Other Defects Pointed Out.
Front wheels that are not parallel
and rear and front wheels which are
not In alignment cause a considerable
drag by slipping the tires on the road.
A serious lack Of fabrication at any
point gives rise to unusual friction and
expensive wear.
Among these points are the universal
joints. the front wheel bearings. the
gears and the driving and differential
gears. In housings, such as the trans
mission and differential castings, not
only the lack of sufficient lubricant to
on the other hand. tho use of too
sticky. ropy lubricant absorbs lot of
power-more than one would think.
It is like stirring a thick pudding,
which at high speed is hard work for
the engine. II the driving gears are
meshed too closely. If any bearings are
adjusted too tightly, or II the working
parts OF universal joints are set up too
snugly. there will be constant friction
and rapid wear produced.

line can be detected and to some de-
gree located.
Under normal conditions a large
percentage of the power delivered by
the engine to the clutch is used in pro-
pelling the car. but always the balance
Is wastefully consumed in friction in
the various moving parts.
When any element of the transmits
sion line or any moving parts of the
running gear are so disordered as to
run hard the abnormal friction created
detracts from the available propulsiye

nearly as much Importance to prevent
the development of undue friction in
the power-transmitting mechanism as
1t is to keep the engine up to a stand

Method Of Detection.
AS means of detecting undue fric-
ton there is nothing better than the
coasting test. which is as follows: Sc

short and gentle down grade, and, with
the car running at its best, stop it in
neutral at certain point near the top.
ana then release the brake. The car
will begin to move down hill by erav-
ity. and while It is doing so Its great
est speed should be read from the
speedometer, and the point on the road
where 1t comes to a spot should be
noted. At any later time, IL another
test is made under similar road and
weather conditions and the speed and
distance coasted do not equal those of
the check run, 1t may be concluded that
the car does not run as freely as 1t

 equipment? This question, propound-
 ed locally to the average citizen
 would would be answered, perhaps, in the affirmative, and to emphasize it.
 he would point with pride to the
 high school building, and others which have more or less merit. The high school building was constructed ten years ago, and at that time was no doubt credit to our city. It IS now wholly inadequate for our needs, does not contain all of the depart ments essential to our advancement, l and contains none of the newer de- partments that are necessary in 8 modern vocational school. Therefore, , it is incumbent on the board and the citizens Of this city to provide 2 building wherein their chilNen will have an opportunity to train their hands in some useful pursuit, as well as obtain the necessary mental training in the sciences and langua- ges. The board proposes to have erected 9 building that will meet these conditions. and has employed MT. Mitchell Selligman, as architect, to prepare the plans and specified tions for it.
 The Kew High School.
 This proposed building will have an exterior that is plain but schol- astic. The architect has not in- dulged his aspirations in great porti~ coes, fluted columns, darkening bal comics, and overhanging cornices that are foreign to school purposes. These things cost money, and moreover, we are not trying to make an embryo state capitol of this building, but building for. school business. The architest has been wise enough to provide for good equipment, heating and ventilation. fireproofing and other necessities, rather than high priced columns and carvings. The building from every view will have good lines that serve to make it eX presive of it's purpose. There is some elaboration at each of the main en- frances, but these are arrived at by simple methods. The superstructure is to rest on base of limestone which gives it a very solid and substantial foundation.
 The water table, the horizontal bands, or divisions, and the cornice, together with the entrance motifs are to be made of terra cotta which is decorative in it's polychome colors, but not very costly.
 The walls will be constructed of fern leaf, light and dark chocolate bricks laid with wide, raked joints, l in diaper patterns and panels, there

MT. COlemen Describes Plans
 for Proposed New Hiqh School

Containing as it does the first de- tailed description of the plans pre pared for the proposed new Junior High school building, the address Friday afternoon, at the meeting of the Lakeside school Improvement association, by w. F. Coleman. mem- Der of the city school board. was of far more than ordinary interest.
 MT. Coleman has been closely as- sociated with the preparation of the plans for the proposed new building, which is so badly needed, and his address in full, as follows, will be read with interest by the school children, and their parents, of the en. tire city:
 Adequate school buildings is sub- ject in which each of you are great. ly interested. Moreover, it touches vitally upon the health as well as the proper training of the child.
 It is said that more money is eX- pended each year in the United States in the construction and maintenance of public school buildings than is used for like purpose in all of the other countries of the world con- bined. While this appears to be an
 
 unbelievable when our vast size and wonderful increase in population during the past decade are consider ed; for it can be safely assumed that no community of this great nation be it ever so humble, will long re- main without structure of some kind within which its children can receive at least the rudiments of an education.
 In the West, our greatest field for rapid development, the first sub- stantial public structure evolved from the chaotic mining camp. or land boomers settlement, is the school house, which thus becomes the fore runner of enlightment, progress and knowledge. However unlettered the rough borderers have been, there has been found in them an inborn desire, not only to improve the condition of their children. but to have them receive a wholesome training. This tendency becomes stronger as tho ratio of intelligence and property in- creases. it being readily recognized that the surest safeguard of any people is knowledge, and that the best way that it can be imparted to the masses is by the public education of their children.
 The public school system of educa tion has been advanced in our country, during the last half century, to a degree of perfection heretofore unknown, and today the United | States is, in this respect. far in ad- vance of nearly all other nations.
 Now, can it he said, with equal as- surance, that our school buildings

 the same time relieving the walls o1
 much of their monotony.
 The windows are exceedingly large
 and are well placed, so that each
 room will have a requisite amount o1
 light and ventilation. As matter ot
 fact, the window openings are so skill
 fully arranged that the pleasing pro.
 portions of the facades are empha sized by this simple expedient
 The building is designed with the main entrance facing the corner of Laurel street and Tenth avenue and another entrance on Tenth street near the lot line. and still another on Lau- rel street near the alley. In each in- stance the entrances are gained by broad stone steps, of easy treads, Thanked with terra cotta balusters. All Of these entrances lead to the first floor, which is raised above the street level.
 Fine Use of Basement.
 The basement is entered from Lau- rel and Tenth streets directly off of the sidewalks. and under the main entrance steps, obviating the neces- sity of going up the steps to the first floor before getting into the base ment. There are two bicycle rooms adjacent to the basement door where the wheels can be stored and locked up for the day. The boys and girls enter the basement, in which are To- cated the locker rooms, the main toilet rooms and shower rooms for girls and boys in differents parts of the building.
 The domestic science room is on this floor, and has a store room for the storage of supplies and access sorles. This room is csnnacted to the cafetera on the floor above by means of dumb waiter. Food might be pre- pared in this room, and sent up on the waiter to he served to the stu- dents lunching in the cafetera On this floor. but deeper in the ground is the boiler and coal rooms and the gymnasium. The boiler room con- talns the boilers for supplying heat to the entire building through direct indirect radiators that are located in each of the rooms. All rooms are guaranteed to be heated to tempera- ,ure or |2 degrees when the outside temperature is zero, and maintaine1 IS long as the boiler is fired. A; oul and vitiated air is removed from every room in the building by m-a IS l 'f vents or ducts in which are in. 1 stalled aspirating coils to insure their | efficiency throughout the day.
 Fresh air is introduced into tho | 'ooms through fresh air-box with adjustable dampers installed in the adiators, thus eliminating the neces- ity of ever raising window to ad- nit fresh air. The vitiated air being aken out of all roocls through the ucts. as I have just explained.

Declaring that thousands Of men of
draft age evaded registration and
have escaped the call to the Army,
Attorney General Gregory has instruct
ed all United States Attorneys to begin
round up Of the slackers and start
criminal prosecutions.
The Attorney General says that from
reports made up to July l6 it appears
that thousands of men escaped and
emphasized the Importance to the
Government of prompt, thorough and
country wide search, followed by Wig
orous criminal prosecution.
District attorneys he says, are not
expected to make a house to house can
vass, nor comparison Of the registra-
tion lists with the various tax and vot-
ing lists of each county, but are to en-
gage the assistance of local officers
voluntary organizations whenever that
can be done. When slackers are found
they are to be registered and to be as
signed by lot to the serial numbers OF
persons exempted.
