At tine ends of both of these are flexi-
BILE joints and if the shaft pulls away
from the instrument even slightly
there will be no registration. This is
because the shaft in turning does not

remedy is to disconneot the shaft at

Detrimental to Solder.

Chlorine is detrimental to the solder
in the radiator, while glycerine is det-
rimental to the rubber hose connec-
tions at the bottom and top of the
radiator, which connect the radiator to
the motor.
Denatured alcohol is the best pre-
ventative against freezing that can be
used. but even this should be used in
quantities proportionate to the water
supply of the motor and radiator
Alcohol should be mixed with water
not only in accordance with the ca
pacity of the cooling system. but with
relation to the varying temperature.
To save excessive use of alcohol,
which is not only expensive but causes
overheating, the autoist should get in
touch with the nearest dealer and find
out from him the number of gallons of
water the entire cooling system will
mold. and the proper mixture of alcohol
and water.
For instance, at a freezing tempera-
ture. down to zero, alcoholic solution
should be used in proportion of Is per
cent alcohol to rs per cent water: at
a temperature to below zero, 30 per
cent alcohol and 10 per cent water; at
Is degrees below zero, 35 per cent al
cohol and 65 per cent water: at %
below zero. 40 per cent alcohol and 60

In replacing a bearing on a front wheel
spindle for which it is a tight fit the
car owner sometimes slips the bearing

This Is poor business, as the strain on
the bearing may break the hardened
shoulder of the inner race, which is
meant to Withstand wear, but not shocks
OF this kind. The best way of accom-
pfshing this work is to slip a short
length OF pipe over the spindle, the in
ner end resting against the inner race
OF the bearing. By hammering the
outer end of the pipe carefully the bear
ing will slip into place without trouble.

CAUTION AS TO ALCOHOL

| 1t is disappointing and expensive for
one to go to a garage on a cold win
| ter morning to find that on account of
| lack of precaution the water pump of
his motor car is frozen, or possibly
the housing Of the pump burst, or the
radiator frozen and burst, or the wa
ter jackets in the cylinder frozen or
burst All of these things cause long
delays and expensive repairs.
Automobile engineers strive to build
motors of the thermo-syphon type and
also of the water pump type, so that
they will be of maximum efficiency
during all periods Of the year, sum-
mer and winter.
The cylinder walls of motor car
get exceedingly cold in the winter
while the car is standing in an un-
heated garage overnight Also the
piston heads and water in the cooling
system are so cold that an enormous
number of heat units are used up in
order to warm up these parts.
Time to Develop Power.
When the motor is cold it takes some
little time, with the motor running
slowly, to reach the point where it
exerts it's full power This point is
reached when the water has become
heated and properly circulated and
the oil has become thin for proper
fabrication of the pistons, bearings,
etc.
Power is lost. in the motor by over
heating as we'll as overcooling. For the
winter months an antf-freeZe solution
in proper quantity should be put in the
motor and kept there until the freez-

"The rationing OF sugar for manu-

absolutely necessary that all manufac'

The sugar situation in the United
States Is far from encouraging, accord
ing to officials, owing to lowering OF
the sugar beet acreage In this coun'
try, and the lack Of transportation ia
cilities by which sugar could be
brought from Cuba and the Islands.

SAVING STAMPS QUOTA
IS TEN THOUSAND.

This school district is expected to
pledge $4,000 in War Savings
Stamps next week Friday, June 2Sta.
The above amount is the quota we
are asked to meet for the entire drive.
A very fair start has been made. but
We have not been going fast enough.
Uncle Sam needs the money and we
need to do the saving.
This may be the hardest quota that
we have yet had to meet in this sec
tion. Crop prospects are not tlater-
ing. 1t means that the money we
have thought we could spend for i'm
proyements and for recreation is not
in sight. The need for saving Is upon
the people here as 1t has not pressed
upon them for the past four or five
years.
While the above is true, we have
not stopped useless expenditure yet to
any appreciable extent. This we
should do. Not dollar should ne
wasted; and we should strain every
nerve to meet the calls of the govern
ment for finansial aid.
The waste here is great, the saving
can meet tae Iuo.a. and II should be
done.
You do not have to buy now,> but
you should pledge that you will buy.
The pledge is not an interest bear
ing obligation; in that it differs from
a bond subscription.
II really is sending word to Uncle
Sam that We are coming, and that we
will strengthen the financial lines at
home, so that the line in France and
italy may hold.
We must forget our troubles, when
we contemplate what the boys in
France face.
Raymer must meet Its quota.
