of the bravest and best men that It

Ideas and ideals, so far In advance

possess that to know him is to love
the most wonderful spirit that anil
mates him, whose guiding star--tus-

in q thousand ways on the Meuse-

NO NEED TO WORRY.


Big business means big factories,
big pay rolls. big dinner pals. and It
ought to mean not only big wages for
the workers but also big dividends
for the stockholders who put UP the
capital for the enterprise.
Down deep In his heart the real

that this is the truth. He is not the
instigator of strikes. He Is not found
In the rnobs that chase willing work

knows better. for he has learned long

Don't let the American people feel
that the unruly elements are to have
their way. They never have had
them. For nifty years l have watched

keep prices up.
Although wages will fall some
what, Professor Lewis believes that
they will be readjusted TO meet the
needs of labor. This is a result of
a growing recognition on the part
of the employer that wages must not
be reduced while prices ere high.
Labor has gained advantages dur
ing the war that it never had before.
1t is now in a position to enforce de-
mands that it could not have made
two years ago. Employers are be-
ginning to recognize that laborer
and employer were not on the right
terms before tho war and there
seems to be tendency ON the part
of both to make conditions right

!, Pity the sorrows of the poor uni-
versal joint. Compelled to struggle "a

ing TO overcome friction when neglect
ed, shocked almost to the breaking
point. by contact of the rear wheels.
with water bars and mud holes, wrench
ed numerically by sudden use of the
ciutch-still 1t stands up under the
strain. Study its needs and attend to
them, and you will be repaid a hun
dredfold, writes an expert In an ex-
change.
The purpose of universal joint ~
to deliver power from one shaft to
another when out of line or at a
varying angle. The forward end is
fastened to the spine shaft In the gear
box and the rear end to the propeller
shaft going TO the differential and
rear axle. Some manufacturers place
another universal joint near the differ
entail. The two shafts are rarely In
line, so some sort Of flexible coupling
Is necessary, and the present high
grade Joint has been devised.
Shafts Kept Moving.
The gear box rises and falls with
the spring action, but the rear axle
follows the contour of the road. Thus
the two shafts are continually moving
out of line and the need of a flexible
Joint is quite apparent. The angle is
never very great, because any depar+
ture from a straight line loses power.
When the car is properly loaded with
passengers the line will be found to
be very nearly, If not quite, straight.
On account OF its location the Joint
Is often neglected probably more than
any other part of the car. 1t is a
dirty job TO grease or even to inspect
1t, and so 1t is neglected until the
engine is unable to pull the usual hills
on high gear. Frequently the engine
is blamed for this, whereas the fault
is entirely due TO friction in the uni
VerSal joint, gears, and differential.
Long before this trouble arises the
joint should be fabricated.
The old types were covered with a
leather boot difficult TO remove. But
the present type is completely incased
in metal with convenient plug for
greasing. OF course grease gun
must be used and the lubricant forced
in at different angles. Use a light
gear-case compound, one that viii
reach every part readily.
! Avoid Cup Grease.
Do not use cup grease, as X will
not work into the joints, but will
squeeze out and stay out. This also
applies to the lubricant used in gears
and differential. 1t must be of a con
sistency to run in between the gears
as fast as it is forced out.
Now give a good l6ok at the bolts

( NOT A PARTY QUESTION

Many democrats viii wish that the
League of Nations covenant be ac-
cepted in the form agreed upon by
tho President, merely because he and
they are democrats. Many repub-
licans will wish that it be rejected
merely because the President is a
democrat and they are not demo-
Gratis. But to be ruled by such par
tisan feeling is illogical and petty.
Here is matter that concerns US
all, that determines the future rela-
lions of our country to the world
outside. But although it affects us
all equally, it has nothing to do with
domestic politics. Since in any con-
ceivable league every member would
have to surrender for the general
welfare certain part of its sovereign
rights, the fundamental question is,
Shall there be league of nations?
And party principles do not help us
TO answer it.
Nor is there more room for parti-
san controversy about the details OF
the particular draft of a covenant
that has been presented to us. The
only question should be, Is it a good
or a bad scheme as it stands? No
party platform contains any plank
that informs a man who beolngs TO
the party whether he ought to APP
prove or to disapprove the covenant.
We all need to rise to this great
occasion, to make up our minds up
on the brosdest principles and with
all the foresight we have. We are
either going to join in worldwide
covenant, the purpose of which is to
make war as difficult. unsuccessful
and infamous for those who begin It
as is humanely possible, or we are
going to stand aloof. We may refuse
10 Join because we are unwilling to
assume our share of the white mans
burden. We may refuse because we
do not trust our associates. We may
refuse because we sec defects in the
covenant. forgetting that no docu-
ment drawn by man can be perfect
and suit everyone. If we are dill
gent in criticism, we can find other
reasons for not joining; 1but let us
welfare a certain part of its sovereign
the league for any partisan reason.
