OIL FOR THROW-OUT COLLAR
There Are Several SeIf-Feeding Cups
on Market Which May Be Used
for This Purpose.

In certain cars it is necessary to
remove the floor boards in order to
Intricate the clutch throw-Out collar.
AS a consequence many car owners
neglect this important item of lubri-
cation, until trouble in the units
makes the need evident. In cases Of
this kind where no provision has been
made for fabrication by having
grease cup that extends up through
the floor boards it will be wise to in
stall an oil line to feed this part. This
can easily be done by arranging a
large oil cup to feed through small
opening into metal pipe running to
the throw-Out collar. 1t is necessary
to have small opening, SO that the
flow of oil will not be too rapid, for
obvious reasons. There are several
self-feeding oil cups on the market,
which may be used to advantage in
this connection.

method of immuniZation produced by
the disease.
But the constant arrival at these
ports of nonimmune persons from the
interior or from other countries keeps
the infection alive as long as the mos
ouitoes which convey the disease are
in these ports. There is nearly al
ways sufficient number Of cases OF
yellow fever in existence TO infect
these mosquitoes, and when new arri-
walls are bitten they are likely TO de-
velop the fever, and so TO keep the
epidemic going from one new arrival
to another. The only safe way to get
rid of the fever. therefore. is to get

the necessary material. In fact, any
thing that will enable your car to get
on solid ground is cheaper than wait
ing all night for assistance.
One of the cleverest uses for the
jack was seen recently, when wound
ed soldier drove into town in heavy
car that had a broken spring. AS he
had a crippled leg, he was not strong
enough to lift the body of the car to
place a bumper or log between the
axle and the frame. But he had wise
ly provided himself with small low
jack, which conveniently fitted into the
space between the axle and the body.
The Jack is Indispensable during the
spring Overhauling or when there are
bent parts TO the body or frame. For
example, bent body parts may be
Strengthened by giving the jack lev
erage against the garage wall.
Jacks have long been used in
garages that are not equipped with
huge machinery for Strengthening bent
frames and even front axles. In addi-
ton to this, when Strengthening bent
frame with jack the chassis does not
need to be dismantled. as it would If

Every jack should be fitted with a
twO-inch block of wood as broad and
long as will conveniently fit into the
car. If the jack is so equipped, it will
allow the car to be lacked up out of

To Rid Ecuador
of Yellow Fever

the most prominent of them all, hav-
Cuba, made sanitation for Panama
model for the world, and carried the
medical and surgical work of the
United States army TO degree of eff
ficiency never known in any army of
the world before, during the war.
The west coast of South America
has been severely handicapped in Its
shipping and commercial business by
the existence of centers of yellow fe-
yer infection in number of places,
especially at Buenaventura, the Pa
cific port Of Colombia, and Guayaqull
the commercial metz opolis and port of
Ecuador. A rigid quarantine has had
to be maintained al Panama against
all these ports of western South
America. resulting in much delay to
passengers who have to be held in
quarantine at Panama until known to
be free from infection; while cargoes
have frequently had to be fumigated
against mosquitoes and rats, with
UluCli loSs VI llilt anu ilpIl's anu w
casional damage to the cargo.
Two Difficulties Overcome.
Two difficulties have been in the
way of Graduating these diseases
from these ports. One has been the
financial expenses, which would be a
heavy charge upon the governments
of the countries involved, and the
relative failure of the people at large
to appreciate the necessity of i'm
proved sanitation.
The Rockefeller foundation is help
ing to solve the first of these difficult
ties, and Is indirectly also promoting
the spread of information among the
people so as to reduce the Indifference
on the subject. The healthfulness of
the Isthmus of Panama has been a
good advertisement for sanitation TO
South American travellers.
One of the main difficulties In
arOusing public sentiment to demand
the thoroughgoing elimination of en-.
demic diseases has been the fact that
the population of the ports involved
have become more or less immune

SPARK PLUG TROUBLES

Two frequent causes Of spark
plug trouble are oil or particles
of carbon collecting between the
points and sooting of the porce-
lain. The first mentioned is
remedied by carefully removing
the oil or carbon and thus clear
ing the gap. If the carbon on
the porcelain is hard, do not at
tempt to scrape it off. Soak the
porcelain in kerosene or liquid
carbon remover until the carbon
is soft enough to wipe off clean
ly with q cloth.
Points out of adjustment or
burned away will also cause
missing. The points should be
adjusted to gap of from one
thirty-secOnd to One-sixtyfOurth
of an inch, depending upon the
ignition system, carburetOr ad-
justment and design of motor.

MOST CONVENIENT TIRE TOOL

weapons for use in tire repairing is a
little wedge of wood, three-quarters Of
an inch thick and three to five inches
long, depending ON the size of tires
used. This wedge is slipped in be-
tween the beads and can be pulled
around the entire circumference of
the tire with one hand, while the 9TH

much easier than trying to use both
hands to force the casing open. while
holding 1t on the shoulder.

Jokers Kidnap Bride
on Wedding Night

Brownell of this town was the
victim of an impractical" joke,
in his opinion, when friends Of
the young man kidnapped his
bride following the ceremony,
took her to the home Of one of
the young women conspirators
and held her a prisoner until the
following morning.
Shortly after the wedding
cake had been cut an auto drew
up in front Of the door and the
appearance Of the bride was the
signal for action by the kidnap-
ers. She was hurried into the
machine, which sped away at
full speed. Not until the next
morning was she returned to the
disgruntled husband, who ad-
mits he failed to see the Joke.

Heat is the inevitable concomitant
Of friction. When the brakes have
been too tightly adjusted, friction re-
suits and the unit becomes hot. 1t is
a good plan to feel the brake drum
after an adjustment has been made
and the car run awhile, for if the parts
are too tight, the heat present In the
