HALLS Let Us Survey Your Insurance Needs PHONES 40 and 325-W NEVADA CITY HOT WEATHER RULES OF ELECTRIC MOTORS During hot weather, farm and home electric motors are apt to: get extra heavy use. About half . the damage which may result can be prevented by a few simple precautions, experts estimate. However, one needn’t be an expert to avoid expensive repairs. Most important rule is not to use too much oil or grease. This is the most frequent sources of trouble we’ve seen in the past three years. Follow makers’ directions carefully. If “two or three drops” are called for, don’t use more. See that motors have proper overload protection. This can be provided by an inexpensive fusetron, or circuit breaker. People sometimes make the mistake of using ordinary household fuses. Don’t do it. This can result in the motor overheating, burning out coils, or even starting a fire. Don’t let a motor get wet. Don’t operate when wet. Dry it first by baking in an even at 212 degrees fahrenheit. Be sure that belts are in alignment, and are neither too loose nor too tight. Make sure it is operating on a firm foundation. Vibration may cause parts to crystallize. Users are _ also. cautioned against ‘tinkering with electric motors without a complete understanding of their construction. An expert motor repairman should be seen when the motor fails to function properly. Doyle Underwood Is At Special Devices School in Tennessee Doyle J. Underwood, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. J.

San Diego: ted States built the ‘ine ever to be em war in: 1776, The Un first submé¢ ployed in ion in; attonded f Lesson from Britain Hard times and doing without— that’s still the order of life in Britain. “Austerity’’ is the official name for it. True, a little sacrificing is not harmful to anyone. But as a political system or way of life, British ‘‘austerity’’ is going to continue looking a bit drab (as a cloak for socialism), when you compare it with the private management and freedom of enter. prise we know in America. Britain, in effect, is telling America what not to do. But at the moment, the British
experience is helping underscore an economic fact that needs more underscoring here in America. That fact is this: increases in wages mean higher prices. Economists in our country have known for a long time that this is true, yet the popular view of it insists that the boss can go on indefinitely granting increases, year after year, without ever raising prices at all. The British know better. It seems that Sir Stafford Cripps, who is in charge of money matters in England, is right now urging British workers (even they who own industry and run the government) to work harder without higher wages. If the Britishers do this, the reason! ing goes, there will be more to ex.port to America. Then, Britain will have more dollars with which to buy _ the things her people need. Shrewd enough! Another Round? You see, the British are driving to get into as much of the American market as possible. Sir Stafford recognizes that if British workers should demand increases in wages, prices of British goods would make it impossible to compete successfully on the American market. In _ other words, the British (even the labor government) know that increases in wages do mean higher prices. Is Sir Stafford counting on prices going up in America? Well, at least he is laying plans to compete with American manufacturers—and another round of wage increases over here would do much to help him, according to his own formula. Yes, indeed: Another round of wage boosts . .would send up prices so high that: Sir Stafford would have little trouble in getting rid of everything Britain sells, from pottery to Austin Foreign trade is good for our na. tion. just like it is good for the British. It’s a two way street. If we fail . , to get into the competition ourselves, . then our goods will stop moving as . . fast as we know our production lines . ; can move them. . This lesson Britain is teaching us . . works at home, too. The one thing we want to do is to keep production ; going, for we knew that our people . want jobs and have the capacity to . , consume. But if we are going to kezp > forcing prices upward, we may one . . day realize that depression is here . just because we have done that very . thing. We can have nothing but false i prosperity that foretells depression, . if we force prices too high. . . as . Fires Keep Forestry .
