TEACHERS IN CIVIC AFFAIRS

The time seems almost ripe Tor abandoning the
ancient Jokes about the mpractcaity eI the acaaehc

rahar lively fashion in practical affairs of all sorts
Politics particularly appears to nave maze room Ior
them They are plucked from the halls OF learning 10
sit IN cabinets; they help write municipal charters;
they frequently Tor hlgh oIllceS ana sometimes
they are elected they serve IN diplomatic capacities;
thev are sent abroad on special commissions.
On the whole, too, they make good IN ell these
tasks lust as they made good in their professional ca
pacty before they received public recognition OF their
ability. ,
This looks as though a different attitude toward
the profession gianng strength 1t has often been
said in the past that the teachers service to the com
ronitv was not sufficiently appreciated, that pract-
cal persons in business political or other groups
rather look down upon the school teacher as Delhg
visionary and unable to cope with the facts OF business
or political life
whether this marks change solely in the public
mind or whether it indicates genuine change IN the
nrofessional mind it is difficult to In either case

ExAsPERATING NOM ENTs OF A MoToRisJ

cautioned against using poor oil or
old oil in their engines and the reason
generally given is that inferior oil
spells bearing trouble as well as
scored cylinders. But there is an
other reason why the quality of the
oil in the crankcase should be
as important as the quantity and
that is because the engine acces-
sorry gears are dependent upon the
general engine oil for their lubri-
cation. There are the front + end
gears to be considered in everXl en-
CINE. The only way the owner can
keep them properly fabricated is. to
keep the engine properly lubricated.
The designers of cars apparently
assume that the owner will be care
full to keep the engine properly
fabricated and that he will thus
automatically guard against trouble
with the accessory drive. But all
owners do not act according to
Hoyle, and frequently the bearings
of All engine will stand more abuse
from poor oil than will the gears of
the accessory drive or the timing
gears.

on the road, save for few local
runs. The through cars run the en-
tire length of the road, $50 Ii Gao
miles) every day, at an average
speed of 33 miles per hour. The
drivers are without exception Chin
csc, who cannot understand why
anything made Of iron and steel
should not be made to go as fast as
it can, so they step on it. AS YOU
can see from the picture, the cars
are busses,' and are always loaded
to capacity. Capacity consists of
ten passengers with their bedding
rolls, and numberless pieces of lug
gage. This gives some idea of the
fearful strain put upon the motors,
and though I have made the trip
many times, | have yet to experience
any trouble with the motor. Though
some of the cars have been driven
over the ef.~e of the road. they are
simply pulled back again by the
phlegmatic Celestial, and soon are off
again in cloud of dust.
AS is possibly known the world
over, the Chinese is nearer akin to a
calculating machine than anything
else that can boast flesh. and blood.
They will weigh a proposition a day
before running the risk Of losing a
dollar. Yet the road officials have
just contracted for sixty new

from the use of anti-freezing solu.
tions the previous winter.
Most garages and car owners do not
adjust the fan tension properly.
Proper adjustment must be made for
mountain driving. The motor should
have the benefit of the air outSut OF
the fan. To gain this 1t is necessary
that the fan belt be so tight that
when the fan blades are grasped with
the hand It is impossible TO turn the
fan. This adjustment is extremely
important in aiding the motor up the
long hard grades. and should be
checked from time to time during the
trip il very much mountain driving
is done as some fan belts stretch and
lose their tension quickly.
Remember that the fan-is not
tight enough for mountain driving, Il
YOU can turn the fan blade with your
hands.

Chinese "Step on Her"
When Driving Bucks"

A letter to the Buick Motor COM
pany from Truman +. McCrea OF
Hwanghsien. Shantung, China, says:
I'm the distance can be seen the
north gate tower and the walls of
Tengchowfu, ancient seat of learn
ing and culture. and still ultracon-
sentative. In the foreground is the
yard of the Chefoo- Weihsien Motor
station, with some of the fleet OF
Bucks in operation on the road TO
the right and left. The wall is in
most parts exactly as it was built
about 400 B. c., while the road was
completed in 1922; furnishing an in
teresting contrast in ancient and
modern. This. however. is not 'the
point that strikes one as he watches
the performance of the Bucks; it is
the similarity between the sturdy
performance of the motors, aud the
time-defying solidity of this city wall.
when operations on the road
were first started, there were eight
makes of cars in competition: five
American, one French, and two Ger
man. Most of the cars quickly
dropped out of the race. and their
places were supplied by Bucks.
There are now no cars except Bucks
