THE STORY TOLD BY A DOLLAR

A little ageworm, perhaps, but still in

my adopted home, but | like it and

into a town like this in another state.
But, after a time, | was sent off to a
big city, many miles away. | turned
up in a mail-order house. For several
years l stayed in that city. Million

town that | was determined to make
a desperate effort to stay. One day a
citizen of this town was about to send

looking oyer a m%ail-order catalog. Sud
denly / found my voice and said to-
him: Look here, If you'll let me stay
in this town I'll circulate around and
do you a lot of good. You buy a beef
steak with me, and the butcher will
buy groceries, and the grocer will buy
hardware and the hardware man will
pay his doctor bill with me, and the
doctor will spend me with a farmer
for oats to feed his horse with, and the
farmer will buy some fresh meat from
the butcher, who will come around to
the dentist to get his tooth mended. In
the long run, as you see, I'll be more
useful to you here at home than If
you send me away forever"
"The nan said it was a mighty stiff
argument. He hadn't looked at it in
that light before, so he went and
bought the beefsteak, and l began to
circulate around home again. Now,

The brake on my car has been drag
eing some time, and am now about to
have il repaired, as !. am told that it
causes tho tires to wear more rapidly.
Is this true7
Inasmuch as the dragging brake re-
tards the free movement Of the wheel,
the tire is made to wear out more
quickly than normally. Especially Is
this so when the brake is applied. The
principal detriment, however. lies In
the increased work imposed on the
motor. which causes 1t to heat quickly.

The curved piece Of iron is intended

satisfactorily without it.

How can the external contracting
brakes on my car be fixed to prevent
rafting?
1t should not be any great trouble to
discover where the rattle is. 1t might
be in the joints Of the operating lever
or the toggle lever. the pins having
worn loose. Possibly the band itself is
too loose on the rim, due to gradual
wear of the lining. There is an ad
juStment at the end Of the toggle lever.
This brings the ends of the brake band
closer together. There is another
source of rattle-namely, in the brake
rods, which may be too loose. Dis.
connect the clevis from the operating
lever, and, after releasing the lock nut
turn up the clevis until the rod is just
long enough to tit without any loose
ness.

What are the advantages of the
clincher tire ove the straight side?
The clincher tire is more certain to
hold to the rim, while in the straight
side there is a chance that the tire may
blow off the rim.

Vf the spring breakage on any car
Proper care Of the springs not only
when in the garage. but when on the
road, is essential. Jumping the car

What are the advantages of the
shaft drive and chain drive and of the
friction?
The shaft drive Is simple, easily lu-
bricated, requires practically no care,
is not heavy, cumbersome or noisy and
makes an ideal drive method for pas
senger cars. The chain drive is good
for the reason that it allows better re
duction to the wheels. However, it is
noisy and requires more care than the
shaft, and it is hard to lubricate the
chains properly. The friction drive is
the simplest Of all and weighs much
less than any other form, is more east
ly operated, Is cheaper and has a low
operating cost.

How may a spark plug be fixed so il
will not lose compression? find the
garage men just screw them in tightly,
but when tested with oil some Of them
leak moro or less.
Some plugs cause leakage because of
broken down gaskets between the shell
and %insulator, but If you refer to leak
age around the threads this may east
ly be prevented. Use a good copper gas
ket, and before placing a plug into pO-
sition spread stove backing lightly
over the threads. This will prevent
leakage and will not interfere with
plug removal
Ny car runs we'll q couple Of miles
after starting, but will begin to miss
fire on one Of the cylinders as soon as
the engine gets warm and misses
every time unless ! prime it. Then it
runs we'll for about a dozen revolutions
and starts to miss again. Can you ex-
plain this2
Apparently there is an air leak in
the cylinder which misses. You should
examine this carefully, going over all
connections of manifold to the cylin-
der and also going around the threads
Of the spark plugs and printing cups
With a rich starting mixture it is pos
sible that an air leak does not have the
effect Of causing a miss, but as soon
as the motor begins to run expansion
due to the heat in the cylinder causes
the leakage to increase, and hence q
misfire. Another possibility is that the
fuel line is clogged, supplying only
enough to start, and then. as soon as
the motor is running, the exces is
used up, and the motor will not have
sufficient fuel to run upon. A third
possibility is that one Of the valves of
this cylinder even needs grinding or
does not seat properly. This also
should be examined, and when looking
for leaks you should not fail to inspect
the bushings surrounding the valve
stems.

eups2
The a that some cars will not
start without first printing Is that a
sufficiently rich mixture Is not being
supplied at the start. This Is some
times due to carburetor adjustment

PRIVATE BANKS.-Putting ones
money in a private bank is merely
handing it to an individual, with no
guarantee that you will get it back
when you want it. There have been
enough failures of private banks to
warn the people, but they keep on
trusting almost any individual who
rents a storeroim and has nice gold
letters painted. on the windows say
ing it is a bank. The United States
government has laws protecting de-
positOrs who put their money in ma
tional banks, and the state has laws
to protect depositOrs in state banks.
The laws don't always protect, but
they reduce the risk to an almost in
visible minimum. The state could
give legal definition to the word
bank, and prohibit its use by any
person or corporation who didn't get
a banking license from the state and
live up to any rules the legislature
might make protecting depositors. In
the meantime, the safest thing to do
is to put your money in national or
state bank.
AS it is now, a man who risks his life
blowing a safe and robbing a bank
is a boob. The great state of Illinois
will permit him to hire a room, paint
gold letters on the windows and take
it easy while the ignorant walk in
and hand him their money. When
he has taken in enough to satisfy his
greed he can take the money, lock
the door and go somewhere else.
