Now Best Time to Over

Bus.

Whether your car has been in use
all winter or whether it has been
lacked up, it will need certain
amount of attention to put it in 6t
condition to run. The car that has
been on jacks will need a generous
cleaning, after which all oil compart-
ments should be drained and cleaned
and rehlled with fresh lubricant The
gear compounds should be fairly
heavy for warm weather work. Grease
should be used for spring shackle
bolts and other parts provided with
suitable cups or pressure nipples. A
car that has been packed up all win
ter does not deteriorate unless rust
has set in, but if you were thoughtful
you would have provided against this
in the fall by greasing these parts.
However, rust is removable BY means
of kerosene or special rust removers.
All bearings should be repacked with
grease. This applies only to chassis
bearings, such as those in the wheels.

There is nothing you can do to them
A car that has been run all winter
must be gone over very thoroughly
The procedure is somewhat the same
as for the car in storage except that
adjustments will be necessary to great

have done their damage in rusting
spring leaves and in covering the un.
derneath parts of the chassis. A good
cleaning is therefore very essential
The change to different oils likewise is
quite necessary. There is no need tc
do any more to the engine than re.

Do not try to change oil simply BY
draining, as this is not effective enough
After the winter you will find a gooo

good cleaning Also flush the waite

Each fellow has his dark blue sor.

or care; and one, some SYM
pathy to borrow, will talk about
it everywhere. He'll buttonhole
the brass-bound copper, and say,
please listen while l tell. in lam

about the woe that makes me yell"
And he will stop the village banker,
who is intent on honest gain, and
cry, II have a secret canker, large
three-cornered convex pain. He
corners now the earnest pastor. he
backs him up against wall, to tell
about the grim disaster that DER his
life has cast a pail. And how the
people dread to meet him, at sight
of him their faces pale they're tired
OF all the woes that eat him, they're
weary of his rancid tale. Another
voter has trouble, man size grief.

Vicksburg, Miss, April 28.-
Twelve thousand persons are re-

Issaquena county by back-water
from a break in the Mississippi
river levees.
Five hundred persons are said to
have been caught in the town of
Valley Park by the rising water.
The entire area in this section is
covered by water, which came from
a break higher up in the river and
comprises a tract So miles long and

Beardstown, IlE, April 2s.-Prep-
arations for the pursuit of normal
activities in Beardstown began to
take definite form today as flood
water which has covered S5 per
cent of the city for three weeks
continued to recede toward the
channel of the Illinois river.
Efforts will be made to reopen
the schools next Monday, accord
ing to C. J. White, president OF the
board of education. The water has
fallen sufficiently to start work in
cleaning two schools which were
flooded, and Captain Brewer of the
Salvation Army relief, has been
asked to transfer the emergency
hospital from the Beard school.
The school term will be extend
ed into the summer to make up for
time lost during the flood, Mr.
White said.

COQSOIlQaIeO PFeSS Correspondence -
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Pasadena, Calf, April 2S.-South
Pasadena has declared war on one
armed automobile driving. open
ing a campaign which may become
nationwide.
If the laws of certain states for
bid the granting of a license to a
one-armed man to drive an auto
mobile, City Manager Orbison
wants to know why man with one
arm about a girl should have a IL
cense to drive in any state, city or
township.
Orbison contends that a one
armed man, keeping his mind on
driving is far more desirable than
the two-armed man with one arm
clasped about a slender waist, the
inference being that the latter will
be somewhat mentally distracted.
Flivver Not Like "DObbin."
THAT sort of thing was all right
in the days when old Dobbin was
in front of -you," said the city man
ager today, for old Dobbin seemed
to sympathize with spooners and
had sense enough to keep himself
out of trouble. But the motor We
hicle lacks the personality and in
tellect of old Dobbin and the fliv-
yer of the lovesick swain is apt to
become the car of Juggernaut.
Orbison told the city council last
