Admiral Benson reminded the copven-

affected progress and preparedness of
the nations first line defense.

Vital Transportation Points.

1.-The vital points from which trans
portation must be secured were found
to be the great lakes, Schenectady,
Pittsburgh and vicinity, New Haven and
vicinity, Bethlehem and vicinity. Easton
and vicinity and the coal fields of West
Virginia.
The Massachusetts, district was found
to be, with one or two minor eXcep-
lions. easily reached by water. The
Erie canal solved the problem of all
the great manufacturers on the great
lakes, Chicago, Detroit. Cleveland, Buff
faio and Milwaukee. The Lehigh canal,
although not kept up as it should be.
gave US relief from Easton. The Della
ware river provided an outlet from
Philadelphia, Wilmington and that sec
ton. The Hudson extended the Erie
canals facilities to New York and also
provided an outlet for the electrical
material from Schenectady and vicinity

that satisfactory deliveries could be
made from the Ohio river to Ports

Big Minors Popular.

The National League confined most of
its attention to the Glass IA teams, and
did not bother much with the fellows
below Glass A. Connie Mack, Comiskey
and Foil, of the Philadelphia, Chicago
and Cleveland Americans, sought for
new talent, which was the leading
reason why the younger league was
awarded twenty more players than the
veteran ma jor league.
At the beginning of the meeting it
was announced that the major league
clubs would be permitted to take five
days in which to select their players
from the Glass A and Glass AA clubs.
Directly following the drawing of lots,
however, this decision was changed and
ruling was made that the selections
would have to be made yesterday. This
rule was complied with. excepting in
six cases, Cleveland being undecided

WoBRLINe WHEELS

1t is wise to make an occasional in
spection of the wheels to determine
IL they wobble. This can be done in
two ways. by lacking up each Wheel
and turning it standing a few feet
away to notice any webbing, or by
allowing someone else to drive the
car while you observe wheel move
ment. Sometimes the wheel itself
may run true. but the rim and tire
may not be mounted just righe Civ
ing the impression that the whole
wheel is webbing.

UNPLEASANT NOISES

There are many unpleasant noises
heard when the car is in operation
and which may be remedied without
very much trouble. A hood rattle is
most annoying and usually is caused
by the holding down device having
loose springs. There are so many diff
ferent types of hood fasteners that
specific instructions cannot here be
given, but it viii be worth the own
er's trouble to investigate this small
part and determine Just how the fast
eners can be made to hold the hood
more firmly in place Door rattles
and floorboard huns are easily re-
moved by using felt inserts and, al
though these soon become compress
ed and the noise returns, they consti-
tute good temporary remedy. Tools
under the front seat often rattle, Civ
ing rise to the belief that some part
Of the car is causing it.
