Mean Man. This!

She was n charming little thing. but
she was not familiar with the country
and its ways. Still, although she was
from London, that great brute of a
cousin of hers had no right to attempt
to deceive her. He had volunteered to
show her round the farm, and by and
by they strolled into the cow-shed.
"Dear me, how closely the poor cows
are crowded together" she remarked.

"Why?"

A London train was waiting in a dim
station at the end of a dull afternoon.
A nearsighted woman hurried down
the aisle, peering at the passengers,
and at last, as she dropped into a seat
besides another woman, exclaimed
with a sigh of relief:
"Oh, it's you"
Certainly not" snapped a startled
stranger, turning.
Whereupon the mistaken traveller
hastily apologized. II beg your pardon

Leadership Qualities.

The challenge of leadership must he the inner spontaneous response to an outer opportunity or 1t will never last over night.
 Success artists are flooding the world with ready-made recipes for how to win. They forget that you cant put vision where there is no inclina. ton to vision. And where there Is no vision failure Is bound to result. That's why 1t is that so many people never get beyond the point of work ing for the other man. They are just slaves of today. They fear responsi- bility. Loads that bring joy to the heart of the real man crush them. But where men see the possibilities there is no limit to what they may accomplish. At bottom man must have in him something of the soul that appeals and feel the self-mastery that urges him to attempt what others have failed in. It may seem a common thing. but it's one of the assets of sue ceaS.

DATE FROM soLoMoN's TIME
Theory of Archeolo0ists Concerning Ruins In Rhodesla-eaboons Said
 to Be Working Havoc.

Despite the watohmen who nowadays guard the remarkable ruins of Rhode sia. where may perhaps once have been the mines of King Solomon. the latest traveller in that part of Africa reports that the balloons are dealing with the ancient masonry after a very baboonlsh fashion. Century after cen tury the clearness of the atmosphere and the absence of moisture have pre- served the walls of buildings whose original use will probably never be known. It may be reasonably argued. however. that some of them were forti- fcations built for protection against native tribes. and that this part of Africa was a center for the mining and distribution of gold, the very spot, in fact, where Ophir obtained the pre- cious metal that 1t forwarded to the court of Solomon. So far as can be determined, Solomon and the struc- lures were contemporaries, and 1t Is likely enough that the new mysterious relics of remote past were later in the possession of the Phoenicians. Tn the end the mines were exhausted, the civilizations went their way and the spot was forgotten until Portuguese traders found 1t In the sixteenth cen tury. An effort to work the mines was made but abandoned as profitless, and the spot was again forgotten till found by Livingstone. Now it is chiefly in- teresting to archeologists, who are re- sponsible for the watchmen. But the balloons apparently are too lively for the local police.

AN INTERESTING ITEM
 CONCERNING TRUCKS

An interesting item of news to com mercial vehicle owners is the state- ment of the Republic distributor in Southern California that between March and November 15 of this year 332 Republic trucks were sold in the Southern California Republic terri tory.
 z. A. Bissonnette, local distributor for this popular make of trucks when questioned concerning the reason for so many sales, stated he was proud of that record, and that the popularity of the Republic had so spread through out the United States that the Re- public factory produces and sells more commercial vehicles than any other manufacturer of motor trucks in the world. In fact, the Republic officials are proud to claim. that their pro- fduction alone exceeds the total produc- tion of twenty-five other makes of commercial vehicles.

THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT

To mend tear in the top it is best to use woolen yarn to draw the edges together, after which a top of mate rial similar to that of the top is ap- piled with rubber cement, set by the vulcanizer.
 The question is frequently asked in regard to the actual benefits of four wheel drive. The answer is almost obvious. With the application of trac- tive effort at four points, the front wheels have lifting effect which en- ables the truck to climb over an ob- struction more easily than two wheel driver can do. For this req son the four-wheel drive truck is pe- culiarly well adapted to service over bad roads, where heavy loads must be carried.

FORD's BROTHER A FARMER

In a Detroit police court appeared John Ford, farmer, charging a man with stealing some sweet corn from the complainant's market truck. It developed that the farmer is 9 brother ofgHenry Ford.
 Probably few men, even in Detroit, have known that Henry Ford has a brother. While the motor king has become one of the most famous men in, the world, with the money power of a Midas, Brother John has con- tinued the simple life on the old farm near Dearborn, where both dwelt be- fore Henry went to town to become an engineer. Such is the divergence of character, gifts and sentiments that may appear ina single family.

It is important to keep the spark gaps of the plugs of the truck engine properly distanced. If the gap is too wide the spark may not jump at the spark plug gap, particularly at low speeds. This win subject the insula- tion of the secondary winding and cir cult to unnecessarily great stresses and may cause a relief spark to oc- cur at the safety gap, which is an in dication of danger. Insulation, if sub jected to such stresses continually, will break down. On the other hand, if the spark gap is too narrow the spark will probably not be hot enough to afford good ignition and shorting by carbon will result. Watch the supark gaps.

IRON OUT FENDER DENTS

The greatest care must be taken in strengthening out dents in the lenders, if the parts are not to assume a battered ap- pearance. The only satisfactory method Is to remove the fender and get 1t on the bench. Be heath 1t should be placed a block of wood cut to fit .snugly the curve of the fender. Then the dents can be pounded out with comparatively little injury to the finish and general appearance of the parts. Incidentally 1t is . good plan to use a leather mal- let for this work or to cover the head of an ordinary hammer with e number of thicknesses of cloth.

DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF skloDlNo
By M. D. sBIXBY Los Ap6eles Branch Mana6er BE Goodrich Rubber Co

DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF Skt0
 Skidding or locking the brakes and sliding the wheels results in serious and uncalled for dam- age to the tires. It also has a ruinous effect on the mechanism of the motor car. It subjects the tires to an unusual strain fin addition to the work which they must perform in supporting and propeiling the car and its load.
 The accompanying Illustration clearly shows how the tread may literally be torn from the carcass of a tire as result of this practice Automobile owners should be brought to realize that their cars will stop quicker if brakes are applied gradually and firmly rather than sharply. Improperly adjusted brakes some times will cause the wheels to lock. thus grind ing or tearing of a section of the tire
 To make certain that both brakes take hold evenly the rear axle should be lacked up so that neither wheel rests on the ground; then Itart the engine and engage the clutch. When the foot brake is applied, if one rear wheel revolves while the other remains stationary, or, if one wheel turns faster than the other, excessive wear to the tread rubber of the wheel turning slowest may be expected. This will continue unless the brake drums are evenly adjusted.
 As soon a car starts to skid it should be steered. if possible. in the direction of the skid. Cars carefully driven ordinarily will not skid except under abnormal conditions. The rapid turning of corners increases the strain and wear on tires with the same ultimate effect as skidding and slidings Skidding greatly shortens the life of tire and the car owner who carefully avoids this practice secures ulti- mate mileage on his investment.

THERE ARE MANY PROSPECTS
 AMONG THE FARMERS

Statistics compiled by the Good year Tire and Rubber company, Ak ron, Ohio, show there are approxi- mately 6,000,000 farmers in America, and only 78,O00 motor trucks on the farms. On these figures, it is said, there are 2,500,000 truck prospects. Assuming that 100000 bought trucks within the year, it would be equiva- lent to the sale of 1000 trucks by ev- cry manufacturer in the country.

The Ford magneto can be used to charge a battery, provided rectifief is placed in the line. The current from the Ford magneto is alternating, anl only diroect current can be used in charging the battery, hence the need for the rectifier.
The Coconino sun., 1919-12-05

When the ammeter shows a rate of charge or discharge very much higher than usual it may be accepted as an indication that there is cross some where, so that the battery is not get ting the current intended for it.
