Method to End Body
Squeaks on Machine

Here is a simple trick that
any motorist can use which will
help very materially in elimi-
mating body squeaks. Before
washing the a apply a mixture
of kerosene and ~lubricating oil
around the body crevices. After
this is done rock the a in or
der to allow the lubricant to
penetrate. 1t is also advisable
to let up on the body bolts and
back them up with grease. The
grease will work over the sur
face of the bolt upon Tightening

education at all, according to a mes
sage from the President of the Repub-
lie to the congress. 1t is estimated
that more than 10000 new classrooms
are needed to provide places for these
children. Many owners of buildings
have offered free classroom space to
boards of education, and additional
classes will be installed as early as
possible. BY the provisions Of law
passed in July 1923, it is now possible
to remedy in part the great shortage
Of teachers, which has been one Of

PLANNING FOR SPRING TERM

Shortly after the new year has
opened the long spring term of school
begins. Too often before its close in
May or June children and teachers
are tired, worn, and listless and the
time spent in the schoolroom be-
comes weary drag This ought not
to be the case The school work
should be so arranged as to take full
advantage of the more active life of
spring and made so interesting that
school closing is a matter of regret
rather than rejoicing.
