WQûP * ^*P£/2\*/OC?C>
By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN
HO ARE tiie twelve greatest living
American women? This embarrassing
question is asked of the National
League of Women Voters by Senorita
Graciela Mandujano of Chile. The
Chilean woman was a delegate to the
Pan-American Conference of Women
recently held at Baltimore in connec
tion with a convention of the Na
tional League of Women Voters. She
is a writer and she wants to write
up the twelve for home publications.
The question is indeed embarrassing.
There is, for one thing, an embarrass
ment of riches. If there were only twelve women
in the United States worthy of being named in
answer to the question, all would be well. But
the United States has so many great women—to
say nothing of the famous ones !
It's also embarrassing to the National League
of Women Voters, for the reason that to answer
it the league must perforce name at least one
of its own members.
And it's embarrassing to anyone asked to draw
up a list—there are so many things to be consid
ered. For example, from one viewpoint one would
natqrally name the "First Lady of the Land"—
Mrs. Warren G. Harding—and from another Mary
Plckford or Mary Garden or Geraldine Farrar
Mary Roberts Rinehart or Ida M. Tarbell or Edith
Wharton.
Again, one might name Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont
or Alice Paul of the National Woman's party
Mrs. Maud Wood Park of the National League of
Women Voters; it depends upon whether one Is
is not militant in the matter of women suf

Mary Garrett Hay, who wrote out a

put the situation very well.
"It is Impossible to do justice to
American women by selecting a paltry
twelve. Each person will select accord

have chosen conform to a type that I

There is a certain type of motorcar

other type flies a dollar's worth
metal from the interrupter points. And
still another wants to grind the valves

they persist in teasing it constantly.
Don't Grind Valves.
Don't grind your valves—until they
actually need it. Don't he forever
fussing with the engine. Don't Imag
ine that every little trouble has its
origin in the engine—it will get you
into trouble if you do.
I have seen cases where valves have
been ground so deep in the casting
that the seat was at the bottom of a
"well," and when the valve was
pushed open there was very little
space for the passage of exhaust
gases, writes B. W. Cooke, president
of the Coyne Trade and Engineering
school, in an exchange. A little more
grinding would have worn through the
castings and left no seat at all.
If the valve sets in the cylinder
care should be taken to plug up all
openings leading to the cylinder so
that no grinding compound may work
inside. Also, the grinding compound
must be carefully wiped out at the fin
ish—otherwise it will keep on grind
ing and wear out the cylinder walls.
It is well to check up the push rod
clearance before and after valve
grinding; before, because there may
not be enough clearance to allow the
valve to seat, thus causing the leak
which appears to make grinding nec
essary—afterward, because there may
be a slight lowering of the valve, mak
ing adjustment necessary.

You Auto Know
That some cars have a ten
dency to leak oil from the right
hand wheel housing, even when
no excess of lubricant Is ap
parent anywhere else. This Is
due to the fact that the right
side of the car is usually at a
lower level than the left, espe
cially when driving along coun
try roads where macadam is de
signed to shed water into the
ditches on either side. As a re
sult of this leakage, the right
hand brake band is often cov
ered with a thin film of oil which
prevents it from functioning
properly.
A simple remedy for this is to
wrap a long strip of thin felt
around the shaft, starting from
the wheel end and working In a
direction opposite to the forward
motion of the wheel, covering
the axle for a distance of about
eight inches. The felt should
then he fastened to the shaft
with shellac and held in place
by cord, tied around it several
times. When the shaft is turned,
the effect of this is to force the
oil back toward the differential
and away from the brakes.

PLAN TO PREVENT SKIDDING
Readjustment of Radius or Torque
Rods Will Remedy Defect, Sel
dom Suspected.
When an automobile skids with the
least cause and sometimes apparently
without cause, the radius rods or
torque tubes which hold the rear axle
perpendicular to the center of the car
are the reason. A bend or incorrect
adjustment of one of these rods throws
the center of the axle around and the
wheels do not track, but tend to roil

wheels and skidding is the result.
Tills is one of the seldom suspected
causes of skidding and the remedy is
to take accurate measurements from
the yoke-bolts at each side of the front
axle to the rear axle and adjust or
straighten the rods as required until
the measurements are exactly alike.—
