Safeguarding The Springs WITH DEEP SNOW on the ground, the springs suffer pretty hard usage, with the car climbing in and tracks, which are then much beiow thea by no means unlikely and it hold them to the axle, securely tightened. out of icy ruts and joiting over car the road level. Spring breakage I» is In order to keep the clips, that Looseness at the clips parmitas the leaves to separate silght!y and causes the stresses to act upon them individually and nct upo n the spring as a unit. Tightening a spring clip usually Involves locsening the lock nuts, tightening the main nuts forcibly and resetting the lock nuts. Shock absorbers and snubbing devices should also be inspected, to see that they are exerting thelr full effect In controlling sprin g recoll, as when this is permitted to become excessive the leaves separate, until finally the entire stress comes on the master leaf alone, sometimes causing its fallure. When rattle, due to side play of spring ends in their supports, makes adjust- ment necessary, care must be taken, that eye boits are not taken up 10 tightly as to. prevent free motion of the spring ends upon them, as thls is likely to cause breakage of the main leal. By jumping up and fbwn on the running board one can tell it the spring ends have free play. BEST PRACTICE IN COASTING F. H 8S asks: What is the droper thing to do, in order to save gasoline, when a car is coasting down hill? Sometimes I shut off the Ignition and put the gear lever in neutral, but more often I just throw out the clutch and fully close the throttle lever, so that the engine just keeps going. Answer: If the saving of gaso- line js the only consideration, stop- piag the engine by cutting off the ignition is the best method, as of course, no gasoline is consumed, when "the engine is not running. However, we do not recommend this practice, because it possesses objections which more than out- weigh the resulting amall gasoline saving. It is laborious, involves useless wear and tear on the gears and the starter and throws work on the brakes which had better be partly done by the retarding effect of the engine, If kept in wear. Throwing out the clutch and let. ting the engine idle is a Detter m, {if you find the state involves some waste of gasoline, it causes less wear and tear and gives better car control. OC. H. A. writes: The generator on my car has "gone bad" and I shall have to remove it for re- pairs. Can I run my car without it and what precautions, if any, should I take? Answer: You can do so, but you will have to depend. of course, on the electrical energy stored in your battery, at: the time you disconnect the generator. Using the starter 1d this very soon and 80 you will have to hand crank the engine. The lights should be used as little as possible or preferably uot at all and the dimmers only should be lighted, unless absolute- ly necessary. Don't blow the horn n . 'The battery should be fully charged, when the generator Is removed, so that the amount of stored energy may be at a maxi- mum and you will find that this will operate the ignition system for a long time. You can test your cells for gravity, after a while, and of charge rather low, you can have the bat- tery from an outside The Renascence Of Air.Cooling conditions Favor Ths Method Now More Than Formerly ABCENT EVENTS indicate a pronounced révival of Interest in atr e total number, ago with one notable exception, which hes continued in very successful production up to now, when the number of air-cooled models F~s begun to Increase. the renascence of aircooling are to be day gasoline.

Passengers on the Scandinavian liner, Frederick VIIL, which arrived at New York a few days ago, told fa re markable tale of a grim battle be tween occupants of the deep, while | off the Grand banks of Newfoundland. The ship was proceeding swifly in good weather about dawn when the lookout sighted a large school of por- poises ahead. Instead of proceeding as usual In one direction in orderly fashion, describing an occasional graceful arc in the air, the fish plunged madly in all directions, leaping straight in the air and lashing the water to foam. As they became aware of the presence of the ship they quickly" gathered closely about it, as though for pro- tection, swi rapidly alongside to keep pace with it. Their-number was estimated at 200, the largest school any of the crew had ever seen. Suddenly a number of huge black shadows were noted stealing up on the school from behind. The sinister dorsal fin occasionally appearing above the water proclaimed them to be sharks, They gained steadily and finally plunged among the porpoises. In- stantly the terror of the latter again became apparent as they strove madly to escape in all directions. In their confusion they dived wildly | against the side of the ship. Some were struck by the op-rushing bow. Others were drawn into propellers. Meanwhile the sharks continued a methodical campaign of extermination. One after another of the frantic por- poises was ripped by the teeth of the pursuing monsters, and left to be con- sumed later at leisure. The fight continued until half the school had been killed, When the sharks abandoned the chase. : For 'an hour after, the porpoises clung tp the ship. At last, deciding the dahger had passed, they swung off on a' course at right angles and disappeared. Giving Up the Game. Twenty thousand peorle committed suicide last year in the United States, which: fact seems to be a reflection upon our well-ordered life, writes Wil- liam Allen White in Judge. It would seep that the great panorama which history is unfolding before us day by day, forever beckoning® with its to- morrows and luring us with big events Just around the corner today-- it would seem that that gripping pan- orama ought to hold us all in our seats upon this planet. We may bs hungry, we may be forsaken, we may be cold, sick, unlovely and unloved, and yet it would seem that the dally story of life about us, the great tragic events that are looming before us in Europe and in Asia, and the great comedy that should cramp our sides with anguished laughter here in Amep- ica, should -hold us tightly upon this planet. Yet 20,000 of -us have volun- tarlly got up and walked out, left the show cold and flat and for what? Perhaps they are going to the big show, perhaps they are only going to bed. But they are missing a mighty good thing, nevertheless. The spin- ning world never before has held so much to charm the eye and engross the soul as it holds today. Hospital for Plants. A hospital for plants is the latest device, designed by an ingenious Eng- lishman, for the ald and fort of lovers of flowers, who are often dis- tressed at sight of thelr favorite plants ailing and dying from maladios for which they know no cure. When a sick plant is brought to the hosp!tal, it is immediately examined and sent to the room prepared for its case. If It is siffering from a cold it is tended with heat; if it has become ahaemic from an excess of solar rays, it goes through a freezing trestment. The unwholesome branches are removed, while those that are anaemic are fed. It séems that certain plants are very nervous. Some 2asily get neuras- thenie, while their neighbors show un- denisble symptons of hysteria. But spetial managements permit the uppli- cation to each of them of the treat- ment it requires. - po Danger of Sunset.

LJ After Much Fuss and Bother, a Feeble Stream Is Thrown on Conflagra- tion From Hand Pump. Some idea 'of how the fire brigade in Constantinople' fights fire is con- | tained in the following letter from an | English traveler In Turkey, says the { Montreal Family Herald. . | In his red helmet and drab gray | clothing the fireman in Constantinople {looks as unbusinesslike and unherolc as he is unpicturesque. In action he is anything but a model--indeed, it would be more in keeping with the indolent disposition of his race to let fate--and the fire--have .their own way. 35 When the brigade "turns out," its deeds are worthy of the comic film. The equipment is hopelessly Inade- quate. A few primitive appliances are carried upon = ramshackie horse. drawn vehicle whose only claim to dis- tinction is that at some remote stage of its history it has been painted red. Certalnly it appears to have been de- that which it serves. The firemen do not ride upon it, but toll behind at a shuffling run, the ludicrous impression produced being that they have been rather late In re- sponding to the alarm, and the *en- gine" having got off to time, they are daing their best to catch up to it. Watching this singular body at its rehearsals in the street of Constanti- nople one is led involuntarily to in- dulge in flippant speculation as to what might happen in a genuine emergency. . If the impious curiosity so aroused can be gratified the sightseer will ob- serve that the fuss and bother conse- quent upon the brigade coming inte action cause more commotion and ex- citement 'than the fire, The senior fireman, a resplendent, brass-helmeted figure armed with sword and pistol, directs operations from a distance which places him well within the safety zone. Hydrants, of course, are unknown. If fate has ordained that there is a well in the vicinity--well and good; the brigade boasts a hand pump.

French. geologists have long taken interest in the eastward march of the sands along the northern coasts of France, Belgium and Holland. A fine sand originating on the shores of Nor- mandy has been found distributed on the beaches as far eagt as Denmark. It was shown, after a careful investl- gation of this phenomenon, that the eastward march of the sands is due to the fact that all the sea waves ap- proaching the coast from Brittany break In nearly parallel lines with an easterly motion. The result is that the sands always progress in that di- rection. But the progress is slow and gradual, and measurements have proved that the sand traverses, for- ward and backward, perpendicular to the shore, a total distance of 8,000 times as great as that which it cov- ers in the same length uf time In its eastward progress.
