too young to know anything about
But she was not too young to pay part
of that wars terrific cost. Her father
was killed.
A few months ago the final misfor-
tune overlook the child. Her mother,
who had struggled along bravely since
the dread notification came from the
War department, wearied of the fight
and found rest in the arms Of death.
The little girl was left alone but not
friendless. The American Legion post
of Palatka gave her every care within
It's power. But hospital treatment was
needed, and the Forty and Eight
came forward.
Through James Edward White, then
chef de care Of voiture 220 in Chica-
90 and a member of the Legion's ma
tional child welfare committee, per-
mission was obtained to have the child
admitted to the Shrine hospital for
treatment. Leedy was rushed north
accompanied by Mrs. Dorothy Barthol-
omew, treasurer of the American Lee
gion auxiliary, department of Florida.
Her train was met In Chicago by a
large delegation of Legionnaires and
Shriners, who escorted her to the hos
pital.
Physicians said that long treatment
would be necessary for Leedy.

Instrument board indicators are de-

part Of the automobile. Occasionally,
however, the Indicator itself develops
an ailment and causes the motorist &

milton off, the chances are that the
relay, or generator cutoff points are
stuck. The battery is discharging back
into the generator. Suspecting such
a condition, a motorist started to re-
move the generator cut-out and then,
remembering he was taking chance
of blowing out the fuses. decided to

done this, the ammeter continued to
register discharge even though there
was no current in any Of the wires.

The 'Forty and Eight" employed the

UNFORESEEN BUMP
HARD ON SPRINGS
Much of Expense, Time and
Temper Could Be Saved
in Most Cases.

How much blasphemy has been
voiced and money spent because an
unforeseen bump caused a spring to
snap and make it necessary for the
motorist to limp to the nearest garage
on the axle?
Though 1t is impossible to answer
such a question accurately, 1t is GER
tain that much of the expense, time
and temper could have been saved If
the car driver had been informed of
spring action and prepared his car
In advance for such emergencies.
Ordinary usage over smooth roads
never breaks springs. Spring break
age Is caused by high speed over bad
paving or the hard hitting of rough
spots in the roads. Spring designers
and car builders understand this and
try to get springs that win Withstand
severe shocks, yet afford sufficient
fiexibility for good paving.
Nature of Rebound.
When a spring has suddenly been
compressed or fully fattened so that
the car and axle come together, the
energy of the spring steel Immediately
exerts a pressure to return the spring
to its natural shape. With the wheels
on the ground, there can obviously be
no give in that direction, with the re-
suit the car body Is thrown violently
upward.
This action Is called rebound" and
1t is that rebound that causes discom-
fort to the car passengers.
Furthermore when the car frame
bounces upward it goes beyond the
normal stage and tends to pull the
springs and axle upward, thus put
ting an unnatural strain on the spring.
1t is this action that is as destructive
to springs as the original sudden COM
preston.
Should such action occur to the
rear axle, the wheels then lifted off
the ground by the rebound will start
to spin, with the result that they dig
the surface doubly hard when they
hit the road again.
Many Types Of Devices.
For several years car manufactur-
ers have realized the need for q de-
vice that would control the rebound.
Some even now, equip their cars with
a road levelizer" (Which might bet
ter be called scar-action levelizer')
before they are shipped. Practically
all manufacturers provide holes In
the car frames for the installation of
rebound-control devices.
There are many types of devices on
the market, and they usually are
called shock absorbers or Jewellers,
their duty being to levelize the action
Of the car.
The object Of a true levelizer is
to allow the springs free play when
on good roads and to control the re-
bound when bumps are hit. The lat
ter Is accomplished by preventing the
compressed springs from expanding
too quickly and by minimizing the
disastrous snap that causes so much
spring breakage and riding discom-
fort.
