But Ernest Dawson knew—knew,
and with sealed tips anxiously, loyally
watched the non he loved and re-
.peeted.
It was in the midst of one Of his
reckless bouts of dissipation and at a
notorious gambling resort. Glennon,
flushed with wine, had played away
his last dollar In cash and was just
about to give his note to make a new
bet, when Pewstn, the handy man

with tete .stirring words:

into an alley and led to the nearest
street to recognize his guide as'Ernest
Dawson.
"What does this mean," he had
asked bewilderedly.
"A false alarm! I have saved you
at the risk of losing my position," was
the ready announcement. "You re-
memher tossing me a liberal tip a
week ago when you had won a big
sum? It came to me wheu I needed

their clutches, I sprang the false sig-
nal of a raid. Do not be offended, but
I feel I have saved you from ruin, for
once they got you indebted to them
they would pursue you to the limit.
That is their system."
The result was that Glennon realized
that he had grazed a precipice. The
further result was that he interested
himself in young Dawson. Behold! at

During the last quarter of 1927,
ending December 31, there was only
one aviation accident. This was in
the loss of the H.S. 2L boat G.Caah
owned by the Ontario Air Service,
on October 19, 1927, which resulted
in the death of G. W. Fitchie, pilot,
and serious injury to its passenger,
A. F. Grant. The plane was wreck-

A TIRE TIP
Never tempt fate with tires that
are badly worn. Wear out the old
ones in day-to-day service, not on
the tour. Higher speeds call fbr
higher tire pressures. From three to
five pounds over the normal is es-
sential.
Study Engine Gauge
It is advisable to inspect the en-
gine oil level guage on the crankcase
every day, adding new oil as re-
quired. By following this practice
there is never any danger of injur-
ing the engine even slightly by lack
of oil.
The "Pepless" Engine
When the efficiency of the engine
starts to drop, it is possible that the
piston rings need to be changed.
Other causes may be warped or burn

SHE KNEW BETTER
ADJUSTMENT NECESSARY
With the corning of warm wea-
ther the car is in constant use. Less
current is needed to operate the
starter, the lights are not so fro•
quently used, and the cards driven at
higher speeds and for longer periods.
For these reasons the battery is of-
ten overcharged, and if this condi-
tion is kept up serious battery dam-
age will result through plates buck-
ling. Some drivers leave their lights
burning on long trips to reduce the
current going to the battery, but at
best this' is a makeshift arrange-
ment. The best plan is to drive into
a service station and have the charg-
ing rate of the generator changed
for summer conditions. This takes
but a few minutes, and is a precau-
tion well worth while. Then check
the battery cables for tightness, and
keep them coated with vasoline or
grease to prevent corrosion.

A society woman called on a fam-

Her ceaseless chatter did sot per-

allowed him to say, "We had boiled

but makes inspection of the chassis
easier, and very often brings to light
things which need adjustment, such
as loose nuts and other parts that
may cause trouble on the road.
LUBRICATION KEEPS CARS
YOUNG
Lack of lubrication makes new
cars grow' old rapidly. Rattles and
squeaks mean that springs and
spring shackles are being neglected
and require attention. The moving
parts of the chassis, as well as the
rest of the car, should be lubricated
regularly. Once every 500 miles is
the safe average for oiling.
SAND BAG for DENTED FENDERS
A bag of sand is one of the most
useful supports to back up a dented
fender or a body dent while driving
the metal back with a rubber, wood-
en or rawhide mallet. If the bag is
tightly packed and soaked with
water it will be much better than a
lead block. The sand bag will do no
damage at all to the paint on the car.
CHANGING BATTERY PLATES
If the battery is in such condition
that the plates need changing, it is
well to install new negatives as well
as new positives. A battery rebuilt
with old negative plates will lack
capacity, and eventually will prove
more costly than it would have been
to purchase a new one. The old
plates may appear to be in good ems•
clition, but this should not be per-
mitted to throw the motorist off his
guard. The change should be com-
plete
omplete throughout.
nuts loosening room vibration, and
these standard bolts should be ob-
tained when replacements have been
matte. The threaded parts of bolte
should never be struck with a ham-
mer, squeezed in the jaws of it vise
or held with the pliers, least they be
battered so that their nuts will not
screw on. In driving a bolt out of
its holo a block of hardwood against
the threaded end and hit the block
with the hammer. All nuts should
be turned on with fingers far enough
to make sure the threads are not
crossed before a wrench Is used. If
a nut turns very hard before it
comes to a bearing, quite likeli it is
cross !threaded. If a nut when re-
moved is found to have a lock
washer under it, never on any ac-
count fail to put on the lock washer
when replacing the nut. As to re-
placing cotter pins in castellated nuts
it amounts to potential manslaughter
to neglect this. To facilitate replac-
ing cotters in castle nuts, file or
scratch a diameter on the end :face
of the bolt parallel with pin hole so
that it is possible to tell where the
nut should stand to let the cotter
pass !through the bole.
A spare fan belt should be carried,
