THE EXPERTS SAY.

The small cracks that frequently
make their appearance on the edge
Of the fender or other sheet metal
parts will rapidly become big breaks
unless they are nipped In the qua.
Drill a small hole in the metal ana
through the crack, near its outer end.
Slip a rivet through and run on
burr and then rivet the head firmly.
This prevents vibration Of the edges
of the crack, which Is the trouble
that induces the spreading OF the
crack. A brushful of paint will make
this repair invisible.
One Of the common troubles en-
countered in the brake assembly Is
a tendency to chattering. which is
extremely annoying. This 10 geRer-
ally induced by deposit OF the
burnt oil on the bands and it may

1oes not serve the only remedy is to
burn off the deposits with blow
torch. This operation is carried out
by removing the bands and soaking
them in gasoline oyer night and then
shaft brake is peculiarly liable to
this trouble. as, if the transmission
case contains a little too much oil.
the excess lubricant is thrown
through the shaft brushing onto the
bands. If an application of graphite
is used insted of oil for lubricating
the brake bands. it will lessen this
trouble.

Some grades are SO steep that if the
driver were to use the brakes alone
to retard the cars movement the lin
ing would be burned when the bottom
of the grade is reached The driver
should remember that shifting to a
lower gear always throws the engine
IN resistance. Hence on low gear
there Is the greatest resistance OBJ
tainable. If the ignition Is switched
off, then the rear wheels turn over
the engine and further resistance is
thrown in. Opening the throttle in
PRODUCES a little more. The brakes
should be used only if the resistances
mentioned are insufficient to prevent
the car from attaining a dangerous
speed.

Tanks Sometimes Baked.

1t may seem like childish advice to
say that q driver never should GROSS
stream without Investigating lis
depth and the condition Of the bed.
but nevertheless many experienced
motorists forget and find themselves
stuck. Even our war tanks could not
travel everywhere for our Army had
to send men ahead ("bellycrawlers. i"
they called them) in order to look
over the territory to see that the tank
could travel over it.
In addition to observing the simple
rules mentioned the motorist will do
well to make an investigation of the
road conditions in the section Of the
country in which he expects to drive.
The American Automobile Associa-
ton, the local automobile club, the
travel bureaus, ETC.. have information
on the sands in all sections and 1t
would be better to get a report from
one of them. The road books are help
full, of course, but they cannot be ex-
pected to indicate road conditions
months after they have been pub
lished.

Sandy Roads Battle.

Sandy roads battle the owner who is
accustomed to driving in sections
where none such exist. The light car
takes the sand easier than the heavy
car, but both may find difficulty IL the
sand is very loose. If the sandy stretch
Is quite long and looks dangerous the
tires may be wrapped with burlap and
II TINS is not at hand rope will do
Denatlng the tires is often all that is
necessary. Once a car is stuck in sand
1t is useless to try to get it out BY
spinning the rear wheels. Boards ii
they are obtainable are excellent in
allowing the rear wheels to grip. The
ooards should be placed at the rear
of the difficulty.
In approaching a sandy spot it is
best to speed up a little, holding the
steering wheel firmly SO as to be pre-
pared Tor an emergency. In sand the
steering wheels are a little hard to
control.

As to Muddy Roads.

Muddy roads are negotiated In the
same way as sandy ones, though usu-
ally tire chains will pull a car
lhrougn mud that is not too deep. The
mud road as usually found is not soft
Tor many inches down SO that IL the
cars sinks the chains will probably
take hold on the frmer ground UNI
asrneath the mud. The market now
affords number of devices which
may be attached to the rear wheels
to enable the car to travel over al
most any kind of a road In one in
stance the device allows the car to
sink just enough to clear the axles.
one OF the very many devices for the
tourist who expects to meet some bad
roads and get into difficulty, Is an ex-
tractor of some sort. This is the last
resort device which may be handled
by one man to pull the car out Of deep
mud or sand. Block and tackle is the
common device, but there are many
special ones on the market made for
the automobile tourist

THE DISTRICT COURT

'"S' week OF the November
term of the District Court Mt
Del Nortc. The Jury which
served the first two weeks of
the term was dismissed and
Tuesday morning n new Jury
was impanncled and the case
OF Thaddeus Elliott vs.. Thorn.
ton X. Jarmin went to trial
with Geo. NJ. Corle,t attorney
for Elliott and Jas. p. Vccr-
kamp and O. T.. Linderholm
counsel for Jarmin. In this
case Elliott. as plaintiff. brot
suit for damages in the sum of
about $4,000 for alleged loss
of some $500 worth Of wool
and about $4,000 in loss Of
sheep.
1t seems that in the spring Of
1916 Elliott and Jarmin en-.
tered into an agreement where
by Jarmin was to Craze a num-
Der of Elliott's sheep together
with his own on the range.
Jarmin also wintered these
sheep on the Sheridan ranch
near Monte Vista and in the
Spring Jarmin sheared the Ell
lott sheep and again took
them to the summer range. The
wool from the Elliott sheep
mysteriously disappeared from
the Sheridan ranch and Jar
min claimed the same was stol-
en- and that he had made every
effort to recover same. but had
been unable to do so.
There was conflict of evil
dence in regard to the compen-
sation which Jarmin was to re-
ceive for handling the Elliott
sheep. Jarmin claimed that
Elliott was to pay his proper
tiOnate amount of the expense
both for grazing and care of
sheep. whatever it might be.
Elliott claimed there was no
such agreement. but that ne
was to pay 80 cents per head
for grazing and from S1.OO 20
Sl.25 per head for wintering.
In the fall of 1917 Elliott
came to Monte Vista to receive
his sheep from Jarmin and
claimed that he was short, he
having given to Jarmin's care
1877 head and receiving back
only about lis, exclusive Of
lambs.
Elliott and Jarmin, it seems.
could not agree on a settlement
and the matter was brought to
court.
The jury brought in a YER
dict for plaintiff in the sum of
$500.
Friday morning Arthur L.
Wright, who had been found
guilty of involuntary man.
slaughter, appeared in court
and was sentenced to an inter
term in the reform
school at Buena Vista.
The case of A. C. Brizen-
dine VS.. the County Commits
sioners of Rio Grande County
was being tried this Friday.
Brizendine brought suit for
two months salary as under
sheriff. AS we understand the
case the commissioners claim
that this salary should have
been paid by Sheriff Harper
and not by the county.

BOSTON. Aug. 27.-A law 20 make

before the conference Of commits

by Moortield Storey, OF this city,
former president of the American Bar
Association. The gathering from
ma states OF lawyers appointed by
legislative or executive authority as
commissioners to assist in framing
uniform legislation applauded Mr..

reason which prevents Guarrels and

where a great body Of men undertake
q paralyze the community service in
order that they mav gel something

The commissioners. who hold their

to the meetings of the Bar Associa-

country is in danger always OF dis

you consider that the great public ser
