Valve Clearance

In many of the older car models no means of adjusting the valve clearance is provided. By slipping one or more fibre of metal disks of sufficient thick ness to take up the excessive play be- tween the bottom of the valve stem and the push rod this trouble may be obviated. A metal retainer cut from sheet metal will keep the dies in place.
 Significance of Dirty Engine
 A dirty engine is the sign of care slightly, it causes trouble in the bear ings, carburetor. distributor and other places. Clean it off with a long handled paint brush, using kerosene, as gasoline is expensive, besides being dangerous.
 Locking Nuts
 In some locations and on some cars even spring washers do not hold the nuts in place for more than a brief period. By pouring molten tar all over the protruding threads of such nuts until they are filled in it will be found that the nuts will be held securely for some time.
 Way to Check Carbureter Trouble
 Many cars have no provision aside from a strainer in the tank for keeping out dirt from the carbureter. Owners of such vehicles will do well to fit a trap in the fuel line. All the big car bureter makers offer these traps, which are to be placed in the line near the carbureter or in the bottom of the tank. The trap catches all the dirt and water, and should be cleaned out regularly once a month.
 Watch the Front Wheels
 The average car owner is quite likely in the desire to give the rear wheels all the attention they need to forget the front wheels. Now the front wheels should receive a careful inspection at least once a month, particularly those of the type fitted with ball bearings of the cup and cone type. The cones wear rapidly because they are subjected to heavy stresses in travel.
 Fuel Economy
 The city owner will tell you that his car shows considerably more fuel con sumption when he drives around city streets than it does when driving is

London, March 27.--Are poets to

here. Robert Burns" she is reported
to have said, "would have been far

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and entirely greaseless),
is much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moIsten you hair with water
and rub it In One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather. and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky. bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsihed cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap. and few ounces Is enough

"The stomach regulates the condition
of the blood and is indeed the fountain

be. Tanlac is intended primarily for
the regulation of this most important
organ, but it is uncommon for persons
who have used it to say that Tanlac re-

DOZEN OMAHA
TEAMS MAY GO
TO PIN M EET
Last-Minute Efforts Indicate
That Omaha Will Be Well
Represented in State
Bowling Tourney.

Omaha may be able to send a
dozen teams to the state bowling
tournament in Fremont next week.
1t all depends on the results of a
last-lninute effort of Myron Stunz
and. Harry Edison to recruit repre-
sentatives from Omaha.
When the state association an
nounced that the annual tourney
would take place early in March in
stead of in April as heretofore, it
brought storm of complaints from
Omaha pin tumblers who were plan
ming on attending the American
Bowling Congress in Peoria durig
March.
L. H. Hammond, president of the
association, explained over the tele-
phone yesterday to Myron Stunz
that the change was made in an at
tempt to accommodate Omahans and
that it was then too late to rectify
the mistake. .-..
Four Omaha teams had already
signed up to roll in the state meet.
They were Rogers Cafe, Sans
MOlOICyClc lHQldllS, oIlldlld L Illll-
ing Co., ard Fairmont Creamery
Co.
Stunz and Harry Edison made a
big effort last night to get other
teams to represent Omaha as the
entries close this afternoon. Before
midnight the following teams were
lined up:
Townsend Gun Co., Scott Tents,
a Union Pacific team, Mccartney
Motors and a pickup team under the
leadership of Bob Bushman. Stunz
said he thought two or three others
would enter before tonight.
Ken Schiple, Jim Jarosh, Bill

ing on, picking up another bowler
and taking part in the tournament.

Ouimet Makes Ten-Foot Put
In Five; Feelings Ruffled
After Good Drive and Iron Has Fine Chance to Hole
Out in Three; Puts Twenty Feet Beyond Hole
First Shot for a Clone Run"
BY FRANCIS OUIMET.

A good golfer finds it difficult to
play the different shots required
without having additional puzzles in
the shape of putting greens or ultra
hazards with which to contend. As
an example, let me take you to the
eighth hole of the Merrimac Valley
Country club at Lawrence, Mass
Many of the best amateurs and
professionals Of the country have
played this course. But the best
record to date is a medal of ~. Sew
eral of the holes are distinctly hard

to accomplish this feat. A mighty
good drive and iron left me with a

above the hole and the green sloped
off at a treacherous angle.

but by the time it had reached the

CENTRAL HIGH
CACERS TRIM
sioux QUINTET
Rough Game Ends in Victory
For Locals; Central
Commits Nine Per-
SonaI Fouls.

Coach Harold Mulligan's Central
High basket ball FIVE trounced the
fast Sioux City High team by a
score of "a to IS last night at the
Y. M. C. A.
Central started the scoring and
kept the lead throughout the entire
session. Leo Konecky started the
Central scoring machine when he
tossed the first goal through the loop
after one minute of play. Clements
added another single count on fou!
on Captain Smith. After another
few minutes of slow play, Konecky
tossed another through the loop for
a pair of counters. On the next paly
Smith, for the visitors, followed suit
and Gagged a neat basket from the
center of the floor. Intercepting of
the ball by both teams featured the
remaining part of the initial period.
Captain Era" Logan shot basket
just as the whistle blew for the half.
TIE period ended with the locals hav-
ing nine scores to the Iowans four.
The visitors came back strong in
the next period and started by Gag
ing a clean basket from the center
of the court. The next play fea-
tured Clements, who tossed a goal
from beneath the loop. Leo Ko-
necky was again fouled for holding.
After few free throws by Captain
Smith, Konecky was sent out of the
game for having four personal fouls.
Close guarding alone accounted
for the even score in the second
half. Konecky tailed six before he
was dismissed. Baskets by Arnson
and Haas netted the visitors four.
Coach Hoyt's men used the long
shot during the entire game but sue
ceeded in chalking up but a few
scores by this method. Central, on
the other hand, tried to bring the ball
beneath the basket and in doing so
lost the ball often. 49,"
Central will not play in the city
this week on account of the annual
state tournament at Lincoln. The
locals will be somewhat handicapped
at the meet on-account of the alb
sence of several of the regulars.

feelings were none too pleasant.
In building courses the object is
to construct the hazards and greens
in such a manner that poor shots
will be penalized. But I can't for
the life of me see why holes of this
sort should be tolerated.
As Vardon has stated this may
seem like amusing golf, but small
dose of it wearies the player who
takes an interest in what happens
to his ball when we'll played.
Once he reaches a green he asks
only for a $3.50 chance with his
opponent because the real skill is
in getting to the greens. He feels
that having accomplished this he
should not be required to solve puz-
zles and tricks that require no skill
but considerable luck in their an
swers.
