KcncfUiul To Aiuomobitc Engine*— Kerosine Csed An occasional (lushing out la beneflcial. After an engine has been run for seme time, the oil. especially if not of good q'.ality. Is in part decomposed by the beat Into a gummy, s'icky substance, which Is deposited upon the internal surface where the absence of friction permits to collect. fror tustance, it accumulates in the grooves in which the piston rings are placed and it tiually forms Co such extent as to glue the rings In a fixed position and to prevent their expanding to tightly pack the pistons against leakage. It also is likely to form upon the stems of the valves, preventing their free and prompt motion In thtlr guides and also upon valve faces and valve seats, tending to cause them to leak. I his is particularly true of the exhaust valves, through which the oi. ejected from the cylinders must pass end which run so hot as to favor the “baking' upon them of the gummy deposits. If ihis deposition of oil residue progresses far enough, compression may be seriously reduced through faulty piston ring action, the sluggish closing of valves and leaks under gummy valve faces. In order to counteract this effect, It Is considered very good practice period.iiully to give an engine a 'kerosene bath,” for kerosene is an active solvent of oil residue. The usual way of applying kerosine is «s follows: With teh engine fully warmed up and running briskly a good sized squirt can is filled vith kerosene and this is injected directly Into the carburetor air intake as fast as It can be without causing the engine to stop. As much as a pint can be supplied to an engine with good r.v suits. The kerosene is caught up bv the entering air and drawn through the inlet valves, whose faces mid stems are thus pretty well cleaned nnd thence into the cylinders where Ir works down into the ring grooves, softening the gummy d-posits there and freeing <ne rings, when it passe* cut through the exhaust valves, re- ( moving the. sticky deposits upon thc|r stem'! and faces Considersh'e kerosene of < onr- ■ entirely passes the pistons nnd enters the crank case, thinning the oil there to a certain extent, so that the most favorable tirio tor the kerosene treatment Is just before the crank case is to be emptied and fresh oil supplied. Kerosene was formerly murk used as a decarbonizing liquid, but its power to remove hard incrustations is now I discounted, it is however capable of irmoving objectionable deposits ot : li kened oil.

' It is not exactly illness,” explained tii i young woman with the whit* roses in iier hat. “It is mostly shock. And I don’t blame him. it was an ■ uc.fu! evening!’' “Tell me!” begged her fr!cnd. "Wc went to tiie movies,” proceed- [ r tiie heroine of the tale. “I suppose It was just a curious coincidence, but r. last film had a snake in It!” “My goodness!" shuddered the girl in ilie orange waist. “That’s what 1 said!” agreed the ether. •'First," she continued, “they tied a klrl to a ladder in an abandoned house and the villuiu, who appeared to be a snake collector, took them out o r a bag by the handful and shook Iheni at her and then draped then* nicely around the ladder above her. D was a comic film, so called, and ended by a dozen policemen and all the rescuers being tangled up with all the snakes.

ole ncMiborho'-d I* busy I htoties nliout the myster-I v that occurred at our i

ov a of ge'ting rid of people quickly. His method is “the push oat handshake.” .The visitor is brought in and introduced. The manager grasps his hand in a warm and fervid embrace end holds on to It. He holds on to it for the very best reason In the world —that, if he ever let go he would be lost. lie shakes and pushes and he pushes toward the door. Tiie visitor finds himself unwittingly saying “good by" before lie has really had a good opportunity to csy "How do you do." Actually before he knows It he Is pushed out Into the hall and the attendant loads him away. The mail with numerous deputies who ,1mpersonate him is the most common form of getting rid of people that ar® not wanted. It Is not su infrequent occurrene/j that a beardless youth will go to some anteroom to see a caller and Impersonate the personality of a gray whiskered veteran of buslnesa or profession. The guileless caller, lu a majority of cases, will possibly wonder how the man he called on has been able to keep his age so well. But he will go away satisfied and pleased that he has had a personal interview with the man he came to see. There Is also the telephone trick, which many prominent men use. This Is the operation. The caller, whose business haa been consurumated and who is simply sitting around with the idea that ho Is making himself agreeable and solid with the man he came to see, is Interrupted In possibly a good story by a vigorous ring on the telephone. The “big man" that he is calling to see necessarily has to attend to It. No sooner is he finished with this call and turns politely to his visitor and says ‘'Yes" than comes another ring ou the telephone. The unwelcome caller ts simply rung out, and all simply because there is a wide awake clerk in the outer office who understands that a certain bell ring or a certain signal means to call up the central exchange and keep the magnate's telephone busy until tho unwelcome cal1 -r has been got rid of. There is still another way. It is tiie haughty, sarcastic and couV'tnptuoug way of receiving callers. This ran be done and Is done without even Indulging in any mannerisms or unkind words. As, for insiance, a gentleman was very desirous of seeing the president of n hank. There was no esp.'C.al reason why t.ie president of

the bank wanted to see him. but there were very good reasons why tho caller wanted to see the president. Me (tiie caller) was armed vith letters of in'roductlon nnd with cards from people whose names should have counted for something. He made two or three fruitless calls, only to be Informed that the pi - ddeat had gone to a directors’ meeting or was at Atlantic City or Palm Bench or at lunch. At the best ho hoped for a possibility of cptrhing him in the corridor when he was rushing to keep one of these onerous engagements. Finally, after sitting around tiie bank president's olfleo for font hours, during which time he' was told that the aforesaid president would probably be at leisure In an hour, ho was ushered in through a long suite of exterior offices until, finally, he reached the personal sanctum of tho president. There lie expected to find a man with a worried look, a stream of people coming out after seeing him, and the president sitting In front of a desk with a mass of correspondenoe which he had not time to attend to. and in fact every other indication of an extremely busy and overworked human being. On Hie contrary, what lie saw was a dignified, pleasant man, who loaned hack in very comfortably upholstered rhair, shooting coffee beans from bis tbuml) jind forefinger at a target on the opposite wall, which was nothing else than the no*j of a reproduction of a very celebrated painting. TT.e caller said: “Are yn i very busy, Mr. President?” The president of His bank replied —“Yes. I am very busy, but 1 run give von a minute. \Yhaf i 3 it?” It is unncc! -. ;irv to add that tho call was a icr brief one. Hundreds of stories could he told in a like vein They nil amount to tho same thing.

THE WRINKLE PROBLEM. Vexing Ur*9 In the Face Due t c Many Causes and an Index of Character—The Finger Tips otter Will Smooth Them Out—Sun ant Wind Made Wrinkles. The wrinkle problem Is the most serious one a woman ever has t 0 solve in taking care of her k „oq looks. Even the weight question | ? simple compared to It. for whereas 3 woman can always control her pounds It is not always that she can subdue her wrinkles. Wrinkles come into a woman's far* *t varying times in her life. There are children who show wrinkles between the eyes. These are ai mo ,[ always due to defective eyesight, ami if the eyes are properly attended , 0 the wrinkles will go. Wrinkles can frequently be counted in the forehead of a girl of 18 and the debutaute when she stands by the side of her mother shaking hands may have wrinkles travelling across her brow. These are the questioning wrinkles, the lines that corne from peering into the future. At 25 most women have wrinkles; at 30 almost all women have them At 4D wrinkles may be said to be universal, and it is not until she has passed the 40 mark and begins to long to 1(H)k young again that the average woman realizes that It is the wrinkles that make her look old. There are smiling wrinkles and wrinkles of character and beauty, so it is said, but no one believes it. in the eyes of the world all wrinkle* are ugly. AVrinkles come In the forehead from various causes. One of these ij tight shoes. Put on a shoe a number too short or a letter too narrow and Hie forehead will begin to wrinkle. Tight shoes are responsible for the set lines around the mouth as well as for the deep wrinkles between the eyes. The woman who has Indigestion will have sacs under her eyes and little furrows at tho corners The woman whose head aches all the time will have furrows stretching upi uj from the corners of her mouth to her ears. 7hen there are tho lines that run up and down between the eyes. The o lines are caused by disappointmen , bad temper and all the other disagreeable things. The forehead is a great Index to character. If your forehead !s furrowed it is pretty .-i r e to say that your disposition Is furrowed also. There are wrlnlfles that are very deep but can be taken out easily Sun wrinkles, which are caused by a drive in the sun without suiialil•• protection, cun be taken out in a night. The same is true of wind wrinkles, blown into the face on a rough day. They can be taken nut with the ringer tips and massage cream. There is a woman whose sk : n is pink us a rose leaf and as thin as paper. It is always out of repair, for the reason I hat it Is so delicate. Yet she coaches, drives, walks, golt's and does other athletic things without regard to her skin, because she know* she can easily cure It. Her greatest remedy is cream of milk. When she comes hack at night from an outing she has brought to Tier a howl of real cream. M' h tt • re a basin of hot water and a Intle soft white facial scrubbing hr .li. With these the woman repniis her damaged skin. With the hot water she daubs ucr face, putting it on gently with Hie brush. She does not scrub, but applies the lw>t water, lelting it -' off her face Into the basin. Sh tliu* heats her skin thoroughly. Next comes the application of cream. Taking a palmful of it let spats It on her face until her warm skin is covered with It. She now lie* back upon the cushions to let Hie cream dry oa the face. It take* about three minutes. She applies more cream, Ihis litis massaging it in and particularly going over the wrinkles which looked •o deep and menacing, it Is the wqrk of perhaps ten minutes all l*>D but it is pleasant and cooling and the results are satisfactory. Finally the cream is lightly ti'i l ,| - off with tho hot water, and then ii" r face Is ready for its cloud of p i ■ b-r. If a wrinkle temalns In the forehead or around the month It geis mio 1 r dose of cream, and the finger til* travel gently ov'-r It, sending U ' cream Into the countenance. By d |H ‘ ner time her faro is clear and riii"' ; h tint a wrinkle remains. The wrin^Ira that run around t e mouth un* of an entirely different nature. They are Hie wriukl " verv likely of age, aqd it is more ditfi- d to take them awny. Tltei * n .u k* > be Heated over night. The woman with these lines around the month and perhaps a netwoiK extending up to the top of the It;! st go to work upon tiu r.i v .tk diligence. Niftl't is the time nm* H beat Lour Is the retiring hour. Tiie secret lie* in rubbing ,:i e wrinkles In the right wav. n '" skin Is Ilka fur to a certain extciit. for Hv'-re Is a right way to rll ‘ ) 11 1 a wrong w'liy.
