MAKE BUSINESS CALL BRIEF
Well to Remember That Executives, as
a Rule, Have Little Time
to Waste.

Mouth-talk or brain-talk which
kind do you chiefly use during busi'
ness call or conference? II can't see
half as many men as could see or as
| should like to see during the day
because my callers, once they get IN
to see me, waste my time with incon-
sequential talk" said busy execu-
tive recently. Consequently, my sec
rotary is under instruction to admit
only such persons as she thinks | must
see."
If you make a business call know
beforehand what you are going 70
present and how. Don't waste time
in nonessentials and trivialities. FIX
the objective Of your talk before you
call. 1t may be yes-or-no decision
1t may be promise merely to CONSIDER
your proposition it may be the tlNlhs
of a specific date when you can go INTO
the matter In detail. Whatever your
objective is, work toward 1t as rap
idly as you can; and when you nave
reached 1t pick up your hat ana 81.
"Good-by" This is one of the sureS'
ways of making favorable imireS,

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 a special man
may be detailed. The nature of the
work would preclude any elaborate re-
port, so that a 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 infinitely 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.

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 1t 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
win suffer harm.

BROUGHT BACK PYGMY HIPPO
Hunter Spent Weary Months in Jun.
giles to Prove That the Species
Really Existed.

1t seems incredible, but there exist
hippopotami that do not exceed 80,
inches in height. For a long while no
body believed that there were any
pygmy hippos in Liberia. The natives
Insisted that the Hippopotamus Lib
eriensis lived deep in the forests; but
that was another reason why explorers
and hunters shook their heads in In
credulity. The hippopotamus lives
along the rivers, they said, and this
talk about pygmies of this species In
the forests is nonsense.
Nevertheless pygmy hippo was
caught as far back as 1873, and
brought from Africa to the geological
gardens In Dublin. 1t might have con-
WINGED the world. only 1t arrived in
dying condition, and persisted before
1t could be exhibited. After that, peo-
pie took to doubling 1t again. and
considered the one recorded specimen
as freak. But Carl Hagenback, the
famous animal man, made up his mind,
at last, that the pygmy hippo could
be, and should be, introduced to man.
He sent an intrepid hunter, Schom-
burgk, after 1t, and Schomburgk, after
Spending a year and a half In the jun
gle, reappeared with three pygmy
beasts, two of which were at once
brought to the New York zoo and
placed on exhibition.-New York Her

SHOPMEN REJECT
EXECUTIVES PLAN
PROPOSAL or PRESIDENT CAST
ASIDE AND STRIKE VOTE
ORDERED TAKEN.
Secret BalIotIng to Start at Once, tFe
Officials to Abide by Decision,
Having Declined to Assume
Responsibility.

Whshlngton.-Th win be no iEn-
mediate strike OF railroad shopmen as
result OF the administration sn-
nounced policy to grant no general
wage Increase while cndeavoring to
drive down the abnormal cost OF llv-
Ing.
This was determined on August 26t
when the executive committee of the
railway employees department Of the
American Federation Of Labor asked
the 100000 railroad shopmen OF the
country to decide for themselves whe-
Their they should strike for the In
crease turned down by the president
general truce over wage disputes
until normal living conditions can be
restored.
The committee OF 100, representing
the trades affected by the govern
menfs decision, voted to reject the
proposal made by the president and
Director General Hines for an equal
lzation OF wages, but informed the gov
eminent that they would not assume
full responsibility for q strike under
the circumstances, and had therefore
referred the issue to the affiliated
unions.
The organizations are TO take a
strike vote by secret ballot as soon as
possible, and upon the decision of the
majority the executive committee and
committee of 100 viii abide.
The issue thus presented to the rail-
road shopmen Isl
TO accept In lieu Of 20 per cent
Increase In wages which they demand
ed an equalization Of pay on the basis
OF eight hours OF work for ten hours
pay, which amounts to an increase Of
cents an hour, and thus to yield to
the presidents request for cooperation
IN general truce over wages while
the government Is waging its fight
against the high cost Of living, or to
strike to enforce acceptance of the
demand for So cents an hour.

Try to drive as near the center OF
the road as you can.
The brake mechanism seldom gets
the fabrication it deserves.
Do not neglect to inspect valve clear
ance at least once month.
One thing every automobile Owner
should learn is how to stop a skid.
Mud and sand are the two road con.
ditions most dreaded by motorists.
Do not neglect the differential just
because you filed 1t with grease once
upon time.
Driving over rough roads at the
slowest possible speed is not always
the best plan.
Some motors require grease in the
timing gears. Others are fabricated
by means of oil from the crank case.

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
tentlon 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 1t never lacks fabrication. There
are between fifty and hundred points
on a motortruck which require indi-
vidual fabrication attention. Unfortu-
nately 1t 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 oil 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 1t seems impossible for most
organizations to get their mechanics
and drivers to keep the chassis oiled
as per schedule.

PLAN TO LOWER LIVING COST.
Government to Establish stores and

Sell al Cost.
Washlngton.-A radical project, of
vast proportions, to force down prices
of the necessities of life and hold them
In check pepdlng the restoration of
normal prices and production condi-
lions, is being considered by the adj
minlstratlon.
The proposal is that the govern
ment establish retail stores through
out the country, purchase food, cloth
Ing and other necessities in immense
quantities and resell them to eonsum-
ers Mt cost.
A step In this direction was taken
on August 20, when the war depart
ment announced that 1t would open
September 20 fourteen or more retail
stores for the sale directly to the peo-
pie OF surplus army clothing, blankets,
soap and other articles. Sales will
be made by the government at cost,
either over the counter or on cata-
l6gue orders, deliveries to be made
by parcel post to any part OF the coun-
try at counter prices. If II is deter
mined to undertake the larger project

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
a mechanic whose sole duty Is to seek
out the thirsty members and apply
the lubricant most to its taste. Armed
with a fabrication diagram, perhaps,
though this would only be necessary
at the start, large squirt can of
oil, another of kerosene to clean out
dirty bushlngs and to free those
which may be gummed or stuck, n
bucket and gun of "dope" or trans
mission lubricant and pail or can
Of cup grease, on the appointed night
he win go entirely over the truck.
He should pick out certain place
to start-the starting crank is a logi-
cal place--nnd proceed about the
truck, cleaning away the caked mud
and dirt and looking at each point
keenly. Parts which are found to be
in need Of lubricant should have the
needed material applied ut once and a
note made of the need. In his inspec-
ton he will test the quality of oil in
Il
the engine base, gearbox, differential,
etc, as well as merely the quantity
present. since tits necessary to clean
out old oil periodically. When a
change of oil Is needed he will flush
out the case with kerosene and fill 1t
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 t.
act us godfather to three or four vehi
cles a night. Naturally II the fleet l:
small, this will not be necessary. Onc'
in two weeks is often enough for eaci
