1. Wash the traetor thor-

water to remove barityaed acids,
A ke,..osene-soaked brush to
scrub off accumulated grease.
Be careful of an open flame
when working with kerosene, * *
2, Inspect for worn or broken
parts, loose or lost nuts, and, if
repairs are indicated, have them
done now. The garage or trac-

in the spring,

3. Check the ignition system.
a, Service or replace pitted
ignition points.
b. Check wires and cables for
cracks or worn spots, • which
would indicate the need for re-
placement, wipe off any grease

"Who are you?" stammered
the red-faced sailor.
The girl knelt submissively at
his feet ,and with downcast eyes
replied, "I am the Lady Bikuni,
graciously chosen by the illust-
rious Shogun to be the wife of
the Lord Anjin Sama." Will
Adams knew that this was the
name the Japanese had given
him, meaning "the Bnglish
Embarrassed by the girl's of-
fer, he hastily sought out the
Shogun to protest that he was
already married and could not
honourably take another wife.
"But you must stay here—we
have great need of ,you," the
Shogun -told him. "And the lady
is of noble birth, Did she not
find favour in, your sight?" •
• "She is very beautiful in-,
deed," agreed Adams fervently.
"Mit I Will rentain true to my
own Wife."
In appreciation of .the Eng-
lishman's services in laying the
foundation of what was to be-
come a great Navy and mer-
chant fleet for his country and
instructing his sailors in the arts
of seamanship and gunnery, the
Shogun raised Adams to the 'no-
bility and conferred upon him
an estate of more than 10,0
farms.
But • Will passed his days in a
feirer of impatience and anxiety.
For, with the aid of a sailor
from a passing vessel, he had
managed to smuggle a letter
.hOme to England telling of his
'plight.
Months later an English ship
arrived `to establish a trading
post inlapan for the East Indies
Company. Eagerly Will. Adams
sought out her captain. "Tell
me," he begged, "do they knoW
about me in England? What
news hive you of my wife and
children?"
"Aye, even the Queen has
heard of your exploits," Captain
SaXis told him. "But I fear I
have only sorrowful •tidings of
your fainily. According to my
information they are dead long
mince."
Adams was heartbroken at
the news, and sought consola-
tion in his work for the Shogun.
Biet when his sorrow began to
lessen he found himself think=
ing 'of the ,lovely Lady Bikuni.
Now that his ties with' .the
homeland had gone there was
.no ,longer any need to leave the
country of his forced adoption.
The Shogun was delighted, a
marriage with the beautiful
Will
girl was arranged, and'
Will Adams finally settled down '
to raise a second family, and
become the legend he has re-
mained in. Japan to this day.
Queer Things That
People Treasure
-Mark Hambourg, the famous
pianist, is a collector of lovelY
objects like glass and 'snuff
bOxes. Once his wife sent him
out to buy some ice, and he re-
turned with a Chinese cabinet!
Recently' a Mr.-Bernard De-
looze was refused permission- to
erect, a house ler his 35-ton
Sherman tank, an armoured car,
an armoured scout car, and an
amphibious jeep. He wasn't
building up a • private army;
he's merely another collector.
Apparently there is a breed
that collects steam-rollers and
traction engines. Not long ago
a Bexhill 'doctor paid $900. for
One and' a naval officer $150. for
another, because, he said, "I
want , to give my 11-year-old
son some knowledge of engines."
Surely he could have found an
easier, way?

Forgotten Creator
Of Sewing Machine
In Cornhill, Boston, thirty
years ago, there was a shop for
the manufacture and repair of
nautical instruments and philo-
sophical apparatus, kept by Ari
Davis. Mr, Davis was a very
ingenious mechanic, who -had in-
vented a successful dovetailing
machine, much spoken of at the
the time, when inventions were
not as numerous as they are
now. Being thus a noted man
in his calling, • he gave way to
the 'foibl'e of affecting an oddity.
of dress and deportment. It
pleaped him -to say, extravagant
and nonsensical things, and to
go about singing, and to attract
'attention by unusual garments.
Nevertheless, being a really
skillful. mechanic, he was fre-
quently consulted by the invent-
ors and iinprovers of machinery,
to Whom :he sometimes gave a
valuable suggestion. •
In the year 1839, two men in
Boston —' one •a ,mechanic, and
the other a capitalist were
striving to produCe a knitting-
machine, which 'proired to be a
task beyond their strength.
When the inventor was at his
wit's end, his capitalist brought
the machine, to the shop of Arl
Davis, to 'see if that eccentric
genius could suggest the solu-
tion of the 'difficulty, and make
the machine work. The 'shop,
resolving' itself into a commit-
tee of,the whole, gathered about
the knitting-machine and -' its
proprietor; and were listening to
an explanation of its principle,
when• Davis, in 'his wild extrava-
gant 'way, broke in with these
words: "What 'are you bother-
ing yourselves with a knitting-
machine for? Why don't you
make a sewing-machine?"
wish I could," said the
capitalist; "but it can't be done."
"0, yes it can," said Davis;
"I" can make a sewing-machine
my .elf."
"Well," said the other, "you do
it, Davis, and I'll insure you an•
independent fortune."
There the conversation drop-
,ped, and it was never resumed.
Among the workmen who
stood by and listened to this
conversation, was a young man
from the country, a new hand,
'named Elias Howe, then twenty
years old. . . .
The only immediate effect
upon him of the conversation in
the shop of Mr. Davis• Was to in-
duce a habit of •reflecting upon
the art of sewing, watching • the
process as' performed by hand,
and wondering whether it was
within the compass of the mech-
anic arts to do it by machinery.,
Like all- the other great in-
ventors, Mr. Howe found that,
when he had completed his ma-
chine, his difficulties had but
begue. • After he had brought
the machine to the point of
making a few stitches. he went
to Boston one day to get a tailor
to come to Cambridge and• ar-
range, some cloth for • sewing• and

'The Shogun was at- once fa-
vourably impressed by, the eon-
17ageous bearing and' deineariour
of the, handSoine Englishman.
"This man -is,. no pirate," he
told his courtiers, and ordered
that • Adami . should be freed
frem his shackles.
Invited to tell, how he came
to Japan, Adams recounted .the
tale of his adventurous voyage
which had ended so disastrous-
ly.
Intrigued, the Shogun, desired
to- know more about this strange
foreigner, and listened_. intently
to% the story of his life—how he
.had fought 'against the Spanish
Armada as a master . and pilot
with the Navy, and how after
wards,he had made many voy-
ages as navigator for a wealthy
trading • company.
The 'Shogun fingered his chin
thoughtfully:. "You are • skilled
in the arts of the sea,' he said.
"Can you construct for me a
ship that will sail against ,the
winds?"
Although Adams came from
humble stock and was no ship,.
builder, 'the proposition pre-
sented 'little difficulty to such
experienced Mariner, He had
noted; that Japanese ships were'
poorly constructed and unable
to tack—able only' to sail in the
same direction as the wind was
blowing—and he knew he could
teach their shipwrightS how to.

Europeans had managed to
reach the country except a ,feekr

There was much scope for the
- Englishman's talents.
Soon Adams found himself
promoted to the position of per-
sonal adviser to the Shogun.
The ship lie had designed, a Ves-
Sel of 80 tons, had been, built
and launched, and others were

He was provided With' a large,

be back in his native Kent with
his Wife and faintly. To every
appeal he made to be allowed to
go home, the Shogun turned a
politely deaf ear.
