ATTACHMENT AIDS CAR
START IN COLD WEATHER

An attachment by which the mo.
torist may facilitate starting in cold
weather and also free his cylinders
or carbon is described in the January
issued OF MOTOR .- .
Two sight feed oil cups are Joined
by tees to a pipe which is inserted in
the intake manifold. The other end
of the pipe terminates in a petcock.
The operating handles OF the sight
feed glasses are. controlled by push
snd-pull wires from the dash. and
when 1t is desired to prime the motor,
one OF the sight feed glasses, which
has previously been filled with high
test gasoline. is turned on, and the
fuel flows into the pipe. A third wire
controls the petcook, which is opened
simultaneously, and the suction of
the revolving motor draws in air
which carries the high test gas into
the cylinders.

LOOSE SPRINGS CAUSE
RATTLE OF AUTOMOBILE

Wear takes place in the spring
mountings because the parts are too
small for their work and because
there is no proper means for lubrI-
eating therl. The movement III n
spring bolt is almost continuous, but
il rocks to apd. fro over d very small
are. Hence when either grease or
oil Is forced II II very soon rubs
off the heavily loaded sid2 of the
bolt, and, theIe baing insufficient

the parts which ara really. doing all
the work may be- quite dry even
when there is olsnty 10 lubricant

1t does no good.
To cure this there are two pos

they are better able to support the
load and so that the pressure will
not so rapidly drive out the lubri-
cant; the other and better way is to
arrange for a constant small supply
OF oil from reservoir or magazine
that will Ionly need refilling once or
twice a year. A system of this sort
is being used on a number of com
mercial trucks today. Incorporated
with each spring bracket Is a little
box holding few ounces OF oil.
and from this box wicks lead the oil
through the bolts directly to tho

PLEASURE STAGE PASSED.

The great mistake that the man
who does not own a motor vehicle
makes in calculating the benefits of
good roads, is that he sums them UP
as amusement perquisites OF the car
owning class, He sees his neighbors

figures probably: 81 help pay for

When the country. In the opinion
OF competent observers. was not

not bother to make any preparations
because the funeral never takes
place as advertised.

Slidell, La, Nov. %, 1921.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Your suggestion that the Slidell
and Folsom community fairs be held
in advance Of the parish fair, is a
most excellent one. By all coop
Grating, the success of all can be
made greater.
AS you may have heard, Slidell
has just had small affair In the
fair line. Ask your fellow citizens,
Kentzel, Frederick, Seller, Galatas,
Minckler and Blossman how they
liked our showing. I am sure all
will tell you the half had not been
told to them.
Take it all in all, feel that our
little fair will compare favorably
with some that have had more ex-
perienced management and more
time for development. It all re-
minds me of those good old days
when I was a member of the Parish
School Board, and the school spirit
was better in Covington and Slideli
than now manifest.
There is talk Of greater things for
the next and future years, and If |
know our people, and think do,
there will be good results from our
recent experience. We can now see
where many improvements can be
made, and can profit from the past.
Much, if not all the credit for our
success is due to the women VINO
cant be beat for team work.
Hooray! Watch Slide1l about next
October.
