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 = g 3 .

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.” est fullbacks ever turned out at the Evanston school. During the season Holmer punted 55 times for an aver age of 44 yards, including numerous kicks Sor placemant rather than dis tance. emp!:;:ed 43 passes out of 84 n& for an average gain of 14 yards. His line plunging carried the bali 445 yards in 146 attempts. What will be Indiana’s loss prob ably will be the Army's gain.

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.

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. Hungry Actor in Real Heldup Lands in Jail New York.—Louis Breitenbach, an actor for twenty-eight years, usually cast as a juvenile under the name of Lew Carson, played a heavy part in real life recently at the end of which ne was a prisoner, charged with rob bery. Breitenbach, penniless and hungry, met a brother lpdger in the Bowery Y. M, € A. who knew nothing about the theater's make believe, but cast the actor in a real life -drama when he Inveigled him into “sticking up” a dry goods store, Even actors have to eat, reasoned the Y. M. C. A, brother, and Breiten bach agreed. Together they entered the store just as it was being shut up for the night. The actor, it so happened, had a cigarette case fash foned like a pistol. He pointed this at the owner's head and ordered him into a back room. A neighbor called a cop, who found Breitenbach trying in vain to pull a diamond ring off the storekeeper's finger, while his Y.

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.
