MUD SHOULD NOT DRY
ON VARNISHED SURFACE

When your car enters the garage
splashed with mud and water take time
enough before locking the garage door
to go over the car with the hose and re-
move the dirt before It cakes on. Then.
if you are careful of the finish of your
car, you will "chamois" it and not allow
the water to dry on the surface. This is
particularly important If the car is to be
used on cold day soon after washing.

AUTOMOBILE BANDITS.

The first appearance of the auto- mobile as an accessory to crime was in New York nine years ago today, when a robber entered a jewelry store in Lexington avenue, shot the pro- prietor, the latter spending several months in a hospital from the wound, the bandit making off with a large quantity of booty in a taxicab. Sew eral months after James J. Janison, the original. automobile bandit, was arrested and sent to Sing Sing for 2d years. Soon after began the amazing exploits of the motor car gangs Of Paris, who robbed and killed with out compunction, and who were able for months, with the aid of speedy cars. to escape the clutches of the law. In cities throughout Europe and America the automobile became an accessory to criminal operations. One memorable instance being the use o1 murder carl by the assassins oi Herman Rosenthal, the New York gambler who was killed for "squeal- ing IA prominent murder car'' case which is now holding the atten, .tion of the. Eastern public is that oi the Means-King affair, which is Tbe- ing investigated by the courts and

estimate our adversary. We are we'll aware of his strength, and we are willing to sacrifice our best in blood and treasure to remove this menace.
 The present ruling class of Ger many must be removed or at least be made 1mpotent of doing any further mischief. When this is accomplished a. great stride will have been made toward universal world peace. Under a new liberal, free government, the German people will expand and blos sem into a still greater nation, and all the energy and. brain power will be expended in the channels of peace in- stead of war. The world has never seen a parallel to the preparations for war that the German nation made in the present one. This could not have been brought about in a year or two.. It took almost a century to accomplish it, and to make this acme of perfection of militarisn a reality, and-for what? Was it for the de- fense of the people from outside agt gression, or for defending their boun- daries? Scarcely. The acts of the Ger man government belle this assertion. They have been the aggressors al- ways, in all the wars, since Napoleon was on the rampage. It has simply all been done for the aggrandize- ment of the rulers. Successful con- clusions of all the wars they under ] took, more power and control of oth- CT peoples destiny made them dizzy
 They began to chant and dream of
 world control, and today we have the
 result of this dream, and the desper-
 ate effort of this Prussian Junker-
 dom to consummate this dream into a reality.
 The way this has been accomplish
 ed is; almost incomprehensible. It is
 staggering our minds. A naturally
 peace-loving people has been develt Ioped into the most efficient fighting
 machine that has ever been known
 The government has not been a bad
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-10-22

government. On the contrary, 1t Is
 a model of efficiency. The people
 have prospered and been looked after in detail. It has been >paterna1 in it's application. Therein lies the strength
 of the rulers with the people.
 But to what end has this been
 done? It is this-to train and perfect
 fighting machine. A disgruntled and
 dissatisfied people would not be pli- able for such a purpose. The peoples mind and body has been trained to
 one purpose. That purpose was war. Nothing was left. undone to assure success. The result of this training
 became apparent to the most .unob-
 serving the last decade. The immt- grants that came to this country from
 Germany were of different spirit
 than those of a half century ago.
 They seemed to be 1mbued with a sense of superiority and an everlast- ling praising of the fatherland that amounted to boosting of what they could do in a military way. We per haps laughed at them or ridiculed them, until today we are awake to the fact that their boosting was not empty words. With things that have happened since this war started, we must all be aware what we are up against. It will take our most stren- uous efforts to break this foes spirit
 and might, if we want to save our liberty and free institutions from be- l ing wrested from us. Shot and shell
 alone will not do it unless we kill
 the last one, for they believe that they are right, and their initial suc-
 cesses gin this war have convinced them in. the belief that they. can con-
 quer the world. We must use other Jweapons besides powder and shot Such messengers as our noble Presi- dents message will have a. more Wholesome effect Son the people o1 Germany than a billion dollars wortf ! of shells, although the two, bring op posite results. The one brings hop.

PLAIN WORDS BY
 A PLAIN CITIZEN

(By Hans Russau, Pipestone, Minn.( |
 Real war has come to our very doors at last. It was denied us to stay out of it. It was not of our seeking, although our foe proclaims that such is the case. He assures us of his friendship and his good will, and at the same time commits acts of war and intrigue against our country in the most fragrant manner. When we protested he made us promises only to be broken again al- most as soon as made.
 We were goaded into this war in spite of ourselves. How could we ] stay out of it and save our honor in the face of the rest of the world that looks up to ds as the standard bearer of humanity and justice? Protesta- Etion proved useless. Our p1eadings for humanitys and civilizations sake were answered with thisi "Our acts
 are necessitated by war. We can not recognize any rules laid down to fight by. We are fighting for our existence. We want place in the sun.''
 I It is immaterial as to the spark
 that ignited the funeral pyre of the
 best nations of the earth, but it is
 important to apprehend the party or 4 ! this confIagration that threatens to
 devour and destroy everything that is good in men; everything that men
 have died for; that cost rivers of
 blood to attain, namely, humanity and l self-government.
 I The desperate vail of Germany ] that it is fighting for existence is true in part. But it is true only of those that are watling. The autocracy and Tits military qualifications that don1i- nate the German peoples destiny are doomed. They are battling for their existence. The common German peo- pie have nothing to fear from any
 source. They have their place in the
 sun. They are respected and admired
 everywhere, and justly so, for they I are a great people. They have in lthe past contributed large share i in the achievements of science, of
 learning, and in every endeavor of mankind for the enlightenment and ibetterment of conditions of human ity in general. This they have done not because of their autocratic form of government but in spite of it. No matter what opinions may be at. the lpresent, in the heat of this strife judgments are apt to be warped, and criticism unjust. What ever may be the result of this struggle, even
 should the German nation be wiped out of existence, no power, on earth
 can rob them of their past achieve
 ments; the work of her scientists her poets. her artists, her singers her philosophers, her educators will live forever, and so will the German peo- | pie. No one thinks of destroying them. The remainder of the world
 loves and admires them too much for that. The world is not against them but for them. They want to save them from their own se1f-destruction
 from autocracy and militarism.
 l The last important citadel of auto
 cracy is struggling to maintain itself,
 and threatens to engulf the rest of
 the world; to spread it's balefulness
 over the earth; to trampIe liberty and self government into the dust To prevent the consummation of this is
 the principal reason that we, the peo- kple of the United States of America,
 have entered this war, reluctantly but determinedly. We do not undar-

Strikes Which Impede War Work Called Off
 in the Boston District

Boston, November 16.-Strikes, which have impeded construction on inpor- tant government war plants in this vicinity for the past few weeks, were called off by the Building Trades Council tonight. The men will return to work tomorrow on all plants af- fected except the s9,o00,000 shipbuild- ing plant at Squantum.
 Labor leaders announced that the action was taken on receipt of defi- mite assurances that representatives of the navy and war departments would confer with them here tomorrow on alleged nonunion conditions at Squan- tum.
 The so-called open shop conditions at Squantum precipitated a series of strikes. which spread to the Water town arsenal, the Boston navy yard, the naval hospital at Chelsea, the fed eral appraisers stores in this city and the magazine station at Hingham. On these jobs 1900 mechanics will resume work tomorrow, but the men will not be ordered back at Squantun. 1t was stated. until the matter has been gone over tomorrow morning at a confer ence between agents of the joint coun- Gil of the Building Trades Unions and Admiral Harris of the bureau of yards and dockets at the navy department, and Stanley King. third assistant sec retary of the war department.
 The decision to resume work, 1t was stated at union headquarters. was reached in spirit of patriotism." aft CT an almost continuous session of seven hours.
