rectifier. The device consists of a
small glass bulb, similar to an incan-
descent lamp, in which the rectifica-
ton takes place; a little compensation,
or transformer, which reduces the al
ternating current without wasteful re-
sistance; a fuse, and an enclosing ase.
ment is positive, any electrons that
are emitted are driven back to the fill
ament, so that the gas in the bulb is
conductive during that half cycle.
In other and less scientific words,
for the half cycle a current flows
from the graphite "anode" to the
tungsten filament, but in the other
half it cannot flow cross the gas
filled space, so the current flowing
through the battery cells is always in
one direction.
When the proper connections to the
battery are made, and the rectifer is
connected to the alternating current
incandescent lamp socket, the device
will start charging Immediately. The
tungsten flament in the bulb lights,
and there will be seen a purplish glow
between the cathode and the anode,
or between the flament and the gra-
phite. A slight hum is also noticeable
while charging.
These rectifiers may be used for
charging all small storage batteries,
such as used for miners lamps, in
spectors' lamps, dentists lamps, exit
lights, electric piano players, burglar
alarms, railroads signals, lighting sys-

SELECT MORE SEED CORN

Five reasons for selecting and saw
ing double the usual amount of seed
corr in the localities where the corn
crop is maturing in good condition are
put forth by the United States de-
partment of agriculture for the o
sideration of farmers in a statement
issued recently. The department be-
lieves that much more than the usual
acreage of corn will be planted next
spring and that now is the best, sur
est, and easiest time to get the neces-
sary seed. The five reasons for in
creasing the seed-corn supply e
Reasons for Increasing Supply.
(1) First-class seed corr is scarce
almost every spring.
(2) Extended paintings and re-
hold-over supply last June.
(3) In some sections this years
crop has been destroyed by drought
n early frosts. Farmers of these
sections should now arrange to secure
seed from localities possessing eli
matte conditions similar to their own.
az In the localities favored with
a crop this year next years crop may
be destroyed, and there should nov
be selected a supply of locally adapted
seed for 1918 and a hold-over supply
for the 1919 planting.
(5) Hail storms, floods, and
droughts yearly destroy millions of
acres of young corn, making second
and third paintings necessary. Seed
corn dealers who provide ample sup
plies of seed of early maturing vari-
ties render valuable service by prompt
deliveries for these emergency plant
ings.

THE KAISER'S DREAM

There is a story, though strange it
may seem,
Of the great Kaiser Bill and his
wonderful dream,
Being weary of fighting, he lay on
his bed,
And among other things he dream
ed he was dead,
And in a fine coffin was lying in
state,
With a crowd Of brave Belgians
~bemoaning his fate.
He was not long dead, when he found
to his cost
His soul, like his soldiers, would
quickly be lost.
On leaving this earth to meet his
true fate,
He fastened to Heaven and knock
ed at the gate.
Saint Peter looked out and exclaimed
loud and clear
"Try down below, Bill, you can't
get in here"
"Now," said the Kaiser, II call that
u%ncivil,
But a welcome ut get from my old
friend the divil.
He turned on his heel and away he
did go
At the top of his speed to the re-
gions below.
But when he arrived he was filled
with dismay
For while waiting outside he heard
Old Kick say:
I"See, here, all you imps, l give you
fair warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
any morning;
But don't let him in, for to me tits
quite clear,
He's after my job, and we don't
want him here.
If he once should get in, thereH be
numerous quarrels;
In fact, Pm afraid he'll corrupt our
good morals"
"All right, my dear FRIEND" the great
Kaiser cried
Excuse me for listening while
waiting outside.
II you don't let me in, where then
shall | go?"
"Indeed," said the devil, "Tm
damned if l know"
ooh, do let me in, for I'm feeling
quite cold,
And if you want money, I've plenty
of gold.
Let me sit in a corner, no matter no"
hot"
"Oh, no." said the devil, "most Ger
tainly not.
"We don't allow folks here for riches
or pelf,
Here's matches and sulphur, max
a hell for yourself"
And he fast kicked him out when h
vanished in smoke.
And just at that moment IN
Kaiser awoke,
He jumped from his bed in a shlV
ering sweat
And said, THAT'S a dream l shan
soon forget.
That l won't go to Heaven l kno>
very well,
But it's really too bad to be kicke
out of He'll.

THOUGHT HE HEARD THE CARS

THOUGHT HE HEARD THE CARS
Billy Komiski, who lives north of
the Poplar, became insane this week
and threatened to "smoke up" some
body whom he supposed was latter
him." He was also laboring under
the delusion that the railroad had ar
rived in the north country and told
his neighbors that trains were rum

He was taken before Judge Shuster
at Glentana Monday and the latter
turned him over to Deputy Sheriff
Beebe to be taken before the board
at Glasgow for an examination in re-
gard to his sanity. He was adjudged
insane and was taken to Warm
Springs yesterday.

TOLEDO AUTO SHOW

The decorations of the interior OF
the Terminal Auditorium for the ninth
annual automobile show of the Toledo
Auto Shows Company to be held from
February IL to II, will surpass all like
efforts in this line.
The amount of money to be spent
for the decorative features, labor en-
ployed and the wealth Of material be-
ing used insures treat for the visitor
to the show.
For weeks % young women have
been studiously working eight hours
day making flowers. These decorative
features are entwined with more than
$4,000 feet Of genuine laurel, through
trellis work and over booths, giving
the entire building appearance Of
garden bower.
This mass of red roses and green
laurel has a pure white setting. The
walls have been painted white, all the
treliises and booth furniture are Of like
color. To this end two tons Of white
lead paint has been used.
Against this scheme there are more
than 10000 small incandescent elec-
trio lights entertwined. From the
ceiling are dependent 1000 Daylight
electrical globes, throwing a glare Of
illumination over the entire structure
that will be marvel to the most criti-
cal as we'll as casual visitor.
This decorative work is being done
by force Of so painters carpenters
and decorators under the general su-
pervision Of II. V. Buelow, manager
for the Auto Show. Members of the
Toledo Auto Shows Company admit
that the work accomplished in trans
ferring the interior of the Terminal
Auditorium as a place Of beauty to
properly display the cars of the Toledo
dealers, far surpasses that Of any
show thus far held.

When q steering gear becomes loose
1t speaks for itself. In other words,
tho looseness Immediately shows in the
steering wheel by an excessive amount
Of lost motion. A general checking
through of the steering system will
snow ono just where the trouble lies.
II In tho ball joints at the juncture
or the pitman arm and steering arm,
there generally is an adjustment in the
form of bolt which reduces the area
OF the ball retainer. II all is tight be-
low the steering gear and there is still
an excessive amount of play the
trouble is. of course, in the gear itself.
Ihere are three generally used types
OF steering gears-the worm and nut.

type. Taking the simplest first. the
bevei type requires very little care. and

enough to say that the oil cups
winch lubrfcate the pinion bearing and
the steering arm bearing should have
their due attention-a filling and
emptying at least once In two months
and preferably twice that often. There
is generally an adjustment just above
the pinton bearing, with which all lost
motion can be gathered in.
In the worm and wheel type there
are generally two adjustments, one
which operates on the worm, the tight
ening Of which eliminates up and down
motion Of the worm, and the other in
the form of an eccentric bushing, which
supports the steering arm and wheel.
Keep Il fabricated.
The first mentioned adjustment is
generally nut on top of the steering
gear housing, as shown In the illustra.
ton. BY screwing the nut down the
thrust bearings are brought together
and up and down motion Is removed
The eccentric bushing, which Is gen.
orally held in adjustment by locking
bolt, permits the wheel to be turned
further into the worm, thus giving a
closer engagement Of the teeth and
taking up the lost motion
Any steering gear Is difficult to lu
bricate and, furthermore, requires more
fabrication than is generally appre
cated. The difficulty in oiling is thai
there Is practically no pumping action
As result, the steering gear housine
should be kept very nearly full OF
grease at all times. Some manufact
urers recommend light transmission
grease. others heavy graphite. Either

lubricant will work we'll IL 1t is kept
packed in. This is important. Keep
it packed in. Not enough grease means
a partially dry worm.
The worm and nut type has one ad-
justment. This Is in the form Of nut
on top of the housing, locked with
locking bolt, which applies pressure to
the nut by drawing together slotted
portion Of the casting. In this type
there are two half nuts which surround
the worm. The adjustment removes
up and down motion in these half nuts.
When the adjustment cannot be made
with the nut the worm may be reversed
and a new bearing surface will be
created. This adjustment Is not pos
sible in all makes.
Limits of Adjustment.
Adjustments in all types, provided
the wear Is not excessive, allow adjust
ment from very nearly zero to matter
or two inches or more on the rim of the
steering wheel. Motor Age does NOT
recommend any certain amount Of lost
motion. 1t is matter of drivers pref
erence, and gear makers themselves
grant that no standard can be set.
A very tight adjustment inflicts q
strain on the driver, because the steer
Ing gear, being slightly reversible
transmits road shocks to the drivers
hands and arms, which might be taken
up in the slight play Of the steertng q
wheel. 1t might be said that one and
one-half inches on the steering wheel
Is the average amount Of play.
On the other hand, an adjustment
which allows too much play Is danger.
Gus when quick turning is necessary.
