HOW TO WASH AN AUTOMOBILE.
Use Water Rather Than Pressure For
The Best Results

Carelessness in washing and pol
ishing car is responsible for great
many cars getting to look old and
run down so soon.
In washing your car be sure first
to use plenty of water and not so
much pressure. Don't rub the mud
and dirt off, but wash it off with
water.
Thoroly soften it and allow it to
soak soft before trying to remove it
at all. Do not allow anyone to rub
fingers over a surface covered with
dirt as the small dust will cut the fin
| ish.
You should have two sets of pals,
sponges and chamois for washing. 1t
is a good plan never to use the same
sponge or chamois on the body and
running gears.
Grease makes a smeary appearance
On the body and should be kept off
as much as possible.
Keep sponge and chamois clean
and free from dirt. Use a good body
soap and luke warm water for the last
wash for the body. nam.
If you can find good body polish
it is good, but never use too much
or put it on too heavy, be sure and
rub it thoroly and leave the body
free from it; or after while you
will notice it making a coating over
the body that is hard to remove.
1t is a good plan to go to the man
who sold you the car and have him
wash it and show you how to care
for it, if convenient. The nice appear
ance may be kept on a car for year
or two with proper care.
Never allow mud to dry on the
body if possible to prevent, as it will
make spots that only refinishing will
remove.

Chicken Ranches or Other Ranches
Which?

For the benefit of those who have
not been able to become sufficiently
enthused in the chicken business TO
want to work on chicken ranch,
we quote the following for their
choice:
A Swede was working his way
east from the ranches in the western
part of the Dakotas and had taken
up with a temporary job at rail
reading. The result of his physical
and civil service examination had
placed him in the track department,
where he had remained, having be-
come very much attached to his i'm
mediate superior. One morning as
the boss was trying to tighten up a
bolt, the wrench slipped and he hurt
his hand. He threw the wrench
down and remarked with some force:
"Ole, I'm going to get a monkey
wrench"
oval, Ay tank Ay quit may yob, F"
replied the faithful employee.
"Why, Ole, sou wouldn't leave
me, after all this time we have
worked together. Now, Ole, you have
been one of the best men in my
gang 1o'.
"Yas, Mester Sullivan, you bane
guide man. but Az don't want may
yob no more. You see, Ay work on
horse ranch one year and work hard.
Ay work on sheep ranch two year
and Ay work hard. Then Ay work
on COW ranch three year and run
the COWS aroun' and aroun' tell Ay
get sick. Ay lax you, Mester Sui
livan, but when you say you buy
monkey ranch, then Az don't like to
stay here any longer. Ay skall new
er work on monkey ranch"

FIVE ESCAPE IN JAIL DELIVERY
 AT FORT PAYNE

Fort Payne, August 1S- Specially prisoners made their escape from the De- Kalh county jail at this place last night Three of the prisoners, Butler, Bow man and Gilley, were in for criminal as- sault committed few weeks ago, and the judge charged the grand Jury Mon day that this was a very serious offense. as feeling was very strong against them. It is thought that they had help from outside friends to make their escape, which was done by unlocking the door from the corridor into the hall and fore ing the door leading to the thlrd-ho stairway, this being done by crow bar which was found.
 From the third floor the descent was made by means of a rope made of blank cts. Bioodhounds were brought here at once from Chattanooga and took m the trail of these three and followed them for five or six miles into tho fast ness of the mountains, where it was lost.
 Men are still out securing the county for them, and If caught care will he taken that they do not escape second time
 The other two prisoners were in on minor charges. This Is the sixth Jail de- livery made here within a few years.

FRENCH COMMENT ON
 COTTON CONTRABAND

Paris. August 1S.--t6:25 p. m.)-The Temps today examines at length the considerations which would support a declaration by Great Britain and France making cotton contraband and says such a decision would tend to limit the number of controversies, the more so since 1t involves arrangements destined to spare American cotton growers losses of nature to Justify protests
 The Journal contrasts what 1t al iudes to as the policy of Great Britain and France of avoiding in every way possible injury to neutral property and giving prompt reparation for unavoid able losses. with "thc German subma- rine war of indiscrminate destruction of commerce on the seas, involving the massacre of neutrals without warning '

 with the three members of the state of the commissioners were in Warden Smiths home the night Frank was taken away. 1t is not unusual for them to be there on Monday and Monday night as they make weekly inspections of the prison.
 Seeking Information
 The governor hopes to obtain informa- ton from the commissioners and possi- bly, some of the prison officials who were overpowered, that will lead to the Identification of some of the men. Only a part of the gang wore masks. If the Identification of any of the men is estab- lished the governor said today he would make every effort to have them arrested. Nothing was done at Marietta today in the way of an investigation The cor oner's jury, which held a brief session yesterday, adjourned until next Tuesday. Much interest attaches to what may be brought out when the jury reassembles with the special counsel provided at a meeting of the Cobb county commission- CTS yesterday. Official opinion here is that Milledgeville is the place for the investigation or at least the beginning of 1t.
 That the prison commission would not make an inquiry was further indicated today when another member, E. l.. Rainey, stated that he did not think any one connected with the prison was to blame. The prison commission has abso- lute powers in handling prison affairs and in the conference tomorrow the commits sioners will act only in an advisory ca pacity
 Stories reported as comina indirectly from linen who knew and rectlng de- tails of the actual lynching increased in number today. All except one of these statements said that Frank stated that he was not guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan. It was the similarity of the

Raesdale said no more neenses would hs given out.
 I've kept all the guards on night and day duty in the main building in which Frank was inoarcerated for several weeks" said Mr. Dawson. until they kicked so much that two of them quit and VIC were compelled to reduce the night guard to just five men.
 We had not expected an attack from the outside. but had feared harm being done Frank inside the prison.
 We had no money to employ additional guards for Franks defense. and it was simply up to the governor to furnish protection. Only the militia could have resisted Monday nights attack"
 When Governor Harris attention was called to the statement of MT. Davison. he said:
 Recently held the militia in readiness to make a hurried trip to Milledseville to protect Frank when I was in receipt of information that a mob was organizins in Marietta to go to Milledgeville.
 'The law specifics though. that the governor be notified by some of the con- stituted civil authorities of outbreaks be- fore he shall call out the militia"
 The governor added that he probably would give out "a statement tomorrow concerning the lynching and the steps being taken to arrest and convict the members of the mob. He has received u large number of letters from persons in various parts of the country urging a thorough inquiry.
 Deputy Sheriff Hicks of Cobb county where Frank was hanged. said while on a visit here today that his investigation led him to believe that the actual lynch ing was done by not more than seven or eight men who went to the scene of the crime in three automobiles
 R. E. Davison, chairman of the state prison commission. announced here today that the identity of one member Of the mob might be disclosed through pair of handcuffs which were left on the wrists of J. NJ. Burke superintendent of the prison farm. MT. Davison said they bore the serial number of the manufacturer and that he had been informed the name of the original purchaser could be ob- tained by this means.

Attacks Atlanta Mayor

San Francisco. August 1S.--Former Gov. John M Slaton of Georgia, who com muted the death sentence of Leo NJ. Frank to one of life Imprisonment, today issued statement condemning an ad- dress delivered last night by Mayor J. C. Woodward of Atlanta and terming the mayor "od and garrulous." He called the Frank case football of politics."
 Commenting on Mr. Woodward's state ment that three fourths of the people Of Georgia, including himself believed Frank guilty and eondoned the lynching, MT Slaton said
 Similar utterances made before the lNnching naturally resulted in subsequent lawlessness. In one breath he proposes to defend the fair name of Atlanta and Georgia, and in the next breath he casts on them the most terrible condemnation.
 Mayor Woodward suggested l could not with safety return to Georgia within a year. Such a statement Is not only a gross reflection on the state. but is ab- surd and ridiculous. and 1t is further stimulative of the mob impulse. coming from an official who should stand in favor of law and order. Ii is in accord ence with utterances of others who ex- pect to utilize the Frank case for political preferment.
