.BEAR|NGS0F WHEELS
SHOULD Be WATCHED
Periodical Examination to Pre-
vent Undue Wear will Repay
Motorist.

Few. II any. motorists take the trouble
to periodically examine the wheel bear
ings, and when II is done il is too late.
Recently an owner complained that
his car, when operated at fifteen miles
an hour or under. acted as If one Of
the tires were Debated, yet the tires
were properly pumped 10 the required
pressure. The condition was akgravat-
ing. but allowed TO go on because it
was not noticeable when the car was
travelling over fifteen miles per hour.
and most Of the driving was done above
that speed
II developed. however that the cups
of the front wheel bearings were re
volving 10 the wheel hub, causing 'hem
to wear. Both front wheels exhibited
side play between them and the spin
die md when lacked up the wheels
were side slapping. and the tires were
being ground against the road. thus
Causing rapid wear
In most present-day cars the front
wheel bearings are adjustable and they
should be watched and inspected peri
odically. The time required to adjust
a cup and cone or tapered roller bear
ing is hardly worth considering and
the effort will be well worth while. The
cup Of the bearing must not revUlve
with the wheel but must remain in
fixed position and should il revolve
II Will wear the wheel hub, perhaps &C.
Centricelly, which appears 10 have been
the case above mentioned.
In adjusting the front wheel bearings
the wheel nut usually is made 70 take
up play. The nut should be tightened
until the wheel binds and then the
nut should he turned back far enough
to allow the wheel to turn freely.
Another thing IN connection with
wheel hearings Is that they often are
required to operate without proper
lubercation. They may operate for n
long time without replenishmcnL bIt

Exports Please Business Men.
Export operations provide the most
optimistic aspect OF the business situa-
tion in this country, and have helped
wonderfully to cheer business men.
The varying volume Of bank clearinss
reflect with q fair degree of accuracy
the trend OF industry and commerce In
the week ended Thursday night bank
clearinss in this country were sh per
cent greater than in the preceding week.
the total being s.. 729. 751 900.
Outside Of New York. the amount of
business transacted, as indicated by
bank clearinfs. was 1874 per cent
greater than in the preceding week
The influence of export demand for
American commodities and Of a return
of confidence is clearly shown.
Among the important results of the
European conflict has been immense d.
version to this country of orders from
Norway and Sweden for wheat, rye.
and other foodstufrs which formerly
went to Russia The enormous wheat
exports from southern Russia to north
ern Europe naturally have ceased.
The port of New York, say steamship
men, Is making immense gains as a
point OF trans-shipment In supplying
Scandinavia. As an example, Brazil's
coffee now comes to New York for such
trans-shipment, whereas formerly II
would have gone direct to Havre, Rot
terdam. and Hamburg. to be thence car
ried after trans-shipment to Scandi-
navia.

TIRE CAN Be TAKEN
OFF WITHOUT JACK

What would you do il you were drfv-
ing along a country road and a tire
became fat and upon looking into the
tool box you found the jack was MISS
ing? You might wait for another no
borrow his jack, but II oftens happens
that no car will pass your way for
hours.
Recently an owner drove over $50
miles without jack in the tool box
and did not find it out until he had a
blowout two blocks from his garage.
Had the tire blown out on a country
road it would have meant much delay
and Inconvenience.
Two suggested methods for replacing
punctured or blownout tire without
the use Of jack are herewith given
Since the wheel must be raised from
the ground good way appears to be
that OF causing the wheel to rest upon
a rock sufficiently high to bring the
tire three or four inches above the
ground
Then while the wheel is resting on
the rock. fence rails logs of any kind,
bricks or anything with which a foun-
under the axle. This foundation should
be high enough so about half-inch
clearance is made between il and the
axle. Then. by kicking or hammering
tne rock from under the wheel the axle
will drop upon the buflt-up support. The
hand brake of course must be applied
so that the car will not
slide off the structure.
This appears to be possible method
Of retiring a wheel and its success will
depend largely upon the soundness OF
the foundation. for should II be weak it
will collapse under the heavy stress
Another method which appears. 70 be
Of value Is where a foundation is built
under the axle and sufficient clearance
allowed between il and the axle TO allow
of the end of lever being inserted.
The lever may be in the form Of the

From Chicago comes the report that
canning departments of the big meat
packing firms are now working full
time. In every way the meat industry
shows a natural growth compared with
a year ago, in addition to the activity
due TO heavy European emergency
orders
The Chicago stockyards orders are
said TO be mostly for timed goods made
up in standard sizes In accordance with
specifications from the military estab-
hshments of France. England. and even
Russia. Since the specifications vary
in a large measure from the custo-
ers. a great deal more work is re-
Quired to put out the orders.
Germany Is said to have placed large
orders for canned meats for military
use In the early days OF the war, but
