Times Can you tell me why my
car swings 20 the right whenever I
apply the brake2 also notice that
the right tire wears out sooner than
the left G. 3.
The trouble is caused by unequal
brake adjustment. the brake op-
Grating on the right wheel holds
better than the brake operating on
the left wheel Both wheels should
be raised on jacks and the brake
acting rods. etc. adjusted so that
when the brake is applied the ten
sion on each viii be equal This
will avoid skidding. and also relieve
the strain on the right tire.

garding Marshal Foch's reception of
the German white flag party. Ac-

armistice,' the spokesman of the Ger
man party protested.

Setary of the interior Lane points out
chat there are 100000 men of draft
age in che United States who cannot
read or write On English op in any
other language. There are 100000
persons over ten years OF age who can
not read or write in any language. The
regular army never enlisted illiterates,
but the draft ace brought into the
army approximately $4,000 illiterates
and as many more who were almost
illiterate. These soldiers could not
sign their names. They could not read
the manual of arms. They could not
read their letters or write home. They
could not read their daily orders post
cd on bulletin boards in camp. They
could not understand signals in time
of battle. The economic loss through
illiteracy is estimated at $825, ,OOO, 600
. year. on the conservative assumption
that the productive labor value Of an
ilIiterate is less by only so cents a day
than thas OF an educated person. Ten

The kingdom Of Boleslaus the Great

In 1772, when came the first dismem-
berment, Poland covered 100000 square
miles, almost 100000 miles more than
the German empire of today. Its pop

They remain today one nation in Ian

and through all these years the love
of liberty has burned within them as
an inextinguishable flame.
