When a bearing becomes worn, each knock has a tendency to flatten out this soft metal and make the kmock more serious. They never improve with age, so you will save money by catching them when they are young.

Knocks occur at the beginning of each of these strokes and are more or less of a rattle.

The number was placed 8,445,233 horses [last year. The principal increase { was in western Canada. The increase was attributed to aj | revival of interest in breeding draft | } horses, the demand for horses for { farming due to increase In agricul- | § ! tural production, and the greater use of horses for lumbering acti- | vities, city transportation and in | other fields where horsg-power | compares favorably with traction | power. ---------- SHORT HAUL BUSINESS. With Motor Trucks Sought By U. 8. Rall roads. New York, Dec. 15.--Blisha Lees, vice-president in charge of opera. tion of the Pennsylvania System, | gees the motor delivery truck shar- | ing honors with the freight train in future transportation, now that the railroad industry has become per- manently divided into what he calls wholesale and retail departments. | Vice-President Lee holds the view that the chief problem in regard to the handling of freight, as between railroads and motor vehicles, are not those of competition but rather those of co-ordination. "The part of the motor vehiele," Mr. Lee sald, "is not to do what the railroads are already fitted and equipped to do with full success and satisfaction; it is to do what the rallroads are not able to do at all, or else do only with difficulty and imperfect suc- cess. 3 "Such profits as the railroads are able to make at all come practical- ly altogether from the mass trans- portation of freight and passengers over 'at least considerable distance in other words from what we may term the wholesale departments of transportation. This is just the form of service in which experience shows tflat trucks cannot consistently earn real profit. On the other hand, those forms in which trucks can and do make money are almost invar- fably the strictly retail form, in the rendering of which railroad opera- tion practically always {involves , and sometimes very heavy ones." As a result the use of motor has been peylvania Railroad until more than 80 routes are in operation.

Move it about until you find the place where the vibration feels the strongest. Bearing shims can be used on any engine. They are nothing more than several layers of very thin me- tal which are inserted between edges of a bearing. When a slight knock is heard you can take the bearing apart, peel off one layer of the shim and tighten it uv again. 000,000 of the latter in use in this country, and less-- than 1,000,000 motor cars. Motor-cycles, which are much more popular than in the Un- ited States, number $00,000. The ministry of transport, in making public these statistics, not- ed that the British are doing a greater export business with bi- cycles and "motor cycles than the American manufacturers, who once led the Brtish in this trade. In 1922, according to British re- cords, Great Britain exported 7,270 motor cycles while America was sending out 16,000. But the latest figures show 20,000 machines ex- ported from Great Britain and only 9,700 from the United States. Out Melons.
