Car Washing Is
Vety Important
. The lack of washing and failure to
\wash properly will do more toward
ruining the appearance of the car
than any other thing. The varnish
of the new car i 8 hardened and bene
fited by frequent washing with clear
cool water, writes Richard Bentley In
the Farm and Home. Mud, allowed
to dry or freeze on the car, takes up
all the oil from the varnish and
leaves the finish streaked and spot
ted. A single washing, done care
lessly, will destroy the luster that
careful washing has preserved for
months.,
Staft in by cleaning the top. Give
it a good stiff brushing to remove the
looge dust and then either sponge it
or use a soft brush with clear tepid
water and castile soap. A chamols
skin kept especially for the purpose
will hasten the drying, and, of course,
the top is not folded back until It is
thoroughly dry. About every other
time it is a good Idea to give the
interior a little more attention than
it gets from a stiff brushing.
Go over the leather upholstery with
a woolen cloth dipped in clear water
to which has been added a few drops
of ammonia, If the upholstery Is of
cloth it can best be cleaned by spong
ing with water containing a little salt
and alcohol,
Now you are ready to use the hose,
Be sure to remove the nozzle and flow
the water over every part of the hody.
This serves to wash off as much of
the dust as Is possible, and to loosen
Plan for Thawing Out
Frozen Auto Radiator
The owner of a small garage com
bined his servicing of cars with occa
vional repair work. During cold
weather, he announced a service of
‘thawing out frozen radlators. The
garage wns steam-heated, so he
equipped one of the radiators with
a large sheet-iron shield, bent over at
the top as shown and extending far
enough to cover the front end of a
car. The heat directed against the
frozen auto radiator melted the ice
in a few moments, With the motor
left running, the fan helped to draw
the hot air through, hastening the
process considerably. A small sum
was charged for this service, but it

Difference Between Hot
and Cold Spark Plugs
Spark plugs may be just plain plugs
and all alike to the motorist at pres
ent, but when airplanes become com
monplace all this may %e changed,
For instance, there is a change in
spark plug design, indirectly traceable
to aviation at least, which brings the’
cool plug into motor car use whereas
previously only hot plugs were em
ployed. At that, the cool plug in
motor car engines Is not so cool as
that in aircraft power plants.
What is the differeace? A hot plug
is one so designed that it becomes
sufficiently heated to burn off the ac
cumulation of oil and gasoline that
might produce carbon, thus short
circuiting the insulation. A cool plug
is just the opposite. Higher eompres
slon is bringing the latter type into
the foreground.
most fatal injuries can be traced
back to the fact that the men
played when they were not in
shape to stand the hard knocks.
Discussing the many footfall fa
talities this season, Fitzpatrick
said that the greatest cause of ac
cidents was due to starting serim
mage too early in the season be
fore the players were ready sos the
battering. The other time when
accidents are common, according
to a unique theory he holds, is just
before the big game when players go
through scrimmages, but try to save
themselves as much as possible.
“A man who tries to save him
self is much easier to burt than
one who is putting everything he
has into the contest,” Fitzpatrick
sald. A rigid physical examination
before a man is allowed to play
football is another important pre
caution, he added, and is especially
necessary for high school players.”

Best to Keep Auto Tools in Car Tool Box
It Is poor practice to leave the
garage without full equipment of tools
In the ear. It Is always when least
prepared that the unforeseen happens.
und the absence of an end wrench or
a Jack that has been left on the gurage
bench may cause a great deal of In
convenlence and possibly a long walk.
Every car comes completely equipped
and with a set of tools with which
every ordinary repair may be made,
The point to bear In mind Is to keep
these together In the ear and where
they can be found. When golng on an
extended tour It would be well to be
provided with a few extra accessories
which, while they do not form the
part of any tool equipment, can be
readily picked up In a moment at any
automobile supply store in the elty
and are often convenlent to have on
the road. These Include one or fwo

HUNT FOR SLAYER
HALTED BY WINTER
Alaskan Murderer Evades Pur
suit Nine Years.
Nome, Alaska.—Winter has halted
gearch for the Indian Klu-Tok, who,
government officers declare, has mur
dered more than a score of persons
during his nine-year reign of terror
over the upper Nushagak river valley,
in southwestern Alaska.
For nine years the Indian has
played a lone hand, ruling supreme
over “his %erritory.” For nine years
he has evaded arrest. During that
time trappers of the region who have
attempted to capture him have either
mysteriously disappeared or have
been found dead.
Finally, in desperation, the trap
pers sent an appeal to federal authori
ties. The Indigdn must be caught or
white men would be forced to leave
the district, they said. Murder charges
were sworn out against Klu-Tok, and
a federal posse was sent in search of
him late last summer.
Before he ecould be found, however,
the early winter of the North inter
fered. The search has been post
poned until next spring.
Klu-Tok, who is thirty-five years
old, is said to have begun his “reign”
shortly after his squaw was killed by
an unknown white man, who fled the
country. Officials say the death of his
wife left the Indian crazed with de
sire for revenge.
The first two murders laid to “The
Man of the Mountain,” as he is called,
were in 1919. Two natives were killed
then. He is said to have made the
threat that two more would be killed,
“all the same as moose.”
From that time on trappers and
prospectors have entered the district
only with extreme care, and several
who “invaded” the region never re
turned.
Once Klu-Tok was captured, but he
escaped within a few hours. In Sep
tember, 1927, three trappers surprised
him as he prowled about their tent.
He was held one night. The next day
two of the trappers left the tent to
take supplies to their trapping
ground. The third trapper was left
to guard the Indian. - -
Four hours later the pair returned
to find their companion dead and the
Indian gone. .
Injured Man Fflangs
From Tree 14 Hours
Luray, Va.—Clinging to the limbs
of a tree while he hung 40 feet over
Cedar Run, near Luray, Joseph L.
Jenkins was rescued at daylight one
morning after he had been suspended
fourteen hours. T
Young Jenkins was in the top of a
€O-foot tree gathering ¢hestnats. The
fabulous price of chestnuts—slß per
bushel—had caused him to risk his
life for them. The branches of the
tree extended part way over Cedar
Run. In some way he missed his foot
ing, darting down through the limbs.
After a fall of 20 feet he lodged- 40
feet from the ground.
With his right leg fractured he
dared not attempt to climb down the
tree.
He began calling for help, contin
uing intermittently throughout the
night. When daylight came Jenkins
was almost ready to release his hold,
taking his chances of escaping death
by falling on a pile of rocks, when
his last call was heard by Asa Nichols,
passing several hundred yards away.
Nichols improvised a ladder of
grape vines, down which he carried
the injured man, finally landing him
on the ground. Besides his right leg
being broken Jenkins is suffering
from internal injuries.

LEARNED IN 47
YEARS PRACTICE
A physician watched the results of
constipation for 47 years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are of
their health, diet and exercise, constipa
tion will occur from time to time. Of
next importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes, Dr. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti
gation, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
epsin, is a mild vegetable compound.
It can not harm the system and is not
habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it.
Dr. Caldwell did mot oigprove of
drastic physics and purges. He did mot
believe they were good for anybody’s
system. In a practice of 47 years he
never saw any reason for their use when
Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just
as promptly.,
