Catalpas for Posts

Catalpa makes very good posts and
is noted forsthe durable quality Of the
wood. Catalpas were formerly used
for posts and rails and when their
value became known there were many
of them planted to be used as tele-
phone poles, posts and crossties. Be-
cause Of the ravages of the catalpa
sphinx, however, it has become a
hazardous proposition and large plant
ings are not recommended In Indiana.

Sweet Clover for Hay

Sweet clover sown in the spring will
give good hay crop by the middle Of
September If a good stand is obtained
and the soil is in good fertility. The
yellow variety Is usually considered
the best for hay. 1t is still question
whether 1t is best to sow oats with
sweet clover and the season is the
prime factor in the matter. If the
season is extremely dry the oats may
do more harm than good. IF oats are
sown only about two-thirds Of the
usual amount should be used.

Money in Trapping

The American farmers and their
sons are earning on the average Of
$5O,OO0OOO to $6O,0OO,OOO annually by
trapping the little fur-bearing animals
that abound in streams, lakes and
woods This sum can be greatly in
creased by the proper conservation of
the fur-bearers. Fur taken from an
animal that has been trapped before
its fur is prime" brings less on the
fur markets and makes very poor
quality of commercial fur goods.

Photographs displayed with this
giant cord tire make an extremely
interesting exhibit. One Of these
photographs shows how a small
coupe would appear If it were pos.
sible to equip it with set OF these
64x14-inch tires.
The mammoth tire has been built
for the United States army air serv.
ice and has been routed through
this city on its way to one Of the
Government flying fields. The fu-
ture purpose OF this and other sim
liar tires now being built has not
been disclosed, but it is assumed
the huge tire is to play a part in
important new aircraft develop
ments taking place in the Govern
ment's aiR service.
CONSTITUTIONAL details Of this big
tire are similar in many respects to
those Of the Goodrich balloon cord.
It Is extremely flexible for so large
q tire yet its great strength is evil
dent in the fact that 10000 pounds
is a normal load for it.
The giant tire will be on display
at the Goodrich branch for a week.
The Washington times., 1925-03-11

upon their shape and the work they
do. A hexagonal nut has six sides
to it's head, whereas an ordinary
nut, such as manufactures use to
bolt the tenders to the car, has but
four sides. In the bolt line four
sided type is known as q carriage
bolt and is used to bolt the body
to the frame. "A lock nut Is just
what its name implies. They are
found in the valve tappet assembly
where an extra nut is needed to
lock the adjustment of another one.
This by no means covers the
screws, bolts and nuts, but any
car owner who keeps them cata-
logued will find it far less difficult
to talk intelligently to mechanics or
order parts accurately. There Is,
however, much confusion over even
more common features OF the car.
Terms Make Difference.
The part that joins the end Of q
spring to the frame of the car Is q
spring shaclsle, but many owners
speak OF the shackles when they
don't mean. anything Of the sort.
The bolt that joins the frame to the
shackle is known as the shackie
bolt, while the one that joins the
shaclxle to- the end OF the spring
is known as the spring bolt. It
makes difference which you
specify.
A bushing is nothing more than
q bronze tube that acts as bearing
when inserted in some part that Is
to hold a bolt. The bushing takes
the wearing strain instead of the
parts. A cotter is a split pin with
q small, head. It's ends are spread
after 1t has been inserted in the
part It is to hold. The steering rod
on a car Is the one that runs
perpendicular to the front axle.
The other rod is the tie rod. It
provides for simultaneous steering
OF the two front wheels.
A felloe band finishes off the
circumference OF the wheel, and is
the baud upon which the demount.
able rim of the wheel rests. A turn
buckle is inserted between two rods
and brings them closer together or
spreads them farther apart. 1t Is
used in the layout Of mechanical
brakes for adjusting purposes.
Some Confusion Unavoidable.
Sometimes motordom itself Is at
fault, the nctorist being q victim
of lack of common agreement as
to what certain parts shall be called.
The pin which holds the upper end
Of a correcting rod to its respective
piston. for instance, is called both
wrist pin and piston pin." The
latter terminology Is growing in
popularity and It is certainly more
logical. In cases Of this sort the
motorist would be helping matters
by insisting upon the simpler term.
With an understanding of the
exact names of the various parts
of the car It is far easier to avoid
and in the bargain one
finds that the whole automobile be-
comes less Of q mystery.
Mystery, automotive experience
has shown, is always expensive.
Capyright, 1925.l
The Washington times., 1925-03-11

hold q nut on the inside of the
case during the Tightening opera
ton. Used this way, a bolt Is usual.
ly called a cap screw.
Bolts when used without nuts
are always held tight by means
Of q lock washer under the head
This type of washer Is similar to
the ordinary metal ring washer ex'
cept that It is split at one point.
The ends, therefore, tend to spread
and lock.
Another Point Of Confusion.
Another small part Of the auto
mobile subject to confusion is the
stud. Al stud is a thread pin de-
signed to screw into a suitable open
Ing. It's purpose is to hold two
parts together for, being long, ii
can be turned down far enough to
screw into the two parts being
Joined. 1t is then locked into po-
sition by means OF q bolt. The
best example Of this Is found On the
cylinder head of the average engine.
Here the studs run through the
head and into the cylinder block,
holding the two together. Some
times when q nut Is looeened, the
stud viii unscreW with 1t, thus
giving the owner the impression
that the two are one and that the
combination Ii q bolt.
Cap screws. which are bolts with
out q nut, are sometimes provided
with q slot across the head so that
they can be screwed in or Gut
by means OF q screwdriver as well
as q wrench. But when the head
is round 50 that 1t does not take
q wrench it is known as q ma
chine screw.
In the parts departments, screws
and bolts are often given the name
OF the parts with which they are
used. Thus, II machine screw is
to be used to hold something else
in place II ID known as a set
screw. II IL adjusts something 1t
il known AZ an adjusting screw.
You win find samples Of these on
the average carburetor. In e.
similar way q pawI screw is q
screw that fastens q pawl to a
brake lever. pawl being q pivoted
tongue, or sliding bolt.
Nuts are subject to q great
variety 81 names as well. depending

AUT0|STS SAVE.
SOME TAX ON
INCOMES
Registration Fee and Drivers
License Can Be Deducted
on Pleasure Cars

Deduction allowed taxpayers in
connection with the maintenance Of
automobiles are the subject OF fre.
quent inquiries from motorists, and
the Chicago Motor Club, upon in
vestigating the subject last year,
was informed Of g. ruling of the
Internal Revenue Bureau that per-
mits the deduction Of automobile
registration fees, drivers licenses,
and personal property taxes from
the gross income In computing the
Federal income tax. If all motor
lists avail themselves OF this priv.
ilege the saving to the motorists Of
the country will be approximately
81, 3,OOO, 900.
An interview with Mabel G.. Rem
ecke, collector Of internal revende
in Chicago, establishes the follow
ing facts:
Garage bills, gasoline bills and
repair bills may be deducted as bus
mess expense when the automobile
is used wholly for business. pur-
poses:' when used partly for bUsi.
ness purposes the cost may be pro-
rated, and the part attributable to
business deducted as a business
expense.
