After the truck has been in service
for some time the surfaces of the ped
ais will become smooth SO that the
driver does not get a satisfactory foot
hold on them and his foot is likely TO
slip off at an inopportune moment.
To eliminate this danger remove the
pedals and roughen their surfaces with
punch marks. To do this clamp the
pedal in a wise and make diagonal
chalk marks on the surface Make
punch marks wherever two chalk marks
cross. This will roughen the pedals
very effectively.

Stills In Homes Must
Be Registered With
Revenue Department

"A man may have a whisky still
in-his home as long as he doesn't
use it, but the law requires that he
register it with the internal revenue
department" declared United States
Commissioner Mclaughlin, as he
bound Andrew Ernst, 42ll North
Twenty-fourth street, over to the
federal grand jury yesterday.
Internal revenue officers discov-
cred still in the Ernst home Thurs
day. They also found a small
quantity of alcohol, which they in
troduced against Ernst, as evidence
of his alleged use of the still.
Ernst said he bought the still in
Denver two years ago for SIS. He
admitted that he had tried to use
it, but said it had never been a sue
cess. The officers found it in the
basement of his home, they said, but
it was not "set up for action at the
time.
Ernst declared that the alcohol
the officers found was not made in
the still, as they charged, but had
been purchased to celebrate the
Fourth of July.
Ernst's bond was fixed at $500.
