As in other forms of racing. a quick 'get away" in an ice race is to be pre- ferred. The quicker you are to start, the better. My favorite starting position is to srouch low, with my legs spread about three feet apart, the left foot in front shadows. Lo. out from behind the shades to see who was 'ammering on the pane." It was great sport. The fellows had just finished giv- ing a dose of snowballs to the side window of the old Morton place, which was inhabited by a "funny old guy who played the fiddle all the time." All the boys _ had slipped quickly into the shadows to watch the white haired old man come to the window. All of them, that js, except Randy McCune, He stood perfectly still un- der the window. The faint strains of the old man's "fiddle" came through the closed window. The bunch, hid- den behind trees. whispered hoarsely to Randy to "duck befors he got caught," but Randy, still listening to the violin, remained. The gang knew Randy was interested In musie, and violin music especially. But that was no reason why he should risk getting caught. Suddenly the music stopped. The drawn shade at the window went up. The figure of the old man appeared. He saw Randy standing below the window, But Randy, much to the astonishment of the gang. did not move. The old man raised the win- dow. "What do you want, boy?" "Nothin'," replied Randy. just listening to your music." "Well, don't stand out there In the snow. Come on in. Come around to the front door." And Randy, without turning to his hidden companions, walked around to the front of the house, and entered. Some ' days later, Snooks Gorman hailed the other members of the gang. Randy had not been with his fellows for some time. "Say, guys,' sad Snooks, "you kmow that old guy with the fiddle? Well, I just met Randy and he says the old fellow is a famous composer, an' he's come here to rest up in quiet after a nervous break- down or 'somethin', and--listen to this, guys--Randy's taking fiddle lessons from him. Pretty rich, eh?" DIVING FOR PEARLS Marion wanted a pearl ring for her birthday. For » veral days she had been stopping in froft of jewelry store windows to admire the rings, especially when her mother waa along. She also managed to hint about her wishes to her father. "So you're interested In pearls" smiled her father. "I wonder if you know anything about where pearls come from?" "No, 1 don't," said Marion. "Please tell me about them." "In the first place," her father be- gan, 'pearls are found in oysters or in mollusks, which grow in heds at the bottom of the sea. The most famous beds are found off the island of Ceylon and around the Gulf of California. About one shell in a thousand contains a pearl, "In Ceylon the Government owns the oyster beds, and every vear, about March, the fisheries are opened Hundreds of little boats, owned by Malays, Arabs, and Indians, gather around and, at a given signal, the diving begins. A rope with a weight attached is thrown over the side of the boat and the diver fastens the rope about him, and his assistant lowers him. Down he goes, to the sea floor, where he scoops up the oyster shells, placing them in a bag tied around his waist. "These divers are experts. Some of them can. remain under the water for many minutes before coming up for air, On the Mexican and Venezuelan coast mych the same system is used. of the right, and with my left shoulder pointed diagonally to the front.

After the racer gets his start and swing, he usually bends forward and places his hands' behind his back.

My instruction book warns against using graphite in any part of a car, but a good many people are using ordinary graphite, with Apparent success. I suppose that the deflocculated graphite, which is su extensively advertised, acts in a similar way. : Manufacturers discour- age the use of ordinary graphite in engines. because of the liability that an impure article may be used and that the amount used may be excessive and obstruct oil pipes and short-circuit spark-plugs.

L. G. writes: As the result of a collision, I had to have the front axle of my car straightened by heating it and since then, the car has steered much harder than formerly. Can you explain this and suggest a remedy? Answer; When the steering gear parts were reassembled after this repair, something may have been adjusted so tightly as to bind and you can determine this point by Jacking up both wheels and seeing if the gear moves freely. If not, find where the friction is and re- move it by readjustment, It may be that the axle was not restored to its correct form, which may have changed the camber of the front wheels, the points of road contact of which should be consid- erably: closer together than thelr uppermost points. In this case the axle will have to be reheated and bent to give the above result, Again it is possible that something was bent that throws the wheels oat of their proper relative alizghment. They should be nearly parallel but a little closer together in front than in the rear. Adjustment of tie-rod length should correct this. Rubber Soles and Heels Vulcanized On.
