 If beeswax is applied hot, or if the rim is heated before the beeSWaX is rubbed over the surface, it will serve as an antitrust coating, nor will the
 beeswax attack the fabric or the rub
 Der compound of which tires are made
 In the application of the beeswax it is
 not necessary to remove absolutely
 all the rust from the rim All that
 is necessary is to scrape the rim so
 that it will present a smooth surface
 for the tire to contact with.
 When the body is out of style, the
 automobile is out of vogue; the only
 way to take advantage of the further
 service which the automobile may be capable of rendering is to build a new
 body and substitute it for the one
 which is at the bottom of the trouble. It is a dangerous undertaking to build
 a new body for a given make and model of automobile without first
 drawing the body to scale, making sure that it will fit on the particular automobile for which it is to be made.
 As the result of farmers buying automobiles and using them for trips about their farms and to town, more than 10000 licenses for cars have been issued in Minnesota this year. Ac- cording to estimates made in the of- flee of Julius Schmahl, Secretary of State, at St. Paul, more than s10,OOO,- 00G is invested in automobiles in the State. On May 1. 1910, the total num- Der. of automobiles in the State was 7,374. Since then over 5000 additional machines have been licensed The cost of a State license in Minnesota is S1.50. It is generally understood that the next session of the Legisla- ture will increase this to s5 or $1O, as charged in most other States.
 A new accumulator which has nev- CT been charged nor filled with acid may be safely stored if it be wrapped up, and kept in a dark dry place. One which has been charged and which it is desired to store without use for an indefinite period should be cou- pied up to a lamp of the voltage of the complete accumulation and dis charged until each tYovolt cell reg be drained off to the last drop, and the accumulation stored as with new and unchanged one mentioned above The slight sulphate which may be formed when the cell is drying need not be a cause for worry for it will disappear at the first charge at some subsequent period.
 It frequently happens that horn becomes dented. To restore it to it's normal shape it is usually sent to a musical instrument maker or to the manufacturer of the horn, which is not only expensive but also involves considerable loss of time. By the fol- lowing method dents can be removed from the "bell'' of horn in the ga rage or at home. The materials nec- essary are a length of strong half inch wire. solder blow torch and wise. The wire is bent into a loop of about the size of the dented DOT tion at one: end and is then soldered ter the .dented portion. The. wire is then 3gripped in a wise or wrapped | around another piece, to prevent the 1 wire running through the jaws of the | wise. The horn is nov grasped with | both hands, and a series of gentle l pulls in the direction of the arrow | will bring the bell to it's original con- tour. The solder is then melted with | the blow torch. when the wire loop comes away, and the operation is fin ished, except for polishing.
