MOTOR WISDOM

1.-TWO effective ways of establishing
ownership of motor cars and discour-
aging thefts are being used by many
motorists. One is to have initials of
the owner cut in the headlight glass
The other is to brand the owners
mark in the tires.
There is now a running board, re-
frigerator with an ice capacity of 25
pounds, and compartment for food
and bottled goods.
A disappearing tonneau seat which
will carry an extra passenger and
folds out of the way when not in use
is inviting attention from discriminate
ing motorists. At present 1t is on
several of the higher grade cars.
, The particular male motorist may
now have fiat motor car toilet case.
The fiat shaving brush is quite as eff.
ficient as the round one, when one
learns how to use it.
Camp Cookery" is handy book
for those who carry cooking kit with
them and camp by the wayside.
For cool night travelling the most
comfortable innovation is llama hat,
in Tyrolean shape. A woven band
with a fluffy tassel makes good
trimming.

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT WEEP
Wise Man Says to Cry on Any Day In
Week Is Bad-RuIes No Good for
Older Boys and Girls.

There are millions Of children in the
world who want to do just the right
thing and the very best thing; but
they do not always know what just the
right thing is, and sometimes they can.
not tell the very best thing from the
very worst thing.
Now have often thought that there
are children who cry, now and then, at
the wrong time; and l have asked
many of the older people, but none OF
them could tell me the best time to
cry.
But the other day met man older
and wiser than any Of the rest. He
was very old and very wise. and he
told me:
1t is bad luck to cry on Monday.
To cry on Tuesday makes the eyes
red.
Crying on Wednesday is bad for chill.
dren's heads, and for the heads of
older people.
1t is said that If child begins to
cry on Thursday he will find it hard to
stop.
1t is not best for children to cry on
Friday--it makes them unhappy.
Never cry on Saturday-it is toe
busy day.
Tears shed on Sunday are salt and
bitter
Children should on no account cry
at night; the nights are for sleep.
They may cry whenever else they
please, but not at any of these times
unless it is for something serious.

Injured Bird Criticized Car

1t is difficult to bring in new story
on the small automobile topic, but here
is one imported from New York, and
has the appearance of a new one.
1t seems that a new owner of one
of the well-known small cars was rush
ing down the road in vain effort
to steer straight. A small chicken ran
across the road and was struck by
the off wheel of the little car. The
driver, with pity in his heart, stopped
the machine with grinding jerk and
looked around to see the corpse of the
fowl upon the road
Instead, the bird stood there revil-
ing him:
What made me sore,' said the man
in telling the yarn, was that the fool
bird looked at my car and said:
"'Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!'"

METHOD OF CAR PROPULSION
Seemingly Simple Things Which Many
Motor Car Owners Do Not
Appear to Know.

AS the rear wheels revolve they
must push the rest of the car along,
and if the rest of the car is not
fastened to the axles the wheels will
go along the road, leaving the rest
Of the car behind.
To make this clear: The frame, as
we know, supports the motor clutch
and gearset, and the springs are at
tached to the frame. The front and
rear axles are fastened to the springs
by what are called spring clips. II
the springs were not fastened and the
wheels given a sudden push, then the
wheels would move away from the
frame. But by fastening the springs
to the axles any revolution of the
rear wheels pushes the car along by
means of the springs.
In a number of instances springs
alone are not sufficient to push the
car along, SO designers have devised
other members.
These are called torsion rods, radius
rods and torsion tubes. These men,
bers, in conjunction with the springs.
push the car along the road, and they
do little more by keeping the rear
axle fixed distance from the clutch
and gearset. 1t Is clear that if the
rear axle moved away from and to-
ward the gearset or clutch the driv-
ing gears would drop out of mesh
and then come together which would
mean disaster for the gears. Also.
when the brakes are applied on the
rear wheels the tendency is for the
rear wheels and the rear axle to stop
and the frame and the rest of the car
to go ahead, due to inertia.
