Gasket Cutter.

The man who does all the work about
his car will find the little device known
az a gasket cutter OF great help to him.
1t Is almost impossible to cut an accu-
rate gasket with knife or scissors but
with the cutter these little necessities
may be made with absolute accuracy.
A cutting blade is carried on this de-
vice on a sliding bar, so that any sized
gasket may be obtained.

Seems Certain That Soldiers viii
Spread Knowledge Of the Value
of Outdoor Living.

Most OF Us are already planning
what We shall do 'when the boys
come home -
They have been away so long. ON
such a dangerous heroic mission that
when they come back we will love
them more and treat them better than
ever before We viii appreciate them
land take more time from our fool
ish hurrylngS for love and comrade-
ship. We will spend more time enjoy
ing the hnman comlrnionship of the
boys and each other.
But if we spend more time with
them Wen have 10 spend it out Of
doorS-for they won't stay in the
house 10 play.
The men in the army and navy,
drawn from the cooped-np places Of
modern social and industrial life, have
suddenly been taught the uses and de-
lights of plain. everyday fresh air.
They like it so wen that they won't
be content with any other kind. They
have learned what it is TO sleep under
the stars-a joy once reserved TO
tramps and poets. They have watched
the exuberant glory and triumph Of
rosy sunrise and learned the solemn
beauty Of creeping twilights.
in Flanders fields where poppies
grow they have learned a new and
mighty language of the common grass
and flowers. and thrill TO the song Of
the lark that braves the battlelieluS
as they never thrilled TO solemn or
gan tones.
4 day in June or October is more
TO them than n square on the calen-

and air, and work and play, and
friendship and service--a glorious
period Of full use of mind and soul
aud body--for splendor of living un-
I guessed in the old cooped-up life of
] indoors.
: The soldiers have learned that out
doors is not just an interlude between
work and home and amusement Out.

piness--and if we want TO work and

have to follow them out-of-doors.--
