Soon after the end OF this year

receive s1,0S6,OOO cash and $500
shares Of new common stock
which at current market prices Is
worth $1,364,00O. This total Of
So, 100000 is the participation Of
these employees In the Savings and
investment Fund, class Of 1919,
into which these employees paid
$500 from their wages and have
left with the corporation for q
period of five years. This distribn.
ton therefore represents better
than So for 81 paid into the fund
by employees.
During each year, since the
establishment Of the savings fund,
in 1919, new class is formed, each
maturing in five years. Employees
are given the right to pay in to
each class as 1t is formed 10 per
cent of their annual wages, no. to
exceed $500. Under the present
plan the corporation agrees 10 put
into an investment fund which is
credited to the employees over q

employee pays in to the savings

semiannually at the rate Of per

WHAT TO DO WHEN
PUSH RODS ARE NOISY

On overhead valve engines, the
push rods become noisy when the
guides are worn, due to the side
slap on the rods caused by their
motion. An effective and easily
made silencer, which need never
be removed is made by clamping
strip of wood against the side
of the engine in back of the push
rods.
A piece of soft leather is tackled
to the strip in back OF each rod
so that there is slight pressure
exerted against the back side Of
each. This prevents any side play
of the rods and stops the objec.
tionable clicking sound. The pres.
sure Of the feathers should not be
great enough to hinder the move.

because there is no planning, no
effort to determine whether the par.
ticular job is the most suitable for
the given conditions, there are ell
sorts Of fabrication troubles to de-
yelolp the need for frequent recourse
to the repair snop.
Because some owners guard their
time so carefully they will even go
to the extreme OF ordering more
oil for the engine than is actually
necessary. Sometimes this win re.
suit in the addition of a half quart

No. 29 Always Learning
prepared BY the Public In
formation Committee Of the
Washington AutOmOtiye Trade
AssociatiOn.)

1t seems to be a habit with
drivers who have managed to get
safely over the rough spots of the
early days OF their motoring to for.
get that a good driver Is always
learning. When some newcomer
appears on the scene doing some
foolish stunt they are inclined to
remark, "He's learning" or Hell
learn" just as though the learning
process were something confined to
ones first month at the wheel.
The habit has grown to such d.
rnensions that q lot of people auto
maticalfy divide the population into
two groups: those who are lerning
to drive and those who know how.
This is unfortunate, because 1t keeps
a lot Of people from discovering how
little they know about driving even
though they are more nearly in the
second group.
Newcomers. are led to believe that
having passed through the first
stages they are justified in consid.
ering themselves "as good as the
rest" They have no way Of know.
ing that this Is bad enough.
There would be much safer and
more satisfactory motoring X mo
florists would stop drawing this
untrue distinction between those
who are learning and those who are
supposed to know how. Drivers
who are always learning are al
ways doing their share to prevent
accidents, cut costs, obviate trouble
and make their cars more useful.

FIRING OF WEALTH

Most "of us don't think We, would get tired of too many riches. But occasionally it happens.
 There are many such. EngrOssed in making money the greater part of their lives they cheat themselves of the time it takes to widen their mental horizon.
 One would think that a person with sufficient money laid up to in- sure leisure would be able to par take of his opportunities. He could travel with satisfaction and profit, read books iptelligentIy, be interested in the drama, sit spell bound at the fount of music flowing in our con- cert halls, aid innumcrable organi- cations existing for the uplift and benefit of man or be Identified with them, or seek to serve mankind.
 There are some persons who be- come wealthy and miss the oppor- tunity to enjoy their wealth and utilize it for the benefit of their fel- low passengers on this planet merely because they neglected their minds while they were chasing the eagles and the greenbacks.
 This is a deplorable personal estate and by no means common one. Mere possession of money does not mean that the possessor can look at great painting and appreciate the artists work; it does not mean that such a money laden individual can read masterpieces of Literature or books freighted with knowledge and understand tn em; it does not mean that being loaded with money necessarily implies being mentally equipped to appreciate the beauties 1 of a symphony,
 How poyerty-stricken can mere accumulation of money-bags make a man.
