All Show Play in System.

Every car shows IL certain amount
of play in the steering system. that is
the steering wheel can be turned "A
little before the front wheels move.
There should be some play hut not as
much as the average car has.
Play develops naturally. due to
wear of all parts, hut II also develops
more rapidly because owners have Il
habit Of turning the wheel when the
ear is standing. This puts an added
strain on the rubbing parts of the
steering system. and wear is more
rapid
When wear does occur IL should be
compensated for by adjustment ut the
right place. Sometimes the hail Joints

| knuckle pins or the tie-rod connec-
lions. or the gears In the post. Do not
adjust the gears In the post when the
ball Joints or other parts are at fault.

and pulling and pushing them. A lit

i follow it in shade, between the trees,
Close by its edge there bloom the
small sweet things
That have made beautiful a thousand
springs;
Hepaticas, and wood anemones,
And violets, and wee ferns half un-
rolled,
Like hopes scarce spoken, promises
half told
And l am ever moving toward the
sun!
Where the path turns there futtered
out of view
A little child, and after her she drew
The beauty of the Morning just be-
gun:
A little Sunrise Child, glad, pure, and
j. sweet
Hands full of flowers, and dew upon
!. her feet.
And as the old world turns / know
that she
Is ever with the Morning! In her halr
The CLINT of sunshine woven fine and
fair;
The breeze to watt her laughter hap,
PLY.
IT'S mine to follow where the shade
is SPREAD;
Where springtide walked the posies
meath her tread.
Afar, between the trees that arch the
way
Her little dancing form l seem to
Her smile shines out across the wood
land space,
A sunbeam-let perchance my foot
step stray.
Then, though the path reach on,
walk content;
1t leads into. the Morning, where she
went!

MAY McAVOY TRIUMPHS

Picture lovers will find real treat

May McAvoy, lately elevated to star
dom by Realart Pictures, is coming to
the opera house Wednesday.
May McAvoy has won her spurs be-
cause of an ability to gain from role
its last modicum of heart interest;
because of a face that is marvelously
expressive, and a personality which
is at all times simple and natural. In
fact, perhaps the incest thing ever
said about this little miss is that "one
does not think of the actress at work
but of real girl and her trials and
trbulations as revealed on the
screen"
