Relatively recently nine motorists
but Of ten were asking, chow can I
stop my engine from knocking?''
Today, however, nine out Of ten
want to know how they can keep
the front wheels OF their cars from
robbling.
Not ali front wheel wobbIe is
6himmy. Motorists studying the
subject carefully are finding that
there are many things which can
happen to the steering and which
may be caused from as many va
Gieties Of conditions. A true shimmy
Is one in which the wobble breaks
out at relatively high car speed and
Is q condition over which, for the
time being at least, the driver has
no control. Many Of the other
front wheel troubles occur at low
car speeds and are comfortable at
the drivers win.
Many Cars "WaddIe''
One Of the most persistent steer
ing troubles is q type Of front wheel
Vagary known as ''waddling." Any
driver who will watch other cars
approaching him on wavy pave
tnent will notice that a large per-
centage Of the front wheels do not
rum . straight course. This Is
Waddling.
While front wheels should not act
%, 1t is interesting to note that
relatively few drivers whose cars
are behaving in this fashion realize
it. The explanation for this is that
the driver is not likely to feel the
action Of the front wheels unless he
Is gripping the steering wheel at the
upper half OF its circumference.
This has led to some interesting
gpeculations regarding the possibil-
ity Of front whel caprice resulting
from peculiar habits in handling
the steering wheel.
Is the driver responsible for some
of the vagaries of the steering
mechanism? is the movement of
the steering wheel q safe guide to
the action Of the front wheels?
The first question has not been
answered definitely .one way or the
other. There is some reason for
assuming, however. that drivers are
able to throw their front wheels
into these fits OF irregular movement
II they steer in an erratic fashion.
Curiously enough, however, too
placid steering may encourage
waddling. wobbling or shimmy over
certain types Of roads.
It is known, and can be demon
etrated, that nervousness of the
front wheels often can be corrected
by q sudden movement OF the steer.
ing gear within safe limits.
Check BY Drivers
The second question Is one that
can be more readily answered be-
cause Of experienced drivers are
practicing the plan Of keeping a
check on the movement Of the front
wheels as observed through the ac.

BERLIN THEATERS LOSE.
Summer Season Is Worst Encoun
tered in Years.


Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
BERLIN.-Berlin theaters look
back upon the Summer season as the
worst encountered in years. Some
theaters ran for but a week or two
during the Summer, then gave up in
despair. Others struggled on bravely
for month, then also threw up the
sponge.
One theater attempted to increase
the crowd by having the girl ushers
appear in bathing costumes. This
trick, too, proved futile. Still another
theater engaged lawyer as manager
in the hope that possibly an out
slider might have stroke of good
luck. The experiment was costly;
after a few weeks the deficit rose to
10000 marks.
The only theaters which did any
business ware three so-called garden

was graduated during Miss Hills
term ~ principal, will be the prin-
cipal speaker Of the evening.
Miss Hills graduated from the
New Britain Normal school In 1875
and began her long term of service
In educational work in the fall of
the same year in Rockville. where
she remained for one year. In 1877
she returned to her native town OF
Forestville to accept a position on
the teaching staff Of the one school
in the village and there she has
since remained. During all Of those
years she has been associated with
Miss Fannie A. Greene, who this
year completed her fifty-second year
in the school. The other teacher
associated with Miss Hills and Miss
Greene at the time was Mrs. c. A.
Reynolds.
When Miss Hills first came to
Forestville. there was three room
schoolhouse in use with an ENROLL
ment OF 116 pupils. At the conclu-
sion OF the spring term there were
$50 pupils enrolled with teaching
staff OF eighteen under the super
vision Of Miss Hills. The average
nav for teachers in the city at that
time was about $500 q year. Miss
Hills was appointed principal of the
school in 1895 but up until nine
years ago, she continued to teach
the two upper grades in addition to
her other duties. She was relieved
OF classroom work in 1918 and has
served since that time In a SUPER
vising capacity.
Miss Hills. in discussing with the
Herald representative her plans to
retire, felt that her resignation was
no different from that of anyone
else who felt they needed a rest. She
simply remarked There is nothing
at all to say, except that I am get
ting through" And short time
later she remarked, Il am simply
going to take rest and I think if
am ever going to take one. should
take it now" She also pointed out
that she had wanted to retire last
year but was asked to serve another
year. This she agreed to do with the
understanding that her duties OF ac
tive service would end at the close
of the spring term this year.
Although severing her active con-
nection with the school, Miss Hills
will continue to serve as principal
emeritus for the school year of 1921
1928. She has been granted a leave
of absence for one year on full
salary, the city paying $1,000 and the
Thirteenth School District (Forest-
ville) paying the balance OF $500.
Superintendent of Schools Karl A.
Reiche. in speaking of this matter
before the city council on last Tues
day. stated that the new principal
will have occasion to consult Miss
Hills many times during the school
year.

points, for wash days differ widely

While leaders of the conference con-

is quite likely that there will be
compromise on this view, since it is
necessary for some housewives to
continue this burdensome work them
selves, but they believe it may be

means.
Cooperative laundries are urged
and State and municipal authorities

THE opinions of intellectual per-

Mr.. Bartlett said he considered that
the two sacraments presented a point
at which the diversities of conception
represented at the conference come
to a head in practice" AMI are great
dividing line and barrier to fuller
friendship"
He said that attempts to reconcile
these differences in the past had
failed. but held that the new spirit
now prevailing among the churches
offered hopes of reconciliation. He
added that modern experience. recent
comparative study of the Old Tesla

cient external forms of the church in
relation to their meaning for human
experience.
