GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make 1t Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.

Gold teeth are going out Of style,
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend is TO pre-
serve the tooth to make it look as
near as possible Hike it was originally.
If this can't be done the offending
molar or incisor must be pulled out.
The idea of pulling teeth is some
thing comparatively new In American
dentistry. The tendency was TO save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth
Bridge work also Is not as popu-
lar as 1t once was. To make a bridge
two good teeth were flied down as
anchors for the mass of gold in be-
tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with it,.
Now dentists recommend = plate of
false teeth instead or the bridge.
These being removable are easily
kept clean. The dental science is now
spending its energies more on serv-
iceable plates rather than on bridges
or crowns.-New York Sun.

ENGINE TEASERS
have POOR CARS
Certain Type Of Drivers Cannot
Resist Temptation to Fool
With Carburetor.
GRIND VALVES WHEN NEEDED
Compound Must Be Carefully Wiped
Out at Finish, Otherwise Cylinder
Walls Will Be Worn Out
Plug Up Openings.

There Is certain type of motorcar
driver who. whenever the engine
doesn't perform properly, Immediately
begins to adjust the carburetor. An
other type files dollars worth of
metal from the interrupter points. And
still another wants to grind the valves
every other day.
These fellows are engine teasers
and no matter what is wrong with the
car they think adjusting the carbure.
tor, grinding the valves or filing the
interrupter points will make the en-
CINE well again. Consequently they
usually have faulty car-because
they persist in teasing it constantly.
Don't Grind Valves.
Don't grind your valves-until they
actually need it. Don't be forever
fussing with the engine. Don't imag-
Inc that every little trouble has its
origin in the engine-lt will get you
Into trouble II you do
l have seen cases where valves have
been ground so deep in the casting
tnat the seat was at the bottom of a
WELL and when the valve was
pushed open there was very little
space for the passage of exhaust
gases, writes p. w. Cooke, president
OF the Coyne Trade and Engineering
school, In an exchange. A little more
grinding would have worn through the
castings and left no seat at all.
If the valve sets in the cylinder
care should be taken to plug up all
openings leading to the cylinder so
that no grinding compound may work
inside. Also. the grinding compound
must be carefully wiped out at the fin
ish-otherwise 1t will keep on grind
ing and wear out the cylinder walls.
1t Is well to check up the push rod
clearance before and after valve
grinding; before. because there may
not be enough clearance to allow the
valve to seat, thus causing the leak
which appears to make grinding nee
essary-afterward because there may
be slight lowering of the valve, MAX
ing adjustment necessary.
Grinding Is Harmful.
Before grinding make sure that the
'alve needs it and do not grind any
more than is necessary. After YOU
nave ground enough to give tight
seat all further effort expended is
waste. In addition, it is harmful to
the engine.
Therefore grind your valves only
when they need it, but do not grind
them on general principles or longer
than to make a perfect seat. And
don't be an engine teaser.

Suppose a funeral passed your

containing an American business firm.
1t would be impressive, wouldn't it?
II would also give you an accurate
idea of the number of business fail
nres since prices began to tumble in
May, 1920 Notwithstanding they
haven't tumbled so very much for some
things. But don't get gloomy over it.
Standing on curbstones watching their
brethren go to Dun & Bradstreets
cemetery, are nearly 100000 business
organizations that have weathered the
storm. In two years of severe de-
preston only one business in every
fifty-three has failed. The percentage
OF farmers that have gone broke is
larger. Business failures have totaled
about $G00000,000 a year in liabilities.
Assets have averaged about enough to
pay 30 per cent on the dollar. The net
loss has been about $300,OO0,OOO a
year, or about SO a per for each Amer
lean. Might be much worse, remarks

You Auto Know

That some cars have tenE
dency to leak oil from the right
hand wheel housing, even when
no excess Of lubricant Is ap-
parent anywhere else. This Is
due to the fact that the right
side Of the car is usually at
lower level than the left, espe-
cially when driving along coun-
try roads where macadam is de-
signed to shed water into the
bitches on either side. AS re-
suit of this leakage, the right
hand brake band is often COW
cred with thin film of oil which
prevents it from functioning
properly.
A simple remedy for this is to
wrap long strip Of thin felt
around the shaft, starting from
the wheel end and working in a
direction opposite to the forward
motion of the wheel, covering
the axle for distance of about
eight inches. The felt should
then be fastened to the shaft
with shellac and held in place
by cord, tied around 1t several
times. When the shaft is turned,
the effect of this is to force the
oil back toward the differential
and away from the brakes.

Incorrect Adjustment of the Torque
Rods Will Cause Skidding and
Should Be Remedied.

In an Independent course. The rear
end is naturally inclined to follow the
wheels and skidding is the result.
This is one of the seldom suspected
causes of skidding and the remedy is
to take accurate measurements from

straighten the rods as required until
the measurements are exactly alike

When an automobile skids with the

It was a raw and blustery day. AS
we stepped out upon the sidewalk, we
could hear the wind soughing through
the branches Of the great double row
of elms and naples that lined Main
street The selectman, having the sub
ject on his mind, stopped for mo-
ment to look back at the old town hall.
The town hall was a very old build
ing, and a stranger might have been
pardoned for remarking that it showed
it's age. It's style was that Of bygone
days. In fact, it stood back from the
corner, apart from the buster
thoroughfares, as If it were half in
hiding. and ashamed Of the part it had
played. 1t was three-story structure
of red brick, with a mansard, and a
tower with a black faced clock that
overlooked the town. In its doorway,
the town signpost was plastered with
probate court notices. In the base
ment was a BARRIERS shop. From an
upper window of the tower protruded
transparency of the Owenoco Tribe,

The building housed the offices of the
selectmen, the town clerk, the judge of

Wallingford had population of $500.
Today it's residents number between

Wallingford had a population of $500.
Today it's residents number between
1850 and 10000.
This is not story intended to deal
with predatory finance or political mis-
management. Undoubtedly, the mu-
nicipality of Wallingford has always
been honestly managed, and as con-
Germs it's two banking institutions. But
had wallingford, in its early days. es-
tablished a sinking fund and paid off
its $4,000 debt, 1t would have tre-
mendously altered it's coming history.
All would have been well had it adopt
ed the business mans policy Of paying
it's way. Instead Of that, it decided to
live on borrowed money. In this it
merely followed a fallacious principle,
born of custom and tradition. But, as
will be shown, in adhering to this
principle, the town retarded it's
growth, crippled its future, and placed
a burden upon its townsfolk which has
handicapped them for half century.

A Soldiers Fareweli-The follow

officer, ito be delivered to his father
in the event of his DEATH" was sent
recently to the Times by one of Its
readers:
TO MY FATHER.
"This is a final message for you to
read when 1 am dead. There will be
so little else-just the brief official
notification The Secretary of State
for War regrets -; maybe be-
lated letter or two, speaking only of
the small happenings Of the day;
perhaps a tale of brother officer as
to how I fell; beyond that, nothing.
And, therefore, now beforehand l say
farewell. .. D..
There is no need of many. words.
But I want first to thank you as
your son. You have been to me the
best father a fellow could wish. /
want to thank you for the gift OF
clean and strong and vigorous and
healthy body, straight limbs, and
thews that could serve England at her
need. For the gift Of powerful in
tellect and a discerning mind-thank
you. For the long years of self denial
that made my education possible; for
the guidance and teaching that kept
me straight in the days Of youth; for
the counsel and help ever freely prof
fered when I asked; for all noble
things in your example-again and
most earnestly, thank you.
Secondly, as to my death. Inas-
much as we be men together, there Is
little need for words. 1t is in good
cause that 1 lay down my life. All the
things that I hold dear in life will
ingly give up since it Is required of
me. l am proud and glad to be one
of those whom England takes, one Of
those who in their bodies pay the
price Of her honor And though In
your heart there will be sorrow, you
will also be proud, and you will not
grieve over much.
"All good things be unto you. May
the coming years bring wider fields of
service, honor and honorable work.

in the end peace and .contentment, and
