OVERHAUL AUTO
AT EARLY DATE
Spring Is Time to Get Car Into
Shape for Use During En
tire Summer Season.
SOME TI MELY SU GGESTIONS
F Irrt Question to Bs Decided It Wheth
er There Is Any Part of Mechan
ism Needing Repair That
Owner Cannot Give.
It used to be the fashion for village
debating societies to discuss at need
less length the thrilling question of
■whether the pleasures of anticipation
are greater than those of realization.
We need not enter Into this now. hut
certainly the present season, with Its
anticipations of the Joyous time Just
ahead, is not the least pleasurable of
the motorcar owner's year.
But If the full enjoyment of these
coming days of spring Is to be realized
the car owner must give his vehicle
some careful attention ut the present
moment.
The first question that must lie de
elded In undertaking the spring over
haul la whether there Is any vital part
of the mechanism that requires atten
tion which the owner does not feel able
to give. Does the rear axle need over
hauling? Is the transmission good for
another season? I)o the engine hear
ings require adjustment? If the car
must go to the service station for some
replacement or repair, take It today.
As a beginning of the work that you
Intend to do yourself make a careful
list of all parts and equipment that
you are going to need. Gather the vari
ous things you expect to use. cotter
pins, nuts, holts, valve-grinding com
pound. patches, cement, waste, gas
kets. grease, graphite, oils, kerosene,
valve spring, lifter, etc.
Cleaning Come* First.
With the materials all gathered and
ready to hand, the first step In over
hauling Is a thorough cleaning. This
should Include not only the body, but
the upholstery and the running gear
underneath the vehicle. The engine
should he thoroughly cleaned, all
gummy deposits being removed with
kerosene. All oil compartments, crank
ense. geurset. differential, etc., must be
drained of their old oll, und after be
ing flushed out with kerosene should
be refilled with fresh lubricant.

BOLSHEVIK DRIVE
. O N POL ES FAILS
Soviet Attacks on 600-Mile
Front Reported to Be
Weakening.
Warsaw — Polish armored trains
fought pitched battles against the bol
shevlk monitors and other fighting
craft on the Pripet river during the
bolshevik thrust which was designed
to gain control of additional links of
the railroad extending from Homel to
Kalenkowlcz and Mozi.
The bolshevik drive baa been un
successful, according to a communica
tion Issued here. The communication
announces that the Polish military au
thorities after eight days of flghtlug
at various points on the 60U kilometer
front, see signs of weakness In the
long-planued spring drive of the bol
shevik!, which was designed to break
the hold of the Poles upon the entire
front.
Tn« communication also reports ae
vere fighting tn the region of Oiensk
and to the south along the Slutch riv
er. with both sides ualug artillery ex
tensively.
On the Podolian front there Is fight
ing along the railroad from Ploskirow
to Zloeryuka. the bolshevlkl having
attacked. They were driven back a
•ew kilometers in a northeasterly di
rection. however. The Pole* have an
nounced that several of the bolshevik
formations were annihilated. During
the recent fighting In the swampy
country near Mozlr, the bolshevlkl
used loug-rauge guns, the newspapers
said, arousing the local population,
which took up arms and aided the
Poles, defending the ralltoads and the
countryside.
irish Threatened
BY REIGN OF TERROR
Dublin.—Ireland Is believed to be the
scene of a deadly vendetta.
Sinn Fein leaders said a reign of
terror bad been declared by extremists
of their own ranks on one hand and
sympathisers of the government, poll«»!
and military authorities on the other.
The murder of James McCarthy,
Sinn Fein leader at Thurles, was seen
as the latest expression of the vendet
ta. McCarthy was shot and killed at !
10:30 a. m. by a band of armed men I
who broke into bis bedroom. Sinu
Felners said he was murdered In cold
blood without opportunity to defend
himself.
Unusual precautions have been taken
to protect the lives of all government
officials. The goverument feared early
efforts at retaliation by the Irish na
tionalist radicals who have asserted
openly that the deaths of Slun Fein
members will not go uuavc-ugc-d.
ALLIES REFUSE REQUEST
Ebert Cannot Send Man Into the
Rhine District.
Paris.—The allies have refused
Germany permission to send troops !
into the Khiue districts to restore or- |
«1er there. It was reported. The allied
decision followed Germany's refusal
to allow entente forces to occupy the
cities of Frankfort and Darmstadt as
a guarantee that any troops aetit into
the Ruhr district to down communist
forces there would be withdrawn as
soon as order was restored.
Absolute confirmation of the en
trance of regular German army troops
into the Ruhr district, on the edge of
the allied zone of occupation, without
any permission from the allies, baa
been received by the French foreign
office The French say they can find
no excuse whatever for the sending
of troops Into this section.
German Government Will Protect
Berlin.—Energetic measures to re
store order and to protect the German
people from ''Illegal acts" will be
taken by the government against
communist forces operating In the
Ruhr region, said a manifesto Issued
by the goverument. The news from
lha Ruhr industrial district, the Rhine
land In general, and from Westphulta.
permits the conclusion that order will
be gradually restored In those regtous,
where rebellious forces of working
men have been operating.
