually are employed, with or without means of adjustment. These are lubri cated with an oil can or packet in grease. There is one bearing of the ignition system which is unique In that some manufacturers advise keep ing it free of lubricating substance of any kind. This Is the rocker aim of the interrupter on certain makes of magnetos. Other forms of inter rupters are so constructed that lubri cation is advisable. The carburetor air valve bearing operates better if not lubricated, but does wear and need replacing at times. The throttle bearings may be lubricated and would certainly wear longer if this were done, and it sel dom is. When they do wear, air is admitted which noticeable at low en gine speed, causing skipping and ir regular running. Then the holes in the casting must be enlarged and a larger shaft inserted. Throttle and spark ( control link age have a number of bearings, which may be of the steel ball and socket type, or a wire bent to fit in an eye. These pins should be lubricated fre quently with a squirt can. Usually they are not adjustable, so that parts must be replaced when they are bad ly worn. The self starter motor and generator usually are equipped with ball bearings and are lubricated with a quirt can. The other principal bearings are usually of ball or roller type, which sometimes are not adjutable. Usually quite full instructions for the care and replacement are given in the manu facturer's instruction book, which should be followed explicitly. In the steering gear there is a plain bronze bearing or bushing in which the shaft is set out of center, so that when wear occurs, by twisting the bushing, the sector of the steering , gear may be thrown deeper into mesh with the worm and take up the play. i In the transmission gear, in which all other bearings are of the bali or roller type, there will be found often a plain bearing on the forward end of the square or pointed shaft, called the pilot shaft bearing. This is one weak point in many otherwise satis factory transmissions. When this bearing wears the operation becorac-s noisy and the gears are difficult 1o shift. The transmission must be dis assembled, the bushing withdrawn and a new one pressed in. The universal joints of the propel ler shaft become very noisy when the bearings are worn.N In modern construction these bearings are in ths form of bushings, which may be re placed at small expense. The break linkage has many bearings, which ar clevis and pin. These are non-adjustable, and unfortunately, are not often lubricated. When wear occurs the holes may be drilled larger and larg er pins Inserted, or the parts may be replaced entire, . MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 22, 1918 JUST KIDS SOUTHPORT OFFERS THE GOVERNMENT Gift of Valuable River Front Property Tendered by Phillip Allen MAY BE USED FOR A COALING STATION Congressman Godwin Tender ed the Land for Allen to be Used as the Government May Desire Absolute ly Free (By George H. Manning.) Washington, D. C, April 22 One hundred acres of land in Southport along the banks of the Cape Fear river lying immediately within the town limits and above Southport were offered to the War Department, Navy Department and Shipping Board Saturday by Congressman Godwin, on behalf of Philip Allen, of Providence.

CHINA WORKING OUT HER OWN PROBLEMS A Pacific Port, April 22. China Is solving internal troubles and Japan will not interfere with Chinese affairs, declared K. DeBuchi, who is here to-; day on his way to Washington, to ; become secretary to the Japanese em ; bassy and who was first secretary of the Japanese legation at Peking. The internal troubles between North and South China have been grave" said DeBuchi, "but the menace of the Ger- mans in the West ssems to be aiding i in a consolidation of the peoples of China. Japan will not interfere with China. No other, government should. Ehere have been; men in JaJpan who have said Japan must settle China's troubles, but China is settling tLem.
