Car, owners who use dry batteries
often have occasion to lament the
brief existence of these devices. 'In
many cases the real reason why the
dry batteries fail so rapidly is sim
ply because they are not protected
ironj moiaiure, vain a no excessive
viDration, it; is easy to . make ' a
stout wooden box : fitted with - a
cover and permanent terminal con
nections. The sides, bottom, ends
and cover are made of hard wood
three-eights of an inch thick. The
box may be made to accommodate
as many cells as desired, either in
single or double rows. The various
parts of the box are screwed) to
gether and the inside is given an
even toat of melted paraffin wax to
render it moisture proof. The cover
should be made to ht flush, with the
box sides. .
1 Odometer Accuracy.
One frequently hears the sugges
tion that a change of tire size
makes a very serious difference in
the accuracy of the speedometer
and more particularly of that shown
by the odometer. As a matter of
fact, there is a difference, - but it
amounts to very little when short
distances are considered. . For in
stance, a difference of half an inch
in diameter in a 34-inch tire makes
a difference in odometer reading of
80 feet to the mile. However, when
a permanent change in tire size is
made, if is important to have the
recording instruments adjusted to
meet it.v .

Simplicity is everything in motor truck construction.
, When you see a chassis with braces here and props there and cross
pieces somewhere else, you can be sure the truck needs them. Weak-
: ness had developed and that was the remedy. Or they wouldn't be there.
. ' ; " :" ; '
But that costs the truck operator money in upkeep. ( It increases
his first-cost for he pays for the extra designing, the extra parts. '
. .- . 1 , ' , 1 1 - .
- Now go over the All American Super-Truck. It is as clean-limbed :
as an athlete. Its design came from United States war experience. There .
are no rods, no braces nor props. It is simple, clean construction.
"A V '.""" - 4 s -
: - Sometimes frames sag. The maker may run a brace from the axle
to the weak spot Not with the All-American--for the frame, 5-inch
pressed steel channel, is stronger than needed for the rated pay load.
v ' . Some makers carry the pay-load on the rear axle, which, in addition
must deliver the power. The. All-American's axle is free, of this load -a
"dead axle" load-carrier is provided. - . ,
' Clean construction means lowest hauling costs. ; And knowing this
fact is anyone's privilege, whether he la an engineer or not.
I You can see it yourself in a flash the moment you loolcat an All
.. American chassis, for it is simplicity itself with' the Giant Strength of
simplicity. Come and see the Ail-American chassis. '? '

MAJOR r.lAMER TO
iiEUV FIND JOBS
FOR YANKS HERE
Has Been Appointed Omaha
Representative of the Na
T tional Advisory Committee
by War Secretary;
Maj. John G. Maher of Omaha,
it is announced by Col c Arthur
Woods, sasiatant to the secretary
of .war, and charged with the task
of finding; employment for ex-service
men, Taa been appointed. a the
Omaha representative of the na
tional advisory committee. ' The
function of this committee is to
bring; ex-soldiers and-, sailors into
contaet with the kind of jobs that
they are fitted for and desire to ob
tain. ; It will endeavor in every case
to put men where their- military
training and their previous expen
ence will best fit them.
The committee is . composed of
distinguished citizens in leading
cities all over the country, who have
also been members of the military
establishment of the United States
during the- war, and have seen serv
ice overseas. Because of their-sym-pathetic
attitude towards other men
who have also been in the service,
and their great industrial experi
ence, these' men will be of the great
est value in solving the .problem of
unemployment among , discharged
soldiers and sailors. , . v
"Careful attention," says Colonel
Woods, "will have to be paid to the
fact that, the. men who are coming
back from the military and naval
service feel that they are -physically
and mentally more valuable than
they were before. They are there
fore expecting higher pay and bet
ter opportunities in the work that
they are trying to obtain. To some
persons this has seemed an - unfor
tunate attitude on the part of the
soldiers, but most employers are of
the opinion that it is a healthy sign
because it will tend to the speedy
readjustment and rapid promotion'
of. the men who are now coming
back to civilian life."
Colonel Woods also reports that
the employment problem is rapidly
approaching normal proportions.
"Our greatest problem now,", he
says, "seems to be less that of find
ing jobs for soldiers than -of get
ting the soldier in connection with
the job. Practically all employer
have stated, and are now recording
themselves officially to that effect,
that they will gladly take back their
old men. From what we learn, fur
ther, they are taking them back at
prevailing 'wages and not at the
same pay they received before the
war. In many cases we have heard
that employers are givmg them full
credit for time spent! in the serv
ice, towards senority in the busi
ness, company insurance benits.
etc." ' ; - .
Motorcycles Come More
And More Into General Use
"Yesterday all the energy; all the
strength, all the suoerior skill, all the
mechanical knowledge, in fact, all the
combined efforts of our factories
executive and manufacturing forces,
as well as every available inch of
their massive nlant. were servine-
willingly, enthusiastically and patri
otically the victors in the most co
lossal world war of all ages. For
Indian motorcycles were not only
used in large .predominating quan
tities by the armed forces of the
United States, but by others of the
victorious allies," said Sam F. Boord
of Omaha Bicycle company.
A great many more than halt ot
all the mbtorcycles ordered by the
United States government for war
purposes were Indians 1
"But now we are. on the road ot
another year a year that marks not
alone a great meterial reconstruction
period, but a period of great recon
struction of ideas, thoughts and
opinions. Motor transportation in
all its forms will demand more and ,
more serious consideration. Motor
cycles have added to their already
vast army of admirers, thousands of
men whose war duties untomed to
them the real efficiency, service and
pleasure of the motorcycle.
Wenger Tries for More
Shipments of Haynes
E. C. Wanger. of the i Wenger
Motor company, spent last week at
the Haynes factory in an effort to
secure . additional . shipment of
Haynes cars for this territory. ,
Mr. Wenger says he is convinced
that productions will not get back
to normal until late this tall and
that prospective buyers will show
good judgment in placing orders for
automobiles regardless of the make
at the earliest possible moment
To Remove Dust.
Make a Solution of one part sul
phuric acid to ten, parts water.. On
withdrawing the articles treated
from the acid, dip them in a bath of
hot lime water ana hold them there
until they become so heated v that
they will dry immediately when
taken out Then rub them dry with
bran or sawdust The parts , will be
found perfectly clean after i this
treatment and can be planted with
fireproof paint blued or nickeled or
left as they are, at . the owner's
desire.
Leaky Pump Glands..
In some instances the stem of the
water pump has become so worn,
usually 'in annular grooves, that the
pump can not be packed to make it
tight When this happens the only
thing to do is to remove the spindle,
true it up on the lathe and have a
new bushing fitted to it After this
if hemp soaked in tallow, wicking or
some other good packing is used the
joint can be made tight y . V
Carburetor Fire.
In the rare icases where the car
buretor catches fire because of a
backfire, the conflagration may be
extinguished by turning off the gas
olene and then racing the engine, in
this wav the ensrine sucks the flam
ing liquid out of the carburetor and
so the fare dies out of itselt. ,

Nichols Says Autos
S Not .to Be Built Fast V
f : Enough for Demand
. . t 'i
That it will be absolutely impos
sible for tba motor car manufactur
ers of this country to meet the de
mand for automobiles for three or
four year to come,, is the convic
tion of W. R. Nichols of the W. R.
Nichols Motor Co.,' distributors of
the Djadt Flyer.
'"There is a tremendous shortage
of motor can now," says Mr. Nich
ols. .. "From all the information we
have been able to gather, this short-,
age will continue for several years.
People who want to get new auto
mobiles will 40, well to place their
orders as muclrin advance as pos
sible; otherwise they run the risk
of being disappointed. . Already
hundreds of buyers have been com
pelled to take some car other than
their ( first . choice because of the
unprecedented demand. The de
mand for. the Dixit Flyer has ex
ceeded all previous record. We had
believed that we were in an excep
tionally- fortunate position ' by rea
son, of the fact that w had con
tracted for materials for several
tnousana cart on a oenmw dmu,
and therefore would get immediate
deliveries ' of material." - ' j ,
Vacuum xTanIc Trouble. -When
foreiarn matter of some kind
finds its way into the fuel pipe be
tween the two sections or tne vac
uum svatem the result is that the
vacuum tank is empty in spite of the
fact that there is plenty ot tuei in
the main tank. When this happens
fill the float chamber of the carbu
reter with gasoline, which can be
drawn from the main tank, and then
start the engine . The resulting suc
tion will draw out the obstruction
and permit the system to function
again. This same trouble it some
times caused' by the obstruction of
the small air hole in the tilled cap
of the main fuel tank, which must
be kept open to induce atmospheric
pressure of the gasoline.

And How They Walked
All Over the Landscape
At Walla Walla
A: few weeks ago a big Farm Power Demonstration as
held at Walla Walla, Wash., attended'by about 40,000 people.
Of course, Patriot Trucks were there.
At this Demonstration, Patriot Trucks were the onlyi rear
driven trucks that went over the hills , in the plowed ground
, uiider capacity loads.,. " . . ,
PATRIOT TRUCKS :
Are Now "In the Movies"
In fact, the performance of the Patriot Truck in plowed ground, over rough1
country roads, up mountain trails, was so unusual .and so distinctive that the .
International "Movie Man" wanted' the rest of the world, to see" it, so he "fol
lowed" it with his camera.
Patriot Trucks will take care of your transportation problems just as easily,
as they "stole the show" at Walla Walla. .:- .i - " .
