of the old parties are more or less
progressive as opposed to conserva-
tive. There are also progressives in
the Socialist and Prohibition parties.
When this is realized it is further
realized that there is no more a place
in the field of politics for the Pro-
gressive party than there is for the
Prohibition party. In close elections
they may possible hold the balance
of power, but were the Progressive
party out of existence the members
would be divided among the other
parties in such way that they could

Helnfnl Hints

One Of the many mistakes which
beginners frequently commit is to
est the feet on the. clutch and brake
pedals. 1t wears out clutch collar
making it noisy and may cause brake
to drag, wearing it also. The bel
position is to have both feet near The
pedals ready for instant use.
You probably keep track of the
mileage but do you keep track of
valve mileage also? Your valves
hould be ground in at least every
1000 miles, altho some people let
hem run to 1850. At that time they
viii be found to be so badly pitted
hat it will be a long job grinding
hem. Grind one a week or SO and
it will not seem such a terrible job,
lnIess the head must be removed to
AXE out the valves, when all must be
ground at once.
Most people neglect the tires, be-
cause they are apt to get their hands
oiled. Go over the treads carefully
rom time to time, rigging out small
stones and filling the cuts with tire
putty. You will be surprised at the
increased mileage you will get.
Now is the time of year to go over
the top carefully. looking for weak
spots or holes. You can get patches
from your supply dealer that match
the color of the top very closely.
Another cold weather suggestion
is to avoid frozen ruts as much as
possible. They chafe the tire on the
sides, where it is not very well pro-
tected. So keep out of them as much
as possible.

Il have an Overland, model seven
ty-nine. One evening last week when
downtown, after leaving the car for
15 minutes, the engine stuck and
could not be turned over. The ma
chine was towed home. After arriv'
ing home the engine was tried, and
turned over as easily as ever. A
A neighbor stated that the engine
was probably frozen on center, and
that the oil was low, but the oil was
glowing thru the sight-feed on dash,
Before towing home it was noticed
that the gears seemed stuck in neu-
raj, and that it required consider
BILE effort to release and shift geai
ever.
Fresh oil was put into crank case
and the machine brought downtown
the following day. After it had been
run about town for over an hour and
eft standing for that length of time
the motor was started, and as tho
gears were being shifted from first
TO second position, the truncated cons

perfectly, the gears are in perfect
condition. The break seemed to como
as the gear lever was being brough
back thru neutral; that is, yhe
lever seemed to catch and then the
break came. Examination shows that
gears are uninjured. H. H. NJ.
The trouble in eranking engine
was probably due to the gears being
in mesh and the emergency brake
set.
The broken clutch was probably
due to flaw which suddenly devel-
oped. Few people realize the strain
to which the cllteh is subjected.
From your explanation it would
seem that the geals were out Of line.

Can you suggest way to find it?
L. F. W.
The fact that the mixture is right
in several cylinders and weak in one
indicates a leak in the inlet mani
'old. AT times this is also indicated
by a whistling noise. Squirt oil all
around the joints Of the manifold
and see if it is drawn in or changes
the sound of the whistle. Sometimes
the trouble may be found by squirt
ing gasolene around the joints, as
the motor picks up speed when the
leak is found. Tighten up bolts or
replace the gasllet between the flang-
es.
