Saturday evening Mr.. James Thack-
ston and Miss Grace Cullumber were
married, Rev. Albers Fl. Cullen, pastor
of the Baptist Church performing the
ceremony. The happy young Welsh
couple are receiving a shower Of con-
gratulations from their many friends.
The groom is a son of Mr.. T. A.
ThacktOn, now of Crowley. He was
mostly reared in this community,
and when his family moved to the
neighboring city the ties Of friendship
proved too strong to sever, and con-
sequently he remained here to launch
his ship on life's sea Of endeavor.
The bride is a sister Of Mrs. L. R.
Barbee. She is a very charming, pop.
uIar and capable young lady. Dur
ing the past few months she has been
engaged as operator for the Planters
Telephone Company on the local
switchboard.

A Woman Finds All Her Energy and

Welsh women know how the aches
and pains that often come when the
kidneys fail make life burden. Back
ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are frequent indications of weak kid
neys and should be checked in time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. They attack kidney dis
eases by striking at the cause.
Can Welsh sufferers desire strong
er proof of merit than this Jennings

THE EXPERTS SAY.

The owner who Is not vigilant and
neglects the parts he does not see or
which do not give trouble usually
finds some time that upon starting
one Of the wheels becomes locked,
even though the brake pedal and lever
are free. This is due to the fact that
there is SO much play in the brake
l,nkage that when the hand brake
lever is released 1t merely takes UP the
play, leaving the unlubricated mechan-
ism set in holding position. This hap
pened recently and hammer had to
be used to loosen the brake mechanism.
n YOU should have fuel feed trouble
which you cannot locate. remove the
gasoline tank and shake 1t. In tour
out of FIVE cars fitted with cheap
tanks there always are rev o pieces e
These pieces work their way to
place over the feed line and prevent
the proper flow of fuel. There is only
one way Of getting the pieces out. and
that is to shake them out.
Weak valve springs can cause end
less trouble in promoting poor engine
operation. Whenever the valves are
removed the springs should be meas
ured to see II they are OF the same size.
II one spring is short 1t either will
have to be stretched or a plate placed
under 1t to increase the pressure.
Convertible models generally are
fitted with patent window anti-rattlers
in the form of rubber-tipped screws
these anti-rattlers are used for the
door windows the owner should be
careful not to slam the door when
the device is set. The result OF this
quite clear that II the screw protrudes
out 30 far that it can touch the pane
or it's frame, II the door Is slammed
the pane will strike the screw and
thing to do is to turn the anti-rattler
away from the pane before the door is
opened or remember to close the door
without slamming 1t.
When a rim with tire is mounted on
the wheel 1t often happens that the
rim cannot be moved into place. re,
Slight sa sprfnging Of the rim is all that
is needed and this may be done by
placing the head Of jack against the
hub of the wheel and the base of the
rim. Thus sprung little. hammer
blow will slide the rim over the edge
of the wheel. In most cases of this
kind the mere operation Of the Jack
will force the rim over the wheel.
The driver who is particular about
his car should examine his rims and
tires at least once each week. Few
owners realise that rim with its
tire can creep around the wheel II
the shoulders Of the wheel which hold
the demountable rim are the least bit
worn. This occurred recently and was
came through the wheel hole at an
acute angle. This was caused by the
rim and tire creeping around. thus
tending to pull the valve stem out Of
ala a IVA In u
firmly by means OF cap, then the
strain falls on the lower portion of the
stem and the portion OF the inner
tube surrounding It. In the case men
valve stem was cut almost in two.
Also, In tightening the rim Tugs be
sure you are tightening the correct
order. If they are frightened one after
there Is apt to be too much space on
one side and too little on the other.

sionaily and this condition should be

to prevent rust.
In many makes of wire wheels the
greatest care must be exercised in
putting the locking devices in place.
For instance. the right front lock must
not be used on the left front wheel. or
vice versa. In wheels of this kind II is
quite within possibilities that with the
wrong lock installed a wheel might

SAN FRANCISCO MAY BAR
THE STREETS TO HORSES

SAN FRANCISCO, November17.-Bar-
ring the horse from the streets OF San
Francisco is the purpose of an ordi-
nance, which. 1t is understood among
motor car dealers, is to be presented
to the board of supervisors shortly.
with the request that 1t be enacted into
law.
Advocates OF the measure advance
seven arguments in favor of 1t. They
are as follows:
.That it will greatly relieve con-
gestion of traffic in the downtown dis
tricts.
'"rhat 1t will make San Francisco a
cleaner, more healthful city. and there
by decrease the death rate.
THAT 1t will eliminate the stable and
substitute the garage. thereby In
creaslns the value Of real estate.
That 1t will lower the cost OF living
by releasing acreage and labor now
required for the support OF the horse
to farming and foodstuffs suitable for
human consumption.
That 1t will mean less work for
the street cleaning department, and.
therefore. less burden for the taxpayer.
That it will give San Francisco
fame as the leader of movement
sure to be taken UP sooner or later
throughout the world.
THAT it will increase wages by Gre
ating q demand for highly-paid skilled
labor-chaufIeurs and mechanics-in-
stead OF poorly-paid unskilled labor
Transfers and hostlers."

MOTOR TRUCK MOST USEFUL.
Gen. Baker Puts It in the First Line
of Defense.

Gen. Chauncey B. Baker of the Quar-

of transportation. has put the motor
truck practically in the first line of de-
tense, explains Motor Age.
Gen. Baker points out that the pri-
mary use Of the motor truck for military
purposes is to carry supplies, but that
there are supplementary uses TO which
motor apparatus can be put. such as
furnishing motor power for the tractor
and for the transporting of heavy guns.
Also, in the carrying of the personnel.
