The child labor amendmer.i is des- tined to put an end to the practico of working small children lonj hours :n industry. It would levy p. special ac ditional tax of 10 per cent of the en tire net profit of the pravioiu taxable year upon every person, firm -or corporation-operating (a) an mine or quarry in which children under ihe ago of sixteen years have b.3i employed or permitted to work during any por- ! tion of the taxable year; or (b) any mill, cannery, worksnop, or manufac turing establishment in which chil dren under the age of fourteen years aave been employed or permitted to work; or children between the age of fourteen and sixteen have been em- pioyea or permitted to work more than eight hours in each day, or more than six days in any week, or after the hour of seven o'clock p. m., or oe fore the hour of six o'clock a. m. The first taxable year for the pur pose of this provision of the War Kc venue Bill will be the period between sixty days after the passage of the aci and December 31, 1913. Tiiis meana that North Carolina concerns are poo:: to be visited by Federal Inspectors unless the present General Assembly places the State in a position to attend to its own affairs.

One of the most impor- ? tant measures before it is a bill re- be no justification for taxing wage and r-r In wit innAman n n I OVflmnflTiCT Vl Q 1 ficient revenue to take the place of the ties and the municipalities and the public scnools, we believe it will meet the highest public approval. . a nnrnnee, nf thp T.Pjrisla.tnre to continue the old assessment of real estate for the year 1919 so as to give plenty of time to have the reassess ment made in the most thorough wa3" to assure a just and accurate result, and the new assessment will not be used until 1920, and then only after all tax rates have been made to con- ough way, but the public may be well assured that it is not going to levy; burdensome tax rates. In the revenue bill introduced in the House this week the State tax levy for public schools is increased, to 32 cents, in the inter est of providing for the six months of school, ''but the amount of the increar.es in this levy by the State for the schools is taken from the State's levy . . . X for its own use in maintaining inu State Government and its institutions. and this tax for the use of the State is reduced to 11 2-3 cents. This re duction is made possible by the in creased revenue the State is now re ceiving from inheritance, franchise, privilege and license taxes Fjord and Farewell. The word "fjord" comes from the Old Norse, survives in the modern words "firth" and "frith," i3 connect- ed with the English "fare," meaning to tiavel, and nsed in the word "farewell," and meant, most prob ably, in the first instance, says the j author of "Norwegian Pictures,"-water safe for navigation on account of its sheltered position.

' i IstiHation Tests of Lubricant Ulade by Engineer of Na tional Reputation. GASOLil'E m LEAKED OUT Figures Given Should Form Illuminat i ing Comment on Troubles Motor- ists Are Having Difficulty Solved In Two Ways. f ' An engineer of national reputation, y?ho has been making distillation tests of lubricant taken from the crankcases f motorcars, reports in one typical case that 45 per cent of the supposed ioil in the crankcase was nothing more nor less than gasoline which had not been consumed and had leaked down past the pistons. Only 37 per cent iof good lubricating oil was found oil that is really suited for lubrication of the cylinder walls and piston rings. Nor was this a neglected car. The oil had been in the crankcase only nine days and a grade of gasoline testing 58 Baume had been used. The test figures were checked by a government chemist and are incontro vertible. They should form an illumi nating comment on the trouble motor ists are having in these days of low gravity fuels. - . Solving Difficulty. The difficulty, say the experts, Is to be solved only in two ways--more fre quent changing of the oil in the crank case and greater care In the purchase and use of low grade or "stale" gaso line. "It is not uncommon," says the edi tor of Motor Age, f or a car to start tm a tour with the gasoline tank filled with a good grade of gasoline and run beautifully for the first two days, per haps, r until a fresh supply of gaso line is taken on at some small out-of-town garage or country store. Then, before long, a noticeable loss of powei manifests Itself in the engine. H There is nothing more distressing than the gloom of Impending engine trouble. So, think of the gasoline first and you may find the source of that power loss. The trouble caused by poor gasoline is an illusive one and generally gives the Inexperienced op erator no end of perplexity in laying his hands on the difficulty. Facilitate Starting. "In trouble of this kind, to facilitate Starting, one should drain a half to a cupful of gasoline from the float cham ber of the carburetor. This will re move water and dirt if It is that which is giving trouble. "The operation should be followed by priming the cylinders with gasoline and then holding a cloth saturated with gasoline over the air . intake ; of the carburetor while the starter is op erated. If the engine runs with power on the priming mixture and then dies down to less power wThen the tank gas oline is being used, it is well to as sume that the trouble is within the gasoline itself, and the remedy is to re place the gasoline immediately. If this is not possible, change the carburetor mixture for more gas until a new sup ply4s available." y Dirt Causes Valve Leak. k If dirt once makes its way into the Valve stem a leak Is almost certain tc result.

FILLING BATTERY TOO FULL As Bad as Not Putting in Any Water, as Overflow Runs Into Bottom, Eating It Out Filling your battery too full is as bad as not putting any water into it at all. . When the cells are too full, rough riding or a rapid charging of the bat tery due to long sustained or rapid driving forces the electrolyte to over flow and run down into the bottom of the battery box. It is only a short time until the acid fluid will eat the bottom out. The motorist should keep in mind that while it is pure distilled water he puts into the cells, It is not water, but diluted acid that overflows. This acid will corrode both wood and steel. In filling the battery cover the plates with about a half inch of water. More than this is unnecessary. This depth will allow for the movement of elec trolyte caused by rough driving or rapid charging. PIPE EXHAUST FROM GARAGE Old Drain Pipe Is Used for Purpose cf Carrying Off Unpleasant or Dangerous Fumes. Asphyxia caused many deaths In garages before it became generally known that a garage mus.t be well ven tilated and the doors left open if the automobile engine is kept running any length of time, writes P. P. Avery in Popular Science Monthly. One owner Old Drain Pipe on Garage Flor Car ries Off Poisonous Gases From Auto mobile Engine. j of a private garage avoided the neces- ! sity of keeping the doors open by piping the exhaust outside, as shown in the illustration. An old drain pipe was used for the pfurpose. It was con nected In such a way that when the ; automobile was backed into the ga rage the-end of the exhaust pipe en tered the end of the drain pipe. This led down to the floor, where a long piece ran through the wall to the out side and carried all unpleasant or dan gerous fumes to the outside, leaving the" interior free from the poisonous carbon monoxide gas. ONE WHEEL BECOMES LOCKED Trouble Is Due to Fact That There Is .Too Much Play in Brake Link ageHow to Remedy. The owner who is not diligent and neglects the parts he does not see or which do not give trouble usually may find some time that upon starting one of the wheels becomes locked, even though the brake pedal and lever are free. This Is due to the fact that there Is so much play in the brake linkage that when the hand brake lever Is released it merely takes up the play, leaving the unlubricated mechanism set in holding position. This happened recently, and a ham mer had to be used to loosen the brake mechanism. If you should have fuel feed trouble which you cannot explain it may be caused by pieces of solder In the gas tank. !
