(By William H. Stewart, Jr, President Stewart Automobile School.) You have all seen the fellow who runs his “steaming,” clanking car around town. It looks for all the warld like a baby. locomotive, but perhaps he does not kpow that this overheated condition injures the pistons, cylin- ders, bearings and all internal pevts of the engine. Shortly he learns this for himself—after he has paid a big repair bill for information that could have been obtained from any instruc- tion book, If you run the car with the spark retarded, the engine will overheat and carbonize. A similar effect is caused by a crippled fan or an impeded water flow. If your engine overheats It is advisable to stop instantly and find the trouble. In an emergency a very wise thing to do Is to pour an abundance of of] into the crank case. Your ex- haust will smoke, but the additional oll will offer protection to the inside of the engine until relief is at hand, Clean the belt occasionally and rid it of the oil and gummy matter. Hhch up your garden hose and send its spray through the openings in the radiator, which probably is clogged with mud. Do this from the engine side of the radiator; otherwise you may short cir- cult the electric system. As a further precaution see that all hose connec: tions are good and not partially closed on the inside, thereby retarding the water flow. This closing, though very slight, will retard radiation und caaye trouble, GREASE RUSTY CAR SPRINGS Jack Up Chassis and Apply Lubricant While Weight Is Off—Kerosene Cuts Rust. Positive lubrication of springs may be secured without the purchase of ad- ditional accessories—jack up the chassis and apply lubricant while the springs are thus relieved of their welght. In this condition the spring leaves should open slightly in a fan shape. It may be necess: to spread | the leaves a trifle with a screwdriver, > knife, or any thin strip of metal. A few é | minutes’ work with a squirt gun, filled $ with half kerosene and motor oil, will ¥| cut the rust and leave a film of lubri- | cant between the leaves. Sometimes a spring is rusted to the extent that It becomes “frozen” in a rigid mass. The only remedy is to take jit apart, wash each leaf with kerosene and replace, inserting a heavy piece of | wrapping paper thoroughly saturated ‘with a good grade of graphite grevse between each leaf, AUTOMOBILE # GOSSIP. 2 An ounce of instruction may save a pound of repair. “* A weak clutch spring can be re- pafred temporarily by placing washers under It. * * * Nearly 2,500,000 workers are engaged in or directly affected by the automo- bile industry.

Yet, if the driver is care- ful, he should have no trouble from skidding. * e * Many cars are using excessive quanti- tles of gasoline In the motor because of dragging brakes, caused by tha vrake mechanism being in such poor condition that the brakes do not fully selease. PRACTICAL HINTS ON FIELDING FLY BALLS Player Should Not Try to Time Flight so as Barely to Make the Catch. (By CARL LUNDGREN, Baseball Coach, University of Illinois.) In fielding fly balls.a player should get under the ball as fast as possible and should not try to time the flight so as barely to get to the ball. The reason for this is that if the man in question misjudges the direction and speed of the ball, if he gets there in plenty of time he will have an oppor- tunity to shift so as still to get under it, In catching fly balls the fielders should learn to catch them with palms up or with the palms up and: the thumbs together, The first is usually the safer method, but it is well to practice both, The following points should be con- sidered In catching fly balls: In run- ning to the spot where the ball will fall, run with the arms at the side, sprinter fashion, as this is the best method of carrying the arms when running. That Is, the hands should not be carried in the air in a position of readiness for catching the ball while the fielder is running. When the ball hits the glove the receiver's hands should be relaxed and should give a little with the impact of the ball against the glove. An outfielder should turn and run back as fast as he can to catch a ball over his head. He should not attempt to keep his eye on the ball while he is running, as this will slow him up, It is a difficult matter to catch the fly balls, in this manner, but a good out- fielder should be able to do it. Australians Bid for American Swim Coach An Australian newspaper offers $5,000 towards a fund to secure an American swimming coach to spend six months in that country to instruct swimmers there in the methods which have placed the United States at the top in aquatics, Novel Way of Raising Funds for New Stadium Centre college has adopted a novel way of raising funds for their new stadium at Danville, Ky.

STORY CALLS FOR AFFIDAVIT Yarn of South Carolina Man Almost ; F Too Much for Ordinary Reader 3 to Believe. Representative James F. Byrnes, | Democrat, of South Carolina, is not much of a fisherman, but he Is fine on | fish stories, In the cloak room of the house, members from various states were Swapping yarns, | “Talking about fishing,” satd Mr. | Byrnes, “there is one pool in a moun- | tain stresm near Tryon, N, C., I will | always remember. I was in that part of the country one summer resting and rambling for my health and a good | time, “I saw a mountain man, with hook and line, make his way to the creek bank and commence to fish. With my his hook with a tiny frog. For some time he fished, throwing the hook out, but he got no bite. Tiring of this, he | stuck his pole In the bank, picked up a small rifle and went to shooting at tar- gets in the woods, Fearing a stray shot, I came out of hiding and ac- costed him. While we talked we heard & commotion near the fishing place. On looking that way we saw that the froggie had climbed up the line and was sitting on the end of the pole sing- ing, and brook trout were jumping out of the water trying to get him, { “By George! there’s my chance!’ | said the fisherman, and he ran back and commenced to shoot the fish as) they rose from the water. Late that | afternoon, when I saw him again, he | had a half bushel of trout he had | shot.” That broke up the meeting.—Utica | Glove. | NO CHANCE TO GET AWAY) As Clubman Mournfully Related, He Was Caught Whether He Was “Going or Coming.” President Walter ©, Teagle of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey said the other day in Washington: “The fable that my company runs | chain stores and copper mines and restaurants and so on is so persistent, so indomitable, that it reminds me of | a story. “If yon do not want to marry her, why on earth did you propose to her?” sald one clubman to another. ““That’s just it,’ said the other, ‘She proposed to me.’ “Why didn’t you have spunk enough to refuse her, then? “That’s just it. I couldn’t. She worded her proposal so cleverly, you | see. She sald, ‘Will you marry me? Have you any objection?’ Thus, wheth- | er I said yes or no, she had me. She | had me going and coming.’ “*Not at all,’ suid the first club- man, with a condescending laugh, ‘You should have observed a discreet sl- lence.’ “‘Just what I did,’ said the other, ‘and she fell into my arms, murmur- ing that silence gave consent.’ ”"—Los Angeles Times. Birds’ Working Hours. Some birds work almost all day in the summer. They clear the crops of insects, The thrush gets up at half-past two | every morning. He falls to work at | once, and does not stop until half-past nine at night—a clear 19 hours. Dur- ing that time he feeds his young 206 times. The blackbird starts work at the same hour as the thrush, but leaves off earlier. His whistle blows a: half- | past seven, and during his 17-hour day he sets about 100 meals before his family. The titmouse is up at three in the morning, and his sto®ping time is nine at night. A fast worker, he is said to feed his young 417 times a day, Educational “Movies.” ! When used in combination with other methods of presenting ideas, such as newspaper publicity, the spoken word, exhibits, slides, and printed bulletins, the United States Department of Agriculture has found that motion pictures constitute a val- uable addition to these extension agencies, The department maintains its own motion-picture laboratory, where films are prepared to picturize improved agricultural practices, to warn about dangerous conditions or undesirable methods, or other- wise to acquaint those at a- distance from the national capital with the work of the department or its applica- tion to farm life. | Magellanic Clouds, Magellanic clouds are two cloudy masses of light, oval in shape and un- | equal in size, seen at night in the | heavens, in the vicinity of the South pole. They are supposed to be nebu- lae, or dense aggregations of stars, so far distant as to give to the unaided eye the impression of cloud-like | masses. They cover areas of about | 42 and 10 square degrees respectively, and are so named in honor of Ferdi- | nand Magellan, the great Portuguese navigator, who first observed them in 1520, during: his voyage around the | world. Serbia Has Pretty Custom. Oliver Semple Barton, who has been traveling In Europe studying national costumes, has gathered some very in- teresting material. In Serbia he found girls walking along the streets with the names of their flances embroidered on the fronts of their aprons.
