Save THE STEAM
FOR MUNITIONS
AND FOR GRAIN
Commercial Travellers Espe-
CialIy Urged to Make
More Extensive Use
of Autos.

According to the latest available
crop reports issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
wheat acreage in this country is
something over % per cent in excess
Of last years acreage. And while it
is impossible to say exactly what the
yield will total, it is estimated that
approximately 10000, 600 bushels more
that the average for the past FIVE
years will be harvested. 1t is evident
that the transportation of this enor-
nous crop. in addition to the tre-
mendous war transportation require
ments, will throw an intellectually
heavy strain on the railroads during
the approaching fall and winter" says
Charles A. Tucker OF the Nebraska
Oldsmobile company. a
Use Autos More.
"Of course the governments action
in raising passenger rates and curtail-
ing baggage privileges has auto
matically restricted railroad travel to
a very considerable extent. But that
isn't enough--not by half--it is up to
every man and woman who travels to
use the railroads just as little as is
absolutely essential
Travelling men, particularly, can do
much to help. | know of dozens Of
men who have simply motorized their
routes and quit using the railroads al
together. In cases where the terri
tory covered is not too widely scat
tered this method not only saves time,
but actually keeps down the expense
account. In some cases, travelling
men to whom we have sold cars say
that they surely will continue to use
them in their work even should after
the-war conditions result in normal
rail rates.
Another way in which steam
power is being conserved and can be
conserved to greater extent is by sub
shutting the automobile for the oc-
casional business trip or family tour.
While the motor car usually provides
the most pfeasurable mode of travel,
there may be times when its use will
require some little sacrifice of time
or convenience. But sacrifice is the
spirit OF the day and the national need
is so great that nobody can afford to
overlook any chance to render even
indirect service"

Battery Must Be Adjusted
to Meet Changed Conditions

"Unless adjusted to meet the
changed conditions of touring, the
generator will force more electricity
into the battery than the battery is
called upon to furnish to the start
err" says Elmer Rosengren, of the
Nebraska Storage Battery company.
CAS- a result the battery will be over
heated and may be seriously damag-
ed.
1T is advisable for the touring mo-
torist to feel of the battery cell con-
nections once in a while. If they
seem more than blood warm to- the
touch it is safe to assume that the
Battery is hotter than is good for it.
A very simple remedy for this diff

lights while driving, even in the day.
time for the remainder of the day.
THE best way to prevent such a
necessity, however, is to have your
generator adjusted to touring condi-
tons before you start, on the princi-
pie that it is better to prevent an
overheated condition than to cure it
after it has started.

Adjusting Brakes.

After adjusting brakes it should be
ascertained that the wheels run
freely. This is done by lacking up
the rear wheels and turning them
by hand. If resistance is encountered
and a .,scraping sound issues from the
wheel as it revolves, the chances are
that the brakes are dragging. In the
case of fabric Innings this trouble NAV
be cured by prying the band with a
screwdriver or similar tool. 1t is wise
when on tour to put the hand on the
brakes during halts, as dragging will
be indicated by heating of the drums.
The driver of a car having wire
wheels should give this equipment
an occasional detailed inspection for
the purpose Of locating possible loose
spokes. While the wire wheel is so
resilient that it usually suffers no
damage from an ordinary bump, at the
same time, it occasionally happens
that spoke is loosened. In cases
where the enamel has been cracked
off aslittle paint should be applied to
forestall rust, M :.

Installing Bearings.

When driving ball bearings into,
place, some form of soft metal yoke
or tubular section should be used. In
this way the hammer blows. are dis
tributed evenly and the bearing is
driven home without injury. In u.s.
ing double yoke member, offe prong
can be placed against the inner race,
while the other rests on the outer
race. In removing a bearing or part,
the pressure should be applied where
the part is a tight fit on the shaft or
in the housing. As a general thing
the inner race is tight fit on the shaft,
while the outer race is a push fit in
the housing. When it is necessary
to use blows in removing bearing,
brass or babbitt metal bar or a
block of hard wood should be inter
posed between the hammer and the
part. Also the blows of the hammer
should not be all directed at one
point, but scattered around, giving
