HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1919-12-11, Page 2• Rattling Tire Chains. The common method o£ locking spare tires Is to use a chain and ttad- loek. The only trouble with the idea. le the noise incident to the rattling oe the Chain and the fact that it tears the lintel( of pints with which jt comes in Contact. Some oar owners cover this chain with a bit of hose, but this is usually too stiff and is somewhat noisy and even permits marring the finish. A bit of leather or heavy substitate, the length of the chain and wide enough to forma tube to enclose the chain offers a satisfactory solution of the :problem. Turn in the edges of the leather case and ii you cannot do the job yourself, the nearest harness maker will maize the tube for you. Power Losses. Leaks mean power wasted, lost. The leak may be of water, fuel or oil, but no matter what et is it wastes power, Slight Leaks here and there may cause a total loss of power that will be seri- ous. There are dozens of joints in the engine, and each one may spring a leak under certain conditions, Good gasketing is the best insurance againet leak's, but it is not all the .bat- tle. The joints must be inspected fre- quently. If you are not sure of the existence of a leak, squirt a little oil over the suspected spot; bubbles will tell the tale of a leak. Cylinder head holding down nuts should he tightened occasionally, The inlet manifold, if it is outside the casting, should be tightened to the carburetor and cylin- der block. Remove the pan under the engine and see if there is any drip- ping. Go over the three major sys- tems, water, gas and oil, and stop any leak found. For :oil paper gasketing is best. Use wrapping .paper and be sure there is no break in the gasket at any paint, around she stud' holes, Asbestos coated with graphite makes the ;best gasket for inlet manifolds, carbureter flanges and similar loca- tions. Joints that carry hot gases - should be fitted with gaskets of copper covered asbestos., In certain cars special types of gaskets are recom- mended for various locations. These types .should be purchased from the service stations and used as directed. The ,important thing is to insure against leaks, for every leak means a power loss. CROSBY'S KIDS Doh RAST COME YE t Tire Chains. Tire chains aro practically always used in wet weather cued care is neces- sary to keep them from getting rusty, The chains should always he dried orf before they are returned t,, the tout box after use. Especially should the clamps be looke+l after. .A. little cup grease or vnseline will prevent rusting and elim{nate the trouble of prying them open or using a hammer to close them, There should always be carried in the tool kit a crosspiece tool and one or two extra cross chains. With this tool broken cross chains May be re- moved or replaced very easily. Overheating Preventive. In cars that use thermo-syphon cool- ing, the water system should always be kept completely filled. If the water level drops considerably, the circula- r tion of the water will be reduced and man, even where the prime source may even be stopped altogether. With was a British hunter.

Seat covers may usually be cleaned very satisfactorily with a non -alkaline soap and warm water. The best way to carry out the job is to take the covers off and give them a good scrub- bing on the board. RE -STOCKING THE WORLD'S Z S WAR PLAYED HAVOC WITH CAPTIVE HERDS. In the World of the Wild Beast Trader "Reconstruction" Really Means Something. Visitors to the famous Gardens in Regent's Park are dismayed to see ee many gaps in our national collection, says a London writer. The lion - houses sadly disappoint the children, so empty are they now. Our giraffes have gone to happier hunting grounds, and only "Big Maggie" survives. Of all the sportive sea -lions we had five years ago, every one died- daring the war, because the fish they needed could not be obtained. It was the salve story 'of loss all round, from rhinos and hippos to the tropical birds. It is not necessary to set out the impressive figures of a day's proven. der for the London Zoo. Bat it the careful housewife were at bar wits' end in catering, what of a scientific body that has elephants to feed, as well as troops of beers and every Jungle creature, from monkeys to bur.- faloes, and from crocodiles to birds of paradise 7 The whole collection was rationed in draetio style, with the inevitable re atilt that specimens passed Pram Re- gent's Park to the National History Museum in Cromwell Road, where the Boras shown are only stuffed ones, and the big snake is a twirly arrangement of whitened bone. Substitute footle quito in the Ger- man ersatz way, were tried; but horseflesh, Camouflaged with oil, could riot save the sea -lions. Tigers and leopards wilted visibly on the nasty stuff given them.. A Trade Worth $10,000,000 a Year. Really, the feeding of a Large Zoo in war -time was far from a joke. Enemy cities like Vienna and Pestle Berlin and Hamburg and Munich. mt- douhtedly ate their Zoos --as beleag- uered Paris did in 1871, when an Eng- lish 'Mather contractees for camel • meat, 'and smelt reetnttrants had on ' their menus elephala steaks and cote- lettes de Hlgre et a g::at pl'1e'e. We ihav'e big su::kes tend lizards that uee+l fresh eggs dud other dainties. Our tropic birds love to peel: at oranges, bananas, and sueblike fruits. Everyone knows the Price of these during the war, and there were times when it was simply impossible to buy at any price for Zoo inmates the special food upon which they thrive behind captive bars. But now the war is over, all the curators, from London to Sydney, and from .t uetet'dam to Buenos Aires, are placing orders with wild beast trap- pers in all parts. It is a little-kuown trade, worth $10,000,000 a year, and the men engaged in it wage perpetual war against Nature in her most for- bidding moods,. The king of hunters was surely the late Captain F. C. Sclous, who dropped itis elephant -gun, and took a service rifle to defend his country's cause in the East African campaign, where be s0 -nobly died. Dutch trappers and traders have a good stock of Zoo specimens on handl.

A horse's tail well plaited with straw, with the straw ends turned up, marks him as for sale, but garulshed more roughly with straw wisps intake him as a kicker, Straw tied to the stall also indicates a kicking horse, and, in similar fashion, a bundle of straw on a gate post at a short out may give warning of an unruly bull within. Some farmers give further notice by fastening a bundle of straw on the animal's horse, In the country, in winter and spring, the foxbunter always watches for straw: when he comes upon it tied on top of a tall red polo he must look out for barbed wire; when hedges are strewn with straw he must rein up to keep out of new -sown wheat or clover fields, During the shooting season on the Yorkshire rpoors tail sticks are placed along the pathways, and hung with straw.

" One of our most popular actor., was enjoyiug a little after-the•shaty 15015' per with a small party of friends one night recently, when the conversation ' drifted around to facial expression up- on the stage, some contending that actors failed utterly to achieve an ex- pression similar to that which they would wear if the stags conditions were real, °there that the imitations were genet'alty good. "'Peke the expression of absolute astonishment Will menages to get on his face in that third net," one of the latter cited, and then asked, turning to the actor, "How did yeti manage to clo it, anyway. It was s.) natural that for an instant I thought something un- toward had really occurred, off stage, Flow did you get it?" "Studied it from nature, nay boy, Prom nature" the actor replied, with well simulated pompo0Kness. "I al- ways do," cI@ was this way," he continued, ig- noring the good-natured grins. "1 had tried for a.. week during rehearsal, and couldn't work up the expression I thought the situation demander!. Then I got to thinking. I asked a good friend to lend' me $10. He refused, but this caused ane no surprise, Again I tried, and this time the hill was handed to me. I could see my reilec- tion in a mirror behind my friend, and while surprise was depicted on my, fea- tures, it was not absolute astonish. ment—such things had happened to. me before---en0e or twice, anyway. "Ily determination was now roused, and I resolved upon a heroic course, one which only my true. devotion to my art could have induced eve. I re- turned the $10 to my friend.
