potential resources of the great

Opinion of Senator.
Senator John B. Kendrick, also
of Wyoming. commends the link
ing up of our National recreation
spaces:
1T is no longer a matter of ar
gument that good roads are es-
sential to the economic growth of
our country or that the money ex-
pended in improving our National
highways is a most profitable in
vestment. A peculiar value, how
ever, attaches to the Park-to-Park
Highway plan. Our national parks
are among the most wonderful and
beautiful scenic spots of the world,
but hitherto they have been too
little known to the people of our
country, and. indeed. to the people
of the West"

Dry Bearings.

One cause of insufficient lubrica-
zion in the bearings is found in Oh
structions, in the grooves in the
bearing holder. Sediment often col
lects in these grooves so that they
cannot perform their appointed
function of carrying lubricating oil
to the bearing surfaces. An excess
OF graphite. If that be used with the
oil. sometimes pl loduces this condi-
ton.
The Washington herald., 1920-06-06
Unnohced Leaks.

In summer, when tn heat causes
rapid evaporation OF gasoline, tiny
leaks In the fuel line often escape
discovery. In some cases this will
be enough to account for a sudden
cutting down of the mileage per
gallon. So in cases where the rela-
tive mileage shows a sudden drop
1t is well to inspect the fuel line for
small leaks.

Clean Plugs.

Many car owners do rot realize
the importance of keeping the spark
plugs clean. The points Of the
plug seldom need cleaning, but
grease and mineral art do accu-
mulate en- the exterior and interior
of the porcelain, so that the current
passes that way instead of jumping
the gap, as is int ndeG. The plugs
should be kept clean, or ignition
troubles will result.

Blow Torch for Soldering.

An ordinary blow-torch equipped
with a burner end tipped with cop
per can be used very nicely for
soldering. The point is easily
maintained at the proper heat. The
end of the burner should be thread
ed on the outside and a hole is
drilled in the copper the same way
to make openings for the flame to
come through.

Loose Stud Bolt.

1t sometimes happens that in TAX
ing on the valve cover plate one of
the studs may slip out and the loss
viii not be discovered. This leaves
an opening into the intake passage,
and the leak will prevent the sue
tion through the carburetor needed
to draw the fuel into the cylinders.

Stop Theft!

Back In the days when the West
was rare,
II Bad Man lifted a body's mare
A hot wrath ran through the coun-
try-side-
With aNquick demand for the Bad
Mans hide;
For a plug purloined was a hostile
deed
And it didn't square with the cow
mans creed.
a posse drew TO the sheriff's shack
And they all fell in on the filcher's
track.
No distance baked; to the Vests
renown
They rode the trail till they ran him
down,
And 1T wasn't a fine for the Bad
Man then
Cr a brief sojourn In the comfy pen.
Take it from me as from one that's
Joe.
I've read Bret Harte and I ought
to know;
They strung him up in the leafy
wold,
And the steed came back to the own
er's fold.
But today from out of its customed
cote
Some rake Of the rabble has frisked
my boat.
The motor that is my Joy and pride,
And l thirst like sin for the Bad
Mans hide.
The sheriff yawns and he begs to
state
That the arm of the law will in
vestigate,
But 1 know darn we'll that a boat
retrieved
Is never the same as the boat that's
thieved.
They'll slip the pirate that wrecked
my chaise
A measley mulct or his thirty days,
Or caution him not to filch anew
Which is what the sentence invites
him to.
We can tie to this as a wager, pal,
That well miss our car from the
old corral
Till the term dealt out for the
crime appears
A bit unhealthy for buccaneers.

Gear Noises.

Most OF the ills of the motor car
are indicated by audible symptoms.
A weaving Ecise In the diferential
case may be taken as an Indication
that the master level gear of the
unit is running out of alignment. A
slight catch, which occurs several
times during each revolution of the
driving wheels, Is tho sign OF a
Clipped tooth in the drive shaft
pinion or ring gear.

PRACTICAL PARAGRAPHS.
Hose Protector.

Oil is the deadly enemy of rubber.
1t is a good plan to protect the in
let hose from the radiator to the
pump from the effects of oil by
giving IL coat of shellac. The
shellac prevents the oil soaking
through and getting at the rubber.
The Washington herald., 1920-06-06
Garage Light.

A very satisfactory light for use
in the garage may be made by cut
ting the side out OF an empty metal
can of the sort that metal polish
comes in, which has a screw top.
A case Of this~kind otviates glare
and also affords protection to the
glass tuih. BY running a layer of
solder in the bottom of the can to
give it weight IL makes a stand
for the light. which can be con-
veniently used on the work bench.
Adjusting Vibrator Coils.
In cases where excessive current
consumption develops in connection
with vibrator coils the condition
will probably be found to be due
to excessive tension on the vibrator
springs. The spring adjustment
should be loosened until missing
develops in the motor and then
until the engine begins
firing regularly again. When the
tension is frightened beyond this
point excessive consumption results.

Aline md james married In Dubuone
Iowa. and came to New York civ on
!. the first two hundred dollars. For a
long time after their arrival, James
operated upon a fleeting basis. without
ONCE. without practice, and Frequently
without food.
he did little tasks around police
courts, and Aline WINS captain and gen.
| eral manager Of the little apartment
on East Ninety-third street, which
cleavered away from their tiny sink

Aline promptly discovered how It
should be used. even II 1t were intended
for something else; and, as the ring
hung almost beside the door leading
Into the hall. It was her thoughtful
custom to greet James upon his return
from downtown with a wifely kiss.
which she delivered thu ough the leather
ring.
Not bit OF sense to It, OF course ;
but Aline liked It, and the ring Just
covered her eyes. So. sometimes. Jim
couldn't tell that she had been crying.
When the little launch drIfted out OF
her sight the little hat drifted in, and
for long time she sat in silence, re-
calling one familiar object after an
other, and wondering what had hap
pened to her and to Jim in the years
that had crept between.
Not SO very many years, she unused.
he was a bit younger then, to be sure.
So was she.
But In those happy. poverty-stricken
months, life had held something for
each Of them that It no longer pos
sessed. At least, II it still held it for
her. In q measure, It seemed not to for
Jim.
It was appreciation, she decided. or
course. Jim was comparatively happy.
he realized that his llfeMas flowing IA

his beautiful home and with his wife,

he had somehow reached tomorrow,
and had found it commonplace and,
worst Of oil, he was drifting away from
Aline; not through desire OF his and
not because he was weary Of having
her. but because something inside him
was becoming atrophied. The world
was getting Jim, and Aline was losing
him.
"And can remember" she said
aloud, "the time the plumbers came
and piped our first flat and put in the
gas jets to replace the oil lamp. Jim
and nearly died Of ,joy-sat up and
read the whole night through Just be-

II wish Jim could like things now as
he liked those foolish gas jets. At

them in to the Office. Some how or
other people thought that they were
there for samples and the first
fellow who helped himself was a
stock salesman who came into the
rear Office where the editor was set
ting up an adv. and querried which
one of those apples har been brought
in for him. Before we could ex-
plain that they were not for gratis
distribution, he produced the remains
of what had been the best looking
and biggest apple in the window and
said that they were mighty good.
From that time on they went good
deal like the ten little indians and
by the time we got around to stick
the reat little card bearing the his

there was but one apple lef.-a King
