LESS THAN YEAR
USED i'm RETURN
FROM WAR WORK
Automobile Factory Reverts to
Quantity Production in
Remarkable Time.

The fact that in less than 4 year
after the signing Of the armistice,
the Willys-Overland company OF
Toledo, O., which had completed AZ
per cent Of $80,0OO000 of war con-
tracts. was able to get into guam
tity production of Overland -Four"
cars, entirely new models from the
ground up, and that in the same
period the company went also into
production on the new WHY'S
Knight cars, is regarded in automo-
bile circles as one of the great
achievements in the industry.
Only WHY'S Overland's command
of raw materials: its command OF
markets and the efficiency and
elasticity Of its organization enabled
it to accomplish this transformation.
Usually it requires a full year or
more for an automobile company,
however we'll equipped, to get un-
der way with new model. Even
then the manufacturer generally has
the advantage of being able to use
many of the dies and tools of pre-
vious models, or he is able, with
very slight changes, to incorporate
in the new model some former parts,
such as axles, steering gears, and
the like.
But Overland -Four" is a new
car from the ground up. Parts from
former models could not be used.
This meant complete new equip
ment. 1t became necessary to make
and install 5000 special dies and
tools to takes care Of the 10000 OPP
erations on the Overland -Four"
alone.
Yet. in August, 1919, Overland
-Four" was in quantity production.
1t had been designed two years be-
fore and in that time. since war de-
layed its production, it was under
constant test for refinement OF de-
tails in construction,

Take Cover Off

Don't forget to remove the cover
from the front of the radiator when
there is a thaw1 or the weather gets
mild for few days after being quite
cold. When the temperature is away
down it is of course very wise to
partially--if not fully-cover the
front Of the radiator to prevent the
bitter cold air from getting into the
engine compartment and to make
the engine too cold for proper oper-
alton. But having adjusted matters
for such days, remember that when
the warmer spells arrive the shutting
out Of the air may be too complete.
And you will cause the powerplant to
ioyerheat, often with serious results.
The point is that the car driver must
use discretion in controlling. the ra-
diator's cooling, and on the days
when he feels warm he should not
expect the engine to take q different
view of the mattcr.-Motor Life.

Gas 81 Per

The Cadillac representative in
Spain, on a visit to America some
time ago revealed most peculiar
condition in that country. Some Of
the finest highways in the world and
generally excellent road system
exist in Spain, he says. but the cost
of gasoline has receded but little
since the signing of the arrnistice.
During the war gasoline was 81
gallon and today the best price at
which one can buy it is ST.
Another peculiar fact about Spain
is that although there is a popula-
ton Of 20,0O0,000 people, there are
only 1000 cars.-Motor Life.

How TO Sell Lamb Cuts.

The extent to which the public's
habit in meat eating may be intiuenc-
ed by local butchers is illustrated by
information received by the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Fair dealing and good service are the
basis by which the sale Of lamb car
casses in one locality has been in
creased four to five times within a
few years. Following are the polic-
les responsible for the noteworthy In
crease:
Selling only lamb-neither NUT
ton nor goat meat-when customers
ask for lamb.
Selling mutton as mutton tinstead
Of as lamb, thus enabling custom
ers to make comparisons.
Making special sales Of "a good
string of fat lambs" at reduced pric-
es, but not with reduced quality.
In the hands Of local butchers
largely rests changes in the meat
eating habits OF the public the infor-
nation indicates considering the
health Of sheep and the nutrttiye
value OF meat. a much greater pro
portion OF mutton and lamb might
be consumed than at the present
time.

Bird Population Increasing.

The beneficial effects of the MI
gratory bird treaty act are beginning
to be felt. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture, through
its Bureau OF Biological Survey. has
conducted il yestigations of the breed
ing areas Ct ducks in North Dakota
and Nebraska. Compared with for
mer years, a gratifying increase of
breeding waterfowl, particularly in
North Dakota, is evident. The fifth
annual series of counts Of birds OF
all species breeding on selected ar
cas- in various parts Of the United
States contained a large proportion
of reports showing increases in bird
population. The total number Of re-
ports received, however, was not
large. Many Of the persons who had
formerly taken part in the annual
bird counts were unable, because Of
extra duties assumed during the war,
to find time for the work required
by the fifth count.
Many species of migratory BIRDS"
reports the chief of the Bureau of
Biological Survey, have had a mar
ked increase under the existing trea-
ty act. Waterfowl formerly driven
to the far North by spring shooting
have remained in steadily increasing
numbers to breed in localities where
none had previously nested for
many years"

Many Desperadoes Hunted Down

You will hardly think of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
as an agency for hunting down des-
p%eradoes. but it is. That the desper-
ADDE'S happen to be not men but
wild animals does not detract either
from the adventure or the value of
the work. Now and then a wild ami
NAL becomes notorious for its ex-
PLOTS in killing live stock. The in
spectors of the Bureau of Biological
Survey make special efforts to hunt
down and kill such animals. A noun
tain lion that was known to have des-
troyed $1,000 worth of live stock in
one month was killed near Dubois,
Wyo., a few months ago. That the
animal had eluded many private hun
tiers was shown by the number Of
scars on the body. Another noun
tain lion taken in April had killed
seven colts during the spring. In
the same State a pair of wolves that
had destroyed $4,000 worth of live
stock was killed, the female by a
Government hunter and the male by
a private hunter. A ranch owner
near MERTON, Tex, reported that
within three months he had lost $40
sheep, valued at $4,000, as the re-
suit of the depredations of six coyo-
ties. Government hunters in July,
captured all six of the beasts.
But not all of the bad beasts hayo
been disposed of. About 80 verg
cunning wolves still coam the ranges
OF New Mexico, causing annual losses
10 live stock amounting to about
$4,000 each. When the departments
campaign for dest, uction of predl-
tory animals began, however, there
were between 500 and 400 wolves in
the State. The small number re-
naming, though made up of the
most cunning and destructive indi-
viduals of the packs, is being steadily
reduced, in spite of the fact that the
stock of wolves in that State is con-
stantly recruited by stragglers from
the mountains of northern Chihua-
hua, Mexico.

Running Foris i'm Cold Weather
Ford operators can save ulam-
selves considerable trouble during
this cold weather If taey give prop
er attention To tle Ford clutch, said
Geo. W. MuIhouaud, Special Agent
Tor the standard OIL Company in dis
cu5slng cold weather fabrication.
Many Ford operators complain
that when tue engine Is cold 1t is
lard 10 crank and a az has a ten-
dency to creep forward while crank
ing.
To eliminate as much as possible
this cause Tor complaint they should
urst make sure that the clutch
tnrowout lever IS adjusted SO that,
with the hand brake lever set, the
clutch is fully d~isengaged. As
this relieves the steel discs in the
clutch Of all pressure from the
clutch spring, it should permit suf-
ucient separation OF the driving from
the driven discs to allow them to
turn freely on each other. This
is necessary because the driving
discs are connected to the engine
ankshaft and the driven discs d 4
Q reYolye without turning the rear
wheels. But if the lubricating oil
used is of too heavy body, the discs
will still have a tendency to STICK
together and make cranking difficult.
In the Ford power plant the
clutch is combined with the engine
and fabricated from the supply OF
oil in the crankcase. II the Oil IN
use has a Zero Gold Test 1t helps
considerably to eliminate the hard
cranking andr creeping car COM
plants and gives correct lubricat-
ton to the engine, the clutch and the
transmission"
