Getting the Car
Home, Even if
Pump Breaks
This Tells How to Make the
Journey Without Damag-
ing Engine
BY William H. Stewart, Jr.


Failure of the water pump places the
driver in serious predicament. The
driver finds it an awkward situation. as
he wants to get the car to repair sta
ton in the shortest possible time and
yet doesn't want to harm the engine.
BY observing the following hints the
inexperienced person can take his car
home as carefully as would a veteran
driver:
OF course he must first satisfy him
self that the pump has failed. If the
shaft is seen to be broken there can
be no doubt. But if the shaft is turn
ing and still the engine is overheating
one must establish the fact beyond a
doubt that the pump has failed. Hold
ing the back of the hand to the bottom
Of the radiator against the tubes is a
good test. If the bottom is cold the
pump is not working.
When the pump is working normally
it draws the cold water from the bot
tom of the radiator and the hot water
comes down, making the bottom hot as
we'll as the top. If the bottom is cold,
therefore, it shows that the pump is
not circulating the water.
If this test is not we'll understood
open the filling cap at top of radiator
and look in. II the water is seen to
be in motion the pump is moving it.
If it is stationary the pump is not
working.
Having satisfied yourself that the
pump has failed and that there is no
way of repairing it, then it becomes
necessary to get the car home with the
least possible damage to the engine.
The first requirement is to see that the
radiator is filled with water to the
top. Establish thermo gravity circula-
ton. All cooling systems are now de-
signed along these lines, which simply
means that the water enters the bot
tom of the water jackets and leaves at
the top. The cold water from the radi-
ator pushes the hot water out of the
water jackets and back into the radi-
ator, where it becomes cooled and
heavy and, therefore, able to continue
the action.
Most all the water pumps are now
of the centrifugal type, which permits
the water to circulate freely through
even if the pump has stopped The
only requirement is to have the radi-
ator completely filled so that free
circulation may be obtained This is
extremely important as the water will

More From Doc Perciual

The amazing proportions Of the
American motor truck transport in
France and the remarkable work it is
doing are described by Captain Charles
G. Percival in letter to Walter Woods,
Of the Van Cortlandt Vehicle Corpora

The captain also tells about the work
of the salvage corps, which practically
let's nothing go to waste after it is
discarded by friend or foe. The letter
follows:

We get everything that the mobile

The stuff we cannot use we send

These figures show registration of

The decrease in the number of
dealers is probably answered by the
concentration of lines, that is, one
man having the handling of two or
three makes of cars. where formerly
each one had separate representation.
AS for motorcycles, you can't tell on
the roads on Sundays that there are
less of them. No doubt, their owners
having gone to war explains the fall
ing off in their registration.

The Festival Dancers

Tonight at the Neighborhood Play
house the Festival Dancers will present
a Festival of Pentecost. The produc-
ton has been made in honor of the
twenty-hfth anniversary Of the Henry
Street Settlement. In the Pentecost, or
midsummer festival, is shown a con-
ception of the harvest celebration that
lla9 come down through the ages, pre-
"a in the Hebrew ritual and in the
folk tradition of almost all lands.
The first scene of the festival shows
the dances and merrymaking of a
simple agricultural people. The second
scene symbolizes the religious observ-
ance of the feast, first in the ancient
and almost universal Offering of the
first fruits, then in the later and more
conscious significance of Pentecost as
the birthday Of the Torah, commemo-
rating the giving Of the Sinaitic law.
The last scene is an Interpretation of
the abstract meaning Of the midsummer
feast-the dedication of youth to serv-
ice. Following the basic pilgrimage

brew agricultural festivals are founded
Youth beholds the Vision of Life as q
bridge over which pass all things
earthly and divine, wayfarers to the
ultimate goal Of spiritual freedom.

A Lady's Past

Louise Beaudet, who plays Mrs.
Stokes, the matchmaking mother, in
"Flo-Flo," has had a most interesting
career. Born in Tours, France, she was
taken by her mother to Paris to live
about the time when she had learned to
talk. There she was introduced to the
mysteries of the theatre and began the
cultivation of her voice. Victor Hugo,
who was friend of Miss Beaudet's
mother, was instrumental in instilling
in the young mind the desire to become
famous, but when troubles came she
and her mother moved to New York.
Here she learned English with VOL
ume of Shakespeare as her textbook.
When she was about twelve years old
Miss Beaudet accompanied Aimee, the
French actress, who was then in this
country, in "The Little Duke" She
stayed with Aimee about two years,
when her voice began to fail her from
overwork, but, giving no heed to her
physicians advice to leave the stage,
she became the ingenue of the Baldwin
Theatre Stock Company, in San Fran
cisco. During her engagement there
she was cast for such characters as
Pauline in "The Lady of Lyons"
Ophelia in Hamlet" Desdemona in
"Othello," Coris in "Narcisse" and Lady
Macbeth.
She then went on a four years tour
with the tragedlan, Daniel E. Bandmann
and upon her return to America became
a member of Rudolph Aronson's opera
company. After leaving this organiza-
ton she Joined Pauline Hall, with
whom she played in "Puritana." Now
followed engagements with Abbey 8
Grau, at the Auditorium in Chicago, as
Progress In "America," which ran fo1
eight months at the Worlds Fair, and
starring engagement at The head Of
her own company, the Louise Beaudet
Opera Bouffe Company, in a repertory
of French opera bouffe.

Dressing a Ne1v BABY

This will arouse the interest Of wom-
en- and the pity Of men. The feminine
interest Is In the gowns talked Of, while
the pity Of men will go out to the un-
fortunate male who foots the bills.
"Rock-a-Bye Baby" which opened
last Wednesday at the Aston, came to
town with several things worth talking
about, and in its advertising refers to
the girls all dressed up by Lucille"
And they are. Dressing up a single
woman, even though she be the most
frugal Of wives, is no slight undertake
ing these war-price days, and many q
man has grown op-shouldered be-
meath the burden. What, then, do you
imagine the dressmaking bill comes to
when one woman becomes twoscore
women? Expert mathematicians shud-
der at the problem.
Al eAc HIst pace, every costume
worn by every woman in "Rock-a- Bye
Baby" was designed exclusively by Lu-
cile for her in the particular part she
plays. That is, every gown but one,
but that's another story, and where
there are more than 100 gowns to be
talked of why worry about one?
Just to get down to the hard, cold
cash facts which every man can under
stand, the bill for dresses, capes, hats
and negligees in "Rock-a-Bye Baby
alone mounted far into the thousands
of dollars. And promptly every man
who chances to read this says "Ouch.'
and every woman merely breathes q
little more rapidly and murmurs: "Oh
but aren't they lovely!"
And the truth is both are correct.
1t is doubtful if a more tempting
display of clothes has been spread
before feminine eyes this year. More
over every man is entitled to say
"Ouchl" for that is all he is going t.
