KEEP OIL LINE CLEAN When the oil gauge does not reg- ister and it is believed tnat the crank case has oil in it, disconnect the oil line, Hewing it back toward the by- paths or oil pump. This will clear the line of any dirt or sediment me- th it can be removed for a thorough cleaning. LONGER LIFE FOR TIRES The real secret in makine tires last is taking proper care of thern. his involves keeping them fully In- flated, preventing mineral oil and gasoline from coming into contact with them, keeping loads wall within their capacity, repairing tread cnts at once, and &relax measure. BUCKING Bucking of the car is often due to an irregularity of the ignition. When the car is in the best of condition there should be no bucking at low steed; the engine puller: slowly but steadily. But when a cylinder is missing the slow and irecegular oper- ation of the engine caeses fl euch a case the engie. pulls the car for an Instant and then the car runs the engine for the missing, per- iod that the cylinder is supposed to tape its share of the Mae As the ignition system is often the cause, a check-up of the breaker mechanism is advisable, as tha breaker points which are worn or nut of adjustment will generally be found to be the cause of this condleon. THE LAW OF LIGHTS 'Headlights on the automobile should enable the driver 7,0 distin- guish clearly a pedesttian or vehiele er any large object at, least two hun- dred feet ahead. Every car should have two headlight. 10 operation after sweet or before sunrise, one on eae.h siele of the ca: ana both of equal power. These lights should be on, eapecially if the car is in motiom and the lights should be white or very close' to that color. If it car ie standing still, headlights shoule bt visible from a distance mf at least 500 feet. Also, whether 1.1n! elt V is standing still or in motion, one red tail light should be displayed, vise. ble at a distance of 500 feet. The tail light should be in the centre or to the left of the centre of the e.ar and should illuminate the elate, num- ber with a white light. rh., head- 1 light bulbs should not exteeel the legal rating of candlepower. When replacing the transmission after overhauling, oil the bearings with a light oil instead of grease. The grease will stop up the oil return hole, forcing the oil along the shaft into the clutch case. LONGER LIFE TO TIRES To get long life from tiree they must be kept fully inflated. "Blow- outs" rarely occur in the same place; sometimes the separation occurs be- tween the tread and the breaker, bettween breaker and cushion, cush- ion and carcass, or between the outer two piles. LOOSE, BOLTS CAUSE NOISE A 'heavy thud under the floor board or in the rear of the car can often be traced to loose body bolts, especially in closed cars whore the body is more rigid.

'R OF BALLOON TIRES Ball .0 tie • are sufficiently dif- ferent ei construction to require differer, repair treatment, even when _king roadside repairs. For iostana close woven fabric patch should set be used in balloon tires even though it is very satisfactory when used in regular tires. A cloee- woven fabric patch is usually heavy and stiff, and does not fine easily tnough to become an integral part of the balloon tire unit, and as a -result may cause serious injury. Special balloon tire patches may be purchased which are light and thin, yet peasess great stre.ngth with suppleness and flexibility, A plaster cord patch has been designed for balloon tires which serves the same purpose as it blowout patch in re- gular tires. TO CLEAN BEARINGS The proper way to clean bearings et to have a solution of common washing soda and hot water. This can easily he made by taking about a handful of soda to a mail of bell- ing. water. This cleansing. agent should be kept at the boiling point while in use. The bearings can be placed in a were basket hung on it wire and clipped into the solution it few times to remove all traces of the soda. The bearings should not be allowed to remain in the solution more than it few minutes at the most, and it few clip- pings is all that 16 necessary Lo Hem; thoroughly and cut hard and ran- cid grease or remove any metallic dust present. 11111,1rome There are a great many ways to do a job of printing; but quality printing is only done one way—THE BEST.

When a tire has a cut or hole in It large enough to requiro a boot, the tire should be repaired properly or have the boot vulcanizted to the easing to relieve the strain on the broken cords and keep the hole from enlarging. STORING HONEY ' There is it right and a wrong place for everything and the ice -box is the wrong -place to gore honey. Honey, like other highly concen- trated sugar solutions, will keep well for a long time with proper care, as it does not readily mould, ferment or spoil. It will, however, absorb moisture and if exposed to a moist atmosphere may become dil- uted to point where fermentation occurs. It should, therefore, be kept in a dry, warm, airy place. Tem- perature however, is not so import- ant in the storing of honey. Where large quantities are stored it is fre- quently necessary, owing to the en- ormous weight, to use the cellar, which though it may be cool, must not be damp. The containers of ex- tracted honey ought always to be tightly closed to exclude moisture and incidentally ants Acme' they gain access to the storeroom. Well ripened honey will keep for years if stored where it will not retract moleture. Where comb -honey is kept in quantity, there should be a free cir- culation of air. With this in view, the storeroom is ;frequently located on the sunny nide of the house or it le placed in the attic near the ;roof. Windows must be opened orey in dry weather, for ventilation is of no val- ue unless the air admitted contains lees moisture than already present. Variation in temperature is to b's avoided, as it ceases condensation of indestur° In the cappings of the exits which, in turn, is absorbed by the honey. • To determiee whether the place is suitable for the storage of honey, test it with salt—where salt will me - main dry it may, be stored with safe- ty. If kept at a low temperature hon. ey will granulate more readily. Ae inany persons do not care /or gram- ulatod honey, it may be liquified by placing the pail containing it into ',hot water, the temperature of which is approximately 150 degrees F. Where moisture has caused honey o ferment slightly, it may be re- stored by melting it over hot water when the ferments will escape with the ,foten. FALSE ACCUSATION Visitor i "1 must say Marione: ' improving in her playing," I Marion (indignantly, from drawing room): "I'm not play- ingl I'm just dusting the Pl- ano." 1 A Strange Adventure By RALPH HAMILTON (Ceprrtabt, Ms, Weston) Newspaper mem) Life was very pleasant to me and bed been since Josiah Bart bad mine' nie from an orphan asylum, adopted me age gave me a bonne Ile Mid known my parents In early youth and there was sentiment to Ws generous action. As time went an I fitted Into tbe groove of farm life contentedly and there grew up between us a mutual friendly affection. His land holdings afforded n mere livelihood. I bad just missed twenty- one when ths peace of our lives was rudely disturbed. A letter arrived from the city signed by an attorney Informing Mr. Bart that a note which he bad indorevel for ssoo for a friend two years before was due. The friend had paid interest and renewed the note, and had died, leaving none of the principal liquidated. "I shall have to pay the debt," Mr. Bart sighed distreesedly, and Ws only way was to mortgage his little prop- erty. I was loath to give up the happy new I was leading, the more so be- cause in becoming acquainted with Gladys Ellis I had found the only wom- an 1 could ever love.

An odd transient job or two saved tee from wand starvation, Without references, experience or Influential friends, I was uusuccessful. I started on foot for a smaller city one day. pretty welt discouraged. I shall never forget the day when, within a few miles of my new destina- tion, I awoke from a .sleep of fatigue and exhitustion in the midst of a shel- tering thicket. The sound of music and voices bed disturbed my sodden slumbet Peering through a cluster of bushes I viewed three men arrayed in unfamiliar costumes, with tawny faces and bright, gleaming eyes- Thee were squatted tailor fashion, upon the green sward in a senneirde. Beside one of them was a sinall oblong box. A Second was blowing soft, mount- onous notes from it red flute. The third was waving his hand in a sway- ing rhythmical way as though voicing sopse sort of an incantation. Suddenly there arose In the basket a brilliantly metal -hued serpent. It darted Its head hither and thither In consonence with the music and then, its part In the ceremony or entertainment con - chided, coiled back Into its cotton net. Then one of the men drew 0 strip of cloth from his breast and spread it open. My eyes Were dazzled with the sparkle of many ensiling game. One of them, ne large as it hickory nut, fairly blinded me with its prismatic intensity.

Thee home, Gladye and bappinttall _ CANADA'S SUGAR BZET SEED EQUALS THE I3EST Investigation conducted by the Division of Chemistry, _ender the sapervision of the . Dominion Chem- ist, Dr, F. T. Shutt, M.A., DSc,, F. I.C., for over twenty-two years es- tablishes the fact that within the boundaries of the Dominion, sager beet seed of the highest grade can be produced. In his report for the year ending March 81st, 1920, Dr.. Shutt furnishes- particulars in sum- marized form of the inveetigation that is still being continued not emly at the Central farm in Ottawa but also at a score of other Dominion Experimental Farms and Stations situated in each of the nine provin- one of the country. The plan of work has comprised the growing un- der approved methods of well-recog- nized high sugar varieties at them: widely distant points and the anal ysis at Ottawa of representative beet e from the harvested crops. Eight stocks of seed were used, sev- en of which were imported from Germany, France, Denmark RUSSIA and Holland, the eighth being the Canadian grown Kitchener variety. In his report, which can be had free of cost on application to the Publi- cations Branch of the Department of Agriculture, !Ottawa, Doctor Shutt notes a rather remarkable similarity among the varieties under test. He also remarks that they indicate an excellent quality for factory purpos- es and are of especial interese, when it is remembered that they are from paints scattered across \vide Dom- inion. The Canadian grown seed has produced beets fully equal in sugar content and purity to the production of imported seed of the most approv- ed European varieties. The results, , the report states, from Charlotte- town, P.E.I.; Kentville, N.S.; Fred- ericton, N.B.; Ste.

An interesting estimate of Can- ada's wealth has been made by the League of Nations, with compmeitive figures of 22 years ago. In 1925 the per capita wealth in this country amounted to $2,406, as compared with $1,100 per capita en 1908. Out of the 35 nations listed, Canada ranks third, the United States showing $2,- 918 and Great Britain $2,459 per capita, respectively. Watch Railway Crossings. All crossings require the careful attention of autoists whether guarded or not. A train running forty miles an hour has been found to go fifty- nine feet in one second and cannot be brought to a stop in less than a quarter of a mile. An aueomibile running at twenty -eve miles an hour ean usually be stopped in less than fifty feet Which should stop, leek and listen at railroad crossings, the train or the automobile? Works for the Farmer. Essex Free Press:—When a farmer complained that the pheasants were eating his corn, the game department killed two of the birds, examined their crops and found 200 cutworms —and no corn. Almost Without ex- ception, when the scientist investi- gates such cases he finds the same re- sult. The fernier owes his crop to the feather police that keep down, the bugs, insects and worms. With continued slaughter of every form of bird life, the insect loss will be heav- ier and farm work harder. The na- time could train an army of riflemen in a comparatively short time, but It couldn't en a century restene the bird armies that are the farmers' al- ' les in raising food to feed the coun- try, , A Law Not Generally Observed. I It is clearly evident that driver; of , vehicles are either ignorant of the ' law respecting overhanging loads, or : they are culpably careless as to Its observance. Sections 34 of the Highway Traffic Act says: "Every vehicle cartwing a load which over- hangs the rear of the vehicle to the extent of five feet or more, shall dm - play upon such overhanging load at the extreme rear end thereof, at all times between dusk and dawn, it red Ilight, and at all other 'seams e red flag or a red wooden or metal sign, sufficent to indicate the projection of such load. Any person violating ' this law shall incur a penalty of net less than $5.00, nor more than 51.8 for a first offence; $10 to $25 for second offence; $25 to $50 for third offence, and in addition may have his license suspended for 60 lays." This law is for the protection of oth- er vehicles or persons and is not dif- ficult of observance. A 1.0e. red. bandana handkerchief, welch the driver can conveniently carry in ins pocket when not in use, will comply with the law when tied Ma an over- hanging load. This law applies to, horse vehicles as well as motor tracks, cars, etc. MORE BERRIES In parts of Hungary, ferin laborers are paid in vegetable.
