USE CARE IN WASHING CAR.

Care in washing the motor car can
not be emphasized too much, for a pre-.
sentable appearance after a year OF
service rests wholly with the attention
that is given the body finish" says
C. L. Hedges. manager OF technical
service for the Haynes Automobile
Company, Kokomo. Ind, in a rvcen,
bulletin.
Mr.. Hedges advice Is applicable to
any car. and for that reason worthy
Of the attention Of every automobile
owner. He writes in part as follows:
The high gloss on new car. IT.
many instances, is lost in a short time
because It is irreparably marred in the
first washings.
"The varnish on a new car requires
month as a minimum time In which
TO properly set. In warm weather Il
is often advisable. with a newly pur.
chased automobile, to shower the body.
hood and tenders with clear cool wa.
ter. This will aid in hardening the var.
nish coating and 80 reduce the danger
from scratching and abrasion.
THE life OF the finish on any car
does not depend on the polishing ac.
tion that is given in washing. but 1n
quite the opposite. The body should
not be rubbed any more than is abso.

lutely necessary. In case the car is
muddy, 1t is always well to remove
the foreign substance as soon as DOS
sible to avoid spotting. This should
be done with clear running water, first
thoroughly soaking the mud, and then
washing II off. On account of it's
securing effect, water under pressure
should never be used for this purpose
Perhaps the greatest enemy high
body finish has in sponge in whioh
sand or grit has collected.
Even in the case of dust, IL is bet.
ter to remove this with slow runninc
water. Busters which are employed
by many owners, seriously affect he
paint by turning the dust into an abras-
i've.
When the body surfaces have been
well cleaned off by running water, they
should be gone over with new sponge.
care being taken that the sponge Is
always moved in a straight line Fol.
lowing this treatment, the finish Is
to be thoroughly rinsed and then dried
with chamois skin, which should be
thoroughly washed and wrung out dur.
ing the drying process. This action.
as well as the sponging should be ca.
ried out with a straight.line movement.
'ln most cases, the running gear and
lower parts Of the tenders should bc
washed first, as they are the dirtiast
parts Of the car. II grease and o.
are present, the under surfaces should
be soaked with a solution made by dis
solving soap in warm water. The suds
from this solution react on the finish
and should be washed off Immediately.
Treatment Of this kind however. should
never be employed on the body proper
THE hood Of a motor car should
never be washed while It is warm, since
the rapid drying Of the water deadens
the finish"

WAR SAVINGS SOCIETY
 HAS BEEN ORGANIZED
Prudential Agents Will Distribute
 Pledge Among Policy Holders.

In accordance with the scheme in augurated by the Prudential Insurance Company of America a War Savings society has been formed among the employees of the local district. There are thirty-six employees in the local district which embraces the Norwich, WiIlimantic New London, Putnam and Westerly offices and all of them have joined the society. These societies have been formed by the company iii all of their districts throughout the country to the number of several hun dred.
 nent the company has arranged to have all of it's agents sell the War Savings Stamps in the homes which they visit every week to collect their premiums. District Superintendent E. o. Rodier received a letter from N. Howard Cheney, chairman of the state board, Monday, giving his sanction of the plan and MT. Rodier has written for the pledge cards for the agents. If the cards arrive in time the agents will be equipped with them when they start out Monday.
 The agents will not take any of the money but will merely act as advance agents. They will present the pledge cards and will endeavor to persuade their policy holders to subscribe. thus helping the government win the war. The agent will return the card to the home office where it will be turned over tO lne pOSLOIHce DF Sne SupeFln- tendent. The postmaster will send a War Savings stamp for the amount subscribed to the subscriber by the mail carrier who will collect the mon ey when he delivers the stamp.
 It is believed that this method will result In a great increase of the sale of the stamps which is 1sti1l far below the two billion mark set by the gov ernment. The personal appeal to help win the war by saving a small sum cannot help but have an effect upon those who regard the project as some thing for those who are in better cir stances. Postmaster J. P. Murphy heartily endorses the scheme

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREE
 AT CHRIST CHURCH
Many Gifts Were Fiven to the Schol- ars of the School.

The annual Christmas Eve festival of the Christ Church Sunday school was held Monday afternoon at the church at 4 o'clock. There was a large attendance and in accordance with the usual custom there were two trees, one decorated and gay with lights, while the other was dark and bare. As each child came to the altar and received his or her present a present from each was placed at the foot of the bare tree for the needy ones who are less fortunate than themselves. Popcorn, instead of the candy of former years, was passed out in the oxes distriuted with the pres ents.
 The gifts and popcorn were distrib- uted by Walter B. Crooks, Lloyd Jo- seph Hall and Sven Diedrickson. Dur ing the services the following musical programme was rendered by the church choir, accompanied by Will liam F. Habekotte:
