An Appeal for More Than a Million
Once Happy but Now Wrecked and
Helpless Women and Children.
To the People of South Carolina:
In asking your paper to present to
you this appeal in the name Of human
ity from the American Red Cross |
shall be brief and not oVertaX your pa
tience.
There is suffering and distress pre-
vailing in Europe today the magnitude
and depths of which never entered the
mind of man. The victims now from
conservative investigation have reach
ed the appalling number of one mil
lion fatherless children, and one hum
dred thousand widows. Think Of 1t in
the fear Of God. These an independent
citizenship having had all the comforts
and conveniences of life living in hap
DIV homes and in charity with all the
world.
A war for which no one can give a
reasonable cause came upon them like
thunderbOlt from clear sky inVolV-
ing two thirds of the nations of the
earth.
Those prosperous people living in
the section of the war zone that has
become the theatre of the most bloody,
merciless war that has ever Dlackened
the story of civilization have met with
reverses and barbarities that reach
Satanic cruelty.
Their crops have been destroyed,
their houses ruined and burned--their
all gone-their all gOne-thiS is no ov-
erdrawn picture, it is almost beyond
our imagination. Shelterless, clothe-
less, provisionless, in diSmay, hopeless,
not knowing where to turn, with no
eye to pity. and no arm to save.
My friends and fellow citizens think
of the situation and take it in if you
can. We plead and pray that your
hearts may be touched and your pock-
ct books opened.
Don't treat this petition with indiif-
erence 1t comes to each and every
one of you as a message from above.
He that hath this worlds goods and
seeth his brother in need and shutteth
up his bowels of compassion from him
how dwelleth the love of God in him.
Send your contributions to the un-
dersigned, they will be most welcome
and promptly acknowledged and
handled.
In all modesty and esteem, | beg
leave to remain,

Preserve Car Body.

For the particular man, one of the
most trying things is to have the body
work of his car get shabby. The fol.
lowing mixture makes an excellent
"restorer" for the body work: One
pint of turpentine, one pint Of wood al
cohol, one quart of distilled or rain
water, one quart of kerosene oil. Mix
the alcohol and turpentine together,
then mix the water and kerosene oil
together. In order to defy the old
adage about oil and water not mix
ing, it is necessary to place the kero-
'sene and water in a gallon jar and
shake briskly until they mix, then add
the alcohol and turpehtine, which
have been previously mixed, and
shake the whole until thoroughly mix.
ed. The mixture is apt to separate
after standing, but can always be
brought together again by brisk shak-
ing. The mixture should be applied
to the body work with the soft side
of flannel cloth and polished with a
dry one.

your car as you would an expensive

no matter how experienced you may

THE idea that there is no particu-

NEED A REGULATING VALVE
Use of Water With Gasoline Means Q
Considerable Saving Of Fuel to
the Auto Owner.

With the exhaust gas heater some
form of regulating valve should be
used and few cross partitions in the
inlet pipe at the point where the heat
is applied help heat the center of the
column of the entering mixture. Case
line will stand about eighty-five pounds
compression without pre-ignition.
Kerosene, however, will not stand over
seventy pounds unless small quantity
of water Is taken into the cylinder
with each charge. The customary man.
ner of doing this is to employ either
separate small carburetor for the
water or small valve attached to the
regular carburetor. In few engines
the water is injected directly into the
cylinder
The proportion of water employed
Is about one and one-half pints Of wa
ter to each gallon of kerosene. If the
water is not used when the motor has
the usual compression employed for
gasoline the motor will pre-ignite and
is very apt to burn out the connecting
rod bearings. 1t Is not generally known
that water may be used to advantage
with gasoline in about the same pro-
portion with considerable saving OF
fuel.

Without actually seeing the huge To-

for the Virginian railroad it is difficult
TO realize their colossal proportions.
Each engine, without the tender, is
about equal in weight to a couple OF
ours.
The tender weighs nearly one hun
dred tons, and carries twice the
weight of coal and nearly three times
the quantity of water that can be &C
commodated on the biggest express
tender in this country. The length OF
each engine is greater than our largest
engine and tender combined, while the
diameter of the barrel part of the
boiler is about double that of any To-
connective in use on British railroads.
The furnace measures IL feet by 8
feet, and the floor consists of bars,
forming an enormous fire-grate. The
underbody or chassis Of these locomo-
tives looks like those of two separate
engines, each having two cylinders,
with four pairs of coupled driving
