I'F YOU BUY .A.
(SECOND -BAND CAR
Here ace Some of. the Things .to
Watch Out For.
In trying to sell an olcl 'model that
has been driven a long distance the
prospective purichaser is often' told
that the materials and 'workmans'hip
that went Into ears years ago were
so mulch better than they are today
that the wear' and deprecia'ion on 'the
car are more than oounteaibaianced.
This is not true, For' lfiiter. steels and
lighter and, :better alloys are con-
stantly being developed, and technical.
facility 'leas .never beets at sa.lti,g!her
point. Regardless .of mileage; a car
more than six years old should be
'left strictly alone. i1'1 you are in
doubt about the year of make, ,write
to ;the nearest ofifi'cial dealer in that
make of 'car,' giving him the, engine
number. ;Front this he ,will be able
to give you the exact date of •manu-
facture.
The'!tricks thalt a 'dishonest dealer
may. use are many and ingenious;
Even defects as serious as a; cracked
.cylinder 'bl!o'ck have :been . disguised
with putty and. paint,and oil and
gasoline linos have been repaired with
adhesive plaster and shellac long e-
nough to complete a sale. Sawdust
is sifted into a 'leaking 'radiator, and
not only stops .the 'lea'ks for the time
being, but. slows up circulation so that
on a short demonstration the engine
heats up more rapidly and seems to
run better. Another shady trick that
warms up an engine rapidly is the
treatment sometimes given a noisy
water -primp, consisting simply in re-
: moving the, impeller :'unit from the
pump,
Noise is the warning Of a :badly
worn car, and to deaden it various
ruses are used. The commonest is to
use very heavy grease in the trans-
mission an.d rear end,."often 'mixed
with flake graphite, or a dense com-
pound known .as stern 'tube grease, or
even cork or sawdust. At one time a
grease mixed 'with cedar shavings
was actually sold to motorists for
quieting noisy gears.'Remelnber that
grease is nothing but oil mixed with
a' form .of soap to give it •fir.mne'ss
a form of soap to give it stiffness and.
body, and that the harder the grease
the more soap there must be in it.
Soap is not a lubricant for high speed
machinery, and not only .will heavy
grease sooner or later cake array
from the gears, alldwing therm 'to run
dry, but will supply insufficient lub-
rication while it is in place.
'Worn and noisy bearings can be
tightened only td a certain limit, and
after this limit is reached will 'break
away after a few miles' running.
Piston slap, due to wear on'rings or
cylinder wall, is disguised by adding
graphite to the engine oil. Lk car so
treated wilt be ,very sluggish, and to
counteract this ether is added to the.
gasoline. ''A half pint mixed with
five gallons of gasoline will give any
car a temporary pickub and acceler-
ation that 11 surprising. °IBesides its
effect on the acceleration, ether tends
to overheat and seriously damage the
cylinders.
Wornout brake linings are treated
in various ways, the commonest 'being
to sprinkle powdered resin betw•eeu
drum and band. :This holds for a
dozen miles or so, when the .brakes
will begin to slip and eventually let
go altogether.
Clutches can be doctored iii various
ways. cos avith brake linings, pow-
dered resin may be sifted' across the
facing. Leather -faced clutches take
on a new but wholly temporary lease
of life when treated liberally with
neat's-foot oil and ,fuller's earth, while
castor oil is applied to those with
fabric facings.
Those are a few of the tricks fol;
which you must watch unless you are
sure of the seller's character. Most
of then: are easily detected, provided
yott know what to look for, but they
ate best avoided by clealin!g with
someone you know, or whose repu-
tation' is established beyond question.
There are other things which must be
watched for, :whomever you buy' from.
Here are the most'important of then:,
Contrary to general opinion, the
frame and body of a car is apt to wear
out long before the power plant.
Plenty of engines noes- driving motor
boats and portable sawmills are from
ikt cars 'the,+bodies of which gave out and
rusted away years ago. The paint
chips and flakes, hardware on locks
and door -catches wears out, the up-
holstery tears or wears threadbare,
and the sills an.d other wood framing
rot away. All, this can be discovered
by casual •iusuctien. 'Rusting on the
under sides of the Itnders is harder
to discover lbeause of the usual over-
lay of mud and 'macadam particles,
but if it is present it will soon eat

On The .Psalms.
This little discourse, like the para-
dise of Eden, affords us in perfection,
though in miniature, everything that
groweth elsewhere, "every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good food"
and, aldove all, what was there lost,
but id here restored, the tree of life in
the midst of the garden. 'That which
we read, as matter of speculation, in
the other scriptures, is reduced to
practice, .when we recite 'It in the
Psalms; in those, repentance and
faioth are described, but in these, they
are acted; by a perusal of the former,
we learn ho'w- Others eerved God, but,
by using the lather, we, serve him our-
selves. "What is there necessary for
man to kdow," says Hooker, "which
the 'Psalms are not able to teach ?
They are to beginners all easy and
familiar introduction, a mighty aug-
mentation of all virtue and knowledge
in such as are entered before, a
strong confirmation to the most per-
fect among others. Heroical mag-
nanimity, exquisite justices .grave mo-
deration, exact wisdom, repentance
unfeigned, unwearied patience, the
mysteries of God, the sufferings of
Christ, the terrors of wrath; the

vidence over this World, and the pro-
mised joys of that world which is to
come; all good necessarily to be eith-
er known, or done, or had, this one

THE GARDEN.
The . sweet oltl-fashioned' flowers
that grew ie our grandmother's gar-
den are here to stay permanently now.
People have wakened up to the fact
that romance is lacking Most hope
le;sly in a stiff border of scarlet ger-
aniums and foliage plants. These pro-
saic flowers may be correct .plantings
for state buildings, where formality
lto'Ids sway, but for home beautifica-
tion the crying .demand is for grace-
ful, swaying, 'fragrant flowers, where
bees and birds and butterflies can fly
in and about, and the fairies roans at
will, for every garden has them after,
all is quiet.
You ,w'iW probably head the list with
clove -scented pinks. Yes, and you can
have hundreds of them, for nothing
males a happier edge to the border
than the many varieties of the fra-
grant little pink and white blossoms
with their grey lacey foliage.
'Hollyhocks should take their place
in the rear of the border, for we must
adhere to 'good form very strictly; in
order,to present a correct ensemble.

ExJJud'ge Shirley was one of the
most interesting characters that ever
practised law in Indiana. He had
been brought up in the South,, and al-
though a resident in the North for
many years, still had a trace of the
so-called 'Southern dialect, which
made his characteristic and expres-
sive utterances all the more striking.
Having succeeded fairly well in his
practise, he was the owner of a valu-
able farm or two. One day he had a
misunderstanding with one of his ten-
ants, in the course of which the tenant
gave him 'a sound thrashing. Theney who appeared for the tenant.
