Illustration Shows Plan for Arranging
Force-Feed Oiling System at
Small Expense-operated by
One of the Cams.

On an automobile engine which was
oiled by the splash system, 1t was
found that the tube which conducted
the oil from the fywheel to the front
part Of the engine became clogged,
and some burned-out bearings result
ed. To prevent the recurrence of this
accident, a pump was installed in the
oil line and connected to be driven by
the cam shaft. as shown In the sketch.
The upper part of the motor crank
case, on the camshaft side, was drilled
out and tapped opposite one of the
cams. to take a brass tube, which was
threaded with a standaHl pipe thread.
This tube was reamed OUT to a snug
fit for a small piece of shafting, which
formed the plunger Of the pump. An
other piece of tubing was screwed
onto the first at right angles, and to
the ends of 1t, through two ball-check
valves, We're attached the oil tubes
leading to the crank cast and to the
bearings of the engine. These check
valves acted to prevent oil from flow
ing back to the crank case, while per-
hitting it to flow in the proper direc-

DEMAND FOR SAFE ROAOWAYS
Some Kind Of Protection Should Be
Provided to Keep Cars From
Skidding Off Dirt Roads.

What value do we place on a human
life: To judge by some of h roads
Oyer the country it is not much. Lives
are lost many times where a few dol
lars or IA little extra time would make
a road safe enough so that taking a
ride along them on a rainy day in an
auto would not be such a hair-raising
experience as is often the case now.
says a writer in Successful Farmer.
Recently a friend of mine was driv-
ing along a road within a half mile of
a small town and ran into a ditch six
feet deep, upsetting his car and smash
ing things up generally, though he es-
capped unhurt, and had no n with
him. Many complaints had been made
about that road, but nothing was lone
by anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet of the
roadway, and there was not even a
ridge or anything TO ward the wheels
of and keep them from sliding over.

not morally right and should not be
legally right to leave them in a condl-

ing the last two years ! have been
riding around considerably and We
have been in places where it was very
dangerous driving, and often came up
on such places with no chance at all
to avoid them. In one ease we crossed
a bridge after IA light shower, and on
the far side found that it had caved
away TO within six inches OF the road,
though that was solid. For a rod the
ditch was not two feet from the road,
with nothing to check a slide into 1t.
A very steep hill began just beyond
the bridge. Our car could not make
the hill, and we stalled, and had to
back some. The least bit of skidding
would have been certain to have car

LEGION MEN WANT P. M. FIRED
to Government officials Demand
for Use of German.

A resolution requesting the govern
n.ent to relieve Henry c. farms, post
master Of Emerald, Neb., from his Of
flee was passed by Lincoln (Neb.)
Post No. 3 of the American Legion. as
IA result of the pOsimaster's efforts tC
supplant the American language by
the German language in Il church Of
Emerald.
The trouble started when the pastor
of the church invited two Legion mem
bers TO deliver patriotic addresses in
the church. When the speakers ap-
peared, farms objected to their pres
ence and called for IA vote of the con
gregation to decide whether they
should be Ousted. 1t was the will of
the majority that the Legionnaires
should not be heard. After the vote,
the Legion members quietly left the
church.
The pastor, whose invitation to the
Legion men was made in m endeavOr
to cOnciliate the prO-German and
American elements of his church in
their controversy over the use of the
American or German language, then
took the floor and expressed his sur
prise at the urn of events and left
the meeting.
In c~Ommendation of the patience Of
the American Legion members Il Lin
coin newspaper expresses the follow
ing sentiment in its editorial col
umnS
'The policy Of the Legion to send
speakers to address meetings on in
vitatiOn only and TO teach American
ism by example rather than by force,
has everything to commend 1t. The
small groups of unassimilated for~
eigners in this country can readily be
curdled into compact masses by hate.
On the other hand, they can be dis
solved in time by patience and friend
ship. The American Legion is honor
ing the name it bears when it adopts
the latter course"

Thomas Cruise after more than 20
years of persistent search. The mere
fact that lives have been lost, ex-
pensive expeditions outfitted, and
men become crazed by the %privations
endured in such searches indicates
that there is some truth in some OF
the legends of "lost" mines.
Perhaps one of the most interest
ing legends told of lost mines is that
related of "Nigger Diggings," sup
posed to be situated somewhere on
the west side of the Black range,
New Mexico, among tributaries of
the Animas, Arroyo Seco and Palo-
mas, which all head in the Mcknight
canyon. A squad of soldiers while in
pursuit of a ~marauding band of
Indians, found the hill of gold which
caused such excitement. They climb
ed a little eminence, the top of which
they found to be almost pure metal.
Two soldiers, inexperienced in metal
lurgy, supposed the samples to be
pure gold. Ann assay proved them
to be nearly solid copper with a gold
content of nearly $500 a ton. An
effort was made later to find the
mine, but the search proved fruitless.
The greatest similarity of topography
exists in that region-long, forest
covered ranges are said to stretch in
every direction, making the land
scape a sea of green, gently undul-
ating foliage.
The existence of the famous Mig
ger Lode" has been verified by one
mar named Hurste, it is said. Hurste
found shot gold in a gulch and also
a blowout of quartz full of deep fis-
sures. For a considerable time he
made secret fruitless trips out into
the quaking-aspen forest to locate
the lode that he had found and lost
again because of his failure to make
adequate location marks which would
lead him to the bonanza deposit.
One of the most famous lost mines
is the Pegleg. In the minds of min
ers and prospectors in the southwest
ern part of the United States, this
