Did You Know

That much of the wear on the
treads OF balloon tires is caused by
turning corners too fast? Because
cars are lower with balloon tires and
traction is greatly increased there is
a tendency to go faster when turning.
While the driver does not feel it the
car sllids a little and the tires take
the. punishment.
That some carburetors have as many
as four adjustments although the in
struction book will show the car own
err only one or, two places to make an
adjustment? The extra adjustments
are made at the factory and are sup
posed to be correct for all varieties of
driving conditions. They usually reg
ulate the acceleration or prevent ex-
cessively rich mixtures under certain
conditions. There are times, however,
when these other adjustments may
need to be touched. particularly If the
service station mechanics have failed
to obtain proper results with the reg
ular adjustment or adjustments.
That gaslset leaks, spark plug leaks
or petcock leaks can be detected by
squirting a few drops of engine oil
around the suspected points? If there
are leaks present bubbles will form.
In detecting a leak around the intake,
however, 1t is necessary to work along
different lines for 1t is then matter
of dealing for a suction leak and not a
compression leak. The simplest meth
cd is to release a mouthful of cigar
cite smoke around the intake and note
whether the smoke is sucked In at any
points. Before conducting the test II
Ia best to disconnect the fan so that
the smoke will not be blown away.

same, or as good finish. But of late
the motorist seems to have overlooked
the fact that the same thing applies
to performance. A car may perform
just as well, when new, as a more ex-
pensive car, and yet be simply an i'm
itation.

it even occurred to me there
wasn't enough play in the steerin

nelp the owner. The trouble was that
the car steered hard only when. as in
gettin' off to one side of a rough road,
he was obliged to pull hard on the
wheel to straighten the cars course
again. If he had told me so I would
have put my finger right on the trou-
BILE. I would have known that the
whole steerin' gear was loose on the
frame. When he tugged hard on the
wheel the gear and bearin's were

too much clearance, and of course
after, went through the preliminaries

too little clearance. Had he Just told

just slightly loose key in the wheel,

PLACED BEFORE GERMAN VOTERS
Character of Great american adopted Ideal b,

''Liues' of Emancipdtor.

ton is whether the medieval idea
which he represents is suitable for
modern times and present ideals.
The issue is not German foreign
policy. but the worldS attitude to-
ward Germany; not immediate resti-
tuition of the monarchy. but the future
development of Germany along ma
tionalistic. imperialistic, aggressive
lines or along humanity pacific roads
to a fellowship of peoples.
Hindenburg himself despises poll
tics and possesses only a specialized
culture. He lives in an atmosphere of
military alteration in his house, in
Hanover, remote from the porblems
of the modern world, dreaming of the
glorious past of kaiserdom and scorn-
full of internationalistic efforts and
dreams.
Avoids All Contacts.
From the heights of his achieve
ments and dignity the general looks
benevolently down upon his German
people, whom he is willing to conduct
back to the prosperous days of Will
helm. He practically refuses to see
any one and avoids contacts with the
press, which can only be made by
correspondence. He considers the in
Stitution of the press a misfortune
and that it's influence can be destroyed
by ignoring it.
Hindenbufg is today in the hands of
his friends. His mail is opened by
those about him. The old marshal
never answers the telephone himself
His entire attitude seems to wipe out
100 years of cultural, technical and
social development. Therefore the an.
tithesis to Lincoln is perfect, and Ger
man voters, forty million strong, will
be asked to decide whether they wish
a paternalistic government for the
people or a government of and by the
people as well.

BERLIN, April 15.-Abraham Lin
coin. the greatest statesman of the
worlds largest democracy, has be-
come the leader of the German Re
publican parties in the electoral cam
paign.
Lincoln, according to German Dem
ocrats, was the most sublime type of
a leader of the people, who found it
possible to carry out state policies,
not against the will of stupid sheep
but as leader of a conscious people,
who only asked to be informed and
well led as the price of their adher-
enCe.
Books Are Distributed.
A new small biography of Lincoln,
written by Count Mongelas, a Demo
cratic writer and politician, who rep
resented Germany unofficially at last
years assembly of the League of Ma
tons, has been published and millions
of copies scattered broadcast by the
Democratic parties as symbol of
their hope and ideal for new Ger
many.
Defends Lincoln Statue.
Count Mongelas, who is a competent
art critic, takes occa sion to defend the
Barnard statue of Lincoln against its
critics, saying that it gives the es-
sence of the man rather than mere
portrait, and thereby raises Lincoln to
the level of a universal symbol, valid
for all who believe the common people
are the seed bed of greatness.
Whether this propaganda will ap-
peal to the German people will be de-
cided at the election on Sunday,
