Steering Gear Adiu.tment

Go over the steering gear oc- casionally to see if any part is com ing loose. If this mechanism fails. there is usually serious accident. If all parts are tight, put oil or grease wherever necessary, and then see if there is any lost motion at the steering wheel. If there Is an inch or so. 1t should be taken out Details differ with different de- signs but they all have some means of adjustment. Have this attended to at the service station.
 Because of the warm weather. the water evaporates rapidly in the bat tery.
 Sand or salt is much better than water to extinguish burning oil or gasoline.
 Wheels of new cars require less toeing in than the wheels of cars already limbered up.
 A ziizagging wheel is remedied by having the axle set firmly, and the bushings snugly adjusted.
 With the cooling system of an en- zine drained, the engine should not be run more than a few minutes continuously, without danger of overheating.
 One weak cylinder in an automo- bile will cause a disagreeable pound which Is not only annoying to the operator but injurious to the whole mechanism.
 Lens reflectors can be cleaned with solution of denatured alcohol and water in equal parts. Apply with a soft cloth or cotton to avoid scratching the surface.
 Have the carbon removed imme- diately upon noticing carbon knock The operation is not ex- pensive, and the engine bearings will be relieved of much unneces- sary abuse.

PEA AND soY-BEAN THREsHER

For use as hn attachment Tor a grain binder a pen and soy-bean thresher has been demonstrated suo- cessfully in Missouri. The head of the binder is removed, and the pea and bean thresher is so constructed that it can be put in its place. as shown in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The peas or beans are de- livered to cylinder under a metal shield at top of the attachment. This cylinder is rotated by n spcocket and chain connection with another sprocket on the fan shaft at the bot tom of the attachment. From this cylinder he peas or beans are de- livered to a staw rack or shaker, where they are screened.

Some time ago there was found what was thought to be the largest of all crystals-a piece of spodu- memo 2s feet In length. Later, how over. Professor Montgomery of To- ronto announced that he had meas ured in the Etta tin mine In the Black Hills a crystal of that mineral which was no less than SS feet inches In length and 32 inches in thickness. It was. he says, almost perfect in form. Spodumene Is a grayish white or pink mineral almost as hard as quartz.

wastefuI oil Dripping.

OH drips frequently come from loose cap screws on the crank case, from the, bearings from the plung- CTS or tappets above the cam shaft. In addition to being wasteful, drips of this kind make frightfully messy engine and should be att tended to promptly. In some cases, where oil ,drips from the bearings, the fan picks 1t up and scatters it over the Inside of the hood.

Tie Rod,

Beneath the rear axle of an auto mobile, tie..rods, extending from one side to the other, are placed for the purpose of preventing the axle from sagging under strain of vibration and load, while the car is in motion. Tie rods should always be taut, and. if loose, tighten the nuts which se- cure the rods to the axle ends. Un- less the rods are tight, they will not serve their purpose of relieving the axle from strain.

MACHINE DESTROYS wEEv1L

The ever-increasing damage and loss caused by the cotton boil weevil has stimulated inventors to search for some means of destroying the pest. To be successful. a machine must not only collect and destroy the live weevils. but must also gath CT and destroy the flower buds and young cotton bolls in which the eggs and grubs exist. One. of the most ambitious attempts along strictly mechanical lines, Is a suction ma chine, that Is illustrated and de- scribed in the Popular Mechanics Magazine and which has shown ex- cellent results in its preliminary trials. A large exhaust fan is mounted on light but substantial wheel frame, and tubes lead from the suction side of the fan to flex- ible tubes which terminate near the ground. Spring-wire agitators and adjustable gathering arms are mounted on the frame in front of the suction tubes.

Keep Gas Line Clean

Remove the strainer in the gaso- line line at least once a month, and clean out all fore,gn matter that has lodged there. The strainor Is found where the feed pipe enters the vacuum tank, sometimes anoth- CT one where the gasoline enters the carburetor.

To Remove Headlight Rim

headlight rim which has be- come rusted can easily be removed by the use of strap or belt. Place the belt around the rim, and pass the end through the buckle. When the belt Is drawn tight, sudden pull will loosen the rim without in turing the lens.

A Helpful Hint

When a nut cannot be removed with an ordinary wrench, heat the wrench and allow to remain out on the nut for a period. The nut can then be removed without much trouble, as the heat will expand it before the bolt to which it is se- cured is warmed

 Tn addition to the users who oper- ate fleets of 10 or more, there are 5,411 owners operating fleets of less than 10, totaling 33,2S4 trucks, mak- ing grand total of fleet owners of 5,917 and the number of trucks they operate 51,S11. There is a host of owners who do not operate fleets.
 Another interesting angle of the White company's tabulation Is that 15 owners have invested more than $20,000, ,000 In Whites. The total value of all Whites on the road is well in excess of 1S0,000,000.

Necessities

Go over your supply of spare parts and repair kit, and see that all items are supplied. Such small parts as tube patches, repair cement, valve plungers and caps are soon used up, and these are not there when wanted.

Locating Missing Cylinder

A missing cylinder can be located by opening the compression relief valves one by one. If no flame is seen, open the throttle a little. This gives the right amount of gas to each cylinder, so that the flame will be strong enough to shoot out.

gratifying that Miss Goldman has come, though somewhat late, to this conclusion. But the bankruptcy of the Balshevist experiment does not at all mean the crushing of the revolu
 tion," as Miss Goldman pessimisti- eally declares it to be The Russian revolution never meant to ever throw capitalism and establish com munism." The Russian revolution meant change from autocracy to democratic institutions; It's main so- cial content was and remains the passing of the land to the peasants. Nothing can return Russia to the Tzar's regime. ana nothing can take the land away from the peasants Bolshevism as stage in the devel- onment of the Russian revolution is on the wane already, and when it passes Russia will be reestablished as a democracy. with capitalist econ omics. Thus. the revolution will have accomplished all that can be accomplished, considering the historl- cal conditions under which Russia and the world live today. Lenin and those who share his madness will certainly be disappointed, but the Russian people will be satisfied.

 MOnOpolistic Combinations
 Todays tendency in industry is to- ward monopollstio combinations. Par liament during It's last session passed an act designed to group railway companies and to bring them more or less under joint control of their pat -ons and the capitalistic directors On Monday last a bill was passed through its second reading giving the railway companies power to carry roads on the highways. To my mind these developments offer a field for the assertion of labor's claims. But labor has not yet seen fit to enter it. On the passing of the former bill l offered an amendment, which if adopted, would have given the rail- way employees the right to represen- taton under the system through di- Iectors chosen by themselves. My
 
 sentatives of the employees as we'll as by the directors although the govern ment at first had framed the bill to provide for it. As a consequence the bill was defeated. But the principle underlying 1t yet will be conceded and when that time comes the question of workshop management in such cases will cease from troubling. because la bor will have a voice Tn settling the general conditions within which undi- vided managerial discretion will be exercised. In other industrial enter prlses the principle suggested can be applied through joint counsels repre- senting the employees and the dIrec- tors. Meanwhile the strike continues and the government refuses to inter- vene even to the extent of setting up court of inquiry, which was pressed for in Parliament by the labor party. The country looks helplessly on and all branches of business suffer.

They Hooked healthy. well fed and contented The physician in charge conducted me through the large place. including kitchen, shining with lovely copper dishes, and explained everything in detail What I saw indeed impressed me tremendously. Here, indeed, was proof of the re- ports that had come to America about the great things done for chill dren in Russia"
 A little later Miss Goldman was visited by a woman she had known in America for many years. This wo- man, now at the head of a school for girls invited her to visit her school. T wont not once but many times" says Miss Goldman. There l saw the other side of the medal There were sixty yfive children in that school. There food was scanty and of poor quality. Most of them were sustained by what their people or relatives sent from the country. They had little warm clothing, and the ma iority were without shoes" In the show school" according to Miss Goldman, "the children were given the best of everything food, cloth lnI, rooms, concerts, dances-tn fact, almost too much considering the general situation. Here the children had so little that they were constant ly hungry, and what little they got had to be obtained with the greatest difficulty.
 soon I learned few facts" con tinues Miss Goldman. There was not enough food or clothing in Russia for all the children. The Bolshevik thought it necessary to have a few show schools in each city for the benefit of the foreign missions, dele gations and reporters. The children were exhibited paraded on every oc- casion and written about. These schools received the cream of every thing. What was left went to the oth- CT schools which were of course in the majority.
 During my two years stay in Rus sia 1 visited many institutions, but I met very few happy chiudren. In all that time I heard a really hearty child's laugh only once in Archangel. On the whole, most children in Rol- 1 shevik institutions impressed me as colorless and stereotyped, veritable children of orphan asylums."
 In summing up her two years ob- servation of Bolshevist Russia, Miss Goldman says that The Russian Rev olution as a radical social and econo- mic change meant 10 overthrow capitalism and establish communism must be declared a failure" It is

The em- ployers insist on their absolute, un- interfered with, discretion in the management of the workshops, sub jeet only to the right of the mems organization to bring forward grieY- ances originating in the exercise of that right and subject further to the exclusion of the general rise and fall of wages, which the employers agree to adjust with the union committee. Under pressure of the war with it's increased work in the lines now af- fected, the employers were compelled to yield certain concession on man. agement. They now seeking to with draw these privileges and the unions have called the strike to compel their retention.
 History Repeating Itself
 It is history repeating itself The workers of Britain have been often beaten on this very issue. There must be some application of the principle on mutual agreement in industry to meet the changed and changing men, tality of the British worker. The time has gone by for him to accept the position of passive subordination. He has become increasingly sensitive re- garding shis status. Education and political enfranchisement have stimu- lated his mental outlook He is think ing more than ever before in terms of democracy and industry. He claims recognition as a man not as mere cog in a wheel. I believe that he Is right in claiming such recognition and that his desire for an improved status will have to be met in some sensible way.
 I think, however, that the British workman is wrong in claiming a share in the manag ement of the work shop. There cannot be a divided man. agement of workshops in an efficient ly conducted industry. The workmen should address their claims higher up.

 London, April t5.-Ireland con tinues in state of incipient civil war and seems to be drifting rapidly toward military dictatorship.
 But that is not all of Great Bri- tain's woes. The troubles that have befallen this country in recent days seem to come, not as single spies, but in battalions.
 We are laden with an enormous na- tional debt. The huge army of the unemployed grows larger instead of smaller.
 And today the country Is helpless ly looking on at the spectacle of an engineering and shipbuilding tieup, with its consequent setback to the commerce of the nation just at a time when there seemed to be a glimmer of improvement on the industrial horizon. The situation Is serious in the extreme. It involves the stopping of work by nearly a million men.
 Cur newest labor trouble hinges chiefly upon the problem of work shop management. The men through
