STOPPING SQUEAKS Body squeaks can be suppres- sed with the application of a gra- phitized penetrating oil, especially -around the bolts and at other points where slight motion is sus- pected. WORTH REMEMBERING A spark 'plug insecurely installed in the cylinder will cause leakage. The hot gasses escape between the plug and the cylinder threads, causing the plug to run hot, and resulting in loss of power. ATTEMPT SPEED GAIN Investigations are being conduct- ed in Great Britain of the possibil- ity of increasing the speed of dest- royers in the navy to a mile a min- ute by slight modifications to the hulls on the lines of the largest speedboats without the .employ- ment of greater engine power. REMOVING RUST FROM FENDERS Never use paint to cover the rust on fenders. The best way is to first remove rust spots with sandpaper, surface then given a thorough dusting and followed, by several coats of paint. Painting over rust will cause this oxidation process to break through after the paint is dry 7tO CLEAN SPARK PLUGS Care should be taken not to scratch the insulator of spark plugs with a knife or sandpaper, as they will open the pores, with the result that carbon will collect more quickly. The best way to remove carbon is to soak the plugs in de- natured alcohol, cleaning the in- sulator with a small, stiff brush and a piece of cloth, A COLD WEATHER TIP Motorists whose car are cliffti- cult to start in cold weather should note that a rag dipped in hot water and wrapped around the carbur- etor will usually cause the engine to start promptly. The reason is found in the condensation of gas- oline on the carburetor walls. The hot rag helps to vaporize this li- quid fuel. A NEW RACKET ON THE ROAD Motorists who own expensive-' looking cars are warned of a new "racket" in which they are made the victims. The racketeer drives a dilapidated automobile, man- i neuvrit so the driver of the expen-! sive-looking car will crash into the , old vehicle. The racketeer then at- 1 tempts to collect heavy damages on p the threat of having the driver of p the other car arrested. MIXTURE TOO RICH , If the choke seems .o pull out too far the chances are it does not push in fully and the engine is re- ceiving .too rich a mixture. TOUCH IS DIFFERENT Switching fron an old ear to a new one, the motorist may quest- ion that gears in the later may be shifted more easily. He will find the' question answered negatively,. however, if he will recognize that there may be a considerable dif- ference in the speeds of the en- gines of the two cars, High speed engines require a different touch,- naturally, on the accelerator pedal. CHECK PLUG CABLES Car owners seldom think of spark plug rabies when the ignition system seems to be functioning in- efficiently, Yet, it should be rem- embered that the conditions under which the cable works involve high temperatures and escaping oil which affects the rubber. Cracks in the insulation permit the spark to escape before it reaches the cy- linder or, at least, to diminish in intensity. The charge fires, but weakly. STEP ON BRAKE PEDAL In some of the newer cars with the brake system the same both as to service and parking, it is hard to take off the parking brake. Just depress the service brake•pedal and note the difference. WHEN THE SPARK PLUG FOULS The persistent fooling of a spark I in one cylinder itself being of round or the piston rings may be l worn to the point where a "sloppy 1 piston" results. Sluggish and im-! properly seating valves should be' ground. Burned of corroded distri-, butor points often impair the flew of currant to the spark plug. The particular brush contacts in the distributor head should be wiped out thoroughly clean, DRIVE CAREFULLY OVER WET LEAVES This is the time of the year to be i cautious when driving over fallen t leaves, A dangerous skid or side- s slip is hidden beneath the leaf -cov- ered strech of highway. Do not try to stop suddenly. Leave the clutch engaged, so that the engine will continue to turn the rear wheels sufficiently to maintain the for- ward motion of the car. As the brakes begin to slow• the car down, nerease the pressure gradually and release the clutch just before come ng to a full stop. The best practice s to leave the clutch cngnged, ap- ly the •brakes with increasing ressure, at the sante time aceeler- ate the speed .of the motor with the hand throttle ; as the ear' slows down, decelerate, increase the brake pressure, and release the clutch ,just before bringing the car to a full stop. The action of leav- ing the clutch engaged keeps the ear moving forward enough to pre- vent the leaves from pilling up in front of the wheels, which happens when the wheels are locked, SOUND 1•IORN On a rough road the driver of a car about to be passed is apt to cut to the left suddenly to avoid a hole unless he is warned of your approach. SMOOTH TIRE SLIPS After changing to a well-worrl spare on a rainy day, remember that the smooth ald tiro. will site on the road mole easily then the one re- moved, SLANT ACROSS RAILROAD , TRACKS In driving across an obstruction that lies straight across the road, such as railroad tracks that cross. at right angles, the driver can save his passengers a great deal of bouncing the car a bad bad shaking if he will manipulate his" car so as to cross the tracks on an angle. If this is done the car will lean :first one way and then the other as the right and left wheels strike altern- ately, and much of the. throwing action that is caused by both wheels striking at the same time will be avoided. Cars may be considerably differ- ent these days, but it still is neces- sary to advance the hand throttle when starting a cold engine. Loose lug -bolts holding demount- able rims will cause annoying squeaks. An ordinary nail file is a handy tool with which to clean distributor points. Shimmying of a car is sometimes due to too much lubrication in the front springs. , Oil of high quality and of cor- rect viscosity will prevent the en- gine from getting too hot. Air improperly adjusted brake quicker and is far less efficient than one that is in adjustment. Regular 20 -day inspection of brakes, whether two or four-wheel, insures a driver of being able to "stop" necessary. A thin layer of vaselilte spread over the battery posts and termin- als will prevent corrosion that causes loose connections and finel- y eats away the metal. That piston assembles are re- movable through the bottom of the cylinder accounts for part of the tl reduction in some repair bills, s WEDNESDAY, NOV.

Evans, practical spraying expert in the Department of Bot- any, 0, A. C., emphatically recom- mends that all spray outfits be eleaned up before being put away for the season if the best results are to be obtained next year. They should be carefully overhauled, the tank being filled with water to so- ften the spray residue and after a soak of several days, the machine should be started and the water forced through the pump and hose so that any collection of spray ma- terial will be carried away. As the coater leaves the gun it should be used to wash down the exterior parts of the machine. After empty- ing the tank the drain plugs should be removed and the engine run for a few minutes. It is importaxt to ' see the different parts of the pump are protected by a coating of oil to prevent rust, British Apple Market As an example of the cartes- pondence which reaches the On- tario Department of Agriculture, the following is of interest : "Being so many cases of chicken stealing throughout the province set me thinking and I tumbled to an idea which I honestly believe would be in nearly every case a sure and final tracing and convic- tion of the ones who are doing such work.

JEWELLER WROXETER Fu i Golden Text : } And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all r the face of the earth. (Acts 17 :26). Four brief chapters with a total of only forty-eight verses are pack- ed with some of the most remark- able history moral lessons and Scripture symbolism or typology to be found anywhere in the Bible. There are three reasons for be- lieving, the Book of Jonah to be historical. First, it is written as history ; it purpose to be that and nothing else. Second, its leading character, "Jonah, the son of Amit - tai," is mentioned as a prophet of Israel in the historical hook, II Kings, and by the same description, "Jonah, the son of Amittai" (II Kings 14 : 25), Third, the Lord de sus Christ referred to Jonah and err e ii -,ice as hi=tor"•al fact, not at all as fable or allegory. Christ's reference is unmistakable, in view of what He said at the same time about the men of Nine- veh, to whom Jonah preached (dMlatt, 1.2:38-462), There is little to Jonah's credit anywhere in the Book ; there is much to his discredit. Yet like Jac- ob the Patriarch, gleams of nobil-' ity of character shine out. The charges aginst Jonah may j be noted as these : he rebelled' against God's will, and shirked his plain duty ; after God had shown great Mercy he in turn was merci- 1 less toward others ; he yielded to utter discouragement ; he actually argued with God as though to prove that God was wrong and he, was right. In Jonah's favor it may be said that he was fearless and self-sac- rificing in admitting his gin. and ac- cepting the extretne penalty of death ; he was a true believer in Gori, nd wrote one of the great prayer -psalms of thanksgiving to j God for a nighty delis creme ; Ice preached with power in God 'sI- nante. Here is the 8(017 : God toll Jonah to give Nineveh, the grcateet city in the world of that dal and c'ry against it because of its wick• 1 edness. Nineveh was the Capital of the Assyrian Empire. We can welt imagine the splendor and beauty and externally attractive in that nwst have been there, Ninveh was east of Jonah's land, Israel. The prophet decided to go as far as possible in the other direction, to Tarshish in the far west, by taking ship through the Mediterranean. Dr. Arthur I. Brown, of Vancouver, has said that,' ea Jonah hurried- to Seppa to talte ship, he may have wondered whe•- tiler the ship was still there or pas• s!hly had gone. He found it wait- , ing for him ; for, says Dr, Brown ' Satan always looks after the trans.1 portation when a man is running away from God. A terrible storm broke ; the mariners cried to their ,gods, hut no relief came ; lots were cast, and fell upon Jonah ; when he was questioned he gave a true testi- mony to the true God, confessed ' his sin in having attempted to flee from God and his duty, and told the men to cast him overbord Re- luctantly they obeyed his command„ and evidently were won to faith in the Lord by this incident. For "the sea ceased from her raging." Jonah had turned away from God, but God did not turn away from Jonah. He "had prepared e great fish to swallow up Jonah." Jonah died. His prayer front within the fish proves this. He says lee had been in Shoal, or the place of the dead ; "yet hast thou brought up my life from corrup- tion, 0 Lord my God." Then, brought to life again while within the fish, he was cast out upon dry land, and again God commissioned Nim to go to Nineveh, "and preach unto it the preaching that I hid thee." This time Jonah went, preached powerfully much ate, John the Bap - list must have preached, and one of the most amazing revivals in history followed. From the humbl- est unto the Ring on his throne, The whole population was reach- ed. "So the people of Nineveh be- lieved God."

God's repent• ante!" in a case of this set 1,, .tea ersarily entirely different from man's repentance or mere change of mind ; the expression nears that Godrefrained from the judgment and punishment He otherwise world have had to inflict. The amazing climax ie that "it displeased Jonah exceedingly. and he was very angry.' Bot is it so amazing, after all?
