Carrying a total appropriation of.
$::.l .Ti.TirSTSo the revenue bill for
the year was introduced Thursday
evening in the House.r A tax levy
pf eight and three-quarters mills is
•provided for, which is only one-quar-
ti-r of a mill more than last >«*ar.
There are a number of ma’tters in
the bill, hcfwever, which will be the
subject of strenuous efforts for
changes, ^nd the final bill may' be
very unlike the one proposed.
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.

their license for 1918 the highway
departintmt states that a supply of t
application blanks for 1918 have
been forwarded to every dealer in
the State, and also a supply has
been sent to the clerk j of court of
every county. Owners_can obtain

or to the clerks of court, and thus
save considerable time, hs in most
cases they can obtain the necessary

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.
