Nrichelin Tire Hints

On the proper care and treatment
of rims.
Mr.. Potter of The Ordway Auto Co.
strong supporter of Michelin Tires
says that "rust is an enemy of rub
ber." 1t will pay the motorist to in
spect occasionally the condition of the
rims on the wheels of his car, es-
pecially II the outer surface of the
castings near the beads look rusty.
This discoloration is rust caused by
rusted rims. This rust If not arrest
ed will gradually eat thru the rubber,
the canvas of the tire. In
time the edges of the rusted rims
will become more and more uneven,
tearing and eventually destroying the
beads. Furthermore, rust works in
between the beads and the rims leav-
ing space for water which also dam
ages the rubber.
To remove rust from a rim. the
tire should be taken off and the rusty
parts rubbed clean with coarse emery
paper. Then smooth the surface with
finer emery paper and re-japan the
rim, applying one coat to the outside
and two to the inside, making sure
first that the surface is smooth and
free from rust. Roughness may be
quickly detected by running the hand
along the edge of the rim. When the
edge of the rim is too uneven for the
use of the emery paper. first use a
file after which emery paper may be
used for finishing.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

The first navigator to double the
Cape Of Good Hope was Vasco de
Cana, Portuguese sailor, who sailed
RIGA 419 years ago today, Nov. 20,
1877 King Emanuel Of Portugal was
the royal patron Of the expedition
which consisted of three vessels with
100 men. After doubling the Cape de
Cana sailed northward, and discover
ed Sofala, Mozambique and Melinda.
He then engaged an Indian pilot and
crossed the ocean from Melinda to
Calicut in twenty three days. Thus
was decided the great problem Of that
day-how to go to India from Europe
by water It was in the hope Of dis
covering such a route that Columbus
set out on the voyage which resulted
in the discovery Of America, and the
West Indies owe their name to the
geographical error which prevailed at
that time as to their position. The
Portuguese were the leaders in the
exploration Of the African coast, and
Pope Martin V. bestowed on the Por-
wards be discovered in Africa and In
dia. A Portuguese expedition under
Bartholomew Diaz, sent out in 1896,
reached the Cape of Good Hope, but
Diaz turned back without trying to
reach India. Diaz named the south
ern extremity of Africa the Cape of
TORRENTS, because of the stormy
weather he encountered in that region.
but the King changed the name to

yICE-PRESfDENT KING.

William Rufus King, born April 9,
1885, died April Is. 1853, was vice.
president Of the United States VINO
never served in that capacity and one
who took the oath Of office on foreign
soil, something which can be said OF
no other executive officer who has
ever elected by the people Of this
country. King was an invalid, but
his friends urged him to take second
place on the ticket with Pierce in
1852.
Both were elected. but Mr.. Kings
health failed SO rapidly that he was
forced to go to Cuba some two months
before Inauguration day. Not having
returned to the United States by
March 4, congress passed a special act
authorizing the United States consul
at MatanzaS Cuba, to swear him In as
vice president at about the hour when
Pierce was taking the oath Of Office
at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out
to a dot, and ON the day appointed, at
a plantation on one Of the highest hills
in the vicinity Of Matanzas, Mr.. King
was made vice-president Of the United
States amid the solemn ''Vaya vol
con Dios'' GOOD will be with your OF
the creoles who had assembled to wit
ness the unique spectacle. Vice
President King returned to his home
at Cahawba, Ala. arriving. at that
place April IT. 1853. and died the fol-
lowing day.

NEW ARTIFICIAL ARM
MARVEL OF PERFECTION

In an article recently authorized by
the British official press bureau, in
which the subject of the narrative is
the supplying of artificial limbs to
MANNED soldiers, a reference is made
to an artificial arm invented by an
American which is called marvel,
but which unfortunately for men OF
limited means retails at the high price
of $3.50. The article after referring to
this American invention tells of the
plans now under way which will make
possible the extension of government
aid to those who would otherwise be
unable to supply themselves with arti-
fetal arms and legs.
British government officials, the
statement reads, care devoting much
consideration to the problem of the
continuous provision of artificial limbs
for men broken in battle who need
such aids to make the best of their
careers A plan is being drawn up by
which the state will contrive to supply
the most scientific appliances in this
direction, thereby helping suffering
warriors not only to get some further
enjoyment out Of life, but to be use
full from an Industrial point of view.
But an artificial arm, for instance, is
costly limb. An American has in
vented one which is admittedly
a. marvel, but it costs $3.50. The price
is, Of course, beyond the means of an
ordinary Tommy; hence the idea OF
state cooperation.
"a Liverpool officer, who is recently
possessed of one of these wonderful
inventions can pick up g. pin or PEN
ny, draw a fcigarette out of case, put
| it in his mouth and light it, to say
nothing Of guiding a horse with the
reins, lifting SO pound weight sign
ing his name, steering a bicycle or a
| motorcar and generally initiating the
| work of the natural arm in such a
manner that at first sight one cannot
see that his arm is artificial. He lay
| in hospital side by side with soldiers
who had lost right or left arms. He
has visited them since he left the hos
pital and has been struck with the in
ferior quality of the artificial limbs
supplied to the soldier in comparison
with his own

OF THE G.. A. r.

Union veterans of the civil war will
celebrate today the semi-centenary or
the founding of the Grand Army OF
the Republic as a national organlza-
ton. 1t was on the twentieth OF NO
vember, 1855. that the first national
encampment Of the G. A. X. was call
ed to order in Morrisons Opera house
in Indianapolis. Representatives OF
the boys in blue" from Illinois. Mis-
souri,, Indiana, Kansas, Wisconsin,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa.
Kentucky and the District OF C0un-
bia attended this pionesr meeting ana
took part in the task OF effectins
national organization Of veterans.
DR.. B. F. Stephenson of Springfield,
ILL.,, a surgeon of the Fourteenth H.
linois Infantry, was the father of the
G. A. r. Early in 1855 he began to
urge the desirability OF society OF
the returned veterans, for mutual
benefit, and to afford assistance to dis
abled and unemployed veterans for
mutual benefit. and to afford assist
ance to disabled and unemployed vet
Grams of the terrible civil strife. In
f'-~~
formed in Decatur, ILL.,, and other
posts were soon mustered throughout
Illinois and contiguous states. Tho
first state department convention, that
OF Illinois, was held in Springfield in
July. On the last day of October,
DR.. Stephenson, as provisional COM
chief, sent out call for
national encampment, and Indianapo-
lis was chosen as the place Of meet
ing While the convention was
small one, as compared with the great
gatherings Of subsequent yeaRs. the
delegates made up In enthusiasm
what they lacked In numbers. Ste
phen A. Hurlbut, Of Illinois, was elect
ed as commander in-chief. He was
a native Of South Carolina. but was a
Union major-general Of volunteers In
the bloody struggle between North
and South.
The Indianapolis encampment gave
a great impetus to the movement, and
departments were soon formed in all
the northern states, and posts in near
ly all cities and important towns. The
second national encampment was held
in Philadelphia in 1898, and found
the order in fiourishing condition.
Gen. JOAN A. Logan of Illinois was
elected commander-in-chief and was
retained in that office for three sue
cessive terms. During the political
campaign Of 'e8 the idea became pre-
valent that the @. A. r. was intended
as a political machine, and this caus'
ed the loss Of many members, and an
almost total but temporary disruption
of the order in the West. In 1871
a rule was adopted prohibiting the
use Of the order for any political pur-
pose, and steadfast adherence to this
principle brouaht back into the fold
all the disgruntled> m An1bers.
The veterans Of the South remain
ed without a similar organization I'm
til 1889, when the United Confederate
Veterans order was launched. and
soon gained a place in the affections
| of the South similar to that held by
| the G. A. R.. in the North.

TURKISH CENSOR is
MODEL OF POIITENESS

In all letters from America the
Turkish censor seemed to take the
most personal interest. Sometimes he
would tuck his card into a maya
zine, Compliments of the censor
states Arthur Ruhl in Colliar's Week
ly.
At the end Of one letter of mine
from New York-a fine letter, running
on for couple of sheets in the care
less way people could still run on at
home-he wrote in pencil: "Please not
so long-Censor." I heard of an
other American letter with some rath-
err intimate reflections at the end and
the words. "But L suppose the cold
blooded censor will cut this OUT to
which was added: 1.-THE censor is not
cold blood On the contrary, he is
very hot blooded''
One day had the pleasure of meet
ing him, or at least that part of him
which handled English correspond
ence-an Oxford Turk who could
speak English as we'll as anybody and
most polite. He ordered coffee in the
Turkish fashion, passed cigarettes and
spoke of his quaint avocation.
Fancy" he saba woman takes
a donkey ride over in Anatolia some
where and writes her husband sixteen
pages about it. Well, now, no one
could read that" So his young men
read the first page and the last, and
the rest they simply lifted out and
into the wastebasket!
+ This explained it-those curious let
ters people had been getting with a
start and finish and the rest all gone
Imagine yourself, for instance, sepa-
rated by 5000 miles and a continent
covered with war from those you care
about most and then getting a letter:
Il feel it my duty to tell you the
truth then a gap and the
conclusion: eff you act at once there
may still be time. Yours sincerely
IL 1t wasn't that the censor
objected to the middle of the letter
but there wasn't time to wade through
all, and he merely sent what he could

SIX YEARS OF TT

Mexicans of. the Carranza faction
will celebrate today the sixth ami
versary of the beginning Of the revo-
luton in that troubled country. The
uprising against Diaz and the "cienti-
fico" government, long plotted in Sc
cret, received its baptism Of blood on
the night of Nov. 20. 1910, in the
house of AqNiies Serbian in Puebla.
The soldiers attempted to arrest Ser
dan, but he barricaded his house and.
with the aid Of his wife and her
brother and three sisters, offered
desperate resistance. Serbian and his
brother-in-1aw were killed. as were
several of the soldiers, before the
doors were battered down and the
brave women placed under arrest.
That fight was the spark which fired
the revolution-the end of which, 1t is
to be feared. is not yet.
