Trouble is frequently experienced In

to the fact that the engine la cold

bureter to do Its work of mixing prop

work wonders with the most refrac

Fully 10,000 persons witnessed the

Manager Walter C. Martin of the Ca
dillac company of New York returned
last week from a short trip to the fac
tory at Detroit and reported that the
factory is behind over 800 orders on the
two . models of small cars. Although
the Cadlllao factory is the largest
plant in the world devoted to the man
ufacture of automobiles,' employing
over 3000 hands, and has , lately been
greatly enlarged, yet so gTeat is the
demand that they cannot ' catch up
with the orders. ■.'.•"' ■■
' The sales of the $750 runabout have
Increased 40 per cent over last -year,
and the factory Is turning them out,
together with the" light' touring; cars,
at the rate of fortyrtwo per. day. After
May 1 the capacity of the factory will
be six four-cylinder cars daily. . ' :'
Thus far. Mr. Martin .has been .very
fortunate in obtaining his shipments of
cars, which have ■ been | received reg
ularly and little delay on this score is
anticipated. The small single-cylinder
Cadillacs are keeping up their remark
able performs rices of dolngr stunts equal
to many cars of higher price.' . One of
these cars has made the run. from New
York to Boston In twelve -hours. A
speed~ef a mile In 1 minute 7-4-5 sec
onds has been attained.
With good compression and satisfac
tory ignition motors ■will pull up to
their form provided the carbureter Is,
right. At times when running light a
motor will turn splendidly, and engage
it to the load and It falls to respond.
It Is a, pjre^ty sure guesft that 'the car
bureter is, at .faultTwhen/!\the above
symptoms develop. .The reason ,':tb*>
motor iriay run well ;, without, a' load Is
due to the fact that when there is no
load it has nothing to overcome except
its overweight ' and freedom, ■so ' that
a very small supply of explosive mix
ture will keep It running. A gasoline
motor Is something like a man— both
must be well fed to get the best re
sults out of them. . ;
It la bad enough to have water mixed
with the gasoline In the tank, but usu
ally enough ; gasoline gets to the car
bureter to do the work. A worse trou
ble comes during cold snaps, when the
water freezes and particles of ice close
the outlet, ports or hold the float fast.
It is unsafe, of course, to use flame for
the ice. Hot water and warm rags are
the -best remedies for this trouble.
Spark plugs occasionally fall for no
discoverable cause, whether from elec
trical leakage' or a very slight deposit
of carbon, or perhaps from some mo
lecular • change 'In • the porcelain insu
lating medium. The only remedy is
to discard the troublesome plug or fit a
new one. ' '
Before taking the car out of "cold
storage" and filling up the tanks for
the first time be sure that none of the
pipes are clogged. .The lubricating oil
pipes are apt to be clogged with oil and
there is also a possibility of the gaso
line pipes and the circulating system
being partly stopped up.

The use of. tar as. a dust preventive
has not proved an unmixed blessing in

ing the tendency to side slip, it is re
ported. The tar-treated surface, while
highly , satisfactory in the summer
season, I seems to bo a. failure in wet

It is not "trade talk" by any means
when it is said that the makers of the
highest grade cars cannot make as
many as they can sell. There Is no
doubt about the demand for the best
American cars exceeding the supply.
Both the \Locomoblle and the Pierce
plants are being enlarged j this year,
and other concerns-making cars of the
highest grade are contemplating simi
lar moves., ' •""••; " ;
It seems, as if the proper enterprise
and patriotism have arrived.' when it

Special 'to The Herald.- ■ " \ •
PIiAINFIELD, N. J., 'May 6.—
Plainfleld Is full of a black cloud, and
the ■ black cloud is streaked " with a
thousand rainbows, more or less,
thanks to the coming" of the members
of the Church of God and Saints of
Christ, the negroes who think that
they are the only real Jews, and have
gathered for the passover, which they
began yesterday with ' a street parade
In seven colors, In 'which : everybody
participated but the seven elders, who
had been assigned by Elijah " the
Prophet to cook the • lamb . that was
eaten/ at midnight . last ■ night in , Re
form hall, on Second street. '
.'After the parade there was a feast
in the 'Wilderness.' the same hall serv
ing: for the time being for the Wilder
ness. Everybody ate ,what he or she
liked,, because It was the: last meal
before going, to the diet of water and
unleavened bread at midnight
It was William fi. Crowdy, now Eli
jah,,, the chief prophet, who discovered
that; all. other black men ■ were Jews
and 'the missing nine ; and a' half
tribes. Before he became* a prophet
Crowdy . was a ■. cook on the Lacka
wanna railroad and presided over the
galley end . of a dining 'car— and ■: he
had a vision right In the oar as'the
train was rolling out of lloboken one
day. He can't tell of that vision ju»t
now himself,' as ' explained'' in Kzekiel
01UJ 88. '. but; he . put forward , Joseph
Crowdy, who, «« the chief evangelist,
Is his spokesman.
"The Jews .were black," said .the
chief evangelist today» "and bo we are
the real Jews. What does Jeremiah
t&yi. In the eighth chapter, . twenty
first veree. Jeremiah says: 'For the
hurt of the daughter of my people am
I hurt; I am black, astonishment has
taken hold on me.' ' If .'Jeremiah Isn't
Rood enough authority see what Solo
mon says in his very first song, verses
five and six: 'I am black, but comely,
0 ye daughter of Jerusalem, a* the
tents .of Kedar, as the curtains .of
Solomon. Look not ' Upo n; me because
1 am black, because the sun hath
looked 'upon me.'."
It was between mouthfula at the
feast -In the Wilderness : that Chief
Evangelist Crowdy, who flsf Is Joseph,
son of Jacob, told why he and all of his
race were Jews.. He, was- helped out
In his nacratlve! by his grandfather
Abraham, known In the profane world
as William Plummer and by grand
mother Sarah, ■".' whose • folks ; always
thought she was Martha Butler. Grand
father Abraham wore a triangular
mortnr-l>oanl cap. The three points of
the crown, he said, meant Father, Son
and Holy Ghost. Grandmother Sarah
had on a scarlet crown. \
"Didn't Moses put his hand in his
bosom arid take.lt out white 7" asked
Sarah, "and If It was white when he
took It out, wasn't It black when he
put.lt In? It- surely was, and so
Moses was a black man."
BIG TREE REFUSES TO FALL
Trunk Sawed Through, but It Cannot
Be Shoved Off the
Btump
Special to The Herald."
OXFORD, Pa., May 6.— A giant
chestnut tree sawed entirely through
but still standing and refusing to fall,
even when wedges and a block and
tackle were applied to It, was a won
der which drew crowds of visitors to
the farm of James Paxson, near White
Rock.
This tree Is an enormous chestnut
and measures eight feet across the
butt. It was struck by lightning about
a year ago and showed signs of rotting,
so that J'axson decided to cut It down.
A gang of men was put to work on it
and after considerable difficulty sawed
entirely through the trunk.
i Instead or falling, as. wan expected,
the tree - remained standing <iv its
stump and no amount of prying. served
to bring it down. It remained there for
nearly a week. Finally a heavy wind
storm blew it over. '
The tree is believed to have been the
largest in this section and many pieces
of it have been carried off as souvenirs.

Saturday night, according to the story
he told the detectives yesterday. Young
was taken to the receiving hospital in
a state of collapse and . the police sur
geons at once saw that the man ! had
been drugged.' <
■ He admitted that he drank heavily
during the evening and when he' retired
was under the Influence of liquor. . The
next, thing that he, remembers, he said,
was awaking from a state of stupor
to find a pillow bound tightly over his
face. ■
He struggled to rise from the bed,
but was unable. His struggles at
tracted attention of the night clerk who
soon appeared in the room, i
Money Gone
An investigation showed that Young's
trunk had been broken open and nearly
*150 In gold taken from It. ■ Several
small coins lay scattered on the floor.
' The robber ■ saturated a towel with
chloroform and placed it on the face
of the victim and then bound a pil
low over the towel. Owing to Young's
condition, he did not awaken, although
an attempt to administer an anesthetic
almost always awakens a sleeping sub
ject, it is said.
Young was found " to be In a pre
carious . condition and was hurried to
the receiving hospital. „ Hard work on
the part of the police surgeons brought
him out of his stupor.
Detectives Boyd and Jones were de
tailed on the case to find out with
whom Young was drinking Saturday
night. i
A. theory, was advanced that som<!
casual acquaintance administered the
chloroform In a glass of beer and then
accompanied Young to his room.
The police say. that genuine eases of
chloroforming persons for the purpose
of robbing them are rare. The work
was evidently done by a professional,
say the detectives, and suspicion is di
rected to a San Francisco crook, who
is said to be In the city. .

NEVERENDING WASTE OF FUEL
Geological Survey Experts Show That
There Is Immense Loss
of Coal
Special to The Herald.
' "WASHINGTON, D. C, May «.—Be
cause of the coal strike some of L the
opinions of the geological survey,re
garding the waste of fuel in this coun
try are interesting. In a recent report,
after showing that the. people of this
country expended . approximately $1,
500,000,000 for fuel for the production
of heat, light and power last year, the
experts of the survey say: .
"The losses In the utilization of fuel
for the development of power, light and
heat under existing ■ conditions are > so
great that in a ton of coal consumed
in an ordinary manufacturing plant
less than 5 per cent of the total energy
is available for the actual work of
manufacturing; that in an ordinary lo
comotive only from 3 to 5 per cent of
the fuel energy Is obtained for pulling
the train; that in our houses ordinar
ily not more , than ■ one-seventh of 1
per cent of the fuel energy is actually
transformed Into electric, i light; that
gases from the blast furnaces of -the
country are now lost •in ■ the atmo
sphere that would yield ' continuously,
if properly utilized, more : than 2,500,
000 horse power, and that by-products
might be saved from the 40,000,000 tons
of- coal which we now icon vert- Into
coke that would have an > aggregate
yearly value much; greater: than that
of the coke Itself. ■ These by-products
would include ammonium sulphate suf
ficient to fertilize our farms,- creosote'
for the preservation of our timber,' and
pitch enough for brlqnettlng our. slack
coals, roofing our houses and repairing
some of our roads. : v / ■
"How appalling • that such ' waste
should continue after we know that it
exists! Unfortunately, it is not al
ways clear even to those who best.un
derstand the nature and uses of coal
how such economies « may be effected."
No methods,- for •' instance, are known
by. which more than one-sixth of, the
nitrogen in ' coal ; can be saved in the
manufacture of coke. ' There Is no sub
ject touching the welfare of the human
race on whlch'research is more needed
than economy in the use of fuel."-, -
