ments should be greater and the Diff
ference will vary with the make of
car. If the owner is in doubt he
should consult the service station for
the proper tilt.
Every car owner should check I'D the
alignment of the front wheels at least
least twice a year, and one of the
times should be now. If the wheels
suffer shock, even by striking
against the curb, it is advisable to
check up the alignment In case the
front tires begin to show signs of ex-
cessive wear. it may be assumed at
once that the wheels are out of align
ment. This condition may be corrected
by adjusting the tie rod which runs
from one steering knuckle to the other
and has a movable section at one end.
The average car owner is afraid Of
winter driving; he is afraid of the
slippery road surfaces he has to travel
over But If he will give his steering
system, including the wheels, a thor
ough going over and adjustment and
will use his tire chains when condi-
tions demand them, he need have little
fear. Further, he should remember
that it is never safe to travel over
slippery roads at the same speed that
may be used with impunity on dry,
safe surfaces.-Los Angeles Times.

CADILLAC IS FIRST
Popular Detroit Oar in British
Army Service Crosses Fam
GUS German River in Lead.

To the Cadillac undoubtedly goes the
honor of having been the first car Of
the allies to cross the Rhine after the
armistice was signed. This information
Is contained in a communication trans
mitted from the front through the
Cadillac company to the Sharman Au-
tomobile company, distributors for
Cadillac and Oakland cars.
The letter is from Lieutenant Colonel
George H. Johnson. deputy director of
timber operations in the Canadian for
estry corps with the British expedi-
tionary forces.
Il have reason to believe that this
was the first car Of any Of the allied
armies to CROSS the Rhine, having
reached Alt Briesac, via Colmar, on
November IS, seven days after the ar
mistice was signed. The Rhine was
crossed at Alt-Briesac after the rear
guard Of the retreating German army.
The whole adventure was always risky
and at timos delicate. The return was
made to Alsace. via Strassburg, Colmar
and Muolhausen on the Swiss border,
France being entered by way Of Bel
fort.
Il believe you will be interested in
the performance of this Cadillac. 1t

understand the necessity which
existed for their contraction dur.

with any surplus state and COM

TIRE HOLDER.

Many car owners fasten spare tires
on the car by means of narrow
straps If left in place for considerable
time tend to wear the tread off the
casing at the point where they grip
it. To avoid this cut a section of
leather four inches wide and six
inches long. Next cut two Sits in the
leather and pass the holding strap
through these. Thus the broad band

HELPFUL HINTS FOR
OWNER OR MECHANIC

| Difficulty is sometimes encountered
with leakage through the mohair top.
If the top is thoroughly rubbed with
boiled linseed oil it will be made prac-
| tically waterproof
When an emery wheel becomes coat
ed with grease it fails to give satisfac-
tory results. Emery that is to be clean
ed should be washed with dilute acid
after boiling it with solution of caus-
tic soda. Carbon bisulphide should be
used.-Popular Science.
Either wicking lead or graphite or
loose twisted asbestos rope packing
should be used for packing water pump
glands. When the asbestos is used it
should be soaked thoroughly In cylinder
oil and covered with fine flake graphite
1t should be coiled around the shaft in
the direction of turn of the gland nut,
and this latter should not be frightened
more than enough to prevent leakage of
water. The wrench should not be put
on this nut.
When an emergency arises and 1t is
necessary to prime the engine on the
road and no gasoline Is available a
valve cap tied on the end of piece OF
string and lowered into the gas tank
will bring up enough of the liquid to
prime one cylinder.
In cases where number of the
teeth of a gear have Clipped off at the
outer edges they should be chamfered
off by grinding. If in grinding the
gear is permitted to heat enough to
soften the metal little further chip
ping will be prevented, and the gear
can be used until a new one can be in
stalled.
The following method has been sub
mitted for the use of gasoline and other
light oils: Boil the parts in caustic
soda lye-1 Id. to a gallon of water
then brush while the articles are hot.
Caustic soda is recommended as better
than ordinary soda, since it causes the
fat or grease to dissolve more quickly

While Aoebergs often are of great

The streaks are pure ice. while the
white parts are largely solicited snow.

soRcERY cRlPs rHE ALASKAN
Natives Formerly Implicitly Delisved
In Words and Actions ss
the ehaman.


Shamanism. or superstition and sor-
Gerry. always has played an important
part in the life Of the Alaskan native.
says the Chicago Evening Post. So
implicitly did the Alaskan Of not many
years ago believe In the words and
actions of the shaman that whole
tribe would go hungry rather than In
cur his displeasure by eating foods he
had tabooed.
The Shaman attained his position
and mower by unusual methods. BY
fasting and prayer amid the s0litudes
of the woods or mountains where he
fed only on grasses and roots. he pre-
pared himself to become a shaman. By
this method it was, believed the can
didate's body became sufficiently puri-
fed to become the abiding place Of
spirits.
Usually the spirit, willing to abide
with the shaman. sent the novitiate
land otter. which the candidate
killed, the offers tongue to be pre-
served as talisman away from hui
man view. for should ii be seen 1t was
believed shaman would go insane or
be turned into the animal from which
the tongue was taken.<
Thus the land otter was regarded
as too sacred to be killed by other
than shamans.
