HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By C. N. LURIE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"LOV ELY."
" ID you enjoy the play?" "Yes,
I had a lovely time." The
person who used the word
"lovely" In this sense did not know,
or forgot, that "lovely" should be used
only to describe something which is
qdapted to or worthy of being loved
-that is, of Inspiring the highest
esteem of which the human being Is
capable. The word "lovely" nMeans,
according to the Standard dictionary,
"possessing mental or physical quall
t'es that inspire admiration or love;
winsome, charming, lovable, as 'a
lovely face.' "
The word "lovely" has, therefore, a
distinct and valuable place in English
diction, and should not he debased by
use In connection with common or or
dinary matters, or trifles. Instead of
"lovely," In most cases some such
words as attractive, agreeable, pleas
ant. enjoyable should be employed.
Here is correct use of "lovely": "She's
adorned amply that in her husband's
eye she looks lovely."
(Copyriht.)
THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PICNIC."
D URING the early years of
ed tim past century It was cus
le tomary for those who were
invited to an outQoor entertain
ment to bring their own re
freshments with them. A list
of what was considered nec
t- essary would be made out and
oe passed around among the
ry guests. and each person would
he to furnish a certain por
ed on of the repast, the name of
en article being then croessed,
of niclked. off the list. For this
1111 relon, this form of what the
or Fr4h refer to as fete cham
ot pet became known as a "pick.
and- " referring to the
a. select or picking of the
various articles and the acro
ag thei off upon the card,
and, throh the usual contras
tion, the central word was
dropped and the term shortened
to "picnic."
Though this word does not
appear to have been used prior
to 1802, outdoor entertainments
of this nature were common
during the two centuries which
preceded. Maanwarlng in a
letter dated November 22, 1618,
describes a birthday par for
the prince of Wales, at which
"every man did brlang his dish
of meat." "Sr George Young's
Invention." adds the writer,

CARE OF SPRING
WILL SAVE TIRE
Improper Adjustment of Brakes,
Careless Driving and Under
inflation Are Bad.
LUNRICATION IS NECESSARY
011 or Graphite Between Leaves Will
Enable Springs to Take Up Shocks
of Road and Prevent Racking
of Parts.
There is a very close relationship
between proper care of the springs in
an automobile and the mileage which
the motorist receives from his tires.
Properly adjusted, well lubricated
springs will mean longer life to tires
and to the entire cal, while cracked
or neglected springs will cause rapid
deterioration of engine, body and tires.
Many motorists believe that if they
make a cursory examination of the
tread and outer sidewalls of a tire
they are taking ample precautions
against undue wear and tire trouble.
Yet there are many other things to
which the average driver pays little
attention which have a direct bearing
on the service he gets from his tires.
Harmful to Tires.
Improperly adjusted brakes, care
less driving, overloading, underinfla
tlom and, last but not least, bad
springs will all strip dollars off the
tires every time the car is driven.
Springs are placed in a car not only
to make it more comfortable to ride
in, but also to take up a major part
of the road shocks and prevent rack
Ing of the various parts. When there
is a shock, such as comes when a
wheel hits a rough spot in the road,
the tires get it first. Then follow
shockis to the wheels, axle, body, oc
cupants and motor, with the springs
in between to take up as much as poe
sible.
Springs Need Lubrication.
When the springs fall to function
properly, all the shock has to be taken
up through the tires, both in the ini
tial shock and in the natural rebound.
Lubrication of the springs is not
dificult, and labor expendet In this
task will pay big returns. One of the
best methods is dismantling the
springs and lubricating them with
graphite grease. First remove all the
rust with an emery cloth. Another
method is to lift the body of the car
on jacks, and open the springs with a
cold chisel Inserted between each leaf,
squirting oil and greases in freely.
A simpler method is to take an oil
can and run it along the depressions
In the springs, allowing the oil to fow
out freely, and then rocking the car
to open and close the leaves, working
them back and forth, permitting the
oil to work well back under each leaf.

leather, from a heavy shoe, or a piece
of thick, tough canvas, is inserted
between the low-gear band and the
drum, as shown in the drawing. An
other strip of leather, or heavy cloth,
2 or 3 inches long, is rolled up sad
inlerted between the coil spring and
the flat leather band, in the manner
