W. Scott, of Cleveland, reported recently to the assembly of the Interstate Post-Graduate Medi- cal Association. Dr. Scott, a professor of the Medi- cal School of Western Reserve Uni- versity, urged early recognition and treatment of heart disea.sos. He said a majority of children suf- fer damage to the heart between the ages of five and 15 by rheumatic fevers whicli often are unnoticed or pass as "growing pains". "Ninety per cent, of the persons under 30 years of age who have died or have boeu invalided Vy heart dis- eases in tills latitude have got their beginnings in these childish rheu- matic pains." ho said.

In defiance ot all the laws ot balance -we'd say While the transition from summer to fall is o'.ight, the mcto»<w U much mora sensitive to it than ita owner often realizes. Apart taoa changes In operating conditions, tba automobile had just emerged from Its season ot hardest use, and it needa attention on that score, too. So writes William Ullman in an article issued by his feature service (Wash- ington). Minor adjustments are all that are needed for the most part to make ready the car for the period just ahead. To conserve fuel, improve operating efficiency, and make start- ing ea.5ler, this mjght well begin with the valves. The odds are that sum- mer's high-speed driving on long trips has left valve adjustment quite ragged. It has not shown ui to warm-weather starting, but it doae when there is a chill in the .morn- ing air. The chances are against the aver- age car's needing to have t!'' car- buretor mixture enriched. A major- ity, service authorities think, went through the hot weather wi'h too rich a mixture. 'mo that will be pioperiy lean for fall. But the choke :hould rcce'vo attention. Many motorists have not used U for months. It should be inspsctel to determine that the valve U opo]iing fully and freely, and the oporr.ting mechanism is in workin.; order. Spark-plug -gaps that have mau« no appreciable difference In engins operation when tho mercury was continuously high will interfere with both starting and smooth running when the range of temperature bo- comes autumnal. If plugs can not be cleaned and reset to prnduca maximum efficiency â€" apart from mileage records-â€" they should be re- placed. Proper plugs will help con- siderably now, and a great deal lat- er when the temperature gets roally low. Several remnants ot summer opera- tion should be removed from all cars at this season. One of them is the scale that has collected in the cooling system. The average car has ranged far afield in the past few months, and its radia'or has been filled with water containing a wide variety of impurities. The more ot them ot which the system is rid now by a thorough flushing with sal-soda, the be'.ter prepared it will be for the anti-freezs solu- tion which it will carry during the cold months. Another product jt the season, we are told, may be a general looseness. Long periods of high-speed driving with vibration and jolting can hard- ly have failed to have their etfecL Body bolts, Mr. Ullman advises, should be taken up not only to eiim- inate noises but to prevent frame strains that inevitably occur when the body is allowed to weave. He continues: Tightening spring clips also will serve a double purpose â€" that ot re- ducing the chance ot spring break- ago and increasing riding comfort. Engine-bolts in many cars also will be found to have worked free. Other points where the -car own- er may spend a profitable few min- utes with screw-driver and wrench are the bolts, nuts, and screws hold- ing fenders, running-boards, and run- ning-board aprons: the bolts which hold the radiator to the frame, and bracerod running ucui .ae radiator to the dash; and the screws by which the door-hiuges are attached. Wet and leaf strewn streets, au- uniii's specialty in the way of drlr. lug hazards, are less dangerous «l the car steers as it should. Thlrt involves lining up the front wheeU tfghtening front-wheel bearings, tat ing up any looseness in the steerins- dray-link, and thoroughly lubricat- ing the entire mechanism. Another factor iu seasonal safety is brake condition. Without going iu for an exceptionally close adjust- ment, which leaves too little pedal- play tor gently application, tho car- ownei- should make certain that the brakes are equalized. Unless he Is possessed of more than average me- chanical skill, the task ot equalizing and adjusting brakes Is ono that should be left to a mechanic with the ability and the equipment to make a good job of It. The fact is that brakes have been violently used in the period of high- speed driving now coming to an end. and that character ot use Is bound to have had its offect. One prewinter form ot condition- ing that the car-owner can allow to go over until later is that of drain- ing, flushing, and retUlIng the trana- mission and differential. It U stilt too early to supplant tho heaier lubricants used in these parts and. pending the need to change them, tho car will operate well enough with nothing more than a replenish- ing ot the present filling. Because tall brings rain and damp- ness, and they in turn causo rust, the car-owner should be certain to cover up with a brushing lacquer or enamel any chipped or marred spota on the body of tenders. It the aea- son should reveal any leaks around the top molding, the motorist will find several plastic fillers on the market with which these crevlcea may be treated.
