Replacing Terminals.

In replacing terminals in the
wiring system the easiest method is
simply to take a terminal from ar
old wire. leaving a couple of inches
of the wire in the terminal. After
both wire and terminal have been
thoroughly cleaned. the new and old
wires are spiiced together by twist.
ing the strands and the job is com
pleted by soldering and tapping the
joint.
Ironing Out Fender Dents.
The greatest care must be taker
in Strengthening out dents in the
Tenders. If the parts are not to as.
sumo a battered appearance. The
only satisfactory method is to re-
move the fender and get il on the
bench. Beneath it should he placed
block of wood cut to fit snugl,

dents can be pounde out with com.

and general appearance of the parts

a leather mallet for this work ol

hammer with a number of thick.
nesses of cloth.
Battery Rsx.
Car owners who use dry batteriet
often have occa sion to lament thu
brief existence of these devices. In
many cases the real reason why the
dry batteries fail SO rapidly is SIM
ply because they are not protected
from moisture. dirt and excessive
vibration. II is easy to make a
stout wooden box fitted with a cover
and permanent terminal connections
The sides. bottom. ends and cover
are made of hard wood three-eighthS
of an inch thick. The box may be
made to accommodate as many cells
a. desired, either in single or double
rows. The various parts of the box
are screwed together and the inside
is given an even coat of melted
parafip wax to render 1t moisture
proof. The cover should be made
to fit flush with the box sides.
Testing Bearings.
The motorist is sometimes puzzled
to know just what shape his bear
ings are in and does not know how
to test them. Connecting rod bear
ings should be tested by tapping
them very gently with a hammer
and watching for play. For the
crankshaft bearings. rock the shat,

FORD PLANTS
To DOT WORLD
Assembly Stations and Fac
tories Planned In
Foreign Countries.

Detroit, May 4-Ford will dot the
world with plants when peace is
signed. Immediate steps will be taken
for the building of assembly plants
and factories in many of the foreign
nations. In the larger countries there
will be factories and in the smaller
countries, such as Denmark, Spain
and Portugal. assembly plants with
an average capacity of 100 per day.
The assembly plants will be the first
constructed and will become the clear
them from the Detroit and Manches-
ter, England. factories.
Csdiz and Copenhagen have already
been decided upon as cities where
assembly plants will be erected, each
to cost approximately $3.50, 900, and by
this system the Ford interests expect
TO be able TO place on the European
market at least half a million cars
annually. 1t is but a question OF
weeks when the Paris and Bordeaux
offices of the company will be re-
opened.
Ford officials will not deny that the
present sites decided upon for tractor
plants are Troy N. Y, and Penns-
grove. n. J.. and that the Troy plant
will also manufacture the standard
Ford
At the Ford plant figures obtained
shows that from April es TO May 6. in
elusive q. 761 cars were manufactured,
being a daily average of 2.7eo. The
actual number OF untitled orders
April 20 was So.2S3, which was in
creased to SS.52S on May 3.
Ford officials are confident that, be-
ginning June /. the daily average out
put Of cars will he 1900. n figure they
are now striving for. and that the
number for the present year will ek-
coed 1,On.0o. To produce this enor-
nous output OF cars requires the serv-
ices of approximately 1900 men.

When you want to stop at a curb,
swing in gradually. not suddenly, so
as to give the car behind a chance
to swing out when you come to a
stop. II you are going to turn a
corner to the right. hug the curb
closely. Don't swing your car half
way across the street in making
the turn. Always slow up at cross
ings. and watch the signals and
signs. In some cities there are one
way streets for traffic. Learn them
and don't risk an accident by try
ing to drive the wrong way.
Always proceed little slower
than you think you ought to: then
your car will always be under per-
| feet control.
II Is good idea TO think out
problems of traffic ahead of time;
plan what you are going to do when
you get to that congested corner
and when you hav. made up your
mind what to do. DO 1T.

silver now s71.00o,000 yearly; why not
$3.50, 0Oo, O0O?" II is stated that the
league has several plans by which the
silver output viii be greatly increased
during the present year. These plans
have not been made public, but as
silver comes from the mine II Is nat
urally supposed that the plans OF the
league will result in more mines being
opened up. The silver exports from
the United States during the past year
approximated 5000, 100000. about $780,
600 900 greater than the exports or
copper for the same period, Our ex-
ports of the white metal for the past
year were greater than the worlds out
put of the metal for the same period
1t is no wonder that steps are being
taken to increase the production or
this metal.
II is fine to hear of the support that
is coming to the silver miner from
the east, and the Silver League OF
n
ing resolutions in New York City will
not buy powder or bacon for the miner
or prospector who is trying to produce
greater amounts of silver. However,
the west Is appreciative of the sup
port being offered, and the Record
suggests to the New York organlza-
ton that if it does nothing more than
silence the knockers on mining in the
east it will be assisting the western
man who is trying to produce greater
amounts of the white metal. Propa-
ganda Is being spread throughout the
east in an effort to iniure western
mining men. A few fakers-parasites
on the mining industry-are pictured
as representing the mining men of the
west and any man who tries to sell
prospect stock to provide develop
ment funds to carry on the work at
some prospect is pictured as robbef
tof widows and orphans. This is
great Injustice to the thousands of
mining promoters who are honestly
financing and developing prospects,
any one of which may be new

lea may have plans that will increase
the production of silver, and the west
wishes this organization every success,
