4-WHEEL BRAKES ! NOW HELD VITAL w Declared Most Valuable Development in Years. So rapid has been motor car development that features regarded one year as experimental are looked upon as vital necessities the next. This has been the case with four-wheel brakes. Today every one admits they are here to stay. Because of ease and certainty of control, particularly in city traffic, many motorists regard them as one of the most valuable automotive developments in recent years. Less than a year ago, for example, Buick adopted the four-wheel brake. Some of the older motorists accepted it with some degree of scepticism, but today they enter enthusiastically into discussions on the subject, insisting that ease of adjustment and perfection of action have proved the efficiency of the feature beyond a doubt. When evaporated, a ton of water from the Red Sea yields 187 pounds of salt; the same volume of water from the Atlantic Ocean gives only eight-one pounds. How Fat Actress Was Made Slim Many stage people now depend entirely upon Marmola Prescripition Tablets for reducing and controlling fat. One clever actress tells that she reduced steadily and easily by using this new form of the famous Marmola Prescription. and now. by taking Marmola Prescripition Tablets' several times a year, keeps her weight just right. All good druggists sell Marmola Prescription Tablets at one dollar for a box or If you prefer you can secure them direct from the Marmola Cos., General Motors Bldg., Detroit, Mich. If you have not tried them do so. They are harmless and effective.—Advertismeent.

Put ‘lt Had to Be You ’on Phonograph When Sam Calls on Moonlight Night

By WALTER D. HICKMAN C-J) OONLIGHT, a phonograph IVI and a front porch may make l J a satisfactory combination. There must be “atmosphere” on date night, I am told, and I think that Cliff Edwards, known as “Ukulele Ike,” is well aware of this. Cliff is one of those singing gentlemen who knows how to mix melodious moonlight and a uke. A datenight visitor may not play a uke himself, and he may not be acquainted with Willie Baxter, but Edwards can educate him in a minute. If your Romeo is slow' on the sentiment stuff, well, obtain Edwards’ new Pathe record, “It Had to Be You.” Get him on the front porch while the moonlight is turned on and then turn on "It Had to Be You.” If Romeo fails to Romeo to the pleading love song as done by Edward,s I am sure that there is no hope. This number is one of those soothing ballad things which radiates sunshine. I think that it must have been made in the Cupid department of the Pathe plant. Also recommend it when romance is missing in a home. Rather think that hubby will get romantic when he hears this piece because it will remind him of a front porch years ago. “It Had to Be You” is a personality record. It is soft and pleasing. Try it any moonlight night. A Great Service Every time I get an announcement from the Victor people that they are releasing anew Enrico Caruso recagain realize the value of the phonograph. Caruso is dead but his voice and artistry lives on by means of a Victor record. This is a great • service to the world and cannot be overrated. The latest unissued record of Caruso consists of “Scordame” (“Forget Me”) and “Senza Nisciuno”

I have listed before me the following new Federal records: “Worried ’ and “Maybe She’ll Write Me,” two fox trots by the Broadway Players; Charles Harrison singing “Don’t Blame It AJI on Me,” “Annie Laurie” and “Cornin’ Through the Rye,”

to Tune it \|f] / || |_Jfy LH - scott . Noises in Universal Joints Usually the Result of Lack of Lubrication

The other day an owner brought his car into the service station and ■complained bitterly about a clattering jolt his car had developed when the clutch Wits let in, and noisy uneven running at low speeds. I got into the car and drove a few yards, then asked the owner: “How long is it since you greased the universal joints?” He turned to me, “Universal joints, what are they.” This is not an unusual answer to this question for thousands of owners never know there is such a thing as a universal joint on their car until it is brought to their attention in the manner described above. This ignorance, however, will cost you money in repair bills. If these joints are lubricated about every 500 or 600 miles they will not require to be touched until the engine requires overhauling. Neglect them and before you have driven 5,000 miles they may have to be replaced. Few owners of an automobile believe it, but it is a fact that if you would attend to she lubrication of the various moving parts at regular intervals, they could easily reduce their repair bills from 50 to 60 per cent. It is neglect to give a car regular attention that provides most of the work for the repair shops. Few owners enjoy getting on their backs and crawling under the car, and that is what is generally necessary when you wish to attend to the universal joints. Most owners lubricate all parts that are easily accessible, but where parts are diifficult or awkward to get at, they are tempted to say —I think I will do that tomorrow, and as you know, tomorrow never comes.

there is always a certain amount of play between the teeth in the crown wheel anti drive shaft pinion, but this will not allow the wheel to move moi* than two inches either way. If the movement is more than this, either the universals are worn or there is too much play between crown wheel and pinion. The play between these two gears can be taken up by an adjustment provided for this purpose, but the adjusting should always be done by a good mechanic. If the gears are meshed too deep, a loud hum will come from the back side, while if they are not meshed deeply enough, there will be a lot of backlash and noise. If you drive your car with worn universals, It puts a severe strain on every part of the transmission every time you let In the clutch. The way to avoid all trouble of this kind is to take your grease gun about every 500 miles and crawl underneath the chassis and force some light cup grease into each universal joint, at the same time testing the bolts holding the joints to the shaft to see that they are tight. If you do this, you will find that your car will run smoother and better and that replacements will rarely be necessary until the car has been driven 20,000 miles or over.

Now where are the universal joints? There are generally two of them, one at either end of the shaft which connects the gear box to the back axle. They are of two types, the metal type and the fabric or leather type. With the fabric type there is no noise possible, but this joint requires careful watching to see that the bolts holding the fabric rings to the shaft are kept tight. If these become loose, trouble quickly develops and the fabric rings have to be replaced. If you notice a distinct jar, jolt or click, or as if a connection were loose every time you let itv the clutch, or if when you are driving slowly the car runs with a jerky motion, yet the engine is firing regularly, you can be almost certain you have a worn universal joint. To find out if this is so, move gear lever to first speed, jack up fine of the rear wheels and move it to and fro. If the joints are worn badly you will hear a click coming from them every time you move the wheel. Os course,
