Protect Your Daughters - AIcaxar
Wednesday and Thursday.

Mother, l have had most wonderful
time!" says a winsome miss as she
comes home late. The girl is full OF
enthusiasm after spending an evening
with a young man amid music and
bright lights.
Such is the opening scene in the re-
markable photoplay Protect Your
Daughter" which will be the unusual
offering at the Alcazar theater tomor-
row. One gets a glimpse of this girl
and her mother at intervals throughout
the unfolding of the story. The mother
does not upbraid and scold her child. She
sits down and tells a story-the story
of 100000 girls that is being unfolded
annually in the large cities of America
every year. AS she relates the incidents
they are shown on the screen and the
audience follows the gripping incidents
to the inevitable final to eventually
breath a sigh or relief to note that it
has made such an impression that the
daughter is saved in time before she
is lost

Tightening the nut will not remedy a
leak at all. Packing for the pump
gland is made of candle wicking
soaked in tallow, heavy twine treat
ed in this way or of some special
material for special cases. After the
packing has been installed, the nut
should be drawn up to press it home,
but no further. BY twisting the nut
too tight it is possible to damage
some part in the body of the pump.
Care rather than elbow grease should
be used in making this adjustment.
Spring Flattening.
1t has often been remarked faceti-

this is literally true of almost every

slight extent. the aXles are further
separated and the wheelbase is
changed, perhaps an inch or two.
Measuring the distance from wheel

WHY HOUSES EXPLODE.

The most remarkable phenomenon
connected with tornsdoes is the expIo-
sion OF houses, which literally burst,
scattering their fragments in all direc-
tions. Sometimes substantial dwell
ings are carried high into the air and
then explode.
1t Is now understood that this is due
to the fact that the funnel cloud"

MOTOR CAR FIGURES
in FOOD PROBLEM
President of Paige. Company Tells
Reason Why.

The farm market for passenger
ears. always a great factor in the
motor car industry, assumes greater
Importance than ever this season.
The promise of abundant harvests,
with possibly a world record for
oats. and the prevailing war condi-
tons make the potentialities Of the
farm market greater than they have
ever been in the history of our indus
try" says Harry n. Jewett, president
OF the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Com
pany. Already 40 per cent of all the
motor cars in America are owned by
farmers, this large proportion being
due to the great utilitarian value Oh
a passenger car. The farmer finds a
thousand and one uses for an auto
mobile. Give him financial ease and
he will buy literally.
The manufacturers Of passenger
cars are fully alive to the situation
and. while they will in no way curtafl
their distribution to cities or neglect
the city buyer. they will pay especial
attention tO the farmer. There will
undoubtedly be great activity in the
fall in this direction
while the maker of passenger cars,
like any other manufacturer, wants lu
increase his sales and broaden his
market. he feels that in supplying the
farmer with a good serviceable car
he Is doing a distinct service to the
country in a constructive and eco
nomic sense.
The production and distribution OF
food has become one of our greatest
problems. We must have more food,
greater crops and better distribution:
and we must conserve and avoio
waste. Here is where the utilitarian
and economic value Of the passenger
car plays a big part. Five acres OF
tillable land are required to support
a horse; three acres to support a man.
II each automobile takes the place of
only one span of horses, the 800 900
cars in use release S7.OOO.OOO acres Of
land for production Of foodstuffs for
more than 100000 men-the total
force employed in the war by all the
allies.
The passenger car on the farm
does release the horse either entirely
or so that it can be put to work IN
the field while errands are being done
BY the car or light produce taken to
the market. MotOrizing the farm is
the biggest step that can be taken in
the direction of efficient and economic
food production. The passenger car
is the farmers most valuable helper
and hence It is going to play a larger
part than ever in our efforts to make
this country strong for the great tasks
before it."

Battery Readings.

Hydrometer readings should be taken
before water is added to the battery,
otherwise the solution will be so di-
luted that an incorrect reading will
be obtained. 1t should also be borne
in mind that it requires some time
fO- water which has been added to
mix perfectly with the rest of the So
luton. The water is lighter than
the acid solution and consequently re-
mains on top for certain length of
time. II the hydrometer is used with
in an hour after the cells have been
filled, a weak solution will be drawn
up and the reading will not give
true line on the condition Of the bat
terry.
Valve Stem Guide Bushing.
When an engine is not fitted with
special valve stem guide bushings, ex-
Cessive wear of the guide is likely to
occur, inducing valve stem side play
and leakage of oil. This condition may
be remedied by roaming the guide and
fitting a bronze bushing. Such bush
ings may be had already machined,
from any good supply store. In ap-
plying, the valve should center on the
tappet, otherwise there will be side
thrust against the bushing, which will
wear eccentric.
Carbureter Ills.
In many cars water and dirt in the
fuel system cause almost endless
trouble, which may very likely be
attributed to the engine proper. Dirt
will clog the minute CTeviCes in the
carbureter, causing numerous peculiar
symptoms Of trouble to appear. Many
cars have no provision, except a metal
strainer in the tank, for preventing
the entrance of dirt into the fuel sys-
TEN. It is suggested that the owners
