Measure the exact height Of the cen
from the ground, and drive a long nail
or screw through the upper part IF
each triangle so that the point of the
screw will be at the same height as
the center of the hub. This is impor-
tant.
See that the car is standing or a lev
ell spot-a concrete floor is best. Place
the scantling under the car so that the
tip of the liked screw touches the In
side rim of the wheel at the rear edge.
Take the movable triangle and slide 1t
along until the tip of the movable
screw touches the inside rim of the OPP
posite wheel. Mark this position on
the scantling.
Now move the apparatus to the front
of the wheels and take another meas
urement of the distance between rims,
marking on the scantling as before.
The difference between the two marks
on the scantling will show nov much
the wheels are out of true, and this
can be corrected by changing the adj

To make the car steer easily and

CONTRASTING is PROFITABLE
Beet Scientific Agency for IsoIatlng
and Graduating Drones From
Dairy Herd.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Practical reports from the various
contrasting associations throughout
the country show the value of this
work of separating the chaff from the
wheat in cowdom. The modern cow
testing association is the best scientific
agency for isolating and Graduating
the drones from the herd, while it also
Is of value as a detector of the highest
producing animals. Such studies of
the cows appetite, digestion and pro-
duction are the economical and logical
methods of increasing the net earn
ings of the dairy.
One Ohio contrasting association,
whose members owned 1856 cows last
year., reports an association average of
345 pounds of butterfat per COW, and
that the present production of the
cows Is ~ pounds of fat more apiece
than it was at the first of the year.
Another contrasting association an
nounces that its expenses during the
last FIVE years have been below $4,000
while the value of the increased pro-
duction during only the last year has
aggregated over $1,000. This remark
able increase in income is not abnor-
NAL for this particular association as
during each yea the production Of the
cows has improved and the returns
greatly increased. Members from n
other association report that all other

Tom, surprised, saw a tree growing
over the road, on the branch of which
was a hornets nest. "As we go by.

to the nest.
Rastus paid no attention to the re-

Never drive your car at high speed

will be offset by the risk of an acct
dent and the pounding and racking
which the car will receive.
1t has been proven that the owner
who drives his car at average speeds
of from twenty-five to ~thirty-fve miles
an hour over all sorts of roads pays
much more per mile for gasoline, oil
and tires than the driver who watches
constantly for rough places and avoids
them and who drives at n rate of
eighteen to twenty miles per hour. A
car which is driven at a high rate of
speed is usually in the repair shop
often, which adds much more to the
cost per mile of operation.

however, managed to get around Whites
ball and win the hole, which left the
match all square.
From then until the ninth hole it
WAS as close match as one could
wish to see. Both White and Sawyer
played the next seven holes in par
figures, which in the parlance of every
the second, Sawyer trimmed the cup on
his fourth shot. The fourth both
played perfectly while on the fifth
White just missed getting a two when
his ball trimmed the cup. Both played
the sixth, according to Hoyle. ON in 2
and down in more.
But the seventh wasn's played ac-
cording to Hoyle, although it was
halved in par figures. This hole was
played as Walter Hagen might play it
when at his very best. White sliced
mashie out, high and far, left him
dead on the green within feet of the
hole. Sawyer, mean time, had hooked
his drive into the rocks The ball
struck tree and ended it's fight on a
rock.
Sawyer finally got set, with his
mashie in hand, then smashed. To the
astonshment of the crowd, who ex-
pected to see a club broken or
aubbed shot, the ball came spinning
through the trees, clipping only few
leaves, and landed alongside of Whites.
Both got 3's on the eighth.
On the ninth Sawyer got a good
drive, while White hooked his to the
other fairway. He took three more to
get on and two to get down while
Sawyer played out in 5 and won the
hole. The turn was made with Sawyer
one to the good.
Sawyer dropped his advantage on the
very next hole, when he drove out of
bounds and took five to Whites par
four. The eleventh White also won,
when he got on in two and down in
two more, whereas Whites putt of ten
and refused to drop. They halved the
twelfth in fours. Sawyer squared up
the match again on the thirteenth hole
by playing sound golf, while White
took five. He sliced his drive to the
other fairway, went to the endge Of
the brook in two and took three to sink
his ball.
White managed to halve the fifteenth
when he played wonderful mashe
shot from the opposite fairway, over

which carried across the green and

landed in the opposite fairway, but he

drove to the opposite fairway, while
Sawyer was down the alley, landed on

played his second to the rough and
