LEARNIMG TO PuT ON TIE BRAKES

That we have been going through the most disastrous times
IN years no one Will deny and yet out of it's ruins W e have AT
least learned one lesson. How to put on the brakes. OF course
a lot Of us hadn't used them for so long we had about forgotten
where u look, but listen, brother, when you are going down hill
al mn speed, overloaded with selfconfidence, and geared for a
nonstop run; then look up only to see the bridge gone. it's
Tune TO take your foot off the accelerator and reach for the emery
ency brake before you're lost in the maelstorm of disaster.
Yes, truly, we have progressed, and at a rapid rate. Speed
mas been our Watchword and final goal below and no one cared
very much about what was to happen above. In fact, every
body was SO busy speeding up nobody had time to think. It simn-
ly wasn't being done in the speediest families. Then what W a
the use OF bothering about thinking, anyhow. Let the other fel.
low do it.
wasn't your broker investing your money for you at a 30
per cent yield, which could never get lower? Were not motor
cars getting cheaper and gas stations more plentiful? Didn't we
have a two million dollar Congress? Why, said the wise bows
OF industry, we hadn't started to go yet. Just wait until the
farmers get speeded up and then things will happen-and they
did. xxxx
But at last we are, through necessity, slowing down and be-
ginning to really think for ourselves, and when men and women
begin thinking right, then will right plans be formulated and
this old sphere move along in a safe and sane manner. Yes.
brother it's been a pretty hard lesson and a very expensive one,
but we have at least learned where the brake pedal is-Hunter

Lewis 3. Tebbetts of st. Louis
took exception to some statements
made By Calvin Coolidge in a radio
address last October. He said his
reputation had been hurt, and
started a 100000 damage suit a.
gainst Coolidge and the New York
Life Insurance company of which
Coolidge is a director. Coolidge said
the offense was unintentional, as
he had never heard of Tebbetts.
Tebbeaas, somewhat modified said
he would call it square if Coolidge
would apologize and send him a
check for the $4,000 he asserted
he had paid out in attorneys fees.
Coolidge apologized and sent the
check. Tebbetts should have con-
sidered that he got S2500 worth
Of publicity and waived the check.
The times are out of joint when
a man as Scotch in his use of words
as Coolidge, gets penalized for talk
ing too much.

Sir Victor Sassoon, wealthy Brit
ish international banker, was con
s~iderably embarrassed in Honolu-
III recently when Mrs. Jeanette
Hyde, collector of customs in Hon
olulu arrested him on a liquor
smuggling charge. He had bought
a case of liquor in Shanghai. Sir
Victor put up $3.50 cash bail, the
usual amount of a fine in such a
case, and then didn't show up for
trial.

ed from the rest of the world as

Recently a ton of hay was shipped
from Durango, Colo, so miles a.
way, to Silverton by parcel post.
The postage amounted to S14, but
it cost the government 500 to de-
liver that ton of hay. But the COWS
got their feed, the children Of Sill
verton got their milk, and the post
office department added $4,000 to
the deficit.

sheriff's sales. These lands en-
braced 100000 acres, one-fourth
the total area of Mississippi. The

ton market and crop failures, will
be given two years in which to re-

Albert Sauvant, French aviator,
recently made a crash proof plane.
He made a miniature model and
placed a lamb in it. The plant was
dropped 500 feet and crashed, but
the lamb was unhurt. Then he
made a full size model intending
to demonstrate its success him
self. The police, considering his
plan fool-hardy, removed the wings
and landing gear. Sauvant had him
self pushed off from the top of a
150-foot cliff. The plane was demol-
ished by the fall, but Sauvant was
unhurt.

FLANK ATTACK ON AGRICULTURE

Farm leaders are beginning to feel that American agriculture is
racing the greatest crisis in its history. There is a subtle and very
DANGEROUS attack being engineered against the farm population of the
Unned States in the efforts back Of the move to repeal the Federal
Marketing act. The repeal of this act would disrunt ta whole 90
operative movement and set agriculture back fifty years.
Last May a a meeting in Chicago representatives of three mil
70 farmers met and passed strong resolutions endorsing the policy
OF the government in its relation to the farmer through the Farm
Marketing act"

MOTORISTS WARNED AGAINST
FALSE ECONOMIES IN SERVICE
Many Owners Are Damaging Their Auto
mobiles in Trying to Do Repair
Jobs Themselves.

mails fail to discourage him. He pulls
out the plstons, prizes off the old rings,
snaps on the new OneS-regardleSs-
and then wonders why he hears some
strange knocks in the motor.
Damaged Motors Revealed.
Some engines. when finally taken
down by the authorized service people,
have revealed rings with the gaps lined
up, permitting perfect blow-by into the
crankcase. Rings are found shifted
about with no regard for which ones
should be used for compression and
which for oil wiping In the work
pistons often are moved from one cylin-
Ger to another with no effort made to
refit the bearings.
Every motorist at some time or other
in his career yields to the temptation
to grind the valves of his motor. He
figures that carbon has cost him plenty
in the years that he has been motor
ing. Comes a Saturday afternoon
when he rolls up his sleeves and an
nounces that he is going to grind his
own. Sunday is anticipated as a day
Of great rejoicing with the car run
ming like so much velvet. But Sunday
comes and the car comes home at the
end of rope.
The most common mistake in carbon
removal is failure to remove all the
carbon from the top of the block and
the cylinder head before placing it
The owner has done such a big Job in
scraping out a wholesale quantity of
carbon from the cylinders that a few
stray chunks of carbon on the block
fail to interest him. When he tries to
make the gasket seal this important
locality, however. he invites trouble.
One small piece Of carbon in the wrong
place can cause a gasket to blow out
usually into one of the cylinders.
Premature Wear Caused.
Abrasive frequently gets into the
valve guides, causing premature wear.
Even though the valves are carefully
cleaned they probably go back into the
motor anything but true to their seats.
When his ears are greeted with SYM
phony of taps the owner figures he
hasn't the right clearance at the tap
pets. He fuses and fuses. But that's
no way to cure a warped valve
He ends by taking up so much clear
ance in an effort to silence the motor
that he burns all the valves on the next
hill Saving money!
False economy is big, sticky thorn
in the side of motOrdOm. The modern
car does not ask much of the owner.

Any other kind of service is too

More economically than mechanically
inclined the car owner is once more
rolling up his sleeves and singing the
little song. Get out and get under "
His voice is luSty. He is out to save
money and do things himself" But
there is a sour note in his ditty.
Cars Being Butchered.
Thousands of cars are being butcher
ed in what Is perhaps the most con-
certed effort ever made to cut service
costs Working with misinformation as
his tool and chance as his workshop the
penny-pinching motorist is going 90 per
cent wrong in his operations. Discords
are the rule. Service men are finding
that half the work in most jobs is un-
doing the owners mistakes.
Even the adjustment of a spark plug
these days calls for skill. Most service
stations willingly do these things for
customers without extra charge, but
many motorist is too busy trying to
cut costs to notice any such simple
facts He is given an extra handicap
by reason of the fact that he has gone
a number of years without keeping up
with cars mechanically. He is trying to
tackle the needs of a 1882 car with a
1922 mind.
Owner Trouble Found.
Service managers find a great deal of
'oWner trouble" especially with the
brakes. After a motorist has paid to
have his brakes adjusted few times
he invariably thinks he can do it him
self. All you have to do is turn a couple
of turnbuckles. Oh yeah? One owner
who did a little turning threw his
brakes out of equalization and is just
now awaiting his turn on the operating
table at the hospital
The quicker an efficient, well-Schooled
mechanic does a brake job. the simpler
the work is made by reason of the use
of one Of the modern brake adjustment
machines, the more certain the owner
Is that he can do the work lust as
well" With most of the newer internal
braking systems it is important to ad-
just at the individual brake shoes to
compensate for wear on the lining or to
achieve equalization. But the bolts on
the brake rods look so much more in
viting. The owner is certain TO tackle
them flrst-and throw things out of
whack
Motors that should be good for many
additional miles of service, with a
moderate amount of oil consumption,
are made fit subjects for the junk heap
by owners who picture replacing piston
