"A box of heavy wire hairpins and one of th invisible variety are hurprising ns.-.-t In minor emergencies," s.ijs a writer in October Mott r. "Vliey -om in th most con-veni-nt lencths, are adantal b and easily app!i-d. n. e ssit.iting nothing but a pair of pl'trs and a little ingenuity. "No fan belt Is immun to wear. It may break at almost any time. A wire hairpin may b- easily threaded through the l. atb.r vm though the break corn s where hob s haven't hen 1 f t by süb b. s. Should your awl be in the b pths of your tool bor, your hatpin may be used for making hobs through the bltlnr befor' fastening with the hairrin. "Any shoe is likely to become pitted with many litt!- cu's. Naturally dust, sand and even fine ston. s nt r. Tho curved end of the hairpin Is entirely efficient In removing these foreign subst.tnees. When you get ready to Ml in the f,:ts with tiredough, the hairpin i-; far more efficient then the screwdriver for plugging: the ti-.i-st tire wounds. Should any oil h b become clogged by dust or dirt, the hairpin a:a!n may he ued in the imise of an awl. "Wires are actually sensitive to wear. When any metal cahlo becomes worn, instant rewinding Is necessary or a short circuit may rerult. The i;r,o wire hairpin.-. !f wound tlchtly, make- Jin excellent broken cable reinfrcer.

Inadequato provision for sr.ow- removal in the United States last year caused an economic loss of $500.0 0 0,000. In New York City alone, tho loss amounted to $80, 000,000. Practically all this loss could have been prevented If proper steps had been taken by highway departments to build up a system which could removo tho snow as It fell. Tho annual exodus of winter vacationists to the playgrounds of Florida and California has started. Thousands ar leaving tho "cold lands" each week. A large proportion of them are going In automobiles, taking advantage of the presnt tine weather and good roads. They will reach the land of tunshlno and flowers Just about the tinio winter i.-ts In up nortn. Up In Manitoba, motorists are trying to get a law passed requiring sleighs to have runners four feet eight Inches apart, tho same ns the wheel spread of an automobile. The motorists ray that If sleigh runners were this far apart, autos: could run In their tracks when snow covers tho highways. As it Is now, the auto wheels and four Inches outsldo the charmed area of beaten down snow. An auto dealer In Atlanta recently drew hundreds of curious souls to his display rooms by extensively advertising a "drlverless car." It wasn't a fake. He actually had a car In his showroom running round and round In a small circle without anyone guiding it. The steering wheel was locked and tho engine slowed down to three miles nn nour. It was a good advertising stunt. Nelson J. McKenna, special "chic pride Investigator" of tho San Fernando chamber of commerce, Calif., is a quite unusual traveler. A year ago he left San Fernando with $25, determined to go to Philadelphia and back without "begging, borrowing, or stealing" on the way. When times ar good. McKenna rides on trains, but when money's scarce, as it usually is, he walks or depends on He's now on his way back home. Tho American Ked Cross has about 300 motor vehicles of all kinds operating in places in Furope and Asia wohere relief work is still going on. More than a half million tons of supplies have been carried In them during the past six months. With thir assistance, destlturo families aro being supplied who otherwise would starve.
