net last long, and these parts really
should be oiled every time the car Is
taken out. This is also true OF the
brake Iinkage on the rear axle Often
no provision is made for oiling at this
point. II is simply a matter OF circu-
lsting oil around the joint and letting
il work in. Ii the brake linkage wears
and weakens. and it becomes neees-
sary to apply the brake suddenly and
with extra force in an emergency, the
linkage will often give way.
Wheel bearings should run for six
months IL they are properly packed
but the only way TO tell whether the
bearings need attention is to inspect
them, and ii is we'll to look them over
regularly. When inspecting the reas
wheel bearings, if the construction is
the type where the wheel hub is keyed
onto the shaft, always look at the key
to see that it is tight.
Dangers Of Loose Key
There are two dangers when the
key is loose. One is that the keyway
becomes rocked out of shape and can
not be fitted tight again. The other
is that shaft and key become worn so
that tight fit is made impossible and,
OF course, the only remedy is to re-
place both. This condition often will
account for a knocking or rafting
which will be felt throughout the car,
and the cause often be supposed to
be located far from the real place
For instance, in one case the drive:
thought the knocking was in the gear
case, until showed him the loose hub.
The spring leaves need fabrication
once a season. Tools are sold for
separating the leaves enough to ap-
ply lubricant made especially for
that purpose .....s
Another part which shows hard
wear quickly is the valve push rod
guide, especially the ones Of the for
ward end of the motor. DHst blowing
over the radiator collects en- the for
ward guides and wears them rapidly
This condition is indicated usually
when the crank case becomes covered
with oil blown up from the loose joint
Modern designs have taken care OF
this to large extent by inclosing the
push rods in casing, and. many own.
ers have put in housings Wnen they
discovered the difficulty. Overhead
valves, worked by a rocker arm, must
be fabricated every time the car is
taken out. The fabrication is not III
Guided in the ordinary fabrication
scheme of the engine, but must be

Careful attention to these minor
points will result in greatly length
ened life for the car, and in much
higher value when it is traded in for
another car"

EXPERT PICKS ALL!AMERICANN i.
AUTOMOBILESALL SANE FOOTBALL
Selects From Each the Features He Thinks He Likes Best
His Car Would Be 'Utimate"With Fancy Unrestrained,
He Puts Together Something WonderfuExpert Wonders
Whether or Not He is Ahead Of Times in Suggesting Car

Remarkable results followed visit
a confirmed football expert made to
the automobile show.
He went to see all the cars lined up
for the 1917 scrimmage season. He
thought he might pick out car
against which he could trade In his
eight-cylinder windsplitter that only
too recently was up to date. And as
one car or the other offered fea-
ture that appealed to him he gave the
cbliging statesmen his name and adj
dress, thinking that on study of the
cars details in its literature he might
find that il was the desired all-around
car.
There was an awakening. Two days
later he found he was an indoor sport,
much liked by statesmen. The more he
heard them point out the various
merits of their vehicles the more con-
fused he became as to which one he
could choose.
His state of mind was such that he
began to get away from all the regular
feIlers and take an interest in steam
car. The reason? Once he had driven
a steam car that had achieved the re-
markable feat of running Is miles
without forced stops
To the relief of the perplexed per-
son came an idea. Go back to the
beginning OF this story and you will
find the statement that he was once a
football expert Now, the principal
occupation of a football expert is, after
sizing up all the teams at the end of
the season, to figure out an All
America Eleven" made up of the best
players for each position, chosen from
all the teams.
The idea was distinctly traceable to
that. II was no less than the ALI
America Car. Why couldn't car be
made. thought he, that would combine
not merely three or four good features
as selling points, but all the good fea-
lures found on the various cars. He
felt sure that if by building this car
ION paper he failed tc stir manufac-
trrers to achieve it he would at least
provide ammunition wherewith he
could fend off the insistent statesmen.
All he would have to do would be to
show them his little list of what he
wanted in his car.
So he composed-thats the precise
word-his All-America Car, which is
spread upon the records here for Ali
Engineerdom to jibe at Undoubtedly
Ii has serious faults, this car, due to
its composers lack of experience with
some factors in this dream car. How
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-04-07

ever, he has just enough knowledge OF
automobiles to think that his basic
ideas can't be far wrong. Engineers
could adapt them with changes of pro-
portions and relations to real car.
But will they? ID. -.
More likely they will jape about
being ahead of the times and recall
to him the history Of the first maker
of the car our All-America man drives.
The first maker of that car was the
first user here of the center control
and the cantilever spring but that was
when other men were talking about
four cylinders as against double OPP
posed and no one was interested in
anything sc progressive as center con-
troll. The engineers probably will re-
ply to the dreamer that such car as
his All-America could not be sold.
Its five years ahead of the indus
try" one engineer already has said.
Time the industry caught up" was
the saucy reply. .---
Is ne right or is he wrong? Is it
time that the automobile travel in one
bound instead of by painful limps the
distance between the present car and
the ULTIMATE. CAR? Opinions on
this point and on the proposed fea.
lures of the All-America car are So
licited Perhaps out of them, the work
of many progressive minds, can be
built ION paper a Great All-American
Car i
And if that greater car, or some
thing resembling it, is once built on
paper it will some day be achieved in
aluminium and iron. How soon?
That's the question
Our All-America enthusiast thinks it
will be soon. And he presents an ar
gument in support of the theory.
People are beginning to know
cars" says he They are beginning
to show appreciation of real merit.
The crowd is getting wise. A really
big car at a reasonable price will
sweep the country. There's no reason
why a car with 90 selling points, in
stead Of two or three, shouldn't cap
ture onefourth of the class demand
for cars today 1t might get one-half.
That would mean from 100000 cars up
With such production the All-America
Car or something similar to it could
be made for $4,000 or less
Is he wrong?
In planning this car the All-America
man was moved by the belief that the
Ultimate Car would have to be fitted

situation. Serious fires spread
through brush and timber in that
part of the county including Athol,
Belmont and Bayview. Several
farmers suffered losses, it is re-

that sustained by E VlnCleve

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The outstanding event of the past
week was the. abandonment by the
Russians OF their Baltic seaport city,
Riga, which fell into the hands of
the Germans, Sept. 2. The Russian
army and civil population retreated
eastward laYing waste the country as
they retired. The Germans tried
hard to take Riga earlier in the war
but the Russians prevented them
from effectlng passage of the Dvina
river. Last Saturday the isaffection
OF Russian troops on part of the
line enabled the Teutonc invaders to
throw bridges across the Dvina and
rush sufficient troops across to make
Riga untenable.
Riga is normally city OF 500. 600
people and is Russia'S third seaport,
being outranked only by Petrograd
and Odessa.
The Italians have been making
steady gains against the Austrians,
whose losses, according to Italian
figures, had, on Sept. 3. reached 1885,
600 men since the Italians began
their receUt offensive.
A lull has obtained for the last
week on the western front, operations
being confined chiefly to artillery
firing. Numerous air raids are being
made by both sides.
British merchant ships sunk by
mines or submarines the past two
weeks numbered 80 of more than
1000 tons each, aud eight smaller
craft.

special session Of the legisla-
ture had to be called to repeal
the act, or the state would
have been bankrupt. A
caterpillar will eat twice its
weight OF leaves in a day. In
the same proportion, a horse
would consume a ton of hay
lin "a hours. SO, insects that
subsist on the leaves of trees
and plants should be handed
over to our bird policemen.
Hundreds of grasshoppers
were found in the craw of a
bird introduced into Australia
to abate the insect scourge.
Man has conquered the earth,
the air and the sea, but insects
are still the lords OF the
universe, says Peoples Home
Journal. Some 800, 900
species have been described,
possibly twice that number

bird is natures defense

NATURES DEFENSE.

Mans helplessness, should
the birds be hindered from
destroying hurtful insect life,
may be illustrated by the
Scalp Act" of Pennsylvania.
Bounties of 500, 900 were paid
for exterminating hawks and
owls, with the result that
agriculture was damaged to
the amount of So, $4,000, due
to the increase of small
rodents. The legislature of

the destruction of those little
animals, which the hawks and
owls had attended to free of
charge, but in six months a

"kEEP your money at
home" is an old motto revived
from time to time for the pur-
pose of combating the big
mail order and catalog houses
and keeping business in the
smaller cities and towns. 1t
is good motto, but in spite
of it the big mail order houses
are growing bigger, and this
is largely attributed to the
fact that they tell people what
they have to sell and at what
price. Merchants of the
smaller towns and cities
might possibly help to keep
a little more money at home
by more judicious employ
ment of the same tactics.

Wilson also joins with presi-
dents of universities and COM
missioners of education in the
effort to keep the colleges
