Ways for Using Hammer
in Making Car Repairs

Care in the use of the machinist's
hammer, which forms a part of the
tool equipment of every automobile, II
one of the first things the amateur au-
tomObile repairman must learn when
working around the engine, says
writer in the American Motorist. With
this hammer he can do more damage
in moment than good man can re
pair In week. His first inclination
Is to use this form of persuasion on
any and every refractory part, and
this is desire which should be over
come.
Not only should the hammer itself
not be used on any metal parts with
out the Intervention of block Of
wood to protect the surface but caro-
must be exercised to avoid hitting the
other parts through the inaccuracy Of
aim that distinguishes the unskilled
wielder Of this tool.
A poorly-aimed blow that misses Its
target and lands on one of the valve
push rods or similarly vulnerable parts
with any degree of force is apt to
cause trouble of an expensive nature.
1t Is good thing for the novice to
be sparing in the use of his hammer
as cure-all. Do not resort to It I'M
necessarily, and do not use sledge-
hammer blow where a light tap will
do the work.

Forced Noting Causes
Egg Production to Stop

Inc common idea that If hens nre
c"thpeIIen to mott early they will
quickly feutb"r out and commence law
ing early in the winter Is erroneous.
concludes the New Jersey College Of
Agriculture at New Brunswick after
several years OF observation.
Laying hens should be allowed to
mott naturally. An early molt does
not signify quick resumption of pro-
ductlon. Usually the Iate-molting hen
Is the heavier producer. In fact, a
lack Of feather growth Is one of the
things to look for when selecting hens
Tor holding over second yea, for
the breeding pen.
Very often show birds are forced
into II mott by restriction of feed.
ms Is done so that the birds may
be in full feather once more for the
SHOW season. This should never be
nracticed with utility stock. 1t will
cause production to stop and will
weaken the hens at time OF the year
when their full strength is needed.
1t is unwlse to change the general
character of the feed during the molt.
The addition Of some Oil-carrying In
gredlent, however, such as sunflower
Sced, will aid in the development Of
new feathers.

TREES AND
VINES GETS RESULTS

IL Is always advisable to give the
fruit trees and vines some needed at
tention in the. form of pruning. A
rev hours careful work with the prun-
Ing shears and hook will greatly in
crease future fruit yields.
On the average farm the grape
probably receives the least pruning of
any of the fruit plants. Too often.
when pruning Is done. the vines are
pruned by the spur system instead of
The long cane system which horticuI
turists advise.
Grapes are produced on shoots
which spring from one-year-od wood
and the pruning of the vine is there
lore primarily renewal proposition.
A certain amount of wood Of the pre-
vious years growth must he saved
each year for fruit production and
provision made for renewal growth
which can be used the folio ing year.
In pruning vine according to the
long cane system canes that grow well
back on the body of the vine should
lie saved instead of selecting those
that are farthest away from the base
Df the vine. -Four to six long canes
with a total of thirty-five to fifty buds
should he enough to produce good
crop on one vine. 1t is good plan
to leave few spurs attached to the
main body of the vine and two or
three feet above ground. These will
send out new canes to produce the
Following years crop. The best fruit
Ing cane is that which is about as
thick as lead pencil and carries ten
to twelve buds.
by selecting long canes in the main
part of the vine for fruiting, the vines
can be kept from spreading over a
lhrse area and much useless wood
growth may be dispensed with.-Wal-

Handle Bees Carefully
to Prevent Excitement

In handling bees walt until the day

so that they will not be disturbed
any more than necessary. 1t Is not
good for bees to be disturbed very
much, as unnecessary handling will
cause excessive activity. This activity
may cause the queen to lay more eggs
than the hive can properly take care

The June l7th Convention


All the elements of the classes
which are participating in the revolt
against and split from the old capt.
talist parties will be represented in
the st. Paul convention on June
18th. But the probability of the
class farmer-labor party elements
the rank and file workers and poor
+ arm er s-predominating will be
greatly increased by the aggressive
role of the Workers Party in the
campaign for the convention and the
tendency of the third party elements
(including the labor bureaucrats,
who are ideologically a part of the
petty bourgeoisie) to turn to the
Cleveland Conference of the C. p.
2. A. or to some other center which
may be created by the La Toilette
group to serve as the nucleus of the
third party.
Our task at the June 18th Con-
vention will be to strengthen and
clarity its class character, fight for
the adoption of class program, or
ganize it into class party separate
and distinct from the Cleveland con-
ference or any other third party
conference which may be held. The
party formed there shall negotiate.
thru committees, with other confer
ences on the question of common
campaign or common candidates only
as an organized body.
At the st. Paul Conference we
shall nominate and fight for prole-
tartan candidates as against any 9TH
er candidates at the conference. We
shall utilize the conference to lay
the basis for the organization of
the farmer-labor party turnout the
country and also advance there the
proposal and plans for an economic
organization Of farmers to serve
as the foundation for their political
organization.
Preparations for June 18th.
It is necessary to throw the last
ounce of the Party's energy into the
campaign to make the June 18th
conference tremendous mass gath

and poor farmers. We must UNDER

ground that June 18th alone is the
center around which the whole class

The Farmer-Labor Party and The

While we carry onsour campaign
for the organization of a class farm
er-labor party, we must at the same
time try to drive the third party
forces to split away from the old cap
italist parties. And if this split
takes place and third party is or
ganized. which is an expression of re-
volt against Wall Street and which
is not merely another capitalist par
ty, the farmer-labor party must make
an election alliance with it against
the old capitalist parties and the
capitalist government. Such an al
lance, however, shall not take the
form of organizational unity be-
tween the class farmer-labor party
and the third party, but Of common
campaigns against the capitalist par

paddock CHICAGO CAFE

The Hollywood cafe, one of the
most notorious of Chicago's BLACK
and tan" cabaretS. was padlocked
for one year on July II by Federal
Judge James Wilkerson on request
of Assistant United States District
Attorney J. A. O'Callahan. Sew
eral attempts had been made by the
police to close the place but they
were cnjoined from interference by
state courts. Mrs. Elizabeth Gran
dell, Investigator for the Juvenile
Protective Association, testified that
when she visited the place she found
the negro proprietors had white
girls working for them, going from
table to table visiting unattached
male patrons.
"The prohibition law is justified
if for no other reason than that it
gives an opening for closing places
like this" said Mr.. O'Callahan in
arguing for the injunction.
