while you are bouncing around like a
rubber ball. Now to oil such a spring
merely intensiles all thie. You do not
need the exercise acquired by the oiling
process. You will get all you need rid
ing N the car without 1t. Such spring
needs friction between the leaves rather
than fabrication. Friction slows the
motion of the springs and steadies the
car. Now almost every one will tell
you that friction between the leaves
makes the car ride hard Probably the
first time you heard any ono say this
and thought your car was not partlcu-
larly easy, you oiled the springs and
went from the frying pan into the fire.
However this complaint is not as
general as that where the springs, ut
terly neglected and rusted together,
have lost large part OF their resiliency,
so that the car rides more or less like
a farm wagon. In such a case lubricat-
ing the spring leaves is the greatest
little first aid to comfort you ever saw.

another spring leaf will not do much

devices which correct this evil. The
proper Device however Is one which is
applied to the center OF the spring.
Springs. OF course, are designed to
produce car comfort. Time was when
the vehicle had no springs and the
slightest uneyenness of the highway
was apparent to the passenger. When
people began to ride around for pleas
ure, they devised means Of lessening
these road shocks, and the elliptic
springs, side bars. and other means
were devised. Tho high speed of the
automobile makes il necessary that the
spring suspension should be very accu-
rately designed. AS matter Of fact,
there are a good many cushions be-

to absorb road shocks. but since II

designs OF springs are used for sus-

Riding In some automobiles brings

kinds, those with springs that are too
stiff and those with springs that are too
soft, and / do not know which is the
more uncomfortable. Both, under some
conditions. Here and there, of course,
there is a car with springs that really
spring without springing the occupants
of the car against the top.
Automobile instruction books, car ex-
perts and all the wiseacres of the fra
ternity advise you to lubricate the
springs regularly. II the springs need

springs are too soft and spring too

roads, would make the driver and all
his passengers feel that they had hit

correct. but when II comes to practical
usage no two sets of springs require the

in paper which she read today in

greater part OF the day. The normal
life is not gained by too little or no
exercises. and too much food. SO
many women sit down to grow old.
They welcome old age long before
they have any right to. Some of the
medical textbooks tell us that at 90
old age has been reached, but
refuse to admit that. DO all women

grow heavy about the waist line,
