Demands on Driver

The life of car is entirely in the
hands of its driver. To prolong the
life of the car is or should be the OBJ
ject of every driver, and to do this
few things are SO important as the
proper manipulation of the clutch. A
clutch should engage gradually; that
is, it should not take up with a jerk,
but should impart the motion of the
motor to the car gradually, SO that
there are no undue strains upon the
driving mechanism.

Remove Rusted CASING.

Considerable hard work can be
avoided on the road if the tires are
treated occasionally with little shell
lac and graphite. Aluminium paint is
also good to prevent the bead of the
tire from rusting on the rim. 1t is
difficult matter to remove the casing
from rim when it has become rusted.

Play a Bigger Part.

So many people drift into disap-
pointment and dreariness because
they are dissatisfied with the mate
rials of life, and would like to play
a bigger part than they are entitled
to play 1t is all a deep mistake. the
worst mistake a man can make. 1t
is not the impression a man makes on
life that matters; it is the impression
which he makes upon himself-North

Kindness.

The spirit Of unwearied good will is
the great lifting power of the world
When we can do nothing else to right
wrongs, lessen burdens or mend life's
least be kind-kind in face, voice and
deed. And oh, how many dark places
would brighten, heavy loads grow light
and new courage come to the heart if
only simple kindness were the rule of
earth!

SLAUGHTER HOGS IN WINTER
Good Plan to Provide Double Hook,
Bent Into gu" Shape, to Sup
port Gambrel Stick.

Farmers use a pole to hang the
hogs on at slaughtering time in win
ter. On this pole a gambrel stick is
placed, the ends being inserted in
the hook of the animals leg. 1t is
always a hard job to do the hanging
and place the gambrel stick at the
same time, writes Leslie R. Suffer of

the piston, then rushes into the cyl
inder, filling it with fresh charge
and scavenging it of the burned gases.
A battle plate on the piston prevents
the fresh charge from streaming
across to the exhaust port and diverts
it toward the end of the cylinder,
where the spark plug is located. In
spite of this there is sure to be some
mixing of the fresh charge with the
burned gases. The objection to the
two-cycle engine as heretofore made
for driving an automobile, is that it
requires a heavy charge to work eff.
ficiently, and cannot be successfully
thrOttlnd down in the SAME fashion
as a four-cycle engine,
The purpose of the new invention
is to equip the piston so that it can
be used efficiently with small as we'll
as heavy charges. The special feature
is a pocket, cast on the piston, which
receives a small portion Of the fresh
charge and carries it direct to the
spark plug. In addition to this there
is the usual space and baffie for re-
ceiving and controlling heavy
charge, so that rapid operation with
the throttle wide open is not inter
fered with in any way. What the cup
does is to receive a small portion of
the fresh charge and prevent it from
mixing with the burned gases during
the brief interval required for bring
ing it in contact with the spark plug.

MEN AND WOMEN
To WEAR COTTON

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 20-The move
ment to use more cotton in mems and
women's wear, as strongly urged by
l.. L. Arnold, editor of the we'll known
Atlanta publication, Cotton" is at
tracing attention all over the South,
and is being taken up by number of
business organizations. Mr.. Arnold's
advice that cotton be substituted for
wool in many garments was given
hearty editorial endorsement this
week by the Atlanta Constitution,
which remarks that all Southern COM
munities should begin now to organ
ize for the era of the larger use of
cotton textiles.
Mr. Arnold calls attention to the
work Of the city of Augusta, where
cotton uniforms will be adopted for
summer wear by the street car COM
pany, following an exhibit of various
cotton uniforms on ten living models
The Augusta fire department is consid-
ering adopting cotton summer uni
forms, also, and the police force prob
ably will fall in line.
These instances, with the remark
able showing of cotton materials for
women's handsome gowns, are cited
by Mr.. Arnold, who calls attention to
the great advantage of cotton wear for
Southern climates and shows that the
use Of wooden fabrics is more habit
than because of practical Utility. That
the increased use of cotton by home
folks will do an ENORMOUS good to the
South as a whole il clearly shown by
him. He believes that if Georgia sets
the pace in this work the whole coun-
try will soon be wearing cotton in
the summer and keeping cooler and
more comfortable.

. HIGH COST OF-LIvING"
NOW GOING DOWN
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 2O.-The cost
of living, the bugaboo of the past few
years, has come down a bit, according
to the ever-busy statisticians who love
to delve into figures and facts.
By the preparation of a chart based
on the market price of twenty-five
food commodities the experts figure
that the average for the past month
was fifteen points" lower than last
September which month, by the way,
was extremely high.
A sharp decline in food prices be-
gan in April, 1913, and was, followed
by an equally sharp advance in June.
For the next thirteen months the av-
erage showed little change. The out
break of war last August sent food
prices soaring and in four weeks they
climbed to more than 81 points"
higher than in August. The figures
show that the cost of living in the past
two years was lowest in the early
summer of 1913 and highest in the
early fall of 1914. Just now the av-
erage price has dropped back within
reach of their pocketbooks, and fruit
of many kinds is ridiculously cheap.
