Upholstery covers We're primarily
intended 20 protect the clothing OF the

ually broadened until today uphol-
stery covers are chosen as carefully

holstery covers will be the fashion

Wise car owners realize that slip
covers not only add a good looking
touch to the car, but are serviceable
and economical as well. II is almost
impossible to keep upholstery with it's
plaits and tufts free from dust and
grease in summer. Then, too, leather
upholstery, wnen exposed to the sun,
becomes so hot that it is uncomfort-
able to sit upon, while extreme heat
tends to dry the oils i'm the leather
and the cushions soon bulge and lose
their shape. Upholstery covers Of
cloth hold the padding in place and,
by presenting smooth surface, can
be more easily whisked off and kept
clean than the leather upholstery
with its folds and buttons. A wnisll-
broom keeps the covers clean for
months az time. Whenever II Is
necessary the covers can be washed
with soap and water without beins
removed from the upholstery, or they
can be detached and sent to the dry

wearily into a bus outside London

weary man a seat. He was dead tired,
and so resolved to get a seat by STRAIT

He fished from his haversack a
small bomb.

the interested passengers. See this

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
LONDON, June An interesting
account of the last days of Prince
Karl Friedrich nephew of the Ger
man emperor, who was wounded
whea flying and taken prisoner by the
Australians, is given in a letter re-
ceived here from the Reverend Cald-
well, a Baptist minister, who is Of
ficial chaplain to the German prison
ers in the general hospital in France.
'If l am anything" the minister
quoted the prince as saying to him.
"T am a sport. | have played tennis

players. ! shall never forget the good
times | had i'm England when / played
them all. The kindness which has
surrounded me since | became a pris-
oner has brought back the memory
of those days.
The Australians were good to me:
the officers and soldiers who attended
me coming down the line We're very
considerate and the whole atmos-
phere of this hospital is kindness. |

me well

I shall go back and help to build up

time | came and went" said Mr.. Cald-
well can hour or-so before he died
! prayed with him. He was very weak
and i'll.
when / finished he opened his
eyes and with "A smile said: Thank
you, thank you very much He soon
fell INTO unconsciousness from which
he never recovered"

John Grier Hibbon, president OF
Princeton University, said at recep-
tion the other day:
"Gernany's unanimous approval OF
the submarine murder of women and
and children naturally leads us to be-
lieye that all Germans are tarred with
the same brush. In short. we have
to look on Germany much as Red
face Leary looked on Tin Can.
"A man said to Redface Leary in a
Graveyard saloon:
Il hear you went over to Tin Can
last night and lynched the wrong
man"

ford is an important point I'm favor Of
their use. Depreciation is the biggest
item OF automobile expense, ana the
more costly the car, the greater the
rate OF depreciation. Covers reduce
the excessive wear on the upholstery
and, when the car is rcsold, the good
condition of the upholstery invarl-
ably raises the value Of the car. Even

AUSTRALIA fine FIELD
FOR AMERICAN AUTOS
Entrance of United States
Into War Stimulates Busi-
ness with Antipodes.

Denied the product Of the mother
country antipodal motorists, in fact
and prospectives, are buying Ameri-
can cars in greater quantities than
ever before. Now these people show
greater inclination toward American
products than was true two months
ago. Then they were buying of n
neutral. today they are buying OF an
ally. This Is tho substance Of state
ment made by J. b. Clarkson OF New
Zealand, who is In America to pur-
chase motor cars, motorcycles acces-
sories and tractors, which his com
pany distributes in New Zealand and
Australia.
New Zealand and Australia have
one car for each 100 persons, APP
proXimately, and the ratio is the same
in each country. New Zealand with
about 100000 population has about
- 600 cars, while Australia with ap-
proXimatcly 100000 people has
about 10000 cars. Very few closcu
cars are found in New Zealand, since
the climate is mild and the winter
season there consists of about -four
months OF rainy weather.
There has been strong movement
for better roads in this country in the
last few years. especially since the
motor car came into existence. ana
now the island may be traversed from
north to south with little difficulty,
altho there are sections of the bush"
as the New Zealand thicket is
termed, that are almost impenetrable
Motorists OF this country know moth
ing of the taxation placed on motor
cars in America. Naturally they have
to pay high for American cars,
Ford there sells for between 5000 and
$1,000, and the cars that we can buy
in the United States in the $1,000
class cost approximately 50, 900 in the

purchased there IS no further taxa
