The corporal, Wallis said, was

The incidents occurred in 1918 at
Camp Wheeler, where Wallis was
stationed with the 31st Division. He
also served with the 5th Georgia
regiment on the Mexican border. He
is now a rehabilitation student at
the University of Georgia and is
drawing compensation for disability
which prevented his going overseas.
Wallis spoke with feeling of the

that he would gladly pay his own

before the Senate investigating COM

CARE OF SPRING

Improper Adjustment Of Brakes,
, Carele Driving and Under
nnlat n Are Bad.
lUDRICATI0N IS NECESSARY
Oil or Graphite Between Leaves viii
Enable Springs to Take Up Shocks
Of Road and Prevent Rseking
Of Parts.

There Is very close relationship
between proper care Of the springs In
an automobile and the mileage which
the motorist receives from his tires.
Properly adjusted, well fabricated
springs Will mean longer life TO tires
and TO the entire car, while cracked
or neglected springs will cause rapid
deterioration of engine, body and tires.
Many motorists believe that IL they
make cursory examination of the
tread and outer sidewalks of tire
they are taking ample precautions
against undue wear and tire trouble.
Yet there are many other things to
which the average driver pays little
attention which have a direct bearing
on the service he gets from his tires.
Harmful to Tires.
Improperly adjusted brakes, care
less driving, overlooking. underinfia-
ton and, last but not least, bad
springs will all strip dollars Off the
tires every time the car Is driven.
Springs are placed In car not only
to make II more comfortable to ride
In, but also to take up major part
of the road shocks and prevent rack
Ing of the various parts. When there
Is a shock, such as comes when a
wheel hits rough spot in the road,
the tires get 1t first. Then follow
shocks to the wheels, axle, body, oc-
cupants and motor, with the springs
in between to take up as much as pos
sible.
Springs Need lubrieation.
When the springs fail to function
all the shock has to be taken
up through the tires. both In the ini-
tial shock and In the natural rebound.
fabrication of the springs is not
difficult, and labor expended In this
task will pay big returns. One of the
best methods is dismantling the
springs and lubricating them with
graphite grease. First remove all the
rust with an emery cloth. Another
method Is to lift the body of the car
on jacks. and open the springs with a
cold chisel inserted between each leaf.
squirting oil and greases In freely.
simpler method is to take an oil
can and run II along the depressions
In the springs, allowing the OF, to flow
,ut freely, and then rocking the car
TO open and close the leaves. working
hem back and forth. permitting the
oil to work well back under each leaf.
