THE SALVATION ARMY
FOR CHILD Welfare

The Salvation Army spends 5000,
900 year for the care OF women
and children, according to safe
ment just issued by its headquarters.
This is devoted to the upkeep OF
twenty-five reecue homes and ma
ternity hospitals. one general hospi-
tai. children's hospital, three chill
dren's homes and eleven slum settle
ments and nurseries.
"The Salvation Army In its recon
atruction program, realizes that the
question OF child welfare occupies
a very prominent place" Lieut., Col
George Wood who is in charge OF
Salvation Army activities In the
Southwest, said recently. The fund
raised in the Home Service cam
paigns now being put on throughout
this territory will make possible the
extension Of this work in Texas. Ok
lahoma. and Louisiana"
Wherever a Salvation Army corps
is established. special provision will
be made for the welfare OF the chill
uCW uuii0AA6S
will be thoroughly equipped for their
heal.hful development along every
line.
Gymnasiums will provide for their
physical development Game rooms
will provide amusement and there
will be class rooms and manual
training rooms where they can take
special studies and courses OF train
ing. For the younger children and
the babies. nurseries will be provid
ed. All of the child welfare work
will be carried on under expert d..
rection.
In addition to this phase OF the
work, the institutions In this terri
tory for children will be enlarged and
others will be established. At pres
ent the Salvation Army maintains q
home for children in FL Paso which
accommodates ninety children in
quarters that are large enough for
only seventy-fve 1t also maintains
a home for children In San Antonio

)IL FOR THR0W-0UT COLLAR
There Are Several Self-Feedino Cupo
on Market Which May Be Used
for This Purpose.

In certain cars it is necessary to
:emove the floor boards in order to
ubricate the clutch throw-Out collar.
As consequence many car owners
Neglect this important item of lubri-
sation, until trouble in the units
makes the need evident. In cases Of
his kind where no provision has been
made for fabrication by having a
crease cup that extends up through
he floor boards it will be wise to in
stall an Oil line to feed this part. This
IAN easily be done by arranging
large oil cup to feed through small
opening into a metal pipe running to
the throw-Out collar. It is necessary
10 have a small opening, so that the
low Of Oil will not be too rapid, for
obvious reasons. There are several
self-feeding oil cups on the market,
which may be used to advantage in
his connection.

AUTO JACK WILL
DO MANY THINGS
Four of Them of Different Sizes
Will Save Car Owner Much
Time and Temper.
WILL JACK CAR OUT OF MUD
Device Is Indispensable During Spring
overhauling or When There Are
Bent Parts to Body or Frame
of Machine.

That little jack slowed away under
the seat of your car will do many help
full things, but three more Of them,
of different sizes, will save you much
time and temper.
For instance, when you get hope
lessly stuck in mud, sand, clay or even
snow your jack may be the means Of
getting your car out Of its predica-
ment and save you that six-mile walk
to the nearest village to get span Of
horses.
Every jack should be fitted with a
two-inch block of wood as broad and
long as will conveniently fit into the
car. If the jack is so equipped, 1t will
allow the car to be lacked up out Of
the mudhole, SO that the rear wheels
can have boards slipped beneath them
for traction. If necessary it Is not
bad idea even to use the car cushion
for traction; that is, If no planks are
at hand and you are hard-pushed for

in the A. A. A. driving championship.
When the last 5OO-miIe race was run
on the Indianapolis speedway, in 1915,
Captain Eddie set gruelling pace for
25 miles that would have run the field
off its feet had he been able to main
tain it. Disaster overlook him, how
ever, after he had gained a mile on
the field In ten laps, and wrecked
engine sent him to the pits.
In the Harvest day meet Of the
same year, Captain Rickenbacker and
the late Johnny Aitken raced neck and
neck to win the 10O-mile contest that
featured the days program. 1t looked
as though Aitken would lose, when a
wheel collapsed on Rickenbacker's
mount and he spun like a top before
sliding off the course, with Aitken
laundering by. The accident happened
with two laps to go, and was one of
the most spectacular In the history of
the brick track.
Had Many Close Calls.
In spite of his many close calls in
anu IFS zap
tain Rickenbacker has never lost the
smile for which he is famous. The ref
cree of a big race must contend with
the kicks and complaints of drivers,
team managers, and all the men who
operate the machinery of a big event.
With his ability to remain good ma
tured in the face of adversely, and
also because of his intimate knowl-
edge of the racing sport and its rules,
it is believed that he will prove the
most successful referee the Indianapo-
lis track has ever had, with all the
fans pulling for him to make good In
his capacity of chief arbiter.

II a pound in the engine Is regular

al missing, especially il the missing Is
more frequent when the car Is running

MOST CONVENIENT TIRE TOOL
Little Wedge of Wood Can Be Slipped
In Between Beads and Pulled
Around Surface.

One of the most convenient little
weapons for use in tire repairing Is q
little wedge of wood, three-quarters of
an inch thick and three to five inches
long, depending ON the size Of tires
used. This wedge is slipped in be-
tween the beads and can be pulled
around the entire circumference OF
the tire with one hand, while the 9TH
er is free to hold the tire. This Is
much easier than trying to use both
hands to force the casing open, while
holding 1t on the shoulder.

ent for Owners Of cars-Frayed
Edges Avoided.

Everyone who owns car has had
difficulty with cutting gaskets. Try
this method the next time: Put the
Observation-Disclosures, felt, paper, etc
over the hole for which it Is being cut.
Take ball-head hammer and place it
on the material over the hole. Then
tap this first hammer gently with an.
other hammer, and the gasket can be
cut without the frayed edges that are

CLEAN PARTS With KEROSENE
Best Way Is to Use Wire Basket and
Dip Different Parts In Oil, Let
TING Dirt Sink.

It is often necessary to clean small
parts of the car. and washing in kero-
sene is the accepted method. The
usual practice is to throw such parts
In pail of kerosene and let them lie
In the muck which collects at the bot
tom. A better way is to get a wire
basket, which will fit part way down
in the vessel used to hold the kero-
sene, place the parts in this basket,
6sp them in the oil and allow the dirt
to be loosened and sink to the bottom.
while the parts come out perfectly
clean and ready for use.

The jack is indispensable during the

example, bent body parts may be

SPARK PLUG TROUBLES

Two frequent causes Of spark
plug trouble are oil or particles
of carbon collecting between the
points and sooting Of the porce-
lain. The first mentioned Is
remedied by carefully removing
the oil or carbon and thus clear
ing the gap. If the carbon on
the porcelain is hard, do not at
tempt to scrape it off. Soak the
porcelain in kerosene or liquid
carbon remover until the carbon
Is soft enough to wipe off clean
ly with a cloth.
Points out Of adjustment or
burned away will also cause
missing. The points should be
adjusted to a gap Of from one
thirty-second to one-sixty-fourth
Of an inch, depending upon the
ignition system, carburetor adj
justment and design of motor.

When Car Has Suffered Bump or

Whenever the car has suffered

curb or anything Of the sort, the
wheels should Immediately be tested
for alignment, as bang Of this kind
is quite enough to force them out Of

excessive wear.
