GOOD WAY TO COMPROMISE

One of the most admirable things about the four
and half year agreement made by the anthracite
operators and miners is their plan for revising the
agreements from year year if either party so de-
SireS.
The machinery provided is extremely simple ana
sensible Ii agreement disputed points Is reach
ed by the regular representatives of the two sides
within 80 days. they to be referred to board OF
two with full powers. The special merit OF the plan
consists in the way these representatives are to be
chosen.
The operators are to choose of three men sug-
gested by the miners and the miners to choose one
of three suggested by the operators.
1t is to be expected that two men so chosen VIII
be able to agree.
If the operators choosing one OF their own
to represent them, they would probably choose
an extreme partisan. SO would the miners Thus the
two conferees would be far apart possible. On
the other hand, when the operators choose miner,
they will naturally choose the they regard as
nearest their point of view, and the miners Will
likewise choose from the operators list the one near
the miners point of view So the referees be-
ing together start with, will find compro
mise easier
This scheme is to be recommended in any case
where is necessary to reconcile conflicting interests

Presidents Given
By New Hampshire

Concord, N. H., Apri! 10 - up -
In the early days New Hampshire
had its own presidents. This fact
will be recalled in the celebration
in June of the 150th anniversary of
the establishment OF an independent
government in the Granite State.
Inc very first government head in
New Hampshire, John Cults, of
portsmouth, was commissioned by
King Charles II. as president of the
province when it was severed from
Massachusetts in 1879. The sue
ceeding royal appointees were vari-
ously styled deputy president, lieu
tenant governor, deputy governor
and governor.
When the provincial congress
m meeting at Exeter on January 6,
ICl6, renowned British rule by the
adoption of resolutions setting IN
an administration answerable ONLY To
the people of the province, 1t revived
the title of president for it's first
governing head, Matthew Thornton
or Merrimack. His successor, Mes
hech Weare of Hampton Falls. who
served through virtually the whole
OF the Revolution, bore the same
title. In 1892, the title was Changed
to governor.
New Hampshire's early action in
asserting independence, six months
oelore the declaration by the con-
.lnental congress. was precipitated
ny the assistance which Governor
John Wentworth gave to General
Gage In fortifying Boston. He was
forced to flee from the province and
committee Of safety was organized
which summoned the congress at
Exeter.

observance will be in this city on

Your Automobile Now
Needs a Spring Tonic
(By G. Clark Mather)
(Chief Engineer. Paipe-Detroi

Motor Car Company
The time of the year is approach
ing when men returning home in
the evening will find their ordinarily
restful homes about as inviting as a
storage warehouse-spring house,
cleaning time, in short. That should
be their cue to do a little spring
cleaning on their own account, CIV
ing their automobiles the benefit of
an intensive check up. This not only
greatly benefits the car, but has the
added advantage of offering the man
of the house something to do in that
trying period when his presence in
the house is quite undesired by the
women-folk.
Winter is the hardest season of all
for the motor car. It's hard on ev-
cry unit-carburetor, battery, start
err, generator, engine, tires, brakes,
ETC., carry their heaviest loads in the
season of low temperatures. rough
travelling, long nights, and hard
usage.
At the end of the winter, an auto
mobile is certain to be improved by
a few simple operations that remedy
the ill-effects of the cold-weather

and the driver should counteract
these effects early in-the spring.
Non-freeze solutions of any sort,
no matter how effective. are not so
good for the engine and cooling sys-
tenn as plain water. Therefore, in
stead of merely draining the system
and refilling with water, the spring
cleaning should include a thorough
check-up on the entire cooling sys-
tenn. Especially should the rubber
water connections be inspected.
Make sure that the inside of the
hose is smooth and clear, SO as not
to obstruct the flow of water. Flab-
by connections should be thrown
away.
Both the radiator and the cylinder
block should be thoroughly flushed
out, to remove sediment and scale.
This can best be done with the hose
connections removed letting the
water flow directly from hose
through the radiator and the cylin-
der block. If much scale is present,
fill the radiator with water contain
ing small quantity of soda or I've,
then running the engine for short
time to loosen the scale and rust.
After using this solution, care must
be taken to flush out the entire sys-
tenn thoroughly with clear water.
Not only should the engine oil be

Are You Afflicted
With Mechanical Ears?

BY Erwin Greer
president Greer College of Automo-
tive and Electrical Trades, Chicago,
Ill.)
You either have mechanical ears or
you haven't. In few words you fall
into one or the other class of motor
car drivers. One driver is forever
hearing things" The other driver
hears nothing"
Neither of these drivers enjoys him
self. because the one is always look
ing for car trouble and the other, who
does not understand the knocks and
rattles, usually has to phone for the
tow car to haul him home.
1t is not always easy to differen-
tiate between harmless noises and
those other noises which warn of a
breakdown. The real art is to be able
to have an ear ready for evidence of
serious trouble which enables one to
make the annoying squeaks and rat
ties closed book that nothing can be
done about for the time being. Worry
ing never frightened a loose bearing,
nor creased a differential. Yet how
many of you spoil trip just because
you cannot find particular squeak or
rattle. 1 do, for one. However, that
is because l am cursed with mechani-
cal ears.
All this explains why water pump

Take your famous race pilots for in

mechanical ears. had the good for
tune, or misfortune, recently to ride
from Detroit to Chicago with one of
them. Now this chap had spent days
in tuning UP his bus for the run, yet
neglected to tighten a door that rat
tied.
All the way through his right eye
would COCK towards that rattle and
one could imagine him mentally send
ing that harmless rattle to the devil
every other minute. And I lost out
on q great chance to discover more
about the new 1919 inch racing motor
simply because of the rattle. The poor
chaps mind was SO confused with II
that he couldn't stay on a particular
subject to save his life. And all the
time he knew that 1t was merely a
door rattle-that 1t couldn't possibly
do any harm.
So you-who want to enjoy your
trip-go over the car before you start
and see that 1t is right. Then II a
rattle Develops rattle that can do
no harm-why ignore 1t and show the
rest Of the family that you are con-
scious Of their well-being too. Then
when you get to the place you are go
ing, why either take an axe and ruin
that rattle or fix it--just as your lit
tie mind dictates.
Self-control? Well, here is q good
way to practice up on that self-control
you preach to friend wife.

ment and methods of manufacture.
Factory officials attribute 1t largely
to the installation and development of
machinery which does more work and
requires fewer operators. Much has
also been done to eliminate non
productive labor by improving con-
veyor systems, re-arranging ma
chimes to prevent unnecessary hand
ling Of parts, etc.
An example Of how machinery is re-
placing human effort in the automobile
industry IL seen in the Buick Unified
Line, an assembly system more near
ly automatic in operation than any
SO far developed. The Unified Line
will be in operation within the next
80 days, factory officials declare.
Most price reductions in automo-
biles which have at the Same time
been held to as high a standard of
quality as before Is directly tracea-
BILE to such work as this in reducing
manufacturing expense. The automo-
bile dollar will buy 29% more car to-
day than 1t would in 1913, but the cost
of other commodities has increased
67o in the same period.

removed, scraped, cleaned with kero-
sene or gasoline, and thoroughly
dried.
Similarly, the transmission and
the rear axle housings should be
cleaned thoroughly. Many motorists
I'LL these units with q light oil for
winter use, to insure easy flowing at
very low temperatures. For warm
weather use, there is no need to 70
to the other extreme. Thick, heavy,
oils are not essential. Light oils are
best. but II they are too light, they
will leak from the housings. That
is the test: If 1t leaks, it's too light.
Use an oil just heavy enough to pre-
vent leaking; there Is no advantage
in heavier lubricant.
All screens and strainers, of
course, should be cleaned. They are
to be found In the engine oiling sys-
tenn, In the vacuum tank, and in the
fuel line.
The entire fuel line should be
cleaned out-a simple Job when
compressed air is used.
Very likely your carburetor was
set for rich mixture for the cold
weather. You'll save gasoline and
get petter performance II you have
the carburetor adjusted to give a
ieaner mixture. This is best done
by service station experts.
Don't forget your battery. It will
need attention oftener when the
weather gets warm. Evaporation is
SLOW IN the winter, and rapid in the
summer. Have 1t inspected now,
made correct, then keep 1t that way
by regular attention.
Ihere are many other things that
might we'll be done as part OF the
spring cleaning campaign. Those I
nave mentioned are essential: adj

Average Price of
Bucks Much Lower

The average price of current Buick
of the 1925 line.
This reduction was brought. about
by increasing manufacturing efficien-
cy and by the development of ma
chinery to take the place Of human
labor.
The total saving through greater
manufacturing efficiency alone amount
ed to over $6,000000 in 1926. 1t was
brought about largely by reducing
scrap losses and by more careful use
of operating supplies and tools.
The labor needed per car produced
has been reduced 1870 since 1928.
This very fine change in manufacture
ing costs shows clearly an increased
state of efficiency in Bucks equip
