We'll, It seems to be all right, all

Let me tell you what they do. They

Strengthened around they open the cover
Of the engine and monkey with all the
contraptions inside. After they have done
this for awhile they knock off and go to
dinner. The crowd stays and watches for
them to come back.
Then they monkey with the insides OF

After a lot more cranking she begin

FAR IN THE LEAD

FAR IN THE LEAF 4
The facts of the great 800 mile automobile race on
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last August, are fam
iliar history. In this race for the Wheeler & Schebler
trophy, the most valuable prize ever offered in a similar
contest, a Jackson stock chassis was far in the lead
when the race was stopped, at the completion of 235
miles. The Jackson showed the way" to many cars
of greater rated power and much higher price, and, dur
ing the run made 100 miles in SO minutes.

Ask yourself what Is the bill of

don't overdo it.
The largest bill is for only $4,000,
and there are only two kinds of notes
that are as large-the United States

HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES REJuvE
MATED WITH LITTLE CARE.
Judicious Use Of Paint Counts for
Much In Preservation Of Furnish
inss That Have Been Allowed
to Become Worn.

Attention need hardly be called to
the amount Of preservation that may
be done by the judicious use of paint.
Many an object formerly pnpresent.
able is made good with a well-applfed
coat Of paint. .s.y. :
Kitchen chairs, laundry benches, old
tables that a coat Of varnish would
hardly improve In appearance, and
even trellises In. the flower garden.
which In a few years must be renewed
II not guarded from, the weather; all
these things and many articles of fur
niturs might easily be restored to
newness by few" Coats Of paint.
Mixed paints can be bought, and
these require no expert knowledge of
handling. After THE can is opened a
stick of durable wood about the thick
ness OF ones finget is required to stir
the mixture SO the paint and oil may
coalesce. The stirring should be done
thoroughly. ten or fifteen minutes be-
Ing necessary. = '.'.
pint Of linseed oil can easily be
used In pint of paint, and this will
make the quantity of paint applied one
quart. This does not spoil the effect
and is used when the painting Is half
done and is beginning to thicken.
Only a small quantity of linseed oil
should be added at q time. 1t does not
take long to learn when there is
enough and when 1t has been slack
ened enough. - s.,,r ..-
When the wood uses up too much of
the paint only very light coat can be
applied for the first, and when this is
perfectly dry second and third coat
can be given with satisfaction and a
saving. of paint. e..
Woods that do not take much paint
need only have two coats applied, and
this is sufficient in almost every case
where plaped wood is being painted.
All inside woodwork may be done
by the housewife, with the assistance
OF a stepladder. This painting is done
generally in white, representing old
colonial style, or in oak or mahogany.
81 All that is needed are two paint
brushes, one about 2k inches wide
and very small one. The large one
Is to go over the wide surfaces and the
small one to get into crevices or to
paint thin strips such as the middle
section Of, window sashes.
After the brushes. are used they can
be thoroughly cleaned with petroleum
and laid away for another time
