Springs ofrAutomobile
Are the Most Neglected

The real orphans, the neglected or
phans of motordom, are the springs
on the average mans motorcar, ac
cording to the viewpoint of a manager
of large lubrieating company, who
adds:
"Show me a man who gives the
springs of his automobile the attention
they need and I'll show you a wise
motorist. Without doubt the springs
are the most neglected part of the
automobile The average owner treats
them like orphans. He assumes, APP
parently, that they'll go ahead and do
their work with little, if any. help from
him
And you really can't blame him for
such neglect. The cleaning and oiling
of greasy, dirty. rusty springs is any
thing but an inviting job, especially on
a Sunday morning. Yet it pays to take
care of them, not alone in the greater
riding comfort you'll get from the
springs that are working as they
should, but also in the protection that
engine parts receive"

Auto Speeder PenaIized
bv Increased Tire Bill

A high-grade tire on a racing car
will sometimes stand up as far as 500
miles, about one-twentieth of the life
of tire operated under ordinary con-
ditions. This difference in tire service
is due directly to d difference in the
heat developed.
Heat exerts deteriorating effect
on rubber In proportion to the in
tensity and length of time. the rub
Der is exposed to it. Running at high
speed quickly raises the temperature
Of a tire. This heat results from the
internal friction set up in the tire
carcass.
Tires are designed to resist the
effects of heat produced by ordinary
everyday car operation, but they can
not long remain intact when mighty
heated by continuous speeding. The
tire bills of the speeder are likely to
be higher than those of the driver
who proceeds at moderate pace.

Automobile Development
Changes Road Building

The rapid development Of automo-
bile traffic is making radical changes
in road building and creating an ex-
traordinary demand for new highways,
says DR.. Arthur Selwyn Broad in the
New York Herald-Tribune. No other
factor since the early days Of military
engineering, when roads were required
for military purposes primarily, has
led to so much road building. Through
out the world there has been, or is
being, constructed an enormous mile
age of automobile roads and IN the
United States and Canada, where %
years ago few good state and provin-
cial highways existed, there have been
built highways that will bear compare
son with the finest in the world.

LEGION ACTIVE IN
WELFARE SERVICE

Active work in the setting up of
American Legion child welfare service
in various states, reaching down from
the children's welfare division of ma
tional headquarters to. the local com
munity, is being pushed rapidly.
The first states in which organization
work is being completed are New
Hampshire, Washington and Oregon.
State conferences have been held in
Utah and Colorado, with Tennessee
scheduled to go. Preliminary confer
ences have been held In Kansas and
Kentucky, with Illinois. Indiana and
Iowa next in line.
The aim of the division, according
TO John w. Gorby of the division staff,
is to organize representative states in
various sections of the country, which
typify as widely different conditions
as possible. When the organization is
completed. 1t will cover the entire ma
ton.
The first organization meeting was
held in New Hampshire with keen in
terest. Eighty per cent of the coun-
ties Of the state were represented,
two men driving 200 miles from the
Canadian border to attend.
New Hampshire is being organized
on a district plan, except in the large
cities where community chairmen and
committees will be chosen. Local
committees, Mr.. Gorby states, will find
dependents of veterans and ascertain
their condition, report on needy chill
sdren. find foster homes and take other
steps to meet their need and, with
Miss Emma G. Puschner, national
field secretary, have supervision of
children who have been placed in fOs-
ter homes.
"Under no circumstances, Mr.. Cor
by said, twill the Legion duplicate the
work of worthy existing social agen-
cies. Wherever 1t is possible, the Lee
gion will carry on its work through
a"encies already set up, whether by
the state or by private initiative"

CARBON MONOXIDE
GAS DANGEROUS
Only Safeguard Is Never to
Run Engine in Garage
While Closed.

Caborn monoxide is deadly. cOlorless
and odorless. The air in a garage or
room may seem perfectly pure, yet
may contain enough carbon monoxide
to kill you.
Carbon monoxide may be formed by
burning almost any kind of fuel with
out oxygen. A very small percentage
in the air will cause headache, then
Inconsistencies, then death. The
blood has great affinity for carbon
monoxide and absorbs it from the
lungs instead of the oxygen which is
needed to sustain life.
No Warning Given.
An automobile engine running in an
ordinary small garage with doors and
windows closed will produce enough
carbon monoxide in a few minutes to
cause death. If person is alone in
such a garage, he is generally over
come without warning.
The only safeguard is never to run
your engine unless the garage door is
open, or at least two windows. If
your engine is running and you feel
any headache or faintness, even if you
think the ventilation is all right, go at
once into open air-there may be
pocket of gas in some corner of the
garage.
First Aid.
Ii you find any one unconscious in
a garage drag him at once to the open
air if possible. If you cannot do this,
open the doors and windows wide If
the victim is breathing, send for help.
If the victim has stopped breathing,
start artificial respiration by the prone
pressure method. Send someone else
to call the police, gas company, or cleo
trio company, as they usually have
equipment for resuscitation including
oxygen or carbon dioxide-oxygen in
halators.
If you do not know how to start ar
tificial respiration. learnt Get. this in
formation from your local safety coun-
ell, Red Cross, police department, cleo
trio or gas company. or write to the
National Safety council, Chicago.
