STARS SAFEST GUIDES
FOR TOURISTS AT NIGHT
Motorists Can Find Directions by
Learning Positions Of
Planets.

For the motor tourist who travels
at night it Is essential to know how
to find true north. Before the inven.
ton Of the compass mariners and
others were obliged to get their bear
ings from the stars. and in the alb
sence Of a compass at night this Is
the safest means of identifying true
north.
Tho North Star forms a part OF the
constellation known as the Little Dip
per and lies at the end of it's handle.
AS many are unable to distinguish
the Little Dipper, another means of
finding the North Star is through the
Big Dipper.
Nearly every one is familiar with this
constellation. A line drawn through
the two outside stars of the bowl of
the Big Dipper will strike the North
Star, which is comparatively small
and sometimes difficult to discern.
Facing the North Star. east is to the
travellers right, west to his left and
south to his rear.
During the daytime, should the trav-
eler desire to find true south. a sure
way is to point the hour hand of his
watch toward the sun. A line drawn
half way between the hour hand and
~ O'Clock will point directly south.

advantageous to have the crankcase
flushed out with a thin lubricating oil,
never kerosene, in order that all abra.
sive may be taken out before 1t gets
a chance to cause the damage 1t can
do under hard driving.
The driving apparatus. from clutch
to differential, usually will require lit
tie more attention than that neces.
sary to see that transmission, univer-
sal joints and differential are filled
with grease.
The experienced driver always looks
carefully to the car control before he
begins trip that requires many hours
of driving. An enormous conservation
of energy is possible by giving heed to
such items as ease of steering, gear
shifting and use Of the clutch and
brake pedals.
Seeing that the front tires are prop
erly inflated is a long step toward
effortless steering, but thorough lubri'
cation of all parts of the steering APP
paratus Is an even longer and more
important one. The owner who de-
sires to avoid fatigue in every possible
way will profit by freeing the clutch
and brake pedals. The shaft upon
which these work is in an excellent
position to catch many foreign sub
stances that interfere with free and
easy operation. Generous baths of oil
will work remarkable results. The dri-
yer who confines his car operation to
the brief Sunday trip or the jaunt to
and from his business during the week
will not notice the energy he uses be-
cause the clutch and brake pedals
stick. On a trip. however, when long
hours are spent behind the wheel, the
situation is different.
The proper adjustment Of the brakes
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-07-31

is infinitely more important on the
tour than in ordinary driving. It may
be possible to get by with improperly
set brakes when travelling ones con-
ventional route. The tour. however,
takes the motorist along strange high
ways with curves that may come with
startling suddenness and hills that
may be treacherous because their
unfamiliarity makes them deceptive.
Good brakes will obviate many of the
tense moments which are the inevt-
table result Of venturing forth on
strange highways with poorly adjusted
ones.
In connection with the brakes on
the car being prepared for tour, 1t
may be we'll to look to the washers
that keep the grease of the rear axle
from inundating the Innings and
durms. On the long trip in warm
weather the differentia1 lubricant be-
comes decidedly more fluid than under
ordinary driving conditions and unless
these washers are efficient. the grease
will flow over the brakes, an obviously
harmful procedure.
Another important item in condi-
tioning the car has to do with the
springs. Long. long hours on the
highway can be made pleasant be-
yond belief by giving a little consider.
alton to the springs of the car. The
uncovered spring probably will be
found to have lost many Of it's excel.
lent qualities because Of rust between
| the leaves. Spreading the leaves and
inserting graphite Is the remedy, al
though ordinary lubricating oil is more
generally used. The OIL however. can
do more harm than good because while
the rust can impair the desirable fric-
tional values of the springs, excessive

Fire-Building Hints

Great care must be exercised in
using fire when camping. In starting
q fire it is advisable to wait until it
is burning well before placing the
larger pieces Of wood on it, as they
are likely to smother the flames.
The fire must be watched continu-
ally, since there always Is the great
danger of flying sparks. II a wind Is
in the air it is best to guard the fire
by placing several rocks in the path
of the wind, thus reducing the posi-
bility Of flying sparks.
Hard wood will burn slower than
soft wood and will leave hot Goals
which are excellent for frying, baking
or roasting. Soft wood fires usually
are better for boiling and stewing
food. as they produce greater flame,
which is needed to play around the
pot.
Never leave a fire unattended for
any period of time. 1t should be put
out at night and when breaking camp,
the best means being to douse it with
water and put earth over the ashes.

LACK Of COURTESY
ON ROAD ASSA|LED
maryland Vehicle Commits.
sioner Cites Types of D7iv-
erS Who Are MenaceS.

''Why is it that a man who is uni.
formly courteous and considerate in
his dealings with his fellow man so
often forgets to exercise the rules
when driving a carr" asks l.. Austin
Baughman, Maryland commissioner
az motor vehicles, in making an ap-
peal for good manners" among auto
mobilists as a big factor for safety
as well as for more pleasant driving
conditions.
MANY drivers are not Intentionally
discourteous, he says, citing the case
of the man who in business and social
relations shows the utmost considera'
ton for those with whom he comes
in contact. but who often is found on
the highways with Glaring headlights,
which very plainly constitutes nuis-
ance and a discourtesy to others.
Should Have Lights Tested.
"This illustration is of a type of
man who may not be aware of the
discomfort his lights give to others.
] suggest for such cases that the
driver who desires to maintain his
reputation for courtesy take pains Pc
riodically to see that his headlights
are properly focused and aimed.
off his experiences as an operator by
swiftly weaving out Of moderately
moving streams of traffic ought to be
suppressed" in the opinion OF Mr..
Baughman, who regards this type as
a menace not only to other cars but
also to the safety of passengers and
guests in his own vehicle.
Practically all kinds of discourtesy
and bad manners" have been consid-
cred by Mr.. Baughman, not the least
of them being the refusal to yield the
right of way. failing to drive at a rea-
sonable speed in heavy traffic.
Pedestrians Also Blamed
Unfair and inconsiderate pedestri-
ans also come in for attention by Mr..
Baughnan in discussing highway
manners. An aggravating type. of this
class, he declares, is the person who
affects, even if he does not really feel
it, an attitude that all motorists
should look out for him and give him
a wide berth.
Reverting to the attitude Of motor
vehicle operators. Commissioner
Baughman has this to say in conclu-
sion:
The exercise of kindness to others,
with consideration and true courtesy,
will prevent any operator from get
ting a wrong attitude of mind for
driving in traffic. Any operator who
is given to losing his temper. who be-
comes sulky or is abnormal for any
one Of the many different causes is
unfit to drive, because his automobile
provides a medium of expression for
his personality and, If that personality
is upset, either temporarily or perma-
nently, he is almost sure to make trou-
bic either for himself or others or, in
many instances, for BOTH

FRONT WHEEL "SHIMMY.
Common Defect in Autos Defies
Rectifying.

Mechanically inclined motorists who
have followed the engineers efforts in
combating the problem Of front wheel
shimmy may be interested to know to
what great lengths the manufacturers
and designers are going in an effort
to conquer this annoyance.
1t is generally recognized that SHIN
mying is due to unbelievably small
factors and often to combinations of
them. But even with this knowledge
in mind it is surprising indeed to note
what odd details are viewed by engi-
neers as being capable Of contributing
to the forces battling against wheel
wobble.
In one of the new cars on the
market, for instance, the frame of the
car, which tapers toward both ends,
is made u inch thicker near each
front end. There is no mechanical
contrivance about it-just merely. a
reinforcement of the frame stock.
And yet this is viewed by the manu-
facturer as an important factor in
the elimination Of the well-known
shimmy.

that the bolts are tight.
1t will pay to inspect the spare tire.
1t may not have been used for some
time and may not have set in. All the
tires, of course, need careful scrutiny
before the trip.
This list of conditioning features
may sound imposing. The motorist
who starts at the top and works all

car in prime condition, provided it has

MANDRAKE IS USEFUL.
Auxiliary Il Especially Fitted for
Summertime Driving.

Service brakes are 30 efficient and
so easy to use that the motorist gets
out of the habit Of resorting to the
hand brake. On cars that have expos
ed service brakes, however, drivers
find that rain interferes with their abil
ity to stop the car. During the Sum.
mer. when showers are frequent and
forceful there is a splendid opportunI.
ty to use the hand brake, which ia en-.
closed on many cars. Since 1t Is rela.

Campers Warned
To Hide Leather
From Porcupines

When camping in district
where there may be porcupines. it
is imperative that the camper leave
no article made of leather within
reach of this animal. Porcupines
have a great prediction for leath-
err of all kinds.
A Government official recently
went out to Glacier National Park
on a trip Of inspection. During the
first night of camping, porcupines
devoured pair of brand-new hik-
ing boots and ate the swaziland
out of a hat.
1t also is advisable to be sure
that food stores are safely out OF
the reach of all animals.

Trailer Is Found Useful.

The trailer for camping purposes has
solved many problems which faced the
motor tourist. With the use Of even
a small trailer, the camper can take
with him many Of the conveniences to
which he always has been accustomed.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-07-31

Preparations for the motor camping
trip should begin with the family car.
Just as the motorist asks himself.
What will we need in the way OF
provisions. shelter and equipment?"
SO must he also ask, What does the
car need before we get under way!
The answer to this question. OF
course. depends upon the individual
car. In general. however. 1t can be
said that the automobile that Is kept
in reasonably good condition and
given service as it needs it probably
will require but a minimum OF atten-
ton to put 1T into shape for the diff
ferent kind Of use it gets when the
annual camping trip begins.
On the other hand, the machine
that is allowed to run along as long
as it will run usually is found calling
for quite a lot of minor repairs at
least before it is prepared to function
as a carry-all for the gasoline gypsy
and his family.
No one will question the absolute
Importance of having the campers
transportation unit in the best pos
sible condition. Above all other fea-
lures, it makes or mars the ex-
perience. Much of the allure Of get
ting out into the open lies in the ease
to civilization. Ready egresS from
the sylvan recesses is just as essen
tial as ready access to them. and both
are dependent upon unfaltering and
faithful performance of the campers
automobile.
There is no doubt that the camping
trip is a different kind Of experience
for the average car, just as 1t Is for
the motorist and his family.
Comparative Statement.
It is no more reasonable to assume
that the car that is accustomed to
carrying the owner to and from the
office daily is prepared for the tour
than to assume that the athlete who
has idled for months is ready for
foot ball game. Fortunately. how
ever. it takes less time for the car to
for the athlete.
Regardless Of the condition OF the
car. there are certain essentials that
should be checked These are simple
to tabulate and the motorist who is
planning a trip would do well to give
them his attention.
The cars power plant should be
given first consideration, naturally.
If the presence of carbon is notice
able in performance even when su.
perior brands of motor fuel are used
1t should be cleaned and the valves
should be adjusted. This latter should
be done regardless of the state of
carbonization Of the engine. 1t is not
unreasonable to assume that the
valves of any well used car require
inspection at least. A slight loosenees
makes no difference and even may be
q help, but determining whether this
minor maladjustment is correct is
the task for man well yersed in au-
tomotive repair.
The ignition system can be checked
over and timing should be adjusted
for the type of driving ahead of the
traveller. II there are few hills, it
might be well, in the interest of
smooth and easy speed, to have the
timing slightly fast. If. however,
there is some mountain scaling to be
done before the journey ends a normal
or possibly a slightly slow spark Is to
be preferred.
Another Important Point.
The condition of the breaker points
is most important. If they are at all

Another Important Point.

The condition of the breaker points
is most important. If they are at all
rough it Will be decidedly of advan-
tage to file them down so that good,
clean contact is assured.
Even the best of carburetors needs
attention now and then and just be-
fore trip is started Is the best time
to give 1T such conditioning as it may
require. The car that Is taken on a
long journey in warm weather usually
can stand relatively leaner mixture,
although variations in altitude, If they
are sufficiently great, make it difficult
TO decide just what the mixture should
be.

ings an inspection before starting a
journey, particularly il they have not
had one in some time. The car prob
ably will be driven faster than usual
and looseness in the crankshaft area
will assert itself more quickly and
seriously than under normal driving
conditions. Tightening the bearings of

relatively simple and inexpensive job
and 1t is very worth while one for

Farm Population Again
Shows Substantial Drop

According to estimates made by
the bureau of agricultural economics
OF the United States Department of
Agriculture, the farm population of
the nation decreased $4,000 persons
during 1926, which is the largest drop
of any year since 1920.
The slump was not confined to the
Northwest, but was general in all Sec
lions of the country, which should be
sufficient evidence for any person
that agriculture of every degree is
suffering from the wide discrepancy
between the prices of industrial pro-
ducts and those of the soil, and that
mere change from the growing of
grains to some other form of crop
or production, is not the remedy
needed to put agriculture on a basis
that will make the farm attractive
to the growing generation.
Because of the low returns for the
labor and capital invested, thousands
are yearly DESERVING the land and
moving into the cities, where they
are competing with other labor for
positions in factories and stores.
The farm population of the United
States on January 1 is estimated at
27,S92,O00.

Wool Growers Settles
1861 Pool Account

The 5000 cooperatives in the Min
nesota Wool Growers association
have received from Manager r. E.
Jones, Wabasha, a statement of the
final sales on the 1926-27 pool. Dur
ing the season the association re-
ceived 531,055 pounds, of which 433,-
939 pounds have been sold.
The average price received by the
growers, all grades was 34.15 cents
a pound, which was above the prices
paid by other buyers in the state,
which should prove to the member
ship that it pays to patronize their
own cooperative institutions.
Mr.. Jones states that the Wool
Growers expect the coming season to
be equal to that just closed in the mat
ter of demand and price, and urges
all members to ship their wool to the
Wabasha station for inclusion in the
pool and to tell their neighbors of the
results of pooling the past year.
