The lubricating gun and its fit

Hence, the reason for the manu-

at one visit week to the grease

CHASSIS NEGLECT COSTS

The fabrication chart that ac-
companies your car demands that
the chassis be creased every five
hundred miles. This, however,
doesn't interest you even though
the modern method of greasing re-
auires a mere twist of the wrist.
This laziness on the part of you
and other motor car owners in
these United States enables repair
men to put away over 100000
900 in repair money each year. 1t
is directly due to the fact that you
neglect to grease the chassis.
Moreover your car depreciates
badly too, so again you lose when
you try to dispose Of it.
Can you afford this neglect?
Yet it must be done if you are
to avoid stiff-brakes, rattles
squeaks, hard steering and dead
springs. These all mean excessive
friction, and friction means wear
breakage of parts, accidents anc
repair bills. The repairs mean 8

Opening of Schools Stimulates Re-
cording of chiljren's Births.


MadisOn-SchoOl opening has
greatly stimulated the recording of
children's births, according to clerks
handling vital statistics records of
health. There are many applicants
daily for birth certificates to prove
that children have reached school age
or to furnish evidence Of age for
school athletics. There is no state
law requiring official evidence of age
for admission to school, but it is COM
ing to be universal, officials state, to
enforce local rules to the same effect.
If the births have been recorded,
the requirements are easily met by
parents who have carefully kept the
card mailed them by the state board
of health, certifying the birth has
been duly registered If the birth
was not recorded by the physician
or other attendants, the law permits
parents to fill out a record form
which is filed as an original record
for preservation in the state ar
chiyes. A duplicate is filed with the
register of deeds.
Tests made in Wisconsin a few
years ago by federal census agents
proved that birth reporting was more
than 90 per cent complete. Upor
