BRAKE RODS REQUIRE
CAREFUL ATTENTION
Majority of Automobile Owners
Neglect Them.
Inspection Should Be Made at Least
Every Month From Pedal to Drum,
Particularly Parts Difficult
to Get At.

The brakes OF an automobile are
designed for efficiency and long life
If given proper attention, but because
1t is inconvenient to clean and inspect
and lubricate them, the majority of
auto owners utterly neglect them.
Every month or two there should
be an inspection of the brakes from
pedal to drum. particularly the parts
that are out Of sight under the car
and difficult to get ut, according to
IL. Clifford Brokaw, of West side Y.
M. Q. A. auto schools, New York city.
They should be cleaned Of mud and
gummed grease with kerosene. oil
holes should be opened up thoroughly
and every part inspected for wear
Small parts which are worn may he
replaced for a few cents and this
may prevent n serious accident caused
by the brakes giving nway Mt II crit
ical time. The brake llnkage should
be fabricated in accordance with the
fabrication chart of the car with per-
slstent regularity. Brakes will work
easier, and give better service II they
are taken care of. Likewise they
should be kept adjusted so that they
work with equal force upon each
wheel. Uneven adjustment produces
undue wear on tires and is a frequent
cause of skidding. The adjustment is
so simple there is no excuse for neg
lecting this.

PLAN FOR LAPPING PIST0NS
OF Many Substances Used In Opera
ton Rotten Stone Has Been Found
Most Satisfactory.

Many substances are used in the
operation Of tapping pistons. Among
them are fine emery dust, ground glass
and rotten stone, of which the latter
gives best results. When the glass is
used there is always a possibility that
particles OF 1t will become i'm
bedded in piston or cylinder metal.
Racing drivers use rotten stone, mixing
a little cylinder oil with It to form
a thin paste. In tapping the piston
it should be given both a ~reclprocating
and oscillating motion.

WESTERN FOREST FIRE
SEASON OPENS FAvoRABLY

Denver.-Frequent rains have been
4 boon to the western forests this
spring, and the officers of the forest
service. United States Department of
Agriculture, express themselves as
greatly relieved at escaping a danger
which has been keeping them on thu
anxious seat.
The danger was that il the summer
fire season came on as usual their
control of the national forests would
be impossible with the funds available
before July j, when a new fiscal veal
begins. Hence the relief hat frequent
rains have kept the forests too damp
to permit dangerous conditions to be-
come general.
But the government ~foresters dc not
consider that his Is entirely due to
favorable weather and timely rains.
The public is becoming interested in
forest preservation, n the oft-re-
peated story of the destruction caused
by human carelessness Is beginning to
make its impression. The United
States leads all nations in forest fires.

one of which started in Old Mexico
and swept across the international
boundary. This Is an exceptional rec
ord and means much to the forest
service.
Eighty per cent of the forest fires
that occurred in the United States
during the past five years were due to
human carelessness. A camp fire left
burning, a lighted match or cigarette
but thoughtlessly thrown aside, the for
esters say, often cause conflagrations
that take days and weeks of hard
work to suppress. 1t is for this reason
that they ask every good citizen to
adopt as part of his daily creed the
motto of the forest service-PUT
OUT. KEEP OUT, FOREST FIRES.

Prevent Wear on Holes.

To prevent wear on the holes in
the casing and sill, It is best to have
a short. fiat bar Of steel with a hole
bored in Its center and also screw
holes near Its ends, screwed to the
top casing and sill of the door. A
guide is also to be made for the bot
tom plunger. Both the top and bottom
plunger rods should be tapered slight
ly at their ends, so that they will cas-
lily enter the holes bored In the casing

From Trinity l went to Burton and
as l reached there about the noon
hour Miss Alice Smoak, the excellent
teacher at this school, had taken
thought for me and gave me nice
lunch of ham sandwiches and other
good things to eat which all came in
very we'll at this hour. This district
has only small tax but will run sew
en- months and has very large en-
rollment, in fact too many for one
teacher and the pity is that the peo-
pie of this section will not get to-
gether and make different division of
district lines and see if there could
not be consolidation at some points
that would be beneficial to the chill
dren and they should be the first

AMONG THE SCHOOLS
Teachers Meeting


The county teachers association
did not meet last Saturday for the
reason that it was thought best to
postpone it until the coming Saturday
50 that an attractive program might
be arranged. The meeting will be
held next Saturday at the court
house and we want to see every teach
er present at this meeting. A pro-
gram will be published in the Friday
papers and it will include talk by
President Derrick of Newberry col
lege in which talk he will tell the
teachers about the summer school for
teachers that will be held the coming
summer at Newberry college and l
would like to suggest that all teach
ers who expect to attend summer
school make it convenient to attend
this school at Newberry. And for
the teachers who are resident of New
berry county it will be much more
convenient and less expensive. And
you will get the same credit for
attending this school that you will get
for Winthrop or any of the other
summer schools. Then we will try
to have some other features at this
meeting that will make it worth your
while to be present.

refreshed our party with some good
mountain water and we drove on to
Walhalla without any more stops,
reaching the town something after
o'clock.
In order to be on my job here in
Newberry on Monday morning l had
to return on Sunday. The Luther
ans have an early morning Easter
service so we had the privilege of at
tending that service. We left Wal
halla something after 10 o'clock on
Sunday and decided that we would
come back by Greenville. At Glenn
son College we made a stop to let
some of the party who had never been
there take a look at the magnificent
grounds and buildings and also the
old Calhoun mansion. (Of course
we left the old folk at Walhalla) The
Calhoun mansion is now occupied by
family, but a Miss Calhoun who
lives there with the family kindly let
us in and we took look at the place.
The Calhoun furniture and relics that
are left are stored in one room which
is kept for that purpose. 1t seems to
me with all the grounds that the COL
lege has and the money, that this old
mansion should have been kept just
as the Washington home is at Mt.
Vernon. The road around this way is
fine except that there are places
where work is being done and espec-
ially at the Saluda dam between Sem
eca and Greenville there is short
distance that is almost impossible.
At Greenville we made stop Of a
couple hours that my daughter might
call on her girl friend, Lucy Wright,
and her other good friend, Miss
'Beta" as they cali her. Lucy is now
Mrs. Harrison and Miss "Beta" as
YOU know is Mrs. Geo. Wright. The
road from Greenville to Fountain Inn
is fine except that we had to make a
detour on account of some work being
done on this road. From Fountain
Inn to within eight miles of Laurens
the road is awful, but then the con-
tractors are at work on this road and
have gone out from Laurens about
eight miles. From Laurens to Clln-
ton the new road had not been opened
though I see that it is now open to
travel and this is a fine road and
shortens the distance some mile or
two. From Clinton to the Newberry
line the road has been built and is in
good condition. And from Kinards
to Newberry you know the contrac-
tor is now building and will have the
road ready within couple months.
The small grain crop is looking
we'll all along the way and there
seems to be quite a bit of it planted.
The farmers have been busy prepar-
ing the land for another crop and
from the appearance one would judge
that there is to be lot Of cotton
planted again this year. Just why l

NEWBERRY TO WALHALLA
AND ALONG THE WAY

Saturday before and Easter Sunday
were beautiful Southern days, just
such days as we are accustomed to
have in this fine and favored south
land of ours. Neither too cold nor
too hot, just fine for riding through
the country and enjoying the balmy
air and the beautiful landscape. In
accordance with my promise l made
the trip to Walhalla for the Easter
time and to give the old folk, the
father and the mother, the opportuni-
ty to spend the Easter time with the
family of their preacher son, the
Rev. w. B. Aull and his interesting
family. He is the Lutheran pastor
at this place. l say interesting fam
lily and it is, any group of SIX girls
and two boys in one family and the
oldest about 10 or IL years is inter-
esting, and then that good wife OF
his has managed this group OF chill
dren so we'll and has them so we'll
trained that it is pleasure to be with
them, and then these little girls are
bright and smart. The purpose of
the trip was not SO much for me to
spend the Easter time in Walhalla as
it was to give my father and mother
the pleasure of doing so, as l have
done for several years and will
do so long as we are all spared to live.
And I enjoy going myself.
