Don't.

DON'T forget to drain your radia'
tor. If when you bought your car the
agent neglected to show you fully how
to do it, get him to show you just how
to do it now.
DON'T leave your car standing for
any length of time on the street without
covering the hood and radiator with a
robe on a cold day. Water freezes.
DON'T forget to use some anti
freezing liquid in your radiator If you
drive in cold weather. We sell it.
DON'T forget a Storage Battery full
ly charged will not freeze in this eli
mate, but is yours fully charged? A
discharged battery will freeze just as
quickly, as water.
DON'T forget to take your Storage
Battery out of your car when you lay
it up for the winter. 1t should have
proper care and attention. Ask us
about it Now.
DON'T{put your car away all cover
ed with mud and expect the finish to be
nice when you take it out in the spring.
Wash it and apply some good Polish.
We have it.
DON'T-DON'Tp put up your car, this
fall without:having it completely gone
over, bolts frightened up, bearings in
spected and renewed where needed. In
fact: WHY NOT CALL ON US for an
estimate on overhauling your car be-
fore you store it away. It's our bust
ness. See US now.
DON'T forget to drain all of the old
oil out of your crank case and oil reser-
| ,oir. The oil has water mixed with it
which will freeze and cause you serious
damage, let alone the rusting up of all
the Iron and Steel parts.
DON'T forget your Tires, they are
RUBBER, and cold Injuries rubber. II
you must leave your tires on the car,
jack your car up taking the weight off
the tires, and be sure to let the air out
of them. Come in and ask US about
the care of your tires. If any of them
need repairing, don't put it off, have
them all fixed up NOW and they will be
ready for you when you want them.
! DON'T-DON'T forget that we do
complete overhauling Jobs and that the
time to have your work done is when
you are not using your car, and when
our shop is not crowded with work: We
can give the work more attention and
can do a..better job than when 1--we are
rushed.
]! Call US up or come in and..see US. We
have other hints that we will be glad!to

ARMOR PLANT MAY NEVER BE
BUILT-GOOD BYE, DOvERW

Washington. September 15--m spite
Of the activity displayed by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels and the members
Of the General board, who on yester-
day concluded the hearings on a site
for a Government armor plant, the
opinion is gaining ground that no such
plant may be erected at all. One Of
the first acts of a Republican Congress
probably would be to repeal the armor
plant provision of the law, and the Ad-
ministration shows no disposition to
forestall this action by Immediately
putting the terms of the bill into eff
feet. The rivalry among American
cities to furnish the site have proven
so intense as to be politically embar-
RAISING, and already the semi-official
suggestion has been advanced that uR-
der no circumstances will the selec-
ton be made before the November
elections. According to the best in
formation available. the General
boards prediction is said to be for
a site on the Great Lakes, where coal,
iron, gas and water and rail transport
tation are easily available.

verely, Friday morning at Silver
Grove, KY, when the train struck the
tender of a locomotive which was
standing on the main track in readi-
ness to haul the train to Cincinnati,
The train entered the yards at NOM
inal speed, drawn by two engines.
The locomotives are changed there
and one engine is kept at Silver
Grove for the purpose of taking on
the train to Cincinnati. The air
brakes, according to passengers, did
not work properly and the forward
locomotive Of Nie double-header
crashed into the waiting engine. The
shock was of sufficient intensity to
toss the passengers promiscuously
about Both locomotives were dam
aged. After a delay of an hour the
train proceeded to Cincinnati.
A. e. Burris of Covington, baggage
master, was slightly injured when a
trunk fell and struck him in the side.

A STATEMENT
BY the City Mission Superintendent
In Regard 10 the Work Being
Done by That Organization
In This City,

The following is a statement by
Mrs. Cora Peddlcord, Superintendent
of the City Mission, with regard to the
work being done by that organiza-
ton:
The daily work in a charity organi-
zption office, to be well done, de-
mands an intelligence that shall not
slumber, an earnestness that shall
not tire, a patience not to be over
come, a sympathy that will not suffer
itself to be chilled
And none know better than those
of us who have attempted the work
how miserably easy 1t is in these re-
spects to fail
1t seems that a few of our citizens
have the mistaken idea that all fam
lilies visited by the Superintendent of
the City Mission are receiving mater
ial aid They seem to lose sight Of
the large scope of our work. Some
days we call on from ten to fifteen
families simply as friend and no
material aid will be given. The City
Mission gives relief when absolutely
necessary, but 1t cares less for re-
lief than for cure and far less tor
cure, than for prevention. Nothing in
all this relief work, beautiful as il
Is at times so fires our imagination
or seems to us so valuable as the
preventive work which strikes at the
causes Of poverty.
Our friends will admit that pauper-
ism is contagious, that easy aid kills
character, and modern charity is laid
on constructive relief but, il places
more accent upon the spiritual side.
Faults of character are largely the
cause of poverty, but, in a charity
society there is no such a thing as an
family, though some can
not be helped wisely by material aid,
when dealing with old age, little chill
dren and sickness, the word unworthy
Ia uncharitable indeed.
We ask the help and cooperation OF
the public in helping us solve the
many problems which confront us
each day, and also, kindly call at the
City Mission and learn just what the
aid is If any that is given
any one family you may be interested
in, before criticisms are made
A social worker has problems daily
that would tax the wisdom of Solomon,
and the patience of Job.

Superintendent City Mission.

STEAL NEW TIRES
Cincinnati Times-Star)

Cincinnati Times-Star)
Reports of the theft of several au-
tomobile tires were received by New
port police. Under the glazing lights
at Sixth and Monmouth streets four
new tires, from as many automobiles
have been removed within the last few
nights. Superintendent w. P. King of
the Newport schools, with his wife
and visitors from Maysville, KY, park
ed his machine on Sixth street, 'front.'
ing a theater, while they attended the
early evening performance. A new
tire and rim, costing $35, was cut from
the rear of the car and carried away.
Three similar robberies were prev
iously reported. This is probably the
most brilliantly lighted corner in the
city.
