CUTTING OUT NO|SE'
Really No Necessity for Racket of Autos to Which So
 Many Object.
KEEP HOOD FROM BATTLING
Simple Method of Overcoming Trouble wni.;. :. as Annoying = n. Driver as 1t Is to the Pe- destrian Compelled to
 Listen to It.

Many of the cheaper cars develop an annoying series of noises after they have been in use for time, and most of these may be entirely elimi- mated by q little careful attention. The most common cause, outside of the mechanical depreciation. is loose ness at the hood, as this rubs against the hOod-ledge on the radiator and dash, and produces squeaking. The hood is liable to rub on the filler board between the frame and hood side, as the frame distorts due to highway irregularities, and if the hold-dOwn clips are loose. the hood will rattle.
 A very simple method of overcoming this trouble is to remove the strip of shoe-hce or light webbing ordinarily used on the hood-ledge and substitute for it good broad rawhide belt lacing. The webbing is not heavy enough to keep the hood away from the ledge and soon fiattens out. The rawhide is not only thicker and broader, but it is more enduring. In order to use the laclng, the small holes in the ledge

MonoeIonius Itself Again.

A monOclonius, only few million years old, but scrambled apart like Humpty-Dumpty, has been put togeth- CT again by Barnum Brown and mounted in the American Museum of Natural History. Mir. Brown found his three-horned dinosaur, with it's five foot skull and relatively small brain. entombed in the rocks of Alberta, Can ada, where it once had roaned througts tropical glades. Hardly piece was missing of the + feet from tip of tail to nose. But the pieces had to be sorted. This cretaceous, herb eating animal was rich in toes and teeth. In the mouth, which was guarded by q horny sheath, nestled G0 teeth, 30 in each jaw and double rooted. Five toes graced each of the front and hind feet. Many of these toes were adorned by hoofs. The specimen is considered 6 rare find.

 "Whose boy are you:" asked the baf- fled druggist. who failed to recognize the youngster.
 Why. I'm mammals boy" said he and could not be induced to tell his name.
 ''I thought I'd take chance on the kid, anyway" said Whinrey, in relat- ing the story. because I figured out that no boy of that age would ask for toothpaste unless he had been sent by an elder person. If he had asked for candy. it would have been different And sure enough, had read human na- ture correctly for two or three days later q well-dressed woman, whom had never seen before, entered the store. and approaching me, said.

Diagram Showing the Use of Rawhide
 to Prevent Hood From Battling.

strip must be enlarged, which can be done very easily by making a drill hole on each side of them and then punching out the metal with a chisel.
 Another good way to cure hood rat tie, which is unavoidable with thin gauge hoods, is 10 run trunk-strap over the hood as shown. This should have series of holes for the bucket at each end, the buckles being carried by shorter straps attached on each side of the car, so the hood can be raised on either side without entirely remov- ing the strap. The strap is guided by clips riveted tc the hood. the straps carrying the buckles being held down by clips fastened to the filler-boards. Much improvement can be made by in terposing a thin strip of rubber from an old inner tube between the hood side and filler-board as shown. The springs regularly furnished to seat the hOld-down clips can also be replaced with stronger ones.-Victor Page, in Popular Science Monthly.

PASTOR NEEDS AUTO
MATTER OF NECESSITY IN DOING
 GOOD WORK.
Vineyard is Worthy of the Utmost
 Consideration.

Rev. Charles l.. Goodall writes as follows in the Sunday School Times:
 Tt has always been my custom to lay special stress upon pastoral visita- ton, particularly in connection with revival meetings. During these serv- ices l have been overwhelmed by the number of visits which ought to be made on persons who were religiously interested. A large number of names were secured at the public meetings of those who desired to have religious conversation in their homes or places of business. With the ,ulpit prepara- ton for preaching every night it was with great difficulty, and often with a sense of absolute failure to meet the demand, that the effort was made to visit these people. Many of them were not located near the regular lines Of traffic. and 1t often happened that there was a distance of miles between calls.
 Tn the midst of these burdens 1t was a great relief when one of my parish- toners, not a member oi tine church hi, but the owner of an elegant automO- bile, said to me: I am in sympathy with your work, and perhaps can help you. 1 will put my automobile and my chauffeur at your disposal every after noon during your special meetings from two until six And, he added with a smile, perhaps the Lord will give me a little credit in the good work
 "I found the auto to be of immense value. Distance was annihilated. I no longer had to depend on electric or steam cars; was subject to no block ade by subways or elevated. The physical relief was great. While one still had to climb the stairs and walk more or less to nearby places, the long walks, consuming time and energy, were eliminated. It was easy to make 20 or more calls in an afternoon.
 Tn this way hundreds of calls were made during the month, and the result was wonder to the entire community when members were received into the church at the close of the meetings. bbtioI NNs u>tu lo say si home-going pastor made church-go- ing people, and that the greatest pull he had with the people was the door pull. There is an idea among many city pastors that pastoral work is no longer g necessity hut no time that the minister spends will pay hm better dividends than that spent heart-to- heart with his people talking over the personal needs of each individual soul. The inspiration of the best sermons comes from this experience, and the best preparation which the pastor gets for any sermon he gets by personal contact with the lives of individuals.
 What is true in the metropolis is just as true in the country parish. Here pastoral visiting either consumes a large amount of time or is neglected because of great distance. The farmer now has his telephone, rural delivery. electric lights and power, state roads and an automobile. The minister must be up-tO-date. The best investment any parish could make would be to provide its pastor with an automobile"

Oil h Bad for Tires.

Oil, when allowed to come in con tact with automobile tires, softens the rubber and greatly reduces its wear ing qualities, according to the expert mechanics of the Iowa state college.
 Many tires are seriously injured by being allowed to stand in puddles of oil, which has dripped from the pow CT plant of the car. Whenever a cas- ing becomes covered with oil, it should be washed immediately with gasoline.
 Whenever possible, freshly-oiled roads should be avoided A few miles on dusty road will generally remove most of the oil which has been picked up on such strip. If any oil does remain, it should be removed imme- diately by washing with gasoline. The use of one of the many tire paints on the market may afford some protection from the oil.

Si'e my love tO-your-daughter
 Upton frankly choked as he watched the younger man swing of down the hill.
 Steadily Kynaston tramped down across the dead olive-green of the parched alfalfa patch. skirted the dead brown of the sugar cane. paused to wave his hand to the old miner, and then-disappeared from view among the cottonwoods.
 Upton, signing. turned back to the house. He tramped through the great room amid a great silence. Men turned from their loopholes. scanned his face, and furtively fell to rubbing spotless rifle-bolts with their shirt sleeves. They saw in his face such grief as is abo @ mere words. and, after the manner Of the southwest. re- spe ,ted it.
 Dorothy and Mrs. Fane he found in the back room. They knew. or sus- pected. Mrs. Fane was sitting in a chair at the head of the table, her face in her hands, frankly weeping. with her arms spread upon the table. her beautiful figure racked with sobs.
 Dorothy. mixture of fire and ice, stood by the window, which was closed and barred, confronting Mir. Wilkes. who fairly cringed before the concen- trated fury in her eyes.
 'I say it was a shame-a shame" she cried. What if he did kill hin? ? Did they not try 10 kill him first, and have they not stolen first from us, and for two days now tried to kill us all? Did he not peril his life to get us wa ter? Did he not cross the line and risk his life and, more than his life, his reputation as a soldier to help us?
 What must he think of us? To have us accept such a sacrifice from him. Oh, father. cannot stand it, Marion, say something"
 But Marion was long past saying that could be of even the smallest comfort. It was NIT. Upton who said slowly:
 We did the best we could, daugh- ter. We are but human. after all. Neither kynaston nor l were sure

Boys Become Scarce.

For the first time in more than 20 years the Children's Aid society ai New York is unable to furnish enough boys to families who want either to adopt them or care for them until the boys become of age. The reason for this is the campaign for military pre- paredness and the great demand for workers in war munition factories.
 Almost every day letters come to the society headquarters asking for boys who have been trained at Its farm school.
 Last month fl of the society's boys, sixteen to twenty-one years old. en- listed in the army and navy service for boys. The intuition factories take a large number of the older boys.

 The old miner never finished his sentence.
 He started back from the table as if a coiled rattlesnake lay within a foot of his face; for his daughter had dropped the hand that had saved his life and had turned up the hand that Kynaston had thrown so scornfully in the middle of the table, disclosing to his mortified eyes-four hines,

Save the Tires,

If, when a short, stony or rough section in the road is to be crossed, the car is sped up a little and the clutch is released just as the bad place is reached so the. car will coast over it, the occupants of the car will not notice 1t so much and ft will be much easier on the tires. It is very hard on tires to have power applied to them when travelling over stony stretches

 A moment later Upton came into the room. His face was gray with suppressed feeling and his gaunt frame showed unmistakable suffering. In the few minutes that had passed since kynaston had left him the whole trag- edy of the next twenty-four hours had been brought home to him.
 "I can't let you go. boy" he said hoarsely. We had better take our chance. Bring your men on over across the border"
 The appeal was almost overwhelm- ing in its intensity.
 Don't you know that it means your iife?"
 T know. But it means war if do; and, Upton. as God is my judge. I cannot start a war that will involve the country to save my own skin. You see that, don't you?"
 Upton licked his dry lips.
 ''when-when-do you mean to Ieave?" he asked
 Right now"
 Kynaston's face was pale.
 Are the ladies in the back room?"
 Yes. I'll go with you to the door,"
 The two men strolled listlessly to- ward the door of the main room, where the defenders stood eying them Frank puzzlement was written large upon their faces as Upton unbarred the door, letting Kynaston out upon the smooth four-hundred-yard stretch of grass that spread from the door step to the stream, grass that had been laboriously planted by hand through two generations.
 Below them the land sloped away to the east, a riot of gold and dun. pearl and opal, and that curious red brown that one sees in the southwest and nowhere else on earth.
 Looking out before he shut the door again, Upton saw, a mile away. col umn of red dust swirl up to the anne thystine sky and heard a series of long, joyous yells that cut the desert siieuces like a knife. Yell after yell broke out, then firing. and then more yeils.

Keen the Car Clean

Wash your car whenever it needs it and keep 1t clean. It will last longer, look better, need painting less often and you will take more pride and pleasure in it. A dirty car, like a dirty collar, is a poor advertisement. When covered with dirt and grime. you are apt to forget or overlook the grease cups until something goes wrong. Frequent washing means ire quent inspection, which pays in many ways.

commonest carburetor Complaint.

Probably the commonest carburetor complaint consists of the stoppage of the jet or spray plug by some solid particle carried into it by the fuel. This entirely cuts oif the fuel supply. The existence of such a condition can be determined by agitating the float. Should the carburetor flood and not overflow from the jet chamber. the passage of the jet should be opened and fine, soft wire passed through the jet.

CHAPTER VII.
A Contest of Wita.

Dusk was slowly drawing down as Kynaston left the house. Below him in the camp of the attackers excite ment was rife. Serious as was his predicament. he could not help specu- lating on the cause of it. Anything. even the most trivial thing, might turn the scale in his favor, and he did not mean to miss the slightest chance.
 He knew right well that, given the chance. Upton would get his party out and across the border to the place where the cavalry had camped. He
