New York, Nov. 29.—A fresh ele- ment of uncertainty was injected into the financial situation today by the news that the Canadian government had commandeered : some 20,000,000 bushels of high grade wheat at home ports and probably would reserve the total wheat surplus of the Dominion, amounting to over 200,000,000 bushels. At first blush this action was viewed with eoncern in our markets, and a wild rush to buy resulted. Later, how- ever, tHe argument prevailed that the seizure wonld of necessity create an increased demand’ for this country’s available supply, and more normal conditions followed. Shares of Canadian and granger roads /were. lower by ‘a point or-more .in the early déalings, and cotton carry- ing iSsues also developed heaviness, which was partly overcome as the ses- .} gion progressed, only to be followed by THE AETNA.

Like any other pieces of machinery, the motor car should be inspected per- iodically to see that every part is in proper working order and to detect, wherever possible, loose nuts, impro- perly adjusted apparatus, etc, in plenty of time to preveat mishaps on the road, says the Detroit Free Press. So important do most of the motor car makers consider this periodic in- spection that they have in many cases laid down speeial rules in the matter for their dealers to follow, the aim be- ing to conserve the efficiency of the vehicles through detecting mechanical disorders in time to prevent their growing into serious maladies. These days, when a man buys a car, he usually is accorded a certain amount of this inspection and adjust- ment service free of charge, but it is well for him to take a lesson from this effort on the maker’'s part and later, when the gratis service at regular in tervals, thus forming a habit of fol- lowing the old proverb of a stitch in time. About every two weeks the car should be gone over carefully, grease cups examined, brake adjustments looked into, clutch dction checked up, wheels inspected and the many other point about the mechanism tested to see that everything is as it should be To this end, it might be well for the owner to set down a regular inspection routine to be followed out once in two weeks. He might take the fol- lowing as an outline: Start with 'the motor—Clean the spark plugs and check up ‘the dis- tance between the terminals, which should’ not be over the thickness of a dime. Drain oil in crankcase and put in new oil. Go over bolts and nuts with a wrench and tighten loose ones. Test compression by turning motor over slowly by hand when the ignition current is off. If one cylinder is weaker than the others, look at its valves. If all are weak, excessive car- bon may ‘be expected on the valves, this preventing their proper closin; Or, tie tappets may not be proper adjusted, holding the valves slightly open when they should be completely seated. Remember that the longer carbon is allowed to stay on the valves the harden it will be to grind them to accurate seats again, for the depos- its pit them deeper and deeper. See that here are no oil leaks, and also examine the water connections. Radiator—Look over the core of the raidiator, and if rust places are found, take steps to have the leaks that cause them repaired at once before they get any larger. See that the overflow pipe from the radiator is open, as sometimes radiator leakage has been caused by clogged drain pipes prevent- ing steam escapage, with the result that the pressure caused a leak. Run water through the cooling system with a hose for a few minutes to wash out sediment so far as possible. Electric system—Examine all wir- ing to see that the insulation is good. Tighten terminals that are loose. See that no wires are being chafed through rubbing on sharp surfaces. Look at the storage battery, putting ‘water in the cells wherever the plates are uncovered. Read the cell gravity with the hydrometer, and if any of the cells are strickingly lower in read- ing than the others and below normal gravity the battery should be remo ed and these cells broughf up to pro- per charge-individually. Brake system—Test all parts of the brake assembly. Examine pins and clevises and see that none of the bear- ings is frozen by rusting. Look at the condition of the brake lining and see that the action is in uniform on opera- tion of the pedal or lever. See that pins and nuts are properly locked by cotters or whatever other special means is used. Oil the bearings. Spring system—Look carefully at the spring bolts and and tighten loose spring <lips. The latter is very important, as it is a common source of breakage. So that all leaves are free to act and not rusted togeth- er. Examine for alignment of the leaves. N Steering system—Look at all points and connections carefully. See that there are no loose connections in crossrod, reachrod, or. elsewhere. Play is a bad thing in the steering connec- tion nuts and bolts should be properly cottered or otherwise locked. Ex- amine for excessive play in the steer- ing wheel. One-eighth turn. is all there should be. ‘Wheels—Grasp the top of the wheel and attempt to move it sidewise to test for lost motion or play in the bearings. When jacked up free of the ground, the front wheel should turn freely backward or forward, but with- out any side play. If ‘there is loose- ness sidewise, the wheel should turn freely backward or forward, but with- out any side play. If there is loose- ness sidewise, the wheel should be re- moved and bearings, inspected _for wear. Wheels should be greased in any case after from 2000 to 3000 miles. Tires—Look them over carefully for cuts and bruises of a serious nature. Remove any foreign substance that might work into the tire. See that ex- tra tire and tubes are dry, and that they are not being chafed by straps or tire irons. Plug up all cuts, even if they are only one eighth Inch long. ‘General ine all grease cups to-see that they are properly filled, and that passages from them to the bearing surfaces are unobstructed. Never let grease harden and cake In the grease grooves or passages. Such neglact goon renders the grease cup ulesless. Examine all body, fender and running board bolts, and see that the lamp. brackets are rigid and that the windshield is firmly in place. See that DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD Periodically—All Parts Should muffler and connection to exhaust maniford are tight. Among the problems cited as apt to come up at the close of the war in Europe is the means to be taken by the beiligerent nations in disposing of the great numbers of motor trucks now in use, by the various armies. France apparently has formed an an- swer to the question already. At an auction held recently 740 of the Paris internal gear drive omnibuses mobil- ized at the beginning of the war were sold to be replaced by an equal num- ber of similar chassis for work at the front. By selling these chassis at this time to private owners it is possible to forestall the purchase of that many chassis in France from neutral na- tions ‘and at the same time give the army a number of new motor trucks for its more exacting work. Another benefit to France is that this method of selling French trucks that have seen service prevents the beginning of an installation of foreign chassis by large owners who might after the war, in the interest of standardiza- tion, continue their purchase of trucks made outside of France. The foreign trucks now used by the French army are run until they are useless and cannot be overhauled ad- vantageously and are then replaced by French made chassis, the latest ad- vices from France being that the fac- tories there are now in a position to care for the army's need. The war has increased the high estimation in which internal gear drive trucks are held in France and at the front, and =0 strong is this preference chown that some exceedingly. steep and rough roads at the front are closed to all but® internal gear drive trucks, as is shown by photographs received in this country.

It is true that only cars from standard makers of Europe or 1America have gained the premier honors, but made-up cars have proven more reliable oftentimes than speed monsters of the manufacturers.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SOCIETY SOCIAL HYGIENE Held at the Rooms of the Hartford Medical Society. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 29.—A year's work in the cause of Social Hygiene was reviewed at length at the fifth annual meeting of the Connecticut So- ciety of Social Hygiene, held at the rooms of the Hartford Medical so- ciety today. As the president, Dr. Jo- seph M. Flint, of New Haven, is in Europe, Rt. Rev. Chauncey B. Bre: ster of the Episcopal diocese of Con- necticut presided. Educational Literature. Dr. Thomas Hepburn of this city presented his report as secretary. He explained the means taken to obtain addresses of persons to whom could be sent in a systematic way educa- tional literature in the campaign to bring the people of the state to reali- zation of the work which has been undertaken. Wasserman and Salvarsan Tests. Dr. Henry Stoll of Hartford, chair- man of the treatment committee, Te- ported upon the Wasserman and Sal- varsan tests. He said that at present the only dispensaries for the tests are at New Haven and rtford. With a social worker an effort has been made in the former city where especial attention is given to the dispensary cases, to follow up the case and test all members of the family whenever possible after a cAse has been found. A number of pregnant women have received treatment, and the commit- tee feel strongly that testing of all patients in prenatal clinies is im- portant. The report added: “We have been impressed by the fact that hered- itary syphilis and syphilis is acquired innocently, especially in wives is very common and the total of these cases appears to be greater than those one. might term ‘guilty syphilis.'” Abatement of Social Evil. Prof. W. B. Bailey of Yale, chair- man of the Social Evil committee, said that the committee had directed its efforts towards cooperation with other agencies in abatement of the social evil. It was obvious that a woman’ reformatory would help to free the community of alarge number of im- moral women and assist in their phy- sical, mental and moral improvement. The 'society supported the bill for a reformatory and will continue to do so. Alicohol and Degeneracy. Miss Douglass of the research de- partment, gave a report on data re- garding alcohol, dcweneracy, immoral- ity, epllepsy, feeble-mindedness and diseases which contribute to depen- dency.
