NEED NOT FIT NEW RINGS
Comparatively Easy Matter of Over
coming Spark Plug Foullng From
OIL Which Leaks Through.

When an engine starts to pump oil
and the spark plugs become fouled. 1t
is not always the best and cheapest
plan to fit new rings. A good method
to overcome spark plug fouling from
the oil which leaks through and one
that does not require the fitting of new
rings is given herewith.
The piston Is taken out and centered
up In the chuck of lathe and a
groove is cut In the skirt of the pis-
ton. Then eight or ten holes are
drilled at equal spaces around the pc
riphery Of the piston. These holes are
dIilled at the top of the groove and at
an angle SO they point upward and In
ward. This groove will serve as a
wiper Of the excessive oil and the
holes will drain the groove and, be-
cause Of their direction. win tend to
lubricate the wrist-pin and the rod.

The man who never gets out of
sight of the tall buildings, us well as
the man who has yet to see city sky
scraper, should be booster for better
roads. Highways are used In trans
porting practically every article of
food at some stage in It's journey to
the consumers table. Bad roads add
to the cost of transportation, but good
roads cut marketing cost.
From the time when farm products
were first hauled in wagons to markets
there has been an interest In better
roads as means of reducing the cost
of transportation, but improved high
ways mean more now because of the
extensive use of motortrucks in haul
ing products from the farm to the
railroad station or direct to the city
markets. Trucks are not only replac-
ing horse transportation but In many
cases they are supplemcnting and even
doing the work of railroads. In fact,
motor trucks offer solution of mod
ern transportation problems, but roads
built only-fo horse-drawn vehicles or
light automobiles will break down un-
der heavy motor traffic.
Maintenance of thousands of miles
of roads so that the enormous govern
ment and commercial truck traffic of
the past two years could move has
taxed the abilities and called forth
every energy and plan on the part Of
highway officials. In many states Off
cials found themselves without suffi-
Client funds to handle properly the re-
pair and rebuilding work necessary.
Nearly all of them had to struggle un-
der the handicap of an insufficient la
Dor supply, and all had to meet the
increased cost of labor and material.
War Lessons Aid In Peace.
Only few states were unaffected
by the restrictions on the supply and
transportation of materials which had
to be brought from distance. None
escaped the difficulties which followed
the great and rapid increase in traffic
at this country's entrance into the
war. From New England to the Pa
cific coast new demands were made
upon the highways, and unusual con-
dltions developed everywhere In main
tenance and construction. In several
states high type roads. which had orig
inally been constructed without suffi-
cient foundation to meet the new de-
mands, had to be rebuilt, and part of
this construction work was carried on

The last and loveliest of summer
millinery makes its appearance for
wear in July and August. to be sue
ceeded by less fanciful and less airy
headwear for late summer and early
fall. There is not the prodigal use of
trimmings on hats for late summer
that appears in hats for spring aud
early summer. Things must look SIM
pie and cool for hot days, and besides
the pendulum of fashion swings con-
stantly first toward trimmings and
then away from them, In order to be
forever changing the styles, inasmuch
as changing styles are the breath of
life to merchandising.

OIL AND TIRES

Oil and gasoline are deadly
enemies to automobile tires. If
you don't believe 1t, take rub
Der band and immerse 1t In gas
oline. Watch 1t swell-grow
before your eyes. Then, after
allowing it to soak for short
time, just stretch that rubber

Gasoline has similar effect
on automobile tires. "Gas" eats
weak spot into the tread or
sidewall and starts deteriora-
tion. Oil and grease have the
same effect
Great care should be exer-
cIsed In the use of oil around a
garage. Oil or gasoline should
not be allowed on the floors.
Spare tires should always be
protected by cover.

FAIRY TALE f.
MRS. INDIAN ELEPHANT
6y hary Graham bonner me!

Mrs. Indian Elephant performed
many fine tricks. She was great
favorite in the zoo and the children
used to come and see her. Then she
would do her fine tricks and the chill
dren would give her peanuts. They
would give her as many as the keeper
said she could have
They didn't give any that the keeper
said not to, for he knew If the eIe-
plants had had visitors earlier in the
day who had been feeding them. And
he knew how much elephants should
eat and what they shouldn't eat.
As the children didn't want to make
the elephants sick they used to ask
the keeper II they could have anything
to eat that day.
Mrs. Indian Elephant had once been
in circus and the other zoo elephants
had not.
She used to tell the other elephants
the story of her circus days, how she
would go from town to town and how
she would lead great parades. She
would describe the beautiful lady who
rode on her back In the parade for
the town and the parade for the cir
Gus.
She would tell how she used to lie
down and wave flags and how she
could pick up the circus man and
carry him about. She used to tell the
other 200 animals how the people
clapped, how the boys and girls would
scream with delight.
hn h.I ul.t
dren, more than even came to the ZOO.
'And 1t was funny" she used to say,
but I would think to myself, Now In
this town we're coming to surely there
will be no children
But there always were children, in
every single town. Yes. friends" Mrs.
Elephant would say, ~ have never
been in a town where there are no
children. ! imagine a town must be
very, very rare that has no children.
and ] don't believe there is such n
place.
''It wouldn't be place worth visit
ing, l know that much. Why, no one
would want to perform In a circus If
children weren't there. for children
know enough to appreciate circus,
and while grown-ups may, too-well,
they don't like to laugh right out loud
just as hard as children do"
But one day Mrs. Indian Elephant
felt quite sad. She had been thinking
of something else and though later on
she cheered up and forgot about 1t 1
must tell you what she said.
''It does seem pity" she said sadly.
what seems a pityf" the others
asked her. '"Tell us. Mrs Indian Ele-
phant. what seems a plty?'
"It seems pity" said Mrs. Indian
Elephant, that we aren't appreciated.
"That is, we aren't as interesting as
