How Stone Bruise Will
Affect Automobile Tire

AS matter of fact, the term 'stone
bruise" is a mere figure Of speech and
should not be taken too literally. Tire
people use the term perhaps too freely
in referring to all those injuries that
occur upon the surface Of the casing
and do the real damage to the inner
part of the carcass. Rupture by shock
would be far better term and proba-
bly, would be far better understood in
all sections Of the country. A "stone
bruise," or rupture by shock can be
caused by the tire hitting a stone or
other obstruction In the road when
travelling at a fair rate of speed. Or
it may be caused by the casing coming
in more or less violent contact with
garage door, railroad track, rut, or,
in fact, any one Of a thousand objects
with which our roads are Uttered, eth
er by the action of nature or by the
intent or the carelessness of man. How
often have you seen a man place a
stone behind the rear wheel of car
stalled upon hill until he could make
his motor behave or until he could eff
feet a temporary repair. However,
when he started off he could BOT take
the stone with him nor could he run
back and kick it aside. The stone is
left there to bump the tire of the fol-
lowing car.-H. w. Slauson, in Les
lies

WATCH STEERING
Gear CAREFULLY
Merely Necessary to Keep
Joints Well Creased to
Operate Properly.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege of Automotve Engineering, Chicago)
According to automobile accidents
headlined in the country's newspapers
the steering gear of every automobile
should be painted a horrible bloody
red.
But are the newspapers right? Does
the steering gear really go wrong and
cause two-thirds of the motorcar acct
dents?. If it doesn't, why should it be
made the goat so generally?
Yet here we are soaring our motor
ing friends into the belief that they
can never tell when the steering gear
will go wrong, giving the manufactur
ers black eye, and Sinking our own
responsibilities. But between you and
me the thing is getting to be joke,
because when we blame the steering
gear as the cause of our accident.
people are likely to glance at one an
other sideways and give a knowing
wink. And they are the fellows who
watch their steering gears and inspect
them carefully. Then again they
watch their driving more and do not
turn the wheel wrong when the steer
ing gear is doing it's work properly.
Hence it is easily seen why some of
us are willing to blame the steering
gear-in other words, to pass the buck.
Keep Joints Well Creased.
To keep the steering gear operating
properly, 1t Is merely necessary to keep
Z the joints we'll packed with grease, or
graphite and grease mixed half and
half. The housing which holds the re-
duction gears at the bottom of the
steering column should be packed with
grease at least three times year. The
ball Joints at one end of the drag link
must be kept creased because the lu-
bricant leaks away from them rapidly,
no cover being provided. These require
frequent attention.
The ends of the tie rods are usually
fitted with bolts and these, too, must
be kept well creased. The steering
knuckle pins also need regular atten-
ton. Always keep in mind that the
various steering units are always in
constant motion, that every vibration
produces motion in the steering col
umn. Thus the need for fabrication is
very evident.
Cause Of Hard Steering.
Does your car steer hard? Then
here is the reason: The knuckle pins,
or king pins, have become dry, result
ing in a certain amount of binding.
Hard steering is the result. Oil these
every day, or every two weeks If
graphite is used.
Don't adjust the steering system to
compensate for wear unless you are
positive of the location of the trouble,
If wear occurs in the knuckle pins,
| it is useless to compensate for 1t by
adjusting the steering gears. If the
| drag link is bent 1t naturally must be
| Strengthened, for this causes stiff steer
ing. There Is an adjustment nut to
take up wear in the reduction gears
and this is right above the gear hous-
ing at the bottom of the steering post

exactly what parts are included in the
steering gear of your particular car

and was at one time its president He
was also made chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the National Guard
Association of the United States He
served in that capacity from 1903 to
1910.
When the World war broke out the
general took his place in the front
rank of duty. He was assigned as
major in the ordnance officers reserve
corps and was No. 1 on that list. For
a few months he served as assistant
chief of the division of small arms in
the Office Of the chief of ordnance at
Washington.
On June 6, 1917, he was assigned to
the First division of the A. E. F. He
went with that division to France in
that memorable June when the arrival
of the first small units of the Ameri-
can forces was hailed with such ac-
claim by the war-weary allies.
Immediately upon his arrival, Cen
eral Drain was assigned as one of that
group whose important duty it was to
study the methods of warfare as they
had been evolved in the long, snail
like progress of trench warfare. He
went to British and French armies to
study ordnance repair and supply.
New things in warfare continued to
occupy his attention On October L,
1917, he was called to the headquar-
tiers of the A E. f. as chief of the,
small arms and machine gun division.
Tanks, helmets, grenades and the like
occupied him here.
He became chief of the tank division
In November, 1917. He was the Amer
lean member of the Anglo-American
tank commission, which co-ordinated
the activities of the allies in the de-
sign, manufacture and issue of many
large tanks He was also ordnance
officer of the tank corps.
He returned home in May, 1919, and
was discharged in June following He
won the high distinction of the Distin-
guished Service medal, the Legion
d'Honneur and the Cross of the Crown
of Italy. He at once resumed the
) practice of law in Washington and
has given unstintingly of his time to
the American Legion and the many
movements which it has fostered for
the upbuilding of the nation.

UNIQUE MEMORIAL
IN HONOR OF DEAD

A light leaped up on the top of a
125-foot shaft in Madison square, says
the New York World, to burn there
steadily as a reminder to the living OF
the youth cut down on the battletields
of France, and of mothers who
weighed the lives of their sons against
the call to defend the nations honor
and made the sacrifice.
The eternal light" shaft, gift of
Rodman Wanamaker, was hewn from
a century-old pine IN the virgin forests
Of Oregon. 1t is surmounted by a
star and by a light that never will
dim A similar eternal light to the
memory of war dead burns on the
grave of the unknown soldier, under
meath L'Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Gold star mothers and Congressional
Medal wearers stood beside the hol-
low square of marines, soldiers and
sailors around the shaft as Mr.. Wanna
maker unveiled the inscribed pink
marble base of the shaft. A salute to
the dead reverberated from army can
non, and 1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner"
was played.
1--WE give this shaft to the city OF
New York in the name of those moth
ers we worship, who gave us those
heroes who paid the supreme sacrifice
on the field of valor," Mr.. Wanamaker
said. May it ever shine and be
guide to posterity in the interests of
liberty and freedom"
Mayor Hylan, who made the speech
of acceptance, declared he dedicated
the shaft to the mothers who placed
their own flesh and blood on the altar
of sacrifice, and that he further dedi-
Gated it to the ideals of the American
nation.
Maj. Gen Robert Lee Billiard spoke
in behalf of the army, and Rear Ad-
miral Charles P. Plunkett spoke for
the navy.

GENERAL DRAIN HAS
DONE GOOD SERVICE

Gen. James A. Drain of Washington,
D. c., prominent in activities of the
American Legion since the inception
of that organization, was chosen to
represent the Legion at the twentieth
anniversary conference on child labor
because of the intense interest which
the Legion has always taken in the
welfare of children and the solution
of their problems.
The conference was held at Wash
lngton in May, just prior to the adop-
ton by congress of the child labor
amendment to the Constitution, which
now goes to the states for ratification.
General Drain was active at the two
caucuses held in Paris at which the
American Legion was conceived. He
was commander of the District Of
Columbia department of the Legion
from May, 1920, to November, 1921.
During the same period he was mem
Der of the national executive commit
tee He was long chairman of the
Fourth district rehabilitation commit
tee.
At the last national convention of
the Legion General Drain was one of
the leading candidates for national
commander For several ballots he
battled with John r. Quinn, the pres
ent commander, for that high post.
A lawyer by profession, General
Drain has been located at Washington,
d. c., for 10 years. He served in the
National Guard of the state of Wash
ington, rising from private to brigadier
general From 1901 to 1906 he was
adjutant general of the state of Wash
ington
Interested in movements that made
for the upbuilding of the national de-

Transporting live stock to the mar
ket is much less of problem than it
used to be, now that the country is
building extensive systems of paved
roads. Adequate paved roads enable
the heavy use of motortrucks at all
seasons and under all conditions Of
weather, and by use of these trucks
live stock can be hauled to market
quickly and economically.
All Markets Benefit.
Virtually all the important live
stock markets Of the country-C hica-

Sioux City, st. Joseph, Mo-, and South
st. Paul-now benefit greatly by this
method of shipping animals. The In

one-half cupful of chicken stock we'll
seasoned, and one-half cupful of top
milk. Stir and cook until smooth and
well-cooked
Gelatin of Capon.--Bone capon and
remove and discard all the dark meat.
Cut the breast in halves lengthwise,
push wing and leg skin inside. Cover
the skin from which the dark meat has
been removed with breast meat. Fill
with forcemeat, draw the skin over
the forcemeat; tie in a double thick
ness of cheesecloth and steam over
the bones and dark meat. Remove,

PROBLEMS

Many stock raisers, who do not ship
all the way by motortruck, but de-
pend on trains to carry the stock part
of the way, have found that the mo-
tortruck Is the most satisfactory way
of getting the stock to the train. The
animals reach the market in much
better condition than they would If
they were driven many miles to a
railroad for loading. This method
also saves a great deal of time.
Valuable for Hogs.
In the shipment Of hogs the motor
truck method is especially valuable
in hot weather, for many hogs die
Of heat when shipped long distances
by train in the summer.
With good concrete roads, equally
good at all times, the farmer may
make rapid shipments at the time
when he can get the price for his
stock.

Adoption of Disabled
Veterans in Hospitals

Adoption of disabled veterans in
government hospitals in the state has
been authorized by the department
executive committee Of the American
Legion in Wisconsin. Proceeding on
the theory that many such men desire
to become Legionnaires but failed to
do so because of financial reasons,
each post will be asked to name GER
tain men in veterans bureau institu-
lions as members of post, dues to be
paid from the post treasury.

Duty of All Owners
to Keep Bolts Tight

Every automobile owner should y
apply a wrench to every impor-
tant nut and bolt on his car at
least once month. Nuts held
by cotter pins may be ignored,
but those held by loose washers
should be tried with wrench.
A loose part may easily wreck a
motor car and cause loss of life.
Many sermons are preached at
the motorist on the subject of
proper fabrication. There is one
part of the car that should be
kept properly fabricated regard
less of what may happen. This
is the steering column. This unit
is most vital of all to the safety
of the driver and the passengers.
1t is more than important-it is
essential-that the steering gear
be kept properly oiled all the
time.

"Bie Brother" Movement

The big brother" movement has
received considerable impetus in Read

lions have been appealed to, and the
Legion expects to make the movement
a city-wide affair. This will become
a regular activity of the post.
