The New York Tribune and the New York Times, and two editors of each newspaper, were charged with criminal libel in indict ments found by the grand jury yes terday, on complaint of Mrs. W. H. Hearst. She said the newspapers had cast aspersions on her loyalty. all credit for th introduction of tlu) pneumatic tire in connection with mod ern vehicles should be given to Dr. Duulop, the Irish veterinary surgeou, who revised tine paeumatic tire, and who was granted a patent for his inven tion, which was later held invalid be cause of the priority of Thompson's claims. To this day Dunlop tires are the only ones manufactured in England and Messrs. DuCross control its desti nies. With these tires as the first Btep the tiro industry took a quick leap forward and soon this country led the world in quality and quantity of production. The three American companies which quick ly gained dominance were Morgan & Wright, the G. & J. Tire company and the Hartford .Rubber Works company, which today are three of the great au tomobile .tire producing factorios in tho United States Tire company's system. It is reported, the Port Umpqua Cour ier says, that all arrangements hav.e been made toward establishing a bank in Keedsport, and the only thing hold ing back the proposition is tho niattor of building material, which wil be on hand soon.

The crossing has knit our men closely, and I feel that I know nearly every passenger aboard. 1'or the most part we are married men. Tho average age would be about 3(5. Many have made great sacrifices of salary and responsibility. Among us are several presidents of corporations, the managing editor of a national maga zine, the secretary of a great national society, many retail business properties the attorney of a big city commis sion, several ministers and college pro fessors and one politician who has held high office. Each is ready to take anj job, large or small, that may be a signed to him in Paris. We have all gone to school daily on the boat. Tho classes start at 9 a. m. and run continually up to 6 p. m. A sea voyage is usually a lazy trip, but not this one. Oiw chief instructor, Arthur Eudman, a real big man, has been with our army wherever it has been at war since 1898. lie knows his soldier as he knows his Bible, from cover to cover. He is an up standing, four square, warm-blooded man a man's man, and yet one who makes no compromises with evil. Bud man never hesitates to call a thing by its right name. He is rosourccful and uncannily wise with men. The soldier boys com,, for his advice because they want it, aud there is many a happy home iu tho U. S.

No man could travel iu this company and worry about submarines, mines or shells Tho pervading spirit in work hours is earnest faith. In tho few play hours this changes to gaiety. We nil seem to fe?l confident that we will bo spared for our work, but if not, God's will be done. True, some canny folks havo rented at 3 for the trip thoso patent floating suits made on the prin ciple of tho thermos bottlo, but of fear there is none apparent. Every evening there is a concert, we have readings, fino baritone or tenor so lo?, recitations and a sprinkling of com oily. This crowd ceuld put on a good show anywhere on Bhnrt notife. We near Frano0 filled with enthus iasm for our work. . LaFctae May Run; Scott For County Judge It is reported upon good authority that Hon A. M. LaFollette of Salem will be an independent candidate for state senator this fall and that a lot of earnest work is being done in the county in his behalf. Mr. LaFolktte, it is said, decided to come out independent after much urging on the part of his friends. He was a candidate before the primaries and was defeated only by a small majority. He received democratic votes enough, however, to nominate him on tho democratic ticket, but cannot ac cept that nomination, if he would. Sine.) the primary election, it is learn ed, some things have cotno to light which will have a tendency to give Mr, LaFollette strength as an independent candidate, and it Is believed by many that he will be elected at the general election in November. He will doubtless get a big vote from the democratic party at the general election, which did not count for him at the primary elec tion. Another possible candidate who is be ing stronglv urged now is lion. John II. Scott of Salem for county judge. Sil- vfirton Tribune. MONET LOANED TO GREECE. occupied by pickers. A party of 45 grade teachers of Port land will arrive Monday and will oc cupy the Gervais City Hall during the picking season. Each member of the party is to bring with her, bedding, a plate, knife, fork, spoon, cup, bowl, towels, a disn towl and plenty of soap. They are urged to wear coveralls or overalls and a dark Waist and bring with them at least two pair of shoes. Miss McGregor will be the "boss" of the party. More may be added to this party before they leave. The berries are exceedingly fine this year and the pickers ought to make good wages. Gervais Star. St. Johns Mill Is Forced to Close Down Portland, Or., June 22. The St. Johns Lumber company mill employing a force of 250 men has been' closed down. The action was taken, it is und'J' stood on orders from Colonel Disqus, commanding the spruce production division of the signal corps. Neither Disque nor the company's manager would comment, but from un official sources it was learned the mill had not conformed with certain regula tions insisted upon by the government, including the ei;;ht hour day, and that it has been paying higher wages than the scale fixed by the government. Austria's Internal Situation Is Desperate Washington, June 22 Appeal to the working classes of Vienna to make en ergetic protestation for peace was published by the Arbeiter Zeitung, French cables today stated. The agitation was reported growing rapidly among tho lower classes. Socialist papers wero outspoken in their condemnation of the government. With 50,000 persons rioting in Vien na and suburbs demandine oeace and bread, the internal condition is rapidly becoming worse. ;; MM MM ii Hints for the Motorist I By Albert L. Clough tg?7 I MMMMMMt M-f MtMMMMM MMMMmT 'pyrigM, 1D1S, fty The International Syndicate. To Prevent Stalling Of The Engine. HB UNINTENDED STOPPING of an auto engine while under load, a known as "stalling," Is always Irritating to a motorist but especially B to one whose fiiglne has to be cranked by hand. Like most evils In connection with motoring it Is especially likely to occ;ttr in winter, when engines are started and run much of the time, very cold.' Stalling may be occasioned by some fault In the engine, such as Ignition Irregulari ties or especially by a lack of properly proportioned and vaporized mixture in the cylinders. It is this latter cause which makes engines stall so easily when cold. Stalling also occurs when a load is put upon an engine that is too heavy for it to carry. This occurs if the clutch acts harshly or is engaged too suddenly, when the engine has not been previously speeded up and the throttle not opened sufficiently after the clutch is in and when an attempt is made to start a car without having rele'ased the brakes. The liability of stalling can be much reduced by feeding the engine gasoline somewhat In excess of its normal requirements, until it becomes warm, by insuring an unfailing spark, by keeping the clutch In condition for gentle .nsragemnit and by letting It In gradually, while opening the throttle ia proportion to the power which Is to be called for. If stalling does occur, ' care should be taken that the car is thrown out of gear before an attempt is made to re-start the engine, in order that the person cranking It may not be hurt nor the starting motor injuriously overloaded, as the case may be. I'SKD CAR PROULEM. y W. H. do M. writes: I have been looking about for a used car and am offered two cars of the Washington, .Tune 22.

"JOURNAL WANT ADS SELL 'make, both apparently In good con dition. One Is their large model and the other is their smaller one. Both are of seven passenger ca pacity, of the same year and I can buy thorn at about the same figure, although the former Is roomier, con siderably higher powered and, I be lieve, nior comfortable. Which la the better buy? Answer: This depends upon whether economy of operation or (he ownership of a big, roomy car Js of the greater consequence to you. It the former is the more im portant consideration, we advise you to choose the smaller car, for we believe that its tire and fuel expense would bo very considerably lower than those of the larger car. Heavy, high powered cars are, at present, less In demand In the sec ond hand market than light cars the fact that you can buy the higher priced of these two cars for the seme money asked for the lower orlced one being an Indication of tA.'s condition. If cost of operation Is an entirely secondary point with rou, and you wish for something Im posing In appearance and perhaps more comfortable, we advise you to buy the big car. KXGIXE MISSES AT FULL THROTTLE. A. L. asks: What causes my en gine to miss explosions when .the throttle is wide open, although it runs perfectly regularly when I cut down the gas supply? , . I Ltit PIgD Answer: Aside from the possi bility that the engine does not get a combustible mixture at wide throt tle, while it does when the throttle is only partly opened, the most likely reasons are the following: The gaps between the spark-plug points may have become too wid, due to the burning away of the metal, unde which conditions the spark, whila able to pass between the points at low throttle and hence at moderate compression, may not be able to pas through the highly resistant ga present at the spark gap at full throttle and maximum comDreasion. The voltage of your sparking di charge may have become reduced through some such cause as th weakening of the magneto magnet or the reduction of the period of contact of the make-and-break de vice, through wear of the point Perhaps the sparking current leaka from the cables through faulty In sulation a defect which would man liest itself especially when the plug were under full compression. .
