GOOD RULES FOR SUMMERTOURIST Observance Will Aid in Avoiding Road Trouble. Now that the summer touring season is here and the highways and byway* are Overrun with vacationists, tourists and others going nowhere in particular and in a big hurry to got there, let us take “count of ttock" nnd see what we. who also expett to be on the road may do to Insure our emergence front this season, still sound of wind and limb and without having accidents. Here are a f<-w suggestions in the interests of safety. 1 Be sure that your lights are adjusted properly at the start and test them frequently to see that they retnain in adjustment. 2. Be sure that your brakes are properly adjusted and test them to see If you can stop the car in the required distance for a given speed. 3. When about to execute anv movement that can possibly affect the manipulation of another car make the proper signal in a decided and distinct manner. Do this even though you don't see the other car and do not know that there is one Ln the immediate vicinity. How to Use Horn. < "Spare the horn." in d«nae traffic. Be prodigal In your use of the ' horn on mountain roads. particularly when approaching a curve where the view is obstructed. Always sound horn when about to pass a car going in the same direction. Remember that one of the "Calls of the Open Road" is the sound of the horn when used properly. 5. Do not buna up your brake linings on steep grades- you may have use for them later. Use the motor to brake the car on grades. A good thumb rule la to descend a hill in the same gear you would use in ascending it and never descend a hill with the gears in neutral. <. In loading your camping paraphernalia, be sure that the load does not extend beyond the hub cap on the left n<>r than iirehes beyond the hub cap on the right. T. In passing through streams or other bodies of water do not daahdn In high gear. Go into low gear before entering the water and remain ao until dry land has been reached. Share With Others. 8. Do not hog the road. If a person who is tn a bigger hurry than you are should come up behind you. assist him in passing, then neither you nor be wUI be worried. 9. Do not try to beat any railroad trains to crossings. No automobile has yet tried to oppose a train without coming off eecond beat. 10. Always be sure your campfire is absolutely out before leaving it. Also, be sure your cigarette, cigar, pipe ashes and matches are dead before they are thrown away. Carry in the car a small box or can of earth for extinguishing purposes. Oftentimes a tiny spark which gives no evidence of life In the tool morning will burst into flame in the noonday heat and cause Immense property damage and possible loss of life. Shellac Coating Useful to Protect Auto Bolts A thin &>ating of shellac is an effective anti-rust protection for bolts and nuts. The substance will also prevent a nnt from turning and will reduce the annoyance of loose and rattling parts. Both nut and bolt should be dipped tn thin shellac. After being put in place with the nut tightened. the bolt should have a little additional shellac applied to Its end. This treatment will not only prevent rusting, but will allow the nut to be - taken off more easily. As a general rule, it is very hard to rustproof small parts. Sometimes they are coated with grease or graphite, but this soon wears off and the rust continues to accumulate. Some forms <?f paint are frequently used, but these, too, are not permanent protection. The shellac coating is expected to overcome this, * Junk Cars Tame River Junked motor cars are being put to the new use of helping to "tame" the Missouri river st Pierre, S- D. It has been discovered that the frames of junked ears, piled one upon another wherever the channel is cutting away the bank, settle so firmly and are so Impervious to the channel stream that they stop the catting away of toe bank. Several ecore of abandoned automobiles are serving more effecUvaig Shan expensive piling.

The tube extended about *■* inch below the running board shield and was bent to come direetly above the spring shackles. Short nails were used to plug the holes between oilings.—R. CTarr. Gloucester, Mass., in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Tire Retiliency Much Increased by Invention A Hungarian inventor has perfected a new method of attaining a 400 per cent increase of resiliency in pneumatic tires without changing diameter, cross section, shape, form or general appearance. An extra cushioning effect is attained by using a double disk wheel and by converting the entire hotlow space between the two walls Into an airtight compartment which holds air under pressure as permanently in service as that accomplished by ths inner tube of the tire. Communication between the tire and the air chamber in the wheel makes the latter virtually an extension of the former tn point of cushioning effect.

AROUND THE HOME ——♦— By MARGARET BRUCE WNU Svrvtoa The Perfect Shampoo Susy sat before the mirror In her pretty apricot-and-jade negligee and heaved miserable sighs. She was drawing a comb through her thick hafr, just growing out after a long era of bobbedness, and was gloomily regarding the- comb, which held a sticky gray line of mingled soap and lint. ‘•Well. I just can’t get my hair clean. . that’s all there is to it!" she snapped. “I waslicd it and washed it, and rinsed and rinsed it. and still the soap Is tn it. and it feels absolutely horrid. I don’t see how Madame Berthe gets it so dean. I do It just the way she . d<»es. and look at It 1 I simply can't . afford to go and pay her a dollar and ’ a half every fortnight—my allowance won’t stand it!” And Susy’s'head drooped with discouragement. “Well now. I wonder If you do wash .ft just exactly as Madame Berthe does," exclaimed Aunt Susy, who was I visiting. “First of all. how many times do you put the soap on?" "Why once.” said Susy, “but I put j a whole lot on and rub it a long | time." “Well, there’s your chief trouble," soothed Aunt Susy. “Now let’s do it again, and get it clean. First of all. weTl get this pure castile soap melted down into a thick smooth I? fl Am ;F a liquid. Never rub a cake of soap on your hair—you'd never get it out. It must be poured on. Now nib it in lightly, all through. Then here's the secret. Take the bath spray, attach It to the faucet and wash every bit of that first soaping right off. You j see that only loosens the dirt, it ! doesn't “Now put on your real thorough supply of soap. Pour it on lavishly, and rub and rub. Scour ’ Rub hard —harder! See that splendid mass of soapsuds. Rub it into the ends of your hair and scrub hard. Now we are ready for the rinsing spray. Get up a strong pressure; let the water beat down on your head and fairly drive the soap out. Then If it'doesn't feel silky clean, apply another dose of soap and scrub and rinse again! “That’s the most important thing—that second or third application of. soap, after washing away the first soap and dirt. The drying is simple —rub well.with a linen towel, that doesn't leave lint, and then fan it or dry it slowly in front of the radiator. Comb it out before it is quite dry and it will not tangle. And there's a beautiful clean shining head for you :** The End Table A pretty piece of furniture, and useful, too, that has put in an appear’—ance within the c; j] ,ast f** w y ears « the little end table " which stands at the i ~ g J-l head or foot of a bls divan.

The straight side of the stand • fits perfectly the straight end of the coqch, and the curve of the outside end protects the occupants of the room from bumping into sharp corners or knocking the stand sideways in passing. Some of these stands are semi-cir-cular in shape, others have variously designed sides and front edge, but all have cut-off corners and. in general, one front supporting leg and two rear legs. While many persons like to have them match the woodwork or the rest of the furniture in the room, they may be of any wood that harmonises. as they rank with the "occasional chair" and the carved chest which are part of no set and need only harmonise in general effect.
