John A. An draw. WHICH WAV? There hsvs been three stages in the history of. Nortb Adams as a city. Tho first was i period of boom and nflation.

That was when the city In the 'material eense of paving, lew, schools and so on was built. It waa done on a lavish scale, under aa Iron hand. For it was' done under the almost tots domination of one man a virile personality who nsed tha power that control of Industry and money gave him. The city which still enjoys the material assets of that period prospered until the trash came. Politically, it paid for Its growth with its independence.

With tbs collapse, and the passing it that strong control, the city fell ipon dark days, which stretched into reary years. It was a seemingly mending, and unendable, period of itagnatlon; a period of sordid politic-tl alliances, of struggle for personal idrantage and the brief taste of power; of almost constant retrogression. Hopes of better things wonld occasionally' only to be dashed. The people become soured, and pessimistic and suspicious and Quarrelsome-and well they might. Then came the glimmering of a new sense and a new sanity; and the war.

North Adams, in that tremendous ixperiehca, was swept Into a new ira; a new faith in itself and its power as a coherent body of men and women, with the stability and rational beings It waa an of self-revelation. The city had found itself. It ia seeing today with the eyes of maturity; not childishness. A great deal of nonsense has, we-think, been, wept out of its system with the cobwebs of the past. It has definitely entered into a state ot sound municipal, civic and Industrial health such as we ourselves have not here for considerably more than a quarter of a century.

It baa acquired a stability which has carried It through the depression ot the past three years, as an outstanding exception to the generality of New England Industrial communities. The momentum of a new, forward A It naati Editor Motor Service. uyfXIUVf fcOJ.wvayia Revkwof Rww movement can be felt; the Impulse, this time, not of feverish speculation under the driving force ot any centralised control, but of wholesome, careful, common progress. Shall we keep on? North Adams will never return to the first stage ot its municipal career. It will decide tomorrow between a leadership that looks backward to the second, and one that looks forward with the third.

Which does it choose? It Has Been Said Good humor is a good" habit. Never think your highest self is out of reaah. What we are tomorrow is what we, make ourselves today. Many a man's reputation depends on what isn't found out about him. It you are fond of giving good advice, be twice as fond ot taking it.

You don't need to fear tomorrow if you have done your level best today. Look upon your duties not as so many obligations, but as opportunities. 1 One way to be happy is to set a limit to your wants and keep them there. Never climb a mountain till you come to it then perhaps it won't be there. The world" la full of people who are skimming around the edge of their ambition.

It Is all right to spend money to make character; it is all wrong to spend character to make money. The most undeserved as well as the most dangerous flattery is that which we bestow upon ourselves. Men- always prefer to have bad news broken all at once women like it broken more diplomatically, by degrees. Think twice before you speak. Even then, nine times out of ten, the world will not lose anything it you keep quiet.

A country is not, matfe great by the number of square miles it contains, but by the number of square people it contains. Anyone can point out difficulties; It calls for brains and courage to look beyond difficulties to successful accomplishment. Man- sometimes learns more by failure than by success, and It is better to aim high and fail than to succeed in paltry scheming. A pessimist is a man who on every opportunity sees a difficulty; an op- By George Matthew Adams. Run Away Copyright, 19tl, bf the International ByniicaU Stiff Lubricant And Ibrd aear-Shifting IT THE TRANSMISSION GEARS, which tn with the driven clutch member, keep spinning by their own momentum or on account of dragging action ot the clutch members after the clutch is released, II makes gear changing very difficult, especially in chapglng from lowei to higher speeds, and a clutch brake Is provided, on some models ol cars, which acts automatically to slow down these gears when tb clutch is thrown out.

However, If the braking action Is too powerful and these gears are slowed down too suddenly or brought to rest almost gear shifting is also interferred with, for the drive shaft gears are running st car speed and the clutch driven gears may be practically motionless, by the time that meshing Is attempted. The too sudden stoppage of the countershaft gears and the difficulty Just mentioned are very often caused by the braking effect ot excessively viscous lubricant In which the gears are rotating and this undue damping effect of the lubricant Is dun to Its thickening by coM. Most ot the lnstanees of difficult gear-shifting, on cars which are started out in a very cold condltldh, are thus explained and the remedy Is the thinning of the transmission lubricant with light oil. Sometimes the gearcase dope may become so hard that the mere sliding ot the gears in It requires considerable force. JUST FOLKS TEAM-WOItK It's all very well to hsve courage and skill And It's fine to be counted a star, But the single deed with Its touch ot thrill Doesn't tell us the man you are; For there's, no lone hand In the game we play.

We must work to a bigger scheme, And; the thing that counts in the world today Is how do you pull with the team? i Thpv mftv aminA vrtlli np.lu A mav call you great, They may single you out for fame. But you must work with your running mate Or never you'll win the game; For never the work of life is done By the msn with a selfish dream. For the battle ie lost or the battle is won By the spirit of the team. It Is all very well to fight for fame But the cause in a bigger need. And what you do for the good ot tne game Counts more than the flash of It's the long, long haul and the dreary grind Where the etars but faintly gleam, And It's leaving all thought ot sell behind That fashions a winning team.

You may think it fine to be praised for skill But a greater thing to do to set your mind and set your will On the goal that's Just in view; lt's helping your fellow man to score When his chances hopeless seem, It's forgetting self till the game is o'er And fighting for the team.

OVERIiEAJf MIXTURES MAT BE WASTEFUL J. writes; I understand thai high gasoline consumption may the reault of using a mixture thai -is too rich in gasoline and thai making tha mixture leaner will Im prove the fuel economy, but is II possible to carry this too' far and to make the mixture ao poor ia gasoline that economy will be sao rlflced rather than gained. Answer: It la possible to use I mixture so lean that It burns very slowly and; In so doing, not only develops a low working pressure, but Is still burning, at the opening of the exhaust valva, with the ra ult that much of lta heat energy' It lost with the exhaust gases and inti the cooling thus reducing engine efficiency and Increasing fuel consumption.

asks: What Is Indicated when the oil pressure of a car begins to run higher than it prevloua-ly has dona? Answer: Tha gage indicates tha back pressure due to the resistance encountered by the flow of oil between the pumP and the oil delivery points and anything which Increases the flow resistance will Increase tha pressure Indication. For' Instance, If a heavy oil la adopted, the pressure will run higher than with a thin oil and higher pressure will be shown with an oil thickened by cold than with the same oil when warm. Any obstruction that occurs In a delivery pipe or oil distribution passage will, by tha resistance which It offers, Increase tha oil pressure. Aa the complete or even partial stoppage of any one delivery channel mav result In failure of lubrication and serious damage, the causa of high oil pressure should be Investigated promptly and by cleaning; out the clogged passage.
