CHINESE LITERATURE.
Library Of Congress Contains 5000
Chinese Volumes.

From Oriental News and Comment.
There are very few great libraries In
China. The wide diffusion Of learning
and the complete decentralization of the
printing and publishing Industries, and
most Of all the clan type OF family or
ganiEation, have favored the creation
Of large private or family libraries
scattered all over China. No adequate
survey Of the library resources Of China
has ever been made. but there can be
no doubt that they are Of enormous
extent. The Chinese imperial court has
always maintained a large library. and
there has recently been established in

cation from the libraries of the Yao
and Chiu families. No doubt this
library will grow rapidly in the near
future and soon become large enough
to be a credtable representative of the
library wealth of China.
Japan is rich in old Chinese works
treasured in the private and public
libraries during the many centuries
when Chinese learning was held in the
highest reverence, reverence. Doubtless the

any in western countries. In Europe there
are few good Chinese libraries. The
oldest and best Is that of Paris, follow
ed closely by the British Museum. There
are also large collections at Berlin,
Petrograd. Cambridge and Leiden.
The Chinese collection Of the Library
OF Congress now numbers close to As 900
volumes. Chinese style. 1t is by far
the largest in the new world. and
probably ranks second or third among
the Chinese libraries outside Of China
and Japan.
The second largest Chinese library
in America is the Newberry Library Of

631 works in about $4,000 volumes. The
John Crerar Library I'm Chicago also

If the small private garage is to be used
during the winter any car owner OF ex-
perience will understand the necessity lot

ills, besides the obvious one OF freezing
UP the radiator of the car. In most cases
it will cause more than enough damage

Most Of the starting troubles so gener-
ally complained of in winter may De

WARNED AGAINST SPIES.
Placards Posted in Navy Yards
and Stations.

Renewed warnings against spies
have been posted at all navy yards
and stations. Placards headed Beware
Of Spies have been posted. reading as
follows:
Don't talk about what you have done
or are going to do. The enemy has
ears everywhere.
Don't discuss naval affairs or the
courses with strangers or foreigners.
Don't trust any one you do not know:
Enemy spies at home and abroad will
try to draw you into arguments and
entrap you into telling them about the
movement Of ships, their cargoes. the
courses steered and the steps taken to
defend our ships.
Don't forget to report At once any
person who tries to get information
from you or any one elise in your hear
ing.
"Don'e forget that your want Of care
may help the enemy and lead to the
loss OF American ships and the deaths
Of their crews.

ACRES RELEASED TO GROW
FOOD BY USE OF GASOLINE
Motor Trucks on Farm Save Feed
of Horses and Give Land to
Raising Of Produce.

Progress today is propelled by gaso-
line. The modern and the best way to
do 1t is by motor.
Not only is the motor vehicle. with
It's superior speed and endurance, help
ing to solve the transportation prob
lem. but it is of real help with the food
problem. Because the motor requires
no titled land for its support, and be-
cause titled land is needed to raise
food for humans, we have patriotic
reason to use the motor wherever pos
sible in carrying on the work of the
world.
The National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce tells us that 100000 trucks
were in use at the beginning of this
year.
Each commercial motor vehicle takes
the place, on the average, of three
horse-drawn vehicles and four or five
horses. 1t requires four to five acres
to produce feed for each horse. so that
each truck means the release of TWEEN
ty acres of land for other agricultural
purposes. The 100000 trucks release
100000 acres from providing power
for horse-drawn vehicles.
Three acres will support a man. SO
an army of 100000 can be fed from
the land that would be required to feed
the horses which would do the work
of the trucks. If we added to this the
trucks which have been put into use
this year, and the hauling done In
pleasure vehicles, the figures would
probably be doubled.

tenance expense, which he assumed as IN
evitable when he became motorist.
There is reason on both sides OF these
points Of view, and which is the sound
er one depends upon the individual case.
One important difference between the
two methods lies in the fact that the
user who trades annually pays the de-
probation upon his original investment
in annual installments, and is always
in possession of the latest model OF
high-selling value, while the motorist
who drives the same car for years pays
his depreciation in a lump" when he
finally buys new car, for the sale or
exchange value of his old car is then
very small.

Points to Be Remembered.

A few points to be remembered in
settling the question of whether or not
to change cars annually are the fol-
lowing: The advantage of SO doing is
greatest in times when alterations in
models are very rapid, radical and bene-
fetal. The depreciation in selling value
of a car is. in general. greater during
its first than during any succeeding
year That. in times OF rising list
prices. the allowances on old cars are
not satisfactory. That the automobile
agent depends for his income largely
upon commissions received for the sales
of new cars and has a motive in his ad-
vocacy of the merits of swapping
cars annually That the main advan-
tage of frequently changing cars is the
qualification of possessing the --latest"
rather than of securing better car serv
ice.

Inconvenience Of Washing.

Ice in the batteries is another recog-
nized evil resulting from the cold garage
Also there is the Inconvenience OF wash
ing when the car is covered with frozen
mud If the car Is cleaned with warm
water to remove the mud and the garage
is cold the paint and varnish are apt to
suffer serious damage. says writer in
Motor.
If, or the other hand. the garage is
heated all these difficulties and dangers
are obviated. The place is made comfort
able as a workroom and many little odd
Jobs may be attended to which would
otherwise have to be transferred to the
repair shop. to the pecuniary disadvantage
of the car owner.

When metal parts are to be ex-
posed to the air any length of time.
precaution should be taken to pre-
vent the formation of rust. 1t is Gus
tomary to give such parts a coating
Of grease or oil. but there is a superior
method to this. The parts are covered
with cup grease over which is wrapped
fabric. made by FASTING absorbent
paper on background of burlap. This
covering has the quality Of absorbing
moisture. which latter causes the
formation of rust.

Emergency Brake Powerful.


gency brake is only used in an emer-
gency to stop the car suddenly. 1t Is
extremely powerful and may be ap-
piled too suddenly. causing the car 10
skid.
Another classification of brakes is by
location that is transmission brakes and
wheel brakes. A transmission brake IS
one that sets around a drum on some
part Of the transmission. 1t holds the
turn different ways, thus increasing the
danger Of skidding. A serious dis
advantage on heavy cars Is that the iuil
driving force OF heavy car is applied
to the differential, universal Joint. drive
shaft and other points. straining them
severely. This is not a serious objection
on light car. The only proper place for
a brake to be applied is on drums on the
ways applied here. On account OF the
fact that it can be set, the emergency
brake is used to hold the car when we
leave It.
Brakes should never be applied except
when needed. This sounds like truism.
but has more to 1t than one may think.
The operator should allow the car to coast
to the place where he wishes to stop. let
ting it come to rest without applying the
brake at all. This saves the brakes. the
tires and the mechanism Quite different
is the grandstand play of the novice. He
dashes wildly up to the place where he
wants to stop and rams on both brakes
with a flourish. while his experienced
friend turns away with a plying smile.
Brakes were made for use, not abuse.
It is extremely important to try out
the brakes every time the car Is taken
out Speed up when you have a clear
space ahead Of you and then apply the
brakes. Do this several times with both
foot and emergency brakes. Note whether
the car stops promptly or not or IL it has
q tendency to swing to one side, showing
one wheel to be free and the other one
dragging.

BRAKES NEED GREAT
CARE TO WORK WELL
Only When Operating Properly
Can Greatest Sense Of Sc
curity Be Felt.
TESTS OFTEN ESSENTIAL

Your brake is your best friend in an
emergency, but, like every other good
friend. it must be treated right. IL
working properly it gives you the
greatest sense of security, but II neg
lected your life may pay the penalty.
There are only two kinds OF brakes,
internal and external. The Internal
consists of a heavy ring, which ex-
pands, gripping the brake drum, fas-
tened to the wheel. and so retarding or
stopping it's motion. The internal
brake is called the Internal expanding
or expanding ring brake.
The external brake consists OF a
steel band lined with brake lining,
specially woven fabric of asbestos ana
brass wire. This Is drawn tightiv
around the brake drum, holding IL from
the outside 1t is called the external
contra citing or contracting band brake.
The names service brake and emef-
eency brake do not apply to the brakes
themselves but to the controls. me
pedal usually applies the contracting
band brake, and is called the service
brake, as it is the one ordinarily usea
in service. 1t is not as powerful as the
emergency brake and is better adapted
to service bringing the car gently TO
rest without throwing the passengers
forward or locking the wheels SO that
the car will slide on one spot on the
tire, wearing 1t away.
