AUTO TROUBLES
 LACK OF CREASE
Liberal Lubrication Adds to the Life
 of Cars.

Three quarters of all the road trouble of the tourist is do to lack of proper lubdication, says Arthur Aims worth, local Chalmers representative, and it is often merely lack of lubrica- tion that makes a car grow prema- turely old.
 ''If the driver-Owner will but read his instruction book on fabrication and follow its directions to the letter, he will save himself a lot of unnecessary trouble and expense. Many motorists say Well I guess it will run another day without oiling Perhaps it will It may run another two days without a squeak. but there is just so much extra wear on the mechanism which will come to the surface sooner or later.
 Some cars are very easy to keep fabricated. For instance, the Chalmers cars for 1913 have what is known as the constant level splash system. The bottom of the crank case contains oil into which, as the crank shaft revolves. the ends of the connecting rods dip, aplashing oil over the interior of the motor, lubricating every part.
 "The level of oil in this crank is reg ulateJ by overflow holes which oper into a reservoir below. A gear pump supplies fresh oil from the reservoir to the crank case and this oil is pipel through a sight feed on the dash with in constant view of the driver.
 Tt is in hot weather that motorists have most trouble on account of insuf- ficiert fabrication. The hotter the weather. the more the car will probably be driven and attention to the oiling system must be proportiOnally in creased Also, it requires more oil for the same amount of fabrication in hot weather.
 Tn touring, the motor car will re- uuire more frequent fabrication, and a few miles of racing win use up more oil than a whole day of ordinary driving The mechanism must be oiled in direct proportion to it's use if you would pro- long the life of the car and get the maximum efficiency out of the motor q always warn the novice driver fr regard to sufficient fabrication. Ther I say to him, If your motor begins t pound or act peculiarly, don't go at t with a wrench and a hammer. See first if it is we'll fabricated.
 Generally the trouble can be traced to the 1ubdicating system, yet the ten

military activity as have marked the city for the past few days. Regiments of Khaki-cl infantry, divisions of cavalry and detachments of artillery have been marching through the streets rushing to the defense of the city, for. be it understood, New York Is in state of siege theoretically as an incident of the annual maneuvres of the regular and militia forces un- der the direction of the edpartment of war, and may be forced to capitulate any day to the attacking army that has been marching down over the Connecticut hills in an effort to cap ture the city from it's landward and least protected side. Twenty housand troops are engaged in the operations and so until the decision of the of ficial umpires is rendered will New Workers know whether the brave de- lenders of their hearthstones have triumphed. Thus far the war; has caused no serious inconvenience to residents of the metropolis since none of the besieging forces have penetrat- ed nearer than twenty miles to the city and about the only view of the operations that New Workers have had has been an occasional glimpse of members of the aviation corps skim ming along the northern horizon on reconnoitering expeditions Several thousand city work horses converted for the time being into war chargers are making the surprising discovery that there are phases of life even more strenuous than propelling a truck along the city's crowded thorough fares

The face may be the mirror of the mind, but not always; neither is the body a sure chronometer of age.
 Clifton Crawford. with the Quaker Girl company, proves it in the fol lowing anecdote on F'rohmann:
 Charles Frohmann, at dinner at the Metropolitan club in New York condemned a certain outrageously i'm modest Oriental dancer.
 |" She must have nasty mind, MT. Frohmann said, to dance like that
 Oh, don't be too hard on her, said a playwright. She may not un. derstand, you know. Consider how young she is
 I deny said Mir. Frohman, 'that she's as young as you imply; bu I'm bound to admit that, even thougl not young, she's certainly a strip ling "-Youngs Magazine.

SCENARIOS FOR THE MOVIES
Here are Sample Ideas of Whict Hundreds are Submitted Weekly.

The Undertaker's Dream is the title of an impossible scenario sub- hitter recently to the Chicago mo- ton picture house of one of the lead ing concerns.
 This is only a sample of the hun dreds of scenarios that are received each week by one Chicago company AZ average of about three in every hundred plots are acceptable. A majority of the rejected plays are too poorly written or too amateur ish to be considered. Some of the letters accompanying the manuscripts are exceedingly pathetic, while oth = CTS are amusing.
 The following paragraph taken from one scenario is sufficient evidence as to why it was rejected:
 The next beautiful scene is laid in the orchard. Mary and John are swinging in the hammock, spooning, while two little calves playing in the background add to the effect of the scene"
 Among the many impossible see narios received by one Chicago film company, perhaps the following i5 the worst:
 A lady went to a big ball. While she was dancing with a man. A gin tlemon thief crep into window and sees lovely lady a dancing. He goes away and gets him some cloths and puts them on. He goes to the beu- tifu lady. asks for the dance. she thinks he belongs to the dance and puts her name on the books. She caught love at him from first sight and went away. She telled him to come and see her. A few days later they was keeping company and ther they was married. He give her diamond ring. She done never knew he ben a gintlemon thef."
 Scenario manuscripts are received in Chicago from all parts of the world, including Germany, England Ireland and even Australia. so it is not Surprising that among so many such amazing and ridiculous contri- buttons are often received.-Chicagf Tribune

The muSicless musical comedy is an anamOly which is likely to greet visit ors to New York with a taste for talk ing in the shows along the Great White Way this winter. As a result of the demand of the musicians for an increase in rates the announcement has gone forth that in ten we'll -kown playhouses there will be no orchestras next season and others are expected to follow the same course The ab- sence of music from these houses un- doubtedly will be novelty, and as novelty is what Broadway is always looking for the move may gain the stamp of popular approval Here tofore it appears, travelling musical companies having their own musicians have carried on an average of twelve men at a weekly salary of s35 each, making the cost of the orchestra S420 Now, however, the organized pur- VeYorS of sweet sounds want each company to carry twenty-five musi- clans with salaries of $75 week thus making the cost of an orchestra $1S75 instead of s420. Under the old scale the cost of carrying an orchestra for a season of forty weeks was s16,- 800 as against $75,000 under the scale now demanded As result many theaters have decided that an or chestra at this price will be a too ex- pensive luxury. ard theatergoers this winter may be given an opportunity to get away from the ever peesent music and discover just what a the atrical entertainment without musi- cal trimmings is like

Wall street has just lost one of it's most interesting and best known char
 acters, and at the same time is minus a flourishing business. The character in question is known as Blind Charley and the business is that of begging by which he has accumulated a for
 tune of more than s100000 Kind
 hearted brokers fresh from a success ful turn in the market have been cheerful contributors to the battered tin cup of the blind beggar, and so generous have been gifts that there is apparently no reason why Blind Charley should not have run his for tune up to the half million mark if he had only used a bit of discretion. The trouble began when Charley start ed out for COney Island last week all dressed up. He looked about as much like a beggar as Andrew Carnegie or John D. Rockefeller might look if

What will probably go down in the annals of New York's professionally unemployed, otherwise the city's loaf CTS. as the most painful episode in the history of the municipality has just taken place with the pouring into the gutters of one of the streets in the heart of the city of more than 5000 gallons of wine, the blood of more than fifty million grapes. The flood which was worth at least s50.000 filled the street on it's way to the sewers while thousands of thirsty persons sighed in vain for a chance to dip up a can full of the sparkling liquid The wasted beverags, which filled many hogsheads represented the fruits of raids carried on in the Tenderloin and other districts for three months and were confiscated because various restaurant operators thought that they could do business without bothering to secure a liquor license. Loud walls were heard from the crowd as the gutter stream rose to a depth of four inches as the excise officers knocked in barrel heads and smashed bottles as fast as their arms could work, mixing old red eye along with Bene- dictine, beer with extra dry, Chianti with creme de minthe. absinthe with muscatel Even the commissioner in charge admitted that he considered the waste of so much valuable wine the next thing to a crime. but that no legal way had been devised to avoid it. It has been suggested that wine seized in this way should be given to the hospitals, but thus far no warrant in law exists for such a | course.

of the we'll A test has been made
with small centrifugal pump as to
the capacity of the well. Constant
pumping brought forth the fact that
the well had a capacity of from one
to a hundred and forty gal
Ions of water per minute without
lowering the water more than from
two to three feet. On account of a
amount of gas which
at times gathered in the pump and
formed a gas lock continuous pump

its management at the time of his
death. The remains were taken Mon

Payette Heiehts-Toksy Grapes
Do Well.

General L. V. Patch one OF the
enthusiastic boosters for Payet.s
Heights has demonstrated tie past
season a new field of activity for
growers living On the Heights. Fri
day OF last week he brought down
some Tokay grapes for the Payette
exhibit to the state fair. They were
a surprise to all who saw them. The
punches were extremely large and
the grapes well developed. The Iarg-
est bunch weighed a trifle over three
pounds and of the four or five bunch
es brought down for exhibit purpos-
es none weighed very much less
than three pounds. The General
is getting quite vineyard of those
grapes started and stated that while
those brought down Dor the exhibit
were of course the pick of the vine
yard that all of his grapes did ex-
ceedingly well and he firmly believes
that as fine Tokays can be grown
on Payette Heights as anywhere IA
the world.
