CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS
LETTER; WRITTEN IN 1861

Civil War days, was brought to this
office by Mr.. John Jones, of Mt. Olive
community:

the road is perfect and the scenery mag
nihccnt

There is considerable construction
work going on at the present time with
numerous detours on the william Penn
highway between New York and Gettys-
burg through Easton, Allentown, Reading
and Harrisburg. Good surface will DO
found from New York through Norris
town to Chester and fair over the
Schooley Mountains. The road through
the Musconetcong Valley from the foot
OF Schooley Mountains at Beattytown to
Easton, which has been poor most OF
the summer, with numerous stretches Of
pii holes, has been repaired and Is quite
passable.
Construction work Is going on all
along. especially Though towns and
cities from there on to Harrisburg, also
from Harrisburg to Gettysburg and from
Reading to Lancaster. The best way to
reach the Shenandoah Valley and the
Old National road Is to follow the direct
road to Philadelphia, then over the Lin
coin Highway to Gettysburg and from
there to Frederick and then to Hagers-
town. From Hagerstown down the val
ley to Winchester is fair excepting just
beyond Martinsburg, which has number
of short rough stretches The valley
pike from Winchester to Staunton Is
perfect.
From Staunton to Hot Springs and
White Sulphur Springs is not q boule-
ward by any means but can be travelled
over with very little difficulty on mostly
dirt road which is apt to be slippery In
wet weather.
All of the above routes are given In
the A. c. A. Tours Guide" published
BY the Automobile Club Of America.

KEEP YOUR BRAKES
WORKING EVENLY
Mitchell Motor Distributor Ad-
vises They Be Examined
Periodically.

1T is Of fundamental importance to
keep the two brakes working evenly.
Some cars are equipped with an equal
izing device which tends to maintain an
even strain on the two brake drums, and
these are the hardest to remedy when
the rubbing surfaces grip uneveniy,"
says George Stowe, president of the
Mitchell Motor Car Company Of New
York.
"Often," continued Mr.. Stowe, "one
drum or lining may become filled with
mud, causing rust on the drum and an
extra wearing tendency on the part OF
the fabric. Or on the other hand, the
lining may become impregnated with oil,
causing more wear on the normal brake
drum than on the one creased. In
either case II the situation is bad II
will be necessary to remove the wheel
and clear both lining and metal sur
face. This usually remedies the fault
Of this method.
Most cars. however, are equipped
with individual connections to the brake
pedal from the drum and are adjusted
separateE. II these grip evenly one
tire u bound to get the more strain.
which in time will wear that tire down
sooner than the other. Sometimes 1t Is
very noticeable. When the brakes are
applied OHe WHcCi blioCo, Whhc
the other revolves. perhaps causing the
car to swerve slightly. There Is no ex-
cuse for brakes in this condition. II the
owner cannot adjust them himself. he
should see that they are attended to.
AT other times the brakes have been
adjusted evenly and wear unevenly, go
that In time one does not grip as 1t
should, or one. becoming damp. causes
rust and in this way creates enough
extra friction on the drum to wear II
down faster than the other one.
THE brakes should be examined from
time to time, and these differences noted.
The best way to adjust the brakes on
the car Is to Jack up the hind wheels
and with the brake slightly on and the
engine running at slow speed with the
clutch in preferably in intermediate
speed, any differences In the speed OF the
hind wheels at once will tell the differ
ences in the grip of the brakes. II one
wheel is turning much slower than the
other. the brake on that side needs
loosening.
'Tt may even be that with the weight
and load off the rear wheels In this
manner one wheel may not revolve at all
while the other is revolving at twice the
normal speed Such an example only
shows how much extra force Is applied
TO the one wheel than the other.

cups. oil holes. ETC. While some manu-
facturers are so far behind as to con-
tinue to use oil holes in exposed places,
the owner Of a car using them should
not let them become filled with dirt. II
/ owned car with exposed oil holes on
cross shafts and ether parts l would
have a mechanic install automatic feed
oil cups.
Sometimes brakes'are hard to operate
after trip over muddy roads. 1t is
because mud gets into the Joints at the
brake bands and other places in the
braking system. These parts cannot be
properly cleaned merely by wiping. One
must dismantle them to get clean
working surface that will operate freely
when fabricated Cleaning of this sort
prevents rusting and certainly goes n
long way toward making for better
handling and car operation.
In filling the transmission and rear
axle with oil or other lubricant be sure
that the filling hole or opening Is clean.
Pouring oil into small opening with
dirt all around the outside Is bad, be-
cause the dirt goes right in with the
oil. Then you hear gear noises and
wonder how 1t happened so suddenly.
Universal points at best are hard to
lubricate and even IL covered with a
leather boot are not proof against the
ravages of dirt and mud. The more
dirt that you allow to accumulate
around these parts the more dirt will
get to the working surfaces.
1t pays to have the car washed under
meath, but 1t also pays to wipe the sur
faces after spraying on water. The
wiping is necessary because some Of
the dirt sticks fast Look over the
smaller parts of your car, the parts that
are hard to see and get at, also ex-
anime parts that don't give you any
trouble. You don't have to do any more
than to clean them and Intricate to
make them run for a longer period.

KEEP CAR CLEAN
FOR BEST RESULTS
Owner Should Go Over 1t
Carefully and Thereby
Thwart Trouble.

Dirt is undesirable no matter where
It Is, but the average automobile owner
has yet to learn that dirt on the running
geXr does more than merely cover up
some painted or implanted metal. Joints
seemingly as tight as a mechanic can
get them allow dirt to pass through.
The reason for the dirt being so unde-
sirable near working parts of the chas-
sis is not SO much because 1t doesn't
look we'll but because 1t eventually gets
to moving surface and starts rapid
wear. II you own a watch with a
screw back on It and you keep that
watch in one Of your pockets where odd
things are put occasionally. Just remove
that screw back and notice the dirt that
has worked Its way in. 1 mention this
merely to show that dirt gets into very
small crevices quite easily.
Around the engine and other parts of
the car there are supposedly tight Joints
In addition to actual openings. Take
the front and cover, commonly called
the timing gear case cover. Vibration
may loosen few of the holding nuts,
allowing the cover to move away from
the crankcase a small fraction OF an
inch. With an accumulation of dirt over
the cover, some Of the dirt is bound to
get to the gear teeth. Dirt and lack Of
fabrication of front end gears are re-
sponsfble for rapid wear and noisy oper
alton.
Every owner ought to keep the engine
clean by an occasional kerosense bath.
Spray kerosene all over the engine and
wipe Off every bit Of dirt you can. This
goes for the crankcase as we'll as the
parts that you can see when you lift the
hook. Dirty oil. oil with sediment, old
oil not changed for some time, are all
causes Of rapid engine wear.
How many owners eve see to Il that
the combination breather and oil filler
is clean on the inside. In some de-
signs there Is every chance for a guam
tity OF dirt to settle on the inside and
this is washed down into the crankcase
when the next oil filling is made.
A dirty engine means a loss in eff
cheney and premature trip to the re-
pair shop. where the cost Of parts re-
placements will be higher than expect
ed. Take the average Ford and many
OF the larger cars, and examine even
the outside Of the ignition unit The
Ford timers are usually covered with
mud and dirt and this gets inside. cuts
the segments. interferes with proper ig-
milton and brings about the need for a
new timer in a few months. Look In
side of a timer that Is generally dirty
on the outside and one will find dirt
also. Generators and starting motors
on the average car do not get very much
attention of any kind by the owner hut
they deserve a good cleaning Some
starting motors are not fully enclosed
while others even. when covered, seem
to accumulate dirt.
! would suggest to the owner that
when he has few hours to spare dur
ing any one month he give the engine
a thorough cleaning, removing dirt from
all Joints, from oil holes, etc.
The underneath parts Of the car are
admittedly hard to get at, but that
should not be an excuse for total neglect
Underneath the car there may be many
places that require oil through small
