To Secure Permanent Repair Wedge of Steel Is Driven in Between End of Rod and Axle-Housing-kept

In many of the older automobiles the radius rods are used to take the drive. These rods usually have a ball. and-socket joint at the forward end with adjustment, and the rear ends are connected to the rear axle-housing with pin or bolt. Since this joint is very difficult to protect with a leather boot and grease, it soon becomes worn and is the source of a great deal of noise.

 It was in the marines great fight at Belleau Wood that First Sergt. Thomas John McNulty won his fame and subsequent citation. He led his company of men in daring charge across field of poppies against Bel leau Wood, whence German machine guns poured death into their midst. His grim shouts of encouragement cheered them on to victory until his voice was si1enced by lead and he fell seriously wounded amid the blossoms.

 Extraordinary Heroisn.
 First Sergt. John McNulty was awarded his cross for extraordinary Mont and Saint Etienne. Under a heavy artillery and machine-gun fire that rolled forward with a German counter-attack he stuck by his machine gun. Every man of his gun crew was shot down beside him, but he stuck. Shot after shot burrowed its way into his vitals, but still he stuck to his ma- chine gun with tenacity that could only be broken with death and re- gard that he did not have for his life. It was at moment when 1t seemed that his iron power of will was soon to have no living body to direct that the German attack was beaten off, and First Sergeant McNulty laid his head on the ground exhausted. Even then he stuck by his gun, and it was only when ordered to the rear by his com manding officer that he finally retired. "He was an inspiring example to his men," according to memoranda in con- nection with his being awarded the distinguished service cross

Washington.-What's in the name McNulty?
 The encyclopedia is silent concern ing it's origin, but two marines of that name, who probably did not even know one another, had lives that were near ly parallel to one another, and both distinguished themselves as heroes on the battlefelds of France Which is indicative that the same fighting blood courses in the veins of these McNu1tyS from an ancestry that was doubtless1y Irish, - '.
 Their names were nearly alike Thomas John McNulty and John Mo Nu1ty. They were both in the be- ginning of their forties-they were both in the marine corps-they were both first sergeants-and both had seen 19s years of service under the Stars and Stripes. Moreover, both and both were seriously wounded. And the climactic result of this strange parallel was that both distinguished themselves as heroes almost at the same time. John was awarded the distinguished service cross and Thom- as was cited for distinguished service.

Caution Regarding Piston Rings.

CautSOn He0ar0ln0 FiSton H1n9S.
 Not only should the piston rings be we'll fitted, but it has been found that specially formed scraper rings, which return excess oil from cylinder walls to the crank case through holes drilled in the pistons. are of value. In engines fitted with certain forms of lubricating systems, it is possible to over-ofl the cylinders very greatly if the oil supply is carried too high, and this should be carefully avoided.
 Modern engines are carefully safe guarded against loss of oil by leakage from the crank case throw-on rings, catch-pockets and return passages be- Ing provided at the shaft ends, but there is still possibility of waste, if there is any defect in any gasket used in the Joints of the crank-case sec tions. Old engines frequently leak badly and all possible measures should be taken to prevent 1t.
 Waste of Lubricant.
 There is an immense waste of lubri- cant occasioned by filling transmission and rear axle housings too full, as the oil works out along the shafts, despite such devices as felt washers. This evil has largely been forestal1ed in modern cars by locating the mouth of the filling opening at the required oil level so that the housing cannot, by any possibility, be filled above the proper point. , 5s
 Old cars are provided with no such automatic oil level device and the best the owner can do is to find out, from the instruction book of experience, what height of lubricant is ample for safe fabrication and never greatly to exceed this. Of course "a great waste of oil and grease may be occasioned by the use of too thin lubricants, espe- cially in hot weather.

HOW SARDINES ARE PACKED
Comparatively Simple Process, but the
Work Requires Expert Supervision
and Must Be Carefully Done.

The process of preparing sardines Is
very simple but requires experience
and great care. Upon the arrival OF
the sardines at the factory they are
Immediately placed on large wooden
tables about forty feet long, where
they are cleaned. This process takes
only second, and a fairly efficient
worker can clean from 300 to 400
pounds of fish per day, according to
q writer in Fishing Gazette.
The fish are then placed in vats of
brine, where they are allowed to re-
main from one-half to two hours, ac-
cording to size. They are then placed
in wire trays equipped with prongs in
upright position, where they are al
lowed to dry for about an hour before
they are ready for cooking. This is
done by placing the trays in large steam
ovens. where the fish are subjected to
a pressure of about two pounds of
steam, twenty minutes being consumed
In properly cooking the small fish and
as much as thirty-five minutes in cook
ing the larger sizes.
This cooking has to be carefully
watched; if the sardines are subjected
to too much steam they become some
what brittle and break when being
packed. Some sardines are cooked in
oil however, an extra charge is mad.
for this process, and comparatively
few are sold.
After the sardines have been prop
erly steamed the trays are placed on
long counters for sorting, which is
done by carefully selected and we'll
paid girls. After sorting, the tins are
filled with oil and placed on shelves,
where they are allowed to remain for
about twelve hours in order to insure
the proper impregnation of the oil.
Pure olive oil is used in preparing
most sardines, especially the best
grades, but for some markets a mix
ture Of olive oil and high-grade pea
nut oil Is desired.
