Q. My Maxwell, which is a 1910 model, jumps out of gear when driving on the level. Will you please explain the cause of this. Tell me how to the drive shaft and the wheel?
 A. The gear jumps out of mesh be- cause:
 1. The gears are not fully meshed.
 2 The shifter rod does not engage far enough.
 3. The shifter lever is bent.
 The propeller shaft is fitted with universal and you don't have to line it up. If you mean a rear axle drive shaft then the only way you have or testing is to run a known straight bar through the whole axle housing and taking measurements at the ends and center with the ground.
 To line up front wheels see that the tops of the wheels are about one-half inch wider apart than the bottoms and the fronts one-half inch closer together than the rears. The adjustment may be made by means of the tie rod.
 Q. I had my 1914 Ford reground, new pistons and rings put in. I also put a new timer, new wires and new platinums on the coils. Since having this done I have not been able to get the amount of power should out of the three and four cylinders. took off the head of the engine and found that in running the rings in that three and four scored. When riding at high speed I do not notice any "yank,' but at low speed Con hlgh) there is "yank." Do you think the scoring is what is making the "yank ?" Is there any way of overcoming this except to have the cylinders ground again? The cylinders are scored quite a little and the ''yank' comes regular with the firing of three and four cylin- ders. The cylinders were ground out to .025 oversize. If grinding Is the remedy would it be practical to re- grind above .025?
 A. Badly scored cylinders cause ex- cessfve leaking of mixture, and 1t is possible that misf1ring sets in, hence the ''yank." Better have the cylinders rebored, but not any more than neces- sary to reduce the scoring. Better have the mechanic advise you if the scoring can be removed with a few thousandths overbore.

to Ex-Service Men Of Country
on Armistice Day.

Presentation Of the Victory medals.
to which 100000 soldiers, sailors and
marines are entitled for service in the
World war, will be carried out in
thousands of communities through the
agency of the American Legion on
2Armistice day. Acceptance Of the
iLegion's offer to aid the war depart
sment in the distribution of the med
ais has been received by Franklin
lD'Olier, the national commander, and
plans are already under way in many
localities for the staging of elaborate
ceremonies in connection with the for
mai presentation.
An appeal for all of the $500 posts
of the Legion to cooperate in the
medal distribution enterprise in order
that the celebration of Armistice day
"may be memorable for years to come"
was sent to the heads Of all depart
ments by Mr.. D'Olier.
1T is with wholesome pride in the
triumph Of our arms in the most cru
cfal test Of strength in history" he
wrote, "that the Legion appeals to
all Americans to make Armistice day
1920, memorable for years to come.
We desire that it shall be above all
else, a tribute to our country and our
flag and the flags of our allies. In
other sense it should be a solemn,
!a~ffectionate dedication of our lives to
the principles for which more than
100000 Of our c%ountrymen and mil
lions of our comrades-in-arms made
the greatest sacrifice"
Not only will the presentation Of
the medals be marked by impressive

the country but celebrations will be

Had it not been for the initiative Of
the American Legion there would be
nc ceremony attached to the diStribu-
ton of the medals, Mr.. D'Olier points
out. 81 believe the American Legion

fact that but for it there would have

distribution applicants were to apply
Individually, either through a recruit

the army or the secretary of the navy.
Medals were to be sent by mail to the
home address of the recipient. The
award of a token so significant as the
Victory medals marks an epoch in u
history and should, and will be, invest
ed with appropriate ceremony"

from the government the official appli-
cation forms with which to supply the
ex-service men in their communities.

TO START DRIVE IN CONGESTION IT FREIGH1
 MONDAY
Government to Break Jam at Thirty Principal Gateways
 at Same Time

WASHINGTON, May 21. - Attack on the freight congestion which has threatened to paralyze the national arteries of transportation will be con- centrated immediately at a score of junction points, operating officials of the American Railway association were instructed tonight.
 Formation of committees at each of thirty "gateways" was ordered, the duty of which will be to dig cars out of the mass and see that they are forwarded eXpeditiously.
 These instructions were supple mental to the action of the Interstate Commerce Commission covering dras- tic re-routing and equipment pooling, which were designed to deal with the congestion as a whole.
 The car committee will begin work Monday at the following cities: Omaha, Seattle. Baltimore, Cincinnati, Youngstown, Ohio, Minneapolis, St. Paul. Norfolk. New York, St. Louis, Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Portland, Oregon, Peoria, Birming- ham, Kansas City, Cleveland, Detroit, Washington, D, C., New Orleans. Pittsburgh, Galveston, Atlanta. San Francisco, Dallas, Toledo and Chicago.
 Railroads entering each of these cities were asked to designate rep on the committee empow- cred to direct the handling of all traf- fife at it's terminal.
 In addition to the committees, ad- visory groups also were authorized whose membership will consist of one official, one shipper and of the Interstate Com merce Commission.
 The advisory groups will work with both the local car service commit tee of the roads and with une nnter state Commerce Commission.

Young cotton in the path of the storm was totally destroyed on many farms while older cotton suffered heavy damage, reports tonight indicated.
 Hail stones, in many instances de- scribed as large as walnuts, beat dofwn the cotton stalks. The heaviest damage was reported from the dis tricts south and west of Phoenix and north and east of the city.
 The storm, approaching from the southwest, centered over the Buck eye road as it swept into Phoenix and it continued in a northeasterly di- restion Outside it's two mile strip of greatest violence, it did little dam- age. according to reports tonight.

MEAT FAMINE |S. PREDICTED BY
 PACKERS OF
 NATION
Diversion of Cars by Order of Government Causes many
 to Cut Output

CHICAGO, May 21.-An immediate construction of the nations meat supply is threatened by the reduced quota of refrigerator cars apportion- ed by packing companies by the h. terstate Commerce Commission, ac- cording to a statement issued tonight by Thomas E. Wilson, president of the Institute of American Meat Pack CTS. in behalf of American packing companies.
 Reports received today at the in- stitute from several sections show that some plants may have to shut down on account of the laack of cars" the statement said "Other plants have been forced to effect 30 per cent c1rtailment of the pro- duction of meat, and some of these are on the point of stopping opera t4ons entirely.
 No packer owns enough refrigera- tor cars to take care of his own bus mess. The larger packers are com pelled to rely on railroad owned cars for 9 to B per cent of their equip ments, and the smaller packers de- pend largely on these common car riers.
 Ordinarily the necessities of the packing industry are recognized and filled in order to protect the con sumer. But the Interstate Commerce Commission has diverted to other uses a considerable part of the quota usually assigned and urgently needed to move meat.
 AS a consequence labor is being laid off and the quantity of livestock dressed is being reduced. Unless this condition is remedied a shortage of meat is bound to follow. The pro- ducer, who already is losing money. will suffer from a restricted market for his meat animals. The packing industry, confronted by reduced oper- ations and continuance of fixed charges, also will be hurt"

Bergdoll Tricks Soldiers and Makes Escape While
 on Visit Home

PHILADELPHIA, May 21. - Grov- ef Cleveland Bergdoll, 2S years old, convicted draft dodger. recently sen tenced to serve five years on Cover nor's Island. New York, escaped from army guards at his mothers home here today and tonight was still at large. The wealthy Philadelphian disappeared in his own motor car while two sergeants from Fort Jay, New York, his kuards, were sitting in the drawing room of Mrs. Berg dolls home. The machine was driv- en by Bergholls chaffeur, according to police.
 According to information received here from Fort Jay tonight, Bergdoli came to Philadelphia yesterday on a three days furlough to attend to Jim portant business matters" It was said by the military authorities that he had left Governors Island on competent military instructions. The nature of Bergdoll's business, the military authorities said, was confi- dential.
 It was said the two sergeants had spent the night at the Bergdoll home. This afternoon Bergdoll was enter taining the sergeants with recitations from Shakespeare. according to a friend of the Bergdoll family. A tel ephone rang and Bergdoll said he would answer it. He left the room and as the bell kept ringing the two sergeants became suspicious and in vestigated. His car. which had been standing in front O. the house, had disappeared and BergdUll with 1t. The draft dodger was dressed in olive drab denim, the army prison uni form.
 The two sergeants telephoned po- lice headquarters and every avenue of escape around the city was GOV cred
 Mrs. Emma c. Bergdoh, the fugi- tive's mother, was not at home when her son escaped, but returned shortly after
 Military authorities tonight arc making an investigation to ascertain whether there was any collision and whether Bergdoll was aided in his escape.

PANIC SWEEPS
 GRAIN MARKET
Wild Rush to Unload Follows Promise of Wheat Move
 ment by Government

CHICAGO. May 21-Millions of bushels of grain were flung suddenly on the markets today by holders who had become unnerved. Prices culver ed and then collapsed The strain and it's violent result was attributed mostly to sweeping changes announ- ced in railroad operation and to na- tionwide tightening of credits Wreckage of values totaled 13 1-2 cents bushel on corn. 6 3-Sc on oats and S1.75 a barrel on pork.
 Tonight, owing to the tension creat- ed. every brokerage house in Chi cago was calling for heavily increas- ed margins on all open trades. and there was prospect of another stren- uous day tomorrow.
 Rural owners took a conspicuous part in the general selling rush that precipitated today's big smash in prices.
 It was said also that heavy pres sure came from houses with Wall Street connections. The outstanding feature certainly was that liquidation of great magnitude had commenced. and was wholly unchecked when the session came to an end, with quota tions at the lowest point reached and the trade in the pit a bedlam.
 Fear of a glut of supplies at dis tributing points caused the belief that a drastic order would be issued for the railroads to move grain on a prior ity basis Another special bearish in- fluence was the continued attention given to the cutting of merchandise prices in department stores at dis taut cities whereas little or no notice in the confusion was taken today of the recovery of Liberty bonds.
