TIRE BALANCE

IIRE BALANCE
1T is impossible to manufac-
ture an automobile tire or tube
in which every inch Of its cir
conference contains the same
weight of materials as every
other inch. This applies to
wheels, rims and brake drums.
That is why balancing is neces-
sary.
MUD HOLES
WHEN POSSIBLE, it will be
found easier to back the car
out of mud or sand. Backing
tends to pull the rear wheels up
out of ruts instead of pushing
wheels down deeper into them.
Another good stunt is to drop a
burlap bag or a skid chain into
the rut behind the wheel.
TRANSMISSION HUM
A LARGE amount Of the
"hum" or "growl" which de-
velops in the transmission and
the differential is due to the
worn bearings, as when the
bearings become worn, not only
will they permit the gears to
become a little too far apart,
but they will allow a certain
amount of side play off the
shaft.
SHORT CIRCUITS
THE FOLLOWING are a few
causes for that puZzling short
circuit: loose connections; de-
fects in the units; worn or OIL
soaked wire; ends of terminals
or bare wires coming in contact
with the metal of the instru-
ment or engine; drop of
water, due possibly to the con-
densation of the moisture in the
air, gathering on the spark
plugs.
IF THE rubber blade of
windshield wiper is allowed to
become worn, the metal holder
may press against the glass
and scratch it permanently.

MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATOR
VIOLATORS

During these days much stress is
laid on operation of motor vehicles
involved in fatal accidents, especial
~ the operator himself, who he Is,
what kind of person he is, and
whether he is a habitual violator:
The Safety Department of this office
mas compiled some figures relative to
the records of these operators who
we're involved in these fatalities,
which take the lives of SO many Of
our citizens of this State, and some
interesting facts have been develop
ed regarding this subject.
For instance, out of Six Hundred
and Sixty-two (662) operators in
volved during the year of 1887, in
the State of Maryland, One Hun
bred and Thirty-six (136) or 20
percent were residents of some other
state, other than Maryland, of which
this office has no record of their re-
spective records. Thirty 600 or 4
percent were operators involved in
dit and Run cases and have been
apprehended. Three Hundred and
Sixty-one (361) or SIS percent were
operators with no previous records.
one Hundred and Thirty-five (135)
or 81 percent were operators with
oravious racOrdS
A total of Eight-five $3.50 opera
.ors paid the costly price with their
lives in these accidents, of which
Nineteen (19) had previous records.
-Four Hundred and eleven (411)
we're more fortunate, Of which One
Hundred and Sixteen (116) had
previous records. A further compila-
ton discloses that out of the total
operators involved, Three Hundred
and Four (304) were residents of
the Counties of this State, and One
Hundred and Ninety-two (192) were
residents of Baltimore City.

ASSISTANCE IN FILING SOCIAL
SECURITY CLAIMS

Baltimore, March H. ANY per.

to file a claim for lump-sum pay.
ment under the old-age insurance
provisions of the Social Security Act
may obtain Official advice and assist
ance in filling out the few simple
forms required, absolutely free of
charge, by calling at or writing to
the Baltimore Field Office Of the
Social Security Board" Mr.. Luther
Becker, Manager Of that Office says.
The attention of the Baltimore
Field Office has been called several
times recently to the fact that some
claimants believe it necessary to EN-.
ploy an agent, have legal training, to
assist them in filing their claims.
Frequently, the fees charged by such
agents have amounted to a very
large part of the lump-sum payment
involved. 'This is absolutely uu-
necessary" Mr.. Becker points out,
'since the Boards field representa-
tives are especially trained to assist
the general public in the prepare
ton of these claims"
Two types of lump-sum payments
are now being made: a. Person
who are now IS years of age and
who have received wages from GOV.
cred employment since January /,
1887, and before fling a claim for
this lump-sum payment; and (2)
Families or estates of persons who
earned wages in covered employment
after January 1, 1887, and before
their death, are also entitled to Ole
claims for lump-sum payments Full
information regarding methods Of
filing claims for these payments, 90
noted above, can be obtained from
Mr.. Luther Becker, to 800 Court
Square Building, in Baltimore.

experimentally between Boston and
New York, using overhead wires of
hard-drawn copper. The distance was
235 miles.
On March 3, 1885, a certificate of
incorporation was filed in Albany,
N. Y, by the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, for the purpose
of effecting INSTRUMENTATION with
one or more points in each and every
other city, town or place in said state
and in each and every other of the
United States and in Canada and
Mexico and also by cable and other
appropriate means with the rest of
the known world"
March z, 1926 saw the first public
test of two-way transoceanic radio
telephony, which was made between
New York and London. On March
80, 1888, radio telephone service be-
tween the United States and the
Philippine Islands was opened.
1t was also in March, the twenty
fifth to be exact, in 1873 that Alex
ander Graham Bell issued in London
a prospectus which gave a vision of
the universally of communication,
which the Bell System now provides.
The following paragraph is quoted
from DR.. Bells prospectus:
"In similar manner it is con-
ceivable that cables Of telephone :
wires could be laid underground or
suspended overhead, communicating
by branch wires with private dwell
ings, counting houses, shops, manu-
factories, etc., uniting them through
the main cable with central office
where the wires could be connected
together as desired establishing di-
rect communication between any
two places in the city,"
Starting from nothing in 1876, the
telephone system in the world has
grown until today it is possible from
your telephone to communicate with
any one of 9,450,O00 telephones in the
United States and 100000 tele-
phones in the world.
In 1900 there were 1856 persons
holding stock in the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company. On
December 81, 1887, there were GAL ,686
stockholders. From mere handful
of workers at the turn Of the century,
tn, Bell System employee family has
grown until there are now 316,77f en-
ployees, including the Bell Telephone
Laboratories and the Western Electric
Company.

How Word Honeymoon Originated

Among the northern nations of
Europe, in ancient times, it was the
custom for newly married couples
to drink metheglin or mead Ia kind
of wine made from honey for thirty
days after marriage. Antiquarians
say that from this custom the
term "honey month";" or "honey-
moon" originated. Whether or not
that is its origin, it is known that
in the days of marriage by capture
the bridegroom remained in hiding
with his bride until her kinsmen tired
of the search for her. Later, when
love entered marriage and elope-
ments were frequent, the bride and
bridegroom remained in hiding for a
while. Both of these "hiding Pc
RODS" seem to point to possible
origins of the honeymoon trip.

HOGS OF TODAY
LEARN TO TAKE
THEIR MEDICINE

Gray Summit, MOTOR many years
doctors have advised patients to swal-
low pills with a glass of water. But
it was not until recently that anyone
figured out that ii would be easier for
hog to take pill the same way. The
ease and naturalness with which the
new type of jaw spreader and water
gun developed here at the Purina Ex-
detrimental Farm, works. cuts down
the amount of labor and time needed
for wOrming hogs, and does far
more effective job than the old meth
of of forcing the medicine into the
animal.
The cost of treating hogs for round
worm by this new method is less than
one pound of pork per hog. Unlhifty
growth and death losses are cut down,
and the feed. instead of gOiLg into the
nourishment of worms, goes into the
building of pork. Pigs can be wOrmed
any time after they have been weaned,
although it Is NOT advisable to worm
diseased hogs or animals that have
been vaccinated for cholera within the
past three weeks. The sooner pigs
are wormed the faster they grow and

Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor
of the telephone and the man who

born, when DR.. Bell and Thomas A.

wires.
On March Z, 1876, a patent was

of the hog, and as soon as the pig
stops squealing. the bulb containing
the water Is squeezed. The force OF
the water washes the pigsule down the
hogs throat and gives him good
drink of water at the same time, SO
that almost before the hog knows
what has happened, he has been
treated. BY this method the hog is
dosed naturally and easily, with min

one worming by this method is enough,
but If a few pigs in the lot continue
to look rough, a second treatment
should be administered.
