Wise Drivers Look
To Transmissions

Il wish every motorist could
know" says Bill Grassland of the
Grassland Mcbilgas station why
auto engineers say a car differen-
tial should be drained flushed and
refilled with the correct lubricant
every 5000 miles or twice a year
He would know, if he had seen some
OF the transmisSicnS gear and-bear-
ing repair bills I've seen in my
time. You'd pay plenty for diff
ferential tear down and reassembly
After that you'd never hesitate
about the few cents necessary for
proper change of gear oil at 5000
mile periods. T.ansmissions and
differential are two mechanismS
that must be serviced now, during
Summer PROBING"

Watch Knee Action.
Saws Bob hatton

Watch the knee action of your
modern car very carefully; other
wise you may be due for a real
headache declares Bob Hatton of
parts of this knee action, or front
wheel suspension, may wear very
rapidly, if regular factory specified
fabrication is neglected Then you're
due for a repair job. You may get
it for as little as So, but quite fire.
quently such jobs run as high as
$35. Right soon, too, you may have
difficulty in getting the necessary
parts. So, this year Summer-proof
fabrication and inspection is more
important than ever to avert trou-

Dear DR.. Clarke:
1 have received so many letters in

Mr.. and Mrs. Homer A. Mann, ma
rooned in the Philippine Islands, that
am led to send you this letter.
Helen and Homer were on the is
land of Masbate, he in the position of
consulting engineer for the Masbate
Consolidated Gold Mining company,
when Manila was bombed, after
Christmas. Previous to that, her par
ents had received radiogram from

In the meantime, the Los Angeles
Examiner published in its In the
News" column arguments in favor Of
sending aid TO General Macarthur.
The poem I had written was So much
IN accord with the facts set forth i'm
Chat column thar I SENT It to Tie edi-
Ton. 1t was published in the Saturday
Symposium 81 the Hearst papers,
throughout the country, it seems,
Judging from the letters [ have re-
ceived but one verse was omitted I
am sending the poem as it was first
written, for I had read in the papers
that the Filipinos ran out cheering
General Macarthur with the words,
In God we trust" which is, or should
be our national slogan, too. "The
Poetry Digest" has asked permission
to include the poem in its 1912 Year
Book
A few days after the poem was sent
to the Examiner, President Roosevelt
made speech over the radio in the
course Of which he said that it did
not seem possible to get aid to Mac
Arthur. He praised MacArthur's brill
liant achievements and said he had
held out beyond all expectations. He
also said am not certain whether it
was in that speech, or a few days lat
er-that if any one would tell him
how to send Macarthur aid, he would
send it, But in his speech, he said,
they were only following the schedule
mapped out from the beginning,
which was to play a delaying game.

one is 'prevaricating a little when the
Administration says it cannot send

Judge Of that, but when one is told in
one breath that one cannot do any
thing a little later in another breath
that it was never planned or intended
to do that thing, what deduction can
one make except to ask, rs the can't"

When I was a timid, shy little girl
and didn't want to do something I
often said, 81 can't" Then, my more
daring and vigorous playmates would

would say, There's no such word as

That seems to be the way the

But President Roosevelt also ex-
