Getting in underneath the car with
a jack, when use of such an appliance
is necessary, is often accompanied by
getting the hands and clothing grease
and dirt stained. furthermore, some
Jack handles are likely to fly up, lea

perhaps causing injury to the motorist
A new type is operated by chain.
When the jack is in place under the
axle, hauling on the chain elevates the
car. Pulling the other way lets the
car down and when the jack is no
longer needed it can be drawn out from
under the automobile, again by the
chain. The jack has strong cap.

faint hope that the extremist fac

Petrograd, will refrain from violat-
ing Russia's treaty pledges to the en-

policy to exert any pressure from the

An additional reason for maintain
ing an attitude of watchfulness and

fact that to meet just such situa-
ton as is developing in Russia is one
of the purposes of the inter-allied con.
ference assembled in Paris.
