RULES TO GOVERN BUILDING GARAGE

Conform to Architectural Lines of Surroundings, Structures, and Materials. FIGURE FOR TWO MACHINES Value of Etate Is Increased and Will Give Owner Less Trouble In Every Way Installation of Equipment Important. The same fundamental rules govern the building of a garage that apply to the building of a house. Care must be taken to see that the style of structure conforms with the architectural lines of surrounding buildings and that the materials used are not In too great contrast with the house. It is advisable when building a garage to figure on accommodations for at least two machines. The additional cost of making a slightly larger building Is but a small proportion of the cost of a one-car garage, and when one considers (hat the investment value is doubled, the added initial expenditure is well worth while. At the prevailing rental rates and the big demand for automobile space In all builtup sections, the larger garage can be erected as n good paying investment. Escentlala In Construction. Good workmanship and materials are just as essential in the building of a garage as In the construction of the house. A good garage Increases the value of an estate and will give the owner less trouble In every way. A concrete floor will be found more serviceable than a wooden one and i 11 enhance the appearance of the b ldlng. The Installation of the garage equipment Is of the utmost importance and should be attended to under the direct supervision of the owner. It is a good plan to sheathe the inside of the walls and ceiling as a means to conserve the heat, and the economy efTected by the double w.-ill. will probably equal the additional cost In one season. A pit of sufllclent dimensions to allow a person to crawl into should be constructed. This device will permit the ownor to lie underneath his car and enable him to make any adjustments necessary. The installation of a drain at the bottom of the pit Is very convenient. Water connections are desirable In the garage, as water Is needed for many purposes. It is convenient for filling radiators, washing the car and keeping the floor clean. The connections with the house system would cost but little more as a rule than direct connection with the street system and the advantages of hot and cold water more than offset the extra outlay involved. Use Electric Lights. Electric lights should bo installed in the garage If possible. Electricity eliminates danger of explosion from gasoline fumes and extensions may be carried to any part of the building. A permanent bulb is necessary over the work benrli while the trouble lamp with an extended cord can be used un der the cars and In shaded corners. An economical device which is worthy of consideration is the underground gasoline tank. This may be placed outside the building with a pipe running underground into the garage. The underground style of tank stores the gasoline away from the building and insures its safety from ignition. It also enables the owner to purchase his gasoline in large quantities with the advantage of wholesale prices. The work bench Is nn Indispensable fixture in a garage and should be constructed to allow plenty of working space. A good sized bench for the average garage is six feet long and a foot wide. The front board of the bench proper may be made of a 2 by S plank, which will permit tin? placing cf a vise and enable it to stand the j pounding that is often necessary. Cross braces on the legs will support a shelf for the storage of materials and tools. Auto Alarm Whistle. An automobile alarm whistle to be connected to the cylinders of a car can be made to utilize the full force of their explosions when desired. SELLING TICKETS FOR

YELLOW GASOLINE IN FAVOR

Supply Might Be Increased If MotorIst Realized Their Prejudice Was Unwarranted. If motorists realized that their preju dice against yellowish gasoline was unwarranted the gasoline supply might be Increased considerably. In the early days of the oil Industry poor refining methods were responsible for the production of yellowish kerosenes and gasolines, which were sometimes dangerous. Another handicap, according to petroleum experts, is the necessity for refiners treating gasoline with sulphuric acid and caustic soda to remove unsaturated hydrocarbons, which have a high fuel value in an explosion engine.. It Is estimated that there Is a loss of $10,000,000 a year in the United States through these prejudices, represented by 30,000,000 gallons of gasoline, 35,000 tons of sulphuric acid and 3,500 tons of caustic soda. REPLACE BEARING ON WHEEL Best Way to Accomplish Task Is to Slip Short Length of Pipe Over the Spindle. In replacing a bearing on a front wheel spindle for which It Is a tight fit, the car owner sometimes slips the bearing on the taper end of the spindle and then uses the wheel as a hammer to force It home, wheel antl bearing sliding into position of the spindle at the same time. This Is poor business, as the strain on the bearing may break the hardened shoulder of the Inner race, which Is mount to withstand wear, but not shocks of this kind. The best way of accomplishing this work Is to slip u short length of pipe over the spindle, the inner' end rusting against the Inner race of the bearing. By hammering the outer end of the pipe carefully, the bearing will slip Into place without trouble. METHOD FOR HOLDING AXLES Device Outlined for Holding Wheel Firmly in Position Use Care in Hauling Car. Here is a method for holding a broken rear axle in place. It consists of a board about six feet long, about one inch thick, and about six Inches wide. A hole should bo bored In the center of sulllcient diameter to allow the hub When Rear Axle Breaks. cap to rest In It. The front end of this board is fastened to the running board, and the rear end Is fastened to the spring. The wire on the running board flwMill hn fncfnnnfl Hirniifh tho bolt" j k from mm.. ring the fender. Tills device will hold the wheel firmly in place, although care should be taken in hauling in the car. !N FITTING BALL BEARINGS Outer Race Should Form Sucking Fit With Its Housing Stresses Are Thus Distributed. In fitting ball bearings the outer race should form a sucking fit with its housing. This means that it should just be free enough so that shaft rotation will cause the race to slip around intermittently. A press fit should never be permitted and it is equally bad to fly to Uie other extreme and get too loose a fit. With a sucking fit the outer race can at times slip around and in this way the stresses are distributed and do not fall always on the same point. Overlook Own Wheels. Despite the criticism of the average owner as to the condition of the wheels of the car ahead, few indeed take the trouble to make the inspection of the wheels of their own cars. WOMEN'S HOSPITAL

ONE PIECE SLIPS

Directoire Frocks Look as Though Grafted on Egyptian. Girdled High Under the Bust, Having Short Sleeves and a Slight Round Neck Short Hair. In the reaction toward the directoire, which has come about through the in fluence of many designers, there Is a return to the classicism that was insisted upon by Mmc. Taillen and Josephine In the days of the directoire. You remember, recalls a fashion correspondent, that these two women established simplicity and, history says, semlnudlty, as n protest to the extraordinary frivolity of the gowns of Marie Antoinette. Our fashionable women have already adopted the short hair which these Frock of printed chiffon, with sliver fringe at hem of skirt and chiffon silver scarf, adapted from gowns worn when Napoleon was fighting In Italy. High coiffure has also returned. two brought into fashion in France, and which was called the "coiffure a la victime." Today the hair is worn pulled up on top of the head, some times ending In a mass of ringlets, as was the fashion of the directoire, when the short locks were considered a badge of honor. These directoire frocks aro one-pieco slips, girdled high under the bust, with short sleeves and a slight round neck. Callot makes them to look as though they were directoire grafted on Egyptian a curious combination indeed. TABLE OF FASHION HINTS Little Things Which Put a Costume in Mode and Aid in Keeping Women Dressed Up-to-Date. Gray is a favorite shade. Waistlines aro never in the same place. Sleeveless coats are made with capes. Yellow is a shade fancied by Paris. Mushroom sailor hats are with us again. Ivory white beads make a pretty girdle. Gray and yellow make a pretty combination. Small poke-shaped hats are worn. Satin is used for dresses, suits and hats. Kilted plaids are much in favor for skirts. Wool embroideries are more than ever used. There must be a note of contrast in the dress. Flag blue is combined with gray and chamois. Sashes are tied at one side under the left arm. The slip-on coat is one that Paris is very fond of. Wool hop sacking is to bo used for motor wraps. Printed silk voile is used for some of the spring blouses, x Pointed trains are a feature of the new evening gowns. Drawn-work will be a feature of summer dresses. SHOULD SPONGE WOOLENS Treatment of Material Before Being Made Up Will Prevent Its Shrinking and Water Spotting. Woolen materials should be sponged before being made up in order to avoid shrinkage and water spotting. Lay the material on a. table that has been padded arid covered smoothly with a cloth that is free from lint. Cover the woolen material with a wet cloth and press with a fairly hot iron until the cloth is almost dry, when it should be removed and the woolen itself pressed until it is dry. In pressing, the iron should be lifted and placed rather than pushed along. If the material to be sponged has a nap, the pressing should be done with the nap. If double width material is to be sponged, it may be left folded, right side in. The wet cloth on one side is sufficient to stem both thicknesses, but both sides sjiould be pressed in order to insure dryness. Bordered Voiles. Yellow voile with a border design done in raised dots makes a very effective afternoon frock for summer.

WAR TOUCHES IN FASHION Conservation of Wool Noted In New French Chiffon Blouses: Some Still Show Woolen Trimmings,

Some of the new French chiffon blouses show embroidery with colored string. The idea Is to save the woolwe had actually become used to tho combination of heavy "wool embroidery on the flimsiest of chiffon and instead of going about it with a killjoy manner, as we are apt to go ahead with our own effects to economize in dressing, the French have achieved a distinct triumph in this string embroidery, states a fashion writer. Some blouses still show woolen trimming. Knitted collars and cuffs on chiffon blouses for some reason acquired a distinct vogue, and they are still in favor and will be in spite of warmer days to come. They were first seen in expensive imported blouses, but clever women soon saw that they could fashion these cuffs and collars themselves with knitting needles and wool and either make a simple chiffon blouse to attach them to or get a home dressmaker to fashion tho blouse for them at considerable saving of cost. And this wool collar and cuff set need not be unpatriotic it need not uso wool that might be used for soldiers for there is In almost every wom an's knitting bag enough dainty wool left over from a sweater with which to make these colorful accessories. Who ever heard of wooden laralieros? But If wo can wear bciids made from scaling wax and feel ourselves as well dressed as though wo had emeralds and diamonds, why not jewelry of wood? Some of It is made by wounded French and English soldierswhoso taste in such matters is extremely good and part of the profit In the sales goes to them. So wo aro, in a measure, patriotic, besides, undoubtedly, in fashion when wo wear these trifles of wooden jewelry. NEW CLOTHES. AND ECONOMY Gossip as to Styles, Conversation and War Provides Problems Which Have Not Been Solved. Gathering up all the reins of dlr.cussion into one hand, It would seem that the spring will have a variety of prob lems, mostly interesting. The clothes from France demand alteration or else new purchases. One side of patriotism demands that worn on spend what they can afford so that others may live; another sort of pa triotlsm believes in saving every cent to give to war relief work ; and others believe in being merely fashionable and following the trend of their espe clal set or neighborhood. The mor chants aro arguing, tho dressmakers are talking, the publicists are speaking about clothes; the council of defense is advising this way and that; bodies of women are coming out with new creeds concerning conversation and standardization of clothes and so" there's a merry, merry to do about it all. News and gossip and discussion of clothes whistle down every wind. It is an interesting time not only for the merchants, but for the public. COAT FOR SPRING WEAR Styles come and go, but the cloths used in making them stay pretty near the same. Corduroy always has been the practical cloth for a spring coat, for it gives just the quantity of warmth that is needed for spring days when sunshine is mixed vith breezes. Styles in using corduroy have changed greatIy, but corduroy is still used. The color, too, has changed for the better, for this jade corduroy makes a very pretty effect and with its dainty style, the coat is well-nigh perfect. The collar is of tan velours. The belt on the coat, fastened in front with three buttons, is the only slight suggestion of fanciful style. Colored Neckwear. The fad for rose-colored neckwear and for that of French blue is being seriously menaced by the advance of certain collars and cuffs made of canary-colored satin and organdie.

t n a Greetings. On New Year's eve in a Yorkshire town two men were carried to the hospital victims of an explosion. One had the misfortune to have his nasal organ blown off ; the other had lost one of his ears. The two men were placed in adjacent beds, and in the morning the one minus his nose shouted to his neighbor : "Happy New Year to thee, mate!" "Happy new nose to thee, and mind thine own business," growled the other. Occasionally a fellow may adopt a good gas mask by closing his mouth. The child who cries for cake may live to cry for bread.
