Thrust Washers.

Many cars are fitted with thrust
washers IN various locations and such
washers eventually become worn and
occasionally the wear is rapid. This
IS due TO a certain extent TO the fact
that no oil grooves are provided on
the washer and consequently when
oil tries TO make It's way TO the face
Of the washer, IL is squeezed out. It
is good idea to cut grooves IN the
washer, so that oil may be distributed
over the bearing surface and thus
prevent excessive wear.

London, July 1s-Democratic gov

hands of the crown prince today, ac-
cording to a dispatch from Berne,

Because Of the demands Of the
reichstag for equal suffrage for all
males in Germany and other far reach
ing reforms, the kaiser insisted the
crown prince must participate in the
sittings of the crown council which
will decide to what extent the gov
eminent will go in making concessions
10 the people says the Berlin cable.
a second sitting of the crown council
with the heir to the throne present
began at noon yesterday, says a dis
patch received here last night from
Berlin.
The first announcement, following
the arrival of the crown prince in
Berlin from the Verdun front, was a
telegram from Berlin 10 Berne stating
that intervention of the crown prince
had caused Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg to resign. The dispatch quot
ed the vossische Zeitung and the
L0kaE Anzeiger Of Berlin as announc-
ing the resignation Of the chancellor.
The emperor, it was stated. has not
yet decided whether he will accept the
chancellor's resignation.
Entire Ministry May Quit.
A dispatch received by way of Am
sterdam about the same time stated
that according TO reports reaching
Holland the entire German ministry
will go out OF office with Chancellor
Won Bethmann -Hoilweg. The main
committee of the reichstag. this dis
patch stated, refused to vote a war
credit unless the government declared
it's policy regarding peace and re-
forms. This the Hollweg ministry de-
clined to do.

that the chancellor resigned because

Retailers Will Take Small Profits.
WASHINGTON. July ia present con-
gestion in the frozen poultry market
shown by figures of the United States
department of agriculture, can be re-
lieved if the retail dealers will handle
the goods at a reasonable advance over
wholesale prices. This action would
make poultry available at prices COM
pairing favorably with other meats &C
cording to the findings OF conference
Just held here between wholesale poul-
try distributors and officials OF the de-
partment Of agriculture. Men in the
conference say that more poultry
should be eaten when the facts are I'M
derstood by the consumer; and an in !
creased use of poultry now, IN the
opinion Of the department, Will tend TO
conserve other meats which are OF more
importance to Americans and their al
lies in Europe. The retailers. as well as
wholesalers, it is pointed out, should
aid in relieving the congestion.
Broiling chickens are especially
abundant and those Of prime quality
sold in June on the wholesale market
in New York a. an average price of %
cents a pound. a year before the aver
age price was - cents during the same
month. There are unusually big hold
ings of dressed poultry in cold storage.
Unless these stocks are moved quickly,
| farmers who have increased this years
| flocks in response to a patriotic appeal
will not have normal marketing condi-
tons when their surplus comes on the
market.
The parties to the conference agreed
that the storage supplies Of poultry in
the summer of 1916 were unusually low
| because of small original holdings and
| large export demands. This resulted
in unusually high prices to producers
during the fall and winter of 1916. The
supply was unexpectedly heavy and
large stocks were stored at high costs.
Then export demands fell off, the wave
Of economy affected the home demand
and the storage stocks moved slowly.
The net result. according to the depart
ment. is that almost everybody ought
| to enjoy chicken dinners now at decid-
eddy reduced prices, and without feel
| ing that they are using up needed
meat supplies. In short, it is said to de-
pend on the retailers whether cheaper
chickens wifi be available.

Of construction and BY authorizing the
shipping board to operate the vessels
after they are built and to- requisi-
ton and operate tonnage now on the
seas.
The president by dividing the pow
ers conferred on him by congress
cleared the way for an immediate
speeding up of construction. General
Goethals will commander at once the
contracts for most Of the 100000 tons
of ships building in American YARDS
and will put on double and triple
labor shifts to hurry their completion
Under the shipping law the fee'
corporation is empowered also 10
commander supplies needed for snip
construction, but 1t is believed TO-
days agreement between the gov
eminent and steel interests will make
this step unnecessary.
The empowering legislation as orig
inally drawn authorized the president
to delegate to the general manager OF
the fleet corporation personally tne
power to spend $500, 100000 for ship
building and to put the general man
ager in charge of construction AS
finally passed, however, the measure
left the executive free to choose ms
own agency. and out of this grew the
controversy between Chairman Den
man of the shipping board and General
Soethals.
The action of the president was
hailed by General Goethals' frlenos
as victory. altho Chairman Denman'
as president of the corporation, must
approve all contracts.
1t was made clear last night, now
ever. that General Goethals Will De
given a free hand The board Will not
interfere it is understood. with his
plans.
Most of the first s500,000,0o0 appro-
priated for ship construction mas
gone into contracts for both steel ana
wooden ships A sum of $2oo,Voe,VV'
authorized for Communicating con-
tracts and for requisitionins tonnage
on the seas will be divided, 1t was
announced last night, between the
shipping board and the feet corpora
ton. The apportionment has not beeh
determined, but it most probably VIII
be used to speed construction. CHAIR
man Denman has asked General
Goethals 20 outline a plan for com
Wandering contracts and ships on
stocks that the shipping board may
know how much money will be re-
quired.

At the cost of a small jar Of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the Juice of two fresh lem
pms into bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white. Care should be ia
ken to strain the juice through fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this
lotion will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
TO bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles. sallowness and tan, and is
the IDEAL skin softener, snOothener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces Of Or
chard white at any pharmacy and two
lemons from the grocer and make up a
quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face. neck, arms and hands. 1t
should naturally help TO whiten, soften,
freshen and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. 1t is truly marvel
ous to smoother rough. red hands.
