SMELL Is REMOVED
Surgical Operation Removes
the Perfumery From
These Rodent Killers.

Skunks-the regular odoriferous
kind--are employed at the city prison
for the purpose of keeping the place
sanitary. A surgical operation, how.
ever, has removed the distinctive
power Of these animals to use their
wonderful odor-making organs. They
are the best rat killers In the world,
according to Forrest N. Burns, Tulsa
chief OF police. The rodents are
killed by having their throats cut,
the skunks seeking only the blood
which Is sucked out.
Besides the skunks which are thor
oughly domesticated the chief has
provided the prison with several
large tom cats, assistants of the
skunks But both together the felines
make mice and rats in the city prison
as scarce as hens teeth.

THE WAR ADVERTISES THE
VALUE OF THE MOTOR TRUCK

After years Of steady work the motor
truck has come into its own. and the
delegates at the great commercial We
hicle convention of the National Auto
mobile chamber Of commerce held in
Detroit predicted that every maker ef
commercial vehicles would be even
buster than the pleasure car makers Of
Detroit within a year.
True, thaFmany Of the leading motor
truck makers are working night and
day now to supply trucks for the var
ring nations OF Europe, but that is not
enduring business, although beneficial
TO the entire motor truck Industry, the
war in Europe having demonstrated the
motor trucks usefulness as nothing
else could have done Many motor truck
makers are not endeavorinR to secure
large foreign orders. believing that the
domestic trade is being overlooked By
many.
The contention is well taken. for sue
cess in Europe has been OF such mo-
ment in the advertising Of the motor
truck industry in general that Ameri-
can business men have given more at
teention TO the installation OF motor
truck service, and the consequent de-
mand has been felt by those able to
supply the demand in the United States
and in countries not engaged in war

ABUSE OF BATTERY
OFTEN THE CASE

A local battery man says that one
OF the most frequent causes Of dissatis-
faction on the part Of owners Of cleo
trically- equipped cars IS insufficient
charging of their storage batteries
As a rule the owner has no idea OF
the long time it takes to recharge a
battery that has begun to run down.
He is susually in a hurry, and wants
to get his battery right back as quickly
as possible. with as a matter Of fact
he should leave il at the charging
station for at least two days.
If the battery man gives in, and lets
him take his battery, after it has been
boosted on the line for only a few
hours, it will apparently have consid-
cradle kick. but this is not permanent,
and it will very quickly go dead again,
as the saying is The owner is nat
urally very dissatisfied and often seri-
Gus injury is done to his battery.
Another thing 10 bring TO the mind
of the car owners is about every nine
months. or enc year, he can prolong
the life Of his battery, and get better
satisfaction out Of IT, By having II
washed out and new insulaters and
separatOrs put in.

4 GOOD REMEDY
FOR BL0W0UTS
How to Repair Casing; Use
Wire Belt Lacing to Sew
Up Torn Place in Tire.

Charles Vivief, an Arcadia reader OF
the Los Angeles Times, sends in the
following remedy for tires which have
suffered from DlOWOuts:
An motorists know that among the
many forms Of tire trouble the blowout
is the most seFious; the inner patch
or the inner lining do not help the
trouble a very long time; only a costly
Tulcanlzing Job ean make the injured
casing again fairly serviceable.
A rapid and veby economical way to
repair a blowout consists in simply
lacing up the injured part with ordi-
nary wire belt lafing. A good repair
job can easily be done in about Is or
20 minutes, proceeding as follows;
First, cut away the, loose rubber around
the blowout so YOU can extend the
lacing one inch or 80 beyond each ex-
trcmity Of the ''woGnd." Second, with
a stout hat pin, or a sharp nail. punch
a sufficient number Of holes around
the edges Of the cut, being careful to
get them equisdistank yet not too close
together. Next, lace up the cut with
the wire lacing, just like you would
lace your shoe. but be careful to equal
ize as much as possible the tension Of
the wire strands A double row Of
wire lacing Zone over the other) will
be much stronger than a single one.
Finally, place a piece Of canvas or card
board or leather. inside OF casing, over
the laced part so the inner tube can
not be injured You have then a re-
paired tire that you can depend upon
for a good many miles. The writer got
recently 1900 additional miles with a
repair as explained above, out Of a
blowout 36X4 IL casing that had al
ready $500 miles to its credit.
II is essential that the wire Iacing
employed should be OF the best wire
lacing obtainable. which has not only
an enormous tensile strength. but
which possesses also a remarkable
amount Of resistance TO torsion AMI

Some Famous Highways of

OF a Correspondent.

Golden Smith, war correspondent OF
