Happy Jack Squirrel Is Wor-
ried.

1t is surprising how quickly the little
people of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows become used to a thing. AS
soon as they understood what the flying
giant was, a machine built by man, they
gave no more attention to it. They had
found that it would not harm them and
| with this their interest ceased. and each
one went on about his business as usual.
Happy Jack Squirrels business at this
time Of year is, as everybody knows. the
filling of his storehouse with food for
the winter. This year Happy Jack had
made discovery which worried him so
that he was growing thin instead Of fat,
as he should have been growing at this
season of the year. This discovery was
! that there were mighty few chestnuts.
! This was bad enough in itself, but what
| was worse was the discovery that very,
very many Of the chestnut trees were
! dead or were dying.
| Happy Jack had known other seasons
| when chestnuts were scarce, and he had
had to work very hard to get enough.
! But he had had the comfortable feeling
/, that next year they probably would be
as plentiful as they then were scarce.
Now there was no such comfortable
| feeling. In fact, he knew that another
year lIleIS WOulu 10 lever 1luIS LQdu
! there were this year. It was this which
worried him SO.
| Happy Jacks cousin, Chatterer the
Red Squirrel, had made the same dis
| covery. For once the two cousins stop
I ped to talk without quarreung. As
rule. you know. they do not get along
| together at all.
| 'It seems to me you are looking thin,"
barked Chatterer, as he met Happy Jack
at the foot Of chestnut tree, a long
way from home.
Il am thin," replied Happy Jack 1T
have good cause for being thin. It
doesn't strike me that you have any fat
| to boast about yourself
| 81 haven't" chuckled Chatterer. 'Tve
run it all Off hunting for chestnuts."
Then he grew very sober. '1t looks

TO OVERCOME WIRE TROUBLE
Some Owners Have Remedied Diffi
Guilty by Holding Tube In Place
With Wooden BIocka

Owners of many medium and low
price cars have endless trouble with
the wire controls for the ignition unit
and carburetor, the trouble being due
chiefly to the inability Of the control
to move the part because the tube
housing the wire moves with the wire.
To operate properly the tube must re-
main fixed, otherwise there viii be lit
tie II any movement, and any opera
tion of the spark advance lever will
produce no results. OF course, the
best thing to do is to get q good wire
control. but some owners have over
come the trouble in the existing con-
trolls by holding the tube in place by
means Of wood blocks. A wooden
block is cut In two and two grooves
cut In each so opposite grooves coin
eide. The tube is then soldered at
points the same distance apart as the
grooves, SO that the solder rests in
the grooves. The blocks of wood are
bolted to the engine frame, which
usually is the most accessible part.

air-flled space that communicates H.
rectly with the inner tube by Wy of
the valve. Tubes running through the
two disks increase the surface that is
exposed to the air.
AT every revolution of the wheel the
weight of the car rests for an instant
upon the point at which the valve Is
attached. This congresses the tire ut
this point and drives some Of the hot
air from the inner tube into the cool
air space in the body of the wheel.
As the wheel revolves and the pres
sure is taken Off this point, me cool
air flows back into the inner tube.
This. according to the inventor. pro-
duces constant circulation of air and
keeps the tires and tubes cool.
