Good Advice.

To the Tribune it is quite evident
that only q small part of the labor
element of the country is in SYM
pGthy with the extreme attitude
which, to judge by the noise made,
appears to be the position of labor
leaders in general. There is such u
thing as having good advice from the
inside, and reading a lesson to the
extremists from a genuine union man
and this is given by William Noonan
in the Electrical Worker. The time
has come when the worker, as well
as the employer, should look for the
general good of all as more to be de-
sired than the selfish ambitions of
either class. Mr.. Noonan says:
1--WE cannot force the contractors
to pay us more money than they get
out of their contracts. The employer
cannot force us to work for less than
we can live on. The public cannot
afford to pay exorbitant prices for
work done.
"Tilting wages on the one hand re-
suits in fitting prices on the other,
and the mass of people cannot stand
this forever. Capital everywhere is
studiously considering ways and
means to entensify our production
by doing more work in the same time
than we have been doing.
Gone. is the day when we could
think that it was simply a case OF
getting all they could for the least
they had to pay. 1t has new come
to ascondition where both capital and
labor are vitality concerned in the
econ omic disaster which is sure to
overtake our country should condit-
ions continue as they are going"

Much-Needed Moderation.

In all the flood of opinion stirred
by t., Wilson-Lansi1g break, the
calm comment of C;lcnel House
stands out with commanding SINGER
ity. Il do not care 20 make any
comment, since both have been my
friends. l have never had dis
agreeable difference with the Presi-
dent or Mr.. Lansing during the many
years we have worked together, and
both have shown me 1T all times and
in all circumstances much consider
alton and friendship"
This is the broad view, recogniz-
ing tina. in any personal difference,
there is probably something to be
said on both sides, and that nothing
is gained by tanning the flames of
passion. That the disagreement of
the President and his secretary of
state has been seized upon by many
rabid partisans as means for attack
ing the object of their hostility is
regrottable. No great question OF
policy is involved in the resignation
of the secretary, though some would
make it seem so. A personal cleav-
age was brought to an unfortunately
sensational climax. Colonel House
seems to have maintained his equil-
ibrium more commercially than most
of his fellow citizens.
This spirit of tolerance, both of
men and issues, is sorely needed to-
day, when the atmosphere is sur
charged with high tension currents.
There is no better place to begin than
with those who bear the heaviest
responsibilities. -Pittsburg Sun.

How to Steer an Automobile

f1OW TO OtSSF an AuLOHNDS
Steering an automobile is not a
difficult task" says a local dealer.
Perfection comes from conf
dence, not from knowledge. Within
few minutes the novice will have
learned just how much of a move
ment on the steering wheel is re-
quired to turn in the same direc-
ton, and the distractions.
Turning the steering wheel to
the left VII cause the front wheels
to turn in the same direction, and
the car will travel to the left. Turn
ing the steering wheel to the right
causes the car to travel to the right
This applies when backing up as
we'll as when going forward.
Proceed cautiously, preferably
a road that is little frequented, and
VIDE enough to give plenty of room
for your first attempt at automo.
bile driving.
Don't forget that after turning
a corner the front wheels should be
Strengthened" up; otherwise you
will run off the road.

WHAT THE PAPER
THINKS OF AGENT

1t seems that those who have
charge of the "cash box" in Clai-
borne county decided last spring
that they could get along all right
without the county agricultural and
home demonstration agents which
they had employed during the pre-
vious year, so they knocked out
the appropriation.
The editor of the local paper
didn't like it at the time and so the
other day he had a chance to speak
his mind and he did without mine
ing words. We quote the following
from his paper, the Claiborne Prog
ress:
"The county fair, held last Fri
day and Saturday, was not as large
ly attended as on previous occa-
ions. The absence Of farm agent
and a home demonstration in the
county during the year was EVIL
denced by the limited exhibits and
the lack of general interest. The
farm agent, in past years, organ
lied boys corn clubs and pig clubs;
the home demonstration organized
canning clubs, domestic science
classes and otherwise aroused COM
munity PRIDE and friendly rivalry
which brought about productive
results and developed community
effort. In 1919 Claiborne county
as a result of these essentials had
a premium winning exhibit at the
East Tennessee Division fair at
Knoxville. This year the county
was not represented at the Fair.
The county has retrogaded just
that much. Are you proud of it,
or are you ashamed? 1t is hard for
anyone except a moss-back to I'M
derstand why there should be any
opposition to an enterprise calcu-
lated to benefit the farming inter-
ests of the county"
While the promotion and conduct
ing of county fairs is only small
part of the agents activities, this

Cracks in Tires are Sign of Old Age
When numerous small Sits and
cracks appear in tire, it's sign of
the approach of old age. A strange
thing about auto castings in this re-
spect IS their similarity to men and
women. While they don't get gray
haired, they do become wrinkled
and cracked, often chalky white in
appearance.
The fabric in an old tire gradu-
ally becomes brittle and hard so
that it breaks easily. Like the
bones Of old people, it is diff cult
to knit. The tire surgeons work
increases in difficulty with the
age of the casing.
Like individuals, those whose
strength IS conserved do not so
readily show age. The best way to
preserve their usefulness is to take
care of them.
To hide the effects Of age and
wear, motorists frequently "doll
them up" painting the side walls
and washing with cleaning solu-
tions. Others pay no attention to
their appearance and permit them
to go shabby.
Ordinarily the small cracks ap.
pearing on the side walls do little
harm, unless they penetrate through
the rubber covering to the fabric
underneath. 1t is well worth the
motorists attention to have his
castings regularly inspected.
Tires age fastest when lying
around. They are kept in best con-
dit on in actual service. If it is
necessary to store them, they will
retain their life longest in an even
and moderate temperature anc
light.

Testing Gasoline

+ The motorist who wants to test
his gasoline for purity may find the
following suggestion useful. Put
some gasoline in a bottle and add
a little concentrated sulphuric acid.
Shake the bottle well at intervals
for three or four hours. The acid
will form a distinct layer or stra-
tum, drawing into itself all the i'm
purities in the fuel, so that the de-
gree of discoloration found in the
acid will be a measure of the purity
of the gasoline. A useful test to
determine whether gasoline has cor
rosive properties is to drop in the
fluid bit of copper. If the cop
per turns blue or green the assump-
ton s that the gasoline contains
corrosive elements.

Choke Return Spring

When the outside temperature
rises to so degrees or more the
carburetor choke is useful only i'll

used on pedals or brake rods IS at
tached from the choke handle to the

weather this control will return to

Keep The Gar Going

always bring your car to a
"dead" stop before attempting to
back up. Failure to observe this
may result in serious damage to the
transmission and cause unnecessary
expense. With the car at rest and
the gear-shifting lever in neutral,
release the clutch by depressing the
clutch pedal and move the gear
sitting lever forward into the left
fordward position. Now let the
clutch pedal come back easily and
at the same time accelerate the
motor speed by opening the throt-
tie slightly.

How so Preserve Tires in the Winter
Motorists are often concerned
with how to prevent serious deteri-
Grafton of their tires during the
winter months when cars are stored.
The tire surgeon has solved this
problem for them.
When storing the car at the ga
rage have tire surgeon store the
tires at his shop. He first careful
ly inspect and repair them. He will
not only thoroughly clean them, but
will give them a coat of soapstone
or preservative of some kind.
Not only will proper care of your
tires during the long winter months
save you money in lessening the
depreciation, but it will keep them
in first-class condition ready for
the opening of the motoring season.
