What are the grounds for the high hopes we have for the excavations which are about to b4. _(it, First, the manner 11 011e1 Ile reuliiue am was buried. The more sucidetily a city is buried, the more Otani... there is for future generations h, find the' lir,. of 11 fixed and preserved. The burial of Herculaneum was solid •u and com- plete, and this was not the' case with any or the neighbnrins cities, nut even Pompeii. Pompeii is about 5 ".i miles Iron, the foot of Vesuvius, but Herculan- eum is only 41e. Pompeii was bur- ied to a depth of about 20 feet un- der a shower of ashes and pumice - stone which bless, out of the 11:0(1'. The Inhabitants lied _nod rat5nn hr Trope that their city rn1111. fie saved, and many of their lingered on 11. their cellars and elsewhere. They had plenty of time to remove their valuables, but with Heretilaneum it was quite dilfferent. The city was suddenly overwhelmed by a mass of liquid mud and a,thes mixed with water. 'rho inhabitants fled before the advancing peril, leaving their property behind them. Unlike the Pompeilans they could not dig their way back to their houses when the eruption was over, because the en- tire city was submerged, in some places to a depth of 80 fest. Every ancient city, except those around Vesuvius, has passed through the dark periods of warfare and de- struction. When we come to think of the sieges, the pillagings, the sackings and burnintas which great cities like Rome or Byzantblm have undergone, we can hardly be surpris- ed that archaeologists can scarcely find a trace of their former treasures. And what man spares nature destroys on her own account. 13y an absolutely unique set of circumstances, Herculaneum has es- caped this common fate, Struck down in the full beauty and vigor of her youth, she was embalmed as perfect- ly and completely as the ancient Pharaohs of -E'gy'pt. The tide of 11 - quid mud and ashes which over- whelmed the city ath'aneed slowly, Pressing gently through the win- dows and doors of the houses so as to cause no brealr.iges, It became a :.1(:•t of matrix round the objects of furniture, preserving them from disintegration. So perfect a preservative was it that several of the bronzes found in Herculaneum might Have just left the sculptor's hands. Isven too manuscripts found there were legible a.1'ter special t1'eatm(ot. Perhaps it is the chance of dis- covering some of the missing classics in Herculaneum that is the most ex- citing prospect of all. The whole educated world has been enthusias- fas,tle about the remarkable manu- script found in the tombs of Egypt, and no doubt many more 1v111 come to us from the same source, but Egyptian manuscripts can only be found in fragments because of the way they were used in tombs. It is quite different in the case of Herculaneum, In one villa a complete library of 800 manuscripts was dis- covered. It was particularly unlucky that the owner happened to be a man who specialised in Epiucrean philoso- phy—and In the dullest of the Epi- curean writers at that. But not everyone in Herculaneum waS 51011 a specialist. Who known what awaits us in the ether private libraries of the city? A11 the Greek tragedies and comedies may be there in their completeness. The missing works of Plato, the lost books of Livy may at last come to lights It Is even possible that we may find let- ters and records referring to the earliest days oe Christianity. The presence of these libraries brings us to another point of differ- ence between Herculaneum and Pompeii. Pompeli was a thriving provincial town, commercial in tone and character. Not a single manu- script has been found in it, and the only tablets discovered were those of an auctioneer. But Heresulaneom was not a commercial town at all; it was a seaside resort for many o the leaders of the Itonlan world who built their villas at its walls. To excavate 1•IOrelrtaneum will be an iintrense task, but not an impos- sible one, as it was long imagined to be. it subsequent eruption of Vesuvius spread a coating of lava on top °fettle Hurd, which buried the e.lty in 79 A.D., and for hundreds of years it was thought that the town was sealed up 111 solid rock. Fortun- ately this is not tine case. When once the outer crust of lava has boon pierc- ed, vertical shafts can easily be sunk. Then by tunneliing horizontally the whole 'of Herculaneum can be exece vatted bit by bit, while the modern town of Resina rests securely ofd the lava above it, !

This throws the car out of balance and puts great strains on the springs on the side where the weight ie. carried. A one-sided load puts ex- tra(stra:,ns on the rear axle and other parts of the car. SEE THAT THE LOCKS LOCK One of the locking devices that gets very littler inspection on the ;lverage car ie that on the wheel rim. Fairly exposed to the elements, these lodes are subject to rust and, as a result considerable wear. If in- spection shows them to be Tautly it is wise to have them repaired at once or replaced. Few motorists 0ive much thought to the real importance of th-se lucks, but they play :l1( im- portant though inconspicuous role in motoring safety.

KEEP STEERING WHEEL FIRM , It sst lltial that tlx: steering r• be kept tigitt 1,3 frequent in - o, cein:r and maintenance. 1t should 1e solidly anchored to the main frame, the point at which much of the sti,ering strain and shock centres W10.11 the front - wheels hit obstrue- 1 ,ne in the road. There should be tb • .ana1L'st possible play without causing binding in any position. With all play taken out when the wheels a4., directed straight ahead, the steering should be perfectly free to the extreme right and left. It is nest to save the steering gears by not turning the wheels when the car is not moving. Quick manipulation is required, especially in parking within a small spa00, to turn the wheels back and forth while the car is moving, but that is the only- way to do so without harming the steering system. Jack up the front wheels when greasing the steering gear. Tire flaps wear after hard usage and should be replaced occasionally to protect the tube. Tres t ..should be inflated at the rc- conl.ulended pressure the same in the summer as in the winter. REMOVING SPOTS OF GREASE Syncing up the car may call for the removal of spots on the finish caused by grease or oil. A little gasoline applied with a soft cloth will serve to good street. If the surface remains dull after this treatment polish it with linseed oil. The an - der surfaces of fenders may be quite a problem if one does not go about cleaning them in the right way, Heavy suds, vigorously applied, will work wonders. The parts should be thoroughly rinsed afterward, to a- void any pos;i'ble damage to the fim h from the soap solution. In many cars today, interior fit- ings of silver plating usually are lacquered. They should not be po- ished, because rubbing will damage the, finish. If the iacquer is worn off the parts should be replaced and a - again lacquered. • 'When inserting a connecting' rod bushing and using a vase for the lob, it is well to put some protective sheet metal between the jaws of the vise and the bushing to keep the softer metal from being marred, Flat, straight pieces of street brass or cop- per fit ideally in this particular case. .,n.4.:..,,®. ......�.,� hay v: of,�:'ontacts If you, as a merchant, could be constant- ly meeting new prospective customers, you could ]seep your business healthy and flour- ishing without advertising.
