De Palma Prefers Motoring to Flying.
Ralph De Palma thinks there are
more thrills in auto racing than in fly
ing in an airplane. One day last fall,
while De Palma was serving as direc
tor of living at MeCook field, Dear Day
ton, 0., an aviation officer invited him
to take a trip in his plane. The motor
star accepted. lie was somewhat new
at flying then, and also dubious. But a
director of flying In supposed to fly, -
"Want to. do a few stunts?" asked
the officer, when De Palma was safely
strapped in, "A nice question com
mented De Talma, afterward. "There
was only one answer— we did them!"
Service Was Brief.
Do Palma's service In aviation was
brief, as he enlisted a couple of months
before the war ended. But It lasted
long enough to give him a well-rounded
experience in flying, both in the stunts
which might be compared to the thrills
of the speedway, and long distance
flying, which is comparable to the long
grind of automobile road racing. And
the veteran star lost no time In get
ting back to his own game, firm in the

Bearing Trouble — Study In

The adjustment of the connecting 1
rod bearings is one of the most com
mon repair jobs on an automobile en
gine. Probably the chief reason why I
these bearings wear faster than the
ethers Is that they are not lubricated
properly under all conditions. The
system described below has given very
good results and has almost elimi
nated connecting-rod bearing trouble.
Most of the oil delivered to the main
bearings escapes the" ends and flows
along the crank webs, and is finally
thrown off by centrifugal force. If
small scuppers are placed at the ends
of the crank-pins this oil will be
caught and may be carried through
the pin to the bearing.
In the right-hand Illustration one
throw of the crank-shaft Is shown
with the scupper in place. The oil
leads are indicated by dotted lines.
The radial hole should be drilled first,
and should extend to the center of the
pin. Then a hole should be drilled
through the center of the pin until

"On a trip of several hundred miles
you may be making speeds which

but there Is no competition, no audi

500-mile race, with competitors con

to most crank-shafts. Sketch A shows

or copper should be used. The end of
the shaft should be smoothed slightly,
and then the scupper riveted or
brazed in place. The crank-shafts are
carefully balanced in high-speed
motors, so care should lie used not to
change the balance any more than
necessary.
Before installing such a system a
careful Inspection should be made, to
make sure that there Is room for-the
scuppers at all places as the shaft re

crank-shaft could easily be damaged,
and In a job of this sort mistakes are
very costly, usually necessitating the
purchase of new parts. A study of
the engine's interior is essential to
every amateur motorist. —S. E. Gibbs

SUCCESS OF RURAL ROUTES
Important Factors Which Must Bo
Given Consideration In Motor
Transportation. i
(Prepared by the United Stales Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There are four important factors
which must be given consideration by
the beginner in the field of rural mo
tor transportation. These four fac
tors are: (1) The volume of farm
products produced along the contem
plated route; (2) the volume of mis
cellaneous hauling which could be se
cured to supplement regular loads; (3)
competition from other carriers which
would be encountered; (4) the charac
ter of the highways over which the
trucks must run. It may safely be
said that the features mentioned
above will ultimately determine the
success or failure of any rural route.
APPLYING ANTI-SKID CHAINS
Work Must Be Performed So as to
Avoid Clinking of Loose Chains
Against Fender.
Anti-skid chains must not be applied
tightly to the tires, as so many car
owners do to eliminate the clinking of
the loose chain against the tender.
Tight chains cut the lira badly. Pur
ther, the chains should be inspected at
frequent intervals and any cross links
that have become worn or have de
veloped sharpness should be replaced.
ADVANTAGES OF MOTORTRUCK|
If Satisfactory Collection and Delivery
Arrangements Are Not Perfected
Much Is Lost.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
. ment of Agriculture.)
It must be remembered that two of
the principal advantages of the motor
truck, namely. lessened handling of
goods in transit and speedier transfer
are lost if satisfactory collection and
delivery arrangements are not per
feeted.

A LOVE PROBLEM
By MONA DORR.
*» the train drew Into Medtield, Lil
lian Thornton glanced appreciatively
around the quiet little station. its
cleanliness had Impressed her when
entering the town.
Having come all the way from the
city of Jamestown to teach at the dis
trict school, the rural scenery gave her
m. feeling of contentment.
Glancing out through the window In
the tiny waiting room she saw a small
runabout stop and a tall man spring
out.
Up came Into the station, and step
ping up to her, hat In hand, asked:
"la this Miss Thornton?"
As the girl nodded, he continued:
"1 m Douglas Ramsey, superintend
ent of schools. Mrs. Gray asked me to
meet you. You know the roads are so
muddy." lie threw her a reassuring;
smile as he picked up her bags and led
the way to the car.
On the ride to Mrs. Gray's she
learned that her companion wns Mrs.
Gray's near neighbor, living with his
parents.
The beautiful scenery and lovely
fields Impressed Lillian, who had been
used to city life, and the ride had not
seemed a mile run when the car
drew up before a low, old-fashioned
cottage. Though it was the mouth of
September, the grass was still a lovely
green, and the dahlias, gladioli and
other late foliage, In their mingled
glory of yellow, pink and red, seemed
to nod a bright welcome to the girl.
As they started Dp the graveled path
the front door was opened and a
plump, pleasant-faced woman smiled
a welcome to Lillian.
"We'll not require an introduction,"
said Mrs. Gray as she pressed the
girl's hand.
After a few words. Superintendent
Ramsey departed with the promise to
call for Lillian the next day to intro
duce her to the new duties at Kelsey
school.
Mrs. Gray's family consisted of her
husband, a genial, hard-working farm
er, and her -year-old son Richard,
who would start into school with the
new teacher.
Lillian retired happy that night with
the assurance of a pleasant home, one
good scholar and the anticipation of
several others.
Tuesday morning found Lillian and
small Richard starting out tor the
school, which Stood down the road a
short distance. On the way Douglas
Joined them, and as they reached the
schoolhouse they saw a group of eager
little figures patiently waiting
"Hello. Johnny! Well, how goes It,
Ted':" and so on as the man greeted
each smiling face.
When they had all assembled In the
schoolroom the superintendent arose
and said: "Hoys and girls, this is our
new teacher, Miss Thornton, How
many are going to do their very best
to make this a model school this year,"
Twenty-five ready hands shot Into
the air !u acquiescence, and Lillian
Thornton knew her first battle was
won.
Days flew by Into weeks and, with
the teacher's city training, the little
school was fast becoming a model
classroom.
In the meantime the superintendent
had become a frequent caller at the
Gray homestead, and Lillian looked
forward with pleasure to his evening
calls.
One afternoon In midwinter a knock
was heard,"and one of the scholars ad
mitted Superintendent Ramsey. Need
less to say, books were laid aside and
attention was claimed.
"Now," said the teacher smilingly,
"we will have recitation." And there
followed quick sums in arithmetic
which were readily answered by the
older pupils.
Finally the work was switched to
the younger children.
"Richard"— this to the little Gray
youngster—"tell us tic answer to one
plus one."
The hoy thought for a moment, then
replied: "One!"
The teacher looked askance. "Why,
Richard, one plus one."
"One," he returned again. Then with
quivering lips and tearful eyes, "I
know, teacher, you said 'twas two; but
my mother said If—lf 'Smiley'—l
mean Mr. Ramsey, kept comln' to see
you, you two'd be one, so I thought
that was an example. You always say
to give an example."
There was a strained silence for
one minute, when a titter, then a
hurst of laughter was heard from a
roomful of lusty voting throats; ami.
worst of all, came tie- low chuckle of
a man.
Lillian* head came op from the
desk in double-quick lime, and her
flushed face and angry eyes met the
laughing gaze of 'Smiley' Ramsey, as
he was lovingly named by his many
little friends.
"My dear little girl," he laughingly
whispered, "why should yon be so
angry?" - ■ ." ' . .
The school was adjourned one hour
before closing time and then many of
the older girls came up to comfort
poor teacher.
The following autumn there was a
pretty wedding in which 25 little chil
dren gave their small blessings to
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Ramsey; and
a lovely new house was erected near
the little schooihoii.se; but the pupils,
and the parents, too —would have none
of It until its mistress had consented
to teach another year.
