Wobbly wheels besides wearing
bearings and otherwise racking
the machine have an equally des-
tructive effect on tire treads. A
slight wobble Of only one degree
actually drags the tire side ways
920 feet in each thousand miles.
This rasping increases with the
seriousness of the trouble. Such
a condition is easily corrected and
saves not only tires but the car
from excessive strain.

BY Cars In Man
churia Campaign


During the world war, while
attention was focused on the
great struggle what was going on
In western Europe, part Of the
campaign was being carried on
by the Japanese army in north
srn Manchuria and Siberia. Much
OF the territory in which fight
ing was going on was far from
the nearest railroad, and che
transportation problem was one
OF the greatest Importance. Sup
plies of all descriptions must oe
delivered TO the fighting forces
without delay or serious interrupt
ton. Officials must be Gu. rled
to and fro. Wounded must be
taken to the rear.
The Japanese authorities solved
the problem in this case, by or
ganizing motor transport ser
vice.
The car selected for service OF
p sh a character must of ncces-
stty be capable Of withstanding
the greatest amount of abuse and
neglect without ceasing to func-
ton. 1t must be easily handled
and be free from all complication.
It must also be capable OF being
easily repaired in case OF mishap
To fulfill these exacting condi-
tiops the Japanese authorities
chose the Buick--encouraged. per
haps, by the performance OF q
fleet Of these cars in the Cob
desert, IN Mongolia, conquest
of impossible conditions that has
become world famous. That their
confidence was not misplaced Ii
shown by the fact that the
Japanese distributor has received
from two different branches OF
the service citations of the cars
used.
The First citation translated
reads

Buick cars were in service OF the

AMERICANS ON RHINE HAPPY.

William G. Shepherd, in Leslie's
 If anyone fears that the Americans on the Rhine are likely to be turned into Germans, if they remain long enough in Coblenz, he has only to take a look over Coblenz. If Coblenz 6oesn't turn American it will be sur rrising. At almost any stated time during the past IS months one-thlrd of the doughboys in Coblenz had German wives, German children--and American households; with Ameri- can papers, American books, Ameri- can news about Big League ball scores, American candy, American chewing gum, and letters and news from the folks in some American homes across the water. l went into the homes of American soldiers in Coblenz, and they were not German homes. The food was American, the talk and the thought were American and the wife and children were | happy.
 At least 4,0oo German girls have emigrated to the United States" said an officer at Coblenz. without ever stepping a foot out of the town" The troops I found at Coblenz this time were very different from the soldiers had seen there two years | before. Those men of two years be- 1 fore had gone to Europe to fight; these men that I saw now had come to Europe to occupy"
 The other men were impatient to y get home: these men want to re- main. They are the happiest, most contented men in the American army, or, perhaps, in any army in the world. And why shouldn't they be happy? In the first place, in military way they know they are doing something.
 The American soldier in Coblenz receives 35 American dollars month. This has brought him as high as $500 marks a month. which is the salary of highly paid bank president If he goes to the army stores to buy food supplies brought from America, it is true that his s35 will not go far. But fresh German candy is bet ter than stale American candy. and 1t costs 40 marks 8 pound instead of hundred. Bread, if he is house holder. will cost him five marks loaf; meat, of good quality, will cost hlm half the price of candy. Butter fresh German butter, not butter im- ported in tins-will cost him 20 marks a pound. Thirty five hundred marks a month, some officers have estimated, is the equivalent of sS,000 year in the United States.
 And the Coblenz doughboys are savers, too.
 But the money lure Is not all. There

 NO, mo-" broke in her brother, "she is a sensitive thing. She wouldn't talk about her toes. Never"
 "Al right. mister, "she retorted. You have seen me at the beach and you know that Annette Kellerman is my notion of modiste for bath ing clothes, but you have never yet seen me when I didn't have on my holeproofs. You never can make me think 1t is cut for girl to squirt sea water, mud and sand between her toes"
 Ut is as much as l can do to turn my toes over to the pedicure in the Turkish bath, and she makes her liv- ing out of 'em.
 You may think it is cute to see Natalie in the newspaper that way, Fred, but I would lay a small bet that if her father saw her playing tennis in that outfit he would break the string of her racket and spank her with it.
 "If Natalie's dowager mother ever caught her husband at a smoker watching professional dancer do that serpentine stuff which Natalie does and doing it in the same lack of costume which Natalie effects, she would take her hubby by the ear and lead him away from the shameless hussy.
 The difference between shame less hussy and a dancer, who dances for arts sake is that one of 'em does it to make 8 living and the other to make 8 sensation.
 T may resort to stealing the jit- neys out of a blind beggar's cup, l may crack the aims box of a church, I may shoot a masher on a street corner or some simple misdeameanor of that sort, to get my face in the sensation page of the Sunday morn ing papers, but rest calm, family, rest calm, for I will never arrive there by dressing in a motor veil and standing on the head of thistle in the green grass"
 You are jealous of Natalies fig ure," taunted her brother.

 Here is a dandy picture of my sweetie in her nightie." He passed around picture of Natalie Thurman posed on the greensward in one of the figures of an interpretive dance.

 l Pops, here is where you and join hands on one proposition" said the Flapper heartily l Any time you catch me out in the grass stamping on the crickets with my bare tootsies you can send me to the chronological ward of any To- cal hospital and any time you see me acquiring splinters doing one of those esthetic and athletic dances on a | floor you can fan me with 9 slip l per.
 "The thing that gets me is why they call this barefoot dancing. Why they should emphasize the fact that | her feet are bare I can't understand. In that picture Natalie hasn't enough clothing on to speak of You could stuff her entire costume into a pie ! colo and not interfere with the music. "I want to tell you, Father, that there are just few things no really nice girl has and one of em is toes. You've seen a lot of babies trying to stuff their toes in their mouths but not after they get big enough to l look at 'em.
 'If I were a man, engaged to a woman, or sweet on her like Fred is on Natalie, and she showed me her toes I would throw down my hat walk back to the bench and forfeit 1 the game.
 "Toes are not nice to look at. They remind you of bunion plasters and corns.

EUGENIA.
 From ''rhe Island of Eugenia: The
 Phantasy of Foolish Philosopher"
 by William McDougall In Scrib-
 ner's.
 ST begin then by stpting the principles on which Eugenia is to he founded. Civilizations decay beca lse they die off at the top; because, as they become increasingly complex they cease to produce in sufficient numbers men and women of the moral and intellectual caliber need ed for their support. So long as a nation produces in each generation fair number of persons of first-rate caliber. it can carry an enormous tail, without fatal decline. But the num- Der of such persons tends to become not only relatively but absolutely fewer with each generation; because civilized societies breed from the bot tom and die off at the top. I don't stop to substantiate this generaliza- tion. The evidence on which it is based is overwhelming. Instead, I will prescribe you a course of read ing which will convince you of it's lstruth
 The supply of persons of first-rate caliber can only be maintained by the fruitful mating of persons of supe-
 
 highly civilized societies such per sons tend to be absolutely or rsla- lively infertile. Eugenla is scheme for bringing persons of such strains together in fertile unions which will give to the world an increasing rum- Der of persons of similar caliber. P.-Then you are going to 'nsti- tute the human stud-farm Ia Plaro. 1 Seeing that his scheme has been be- fore the world more than 2000 wears, why trouble to advocate it once more?
 S.-Not so fast. Platos scheme in volved the destruction of the family the denial of conjugal affection and parental responsibility. No scheme which ignores the strongest tenden- cies of human nature can hope to succeed Eugenia will avoid this fun damental error. It will be founded on the cult of the family. Its relig- ion will be something like ancestor worship. tempered by reverence for the progeny and a great faith in their value to mankind. It is to be a place in which persons of superior strains shall come together in marriage and. under ideal conditions. produce the largest number of children compar- able with the perfect strength and health of all concerned
