The great change wrought in the
daily life of the inhabitants of the
Philippines by automobiles and
good roads is told by Army Arm
strong in a recent issue of the Ma
nilla Daily Bulletin:
The Sultan of SuIu came to town
the other day; that is, to Jolo town,
while ] was making a brief visit to
the capital city of the Sulus-
He came in with his prime min
lister and retinue including a couple
of bodyguards in full regalia- The
Sultan had all his glad rags on and
carried his finest beetle nut box OF
chased gold.
On CoaI-BIack Stallion.
TT recalls to me the last time
saw the ruler of the Moros enter
Jolo back in 1902 when he came in
for his first big pow-wow with Col.
Hockey wallace. the American big
chief in Jolo at that time. His sui
tanship rode in over the trails from
Miauban on a coal-black stallion.
and besides his royal suite and UNI
brella carriers. had as his escort
some 200 fighting men with spears
waving and barongs and krises
aglitter in the sun. all in a ragtime
of color that shamed the rainbow.
They had been five hours coming
over the nine-mile trail from his
summer home; the coming was pret-
ty bad.
How different the entry I saw
last week. This time he breezed
over in fifteen minutes in his big
passenger car over as perfect and
pretty a road as you will find this
side Of Riverside Drive. He had
come in to look over some new ac-
cessories and fittings he was having
installed on a new limousine he has
bought for the rainy season and
which will be a convenient shopping
car for his favorite wife and a
dozen or so other wives that will
be permitted to use il. and thought
to myself what a wonderful comb;-
nation they make for civilization
automobiles and first-clsss roads.
Picturesque Joy Rides.
The Sultan is not the only South
eTn lhldnd Cnle1taln VINO enjoys JOY
riding. as in the farawey Davao the
picturesque headmen of the Msno-
bos. Bogobos and still wilder men
from the mountains have the gas
oline fever. The Davao district has
only twenty kilometers of road.
but scores of cars and trucks are
busy hauling hemp and savage wild
men. who trade half a bale of hemp
for a couple of hours riding back
and forth. The Igorots in the
mountains of the North several
years ago learned the pleasures OF
the road. Where formerly these
husky mountaineers set a pack on
their shoulders and went down over
the mountain trails into the low
lands, they now take passage on
one Of the many passenger autos
out of Bacuio. and in a few hours
over the famous Benguet or NaEui-
liam roads. are in the valley trading
their hill treaSCres for tender dogs

Goodyear Deaf Mutes Marry.

The largest deaf-mute colony in the
world. numbering more than 700. was
en- fete recently for the marriage of
Miss Nellie Gillespie, Little Mother
Of the Mutes," who has charge of the
colony these silent" workers for
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber COM
pany of Akron. Miss Gillespie. her
self the child of mute parents. but
possessing all her faculties, married a
deaf mute. Because the officiating
minister did not know the sign lam
guage. Chester Yon, who does, inter-
preted the marriage service as the
minister spoke it and also told the
clergyman the responses made by the
couple. 1t was the most unique mar
risge ever performed in Akron. Miss
Gillespie will remain in charge of deaf
nute welfare work for Goodyear.

MOTOR TRUCKS
BEAT BLOCKADE
No Danger Of Congestion
To Interfere With Road
Transportation.

"One of the greatest obstacles to
tation equipment is that of the
elimination of congestion" says ].
F. Lynch, director of sales of the
Kissel Motor Car Co.
Until the railroads are at least
25 per cent greater in area covered
and the number of units employed
than the combined demands of the
nation, congestion will always ap-
pear imminent.
Due to elasticity and ability to
operate over different kinds of roads
and not having to confine it's area
over a certain prescribed route. the
motor truck by reason of its elas-
ticity does not have the danger of
The Washington herald., 1920-02-15

congestion to interfere with its op-
Grafton.
Motor loading stations need
never be congested because they can
be loaded every place. even right
at the door of the consiEnor. They
can be loaded at any corner without
special platforms. Then. again. the
operating area of a truck need
never be congested-they do not all
have to follow the same road or
highway, even il they are all going
to the same destination. They do
not have to wait on side line for
trucks coming in the opposition di-
rection to pass them. They do not
have switches and other parapher-
MALTA necessary to an efficient opera
tion of the railroads to hold them
bpck or hinder their performance.
This efficiency of the motor truck.

the big points that transportation
unit has over any other mode of
travel"

Lincoln Highway Sees
Successful Year Ahead

Motorists of the country will be
pleased to hear that 1890 will probably
be the biggest year of progress in the
history of the Lincoln Highway Asso-
citation. At recent meeting Presi-
dent F. A. Seiberling reported that the
1919 construction exceeded $1,000. 900
and that the new year will see an equal
or greater sum expended to put the
great transcontinental road in per-
manent shape. The year will also see
the passage of the Townsend highway
Hill. which will be the elimination of
the association's long educational ef-
fort The resignation of Mr.. Seiber-
ing as president was received with re-
Gret. but his work as the head of The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
calls for his entire time. II. b. Joy
was elected to succeed him.

Adjust a Warm Motor

Adjusting a cold motor seldom
proves satisfactory afterward. Last
ing adjustments must be made un-
der the conditions of normal opera
tion, which they aim to improve
This being the case, the motor
must run a while and warm up TO
the usual running heat, and ad-
justing will then make good in ac-
ton.

Locked Car.

1t sometimes happens that the drive
wheels of the car are locked because
of breakage in the differential or uni
versals, so that it is impossible even
to haul the car home. In these cir
it is best to remove the
keys that hold the rear wheels to the
axles. This allows the rear axles to
turn freely and the car may be towed
in without further difficulty.

Taking Up Valve Clearance.

Where no means of adjusting the
valve clearance of an engine Is
provided. as is the case of many of
the older models particularly, there
is a simple way of getting the same
result. This involves slipping one
or more fiber or metal disks of suf-
ficient thickness to take up excess
sive play between the bottom of the
valve stem and the push, rod, a
metal retainer made from sheet
metal being used to keep them in
place.

Your automobile is pushed.

Your automobile Is pushed
1t is easy to, think of an auto
mobile as just rolling along with
no particular force exerted be-
tween the driving axle and the
rest of the car, but the fact is
that every pound of power that
is required to push a car with its
greatest load up the steepest hill
must be transmitted in some way
to the mass of the car from the
rear axle. 1t Is almost universal
practice, now-a-days. to transmit
this pushing force through the
rear springs. The one most con-
spicuous exception to this rule is
a well-known, low-priced car with
cross springs, front and rear. In
this car the push is delivered
through the housing for the pro-
peller shaft.
Consider the rear axle as a unit.
There are two principal forces

In the first system mentioned

ing is bolted to the forward part
of the axle housing and extends

pressure Is downward on the front
OF the ring gear and as there is a
certain amount of yielding in the
tires and a slight slipping of the
tires on the road surface. particu-
iarly when a quick start is made.
the tendency is for the front of
the axle to drop and the rear to
rise.
On the other hand. when the
brakes are applied suddenly with
the clutch engaged there is a ten
dency of the driving pinion to
climb up the ring gear with the
result that the front of the axle
is raised and the rear lowered
