was confined to 40 minutes, Wilson

He asked the jurors to bring In a
verdict Of first degree murder, and
reiterated his contention that Beer

he entered the home Of George

Flynn then delivered one Of the
most forcible arguments for a de.

TO PLACE RIMS

There is "a right and a wrong
way to place rims on wheels. and
a right and wrong way to tighten
the bolts that hold the Tugs. When
replacing a rim, have the valve
hole at the top of the wheel and
see that the valve stem is exactly
in the center of the hole. Put all
the bolts and Tugs on. Tighten
up one lug, and then tighten the
other lug opposite it. Do not
tighten the Jugs in regular order,
as this may throw the rim out
of true on the wheel. After the
tire and rim are replaced, spin
the wheel to see If it is running

LOOSE KING PINS

One of the commonest mistakes
In going over a car for the pur.
pose of putting 1t in condition IL.
to tighten the front wheels when
they are not loose. The motorist
shakes the wheels and decides that
because they seem loose they need
to be drawn up tighter on their
axles. He does not realize that
the looseness is the king pins. He.
could decide this point easily by
noting that the ends Of the axles
move with the wheels when the
looseness is felt. II the wheels
were really loose on the axles, the
wheels. not the axles, would move
when being shaken.

MOTOR TRAVEL
ON INCREASE

Volume Of automobile travel is
rapidly becoming equalized through
out the year. The storing of cars
for the winter is practically a thing
of the past. In the North, the more
general removal Of snow from the
highways, and over the country the
extension of good roads and the in
creasing vogue of winter touring,
combined with the growth in popu-
larity of the closed car, all have
been important factors in dispelling
the DOGGY against winter driving.
The change in seasonal attitude
on the part of motorists has been
reflected in sales, according to II. NJ
Stephens, general sales manager of
the Cadillac Motor Car Company,
and the change has been particularly
marked during the past two years.
