Sometimes troubles in small motors
can be corrected easily. Other faults
must be corrected by those who are
specially trained and who have spe-
cia1 equipment If the motor needs
cleaning only, this can be done by re-
moving the armature and cleaning
with soft brush. If the commutator
is coated with oil, it should be cleaned
with carbon tetrachloride, or Carbona
as it is frequently called. If the wind
ings are burned out they can be re-
paired only by someone familiar with
that type of work, and frequently it
is cheaper to buy a new motor than
to have such repairs made.

-DAIY SHORT STORY
 HERDS WAY When the Time Came to Go He Went Bravely
 As His Character Demanded

after your coat he turned to me and asked me to prnnise that when he was gone. I'd always look after you"
 "Oh, Brucel"
 Don't take 1t that way, darling. It's much better that he does know, and that he knows I always will take care of you" Suddenly he reached for her hand, held it very tight. But I hate to think of 1t being this way. When your time comes, you've got to face 1t. But when mine comes, I want to be finished, all at one time. When 1t happens to me, I want to go :. flying"
 T know, Bruce. that's the hardest thing for Tom to bear, think. He always used to say that when his number was up, he wanted to go that way. Remember when he had pnuemonia three years ago, and we never thought he'd pull through?"
 "Remennher itl"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-15

well, Tom told me afterward that he'd felt he had to pull through had to get well, because because when 1t happened to him, he want ed. to be flying. And now. -" They started along the edge of the field, the sunlit dust rising in little clouds around them. Overhead, the drone of a motor that marked the scarlet monoplane's path was growing faint. Suddenly Lois stopped, looking up, and drowned. Look, Bruce-the red plane up there isn't that the one? Didn't we leave Tom talking to the pilot?" His gaze followed hers. "Yes, I think it is." "Oh I hope he hasn't left Tom alone down there! Come on, Bruce, hurry up .. we never should have left him in the first place :"
 "He wouldn't have left Tom
 alone"
 But the young man quicked his pace just the same. No use in up- setting Lois, he reflected, but he had
 8 strange premonition that some thing had gone wong. He took the
 girls arm and hurried her through
 a line of parked cars.
 Another little cloud of sunlit dust
 rose from the field as round-
 faced boy came to meet them. The
 girls face grew suddenly white.
 Bruce, look! There's the pilot!
 But Tom isn't with him!"
 They ran the last few steps across the field. Overhead the drone of
 8 motor had grown very faint and far away.
 "Hey-hey you!"
 The round-faced boy hurried to-
 ward them.
 What's the matter? Anything
 wrong?"
 "Where's Tom. where's Captain RoscoeP"
 "Why-he's up." "Up? What do you mean?" "Why-"the boy stared at them in bewilderment. Wed been talk ing about the new monoplane, and he asked me if he could try her out, and gosh was tickled to death to have Captain Roscoe take her up, and so =" He turned and followed their gaze. The litle scarlet monoplane seemed to be faltering in its path toward the afternoon sun. Far out there in the mists 1t began to circle crazily, wildly. without direction. The round-faced boy gave 8 sud- den exclamation. "Say-what's the matter with him up there?"
 Bruce caught the girls arm sud- denly. Don't look, Loisl" But what's the matter? Why should =" From the distance came the sud- den shrill sound, like human scream, of the little monoplane fall- ing. Loils turned to the young pilot. her face ashen. "Oh you foll .. you fool! Could- mt you see he was blind?" Copyright 1885, The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

 The scarlet monoplane was flying straight into the path of the sun.
 There was a curious smile on the white, thin face of the man at the controls. Somewhere down on the field were Bruce and Lois, arm in arm perhaps. Perhaps they were watching the little red monoplane, not guessing who was taking 1t on that flight toward the sun.
 Only that morning he had over heard them talking. He had asked 8 neighbor boy to help him out into the garden, where his ears, grown acutely sensitive to the faint est shadow of sound, had picked up their conversation.
 They loved him, those two. He had known that, of course, all along. And they loved each other, too. He hadn't known that before this morning.
 There was another thing, too. The doctor had told Lois that it would be all finished in 8 few months. He hadn't known that before, but he'd suspected it for 8 long time.
 He knew something else, that Lois didn't imagine he knew. They were nearly out of money now. Hospital expenses and doctors bills had been high. Now, the continual drain of caring for @ helpless in- valid was rapidly using up what was left.
 Suddenly the scarlet monoplane took on added speed.
 The man and woman down on the field watching it were not seeing it very clearly. While their eyes fol- lowed 1t mechanically, their thoughts were far away from what had now become little red speck in the mists against the sun.
 "Lois," said the man softly, Lois, it's been a long time since I've seen Tom as happy as he's been this aft ernoon.
 She nodded slowly. T know. We ought to bring him out here often- CT. I've thought a lot of times that it would only. make him unhappy but that was a mistake. It does him 8 lot of good to come down here and chin with the boys around the field, just the way he always used to do."
 There was little silence and when Bruce spoke again his voice was very gentle.
 Lois, Tom knows that he isn't going to be around long"
 She turned to him, wide-eyed.

ROSSLYN PULLS
SURPRISE BY
WINNING
BY SID KATZNELL


Probably the biggest surprise
of the current duckpin season
was the Rosslyn teams recent
Ladies District League pennant
victory.
Although Rosslyn was consid-
cred formidable team before
the season started, it was not
considered to be in the same
class with the Lucky Strike aggre-
CATION, defending champions. The
Lucky Strikers were captained by
the renowned Lorraine GULL, No.
ranking duckpinist.
Such capable performers as
Lucy Rose, Evelyn Ellis, Ruth
Rothgeb, Blanche Wootton, May
Sperber and Mrs. Gait Davis,
rolled with Rosslyn. Miss Rose
was high average bowler on the
team with 104-52. Evelyn Ellis
was second, with 104-40.
Bill Wood girls took second
place and Lucky Strike finished
third.
Lorraine GULL was again the
big star of the league. She was
high average bowler, with 114-68,
made the most strikes, with Al
strikes, and the most spares, 221.

GOAL|E MAYER
SEEKS POST
HORIZONTAL

Dame Opportunity knocks but
once, so they say.
Carl Mayer, reserve goa1ie for
the German Americans has heard
her rap and expects to take
advantage of an opportunity to
clinch the regular goalie job Of
the Teutons.
For two years Mayer has
strived hard to capture a regular
berth. Last season Heinie Heise,
veteran goalie, outshine him.
This season Heise retired from
active duty and Mayer had
visions of playing goal, but Fred
Watson joined the club and took
that position from him. Wat
son, however, is making a trip
to West Virginia for the Easter
holidays, thereby giving Carl the
opportunity to GUST him from
the regular position.
Manager Fritz Wagner will
have his entire team, with the
exception of Watson, reday for
this game and if he can over
come the players overconfidence
expects to take the first game of
the three-gam series with the
Newport News (Va) Kickers.
This game will be played on Ben
ming Field at 2:30 p. m. and
the series will determine a cham
pion for the Southeastern Divi-
sion.
The Virginians have been prac-
ticing hard for this game and
with a mixture of old country
and American style of soccer
will be no pushover for any club.

Tech shouldn't be a winner"
Thursday, Coach Hardell took
his men over to Alexandria for a
dual meet with Episcopal High.
The team not only won a one-sided
82-to48 margin, but looked sensa.
tional while turning the trick.
Now the idea back of all this is
the fact Hardell again possesses
a crack track team under his wing
despite his efforts to hide it. He
most always has capable teams
whenever he means to the con.
trary, and this years cinder path
representation promises to be no
exception.
Began Looks Good
George Began appears to be the
star trackster on this 1885 team.
Many go so far as to believe this
lad is the fastest man developed by
Hardell since the days of Charlie
Pugh.
Whatever is the case, Began has
talent. Against Episcopal, the
speedster copied the 100 and 900.
yard dashes with ease. He ended
the day by running easily in the
mile relay-an event which found
Began and his team mates, EN-
merich, Hayden and Green, chalk.
ing up a new school record of 1923.
Others on this great Tech
track team include Harry March,
Justin McKenna, Paul Lynch
and Frank Haske, field event
men. Against Episcopal these
youngsters didn't show up as well
as Hardell hoped.
Competition Tough
But they were competing
against powerful field event art.
lists now representing Episcopal.
In the high meets, they
should fare a little better, since
the competition will not be as
tough. At least the indications
point this way as things now
stand.
Tech has the Easter holiday
period before it today, but when
school commences again a week
from Monday, the lads will
get busy in practice sessions for
important meets at Maryland,
the Penn Relays, the inter-high
and &C" Club games.
