it with fresh after the receptacle has
been flushed out with kerosene.
BY the same token the driver who
wants to practice charity toward his

replenIsh the radiator from time TO

tons must operate under such tenn

gerous for them to be minute with

IL we could persuade the average
car owner to be charitable all the

the average length of life of these lat

eight or ten. When you see fellow
driving down the main street OF your
city in a car obviously a relic OF ten

man has probably mastered the Sc
cret of being charitable to his own
car. Instead Of laughing at him make

1t is an old saying that charity
begins at home" and wrongly applied
the old saw would lead to the disap-
pearance of all charity. 1t is fact,
though, that the average motor car
owner is far more charitable toward
other vehicles than he is to his own
particular pet. The. average motorist
is careful to drive so as not to in
jure another car, but he seldom treats
his own bus in the same way. The
treatment received by the average
car is the reverse of charitable, in
fact ii would come under the eyes of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Cars, if such an organiza-
tion were in existence. Let us ex-
anime some of the common and in
excusable abuses in detail, after
which we may realize how easy 1t is
to avoid them and resolve to do so.
Take for instance bad case of
missing The average car owner
knows that his engine has developed
a miss by an unusual vibration, which
is annoying, certainly, but scarcely
more than that, and by a distinct loss
Of power. This latter may not be
vitally important because most Amer
ican cars have far more power than
they need, except in emergencies.
So it happens that many owners
regard a miss as simply a nuisance
and say to themselves, "Oh, Ill fix
the blamed thing when l get time
They usually get the time within two
or three months, during the inter-
vening period of which the engine
has been missing with unwholesome
regularity. But in actual truth when
the engine is missing many different
parts of the mechanism are kbeing
subjected to unusual and injurious
strains. When the engine misses it
frequently happens that while the en-
gine IS part of the time propelling the
car, during the rest of the time the
car is propelling the engine. This
sets up injurious strains on many
parts Every car owner has noticed
the vibration that is set up by miss
ing This condition is due to the fact
that when one cylinder misses the en-
CINE as a whole slows down to GER
tain extent and then speeds up as the
next cylinder fires. The car mean
while is running along at nearly an
even sneed 1t follows that when the
engine slows down momentarily and
then speeds up again on unusual
strain IS placed on uniyersals, gears,
etc.
To explain this let us remind the
reade- that only one tooth of a bevel
gear is completely engaged at any one
time When the engine is slowed
down by missing and then speeds up
again with more or less of a jerk, il
is obvious that the single gear tooth
has 10 carry a most unusual strain
which in time may cause breakage or
chipping. The net result of our in
vestigation so far is the discovery
that missing is not a mere annoying
condition that may be tolerated until
convenient to eliminate it, but an ac-
tual danger to the mechanism
whenever a car owner detects miss
he should go after the cause and
eliminate the trouble with as little
delay as possible
Very similar are the results when
the accelerator pedal is operated un-
evenly. This will be almost obvious
and the driver who desires to be
charitable to his own car will realize
that pressure should be applied to the
pedal gently. Incidentally when driv-
Arizona republican., 1922-01-08

ing over very rough roads where it is
not possible to keep the foot steady,
would ii not be more sensible to use
the hand throttle?
The clutch, wrongly handled is one
of the most uncharitable units in the
entire mechanical organism. When
the clutch is thrown into engagement
it is almost inevitable that the mech
anism as a whole is subjected to GER
tain stresses or strains. IL the en-
gagement is harsh or violent these
stresses are magnified many times
over. The lesson here learned is
easy: Accurate operation of the
clutch on the part of the driver and
adequate maintenance of the part so
that 1t may not become harsh in ap-
plication.
One of the commonest places in
which the average car owner shows
his lack of charity toward his own
vehicle is in the fabrication system
1t is not always easy to give the en-
gine enough oil and yet to avoid over
doing it. This problem will require
little study and, a little careful eX-
perimentation, but the wise car own
err will resolve to study it at all COSTS
| The instruction books that come with
1.-the various cars will tell the owner
what grade of oil will give the best
results with his vehicle, and how
much Of the oil should be used. If
the owner stops there he is making
a great mistake. 1t is so easy to keep
on filling up the reservoir as the oil is
used up that the average car owner
| Is tempted to let it go at that. But
that is not the proper way to handle
| this matter.
The oil used in the engine is sub
| jected to great heat, particularly that
which comes in contact with the up
| per end Of the piston. Inevitably a
certain amount Of the virtue of the
oil is eventually lost. If fresh oil
is poured into the reservoir to bring
the volume up to the proper point a
considerable quantity of partly vitiat-

is interesting to check the growth Of

Since the other main uses of car

manufactured principally in the east,
western consumption of carbon black
was practically negligible until the

'The Wyoming and other western

carbon black monthly and is the larg-

CHILD LABOR DECREASES

Despite the failure of congress to enact
constitutional law forbidding child labor,
census reports show that there was a
marked decrease in the employment of
children 10 to Is years of age engaged in
1910 to 1920. What was sought to be ac-
complished by law and proved futile ap-
pears to be working out of itself. The
decrease was quite large in agriculture,
forestry, animal industry, in the extraction
of minerals and in domestic and personal
service. There were increases in public
service and in clerical occupations.
These figures may indicate that in
creased earnings on the part Of adults have
relaxed the need for children's earnings in
many families. The movement may not
have gone as far as is desirable, but it is
in the right direction. Not many parents
possessed of normal instincts wish their
children to be stunted by too early resort
to labor, but in some instances it is a
choice of two evils The law touching on
child labor is needed for those unaffected
by natural feelings of parent and see in
the child only its earning power, little
though that be.
There may be evil in no employment for
a child of 10 to Is years of age, too. Moth
ing to do may not be as bad as too much
labor, but there is a mean that does no
harm but good. Though the child may not
need the earnings, that age is the time
when habits of industry and thrift should
be inculcated. The boy or girl who in adj
dition to schooling has some task to per-
form and is held responsible for it will be
the better for it. Setting children at steady
work at too early an age is wrong, but let.
ting them grow up to maturity in idleness
is not the proper alternative

HooRAY FOR sMooT-

Senator SmOOt is courageous man. He
has announced that, as far as the senate
is concerned, he will make the Congress
sional Record hew true to its name. Most
of the matter in that publication for years
has had no connection with congress, be-
ing merely extraneous, undelivered ora
tons inserted by members "for home con-
sumption" by unanimous consent of their
colleagues.
For senator to announce that he will
break this precedent of long standing re-
quires nerve and fortitude; to do so in a
campaign year requires both in superla-
tive degree. So far, of all its 435 men,
bers, not single member of the house has
announced his intention to extend the gen.
tleman from Utahs innovation to that
branch.
In the interest of economy and truth, it
is to be hoped Mr. Smoot will stick to his
announced intention and that some mem
Der of the lower house will join forces with
him. The Congressional Record was meant
to be record of the proceedings of con-
gress. The present despicable practice,

CAR AND FOOD SHORTAGE

When there is plenty OF everything,
everybody ought to have plenty. How old
will society have to be before men learn
to feed themselves?
This year every family ought to have a
basket of apples for the children to run to-.
The farmers hogs are murching apples
freely and everybody knows it pays better
to feed apples to children than to hogs.
Every family ought to be buying apples by
the bushel; instead the housewives are TAX
ing home a few apples in little paper bags.
They buy them by the pound, and the
grocer lifts out the big apple and puts in a
little one to make the scale balance exactly
right.
But the bo,ghs of the early apple trees
had to be braced up to keep them from
breaking and thousands of bushels never
were picked because the farmer couldn't
get enough for the fruit to pay for the
trouble of harvesting it. The same fate
befalls many other good food stuffs. So it
always happens when there is plenty. The
system of food distribution is maintained
only by enforcing partial shortage.
The reason is the failure of the means of
transportation. There is the regularly
periodic car shortage. ut MEANS" says
STANDARD Daily Trade Service" serious
business inconvenience. The year 1920
stands out as one that witnessed our heavi-
est production; yet there was a continuous
car shortage that year, as there was also
throughout 1917, and during the earlier
months of 1913"
Perhaps it doesn't pay the railroads to
have cars enough to do the business of the
country. But no one can prove that it pays
the country to have car shortage. The
food that wastes annually would buy LOT
of freight cars.

CRIMINAL COURAGE

Out of an international police confer
ence such as that recently held in New
York we should have expected that tales
Of fiendishly clever and startlingly scien-
tific tools of modern criminals would have
come. The opposite is true.
Not much difference is seen in the de-
vices used by criminals now and decade
ago, those at the conference asserted.
Thieves still break plate glass by pasting
hypaper over it, so no noise will be made
by the flying bits. They still use ropes for
office building thefts, and the blackjack
for street robberies.
Whence all the tales of Arthur B. Reeve
and whence all the recountings of the
shrewdness of Raffles? The criminals of
fiction are told about by men too clever,
too sane, too much masters of themselves
to touch the actual in criminology.
There was one startling disclosure at the
conference, and it was most illuminating.
A New York detective said that not big
job had been pulled off in that city for
years, but the criminals were all doped
with cocaine, to keep their courage up

criminals are not fine, heroic fellows. They
are weaklings, spurred on by the use of
drugs
