To Keep Bacon From Curling.

"But bacon curls up so when it Is
sliced very thin" protested a young
cook when the family objected to
thick slices of bacon. The way to
avoid that annoying curling is to have
the frying pan very hot and turn the
slices before the meat sears on the
under side and begins to curl. BY con-
slant attention and turning the thin
nest slices can be broiled brown, crisp

Good Reason for Selma.

A ~well-known lawyer had a horse
that always stopped and refused to
cross the bridge leading out of the
city. No whipping, no urging, would
induce him to cross without stopping.
So he advertised him:
ITO be sold, for no other reason
than that the owner wants to go out
of town"

SHOULD KNOW HIS CAR
SENSIBLE DRIVER MUST MASTER
MOTOR, SAYS EXPERT.
Even Where Chauffeur Is Regularly
Employed, Owner Ought to Be Fa-
miiar With Mechanism.

1t is not expected that every owner
of an automobile will master his car
The owner with chauffeur rarely
bothers with mechanical matters until
time when maintenance charges be-
come alarmingly high and he insti,
tutes Investigations and gets inter
ested.
On the other hand the man who
makes a pretense at driving his own
car and caring for 1t, outside of the
simple garaging and washing, Is max
ing serious error if he aims at go
ing as long as possible without get
ting down to business and studying
matters first hand. He is like the os
trich that buries its head in the sand TO
avoid being seen by the hunter He
Is travelling to certain trouble. The
very ignorance he is developing is the
surest path to trouble. Instead of the
delicate ear that discerns trouble. he
is cultivating the ear that hears not
Instead of the sensitive touch, he is
benumbfng his sense Of touch. In a
word, he is about as good an enemy
to his car as possible. .,-
Perhaps the greatest error to which
such a driver falls victim is that OF
the incompetent repairman. Being ig.
norant himself Of all car technicali-
ties, he is the more inclined to put I'M
plicit trust in any repairman. He
looks upon them all as superior NOR
tails, endowed with mystical some
thing that other less fortunate human
tiles cannot become poss essed of. In
proportion as he bestows such faith
Is he certain to pay for it.
Often the repairman knows about
as little about the machine as the own
er. perhaps great deal less. If the own.
er possessed even a smattering of the
elements of the car he would be in a
position to judge if the job was being
gone at in the proper way. He would
be able to detect the ignorant incom-
petent workmen from the expert He
would know, at least, if job were
completed. With the sane-car and the
sane-driver movement progressing as
it is today, it is more and more i'm.
portant that the private owner who
wants to live and enjoy his car begin
the mastery OF it.

Attention to Grease Cups an Economy.

Attention to Grease Cups an Economy.
Fill the grease cups of your car
before you wash it.
This is precaution that should al
ways be taken in order to keep dirt
out of the joints, according to Chief
Engineer Goodspeed, of the Moon
Motor Car company. &
Dust and dirt will work into the
joints when you run your car, Good
speed says, and will be forced stin
further in when the force OF the wa
ter is put behind it in cleaning the car.
BY filling the grease cups before
washing, the dust and dirt is not only
forced out, but the Joints being filled
with grease. other dirt cannot be
forced in.
Automobile owners should watch
their grease cups carefully and give
them regular attention. The springs
should be given special attention be-
cause they will develop a rattle Il

BY WIN. NELSON TAFT.
Staff Correspondent Of the Interna-
tionaI News Service at the
White House,

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13.-
Huerta must go. President Wilson is
determined that the dictator must be
eliminated from the Mexican situation.
He has taken that position ever since
the Mexican crisis arose and his opin-
ion has been strengthened when it be-
came known today as a result of the
information given him by Charge
Daffaires O'Shaughnessy at their con-
ference last night.
The opinion held at the White
House now is that Huerta, sorely
pressed by Villa on the north and
Zapata on the south, is anxious to
bring about Intervention by the United
States in such a way as to "get out
from under" President Wilson is as
strongly determined that there shall
be no Intervention.
The doom of mediation in the Mex
ican troubles was a step nearer today
This was the accepted view in diplo-
matte circles following the demand Of
President Huerta that the American
forces vacate Lobos Island and the an
nouncement by Secretary Bryan that
the forces would stay on the island
The secretary tod the mediators that
this government did not consider this
an act Of war.
Menace Peace Outlook.
This incident stood out as the chief
menace to peace between the United
States and Huerta, although the med
lators declined to say whether
