The .bxhty_t.o; achieve fine adjustments is a third | consideration of importance. These, are all reasons why the bearings of a motor car are tremendously importâ€" ant {factors in operating the vehicle satisfactorily. A bearing is designed for the purpose of lessening friction, helping parts of the machine to wear longer and to secure a splendid adâ€" justment. In the engine alone there are more than a hundred bearings. The cylinâ€" der and piston, not generally termed bearings, are usually of cast iron, which gives comparatively long wear and in which the friction is not great if well lubricated. When wear does occur at this point it is necessary to rebore the cylinders and have larger pistons fitted. The wristâ€"pin bearâ€" Ings usually are in the form of a bronze : shell, called a bushing, surâ€" rounding the wristâ€"pin. When wear occurs it is necessary to drive out the bushing and replace with a new one which fits. There are several types of bearings to be found in motor cars. In some the metals are selected with the idea of obtaining great strength rather than nonâ€"friction qualities. On the other hand, some have strong metal shells lined with a comparatively soft nonâ€"friction metal. In addition there aro the soâ€"called antiâ€"friction bearâ€" ings, in which balls or straight, tapâ€" ered or helical rollers are used. These give a rolling rather than a sliding contact. The crankâ€"pin bearings are usually bronze lined with babbist. When wear occurs here the adjustment is made by taking out thin sheets of metal called shims. The main crankshaft bearings are of the same type. The camâ€"shaft bearings are usually of ball type which must be replaced with new ones when they become worn. The camâ€"follower bearings may be just flat plates resting directly upon the cam, or rollers running on a pin in the valve push rod. Wear in these parts would usually be compensated for by adjusting screws or the valve push rods. The pushâ€"rod guides reâ€" quire replacement when worn. OIL PUMP CONSTRUCTION,.

The throttle and sparkâ€"control linkâ€" age have a number of bearings which should be frequently lubricated. Usuâ€" ally they are not adjustable, so that parts must ‘be replaced when they beâ€" come badly worn. EFFECT ON SELFâ€"STARTER. The selfâ€"starter motor and generâ€" ator are usually equipped with ball bearings and are lubricated with a squirt can. Both the motor and genâ€" erator have a copper commutator on which carbon brushes bear. These are not bearings, strictly speaking, but they do require a very "slighe trace of cil. The bearings considered so far are cared for by the lubricating system of the engine which starts when the engine starts to run if there is a supâ€" ply of oil. T The fan usually runs on ball bearâ€" ings which are lubricated with a squirt can. The water pump bearings are lubricated by compression grease cups. _ When the bearings become badly worn it is necessary to drive them out the bushings and replace them. Probably the shaft also will need replacing. The valveâ€"stem guides are most often holes bored through the cylinder casting. When wear occurs the holes must be reamed true and larger, and valves with larger stems be inserted. In the ignition system ball bearings usually are employed, with or withâ€" out means of adjustment. These are lubricated with an oil can or packed in grease. The carburetor airâ€"valve bearing operates better if not lubricated, but does wear and needs replacing at times. The throttle bearings should be lubricated. Other principal bearings are usualâ€" ly of ball or roller type, which may or may not be adjustable. While pracâ€" tically all of the bearings in the enâ€" gine are kept well lubricated by the main engine lubricating system, those located on other parts of the chassis usually need individual attention. The bearings in the transmission gear, rear axle and steering gear are lubriâ€" cated from the supply of oil carried in the respective housings. Direcâ€" tions for care and replacement are given in the manufacturer‘s instrucâ€" tion book and should be studied. BY C. W. PETERSON. Approximately oneâ€"third of Canâ€" ada‘s estimated area of arable land is toâ€"day alienated and occupled, though not fully developed. If we credit the people who selected this land with ordinary, common sense, we must conâ€" clude that it contains the cream of our vast, arable area. No agricultural country on earth would, in its virgin state, contain so large a proportion .qf A depressing number of Canadians, Britishers and Americans have failâ€" ed, at great economic loss and te the everlasting detriment of Canada, in establishing themselves permanently upon farms of that class in Western Canada. "Flivvers", rural phones and mail delivery can play no conâ€" spicuous part in such a toilsome undertaking. It calls rather for the Spartanic life of the early backwoods settler of old Canada, with something approaching the crude standard of living then in vogue. Who is going to "mop up" this Herculanean task for us? We might as well, now and clearly, recognize that the greater fers horges to dogs. Canada‘s Key Problem. The increasing uso of rubber soles and heels on shoes during the last fow years was sufficlient to establish the measure of foot comfort to be secured from & continuous rubber tread. How much more comfortable then is a rubâ€" ber floor with its greater firmness, with a resiliency that takes up shock and yet does not "draw" the feet? It has the added advantage of possessing long wearing qualities and is easily kept in condition. The use of rubber tiles for floors has progressed during the last fow years to such an extent that every room in the house may now be suitably and beautifully covered in this interesting fashion. Vestibules, halls, living rooms, kitchens, stairs treads, bedâ€" rooms and nurserles are now being covered with satisfactory â€" results. These floors are made in a range of more than thirty colors, or, on 0Cca&â€" slons, to match any sample. The colors are permanent, for they ; run through the entire thickness of the material and natural abrasion serves only to enhance their beauty. In choosing colors the purpose of the‘ room should be the first consideration | and the second the general scheme of decoration. The color selection should also be made with due com sideration for the general character 0f the outside dirtâ€"that is, what is the dirt within two or three minutes walk of the place where the floor is to be laid? Is it red clay, sand, desert dirt, or just common <ity, odly dirt? | Canada is the principal source of softwood supplies in the British Emâ€" pire. Only by curtailing losses and inâ€" creasing productivity can she hope to discharge faithfully her responsibiliâ€" ties in this direction; she must conâ€" werve her forest wealth and bring about a more healthy relationship beâ€" tween depletion and annual growth. The effect of lMight on colors is too well known to require much discusâ€" slion. Suffice it to say that if a floor is to be laid on the north side of a building where there is comparatively little sunshine, colors which best reâ€" flect light from northern exposureée would be more suitable than those colors which have a tendency to obâ€" sorb light raya ?

"Save the Forest" campaign was held throughout Canada during the week April 24â€"80, and the Federal and Proâ€" vincial governments, organized clubs, Pulp and Paper Association, schools, churches, radio stations and theatres coâ€"operated in emphasizing the necâ€" essity of preventing forest fires and conserving our Canadian forest reâ€" sources, The potential value of the forests In connection with trapping, huntâ€" ing and fishing, the value of the forâ€" est is of first importance, for if the forests were destroyed, fur and game animals would rapidly become nonâ€" existent,. The beauty of the forests, lakes and mountains, the abundance of game and fish, attracts many visiâ€" tors and provides health and pleasure, also a large annaul revenue to Canâ€" adians. products Forests grow, mature, deteriorate and decay. Once a tree has attained maturity nothing is to be gained by postponing its cutting. When cutting the mature tree, however, the protecâ€" tion of the small tree struggling for its existence nearby should be assurâ€" ed. The small trees of toâ€"day are our forests of the future. One wellâ€"known forest authority has suggested that in each district where timber rights are granted, the average annual growth per acre be ascertained and only the larger trees, to an extent not exceeding the annual growth of timber as a whole per acre, be cut. The forests would be growing in value year by year if this plan were followed. The planting of trees and shrubs along highways and bordering fields for windbreaks will, as the practice increases, become a means of increasâ€" ing the wood supply mauterially and, in the course of yeras, may build up a valuable source of timber supplies. Mr. Clarence Darrow makes much of the fact that the chemical materials that compose a man‘s body could be bought at a drug store for ninetyâ€"five cents.
