Foreign Strikers
"The public is not greatly interested In William Z. Foster, self-appointed steel 'strike leader, except as his efforts to keep men away from work
become a matter of prime importance. : He and
his radical associates have failed in their purpose,' litays the Indianapolis News. The steel strike is to all intents and purposes a thing of the past, ; Several steel plants were worse crippled because of a shortage of coal while the coal strike was on than they were by a lack Of men. Yet Foster and some of those leagued with him in the leadership of the; discontented -teel workers insist that the strike is still on and that the strikers! will win;' r-'"
"Foster Is quoted as saying that the foreigners have been the backbone of the strike, 'and the only way I can explain it is that they cant read the English newspapers. Not tan ago The News printed an interview with a foreign born striker in the Pennsylvania steel region, quoting the foreigner as saying that if the strike was lost it would be the 'damned, dirty Americans who must bear tfc responsibility.. "The American workmenjiave not always been content with their lot. they have deserved the
best and they have not hesitated about asking
for it. The foreigners who have been what Foster calls the backbone of the steel strike have been unable to determine what they wanted. In their ignorance and because of their inability to speak or read English they have fallen prey to any radical leader who cared to tell them a tale. Being thus easily influenced they struck, and many of them remain out. The Americans had sense enough to read and think for themselves. If the strike is still on it is because the foreign
ers are remaining' away from the plants. Foster might well have said that the foreigners have been the backbone of the strike because of their ignorance and because they have been exploited by such men as himself."
THE OEOR O E MATTHEW ADAMS DAI LY T A L K BEHIND THE DIM UNKNOWN Shakespeare la Ida writings speaks of the "tide, which If taken at Its flood, leads on to Fortune.' s . There are tides always agatherlng la the background of every for "ward life. , V "Behind the dim unknown standeth God." as Lowell put it. And Ood, to as ail. mast be tha silent force of good that watches otot us . because we are so much mora la Taltte than the sparrows I Mystery it a great mainspring in. the growth of character. It is tha fact that we do not at any time know exactly what we may yet become, that fascinates ns to what we do. ; 4 The kindest thing to most of us all is that much of the hard work and test of life is veiled from ua till we are brought to face it at the right hour. . . Every great crisis has its man. And in exactly the same manner, every man in a crisis may have the requisite strength to face and sorve his own most difficult emergency. For. always behind the dim unknown the building and planning and getting ready is going on. And yet thewlsest one who ever lived, never at any time had any Idea of the forces working for his good in the silent deadness of secrecy. It is well that things work that way. The child that knows exactly what he is going to get "for being good" isn't so good as when he doesn't know. The Important thought for us all is , that something is always working in our favor so long as we keep working worthily. Behind the dim unknown is our grandest self, dally being born anew!

: The Three. Plate- Cluteh.. . . A clutch which, is, fast increasing In popularity, is the three-plate clutch. This is a sort of disc clutch, but the discs are generally of a quite great circumference." Usually, one -plate, the middle one, is of steel, and fastened to the driven member (that is, the part fastened to the . transmission, etc.), while the other two plates are faced
or to the condition of the friction surfaces.. The, question arises as to how to determine which is the one to blame. The only way to determine this is by trial, although one's Judgment can be used as a guide. Thus, when the trouble is found in a new
car, or one which has just left the
about a gallon of kerosene into tht clutch housing, and then start the engine and allow It to run for fifteen or twenty minutes, throwing the clutch in and out during this time. The kerosene must then be drained off. If the clutch is of the wet -plate type, and the clutch housing is separated from the oil reservoir of the engine, the addition of a little kerosene to the oil in the clutch chamber will tend to stop the slipping. The fluid in which the clutch runs should be about 50 per cent, oil and 60 per cent, kerosene. A word of caution. A number of cars having wet-plate clutches, are so designed that the same oil is used in the. engine and the clutch, the oil chambers, being connected. When this is the case the kerosene must NOT be used, as kerosene is not a lubricant. The Gripping Clutch. A gripping or "grabbing" clutch ia
indicated by the fact that it is almost

with some material which has a high coefficient of friction, such as' Raybestos, and are driven by the flywheel. In Order to get a great pressure between the plates, and yet with the use of a comparatively weak spring, the spring is made to exert its pressure through a set of levers. The" Illustration shows three-plate clutch. Here A is the flywheel of the engine, B are the plates, driven by the flywheel, C is the driven plate, which is keyed to the shaft S, so that the shaft must - revolve with this plate. The pressure between the plates is exerted , by. the spring E, acting through the collar D, and levers F. Note the leverage obtained by the spring. Not only is the arm F long in comparison with the portion G, but by making the surface of H inclined, there is the same inclined plane, or wedge action which is ob
tained in the cone clutch. i
The clutch is freed or disengaged by pulling the collar D back against the action of the spring, by means of a foot, pedal acting through the thrust bearing M and collar N, just as it Is In the disc and.cone clutch. Clutch Troubles. The troubles to which the cluteb are subject might be divided into four classes, namely, slipping,; gripping, dragging and spinning. , As its name implies, a slipping clutch is one which slips and does not hold properly. It is indicated by the engine racing when starting tho car, and while the clutch is engaged, the foot .pedal up all the way, this racing often being followed by a sudden jump of the car. The clutch will slip when ascending a hill, but except when in low gear, the driver is liable not to notice the slipping, and will instcd, be made to believe that the engine lacks power. When you find that your car does not climb hills, without your shifting to second or low gear, do not assume that tho engine has lost power, without being reasonably sure that the clutch in not slipping, as many a man is footed in this way. If the clutch ia of thedry-plate disc type, the remedy for gripping, when the springs are all right, is the same as tor' slipping, namely, the washing with kerosene. If the clutch is a wet. plate, then some oil should be poured into the housing so as to make the proportion of oil to kerosene greater. We find that clutch troubles are due either to the adjustment of the springs

sume that he springs are at fault. On the other hand, if the car has been running well for some time and the trouble gradually develops, it is natural to assume that the fault is with the clutch facings. The Dragging Clutch. By a dragging clutch is meant that it is not entirely disengaged when the pedal is pressed down as far as it will go. The dragging may be due to dirt, but is often due to the throw of the clutch being too little. In most t?ars the throw of the clutch can be adjusted. Sometimes this is done by screwing the thrust collar and its sleeve farther into the movable portion of the clutch, while on most cars the adjustment is in the coupling of the
pedal to thrust yoke or fork.
Jerk or, jump. A slipping clutch is
sometimes mistaken for a gripping one. as the clutch, after slipping a
while, will suddenly take hold and so
make the car jump. The grippingclutch jump is never preceded by the racing of the engine, as is the slipping. Too tight . a setting of the spring, and the condition of the facing is the cause of gripping. If the springs are
at fault, loosening the adjusting bolts
is the remedy. If the clutch Is of the leather-faced cone type, and the spring tension is all right, then the leather has probably become dry and hard, and the remedy is to treat the leather with
Neatsfoot oil, which will soften it. To do this, it is not always necessary to take out the clutch, as it can be done by pressing down the clutch pedal and then holding it down by placing a
stick between it and the front board of the driver's seat. The Neatsfoot
oil can then be smeared on the leather
with a piece of back-saw blade. The
clutch should be held back over night, so as to give the oil an opportunity
to soau into the leather.
Good Evening BY ROY K. MOULTON
THE GOOSE
The other day a friend of ours sent
us a goose and it looked good when it
reached the table. It looked good
enough to eat, but it didn't look that good when we got through trying to
carve it Did you ever try to carve a
goose? Carving a goose, we found, is an ex
act science. The tools to use are an
axe and a stick 'of dynamite. Knives are of no use whatever. The wing of the goose hooks on away back under the walking beam. We started on said goose at noon and by three o'clock in the afternoon we had one
wing party unhooked. In the mean

The spinning clutch is due to the clutch revolving because of its weight and momentum for sometime after-being thrown out, and is the cause of the gears clashing When .shifting. The clutch brake is furnished to prevent this, and refacing it may stop the spinning. " A slipping clutch is due to a weak or improperly adjusted spring, or to the condition of the clutch facing. OH may have soaked into the leather or asbestos facing. The formation of a "shoulder" on the cone-clutch facing is also sometimes the cause of slipping. If the spring is at fault, the remedy is to tighten or replace the spring. The spring being all right, and the clutch a cone clutch, then the leather facing must be thoroughly cleaned, and the: leather treated by spreading a thin coating of castor oil over it.

If you combined the curative properties of every known "ready-made cough remedy, you probably could not get aa much real curative power as there is in this simple home-made cough syrup, which ia easily prepared in a few minutes. Get from any druggist 2 ounces of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle and fill-the bottle with syrup, using either plain aTaaulated sugar syrup, clarified molasses, honey, or corn .syrup, as desired. The result is a full pint of really better cough syrup than vou could buy readv-made for three times the money. 'Tastes pleasant and never spoils. This Pinex and Syrup preparation gats right at the cause of a cough and gives almost immediate relief. It loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle and heals the sore, irritated membranes so gently and easily that it is really astonishing. A day's use will usually overcome the ordinary cough and for bronchitis, croup, hoarseness and bronchial asthma, there ia nothing better. Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and has been used for generations to break up severe coughs.

"It was a surprise to see how this new medicine Dreco took a hold on me and eased my pains," said Mr. George M. Ross, a well known farmer, living on R. R. No. 1 Kokomo. Ind. "I had pains in my back, my kidneys were weak and my whole system seemed to be run down. My stomach failed to digest my food but let it lay there and sour and bloat me up with gas. I frequently had headaches, dizzy spells struck me, my bowels were bound up and my nerves were all to pieces. . "That was how T felt when I started to take Dreco. It was surprising to see how it took hold of me and began to get my troubles straightened out. Before I had finished the first bottle all the ache was gone from my rheumatic joints. My appetite picked up; nerves quieted down and I began to sleep sound. My backache soon left me and my bowels were acting regularly every day. My, friends began to notice how much better I was looking and I sure was feeling better. I kept on taking Dreco and I can truthfully say today that I am well and strong again." v Dreco acts on the vital organs very promptly and restores them to natural activity. That's why Dreco is so successful it acts like Nature intends it to. ' ': . Mr. Powers, the well known Dreco expert, has headquarters at Thistlethwsite's Drug Store, to meet the local public and explain the merits of this
