end, the trouble is probably a carbon
knock. Run engine while you pour a
25-cent bottle of hydrogen peroxide
on auxiliary air valve of carburetor.
This will help remedy the trouble.
If the trouble persists 1t is prob
ably loose bearing somewhere. This
will necessitate taking down the mo-
tor in order to fix it, but If neglected
it may cause serious damage to the
motor.
A liberal education on the subject
of tires can be obtained from the ad-
vertising literature of the manufac-
turers. Write to them or call at their
agencies. A trip thru a repair shop
where vulcanizing is done will add
much Of importance to your know
ledge Of tires.

monkey wrench, set 1t up carefully
and avoid rounding off the nut corn

The same advice applies to lubri-

by the manufacturers contain infor-

torist. The Importance of fabrication
can hardly be over-estimated, yet II
Is often neglected by the average
man. Read up on the subject and you
will get better results from your car
because you will then be better able
to care for it.
Keep watch on the spokes of the
wheels, especially If the car Is an ole
one. If spokes can be shaken, tight
en- the bolts on the flanges of the
hub. If they are still loose, consult
a wheelwright, as your life may be
endangered by the breaking OF

Usinu Walls and Fences.

More use should be made of walls
and fences in small gardens. 1t is not
always necessary that either orna-
mental or fruiting plants should be in
the open or clear Of structures. Not
alone ornamental vines, but also fruit
ing vines and shrubs may be trained
in fan shape or fat against walls COW
cred with mesh wire. Used in this
way even melon and cucumber vines
become ornamental and do splendid
service as short-season screens.

UGLY POINTS MAY BE HIDDEN
Permanent Fixtures, Such az Fence
and Clothes Posts, Should BE
Made Things Of Beauty.

The most noticeable permanent fea-
lures of the backyard, which Is the
usual place for the city garden, are
the fence and the clothes posts. They
remain grim and Incorporating,
while shrubs flourish and flowers
bloom and after the leaves have with
cred and fallen.
The garden magazines advise mass
ing shrubs on the fences, letting vines
climb the clothes posts or stringing
wire netting for nasturtiums to climb
upon. This is well In summer, but
when the leaves have fallen and the
naked fence Is again exposed, the
dragging vines blow in the wind, and
netting and all fall in an uncomely
heap together unless the careful gar
dener removes them. At any rate the
fence and the posts can only be COW
cred with foliage and bloom during a
short period.
The solution Of the difficulty then
is to make the fence and posts, the
ugly and permanent features, things
of beauty. A fence may be made of
such a pattern as not to be offensive
to the eye, and If it is possible to have
it Of brick or stone it need not be a
support for vines unless one desires
it.
The posts, too, may be placed in
unconspicuous positions. They may be
painted green, a soft color, harmonic
ing well with grass, vines and flow
erS.
These two difficulties disposed of,
one may begin the planning Of the
backyard city garden with confidence.

COKE NOW On WAY
TO THOMPSON SHELTER

Word was received in Reno We'd
nesday morning that cars of coke for
Thompson and Wabuska have passed
ogden. The Thompson company has
had a huge quantity OF ore on hand
and some coke. but not enough of the
latter TO blow in the smelter.
With the announcement Of the
coke now on the way. it is thought
that in three weeks time there will
be a sufficient quantity to blow in
the smelter. Ii is understood that
the company will not begin work I'M
til il has from $50 10 200 carloads
of coke on hand. and the officials of
the Southern Pacific have announced
that they have been working for six
weeks to get a sufficient quantity Of
fuel for the smelter and it now
seems probable that enough will
have been obtained for the smelter
to blow in within three weeks time :.
Ninety raeked ears have been at
Ogden for some time and eastern
roads have now taken many of these
and promise they will be used ONLY
for carrying coke and coal which il
so sorely needed by the Thompson

BAKERS ADOPT RULE

Beginning Monday. most Of the bak-
ers Of Washington will stop receiving
bread returned as stale"
Action in this regard was taken yes
terday afternoon at a meeting attended
by Representatives Of twelve Of the
city's largest bakeries. The decision
was made as patriotic war time meas
ure. in response to letter addressed to
Bakers of America by Herbert c. Hoo
yer. Mr.. Hoover's request was trans
mitted to bakers all over the country
by that association.
Bakers state they must have the CO.
operation of housewives to carry into
effect this program, which they believe
will result In saving Of at least per
cent Of the bread sold in Washington.
Though their course may result in les
SEEMING their sales, especially to those
who wish to make emergency pur-
chases of bread, the Washington bakers
are carrying out this policy as a food
conservation measure.
The cooperation asked of housewives
and of all purchasers of bread is that
these buyers place orders with their
grocers In advance for the amount Of

only as much bread as he knows he can

to be per cent Of the total days out
put Of bread in Washington. will be
eliminated. Formerly this bread re-
turned was sold for animal food.
