Hints on the Elimination Of Noises on

The parts of a motorcar IRE neces-

springs are detected or the vehicle

parts strike together and cause annoy

Sparks and throttle rods, which are
usually rather slight and springy,
sometimes jar into contact with other
parts when the car Is running over
rough roads, and the flexible shaft Of
the speedometer may swing against
the front springs or the vehicle frame
under like conditions.
All these occurrences produce rat

deadened by covering the portions Of
the parts, which strike others, with q
soft covering. Friction tape wound
around the parts is largely used. but

soaked with oil, the adhesive COM

The Vogue of the Vest.

The Vogue Of the Vest.
The boardwalk and hotel piazza
show many novel and attractive
get-ups these July days when all
the world is loafng and donning
the smartest attire. Vests, real
n,annish ones, are on the crest
of the style wave, and lend a
touch of individuality to many an
otherwise humdrum dress. They
are made of all the printed fab
rics so popular this year, but are
quite as often of striped, check
ed or plain materials. The idea
is always to wear something in
the vest that contrasts effective
ly with the suit. So popular are
vest and vest effects that the de-
mand for adjustable vests, with
or without turnover collars, and
for all sorts of empiecements of
embroidered muslin, lace or net,
that vary a plain costume effect
lively. Big turnover collars with
attached frills are the most ord
mary of these, but unless very
fine in embroidery, or made of
the most delicate silk crepe these
are no longer very good style.
Sets of wide collars and cuffs in
fine French embroidery, and col
lars finished with fichu tabs are
newer and smarter than the
frills.
