new CAR NEEDS
CAREFUL NURSING
Life Of Car Depends Much on
Early Attention.
Many Things Are Necessary to Be
Done In First 1000 MiIes--Proper
oreasino and Adjustment Of
Nuts Important.

To maintain a car In good running
order so that IL will give long service
at minimum expense means that II
must be given systematical attention.
especially during early life of the car.
There are many things to do, the most
necessary Of which are the following /:
Tighten all nuts and bolts after the
first hundred miles of travel; drain
oil from crankcase and replace with
fresh oil after first 500 miles; after
1000 miles drain oil again. pour In
about quart OF fresh oil. run the en-.
gine a few seconds and again drain,
then remove oil pan and clean with
kerosene, replacing after cleaning and
refill with correct amount Of fresh
oil. Travel no faster than % miles
per hour the first 1000 miles, as engine
Is stiff and bearings must be worn In
slowly; otherwise a noisy engine will
result. Watch oil and gasoline gauges
carefully for any defect In systems; |;
check up on valve, timer and carbure-
tor adjustments frequently, always
keeping the leanest possible carburetor
mixture; jack up wheels and test for
looseness by shaking, and II there Is
any play readjust the bearings; use
good oil 4; keep tires fully inflated; don't
race the engine when the car is stand
ing; keep cooling system filed with
water and see II water Is circulating (;
If not, examine pump and hose con-
nections to radiator, and when clean
ing the car, which should not be done
frequently until the varnlsh has hard
ened, do not use strong stream Of
water and do not rub away dust with
cloth. Washing with a slow stream
Of water Is the best.

married women should give up their
Jobs In favor Of unemployed ex-service
men.
1t was Mrs. Wheelock who success
fully opposed the making of the Amer
lean Legion strictly a mans organiza-
tion. As a result there are today sew
eral women enrolled as Legionnaires
and several posts composed altogether
Of ex-service women.
Mrs. Wheelock began helping the
United States win tho war as early as
1916 when she started a campaign to
obtain stevedores and coal beavers for
the navy. She caused to be presented
to congress petitions for adequate pre-
paredness and Is accredited with hav-
ing through her own efforts recruited
10000 men for the navy. In recogni-
tion Of her services she was made
chief yeoman In the regular service.
Mrs. Wheelock is active In social
and civic affairs In New York and is
widely known for her writings In both
the English and French languages.

"Mrs. Indian Elephant is always

Indian Elephant, "and think 1 would

Talk away" said Mrs. Indian Ele-

II am glad Of that. There are
more Of you always about than there

you can let people know what you ara

Mrs. Indian Elephant.
"Why should bel" asked Mr..
Indian Elephant. 'T do not wish to
be conceited, but I do not want crea-

"The Elephant family is such fine
and famous one. For years and years
there have been elephants. The his
tory of our family goes back so far
that I cannot even think that far back
and you know I am famous for my
good memory.
"Ah. but we have been able TO do
so many things. We have famous

are famous for our memories.

In talking about the weather or the
fact that the sun has shone after a

they are to see the sun. They talk
Of such things.
"But II they really want to have
good, worthwhile talk. as l said be-
fore. they should talk about the
memory Of elephants.
Members of our family have been
good workers. They have helped
people in the work they have done Of
dragging great huge logs.

"Maybe people wouldn't call the ele-

"what is that?" asked Mrs. Ele-

"A point OF view, my dear, Is the

"Now for my part think the ele-

AMONG "BIRDS OF PASSAGE"
Continue to Turn Out Crop Of
Second Lieutenants.

That the second looie," of whom
there were so many during the war,
is more or less an institution Of ac-
tive warfare is shown In an editorial
from the American Legion Weekly
under the caption Birds of Passage"
II follows:
Buried In the recent official list
Of the number Of army officers OF all
grades who have contrived to survive
the congressional guillotlne appeared
this inconplcuous entry:
"Second lieutenants (all arms) .233
"Only 233 second lieutenants left |
And once there must have been that
many thousand. Who shall now deny
that the war Is over? Certainly while
II lasted they bloomed like so many
hardy perennials, emerging full blown
from the training camps and finally
from the ranks, for was not the top
sergeant only a little lower than the
angels?
"After the Armlstlce. when divisional
and regimental shows began to appear
all over the A. Il. f., the second Lieu
tenant won fresh immortality In the
quips which Mr.. Bones passed to Mr..
Tambo, and vice versa. 1t was a
token Of his popularlty-for humanity
does not poke gentle fun at what 1t
hates.
"The second lieutenant is not ex-
tingushed Most of him has 81 ind-
uated into first lieutenancy. West
Point will, of course, continue to tnrn
out its annual crop, but even these
will within few months enter ths
larger life of the silver bar"

GOOD ROADS REDUCE PRICES
Poor Transportation Facilities Help
Keep UP High Cost Of Liv-
ing In Big Cities.

One Of the solutions OF the high
cost of living problem lies In good
roads. Poor transportation facilities
form strong factor in keeping prices
up. With a system of well paved ma
tional highways transportation condl.
uons would be improved TO such an
extent that the cost and time OF bring.
ing food and merchandise TO the con
sumer would be materially cut.
