features of screws. However, if
screws are not properly driven in
the first place, their heads are
damaged by careless workmanship,
this advantage of removal is i'm
paired.
No screw should be driven with
out a pilot hole. The master
craftsman will never start screw
with a hammer. If it's a small
screw and the wood is soft, it is
often unnecessary to start it, or
a sharp punch or brad awl, may
suffice. But for good practice a
pilot hole is bored, slightly smaller
than the diameter of the threaded
part of the screw.
Rubbed With Soap.
Pilot holes in hardwood and for
all but the smallest screws are en-
larged to the depth of the un-
threaded shank of the screw. Then
the screw is rubbed on a piece of
beeSwax, paraffin or soap and
driven into place.
Where the screw head is to be
concealed, a third section of the
pilot hole is widened to the width
of the screwhead and bored deep
enough to accommodate plug of
the same kind of wood as the sur
face. This plug is gued into place
over the screw. sanded smooth and
finished with the surface.
In driving screw, select the
right sized screw driver to exactly
fit the slot in the screw head. If
the blade is too small it may break
or slip from the slot, chewing the
screw head. If it is too large it will
not fit into the bottom of the slot,
slip out and mar the wood.
Use Both Hands.
The tip of the screw driver must
be sharply square. When its edges
become rounded it is dangerous.
Evening star., 1951-09-15

To remove tight screw that
doesn't seem to bulge at first try,
"a slight twist to the right-the di-
Irection in which the screw is
driven often helps to get ii
started. Then twist in the oppo-
site direction.
Magnetized screw drivers, for
holding small steel screws. are
available in any hardware store
Ratchet screw drivers and screw
driver bits for ratchet braces are
very handy tools.
Countersink bits are indispens-
able for sinking fiat and oval heads

Here's Short Course on Using Screw Driver
By Doyid G. Borenther

knowledge of the proper use of
screws and screw drivers is very
important to the household repair
man and home craftsman.
The amateur who thinks screw
driver is such a simple tool that
there is nothing to learn about it
is often the man who uses it for a
can opener, cold chiSel or crow
bar. His house is probably pep
pered with woodwork blemishes
and chewed up Screwheads caused
by wrong sized screw drivers Slip
ping out of slots.
Screws have so much more
holding power than nails that
you'll find them invariably used in
critical places-keeping hinges Sc
curely in place to prevent doors
from notwithstanding locks and
handles-holding heavy parts to-
gether in furniture, such as piano
legs-even fastening in place small
brackets for curtain rods.
Where a screw is called for,
nothing else will quite do the job.
Scores of Varieties.
While there are more than 100
varieties of nails in common every
day use. without counting different
sizes, there are even more kinds of
screws. Wood ScrewS-moSt COM
mon in and around the house
are the tapered, pointed varieties
with rather coarse threads for
gripping wood f1bers.
Machine screws, or bolts, are
made of straight, untapered rods,
threaded to fit nuts.
Ordinary wood screws have
heads that are fiat, round, oval
or filliStered. The undersides of
the fiat head and oval head screws
are bevelled to permit them to be
countersunk into the wood. The
underside of round head and fill
lister-head screws are fiat, leaving
the Screwhead above the surface
of the wood.
In addition to the usual slotted
screws, driven with ordinary screw
drivers, there are Phillips screws
with two V-slots crossing at the
center. These can be driven only
with a Phillips screw driver. They
are commonly used in mass assem-
bly, work-automobile trim, radio
cabinets and furniture. The ad-
vantage is that no time is wasted
fitting the screw driver into the slot
and the screw driver is not apt to
slip out to damage expensive
finishes.
Sturdy Lag Screw.
Then there is the lag screw
a large wood screw with a square
unslotted head like that of a bolt.
This is used in heavy construction
where maximum strength is
needed. The lag screw is driven
with a wrench.
A drive screw is combination
screw-nail. 1t has a very coarse
spiral thread. pointed tip and q
slotted head for removal.
The advantage of being able to
remove screws and take work
apart without damaging the men,
bers is one of the most important

The Most Dreaded
Enemy of Liberty

Of all the enemies to public hber.
ty war is, perhaps, the most to be
dreaded, because it comprises and de.
velops the germ of every other. Wa1
is the parent of armies; from these
proceed debts and taxes; and armies
and debts land taxes are the known
instruments for bringing the many
under the domination of the few.
In war, too, the discretionary power
of the Executive is extended; its in
fluence in dealing out offices, hon
ors, and emoluments is multiplied !;
and all the means of seducing the
minds, are added to those of subdu-
ing force, of the people =. (There is
also am inequality of fortunes, and
the opportunities of fraud, growing
out Of state of war, and de-
generacy of manners and of morals
-. No nation could preserve its
freedom in the midst of continual
Ut should be well understood) that
the powers proposed to be surrend-
cred (by the Third Congress- to the
Executive were those which the Con-
stitution has most jealousy approp-
rated to the legislature.
The Constitution expressly and
exclusively vests in the Legislature
the power of declaring state of war
the power of raising armies .
the power of creating offices. :.
A delegation of such powers Ito
the President) would have struck,
not only at the fabric of our Consti-
tuition, but at the foundation of all
well organized and well checked gov
ernments.
The separation of the power of
declaring war from that of con-
Quoting it, is wisely contrived TO
exclude the danger of it's being de-
clared for the sake of its being
conducted.
The separation of the power of
raising armies from the power of
commanding them, is intended to
prevent the raising of armies for the
sake of commanding them.
The separation of the power of
offices from that of filling
them, is an essential guard against
The temptation to create offices for
The sake of gratifying favorites or
dependents. - JAMES
