Corbitt Franklin, 16, and Gomer Sturgill, 17, are the others. Miss Alice Lloyd of Boston is the originator of the Caney Creek Community School, which now has twenty subsidiaries.

Even China Teacups Do Shimmy When Mound City Blue Blowers Blow a Time

By WALTER-D. HICKMAN rz~j ON’T try to wipe dishes to any | j tune that the Mound City ■ Blue Blowers may blow. It’s dangerous. I know. Tell you about it? Sure. The other dav 7 strolled into a shop which sells Brunswick records and innocently purchased “Arkansaw Blues” and “Blue Blues,” a record by the Mound City Blue Blowers. The catalog imparted the information that this record is “anew type or dance music by anew orchestra.” With this record and others under ny arm, I made my way hoiruj peacefully, not dreaming of the “terrible” thing which was going to happen in my nousehold. There is "musical heat” to a record. Believe it or not, that is true. I did not permit the Mound City entertainers to start their program un--1 til I started the domestic job of washing the dishes. Suddenly from my phonograph, purchased by the sweat of my brow, the hottest flood of groans, yells, jazzy melody Issued forth as the record began to unfold. The musical temperature of my fi.st became warmer and warmer. I swayed to the jazzy tunes. My feet began to prance in none too graceful time to the music as I wiped a perfectly good china teacup—really the pride of th“ “stablishment. Then it happened. I wanted to snap my fingers as the music became warmer and warmer. The result was a good deal like what happened when Joe Cook and the Senator with a large strip of rubber in their mouths attempted to say "Omaha.” The teacup slipped out of my hand and landed in several hundred pieces j on the floor. Now you can see why I warn you not to wipe dishes while the Mound City Blue Blowers are jaz zing up the ozone. Here is anew recording organization which meets

TH E average individual, engrossed with his own affairs, may not appreciate that the number of automobiles increased 1200% between 1913 and 1923, while the average price of gasoline for the entire year 1923, increased but 12% over the year 1913. While the production of crude oil during the period increased 300%, the output of gasoline increased 600% —a noteworthy achievement. Without the processes originated and developed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), this increased yield of gasoline could not have been obtained. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has led in the adoption of improved methods in all departments of refining and marketing petroleum. This Company has fostered the adoption of every new method which could influence lower production and distribution costs. The benefits resulting from these improvements have been reflected to the consumer in better service and better products. The motorist driving through the Middle West is able to buy gasoline made by this Company at convenient intervals on city streets and country roads. He may encounter all shorts of food and lodging —all kinds of roads —but he will find Standard Oil Company (Indiana) gasoline everywhere and everywhere the same, and the price will be low. To maintain such a satisfactory condition of affairs, the Management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has dealt wisely with labor —employed capital sensibly —and used invention intelligently. In this way it has been able to assume a generous share of the great burden of meeting a 1200% increased demand for gasoline while charging only 12% more for its products in 1923 than in 1913.

Steering Gear Should Be Inspected Now The pleasure of driving can be marred a great deal if your car is hard to steer or the front wheels start wobbling, for this starts a vibration at the steering wheel which soon tires your wrists and tries your nerves. In addition to the discomfort of driving a car that steers hard you are liable to have a heavy bill for front tires. If the alignment of the front wheels is not correct, the front tires will be GROUND down owing to the scruffing action which is set up. This acts in much the same way an emery wheel would act if it were brought in contact with the treads of the tires. If you find that you are getting very poor mileage from your front tires, 'do not blame the tires before you check up the front wheel alignment.

In addition to the discomfort of driving a car that has wobbly front wheels and that steers hard, you are taking chances that may cause a bad accident. When the steering gear and connections are not kept lubricated properly, they start to wear very quickly and rattle badlj. This play in the connections starts crystallization in the steel in the steering arms, steering knuckles and steering lever and makes them liable to snap off when they receive n very hard jolt. If any of the connections should break, you lose control of your car, then of course there is an accident. The first thing to do is to thoroughly clean the hard grease and mud off all connections and lubricate them thoroughly. The drawing shows all connections clearly that require attention. First fill the steering gear case with a light grease or heavy lubricating oil. Next grease the hall joints on the connecting rod. If there is very much play between the ball end of the steering lever and the connecting rod or netween the knuckle lever hall and the connecting rod. take out the cotter pin holding tlie adjusting screw on the end of the connecting rod and screw It up just enough to take out the play. Be sure to replace the cotter Do not screw up this adjustment too Next feel if there is any play in Is, you will have to tit new parts i the play is not very bad, perhaps n< Now that you have checked up the connections, get into the driving sea.t and see how much movement there Is of the steering wheel before the wheels begin to move. There should be a small amount of play, about one inch. If there is more than this, loosen the clamp nut at the top of the gear case cover and turn the adjusting nut until the movement of the steering wiieel one way or the other does not exceed more than an Inch. Be very careful not to make the adjustment too tight or the steering will be stiff. If you find it is impossible to take the play with this adjustment with} out making the steering very stiff.

the gear has worn and must be turned round to exposei anew part of the worm. This is a Job you must have done by a good mechanic. With all connections tightened up and adjusted, test the front wheel alignment. To do this secure two long rods and carefully measure the distance between the rims of the wheels directly in front of the center of the axle. Now measure the distance between the wheels behind the axle. If the alignment'is correct, the distance in front will be from onefourth inch to five-sixteenths inch less than if is opposite the same point at the rear of the wheels. If necessary to adjust, remove the holt in the adjustable yoke on the rod and turn it in or out until you get the correct alignment. Go over all steering connections and clean and lubricate them at least every 300 miles and examine to see that they are in good condition. This attention will save you repair bills and make steering easier and safer. NEXT WEEK—HOW TO ADJUST THE BRAKES (Copyright. by S. N. L. Technical Syndicate)
