The Brussels Post, 1918-4-4, Page 6The Spring Overhauling—II. The carburetion system follows. Care of this should include forcing air through the fuel carrying pipes, cleaning of the strainers, removal of the air block so that cold air is fed, but no adjustment should be changed until the car is taken on the road lat- er. This is suggested because you cannot properly adjust for new con- ditions, not knowing what the pres- ent adjustment will do under these conditions. Before leaving the engine there are two vital things necessary. These are a tightening of parts and lubrica- tion of small bearings and joints, Every nut on the engine and its ac- cessories and brackets should be tightened or an attempt made to do so. You may surprise yourself at learning that the radiator support bolts can be turned three times around. Oil the generator bearings, starting motor bearings, the linkage at the bottom of the steering post running to the carburetor, air choke, ignition unit and oil the ignition unit bearings. Oil the fan bearings. If you take your instruction book and check off each oiling place as you go along you will do the job about right. With the engine finished you can proceed to the clutch. If it runs in oil you can flush it out and use a slightly heavier lubricant. Dry clutch, either cone or disc, may need treat- ment dictated by usage. Cleaning of the friction surfaces usually suffices. But no matter what the type be sure to lubricate the thrust bearing, the throwout collar and the connections from the pedal to clutch. Clean the oil holes and cups before you fill with oil or grease. Proceed to the transmission if that is next; remove the cover and the I drain plug; after drainage clean out well with kerosene and refill with heavy oil or gear compound. Clean the universals with kerosene, dry and repack with grease. Treat the rear sale as you did the transmission. I Then you attend to the braking sie- I tem. The brakes may need relining or merely adjusting. 011 every con- nection from the pedal to the bands so the brakes work freely, Take your adjustments at two places if you can and not all at one place. Equalize your brakes later on the road. 1 Then get at the springs, spreading the leaves apart and oiling them, re- packing the shackle bolt cups and oil- ing or greasing any other moving parts such as oscillating holders on cantilever springs, etc. Get the steering system next, dis- connecting all joints, cleaning with kerosene and repacking. If you wish to do a good thing use joint covers for the steering. Remove the steering knuckle pin cups, clean them well and refill. Next comes removal of all wheels and re- packing of wheel bearings and a checking up of front wheel alignment, following which is a general going • over the whole chassis for oiling and tightening. Tighten the spring clips if you can, repack every grease cup and turn down a few times. In other words make sure that everything that can be tightened is tightened and that can be lubricated is well supplied with grease or oil. After that you can attend to the body, which probably needs a clean- ing and polishing and the road test to find out if everything is running smoothly and for making the carbur- etor adjustment.

Land along with more seasoned veter- ans, past performances of "The Ladies From Hely' have produced such pro- found respect for them inside the Ger- man lines that hereafter they will fight as a separate unit. The War Office had before it a his- tory of the past performances of the former men who, Led by Col. Percy A. Guthrie, put the regiment on record as one of the most dashing and cour- ageous of the overseas troops since the first battalion of the famous Prin- cess Pats went into the great dead- lock on the western front early in 1915. In a letter from Col. Guthrie the interesting news regarding the dis- tinction made on behalf of the Kitties by the War Office is announced.

Our Serbs, as always, were grateful and trusting. But the Russians could not nt all understand the situation and why strangers could nurse them." One reason why Dr. Inglis was so justly loved by all people among whom she worked was because she recogniz- ed the rights of all.

Roads were frightful and hospital supplies almost as scarce as food. This remarkable woman was well over 50 when she died at Newcastle, England, last November. I fancy that the Serbians loved her because she had a determination equal to their own. She was like some Greek hero, who wanted to see the "smoke go up from his native village and then die." For she died the next clay after she land- ed. With her hospital unit she made her last stand at Krushevatz.
