AUTO USED AS POWER PLANT
Small Machinery May Be Operated
Without Altering Car by Use of
Rigging Shown.

An automobile may be utilized to
furnish power for operating small ma
chinery without altering the car in any
way, by the use of the driving rigging
shown. All that is necessary is to
back the automobile up the slight in
cline, and leave the gears in mesh with
the engine running The tires trans
NIT the power to the 6-lnch rollers, and
they, in turn, to belted drive pulley.
The wooden rollers are feet long.
Each end is fitted with an axle, foot
long, sufficiently heavy to bear the
weight of the automobile used. Two
wooden bearing boxes are built of 3
foot pieces of 2 by 4 inch hard pine,
bolted together and bored through the
middle, for bearings, where the two

LESS TIRES USED IN WINTER
Motorist Does Not Let Out Air During
Extremely Cold Weather and
They Last Longer.

The winter season seems to strength
en- the properly inflated tire.
Underinflation is responsible for a
large percentage of tire expense. Most
motorists think that during the sum-
mer months they should ride their tires
at low pressure to prevent blow-outs.
The decreasing of the pressure does
not decrease the heating of the tire,
but, rather increases it, as the side
walls are subjected to n greater bend
ing strain and friction between the lay
ers of fabric generates heat. Due to
this excessive flexing, tho fabric cracks
and loosens up to sTch an extent that
the tire becomes weakened. The crack
ed and chafed fabric ruins the inner
tube. During the winter season the
motorist does not let the air out of his
tires, as he does in the summer, but
allows his tires to have a greater and
more constant air pressure; hence, the
percentage of tires consigned to the
scrap heap is much less in winter than
in summer.

KEEPING AUTO ENGINE WARM
Electric Device, Which Consumes One
Tenth Of kilowatt an Hour,
Solves Problem.

The problem of keeping an automo-
bile engine and radiator warm during
the coolest nights, without the neces-
sity of heating the entire garage, has
been solved by an electric engine and
radiator warmer, which is simply
screwed into any lamp socket in the
garage and placed down In the hood of
the car between engine and radiator.
The body of the heater contains a
rugged heating element which con-
sumes one-tenth of a kilowatt-less
than one cent an hour-and gives off
just enough heat to keep the radiator
from freezing and the engine from
causing trouble. The hood of the car,
however, should be blanketed in Sc
we're weather to hold in the heat. The
heating element is inclosed in black
enameled metal SHE'LL, of shape and
size not unlike the ordinary dry cell.
and perforated to allow for circulation
of the heated air from within.

This attack, the first of large proper

Moncel, virtually on the FrancoGer-

MOST ANNOYING
TROUBLES OF CAR
Constant Squeak Is One of First
Symptoms of Neglect.
MOST DIFFICULT TO LOCATE
If Noise Comes Only When Brake Is
Applied 1t Is Evidently in Brake
Rands-FauIt Also May Be
Found in Springs.

sore of the most annoying troubles
of an automobile is that constant
squeak that cannot be located" says
William III. Stewart, Jr., president of
a prominent automobile school. ut is
one of the symptoms of neglect, and it
cries out to you every time the car
sways or strikes n rough spot or turns
corner or starts or stops or seem
ingly does anything else. AT every
move there is a cry of protest, which
is all the more maddening because you
cannot locate it. If the squeak comes
only when you apply the brakes it is
evidently in the brake bands, but
other squeaks are not so readily To-
Gated.
May Be in Springs.
"The next likely place is in the
springs and spring shackle bolts. The
springs are habitually neglected and
so run dry. In order to prevent this
the leaves should be creased at least
once n month. Jack up the frame to
take the weight of the car off the
springs. Spread the leaves apart, one
by one, prying them open with cold
chisel or metal handled screwdriver
driven by a medium-weight hammer.
This will chip off some of the paint,
but that is unavoidable. Then spread
graphite grease between the leaves by
means of thin knife or a hack saw
blade. AS you cannot reach all the
way to the center where the clips hold
the springs firmly together, use cylin-
der oil mixed with little flake graph
ite. If springs are badly rusted they
should be removed and the rust filed
ofr-a dirty job and tedious one.
They may then be properly creased be-
fore replacing.
''There is n special tool on the mar
ket which may be used to spread the
spring leaves without jacking up the
frame. 1t works as a double wedge
and is very satisfactory.
Quick Method Suggested.
'If time presses use the following
method: Wipe dirt off springs with
waste and kerosene, using plenty of
kerosene and guiding it down the sides
so that it may run in between the
leaves. This it does readily, as it is
not repelled by the rust. Wipe Off the
surplus and then pour some medium
guiding it down the sides in the same
manner. The oil alone would be re-
PEELED by the rust, but the kerosene
has an affinity for it, thins 1t and it
runs in fairly well. Stand on front
spring hangers and rock car or do the
same from each running board. This
action will help spread the oil and so
find the squeak If it is anywhere in the
springs.
"Next turn your attention to the
hood and mud guards. Raise each side
of the hood and see If the strips OF
rawhide are in place. If they are
worn through or missing they must be
replaced. A little neatsfoot oil might
be rubbed into them as an extra pre-
caution. Close hood and see If metal
touches metal at any place. A light
touch of graphite grease should be
applied here and there and particularly
along the hood hinges and where the
rod touches dash and radiator. Now
shake the car again or try 1t out on q
rough road.

armies Russian forces, however, are
reported concentrating at Vitebsk,
and a heavy battle in that neighbor-
hood is believed to be imminent.
Two distinct advances have been
made toward Petrograd, one from the
direction of Riga, on the Baltic sea,
west of the Slav capital, and the other
from the south, through Poland, and
Volhynia province. The Germans re-
port the capture of 1853 guns, 1000
cars of food, 5000 motor cars, one
general, several division officers. AIS

The important railway junction of
Molodechno has been occupied by the
Boches, and the cities of Hapsal, Wer-

of Esthonia has fallen into enemy
hands, while an attack on Mohilev,
great Russian headquarters, may al

Turkish troops have started a drive
in the neighborhood of Trebizond. An
ultimatum sent by the Bolshevilk
troops to the Cossacks was received

that five representatives OF labor would
