Manchester Guardian.

Manchester, Eng, March 5.-Presi- dent Harding indicated in his inaugu- ral address yesterday his willingness to enter some sort of organization which would prevent future wars. says the Manchester Guardian in comment ing on the address.
 '"The political exigency." 1t con- tinues, dictated that the whole plan of the league of nations which MT. Wilson helped to inspire must be stultified in America, even before it could properly be understood. The march of world events and of world aspirations makes it clear that some form of a league must and will com pensate for the horrors of war. What is to be the new American govern ment's attitude toward 1t?
 MT. Harding tells us, and his mes sage is carefully wrapped up in one hope. Through the whole address runs a forceful current of that de- termination to help to make future wars impossible, which led to the foundation of the league of nations"
 The Guardian is of the opinion that while Harding distrusts the league as being in fact an alliance of victors which proposed to do what it likes with the vanQuished, he is WliHHB to Wltn It, DuI VIII HOI commit Americans to any of its plans without their consent. European ma tions,' continues the newspaper. that haven't hesitated to impair their ma tional sovereignty because of the be- lief they have in the good that will ultimately come to the league, will not quarrel over these criticisms and safeguards"
 The newspaper adds that those in Europe who care for the league req lized that if it Is to fulfill its pur- pose it must at the earliest moment widen its membership and eliminate that taunt of being a military alliance or super government. Does Harding for his part feel" the Guardian con- cludes, ''as they do, that the first and most effective step toward that end would be full. friendly counsel and cooperation with America?''

Straight Talk With 5 Parker & l
 ~ A '''Savin' Cuss"

The man with a few dollars in the bank is a eavin' kind or a cuss with little money.
 The man with a few good lots in New Britain is a capi-s, talfst and is right in line to be- come one of our leading weal- .hy citizens. Time was wheu you could start buying lots ii cities like New York, ChicayoY Cleveland, or any other larre4 city with a ten dollar bill. Try 1t now and you would get a{ laugh.
 Real estate values in New Britain have increased 100 nerl cent within the last couple of years. No boom, just a steady. healthy growth. With the in- dustries of our hustling thriving city and the thousands of people required to run them, there is no reason why real estate val- ues should not continue to
 crease even more within IA next few years.
 My conclusion is that we will have a great city of over 8O,OO0 people within the next few years.
 Now is the time to buy realD! estate, buy on payments if you have not much capital, buy ! from Parker & Deming if we can suit you or from. anybo1vs else. but buy! buy! There is a sure fortune in it if you get in now.
 Think this over then come in and let us show you how you can become the owner of a few good lots located at Russwin Heights. Lots from $55o to $1,SO0.
 Talk it over with Parker A Deming.

To Be Successful While

for according to w. ". Peeting and
w. Goblin, the modern version Of q
successful deer hunt is to jump inup
their Dodge sedan with their gune,
a little bacon and coffee, and speed
lily reel on the miles that separate
them from the mountain wilderness
where tradition tells us the deer
abounds.
And the modern idea seems TO be
very successful In bringing home

heavy strain.
"The motor must be removed in
order TO be cleaned. On mostscars
1t is a simple operation to remove
from the brackets, The case should
then be removed and the arrnature
taken out and thoroughly cleaned.
Usually a good washing in gaso-
line will clean the armature Of any
oil that may have seeped in.
The commutator can be cleaned
with fine emery cloth. Brushes
should be cleaned and given q new
face by using q piece of emery cloth
around the commutator, the grit
side out, allowing the brushes to
rest on the emery while the arma-
ture is revolved. ,-s-

miles, the thin layers of mica, used
as Insulation, between the segments
should be cleaned out. A small
scraper can be used to cut a small
groove between the segments. Next

cleaned with gasoline, using care
not to loosen the insulation on the
wires leading to the brushes. II
this insulation is loosened, the wires
should be wrapped with new friction

TT is often noticed that the bear

an extent that the armature scrapes
on the field magnets. This 10 often
the seat of trouble in a slow-pulling
starting motor, and one Of the most
frequent causes of other troubles.
An indication OF worn bearings can
be seen when the armature Is
taken out Of the motor.
in case OF a worn bearing, the
armature will show signs of frIc-
ton at the end nearest the worn
bearing. Unless the old bearing is
replaced at once by a new one, the
insulation from the armature wir-
ing will soon be scraped completely
of. This will probably result in q
burned-out armature.

MOTOR CARS ROAR TO VICTORY:
"AUTO WATERLOO" GROWS DIM
Wins Every Event in Its Class Over Fast Field
At New York.

Establishing a new speed mark
for the Waterloo OF Motorists" and
winning each OF the four events
in which they were entered, Peer
less cars triumphed over a field OF
fast automobiles in the annual
VIckerman's Hill climb at Utica, n.
Y, according to dispatches re-
ceived by the Peerless Motor Car
Company.
In the four events in which they
entered, Peerless cars won four
firsts, three seconds and two
thirds.
Twenty thousand spectators were
thrilled when Ernest P. Robinson
drove the Peerless Green Dragon"
over the. two and two-fifths miles
of stubborn grades and tortuous
grades and shot over the crest Of
the hill in the record-smashing
time of minutes, IL seconds.
From the moment the crowd
gasped as Robinson blazed over the
bridge at the foot of the long hill
and careened around the first turn
at eighty miles an hour. until he
coasted over the finish line at
seventy-eight miles an hour. just
two minutes and twelve seconds
elapsed. And the record for ascend
ing the defiant grade, made by Vern
Vermilyea, when he drove his
Cadillac over 1t in 1884 last year,
had been surpassed. This mark was
also shattered twice by F. r. Win
slows Peerless stock car, and once
by owen Zugner's Peerless stock
car.
Lovers of speed received their
fill of II in the exhibitions given
by the Peerless. In the flying start
events they roared over the bridge
at the foot of the hill at eighty
miles an hour, took the four bad
turns at seventy-five and made the
three dangerous curves at seventy
miles an hour. According to
Stuart Davies. mechanician with
Ernie" Robischon, the Green
Dragon" was making ninety miles
an hour on the level
Davies himself treated the spec
tators to a bit of daring on the
worst turn of the course. The Peer

distance in 1888. The other cars
in this event were three Cadillacs

In the closed car event Wlnslow

Peerless finished third.
In the final feature of the day,

TWO UNITS SHOULD
HAVE INTELLIGENT
CARE, SAYS EXPERT
Demonstration Proves
Efficiency Results From
Proper Attention.
BRUSHES FOULED
Motor Must Be Removed So
That 1t Can Be
Cleaned.

Probably the most neglected
parts of the automobile are the
starting motor and generator. Both
OF these units are vital to the OPP
Grafton of the motor. and should
have Intelligent care" says o. F.
Conrad. in The Maryland Motorist. /"
The importance Of an occasional
overhaul Of the electrical apparatus
Of the car should be realized by
every owner, since actual demon
stration proves the added efficiency
resulting from such attention. Most
owners continue to operate their
cars after the starting motor has
ceased to function proverly, and In
such cases they often lay the blame
for a poorly starting switch. The
real trouble, however, is usually the
commutator Of the motor is cor
roded with oil. or the brushes fouled
or the oil bearings gummed with
graphite or grease to such an ex-
The Washington herald., 1921-10-30

tor bearings are of the self-lubri-
eating or graphite packed type. and
require little attention. The motor
is not in constant operation, and
for this reason the graphite bear
ing has been found most efficient for
this purpose. Where the car is
used for general purposes, and is
not started many times a day, a few
drops of oil every 10000 miles is
usually all that is needed.
Too much oil will tend to carry
the graphite out of the bearing and
cause trouble. The writer has in
mind a case where an owner mis-
took the graphite in the bearing
for collected dirt and cleaned it out
with gasoline and brush. He after
ward wondered why this starting
motor pulled hard and would scarce
ly turn the motor over enough to
start
The same principles apply to the
care OF the generator as to the mo-
tor. In removing the motor from
the bracket. the motorist should ex-
ercise great care to mark the gears
in order to gW the proper mesh
when the motor is replaced on the
bracket. This is especially true
when the timing apparatus is driven
off the generator Shaft. In cars of
this type, the removal Of the motor
should only be attempted by a me-
chanic who thoroughly understands
the work.
Emery cloth of a fne grade can
be used to clean brushes and COM
mutator.
The fields and armature may be
cleaned with gasoline, as in the
case Of the motor. Another pre-
caution to exercise is to see that all
gasoline has evaporated before the
motor or generator Is replaced on
the engine. A small amount of
gasoline left in either may cause a
dangerous IRE. Sparks from the
commutator or brushes will ignite
the gas and cause considerable
damage.
ITO adjust the charging rate on
the generator, the brushes should
be moved up or down, according to
the adjustment to be made. In the
case OF car being used for deliv-
cry purposes, or when frequent
starting and stopping Of the motor
Is necessary, the charging rate, Of
| course, should be higher.
Tn the case Of a car that Is used
for country driving, or on long trips,
the charging rate need be only high
enough to keep the battery fully
charged. Whenever the battery be-
comes overcharged, the headlights
may be burned during the day. An
indication that the battery is re-
ceiving too much current and is be-
ing overcharged is the heat of the
terminals. 1t Is a good policy to
feel the terminals occasionally, IL
you have no other means at hand,
to determine the correct charging,
although nearly every service sta
ton boasts Of a hydrometer.
"A garage overhaul of the cleo
trical apparatus Of your machine
could easily be put on a fat-rate
basis. This operation should con-
sist Of removing the starting mo-
tor and generator, cleaning the arm
ature and fields, polishing the COM
mutator, cleaning the brushes,
scraping between the segments and
replacing generator and motor in
the car.
