The postoffice which has been
maintained at McComber has been
discontinued and an effort is being
made to establish the Office at Robin

enced in getting someone to take the
position of postmaster but it is
thought that someone at the d.

place. With the resumption of work
at the McComber mine it is felt
that postoffice is needed.

MOTORING IN PAR
WORTH A TRIAL
Mixing Golf Idea With Driv-
ing Results in Better
ing Latter.

PAR motoring is the new idea con
tributed to automobile ownership by
several golfer-motorists, who contend
that motoring'S relation to golf is
more than matter of convenient
transportation to the links.
Most drivers are not shooting par
on the streets and highways" says
one Of them. There is a tendency to
take too many strokes per mile. It's
poor driving, and unnecessarily So"
The golfers in question are begin
ming to view drive down a boule-
ward as composed of so many inter
sections, or holes, with a par of
strokes, or operations, to be taken by
the driver
According to one of them, the av-
erage driver. unlike the golfer, does
not figure on hazards. In the COM
parison that has been drawn the
driver is pictured making little effort
to run as far along the block as pos
sible without having to make d stop,
even though il should be evident to
him that he will lose strokes toward
the end of the block, where the COM
plications of the intersection present
themselves.
The golfer always tries TO improve
his putting, they show, since a game
is often won on the green. The mo-
torist often stops short of the white
line and then, going into low gear,
Creeps up to il, thus taking two
strokes where one should have been
plenty.
One golfer suggests that two or
three important streets in the city be
covered by a dozen skillful drivers and
an average of operations be taken for
each street. This would divide the
blocks into 50 many operations. which
would be considered par. Then the
average driver could check his driv-
ing against the average of the skillful
drivers and see for himself how good
or how poor he is.

II was one of those days when
Smith would prefer to do anything un-
der the sun rather than monkey with
the car. He had spent a busy week
and Sunday afternoon presented an
excellent opportunity, he thought, to
ride off the effects. But John Smith,
jr., had different ideas about it.
What's that for?" son asked, look
ing a bit startled as though the engine
had suddenly acquired some new and
mysterious part.
Whats what?" Smith demanded,
jumping out of the drivers seat to
have closer view.
The boy pointed TO a metal eXten-
sion which ran from each side of the
rear of the engine to the frame.
These are the legs of the motor, )"
the motor was attached to the frame,
anyway
But where are the front legs?" the
boy asked.
Smith a Bit Puzzled.
Smith was just about to point to the
metal casing of the timing gears when
he noticed that they did not join the
frame. Hastily he looked around for
something to point to, but, finding
nothing, he began to look puzzled.
Then he hesitated.
Maybe the front legs have broken
off" son suggested. And, listen dad,
why can't these two rear legs hold the
engine themselves? The engines s
heavy enough to stay where you
put it,"
1T is, eh?" Smith queried. well,
you've got another guess coming. How
about the fiywheel at the rear of the
engine? Do you think an engine
would stand still if it wasn't bolted to
the frame? Even a rough road would
throw it out of position"
But" the inquirer started to
add.
Now. wait a minute Smith urged.
4 want to find out where the front
legs of the motor are. If il isn't
anchored up here somewhere the mo-
ton of its shaft and the up-and-down
action of its pistons would make 1t
bounce at the front end
Just at that point neighbor hap
pened to notice Smith puZzling over
the motor and, thinking there was
something wrong, stepped over to in
quire as TO whether he could help out.
The boys just asking a lot of
Evening star., 1925-08-16

foolish questions" Smith explained.
But it led to a point that interests
me. We're trying to find where the
engine is anchored to the frame at
the front"
The neighbor gave the engine
hasty inspection and explained the sit
uation.
This is what is called three-point
suspension, he said. I'm other
words, the engine is attached to the
frame. on a triangular basis; two legs
at either side Of the rear and one leg
in the front at the center The rear
legs are extensions of the engine base
and bolt directly to the frame; but at
the front the engine rests on the CEN
ter of a steel cross member of the
frame. The advantage of this is that
while the motor is held firmly attached
it is more flexible than If attached at
two places at the front.
The front wheels cover very un-
even surfaces at times, with the re-
suit that one wheel is sometimes six
inches higher than the other. The
front springs take up most of this
inequality, but sometimes the frame
has a tendency to warp. You can see
what might happen to the engine if it
were rigidly attached to the channels
of the frame at the front instead of
10 the center of the cross-member.
With three. point suspension the front
of the engine is sort of pivoted to the
center of the cross-member. It's
somewhat on the order of the boys
sled"
Questions Not So Foolish.
BY this time Smith, jr., had slipped
away. but Smith. sr., was taking in
the details of three point suspension"
and was ready to admit that foolish
questions often lead to wise answers.
These three points of suspension
ought to be examined occasionally, ."
the neighbor added. Sometimes if
the motor has been roughly used, or If

it Is not we'll balanced, 1t will tend to
loosen the bolts; and If one of these Is
allowed to remain loose the motor will
develop a humping noise which will
be heard all over the car. Sometimes
one of the rear legs may crack, with
the same result. This can be welded
It is a good plan whenever the car has
struck particularly bad hole in the
road, or been in a collision, to examine
the motor base and legs for a crack
1t isn't a question of looking for trou-
BILE, but merely of forestalling the pos
sibility of serious trouble by catching
1t in it's infancy"

Advances on Canned Goods
To Northwest Held Up
BY Commission

Washington, Mar. 3l.--Freight
rate advances on all canned goods,
including condensed and evaporated
milk, which railroads proposed to
put into effect tomorrow between
producing points in Minnesota, Mich
igan, Illinois and Wisconsin and
Canadian and Eastern consuming
points, were held up today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
until July 80. An investigation will
be- made meanwhile.
Illustrating the increase proposed
the commission said the charge per
hundred pounds on canned goods
moving from Lacrosse, Wis. to New
York City would have been advanced
from 66 cents to 1874 cents, while
from Fond du Lac, Wis. to New
York, the new rate would have been
67h cents, as compared with 6Oc
at present.

FACTS FOR TAXPAYERS
Statisticians Are At Work

Someone sagely remarked that there were
three kinds of liars: PLAIN liars darn liars and
statisticians. And now busy at work
to befuddle the taxpayers. JUST LOOK AT YOUR
TAX RECEIPTS; they tell the whole truth.
Some propagandists, on the other hand ought to
employ schoolboy to get correct basic figures.
We examined some OF their figures for 1919 and
then quit in disgust The total tax levy for 1919
was $87,428.OO and not 500, 1856 as claimed by
the Lenhart "Experts." Just multiply the total
assessed valuation by the tax rate and you will
get the right figures. Or, examine the original
records in the office of the county auditor and learn
where you went astray. Again, "the amount levied
for running expenses in 1919 was not $84, $1,000
claimed by the Lenhart campaign committee
but $7O,558.OO. The total tax levy was $87428O0
less $1687OO 90 for sinking funds ETC.. which leaves
$7O558 90 according to the subtraction rules taught
in school. Therefore, the running expenses since
1919 have INCREASED not decreased as claimed
by the committee. 1t knocks their computations to
smithereens. Just do the little computating sug-
gested above, and then check our figures with the
certificate Of City Auditor c. L. Burton on file in
the county auditors office for the sinking fund.- etc.
figures. Also better revise your basic figures and
your tables before impugning other peoples hon
esty, and then perhaps we shall look them over
some more.
Oh no, the impeccable Lenhart committee can
not make any misleading" statements. Perish the
thought! But the compilations on file in the
office OF the state tax commissioner and used by
the Lenhart committee, might also have permitted

CAPITAL CITY

CONVENTIONS
Campaign Waged to Secure
Convention A Day For
Washington
BY HARRY p. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

Washington, March 31.-"A con-
vention a day will keep hard times
away"
Such might be stated as the slo-
gan of Washington interests,
which, facing nine months of con-
gressional absence, with a conse-
quent slump in business foreseen,
are organizing to make the capital
city the convention headquarters of
the nation.
Three hundred conventions a year
is the aim of Washington's new
convention bureau"
If that can be achieved, then the
hotels can be kept filled, the rub
ber-neck wagons and taxi cab COM
panies supported, and business gen.
orally assisted over the slack per-
iod.
"A campaign will be waged to
"sell" Washington to the country
as the ideal convention city, where
between sessions delegates can
visit spots of historic interest, ac-
quire new knowledge of the gov
eminent and its organization and
brush up on patriotism and poll
tics.

the capital guides are still on the
job.

BLACK FAVORS
STATE WORK
ON 2 BRIDGES
Wants N. D. Engineers To
Make Surveys at Sanish
and WillistOn

W. G.. Black, chief engineer of the
State Highway Commission, announc-
ed today that he favors use Of the
engineering force of the State High
way Commission in building the pro-
posed Missouri river bridges at Will
liston and Sanish rather than letting
a contract for engineering work.
When the Highway Commission, on
April 6, receives bids for making of
preliminary surveys, soundings and
preparation of plans and specifica-
tons, Mr.. Black will recommend
that the Commission reject all bids
and follow policy adopted in the
building Of the bridge over the Red
River at Pembina.
81 believe the engineers of the
Highway Commission are fully COM
petent to undertake this work." Mr.
Black said. Investigation of the
construction of bridges in South Da.

heretofore used in construction OF

tation with engineers of the Bureau
of Public Roads, who have offered
to US free of charge the services OF

conclusion that the policy inaugural.
