ted L .neir own way to Peters great
relief.
Coming back he sailed on an old
schooner and had a most adventure
some time.
He sang to himself at times and
this was one of the songs he sang:
The ocean and the sky
And our boat plowing steadily on
While trees and land and streets
Are quite completely gone.
1t was quite true, too, that they
had left trees and streets in the far
distance now for quite awhile.
He listened to the sea gulls saying
the same things over and over and
he thought how much they were like
some people who said the same things
over and over.
But they were so graceful and so
beautiful and they always made the
scenery more interesting. Then he
liked to hear their funny laughing
voices and he thought their good ap-
petites showed how healthy they
were.
He certainly would tell them In
Fairyland, how he could see, when he
looked from the top of the mast,
only where the sky and sea met all
around. There was a blue ridge in the
distance and beyond he couldn't see.
He thought of all the curious things
he had seen on this trip-the donkey
and dog wagons and how much they
had to work. But then. too, he had
been in one little place and every day
the dogs had all met together on the
beach and had gone in swimming
and had played and had beautiful
time.
1t had seemed just as if they had
named an hour to meet on the beach.
He had seen woolly white sheep ly-
ing on stones on rocky hills, and he
had watched scampering wild rabbits
and great flocks of wild birds.
He had made friends with a dear
little dog as they had warmed them
selves before a fire when everyone
was out and the little dog had felt
so blissful lying on his back by the
warm fire and having Peter Gnome
rub his chest.

How to Apply Brakes
and Prevent Skidding

Do not apply the brakes suddenly
when driving on wet pavement. Such
action is liable to start a skid If that
does occur, turn the steering wheel in
the direction of the skid At the same
instant release the brakes. Better
control will result if the brakes are
applied gradually on and off. Many
drivers lose their heads in such emer-
gency, and feel that they have done
locked the brakes.
Don't permit the driving wheels to
slide oeither in starting or stopping.
Gradual clutch and brake engagement
will avoid this. Don't run the car any
distance on a Debated tire. At the
first warning stop and make the
change. Nothing will break down the
tire walls more quickly.
Don't try to make every hill in high
speed. Nothing is to be gained by so
doing. Your gearset is designed to
meet such requirements. If you per-
sist in this practice you will soon find
it necessary to refit the engine bear
ings, and furthermore, you will greatly
reduce the tire mileage of the driving
wheels
Don't approach a down grade at
speed and then apply the brakes sud
denly to bring the car under control.
Many accidents occur from this cause
especially on wet roads. Aside from
this the tires suffer and the brakes
wear out quickly.

Changing Tires on Car
Will Increase Mileage

Changing truck or passenger car
tires at regular intervals from one
wheel tn another will increase the
mileage of set of tires to a greater
degree than the average owner real
ICES. Tire companies have done a
great deal of experimental work along
these lines during the past few years.
Engineers" says a representative
of tire concern, "have made exhaus-
tive tests relative to comparative wear
on tires in various positions. They
have learned that those on the right
wheels are subjected to greater wear
than those on the left, and those ON
the rear wheels to more than those
on the front.
occasional changes will effect more
equal distribution of wear with a con-
sequent increase in mileage.
Records have been kept at a GER
tain factory on a large number of
tires which have run in the aggre-
gate more than 100000 miles. Some
Of these tires have been run continu-
ously in the same positions. The rec
ords show that the average tire on the
left front wheel will give nearly twice
as much mileage as the one on the
right rear wheel.
1.-THE mileage in the various posi-
tions, therefore. will be approximately
the following proportions: To one
mile of service on the right rear wheel
tires will average lilo miles on the
left rear, 11a miles on the right front
and IL miles on the left front. In
other words, the average tire that
would run 5000 miles on the right
rear wheel would run about 1000 miles
on the left rear, 5000 on the right
front and 1000 on the left front

DO MUCH DAMAGE
Cooling System of Automo-
bile Should Be Kept in
Best Condition.
(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege OF Automotive Engineering, Chicago)

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege OF Automotive Engineering, Chicago)
You have all seen the fellow who
pushes his steaming, clanking car
about town. 1t looks for all the world
like a baby locomotive, but perhaps
what you and he don't know is that
this overheated condition Injuries the
pistons, the cylinders, the bearings and
all internal parts of the engine. OF
course, it is likely to cause damage to
some of these parts and shortly he
learns this himself-after he has paid
a big repair bill for information that
could have been cleaned from any in
struction book.
If you run the car with its spark
retarded the engine will overhead. Car
bon, crippled fan and impeded water
flow through the cooling system will
also cause overheating.
Stop and Investigate.
When out driving and your car over
heats 1t is imperative to instantly stop
and find the trouble. In an emergency
a very wise thing to do is to pour an
abundance Of oil into the crank case.
OF course your exhaust will smoke,
but the additional oil will offer a pro-
lection to the inside of the engine until
relief Is at hand.
The fan is one Of the most i'm
portant parts of the cooling system.
If the belt slips so as to reduce the
fan draft it must be adjusted, but in
Ii ho inc do uot a
belt too tight for it will break. Clean
the belt in gasoline every so often and
rid it of the oil and gummy matter.
Hitch up your garden hose and send
Its snray through the1efenings in the
radiator that probably are clogged with
mud But do this from the engine side
Of the radiator, otherwise you will
short circuit the electrical system.
Radiator May Be Clogeed.
If the engine still overheats it is
probable that the inside of the radia-
tor is clogged, so disconnect both the
inlet and outlet and plug them with
corks. Now make mixture Of half
and-half vinegar and wafer and fill the
radiator to it's brim. Let it stand for
half an hour. Then allow this mixture
to drain off and put the nozzle of the
hose into the inlet of the radiator.
Turn on the water and let it run for
an hour. The flushing should be very
thorough as the vinegar remaining in
the tubes would eventually eat them
to a certain extent. Then connect the
radiator and your trouble will be found
to have disappeared, provided that a
clogged radiator was the cause of the
overheating.
The ideas outlined above are not
new, nor are they the only ways and
means of accomplishing your purpose,
but they give satisfaction, are not
complicated, costly nor unduly time
consuming. Try them and see.

The people In Fairyland were al

Peter Gnome often used TO go to chill
lrens parties and watch them at play.
1t really wasn't rude of him for he
put on his invisible robe so no one
could see him and he wasn't in the
way at all.
He had a beautiful time early one
morning watching two children play
ing the telephone game.
They each had little toy telephone

Next he saw two children sitting

Unique Use for Honey
During Severe Weather

The recent cold weather raised the
problem of how to keep the radiator of
our automobiles from freezing. In
some sections where alcohol is more in
demand for other purposes, honey is
being used as an anti-freeze solution
in automobile radiators. according to
DR.. F. II. Lathrop, chief of the en-
tomology division of Glen son college
To prepare the anti-freeze honey
solution, measure out half enough
water to fill your radiator, and add an
equal volume of cheap strained honey
Bring this to boil and add one quart
of wood or denatured alcohol for each
three gallons of solution. After this
has boiled from three to five minutes,
the scum should be removed from the
top, and the solution is ready for use.
This honey solution is cheaper than
alcohol and has other desirable fea-
lures 1t should not be used, however,
where the radiator itself or the hose
connections are leaky, or where the
engine gaskets are not perfectly tight.
