Omaha. March 4.-To the Editor
of The Bee: In justice to myself
and the organization i represented.
feel that must protest against hav
ing been so misquoted by a repre-
sentative OF your paper Tuesday
| morning when the women of six or
ganizations in Omaha presented to
the city council their petition re-
garding commercialized dances on
Sunday.
| What said was: Because Oma
ha is q large city, the largest In the
state, Is not valid reason for hav'
ing a wide-open city on Sunday.
Many cities with much greater pop
ulation do not allow commercialized
Sunday amusements. 1t is matter
of law and order and good morals
and not the size of the city or per
sonal opinion" Residence in much
| larger cities where Sunday dances,
theaters, moving picture shows, etc.
are not permitted, has shown me
that such communities are much
freer from robberies, holdups, riots.

Against Fresh Air.
Omaha. March 4.-To the Editor
of The Bee: The fresh air flends
are getting in their work early this
year. for already they open long
rows Of windows on the street cars
and do not pay any attention to the
rules Of health or to the wants of
other passengers on the cars. I
have always been told that it is IN
furious to sit in draughts Of cold air,
but the fresh air f1ends on the street
cars open up the windows on both
sides of the car, no difference how
much cold air is blowing at the
time.
There should be some regulation
by the city authorities or by the
street railway company of the num-
ber of windows that should be open
in the cars, if the young fresh air
fiends have no regard for the rights
Of other passengers on the cars
A conductor told me last night
that some of the fresh air fiends did
not have any more sense than to
open the windows on his car even
such cold and blustery night as
last night was. o..
Such people ought to be compelled
to ride in open cars the year round.
came near telling a young woman
the other day that she ought to ride
on top of the cars If she is so hot
when she gets on the street cars. /
made one fellow shut the window
quickly one evening recently when
he opened the window by his side
when there was gale from the east.
+ think the health officers ought to
look after the regulation of the win
dow opening in the street cars, for
the health and life as well, of many
people is endangered by the sense.
less fresh air fiends. These same
people who open up the cars while
cold weather is with us will have
furs on next summer. when thcr-
mometers will be 100 in the shade.
1t shows that lot of people are in
need of being taught some common,
every day, horse sense.
FRANK A. AGNEW.
(Note: A city health regulation
requires that the street cars be well
ventilated, and that at least one
window be kept open in all but the
most severe weather or during vio-
lent storms)

ABSORBING SHOCKS
ON SERVICE TRUCKS
Stress on Driving Parts Less
ened by Use Of Rubber and
Fabric Joint Disc Between
Engine and Transmission.

One of the features of Service con-
struction which has q very great ef-
feet in increasing the life Of the truck
Is the use of the rubber and fabric
universal joints between the engine
and transmission according to the
manufacturers chief engineer.
Every time the clutch Is engaged a
tremendous shock is transmitted from
the engine to the wheels. The engine
is probably running at eight or nine
hundred I. p. m. and then with the
truck stationary, the clutch is dropped
in and the truck. Weighing several
tons, must be started In spite of the
enormous inertia. This brings a terrif-
ic stress on the driving parts in the
transmission, universal joints. rear axle
and wheels. In the Service construc-
ton, however. the propeller shaft be-
tween the engine and the transmission
Is fitted with these rubber and fabric
discs, which because of their construc-
ton. absorb the worst of the shock.
In fact, every time an engine passes
the explosion stroke. the shock III
transmitted all through the mechanism
II not absorbed by some proper cush-
ionin2 method. The Service Motor
truck company has been using this

4 11E IA IJTO QUIZ

The Capital News today publishes
the second OF series u question: and
answers Tor the motOrfst. One set 81
questions will be asked each week and
answered next The answers will b
complete 20 that the reader can read
lily understand what the question the
week before was. The question, which
were prepared by an expert, are OF
practicai ana educational value for the
average motorist. q
ANsWERe 70 LAST WEEKS
QUESTIONS
1. The cause Of excessive smoking
and rapid carbonization Of q motor
with good compression Is the use OF
too much oil In the crank case or the
use or the wrong grade Of oil This
latter Is usually caused whom too light
oil is used.
2. To make gear shifting easy and
noiseless the change from low to sec
car 10 going five or six miles per hour.
The speed varies with the make Of car
when shifting from second to high. the
average being from 10 to is miles per
hour. This same applies when shifting
from high back into second.
g. A good and easily made body poll
ish is composed Of one half gallon tur-
pentine. one half pint OF paraffine oil,
one and three quarter ounces Of cit
ronella oil and three quarters Of an
ounce Of oil of cedar.
I. A semi floating axle is one on
which the entire weight Of the car
comes on the axle shafts which are
also depended upon to transmit the
power from the differential. The three
quarter floating axle Is one in which
the axle shaft is subject only to tor
sional trains due to the power APP
piled to drive the car The full float
ing style OF axle is one in which the
housing takes the full weight Of the
car and the axle is protected Within 1t.
thus the axle has nothing to do but
apply the power.
5. The solution in a storage battery
will not freeze until the temperature
reaches 90 degrees below zero il it is
fully charged that is, IL the hydro
meter shows its specific gravity to be
1900. If the battery is allowed to get
very low with specific gravity OF 115O
it will freeze at 10 degrees above zero
Moral: Keep your battery fully charged
i'll winter.
8. When the electrical system is
short circuited the first thing to do is
to examine the fuse box for a burned
out fuse. Then look at the wiring
connection.
z. Shut off the ignition and also the
throttle when going down a long hill.
1t will mean big saving in gasoline.
Even IL you use the engine as a brake
shut them off. With both or one open
you draw out a great deal of gasoline
WHICH is not used to propel the car.
8. Soft water is preferable to hard
water for filling the cooling system.
Use strained or filtered rain water
if obtainable.
3. Oversize tires save from one
fourth to one-half in upkeep in the
long run because there IL more dura-
bility and more resiliency to absorb
the road Jars.
TO- The electric generator and start
Ing motor should not be oiled oftener
than every 500 or 600 miles. Use but a
few drops of Very thin pure oil
