IMPERFECT BRAKES

Of the policeman at the street inter
section have you noticed az times how
the rear wheels OF the automobile

one buzz round while the other locks?
That peculiarity Is the penalty Of
faulty brake adjustment. The locked
tire Is called upon to resist the pres
sure of automobile and pavement
alone, the consequence very often be-
ing a badly gouged tread.
Before a man sets out in his auto
mobile he should give a thought to
his brakes. He should see that both
brakes grasp with equal effectiveness
and that the brake Innings are clean
and dry.
IL one brake Il looser than the
other, not taking hold simultaneously,
not only IL the locked tire damaged,
a great piece gouged out OF the tread.
but the safety Of the motorist himself
il jeopardiZed. Properly adjusted
brakes give him perfect control over
his motor and respond to his touch.
You can see tires with q section

Insofar as probable increases in

that nearly all the larger concerns
have already announced their price
schedules for 1918. and that these

An annoying squeak which Is some
times difficult to locate Is caused by
the edges OF the doors rubbing. This
rubbing is occasioned by a slight sag
ging Of the body in the center and It
may be cured by placing q leather
washer OF the required thickness
around the body bolt, between the
body and the frame.
Sometimes q sharp kissing sound Is
heard at intervals and seeming to
come from one Of the cylinders Of
ten this Is mistaken for a leak, but
the irregularity Of its occurrence de-
Stroys this hypothesis. as a leak
would occur at every period of high
compression. The sound 10 due to an
unfired charge, which fills the exhaust
port and is ignited when the next fired
charge passes the valve. Such a miss
fire may be due to weak mixture or to
intermittently faulty ignition.
1t sometimes happens that the bolts

ly do not expand as much. For this
reason less clearance should be al
lowed between the stems and push
rods than Is allowed between the
stems and push rods of exhaust
valves.
A little dodge that saves much
times on occasion is the marking of
the numerous electric wires on the
modern car with different colored
paint. Simply band one wire with
red, another with green, a third with
blue, etc. In this way, when It is
necessary to race down the various
wires to locate some trouble that has
developed, there Is little hardship in
conducting the search.
The average car owner may be sur
prised to learn that banging the car
doors is a bad practice. Shocks of
this kind often cause the enameled
finish to chip and fall of, to the de-
triment Of the cars appearance.
In the old days platinum was not
quite so expensive as it is now, and
IN the screws of old magnetos and
contact coils there was often in
serted a goodish sized piece OF
rlatinum. BY using a file carefully
it Is possible to remove the brass
and reclaim the platinum, when 1t
can be soldered upon the end OF a
new screw.
1t Is often convenient to have a
cement that will resist considerable
temperatures. Here is the recipe for
good heat withstanding cement:
Take fifty parts of sulphur, one part
Of resin, and one part Of tallow.
Melt these ingredients together and
add fine powdered glass to form a
paste. This cement must be heated
before being used.

Keep the Children in School.

1t has been found that high
wages paid for labor and the high
cost OF living, have served to take
many children from the schools. An
organized effort is being made by
the National Children's Bureau of
the Department of Labor to correct
the evil. Evil is what it is, and a
very serious one.
There has not been a time in the
history of the nation when the need
of trained minds has been greater
than it will be in the years follow
ing the close of the war. There is
to be a period of reconstruction
and readjustment that will call for
the best thought of the nation.
The boys and the girls of today
will soon be the men and women
of the country, and the future well
fare of the nation will be committed
to their care. What is to be done
must not be left to political dema-
gogues who care much more for
themselves than they do for their
country. There must be men and
women who can see through such
demagogues and put them to si-
lence.
While we are engaged in the
training and preparation of millions
of men for military service, the boys
and the girls should be trained for
opportunities and demands for serv-
ices of skilled men and women after
the war.-KnoxvilIe Journal and
