"A LITTLE ADVICE NOW AND THEN
 IS RELisHED BY THE BEST OF MEN"

somewhat. The owner should there- fore tighten the nuts which hold the clips securely in place. This should be done after the first 800 miles and as often after that as is convenient.
 The spring shackles and shackle bolts should receive more than the usual att tention. Where grease fabrication IS provided one should make certain that grease gets to the bearing surfaces. Turn down the cup until grease oozes out around the ends of the bolt.
 Side play in shackles is no uncom- mon complaint in cars of this type. This is at once noticed because of the peculiar and annoying sound emitted, which often sounds like a loose fender or other metal parts. This is because the sound originates in a wheelhouse the space inside the lenders, and there is magnified.
 Recently a number of complaints have come to the writer regarding the breakage or loosening of front universal joints on cars with Hotchkiss drive It is quite easy to see that if the springs do no- do their work properly the propeller shaft and uni versals will have to take on the work and naturally they will suffer in very short time. The shaft will have to take a little strain of this kind. but If the springs are properly frightened in place no injury will come to either part.
 In some of the first designs of cars using Hotchkiss drive it was noticed by the/drivers that the car would tend to hold back or brake itself under certain conditions This was because the springs allowed too much move ment of the rear axle when the car was started or when an abrupt change in speed was made. In the cars in question 10 change was made in the brake layout, so that every time the rear axle turned slightly the brakes were automatically applied One is likely to get the same result in some of the recent designs, if the springs are not tightly in place or if they are weak and allow too much freedom of movement to the rear axle.
 The average owner of car whether
 it uses Hotchkiss drive or not rare- ly pays any attention to the members 1 that have to do the important work
 of transmitting the propulsive force.
 In the case of a torque member it is
 constantly moving at it's forward end
 even if the road is only slightly rough l There is provision for lubricating the joint at the front end, but being hid- den it makes it hard for the owner
 to give it the necessary attention. If not attended to wear is very rapid, the joint becomes noisy and in light
 cars is likely to rattle like a loose i brake rod. It also does not perform
 it's function properly when it is badly
 worn.

December 10, 1915, because / had looked upon this
letter as a conclusion to a correspondence, already
long drawn out, about the ministry and preaching of
clergy.
But your Exceency has inclosed with this let
ter an extract from the Vingtieme Steele, which
might give room for misunderstanding. Your EX-
celency underlnes in correspondence alleged to
have been sent from Brussels to Havre a passage
where it is said: "The example which has been given
to the Belgian clergy by the head of the episcopate
the program he has drawn up for them in his famous
pastoral letter, have fired the zeal Of the most faint
hearted" conjecture that the intention of your Ex-
cency in calling my attention to these two lines is
to insnuate that if unguarded words be spoken in
church the author Of the pastoral letter Of November
1914, would be responsible.
In the early days of January 1915, had the
honor of writing to your Excellency that my letter
would keep up the courage of people and
would prevent the seditious uproar which the German
authorities, in their alarm expected. Sure as l was
of my ground, refused to withdraw my letter and
gave orders to the clergy to read it. A whole years
experience must have proved to the most pesslmlstc
minds that forecasts correct and that there
fore ought to be of mind in wishing to har
monize the regulations and disciplinary measures Of
the occupying power with the respect due to the
patriotism and the national dignity of the Belgian
people. In substance, this is what the article in the
Vingtieme Steele means and in that can only
agree with it.
Kindly accept, sir, the assurance of my sincere
esteem.

HOU the Truth Was Gmbied

The truth Of the matter is this:
A vicar of the town. the superior of the Christian
Brothers, and several reverend professors of the college
had been summoned by the communal authorities for
sentry duty during the night. At this the Dean
Van Reeth went at once to the town hall In the alb
of the burgomaster he received by official
who told him that the orders had been given by the
Germans. With view Of finding out for himself the
exact meaning of these orders the dean went to
the Commandant the latter declared that he had indeed
given orders that the telephone wires should be guarded
by the magnates of the town. but that he had not spec
fed any particular class of persons.
The dean hastened to write to the burgomaster the
following letter.
Sr-I forbid all priests and religious of my dis
trict to act as sentres to guard the telephone line
and ! assume myself the responsibility for this re
fusal
In spite of the entrcatcs addressed to him. the dean
refused to withdraw his prohibition. The communal
authorities summoned civilians to take the place of the
rccalcitrant priests and the incident was closed.

Before Leaving for Rome the Cardinal Again
Recommends to Won Bissing the Moral and
Religious Interests of the Political Prisoners
Archbishop's House, Malines,
January II. 1916

Archbshop's House, Malines,
January II, 1916.
TO His Excellency Baron Bssing Governor Gen
eral, Brussels.
Sir-At the time of leaving Belgium, for few
days, ] take the liberty of calling your attention
again to the religious and moral interests which
are suffering check in the prisons and rooms
Of the Kommandantur.
Nearly all those detained and their number has
always been increasing put into solitary conine
ment from the time of their arrest and remain there
till their trial. The German authorities have made it
rule to forbid prisoners in solitary confinement to
assist at religious services. The upshot of this is
that these victims of the great misfortune which Bel
gium is undergoing, though they have for the most
part done nothing with which their conscience re-
proaches them, are, in fact, robbed of all comfort
for their souls and exposed to the dangers Of moral
depression.
This kind of life sir, is unbearable and shall
deem it my duty to notify it to my supreme chief,
the sovereign pontiff.
The German authorities have no valid grounds
for upholding such regime.
In fact the arrangements of the prison are such
that each prisoner is in different pew, whence he
neither his neghbor nor communicate with
him. The warden, stationed at the center Of the
semicircle, can see all the pews
Besides this the priest who says the and
who breaches is a German. Your Excelency will call
to mind that having in view the keen patriotic feel
ings of the prisoners, had asked that Belgian
priest might administer to the wants OF religion in
regard to Belgian prisoners, under the guardianship
of the German administration, and that this request
has been shelved The German chaplain alone there
fore is able to influence the prisoners by word or
deed. For the last time, beg your Excellency to
have pity so many souls; there ar. more than 400
prisoners at this moment untred at Brussels suffer
ing from the stunting of their moral and religious
instincts.

IMPRESSIVE DEMONSTRATIONS IN THE

For the house of God is the only place where one

by the peals of the organ the hymns dear to pa

The Belgian clergy, regular and secular, is equal
to its task in these days of public mourning. The
ample given to them by the head of the episcopae the
program he has drawn up for them in the famous pas

hearted.
