|'BEHIND THE DOOR" IS THRILLING STORY:
 LAST TIME TONIGHT

Behind the Door," adapted from Gouyerneur Morris thrilling novel which appeared in "Collier's," has all the elements of powerful drama@-love, adventure, great wrong, pursuit, and vengeance, shrouded i'll mystery there, behind the door"-a mystery and q vengeance that left strong men trembling.
 The story, one of the most sensa- tionaI, vivid and daring that has ever been printed. The cast-well, Hobart Bosworth, of Sea Wolf" fame plays the leading role, and the splendid supporting cast includes Jane Novak, Wallace Beery, James Gordon, Dick Vain, J. P.

versal military training, undoubtedly lies in a big national guard.
 It is of course out of the question for the United States to maintain a regular army of 1,OO6,OOO men, because 1t would cost too much At least l. 0OO,0OO trained men are needed to assure the safety from invasion of the United States in the next war, ac- cording to members of the military committees of house and senate, and of officials at the war department. The only way to have such a force is to organize a national guard of that size.
 In the Harding administration, with certain changes that will certainly be made in offices and officials at the war department, a great effort will be made to quickly build up new and a big national guard that will be cred it to this republic.
 The national guard deserves well of the country and the people for 1t made a glorious record in France. Every young man who periodically desires to prepare himself to fight for his country in event of another war should join the new national guard, and at least learn the rudiments of soldering, declare members of con gress who are Investigating the status of the guard.

For some time past the news has been coming to town that Etta Mo- Gowan is on the paystreaK in Texas, where Henry Riley is doing great oil producing and promoting, says the Fairbanks News Miner. Last mail we received letter from her which told us that she was simply sticking around Breckenridge, Texas, until her bankroll reached the $100,000 mark, and paper received OH Tuesday nights mail the Breckenridge Daily American, mention Mrs. McGowan as follows:
 Mrs. T. A. McGowan, Mrs. Henry Riley and Mrs. Scott of the Stephens hotel returned last night from the Riley properties in the Elitsville Pool, where they were during the day to see the Johnson 5 of the Riley Group of wells drilled in. A great rush of gas attended the drilling and caused a cave which bridged the hole. and the latter is being cleaned today. Indications are excellent for a good well.''

CLEAN DEPOSITS
FROM OIL BASE
Sediment and Muck Accumulate
Much Faster Than the Car
Owner Ever lmagines.
NASTY BUT NECESSARY Job
Small Jumps Of Carbon From Cylin-
ders, Sand From Road and Metal
Turnings Have Been Found /
Give Engine Needed Care.

By WILLIAM II. STEWART, JR, Pres
ident Of the Stewart Automobile
SchooL)
What world Of trouble you are
storing up for yourself If you do not
drop the oil base and clean it. Sedi-
ment and muck accumulate faster than
you think and sooner or later you will
have ruined engine on your hands.
It is not sufficient to change the oil
regularly, as advised by the manufac-
turer. The oil base should be taken
down and the deposits removed occa-
sionally.
Nature Of Accommodations.
The first time you do this you will
be surprised at the nature Of the &C
cumulations. Small Jumps of carbon
from the cylinders, sand from the road.
even particles Of metal turnings left
there when you car came from the
factory, have all been found In the
oil base. But worst Of all is the thick
muck of burnt oil and carbon which
covers the bottom and sides. The grit
and other particles are heavy and sink
to the bottom, but the muck remains
even after the base is drained Of the
old oil.
The advice usually given to the mo-
torist may be summed up as follows:
"Drain out all the old oil, replace the
plug and fill to the usual level with
kerosene. Run the engine not more
than 80 seconds, and then drain the
oil base. Repeat If thought necessary.
This stirs up the muck and sediment,
which runs out with the kerosene. In
this way the base and bearings are
cleaned with a minimum of effort and
without removing the crank case."
Grit SpIashed Around.
"Stir it up!" Indeed, the grit
which should lie dormant until scraped
out by hand is stirred up and splashed
all around the crank case and also
carried into the bearings. 1t forms a
fine grinding compound, which either
shortens the life of the bearings or
clogs up the oil holes, causing the bear
ings to run dry. The result Is even
worse if the oiling system Is one OF
the present type forcing oil through
hollow crank-shaft directly into the
bearings. Right into the bearings,
mind youl and under pressure, too!
Can anyone defend this method after

OF CAR SPRINGS
Cleveland Auto School Head
Thinks Neglect Is Often the
Cause of BreakdoWns.
EASY WAY OF LuBRICATlON
Put Lifting Jack Under Body Of Car
and Spring Leaves Are Separated
by Means of Small Tool
Prolonqs Life of Car.

The reason you feel completely tired
out after a days ride in one car-or
on the other hand, thoroughly re-
freshed after similar trip over prac-
tically the same road in another car, Is
due to q difference in the action Of
the springs Of the two cars, says Clyde
FL. Pratt, president Of the Cleveland
Automobile School company.
The most important part Of the cars
mechanical construction as far as the
riding qualities are concerned Is the
springs. IF the reader will take the
trouble to look at the springs Of vari-
GUS cars he Tor she) will note that
there are a number Of general types Of
springs. These may be classed under
various names, among them full-ell1p-
tic, semi-elliptic, three-quarter elliptic,
cantilever and platform springs being
the most common.
How Springs Are Made.
All springs, regardless Of their type,
are made up Of a number Of separate
layers Of fiat pieces Of spring steel
placed one above the other, short
pieces being in the middle and the
longer ones extending through to the
eyes Of the spring. The spring is con-
nected to the frame by means Of a
spring shackle which Is fastened to the
end Of the spring by a spring bolt
through the eye.
By watching the springs carefully
when someone else Is lettering the car
up and down you will notice that these
separate leaves slide on each other In
stead Of simply bending as most peo-
pie suppose. In order to keep the
vibration Of the axle from being trans
mitted to the body Of the car it Is nee
essary to see that the spring leaves
slide easily on each other, and in order
for them to do this there must be a
film of oil between the separate leaves
through their entire length.
Without this Oil film these springs
cannot slide without excessive friction,
which means that they will not bend
properly and the spring action instead
of being smooth will be stiff and jerky,
with the result that the car will ride
hard and the springs are more liable
to break. In fact, most of the broken
springs can be traced to a lack of
proper fabrication of the spring leaves.
Easy Way to Oil.
An easy way to oil these Is to put a
lifting jack under the body of the car,
so that the weight will be taken off the
springs. The spring leaves are then
easily separated by means Of a screw
driver or a small chisel and little
graphite In Oil is easily inserted.
Graphite is usually used with the oil
in the spring leaves, because the graph
lite does not work out as quickly as the
Oil alone would.
Many Spring Oilers.
There are many different kinds OF
spring oilers on the market. Some Of
these are good and others are good
only because the spring needs oiling
and these help to call your attention
to 1t. The spring bolts must also be
oiled practically every day or they
soon wear so the springs work hard
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1920-03-20

realizing what this means? 1t is not
q sufficient answer to say that the oil
must pass through strainer.
SO although 1t Is dirty job and
disagreeable one to remove the crank
case for proper cleaning, 1t is the only
way to give your engine the care 1t
really needs.

Our faulty distribution Of food
stuffs and other necessaries Of life is
responsible to a considerable degree
for high prices to consumers. Official
investigations show that it costs as
much to deliver farm products from
railroad terminals at New York to city
consumers as to ship them by rail
from points as distant as Buffalo, or
to deliver a ton Of coal in Chicago
as to ship it from the mines In south
ern Illinois.
High Cost Of Hauling.
On the other hand the cost Of haul
ing products from the farm to the
shipping points and to take manu-
fsetured goods bach to the farm Is
double or triple what it need be. These
transportation costs at both ends Of
the rail haul must be added to the
prices charged for farm and factory
products and the consumer pays the
freight"
Rail and water haul are the cheap
est forms Of transportation and there
Is no prospect Of any substantial re-
duction Of freight charges. The only
possibility Of lowering the cost of
transportation materially lies in the

NEGLECT OF OWNERS
WILL INJURE AUTOS
Proper fabrication Is Of Utmost
Importance.
Drivers Gradually Form Habit OF Do
Ing Everything on High Speed In
Shifting Gears-lnspect
Car Every Week.

There are many ways In which
car may be unintentionally mistreat-
ed. Just as there are many ways in
which ones own health may be vio-
lated to the injury Of ones system
The first point is quite familiar to
most motorists, and that is the ques-
ton of proper fabrication. Still every
dealer knows that cars continue to be
brought in with bearings burned out,
king bolts badly worn and other parts
Of the car in more or less damaged con-
dition from under-lubrication. Oil
should not be used too long, because
after time 1t loses much of its lubri-
eating qualities. This Is an especially
important item to watch now, because
good lubricating oil is not always avail
able at all filling stations.
Another point is the shifting Of
gears and the use Of gears in hard
pulling. It should be borne in mind
that all motors have excess power be-
cause of the extent to which the valve
in-head principle Of design has been de-
veloped, and because Of this surplus
power drivers, as a class, gradually
form the habit of not shifting to lower
speeds, but do everything on high.
After a time they gradually grow
to hate the idea of dropping to lower
speeds, as if it were q reflection on the
car or on the drivers ability. This is
a condition that should not exist.
These same ideas apply to practi-
cally all of the little things that may
happen to motor cars in general serv-
ice. A weekly inspection will do
great deal toward getting the utmost

servtceability out OF a car. The own
er who does not have time or inclina-
ton to attend to these things himself
will do well to see that they are done
by some one who is thoroughly COM
petent. They do not take much time,
and the man who is mechanically In
,clined will derive much pleasure in
becoming more familiar with the vari-
GUS working units of his car.
A good motor car responds wonder
fully to good treatment, not only from
the standpoint Of satisfaction, but
also from that Of giving the owner the
full amount Of transportation that has
been built into his car.

sibilities in savings In this direction.
Careful Investigation by the depart
ment Of agriculture last year show
that haulage from farms to shipping
points costs less than half as much
by motor truck as by horse and wagon.
even under present conditions Of the
highways. Thus, the average cost Of
hauling wheat by wagon was 30 cents
ton for each mile, while the cost
with motor trucks was only Is centss

Even these comparatively low rates
for hauling with motor trucks can
