Truss Rod Cures sag-It is common

Truss Rod Cures Sag-It is common
to find car frames that sag in the
middle. after a considerable period of
service. Sometimes this condition pro-
duces difficulty in crutch shifting and
other mechanical operations because
the various parts have been twisted a
little out of alignment. The proper
way to cure a sagging frame is to fit a
truss rod, with a turnbuckle, under the
sagging portion of the frame. If the
car owner can not carry out the repair
himself and machine shop or garage
can do the work.

Looping Pistons-Various substances
may be used for looping pistons,
among them emery dust. ground glass
and rotten stone. Undoubtedly the
best Of these three is rotten stone. The
powdered glass contains such hard
granulers that some of them are likely
to become imbedded in the piston or
cylinder wall. A little cylinder oil
mixed with rotten stone to form a thin
paste serves admirably in this connec-
ton. In tapping the piston should be
given reciprocated and oscillating
motion,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1920-02-07

In grinding valves a very small
of emery paste should be
smeared on the beveled edge of the
valve. considerable pressure should
be used on the grinding tool and the
value should be turned only half
way around. Care should be taken
and the space between the valve stem
and the camshaft should not be over
the thickness of q visiting card.

CITY ITSELF IS
 SLOW CLEANING
 OWN SIDEWALKS
Stretch Bounding Parking Space In Deplorable
 Condition

Despite the activities of a great number of citizens of the city, warn ings by the various official depart ments of Bridgeport, and considera- ton Of the safety of pedestrians, the stretch of sidewalk on Broad and John streets bounding the public parking space and directly or indir- ectIy controlled by the city, remains in as sloppy and slippery condition al any pavement to be found today.
 With hardly any exceptions the merchants and residents of the city, especially around the center, were busy either last night or this morn ing attempting to render the side walks fit for use. Yesterdays warm weather and the continued thaw to- day have probably had much to do with the sudden access of ambition on the part of househ folders while the warnings issued by the police de- partment possibly count for some thing also.

CLAIMS GAS KILLED
 MAPLE TREES; SUES GAS co. FOR $1,50O

Making the claim that three large maple trees on his front lawn in Dan- bury were destroyed by fumes of gas which escaped from mains in the ground beneath, Henry W. Pagan has started suit against the Danpury & Bethel Gas and Electric Light Co.,, for $1,5O0. Papers in the suit were filed in the Superior court today and are returnable to the February term.
 It is alleged that because of neg 1igence of the company the gas mains were allowed to become so defective that gas escaped and permeated the ground. The trees were soon killed, Pagan says, and because of their loss the value of his property for residen- tial purposes was greatly decreased. Ke says if the company had kept the pipes in good condition the trees would not have been destroyed.

Paris. Jan. 2s-Members Of the Jugo Slav peace delegation declare there can be no foundation for re- ports emanating from Berne yester- day to the effect that the Belgrade government had decided to accept the allies ultimatum relative to set lement of the Adriatic question. The delegation expects to receive-its gov. ernment's reply today.
 Delegates this morning expressed the opinion that the Jugo Slav gov. ernment would refuse to meet the aI- lied terms and that any cabinet, rather than accept the ulttma$ufn, would resign.
 Paris, Jan. 2s.---The Jugo saav re- ply to the allied u1timatum regarding the Adriatic question, received in Paris this afternon, amount to a virtual re- fusa1 of the compromise offered by tfie Italians. The reply, it is believed, suggests new basis of compromise along the lines of President Wilson's proposal.

Care should be taken to keep oneself warm and take AAOI OS@I1AS ckIid every 1nCdnS SI1C0IQ pc used to prevent contaminating the rest of a family. pr. Browns one big warning was not to dose oneself with aspirin tablets and whiskey As pirin, he claims, is a drug which should never be used except on ths advice of a physician and he deliver. ed some rather warm remarks about the advertisements which are ap- bearing from aspirin makers advising the public to use it and condemns this propaganda as strictly untrue advice.
 Great care should also be taken when a person has a cold with fever not to associate with the other mem bers of the family.

GOVERNOR DID NOT REMARK
 ON SUFFRAGE

Suffrage leaders in Connecticut were this morning amazed to read in cir newspapers that Governor HoI- comb had at the Mckinley dinner in Middletown come out in favor of suf- frage after his long opposition, but all doubt was removed today when it was found that the governor did not make the remarks credited to him.
 In his speech Chairman Cole said that women would within a year or two take part in the annual get-to- gether of the Republican party and not the governor as reported. His speech was of the rather formal type and did not deal at all with suf- frage.

 DISABLING OF ARMY TRANSPORT Bunker Carried Away Which Caused Coal To
 Shift.

Washington, Jan. 2s-Investigation of the cause of the disabling of the army transport Powhatan at sea Is being made by an official board sit- ting at Ney York. It. announcing this today, the War apartment said reports regarding Bolshevik activity by members of the transports crew or others on board had thus far been proven to be without foundation.
 From information available here it appears that in a heavy gale 8 DOT ton of the coal bunker bulkhead was carried away. allowing about 75 tons of coal to shift. The fuel choked the pumps and they could not keep up with a leakage through a clogged ash ejector. In spite of the rapidly ris- ing water in the fireroom, 1t was said all the ffiremen remained on duty un- til ordered out by the chief engineer when the water was shoulder high.

Broken Blossoms" Bridgeport's s founding baby who was deserted and then brought to this city in a bag from New York, may have to go back to that state. says Judge Paul L. Miller of the Probate Court.
