HELPFUL HINTS TO
MOTOR CAR OWNERS

In regrinding valves, it is advisable
t. use light spring under the valve
head, acting to raise the valve from the
seat; the valve should be worked uo
and down so as to work the abrasive
material on the seat. In grinding,
the valve should be rotated with a
reciprocating motion, not turned con-
tinually in one direction, else ridges
will be formed.

Although rarely done, it is better tc
strain lubricating oil before it is put
in the tank, not only to prevent the
clogging of oil ducts and to eliminate
the possibility Of abrasive action due to
foreign matter from getting into the
pump. Such matter may cause the
pump to stick and some part to become
broken.

Bloody Thunder graduated
From an eastern InJun college.
Graduated with high honors
And a middle-aged landlady
Who was feeling somewhat nervous,
For his board bill was unsettled
Bloody Thunder was a Choctaw.
Born and bred in Oklahoma,
And his daddy wore q blanket,
And his mother went barefooted;
They we're no mild-mannered half-br0edGs
They were Ipjun pure and simple.
With the accent on the simple.
Where the cyclone zipps unhindered.
Where the heat OF summer blisters.
Where the wintry blizzard RACES,
Where the boomer now IL booming.
Bloody Thunder spent his childhood.
Hampered by but little clothing,
Knowing not the taste of candy,
Living mighty close to nature.
When he went away to college
People shook their heads and doubted;
1T will not avail" they murmured.
They win fan to ofviifze him;
They may try to teach and train him:
They may polish and veneer him,
But when they have done youth md ham
Drifting back to Oklahoma,
Back to parching Oklahoma
HE will yield to savage yearnings
For the freedom of the prairies,
For the JOY OF shooting turkeys.
For the war paint and the feathers;
He will hate the shoes that hurt him,
He will scorn the linen collar
And renounce his silk suspenderT.
He will throw away his grammar
And forget to use a toothbrush;
He will lapse, have his brothers,
And, returning. be an Injun,
Hating cuffs and work and choosing
For his wife some red-slkinned maiden"
They were wrong; when Bloody Thundar
Had secured his education
He possessed no savage longingg;
After he had graduated
The ambitions and the manners
Of the white man he adopted;
He got soused and jumped his board bin.
And became baseball pitcher.

WAISTS AND NEW FIGURES
swirlina DraperIes From Shoulder to
Heels Are Becoming to
Fat and Lean.

AS long as we bow down to orient
ahsm we are very sure to be graceful
in clothes, because swirling draperies
from shoulder to heel are usually be-
coming to the lean and the fat, to the
tall and the short. But the orient
recks not with white starch shirt
waists and mannish coat suits As
be considered one can have as large
waist as one wishes, but when the
coat is lifted and this new oriental
skirt is attached to an American shirt
waist the combination is not pleasing
and no one knows that better than the
women who are trying to make it.
OF course, we have long since learn.
ed the art of wearing one color from
shoulder to heel, but 1t is not conven.
lent or agreeable to wear colored shirt
waists in summer, as our desires and
our climate call for thin wash fab
RIGS. Therefore If one would look well
1t seems that the coat must be retain.
ed, or one must have a figure cut ofi
in a square way that may be fashion.
able but is not graceful.
After all, 1t might be better for WON.
en- to work themselves out of this
problem and lend variety to their cos.
tunes at the same time by modifying
the waist line of those skirts which
are worn with coats and white shirt
waists. There are many ways to dc
| this.

Ornaments for the Hair.

The straight fillets so much seen
with evening dress last year are now
partially superseded by those arrang-
ed in curves which form a wavy line
upon the couture. They end in jew
eled circlets with short fringe to
match. and can be adjusted in a mo-
ment. One of the prettiest of Jew
eled bands for the hair is in a design
of wheels between two bands of
Jeweling. The whole bandeau ends
in a point at either side. It is rather
high in front, fashion which suits
the round-faced.

VOGUE FOR FIGURED WOLFE
Revival Of Old Fabric Has Been
Received Most Kindly by
the Public.

The public has taken most kindly to
this revival of very old fabric which
is now called wolfe and which is dur
able in the highest degree and al
though there have been a large num-
Der of picturesque frocks made of 1t
the newest adaptation Of 1t as a top
to a slim white skirt is interesting.
There are some women who prefer
this gown made of figured taffeta.
which in it's new weave Is soft and
supple, but it does not really give the
effect that the wolfe gives, and does
not present as much novelty.
Any girl who is to be married this
summer should have one of these
gowns in her outfit. II she does not
care to wear it as a dancing gown
she will find it admirable for informal
dinners in her own home. and especial
ly attractive as tea gown for the S
o'clock hour. She can add to 1t cap
of embroidered muslin or cluny lace,
which has a round crown to fit the
bead. tiny ruffie to hang over the
neck and back, a coronet piece in front
and wired flaps over the ears.
This is the kind of cap Mrs. Castle
wears, minus the coronet. When such
cap is trimmed with little punches
of tight rosebuds over each ear the
picturesqueness of such a costume ie
undeniable.
In these days of faneiful footwear
one can always add to the color
scheme by silk stockings and high
heeled slippers. There is no longer
any attempt to match ones shoes tc
ones gown; on the contrary, one tries
to make harmonious contrast, such
as wearing pale blue satin slippers
and stockings with a shell pink tee
gown and the other way around.

Laraer Hats Tor summer.

AS summer advances and garden
parties become. imminent, the MILL
ners begin to display larger hats. One
attractive lingerie hat was of white
Neapolitan straw covered with a
plateau of net which was tied in at
the bottom of the crown by dark-toned.
brocaded taffeta ribbon. The ends of
the ribbon crossed in the front and
were laid fiat upon the brim without
ornament. Many of the hats are low
crowned and have dropping brims.
Wreaths of tiny flowers encircle the
crown and tie in fat loops upon the
brim in front
