Care of a Motor Car Top

When a motor car top is folded for
spring and autumn driving, the ma
terial Is sometimes pinched by the
bows or top fasteners and the fabric
stretched out of shape. This can be
avoided by care in lowering the top. An
occasional brushing. inside and out,
will keep the top in good condition and
prolong its life.
The top may be washed with soap and
water to remove the accumulation OF
dust and grease spots. Gasoline. how
ever. should never be used to clean the

50 far as stopping the sale of gasolene.

Traffic driving in New York City is a
most excruciating pleasure. Some days
it seems worse than others. Those
are the days when you get in back of a
horse-drawn truck whose driver is so
merciful to his beasts that he creeps
along on his way. Those, too, are the
occasions upon which the motorlst has
ready opportunity to find out ~ his
car can throttle down to two miles an
hour on high and then pick up again
see advertisements-t let him get by
the truck the moment an opening af-
fords. II seems to me that two miles
an hour is about the average behind a
horse-drawn vehicle.
But il isn't alone on streets whore
there is much horse traffic that slow
progress is the rule. The other day it
was matter of half an hour down
Fifth Avenue from Fifty-seventh TO
, Thirty-fourth Street There was a
| traffic stop at almost every intersec-
ton. II makes the motorist boil. Ditto
I the radiator.
To begin with, the city isn't built
right for motor travel, even in the
moer modern parts. That's one
| thing. Another is that automobiles and
! horses should not be permitted on the
/ same streets. The horses retard mo-
| florists too much. Oh. yes. motorists
/ really have some rights that ought TO
he considered. and for one thing they
shouldn't be condemned to average
! four miles an hour along the streets.

PERMANENT PEACE
 NECESSARY, SAYS GENERAL PERSR|NG
American Commander in Chief Strongly Supports
 View of General Petain.

Paris, June 28.-Major General Per- shing, the American commander, has left the hotel in which he has been staying since his arrival in Paris to make his home in fine old residence in the Rue de Varenne, so as to be near his headquarters. The house, which has magnificent garden, form erly belonged to Prince Gortchakoff. It was leased before the war by Og- den Mills, of New York, who placed it at the disposal of General Pershing.
 The American commander was ask ed today to comment on the article entitled, "Why We Are Fighting" published yesterday in the Army Bulletin, in which General Petain, the French commander in chief, explained the object of the war and why pre- mature peace must not be concluded. General Pershing said:
 "I have read General Petain's ar ticle with deepest interest. His an- swer to the question is complete and logical. The facts set forth should convince the world of the justice of our great cause. I cannot think it possi- ble that anyone should hold a differ ent view on why we are in the war. It is quite beyond reason that anyone knowing the truth should fail to con- demn the course pursued by the Ger man government, and the truth has been clearly pointed out by the dis tinguished commander in chief of the French army.
 '"There must be no peace except a lasting peace. The ideals for which the allies are contending must be held sacred. France will continue her splendid fight for human rights and human liberties, and fresh examples of heroism by her valiant armies will still further inspire those fighting by her side"

PREFERS BULLET
 TO hANGMAN'S ROPE FOR HIS EXECUTION
Convicted Slayer of Wife Hopes Marksmen Make
 Death Instantaneous.

Salt Lake City, Utah, June 28.- Howard De Weese, sentenced to death for the staying of his wife last Sep tember, has chosen to be shot rather than hanged, at the laws hands, July |6. He is resigned to his fate and says he hopes that no steps will be taken to gain a new trial or a reprieve. The laws of Utah provide that a person sentenced to death may choose the way to die. Before deciding upon being shot, De Weese asked a prison guard questions relative to the calibre of the bullets, stating that he did not want the marksman to "play" with him but to make death instantane- |ous.
 De Weese eloped with the wife of Harry w. Fisher, haberdasher, from New York. They went to Reno and Pacific coast cities to live. Last Sep tember the pair who had married at Reno after Mrs. Fisher obtained a divorce, came to Salt Lake City.
 A few days later neighbors became suspicious and the apartment was en- tered. They discovered the body of Mrs. De Weese, her features smashed by a flatiron which lay on the bed beside her.
 A few months later De Weese sur rendered to the Chicago police. In the interval between his surrender and trial, he confessed to numerous burg laries and boasted that he was the greatest diamond thief of the last de- cade. He asserted that his wife was slain by robbers with whom he form erl yassociated, who had tracked him and his wife to Salt Lake City and, when he was out. committed the mur- der to obtain $12,000 worth of jewels which De Weese said he had stolen.

FLIES SPREADING GERMS THAT KILL
 MANY CHILDREN
Sixty-e eight Already Report ed Dead in Two Counties
 of Southeast Missouri.

St. Louis, June. 2s.-Sixty-eight children have died of severe form of summer complaint in two counties of southeast Missouri, Scott and Dunk lin, in the past two weeks.
 More than 200 persons, mostly chil- dren, now are i'll and about one-fourth of these are in a serious condition Several in middle life have been af- fetced. but the victims mostly are un- der two years. No one in middle life has died. *E:..
 According to physicians the cpl denies are similar but not exactly alike. They are said to have been due to unusual climatic conditions in that section of Missouri. The cool spring was followed suddenly by warm weather, causing rapid repatriation from the sandy soil. This created an unsanitary condition making the chill dren peculiarly liable to intestinal troubles. Flies have been a factor in the spread of the disease.

cause he and his tall, slim friend, had
cooked up a scheme, whereby they
could match the other man out of his
roll and it looked like easy money. The
climax came long before the gentlemen
reached the pier when, with Hermann IS
diamond ring in their possession, the
men took French leave, promising to
meet the Kenoshan at the Northwest
ern station later in the day. When
Hermann woHe up to his loss, he hap
pened upon some sailor friends of his
and went back over the route to the
municipal pier, but there was no tall,
slim man or short stalky one in sight.
The rest of the day Hermann spent in
the Office of a Chicago detective, but
as yet he has no clue which will lead
him to the recovery of his diamond
Hermann gladly told his story and said
that he hoped other Kenosha travellers
in Chicago would profit by his expert
ence and think twice before they
accepted a strangers invitation to
see the municipal pier or the explosion
