READ THIS, ALL DOG LOVERS

Sir Frederick Banbury concluded a
recent speech in the British house of
commons on the dogs protection bill
with recital of Lord Byron's famous
tribute to his dog, and the debate
which followed furnished at least one
further illustration of how faithful are
the lines to universal experience. A
letter read out by Colonel Burn from
a workingman in his constituency told
how the writer was once rescued by

the driver. Conversely, the drivers
should be given every opportunity to
report any complaints regarding lubri-
cation of the other parts which may
be necessary to insure diligence on the
part of the Inspector.
In q small fleet the chief mechanic
himself may best be intrusted with
this work, otherwise special man
may be detailed. The nature of the
work would preclude any elaborate re-
port, so that manila card with the
names of the different oiling points
on all the chassis may be prepared
with spaces for check marks by the
inspector. A simple code, such as G
for change, o for lack of oil, D for
dirt and r for repair, may be adopted,
a simple check serving to show that
the part was found in good condition.
Naturally, when man goes over a
chassis SO minutely as to examine each
fabrication point he covers all of the
vital portions which are liable to be-
come out of order so that this inspec-
ton is also invaluable in detecting
slight arrangements which are easily
repaired in the incipient stage, but
which might go unsupported in ordi-
nary running until they become so seri-
Gus as to necessitate major repair.

When the Stake Is
High
r.
BY A. W. PEACH
BY A. W. PEACH

Marion Bishop, listening in the quiet
of the hail, knew at last the reason for
the sudden change in her father. She
heard with slowing heart the grave
voice Of the lawyer saying, "Colwell
has the papers which are the evidence
against you; and while we who know
you feel that your action was never
criminal to any degree, in the eyes of
the law and the gang who are deter
mined to drive you from business. you
are guilty. / must tell you frankly.
You must prepare for the worst. Col
well takes office this week, and natu-
rally he will want to start with case
he can win"
Marion heard her fathers low groan
Of pain, and she hurried down the hall
to her room. There she stood, in ST.
lence and thought. She had watched
her father gradually seem to grow old
mat month. He was haggard and worn,
Ind his will was gradually breaking
Under the burden of what he was fac
ing.
What could she do? That was the
question. She had often seen Colwell,
the young attorney who had been
elected states attorney. His strong,
serene face had appealed to her, and
she knew that If his mind was made
up to imprison her father no plea of
hers could count.
"But l must do something some
thing Fathers lawyers evidently think
there is nothing to be DONE" she
thought to herself. II will see Colwell
Ind tell him just how it is"
Her decision reached, she set about
carrying it out; but all the way to the
heart of the city she was wondering
what she could say-and what he
would say. There was. nothing for her
to say other than that she had faith
In her fathers honor and honesty. She
1ealized how foolish that statement

INITIATE TIRES ON HOT DAYS
Terrific Driving Necessary to Generate
Enough Heat to Raise Air Pres
sure in Tire.

Motorists should again be warned
against the notion that the heat of a
summer day expands the air inside
tire to such an extent that the tires do
not need to be blown up to the same
point as in winter. Experiments show
that it takes terrific driving at racing
speed for considerable period to gen.
crate enough heat to raise the air pres
sure in tire five or six pounds. The
expansion in car driven at an or
binary rate on hot summer day is so
slight that no allowance should be
made for it when the tire is pumped
up.
Motorists would do we'll in hot
weather to test the air pressure in
their tires every few days to see that
the leakage of air has not reduced the
pressure to the point where the tire
will suffer harm.

She went into the outer Office, and,

Battle of Lundy's Lane.

On July %. 1914, the battle of
Lundy's Lane, near Niagara Falls,
took place. The engagement was
fought on the Canadian side. Gen.
Jacob Brown. in command of 5000
Americans. opposed Gen. Sir George
Drummond, commanding the British
forces of $500 men. Victory was
claimed by both sides, although the
British took possession of the battle
field. The British losses, however,
were greater than those of the Amer
leans. The British lost S75 in killed,
wounded and missing. the Americans
$50. These losses made this battle,
which was otherwise of slight impor-
lance, one of the bloodiest of the war
of 1912.

"You are very capable, Miss Lane,
and if you will tell me more about
about yourself / would like to make

eyes upon her.
She shook her head, frightened.
Really, there is nothing to tell"
His words disturbed her. If she was
to be his stenographer she would not
have the opportunity to secure the
damaging paper; as his secretary she
would. But evidently before giving
her the position of trust he wished to
know more about her.
To her surprise the next morning

would get those papers.

She fought bravely, but when she
found on her desk bunch of roses the
next morning she all but wept into
them. 1t was just his customary
thoughtfulness. yet it meant more than
that to her.
Then came the crisis The next
afternoon she saw him take some pa
pers from a case, and from her desk
she read the inscription upon them.
1t was the evidence against her fa-
Their. She saw Colwell glance through
them, then place them in a file. He
picked up another folio and went out.
She looked at the file with fascinat-
ed eyes. Then with low cry, stirred
by some inner despair, she rushed
over, drew the slip of papers from the
file and clasped it to her with whis-
per, "Now l have theml"
She turned to her desk and paused.
In the door stood Colwell, his grave
eyes upon her, and in them something
that drove her wavering senses into
confusion. His eyes were not stern
although they told her that he knew
something was wrong-but gentle and
plying.
She let the papers fall from her
numb fingers and swayed as she stood.
''Miss Bishop" he began.
He knew her name. 1t was the last
shock. She wavered in faintness, and,
struggling against it, she started for
her desk, to find the whirling office
grow steady as strong arms held her
tightly. His eyes, looking down into
her frightened ones, held the old but
beautiful light and her fear grew into
wonder and then into a rush of hope
and happiness.

LUBRICATION IS
VERY IMPORTANT
Hard to Induce Mechanics and
Drivers to Keep Chassis Oiled
as Per Schedule.
MAKE REGULAR INSPECTION
Several Hours May Be Required to
Give Neglected Truck Proper At
tention and Cover All of Most
Vital Portions.

A good way to add years to the serv-
ice life of a motortruck and to re-
duce expensive layups is to make sure
that it never lacks lubrication. There
are between fifty and hundred points
on a motortruck which require indi-
vidual fabrication attention. Unfortu-
nately it is not possible to arrange
the chassis so that all of these are
to be fabricated at the same time
since the parts represented by this
array nearly all work at different
speeds and under wide variations of
load. Every manufacturer conscien-
tiously supplies purchasers with charts
showing just where, with what and
when to attend to each fabrication
job. Yet it seems impossible for most
organizations to get their mechanics
and drivers to keep the chassis oiled
as per schedule.
Days for Inspection.
The only way this can be done with
certainty is to set aside certain days
for the inspection of each vehicle by
mechanic whose sole duty is to seek
out the thirsty members and apply
the lubricant most to it's taste. Armed
with fabrication diagram, perhaps,
though this would only be necessary
at the start, large squirt can of
oil, another of kerosene to clean out
dirty bushings and to free those
which may be gummed or stuck,
bucket and gun of ''dope" or trans
mission lubricant and pail or can
of cup grease, on the appointed night
he will go entirely over the truck.
He should pick out a certain place
to start-the starting crank is logi-
cal place-and proceed about the
truck, cleaning away the caked mud
keenly. Parts which are found to be
in need of lubricant should have the
needed material applied at once and a
note made of the need. In his inspec-
tfon he will test the quality of oil in
the engine base, gearbox, differential,
etc, as well as merely the quantity
present, since it is necessary to clean
out old oil periodically. When a
change of oil is needed he will flush
out the case with kerosene and fill it
to the proper level with new, clean
oil.
1t may take several hours to give
the proper attention to one badly neg
lected truck, but if once done properly
and conscientiously followed up by
periodical subsequent inspections, an
energetic mechanic should be able to
act as godfather to three or four vehl-
cles a night. Naturally if the fleet is
small, this will not be necessary. Once
in two weeks is often enough for each
vehicle, the driver being held strictly
responsible for all daily fabrication
points, such as the fan grease cup, the
clutch oiler or grease cup, the spring
bolts, steering joints, steering knuckles
and radius rods.
Check on Driver.
The report of the fabrication in
spector serves as a check on the
driver and should serve as an exec
lent index to the conscientiousness of
