GIVE TIRES GOOD ATTENTION
Projecting Fender Bolts or insufficient
Clearance VIII Cause Damage
to Castings.

Be careful that a sharp turn of the
front wheels does 20 bring the tire in
contact with a spring, fender or bump
er. As the wheel turns this projection
will quickly cut through the tread of
the tire. When the car is heavily
loaded there is danger hat in passing
over rough roads the tires will be
bumped or gouged by projections on
the tenders.
Bent or broken tenders may also be
in a position where they will gouge the
tires. Inspect beneath the fender and
make sure that there are no projec-
lions which could strike upon the tire.
You may find bolts rubbed smooth on
the tires.
If a change is made to oversize tires
i've sure that there will be sufficient
clearance between tire and fender
when the car is loaded to capacity.
This is, however. provided by most car
manufacturers.

NO ROOM FOR
PESS|M|SM
Canada as a Nation Builder.

With Canada's great task in the
war before the public, the burdens
that she so willingly took and SO ably
carried, and her recent victory in sub
scribing $175,0O0,000 to the 9Th Vic
tory Bond Loan more than she asked,
he would be a skeptic who would as
sociate the word pessimism with her
present condition. Canada deplores
the heavy human loss which she mas
suffered, but even those akin to those
lost in battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. 1t may
well be said there is no room in Can
ada today for the pesslmist. The ag-
ricultural production of the country
has doubled in four years. S140,000,-
600 are the railway earnings today
or 31s times what they were ten years
ago, while the bank deposits are now
81, T33, 100000 as compared with $133,-
100000 thirty years ago.
There is q wonderful promise for
the future.
1t is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era OF peace. She has tri-
umphed vel the soul-testing crisis of
war. Before the war Canada was a
borrower, and expected to continue so
for many years. For the past year and
a half we have seen her finance her.
self. She has also been furnishing
credits to other nations.
A recent article in the "Boston
Transcript" says:
"The people at home have not been
tagging behind the boys at the front in
courage, resourcefulness and efficiency.
The development of Canada's war in
dustry is an industrial romance of
front rank. American Government Of
ficials can testify to the efficiency of
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up in four short years. In De-
partment after Department where they
found American industry failed them
they were able to turn to Canada. The
full story may be revealed some day."
The same paper says:
at is q new Canada that energies
from the world war in 191S-a nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict in 1914.
1.-THE war has taken from Canada a
cruel toll. More than $4,000 of her
bravest sons lie in soldiers graves in
Europe. Three times that number
have been more or less incapacitated
by wounds. The cost Of the war in
money is estimated to be already
81, 100, 100000. These are not light
losses for a country of S,OOO,O 900 people.
Fortunately there is also a credit side.
Canada has found herself in this war.
She has discovered not merely the gal
lantry of her soldiers, but the brains
and capacity and efficiency of her
whole people. In every branch, in
arms, in industry, in finance, she has
had to measure her wits against the
world, and in no cast has Canada rea-
son to be other than gratifed."-Ad-

APPLY WIRE TO TERMINALS
Correct Way Of Performing Operation
Is to Keep Turning to Right to
Avoid untwisting.

In applying wire to terminals, the cor
rect way to perform the operation is
to twist the bare end of the wire
around the terminal In the same dlrec-
ton that the hands of a clock owe.
This is because the screw thread is
right handed and the tendency In
tightening the nut will be to twist the
wire tighter even than 1t vas If the
wire is twisted the other way, the nut
tends to untwist it, making its hold
uncertain.

Eyewitness Story of U-Boat Surrender Makes Greatest Naval His

New York.-The most remarkable
element of this remarkable war has
been its coincidence, says a CORE

witnessed the surrender of the first
lot of submarines by the Germans. On
that tense November morning when
through the gray mists of the North
sea came creeping the first score o.
boats to surrender to the British navy

stroyer, III. NJ. S. Melampus.
The setting for the last act of the
terrible sea drama of this century was
itting-a still morning with the mists
just breaking, a forlorn silver moon
lingering, though the red sun was
beaming through in the east. Above
our heads was a patch of green and
lemon sky, and the North sea lay with
hardly a rufie, gray with a hint of
gold, like the pulsation of a hidden
light.
A British light cruiser-one of the
newest-with ~destroyers on either
flank headed in the line of surrender.
Two German hospital ships used as
transports-the Sierra Ventant and
the Titania-followed them. One af-
ter another, long low phantoms, some
white, some dappled, some black, came
out of the mist, their crews standing
on deck like a black fence. no colors
showing and no sound.
After some maneuvers the process
sion stopped and before us lay seven
submarines. with others out of vision.
The sun had grown stronger and the
light cruisers and destroyers were
picked out In white in their beautiful

yellow flag, in the chief position.

ders and crews who were to take over
the German submarines the British
ships seemed to form a circle, and
everywhere n turned there was a
British white ensign at the peak. The

he navigated his ship into harbor. An
