Did You Know

That testing for slack, or back :
lash, in the rear drive of the car IS
only a matter Of jacking up each
rear wheel, placing the car in gear
and turning the wheels as far as
they will so? At the thread of the
tires each wheel ought to move
through an arc of about an inch. II
it moves through a greater arc eth :
err the universals are worn or the
pinion gear needs to be meshed
closer. The wheels may also be
loose on the axles. Each wheel is
lacked up independently. with the
opposite one on the ground. 50 as to
eliminate consideration of the differ
entail.
That the easiest and best way TO
clean a windshield is to wipe 1t OF
with wet channels and rub dry
with a clean cloth? A little kero-
sene in the water will help If the
glass is very dirty. This method or
cleaning glass is TO be recommended
for closed cars as it does not scratch.
That loose main bearings of the
engine are discovered by lacking up
the fywheel? With the crankcase
dropped the bearings can be watched
as the shaft, through the f1ywheel, is
raised and lowered. Bubbling of
oil around any main bearing during
his process is an indication that 1t
is loose.

Rainy Day Parking

Most drivers seem to find il more
difficult to park their cars in wet
weather than in dry. They will not
attempt to back the car into spaces
which in fair weather they would
consider quite adequate. But those
who are more accustomed to driving
in the wet have discovered that a
space which in dry weather would be
difficult to park in is much easier to
tackle when J. Pluv is reigning. The
reason is wet tires make steering
easier. The wheels can be cut this
way and that with so little effort
that an Impossible space becomes
a possibility before the driver has
time to worry about it.

Reading the Motometer

DO not be alarmed if the moto-

filled up the cooling system with
water.

Having a horn in the rear OF the

handy as a rear light. Sounding the
conventional honk. honk, without
getting the least bit of satisfaction
from pedestrians crossing behind the

horn sounded when backing out of
a driveway or garage IS not likely
to warn the person it is intended for.
Most of the supply houses sell
cheap horns-even used ones are
available at low prices-which do
very we'll for a rear warning. One
car owner attached a horn to the
under side Of the rear floor boards,
covered it with waterproof material.

 These two women absolutely own, lock. stock and barrel. a fine busl- ness worth thousands of dollars-and they started with a capital of one lone $1O bill.
 Even this was borrowed money!
 Know them?
 They are Mrs. J. B. Andrews and Mrs. D. G. Thomson, and their busi- ness Is the tea room at Drennen's de- partment store.
 Just an accident 1t was, pure and simple, that they started the business at all. Now it is seven years old.
 They wanted to buy carpet for their church-the Woodlawn Presby- terian. This would cost $900. They plunged" for it-went into debt. as sponsors for the Ladies Aid society. Mrs. Andruss, who was president of the Ladies' Aid, heard that some one was being sought to run tiny tea room at Drennen's.
 So she went down to see about 1t at once.
 To Try Out
 But" said the wound-be rentor: ''We don't want just church tea room. We want something perma- l nent."
 Mrs. Andrus had proposition to make.
 Well, suppose we make this ar engagement: I'll take the place & month. Then If you are not satis- fled, why the deal is all off and we'll move"
 The consideration being only $1 per day, the dealer capitulated.
 "All right, then" consented he, and very merrily Mrs. Andruss, Mrs. Thomson and the Ladies Aid moved l in. Nothing has been said about that 1 month" yet.
 In eight weeks the sum of $1,600 clear was realized.
 The reason for this good report however. was that the work was all donated by the Ladies' Aid.
 The carpet was paid for. The la dies were tired. The restaurant was about to be ownerless. Mrs Andruss spoke to Mrs. Thomson;
 'Whadda you think of our just con tinuing operations?" inquired she. We could go In as equal partners" Mrs. Thomson said yes. The deal was consummated.
 Mrs. Andruss went home that night and told her husband what she had done. But youll have to lend me $10 for our first day" she told him.

 or course, she got the money. The result has been that from an humble beginning of six tables in one corner of the balcony, the restaurant has so spread itself around that it is laughingly declared:
 "If it keeps on growing, you'll have to move the department store, or have an extra skyscraper built on." The firm, Mrs. .Andruss said. has al- ways been lovely, and moved out its offices one by one, for their accom- modation. Finally a special addition had to be built just for the lunch room.
 Fine Food
 You know the reason why the two owners have succeeded?
 They just set before you food like your own mother would cook at home. They charge a reasonable price for same. and, of course. they get the business Talk about squash. cauli- flower. giblet stew-everything in season-.it's therel There's salad, too, and lots of desserts, and gee. at the good old fashioned vegetable soup!
