HOW TO APPLY WAX POLISH
Some Helpful Suggestions on How to
Keep Body Of Car Spiek
and Span.

To apply a nonfluid wax polish, one
has to rub 1t on much the same as In
applying a nontluid- cleaner. Every
spot Of the finish must be touched and
an even. thick coating applied. In liQ-
uid pOlishes the same even applica-
ton should be observed. One of the
best methods of applying wax is to
wrap a piece of the material in q piece
Of cheesecloth, drawing the cloth into
a bunch which may be held by the
fingers without getting them covered
with the polish. The rubbing will
cause the wax to work through the
~cheesecloth, imparting an even coat
ing.
The finishing touch should be done
with a channels and this final polishing
is a matter Of hard rubbing until the
wax is thoroughly worked in and a
shiny finish results. The harder the
rubbing the better and more lasting
the finish. Once applied, the wax fin
ish will last for a month or more and
the second and consequent applica-
tions do not require the amount Of
work. A cleaner rubbed over the sur
face that has previously been waxed
takes off the dirt very readily.
The polishing completed, 1t is now
time for %retouching the places on the
body and tenders where the enamel
has been worn off. This retouching
should be done after the polishing is
completed, because at that time one
is sure that all dirt has been removed,
and painting or enameling W dirt
will not help the appearance Of tie cal.
Quick-drying enamel will dry over
night, as will the preparations especial
ly prepared for this retouching. The
wax should be removed from the places
to be retouched by dabbing them with
q piece Of rag soaked in gasoline. With
a fine, round-pointed brush n can en-
amel over the smallest scratches. The
enamel flows evenly and the mark will
not be noticeable. The writer has
painted a body complete with this en-
amel and found that the material
flows evenly, w If the brushw0rk Is
rather careless.

HOW TO IDENTIFY CHICKENS
Where Fowls In Neiohborhood Are
Much Alike II Is Excellent Plan
to Paint or Dye Them. r.

Neighbors living close to each other
grow chickens which are very much
alike. Often each party thinks the 9TH
ler Is in possession Of some Of his birds
and trouble begins. In order to avoid
this, one neighbor will get some black
chickens because his neighbor has
white ones.
I. Hens in adjoining yards, If they
get through the fence, often make
their home In the new quarters.
2. Different varieties in adjoining
breeding yards are in great danger Of
becoming mixed.
g.. All birds in any community which
are apt to range together should be
one variety properly branded.
A good grade Of dye or paint is the
best method of marking the birds to
be detected at sight. different people
using different colors. If all are grow
ing white birds, one person can use
red on his birds, another blue, another
green, ETC., placing the color on the
wings and tail so they can be seen at
a distance. This gives quick identif-
cation Of the birds, and In addition to
helping neighbors to identify their
own birds. will help control wholesale
chicken thieves, because Of this identi-
ticatiOn.

Coach George Van Vliet of the Rich

to the members of the organization In
a log book. Oarsmen will record the
miles they row on each trip in prac-

be used to purchase q trophy which

who has rowed the g%eratest number Of

many clubs throughout this country.

was made by Edwin G. Grice of the

rowed 4,425 miles in ten months dur
