DETECTIVES OF THE LEGION
National Commander Galbraith OUT
lines What Is Planned to Be Ac.
compIished During the Year.

The detectives of the American Le-
gion for the year 1921 were told by
F. w. Galbraith, Jr., national COM
mander, in recent speech in Gin
cinnati. at a dinner attended by Le-
gionnaires and business men.
Mr.. Galbraith cited the disabled
mans problems as the Legion's para
mount concern and termed the finding
of satisfactory solution as lone job
that is going to be DONE"
"Woe unto the man." he added, "or
the bureau or bureau chief who will
fully stands in the way Of paying the
honorable obligation the government
owes these men. Whoever he Is he
will have to get OUT
He warned against the activities of
the l. w. w. and kindred organiza-
tons and outlined the position of the
Legion as follows: "s'''." -'''~
"The time has come when line
must be drawn between loyal and dis
loyal Americans. We do not claim to
have monopoly on patriotism but
because Of our service our loyalty IS
a little clearer to our hearts and is a
little more intense. We intend to
crush this thing, if it ever raises its
head, that we already have fought and
licked" - >"'t.s
Mr.. Galbraith also spoke Of the de-
sire of the Legion to unite with the
veterans associations Of the allies, In
order to promote international amity.
"People accuse us Of being over
enthusiastic" he said. "They declare
that we believe ourselves to be the
only patriots. God knows we are not.
If we were it would be a sorry day for
the nation. We know we have hun
dred million associates and we ask
them to help us because without their
good will and assistance We can &C.
complish nothing"

trouble. >-.-5~.
Don't neglect small cuts. These
will often extend further than
you think. Dirt and water gets
in, the fabric rots, and a blowout
follows. Look over your tires
from time to time and repair
small cuts. s.g: .:e,..,.
Don't run in ruts, car tracks
or against curbing. The side
walls of a tire are much thinner
than the tread and viii not
stand this kind Of usage.
Don't start or stop suddenly or
skid around corners. The strain
thus set up in the tires is terrific.
Don't run on a flat tire. Bet
ter run on the rim if only for q
short distance.

STORAGE OF CAR
DURING WINTER
Practical Suggestions to Protect
Utility and Add to Life Of .n
an Automobile. "
DRn,,:;I RADIATOR and MOTOR
Nees Engine Going Long Enough to
Evsrorats Every Drop Of Water to
Prevent Freezing and Possibly
Bursting Jackets.

When it is found necessary to store
Your ear during the winter months, the
water should be thoroughly drained
from the radiator and motor, after
which the engine should be run under
its own power until it becomes thor
ougAiy heated. Do not run the motor
too fast but keep it going long enough
to evaporate every particle of water
that may be "pOcketed' to prevent the
water freezing and possibly bursting
the water jackets.
Put Tires in Dark Room.
1t is desirable to remove the tires
and place them in dark room where
they are not subjected to extreme tenn
perature changes. The castings should
be thoroughly cleaned to remove all
OIL which may have adhered to them.
After removing the tires, thoroughly
clean the inside Of the wheel rims and
apply coat Of enamel to prevent rust,
which is very injurious to the fabric
of the tire
If the tires, are not removed, jack
up the car so that the wheels clear the
floor at least two inches, and let the
air out Of the tubes.
Under no circumstances should the
car be stored in barn or other build
ing in which horses or cattle are kept
at the same time. The ammonia fumes
given off will quickly discolor the paint
hp1}1 hox
good roof, and preferably wooden
floor raised several inches from the
ground. All bright metal parts should
be thoroughly coated with slab oil,
vaseline. cosmic or gun grease to pre-
vent rusting.
Care Of Motor.
Remove the spark plugs and pour
into each cylinder about two table
spoonfuls of mixture of equal parts
of lard and kerosene oil. Then turn
the motor over slowly by hand several
times until the cylinder walls and pis-
tons are thoroughly covered with the
oily compound.
To clean the CLOTH upholstery on
sedan bodies, use warm water and
white soap only. Gasoline has ten
dency to spread the grease and le3f'e
"a discolored. spot. After cleaning
wipe dry with clean cloth.
The top Of the car should be thor
>oughly cleaned and all dust brushed
out. Never attempt to clean the top
or curtains with gasoline or kerosene
Use good brush or broom.
If possible the top should be kept
open, which will keep it we'll stretched
and smooth. If this cannot he done,
use care in folding it-see that the
folds are, straight and that none of
the fabric is pinched between the bows
or supports.
Do not fold the top until it is thor
oughly dry, because any moisture re-
naming in the fabric will likely cause
mildew, resulting in an unsightly and
leaky top.
Before storing the car the engine
should be run long enough to thorough
ly charge the storage battery. The
hydrometer should show that the grav-
ity of the electrolyte in each cell is up
to 1880
