| 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 recordsand innocently purchased “Arkan-saw Blues” and “Blue Blues,” a rec-ord by the Mound City Blue Blowers.

The catalog imparted the informa-tion that this record is “anew typeor dance music by anew orchestra.”

With this record and others undernyarm, I made my way hoiruj peace-fully, not dreaming of the “terrible”thing which was going to happen inmy nousehold.

There is "musical heat” to a rec-ord. Believe it or not, that is true.I did not permit the Mound City en-tertainers to start their program un-

-1 til I started the domestic job ofwashing 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 rec-ord began to unfold.

The musical temperature of myfi.st became warmer and warmer. Iswayed to the jazzy tunes. My feetbegan to prance in none too grace-ful time to the music as I wiped aperfectly good china teacup—reallythe pride of th“ “stablishment.

Then it happened.I wanted to snap my fingers as

the music became warmer and warm-er. The result was a good deal likewhat happened when Joe Cook andthe Senator with a large strip ofrubber in their mouths attempted tosay "Omaha.”

The teacup slipped out of my handand landed in several hundred pieces jon the floor.

Now you can see why I warnyou not to wipe dishes while theMound City Blue Blowers are jazzing up the ozone. Here is anewrecording organization which meets

RUTH ROGERS

Hester Bailey of this city isbeing represented in vaudevillethis week at the Lyric by present-ing “The Hester Bailey Revue.”In the company is Ruth Rogers,daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L.Rogers, 3609 E. Sixteenth St.

THE average individual, engrossed withhis own affairs, may not appreciate

that the number of automobiles increased1200% between 1913 and 1923, while theaverage price of gasoline for the entireyear 1923, increased but 12% over theyear 1913.While the production of crude oil duringthe period increased 300%, the output ofgasoline increased 600%—a noteworthyachievement.Without the processes originated anddeveloped by the Standard Oil Company(Indiana), this increased yield of gasolinecould not have been obtained.The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)has led in the adoption of improvedmethods in all departments of refiningand marketing petroleum.

This Company has fostered the adoptionof every new methodwhich could influencelower production and distribution costs.The benefits resulting from these improve-ments have been reflected to the consumerin better service and better products.The motorist driving through the MiddleWest is able to buy gasoline made by thisCompany at convenient intervals on citystreets and country roads.

He may encounter all shorts of food andlodging—all kinds of roads —but he willfind Standard Oil Company (Indiana)gasoline everywhere and everywhere thesame, and the price will be low.To maintain such a satisfactory conditionof affairs, the Management of the StandardOil Company (Indiana) has dealt wiselywith labor —employed capital sensibly—and used invention intelligently.

In this way it has been able to assume agenerous share of the great burden ofmeeting a 1200% increased demand forgasoline while charging only 12% morefor its products in 1923 than in 1913.

Steering Gear Should Be Inspected NowThe 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 atthe steering wheel which soon tires your wrists and tries your nerves.In addition to the discomfort of driving a car that steers hard youare liable to have a heavy bill for front tires. If the alignment of thefront wheels is not correct, the front tires will be GROUND down owingto the scruffing action which is set up. This acts in much the sameway an emery wheel would act if it were brought in contact with thetreads of the tires. If you find that you are getting very poor mileagefrom your front tires, 'do not blame the tires before you check up thefront wheel alignment.

In addition to the discomfort ofdriving a car that has wobbly frontwheels and that steers hard, you aretaking chances that may cause abad accident. When the steeringgear and connections are not keptlubricated properly, they start towear very quickly and rattle badlj.This play in the connections startscrystallization in the steel in thesteering arms, steering knuckles andsteering lever and makes them lia-ble to snap off when they receive nvery hard jolt. If any of the con-nections should break, you lose con-trol of your car, then of course thereis an accident.

The first thing to do is to thor-oughly clean the hard grease andmud off all connections and lubricatethem thoroughly. The drawingshows all connections clearly that re-quire attention. First fill the steer-ing gear case with a light grease orheavy lubricating oil. Next greasethe hall joints on the connecting rod.If there is very much play betweenthe ball end of the steering leverand the connecting rod or netweenthe knuckle lever hall and the con-necting rod. take out the cotter pinholding tlie adjusting screw on theend of the connecting rod and screwIt up just enough to take out theplay. Be sure to replace the cotterDo not screw up this adjustment too

Next feel if there is any play inIs, you will have to tit new parts ithe play is not very bad, perhaps n<

Now that you have checked upthe connections, get into the drivingsea.t and see how much movementthere Is of the steering wheel beforethe wheels begin to move. Thereshould be a small amount of play,about one inch. If there is morethan this, loosen the clamp nut atthe top of the gear case cover andturn the adjusting nut until themovement of the steering wiieel oneway or the other does not exceedmore than an Inch. Be very care-ful not to make the adjustment tootight or the steering will be stiff. Ifyou find it is impossible to takethe play with this adjustment with}out making the steering very stiff.

the gear has worn and must be turned round to exposei anew part ofthe worm. This is a Job you must have done by a good mechanic.

With all connections tightened up and adjusted, test the front wheelalignment. To do this secure two long rods and carefully measure thedistance between the rims of the wheels directly in front of the centerof the axle. Now measure the distance between the wheels behind theaxle. If the alignment'is correct, the distance in front will be from one-fourth inch to five-sixteenths inch less than if is opposite the same pointat the rear of the wheels. If necessary to adjust, remove the holt in theadjustable yoke on the rod and turn it in or out until you get the correctalignment.

Go over all steering connections and clean and lubricate them atleast every 300 miles and examine to see that they are in good condition.This attention will save you repair bills and make steering easier andsafer.
