Trouble
The most powerful twisting force.
which exists in n motor car IL that
which acts between the ends Of tho
aNle-shafts and the rear wheel hubs
and there IL n constant tendency
toward a loosenins up at these points.
especially since the twisting stress Ia
changed in direction when the car is
reversed or the brakes applied In
semi-nating aples and many of the So
called three quarters floating type, the
axle shaft end ia tapered. the wheel
hub correspondingly tapered. a steel
key or spline liz fitted in tho tapered
portions OF both parts and nut is
provided to force the tapered parts
together. The friction of the tapered
surfaces IL designed to share in re
sisting the twisting stresses. but II is
difficult to fully seat the taper when
assembling the axle and very COM

requires tightening to set" tho taper

The Problem of Effective Chassis

1t is safe prediction to make in
regard to the average car that after a
seasons use, IL any parts are found
badly worn. these will be the spring
pins and eyes. and the pins and BUSH

simply because these parts are con-
water and dust and. having no auto |
matte distribution or lubricant to

ereasing. which they fall In some
measure to receive. Engine and
transmission parts may all be lubri !
cant. which require only occasional
replenishment. while each one of the
spring and steering bearings calls for
frequent special attention, the lack of

ment of looseness and rattle at these

show signs of age from the lack of

one of the pressing problems is how

ceremonies incident to the funeral
of the late Rev. Joseph Frioli. Upon
reaching that city, where a Method

as Father MceKefry stepped from
the train he was warmly welcomed
by a Roanoke man wearing a recep

toward a waiting automobile with
the exclamation. We'll, brother,

ANOTHER COLD WAVE

The fruit belt was hit by another
cold wave last night during which
the Thermometer in the city sank

actual freeze followed a day of cold
weather although not below the
freezing point. There was ice re-
ported this morning although not
heavy in any places; some little
snow fell last night early and there
vas some rain.
Fruit men take hope from the
wind last night which, they say.
always protects the fruit from being
nipped by settling GOODNESS. The
air was also dry, as were the buds,
and the absence of moisture is al
ways taken as favorable sign. Two
weeks ago tonight the section was
visited by a similar cold snap with

done then eliminated the expos

that the Yorks and Rome Beauties,
two varieties not hurt two weeks

just ready for the fertilization; and
it is feared that the cold snap will

Theorlze On Results.
Morgant0Tn, April lin con
nection with the recent freeze that
hit the West Virginia fruit crop
/ hard, it would be interesting to con-
template what would happen if even
fourth of the blossoms on the
average apple tree produced an ap-
pie. There certainly would be some
badly smashed trees. 1t is interest
ing to note that fruit men figure a
full crop il one apple sets out OF
each 16 blossoms Thus even with
half or more OF buds killed. by a
freeze. there still might be a great
tslI
for the heavy yield in the commerce
ial orchards, it being estimated
around G5 per cent.
Reports received from a dozen or
more West Virginia counties show
widely varying results from the
freeze in different sections or the
state. Inc general. the peaches, cher
ries, plums and pears suffered from
rs per cent to total losses, but the
apples were more lucky, varying as
to locality and variety OF apple. One
county reports per cent loss on
Rome Beauty trees but 90 per cent
on Mammoth Black Twig. One
county reports only per cent dam
age but another county reports 80
per cent. One county expects to
have three or four times as many
apples as last year. Two counties
report practically no damage to APP
pies. Another county believes that
| all of the apples have been killed,
too One of the counties from the
great fruit growing section in the
Eastern Panhandle expects this
years crop to be 60 per cent of the
great crop Of last year.
The seriousness OF the damage by
the freeze may have been considera-
bly, overestimated and there is ap-
parently a chance for a fair apple
crop this fall If more cold weather
does not hit the fruit section. Or
chardists are advised by the Uni
versity horticultural specialists to
carefully inspect their own orchards
and carry out their usual spraying
program If even only a few buds
have escaped the freeze.
