SHALLOW OIL PAN is
USEFUL SUBSTITUTE
May Be Used to Take Place of
Wheeled Jack.
Car May Be Swung Around In Small
Garage Where Space for Turning
and ManeuVering Is Limited
Oil Not Good for Tires.

One of those special jacks with
wheels on ii TO enable cars to be ma
neuvered without trouble in close quar-
ters is a handy thing to have, eSpe-
cially in the garage where several cars
are kept, and where it is necessary to
run them pretty close together in order
to get them all in. Such jack merely
raises the front or the back end of
the car, and then the vehicle may be
swung around to the desired point, do
ing away with a great deal of back
ing and turning and wheel twisting
where the car must be worked around
In the desired position under its own
power
But It appears lat a car may be
swung around in emergencies without
the aid of a jack of the kind mentioned
providing one of those shallow oil
pans, such as is often slid under car
to catch any oil or grease drip from
the motor or chassis, is at hand. We
had stored our car in n garage where
the space for turning and maneuvering
was very small indeed, and in the alb
sence of a jack with wheels on 1t, the
garage attendant merely backed the
car into the oil pan, which, by the way,
had a slight film Of oil and greasy ma
terial in it. says writer in an ex-
change With the rear tires standing
on the pan, he merely pushed the car
sideways and the tires slid across the
oiled surface of the pan accomplish
ing the swinging process in a unique
manner e And while it is not advocat-
ed that such a use be habitually made
of the pan since it is none too good
for the tires to get them in oil, never
theless it is kink worth knowing.

LITTLE SCHEME SAVES TIME
Mark Numerous Electric Wires on
Modern Car With Paint of
Different CoIors.

A little dodge that saves much time
on occasion is the marking of the
numerous electric wires on the mod
ern car with different colored paint.
Simply band one wire with red, an
other with green, a third with blue,
etc. In this way when It is necessary
to trace down the various wires to
locate some trouble that has devel-
oped, there is little hardship In con-
Quoting the search.

Many small automobiles are

a shaft-driven gear pump draws oil
from a chamber cast in one piece with
the lower part of the crank case. This
pump discharges the oil through a
copper tube to a sight-feed fitting on
the DASH from which it goes TO the
crank case by gravity.

Adding Another Battery.

When the starting motor for any
reason lacks power to turn over the
crank shaft 1t may be strengthened by
coupling on another storage battery,
connecting 1t in multiple so as not to
Increase the voltage. If the conduct
ing wires are of sufficient size from
the battery to the motor there will be
a considerable gain in power output.

Change in Piping.

change in the piping was made
as shown, the other fittings being un.

cock was placed opposite the dis
charge and an operating rod for it
was run up to the top of the engine.
AS soon as the oil feed stops, it is but
a minutes work to open the petcock,
and allow small quantity Of oil to be
pumped out. When this is then closed,
the oil flows through the discharge

The eagle. according to aeronauts,

FELL OVER FENCE

With the front finger on his right
hand shot away and several shot
lodged in his left eye, Raymond, Lew
is, 10 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs
Walter Lewis, of Wolfsville, was taken
to the Frederick City Hospital Mon
day of last week, following hunting
accident near his home.
The accident occurred early in the
afternoon while Lewis was hunting
rabbits. He had been out for some
time, and as far as could be learned
was returning home, when in climb
ing over fence with the loaded and
cooked shotgun in his hand, his foot
slipped and he fell to the ground, the
gun being discharged when it hit the
earth.
Several of the shot entered the
hunters left eye, while part of the
load tore away the front finger on
his right hand. The young man was
hurried to the Office of DIR. A. ].

were treated. Later it was decided to
take him to the Frederick City Hos
pital. An operation was performed
Tuesday morning, but it is feared that
Lewis will lose the sight of his left

Another year has rolled around and
we are anticipating the Chautauqua.
With the coming of the Chautauqua,
we recall the promise of those people,
to send us a much better programme
for the three days than given last year
"if we signed up at once"
On those conditions the guarantors
signed up for this year.
The programme as given out for
this year does not fulfill the promise.
Last year there were two excellent
numbers-Dr. Bohn the lecturer, and
the play given the last night, at Pays
to Advertise. We have lecture this
year, but the last night we are given
children's stunts. What are we going
to do about it.
They take our money out of the
town, and we have right to expect
them to live up to their contract. The
guarantors are compelled to fulfill
theirs. All we get is the memory of
their entertainments. We could keep
our money in the town and derive
much from it.

NEAR EAST RELIEF

Six thousand acres of the richest
farming land in the historic region OF
Thrace has been rented from the
Greek Government by the Near East
Relief, announces Maryland headquar-
ters, as a homeland for 1000 desti-
tute Armenian refugees, dependent
on American. charity.
Refugees in Constantinople begged
for work and the idea of renting land
from Greece came to the N. E. r. Off
cials. Now everybody in the refugee
camps is clamoring for bit of land
to farm, and those on the farms are
helping in every way. The soil on the
farms is guaranteed by an American
agricultural expert to yield fifteen
bushels of grain, per acre, to one Of
seed and it will take but one season
to pay back with interest all that has
been invested in the plan. American
agricultural machinery is being used,
and will replace the native custom of
tilling the soil with charred stick,
pointed at one end, with the aid of
from three to six span of oxen, and
the farmers half-grown boys. 1t has
been estimated that fully twelve times
the work can be accomplished with
the Americen methods as against the
native. What was attempted by the
Near East Relief as an emergency
measure, says Harold F. Pellegrin,
Maryland State Director, smms likely
to prove Of permanent and lasting
benefit to all people of the Near East.

given of their grain to aid the depend
.nt people in the Near East and now

ber 25, to send food, announces Mary

CATARACT REMOVED

William Zentz, son of Mr.. David G.
Zentz, has just returned from the Bal
timore Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital
where he had been for two weeks.
Mr.. Zentz had had trouble with his
eye for some time but apparently not
sericus. A cataract began to form
and few weeks ago he became blind
in one eye. An examination at the
hospital showed one eye considerably
harder than the other. The eye was
then treated until 1t became softened
enough to operate, when the cataract
was removed. A strong magnet was
applied to the cataract after its resnov-
al and a piece of steel the size of the
head of a pin was found to have been
embedded therein. Mr.. Zentz has no
idea when the steel entered his eye, as
he has no remembrance of at any time
suffering any Inconvenience. The op-
GRAFTON has decidedly relieved his
trouble as he can now see well enough
to get around; with the cid Of , glass
he can read hne print, and In time
expects to have normal use Of his eye.
