SILENT CONFLICT

A S BETWEEN the roaring guns OF
"A contending armies on the field OF
battle, and the silent conflict which
noble men and women have with the
evil spirit in the solitude Of night, or
In the hustle Of the busy Gay, there IL
but slight difference.
When all things are considered, the
contentious Of the armies and the in
tentions Of the lone Individual, the
silent conflict is frequently the more
difficult of the two.
Accustomed for years to look on
pernicious habits with complacency,
the thoughtful man or woman fire.
quently awakens to the terrible wreck
he or she is making of opportunity
and life.
There is born In an instant a resolve
to break the trammels, to pull away
from perilous positions and seek
new haven of peace and safety.
Then begins the stern struggle in a
world hushed from the ears of others,
who may pass by without suspecting
the tumult in the soul of him or her
who is making last stand, fighting
valiantly inch by inch to overcome the
invisible enemy.
1t is easy to read about conquer
ing hero, but 1t requires hard exer-
ton of will power and unyielding
strength to become one.
Hitherto the man or woman had
found 1t good policy to drift along
blindly, but now, in the new light, all
things are changed.
That which yesterday was termed
honorable, will not in the transformed
being Of today, pass censorship.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"MAND DARN"

JUST as "chop suey' is un-
) known in China, Kangaroo"
is a term applied to the Aus
tralian animal by some ignorant
sailors and 'marmalade" bears
no relation to the fruit from
which it is usually made, ''man-
DARN" is Occidental rather than
Oriental In its origin.
To discover its origin we have
to dig back into IN. Portuguese
where we find the word man,lar
meaning to hold authority or to
govern, In turn derived from the
Latin mandaria, dominion. The
portuguese, who were among
the first to visit China, used a
derivative of this term as a
name for the Chinese governors.
and, from them, the word s.man-
DARN" spread throughout Eu-
rope, under the belief that it
was of native Chinese origin.
This belief has persisted to the
present day, much to the amuse-
ment Of Oriental visitors, who
class 1t in the same category
with other firmly implanted but
entirely erroneous ideas concern
ing the language and customs
of the East.

IN THE NATURE
OF THINGS
BY GRACE E. HALL

MAYHEM the founts of endeavor seem
empty and dry,
And the urge to press onward breaks
down in a sigh,
When your ensign Of hope like a bird
furls it's wings,
You are certain to fail-in the nature
Of things.
When you look on each day through the
folds of a shroud,
You are likely to note all the gray in
each cloud,
If you hear but dirge when the feath-
cred troupe sings
Then you're certain to lnourn-in the
nature of things.
II you give up the race through a feel
ing of doubt,
You will never go far on the roads
leading out;
But you'll pluck the ripe cluster wher-
ever it swings,
If you hold to your faith-in the ma
ture of things

NEW OAKLAND
To SURPRISE.
PUBLIC
Edward Wallace, of the Dis
trict Company, Discloses
Some Details of Model.

The long looked for news about
the latest Oakland Six creation will
be sprung tomorrow, and according
to the advance information that has
leaked out from authoritative
sources this car will prove SEN
sation.
1.-TWO years have been spent in
the development of the new Oak
land Six" says Ed. Wallace, of The
District Oakland Company.
There are so many sensational
features in this new car that it IS
next to impossible to take one up
without going into details about
therest. The cars themselves will
be here on display next week and
TIM everybody will be given the
opportunity to inspect them and
Judge for themselves.
I'm appearance they are the last
word in design and never before has
a motor car selling at the price OF
the Oakland approached it for
beauty.
Mechanically, it is an entirely
new model. Ideas and principles
have been worked out and after
proving practical habe been
adopted. It is SO far ahead of any
thing else SO far produced that ii
marks a ne wepoch in motor car
construction"

holes, etc. While some manufac-
turers are so far behind as to
continue to use oil holes in ex-
posed places. the owner of a car
using them should not let them be-
come filled with dirt. If owned
car with exposed oil holes OH
cross shafts and other parts, i
would have a mechanic install au-
tomato. oil feed cups.
Sometimes brakes are hard to op
crate after trip over muddy roads.
It is because dirt gets into the
joints at the brake bands and other
places In the braking system.
These parts cannot be properly
cleansed, merely by wiping them.
One must dismantle them TO get a
clean working surface that will OPP
crate freely when fabricated Clean
ing or this sort prevents rusting,
and certainly goes a long way to-
ward making for better handling
and ca" operation.
In filling the transmission and
rear axle with oil or other luhri-
cant be sure that the, filling hole
or opening is clean. Pouring oil
into a small opening with dirt all
around the outside is bad, because
the dirt goes right in with the oil.
Then you hear gear noise and
wonder how it happens so suddenly.
Universal joints, at best, are hard
to lubricate and, even if covered
with a leather boot, are not proof
against the ravages of dirt and
mud. The more dirt that you allow
to accumulate around these parts
the more dirt will get to the work
ing surfaces.
1t pays to have the car washed
underneath, but 1t also pays to wipe
the surfaces after spraying on wa
ter. The wiping is necessary be-
cause some Of the dirt sticks. Look
over the small parts Of your car,
the parts that are hard to see and
hard to get at. Also examine parts
that don't give you any trouble.
You don't have to do any more
than clean them and lubricate them
20 make them run for longer
period.

Steel Clip Comes in
Handy During
Emergency

A handy device to be carried
along with the equipment of a
car is clip for emergency
use in case of a broken spring
leaf.
The clip consists of two small
oblong pieces of steel, wide
enough to use over and under
the spring. These steel blocks
are held in place by two bolts,
thereby holding the leaves Sc
curely together. To adjust this
clip to any part of the broken
spring, the bolts should be not
less than four inches in length
and threaded all the way.
The use of lock nuts on the
bolts secures the clip against
vibration and keeps it from
working loose. This makes an
excellent temporary repair,
and will assure additional pro-
lection against having the ne
tire spring collapse.
