"The psychology of a round of the careless and indifferent once or twice a year and the feet that their off -spring- accumulations of rub- bish and litter are cast to the four winds of heaven, trends to impress the sarnmunity at large with the necessity of conserving the nation's ,'rsources from destruction of fire."

Empire Grown Oranges Britain is out to encourage em- pire oranges. One-third of all the oranges that are exported by the lands where the fruit is grown go to Britain. Already some parts of the empire are taking a hand in the orange trade. South Africa supplies Britain evith six per cent. of her imports, and will probably be send- ing much more in a few years. Aus- tralia, Rhodesia and Cypress are also growing quantities of oranges. Cannot Get Damages For Cow Car Killed Appeal From Disagreement err Huron County Alleges Mis- direction of Jury. Contending that Judge Lewis of Huron county is wrong in presuming that a cow ran be con- trolled while being led along the highway, Maitland Driver appealed to the second divisional court at ()secede Hall last Thursday from a disagreement of the jury in his ac•• tion for 5120 against Peter Mac- Ewen, Inc the loss of a cow which was struck by defencant's motor cr. Appellant aim pleads that the judge, misdirected the jury by tell- ing them that in the event of their not relying at an agreement by seven o'clock, they were to bring in a disagreement . Justice Riddell said it was wholly novel for a judge to tell the jury to bring in a disagreement if they had not reached an agreement by seven o'clock. 1 Justice Orde : "It loops like an accident for which no one was re- sponsible except the cow perhaps." Mr, Waldron informed the court that the cow died from neritonitis, it having, been struck by the car when it "turned its stern around to the left side of the road." "That is what a cow would have done, naturally," Mr. Waldron claimed. Justice Riddell : "How do you know that?" Justice Orde "A cow is a dan- gerous animal to come in contact with on the road." Mr. Waldron : "Where did your lordship learn that? (Laughter) This case is of paramount import- rr to rural Ontario." } Chief Justice Latchford r "The I appeal is' perfectly hopeless and must be dismissed."

(13y the Left Hand Monkey Wrench) SIMPLE PLAN TO REPLACE , COTTER PINS Its is often difficult to put into 'cotter placr. a filer when replac- ing nuts, The work ran be simp- lified by marking the end of the bolt with a chisel or file to indicate the direction of the hole in the bolt. ATTENTION TO WHELL" ; BEARINGS 1' Very. few, operators stop to think that the front wheel hub bearings - need a fresh supply' of grease fre- o quently. If too much is put in, the grease will worn out on the side of the hub and cause a dirty wheel and pivot joints. If the hub cap i; ta- ken off and a small quantity of grease installed about every 1,000 oY 1,500 miles the life of the bear- ings will be greatly prolonged. IN CASE OF FIRE If the carburetor catches fire, do not give way to panic. Shut off the gasoline at the tank and start the engine if possible. A self-starter is useful here, but every one should spin it by hand, if necessary. 'This draws the flames into the carbure- tor, where it will do no harm. Wa- ter from the radiator may be thrown on burning woodwork, but never on a pool of burning gasoline cr on the floor, as it only spreads the fire. WORTH REMEMBERING Glaring headlights confuse those approaching from the opposite direc- tion, and cause those going en the same directon to turn up in the rear view mirror to escape "eye - burn." The best method to aerate:: bright lights is to keep the wind- shield clean of all duet and traffic the results of another de vers. shield clean of ail dust and traffic film. 'It is the glare against the par- ticles that blinds the eye. That means that the windshield should he washed with water and soap at least once during a night Jrifing trip in the city. OIL 1N THE CRANKCASE Frequently changing of Gaul crankcase of automobiles is unne- cessary, provided the machines are equiped with oil filters. Oil does not. wear out from use. However, other troubles may arise. The vise osity, or body of the oil in the crankcase may be cut down by dilution avith gasoline that escitpes past leaky pis- ton rings until the oil becomes too thin to lubricate properly. Besides this dilution trouble, there may be corrosion from accumulation of acid due to execssive sulphur in the gasoline. MISSING SPARK PLUG CAUSE: MUCH TROUBLE Six different kinds of trouble can be attributed to missng spark plugs These are : (1) Sluggish engine ; (2) slow pick-up ; (3) loss of Power ; (4) hard starting ; (5) engine loses power on hard pulls and cuts out at high speeds ; (6) incomplete combustion, gas Sets into crankcase, dilutes the oil and cuses formation of carbon, exces- sive wear on piston, cylinder walls and bearings. MUCH WEAR ON CARS BADLY USING CLUTCH Carelessness in handling the clutch creases more wear on ears than any other one thing, Many dc"" Jet in the clutch with such stmeennesss as to cause the driving wheels to turn a little on their tapered axle ends. Looseness at this point actually be- comes a safeguard ; otherwise pin- ion and ring gear would have to endure more strain than at pres- e•nt, Sudden stepping ee the sae pedal is more apt se strain flea clutch and the rest of the drive line, though it also frequently loosens the gear wheels front the 021.1(5, injures the univr•.rsal points, strains the spokes of the wheels and and helps 'burn up tires, Clutches are des igned for easyoperation and if the engine is speeded beyond the point where the car itself .can immediately follow,' the clutch plates will slip. This heats them up and maypermanently. damage them, Often when a clutch slips it will heat up and expand, resulting in sudden grabbing that is particularly hostile to the drive line STORAGE BATTERY TIPS Neglect of the storage battery will render the engine .useless. ICeep the batttery within its naiad -- mum charge at all times and never permit it to stand in a discharged state, Do not charge or discharge the battery too quickly. Care must be taken to keep the top clean and before filling it with distilled water, wipe the surface well before un- screwing the filter caps. It is a good plan to rub the lead terminals with a rag on which is some vasellne, at this will protect them from being corroded by any acid which migl he spilled. To keep the plates cove ed with water is most important. BAD. BRAKE HABITS Apart from the neglect of bra the drivers are likely to get i bad habits such as relying, enti. on the foot -brakes and never us or never testing the emergent Then, when they are wanted badly the emergency brakes may be fou out of order or rusted fast, so th they are useless. Another bad ha is that of using the brake. harshly. It is bad practice to appl the brakes severely except in th case of an emergency where a st has to be sudde and as sudden as poss:ule. In col ing up to a pre -intended stopple place, the brakes should be appli only as a final -check to stop the c' exactly at the spot intended. The life of the average automo bile is six years and nine months. Clear vision is of major import- ance for safety driving. The car ahead will exhaust more unpleasant fumes when going down hill than when climbing up hill. Badly worn universals will cause a rapping noise as the ear coasts with the clutch disengaged. Spark -plugs gaps, oreaker points and ignition cables should -be check- ed hecked periodically- about every 1,000 miles. A castle nut, started over a bolt, with the slots first, will resore bur- red threads of a bolt, or stud almost as readily as a -die. Universal joints are strained bb sudden application of power especi- ally if they are worn to a point where they are loose. When parking never r'_c"o the car close to the one alreaay at the curb. Always leave enough space in which to manoeuvre. in this way there will be no danger of damag- ing the fenders when leaving the space. 0 The finest crown in the lot of Russian crown jewels is decked with 32,800 carats of diamonds. Fifteen days will be saved ;n the transportation of crops from the Pacific to the Atlantic roast and European markets upon completion of the new Guatemala -San Salvador railway by Interior railways efCen- •+tral America, which is spending $12,000,000 to finish the line. MAKE NO MISTAKE One of the best habits one can cultivate is reading the small "Buy and Sell" ads, on the back page of THE POST care- fully and regularly each week, There is always something of interest to be found in them and buyers and sellers who are anxious to get in touch with each other in the quickest and most sat- isfactory way can make no mistakes in using this column.
