SUICIDES ON INCREASE
Self Destruction Wave Sweeping Over
World Since War.
A known total of 3,121 deaths by
suicide occurred in this country In
1919. reports the Save-a-Llfe league
of New York, which strive-) to prevent
suicide. Of these 3.212 were masculine
and 1.909 feminine. There were 47
child suicides, 225 boys nnd 252 girls
The average age was 15 for Imys ami
16 for girls. The youngest gi.l suicide
Following are a number of useful
points that all good motorists will be
clad to learn:
When the engine, after being start
ed, runs for a minute or two snd then
stops. the first place to look for t rou
ble is In the gasoline feed tine. A
partial stoppage in the pipe will loa
sen the flow of fuel so that the float
chamber tills slowly. On being started
the motor at once consumes this gaso
line and then has to wait for more.
There is another possible cause of this
trouble, and that ia the float of the
carburetor sticking. Of course. If the
float is stuck In u high position the
flow of fuel will be greatly lessened
or even stopped.
Use for Old Files.
Occasionally It t>econies necessary
for the man who operates his own car
to file a piece of cast iron that has
been subjected to friction and has ac
quired a glassy surface of "skin." The
best way to get through this skin is
to use the edges of an old file, as
using a good file on such surfaces will
spoil It.

Sometimes an tnner tube receives

the bucket of water tells the tale at

way of locating the leak Is to Inflate
the tube and hold successive portions
of It close down to the dust along
the surface of the road. Whet, the

Cause of Knocking.
In motors with detachable yllnder
heads great care should be taken to
see that the gasket used to pack the
Joint does not project into tin- combus
tion chamber. When Ibis occurs the
gasket Is likely to become incandes
cent, causing preignition knocks and
even back-firing in the carburetor.
