We give below a statement«of the sums provided, for in the various sections of the* bill. Some interest ing appropriationrs do not appear in thi^ brief statement, however. For example, under the head of “Adju tant General’s ^ifice” is included provision of the equipment and or ganization of the new regiment of State troops. $45,000 is provided for that purpose, .which is less than requested originally, and even this will he opposed by some members of the House.

Carburetor Troubles Due To Wear. * T FIRST THOUGHT It would seem thrtf the carhurcror should tot- ttc shbjcct 16 derangement from wear, but such is not the case, for its moving parts are almost constantly tn action while it is in use Carburetors, the needle valve adjustment of which is automatically, regtil&ied in accordance with the throttle position are quite subject ; to ^getting out cf adjustment thrcimh wear of the rather delicate parts, that -m*Aye-the needle valve Methaivfcajiy regulated carburetors, irTNilUch the -.air supply is vai i* d with throitl* inov» in. nt. change: in ad VJSUuefn wi;h the wear of*the linkage which conveys the movement. ' Th"e r act ion of automatic air valves is, in time, likely to be<?om<? deranged by ebangex in the power of the springs which net to ient tham arid by wear of .their stems or guides which results in their st eking or failing tc seat properly. Even the’throttle vaJve, which ij almost constantly changing Its petition while a car is on the road, is subject to wear between its stem and the stem bearings, which may^not only result in irregular throttfe action, but in the unlntintional admission of air into th* mixture, which prermts regu-ST engine operaticn at low idling speeds. This latter trouble is prevented lir carburetors which have ’’blind’’ bearings for the throttle valve. The link ages which convey the motion from the throttle lever and from the accel erator (foot throttle) to the throttle valve, unless kef t well lubricated'at their joints and free from locseness will cause irregularities in throtrtv control, particularly in the Idling speed of the engine. Sometimes tbe spring .which returns the acceleration'to its position of rest becomes so weak or clogged with dirt that the throttle vaive Is not always returned to the same pcsition of closure and fthe engine’s idling §.»ee<l becomes quits uncertain. The fewer moving, parts there are about a catburrtor the less change-there is likely to be in its action as the result of long continued use and thus one that has little mechanism and still gives a suitable mix ture, under all conditions, is most to be pn-ferred After two or three years of use, at thekiost, there are generally carburetor parts which require to be replaced burfnost likely by that time there will have h*n t-npmv* menu, made which make it more advisable to purchase a c mpirte nev carburetor. One thing which should be carefully looked aft*r Is the tight ness of the connection between the carburetor ard intake pipe fhn *>. Thl» la packed by m^ans ot-a gasket of paper or other mverial. and If tlr flung* bolts become l(K«e, an Hr leak will disturb the ngulurlty of action of tbo engine, especially at low throttle openings. res»ou for p'lytnu for th* ettra (read ritht**f forn.«he«i in anti-aind Him Thu i* entirvlj ...t ttmu th* ii'# ,tf non -kid tire* up 7 ** the Tim* wh«n their tre*4* beeoni* pra tioul* IN PHU ■ •' 6* *ek%; In )Ui.f op.nioa. la ’be pn*v of -gmaolin* likeijr to In* rr rs«*- Hi u• h |t» | r *« n» potuC ■rr • ..m /Mut* wunshou** mtimbm •• Ami* board of rliurl- He* and corrections..
