DR.. Scott, Expert Rifleman,
] Invents Anti-U-Boat Shell

as 1t is loaded with a powerful .ex-
plosive.
DR.. Scott was one of the first
coaches Of the u. s. Marines, and in
that capacity put them on the map"
as wonderful marksmen. He is
proud of their late achievements in
France. and predicts all sorts of
success from the soldiers of the
sea-" especially when they run up
against an equal number of the
boasted shock troops" of the Huns.
DR.. Scott Is willing to wager all
kinds of odds that his beloved Ma
rines will make the shock troops
look like the breaking up of a
hard winter whenever they come
together.
I'm most too old to get in the
game" he declared, "and IL I can
perfect a shell like the one 1 think
I have, that will avoid the neces-
sity for a destroyer to chase after
a U-boat several miles before it
can reach the spot where it dis
appeared and droop a depth bomb.
1 shall feel that have done my
bit""

Food Administration, today made
the following statement
The recent request for conser-
walton OF beef is a temporary meas
ure to deal with a temporary sit

THE Food Administration is hav-
ing difficulty in getting for overseas
shipment the grade OF beef which
1t Is most economical to ship. 1t
has been necessary somewhat to re-

postpone certain orders. In order
to get the higher grade of beef,
conservation was particularly asked
OF hotels and public eating places.

MANY women have become addicted
to the pajama habit and pajamas are
beginning to crowd. nightdresses in
the good graces of the up-to-date young
woman. Already manufacturers are
turning out variety Of them in cot
ton and in silk fabrics. They are
made In two pieces with more or less
fancy coats and Jackets and in the
plain original model borrowed from
the masculine garment. But the tend
ency is away from the severe type TO
the more feminine and frivolous styles.
In the picture a one-piece model OF
f1esh-colored wash satin is shown. IL
appeared at the Style Show recently
held at Chicago, and it's lure caused
many a good dollar to pass from buy
ers Of apparel to the manufacturer OF
this particular garment. These buyers
know it's lure will coax more dollars
out of the purses of dainty and luxury
loving women.
Wash satin lingerie seems an ex-
travagance, but in the long run 1t can
not be considered so. The satin
proves to be very durable and the ma
ture of this material precludes the use
of a lot Of fragile but useless trim
mings. Hemstitching, fine tucks,
French knots, and durable lace edg-
ings prove the best choice for trim
ming satin lingerie, and they last as
long as the things they decorate.
The pajnmas pictured are cut with
a kimono body joined to very full PAN
falcons held by a fiat elastic band to

Summer smock.

1t would be impossible to create d
more artistic garment for summer
wear than the smock. Young girls and
slender women find 1t exceptionally
becoming. The loose and straight but
pliable lines of the smock conceal and
even beautify defects, Stimulating a
pleasant roundness of figure. The ma
terials used for them range from cal
leo to georgette crepe. One very prac-
teal smock is very much like a large
allover apron, for 1t buttons on the
shoulders, is very long and shows
huge pockets capable Of holding any
necessary articles, from knitting to
farming implements.

In the issue of the Central Division
Bulletin of the American Red Cross OF
August % the following article ap-
pears:
Women of Cheerful Disposition for
Hospital Hut Service Abroad.
Several hundred American women,
whose dispositions are of the cheerful
variety, are wanted for work in the
Red Cross hospital huts in France.
The cheerful disposition proposition
is an essential requisite, for the reason
that their duty will be to spread cheer
among the boys who are convalescing
after wounds received on the battle
field or from attacks of illness.
The bureau of personnel of the
American Red Cross already has en-
rolled $50 of these workers, while 44S
is the number estimated as necessary
to be supplied before the first of jan
uary, 1919. The Red Cross commits
sioner to France, in cablegram call
ing for these hospital hut workers,
specifying some Of the qualifications
required, suggested that the women
chosen should be those who are keen
on entertainment. Lots Of music, read
ing aloud, and all that sort of thing
help to make the recovery of wounded
and sick soldier boys much quicker
than otherwise would be the case.
Everything that keeps up spirits and
turns thoughts in a channel that pre-
vents one Of the bitterest Of all all
-homesickness-is godsend.
The American Red Cross intends
that there shall be no lack Of enter
tainment and good cheer "over there"
and 1T is particularly desired therefore
that the call for hospital hut workers
be complied with according to sched-
ule. Those who volunteer for this
service will be expected to remain
abroad for at least year.
1t is desirable that applicants be
able to pay their own expenses, but In
cases of exceptional qualifications the
Red Cross will pay living expenses In
France. Transportation to and from
France win be furnished by the Red
Cross.
There should be no mistaken notion
that this hospital hut service Is easy

RUST IS AN ENEMY TO TIRES
Rims Should Be Carefully Cleaned
With Emery and Japanned to
Prevent Deterioration.

It will pay the motorist to inspect
occasionally the condition Of the rims
on the wheels Of his car, especially II
the outer surfaces Of the castings near
the beads look rusty.
This discoloration is rust caused by
rusted rims, and rust if not arrested
will gradually eat through the rubber,
attacking the canvas of the tire. In
time the edges of the rusted rims will
become more and more uneven, tearing
and eventually destroying the beads.
Furthermore, rust works in between
the beads and the rims, leaving space
for water, which also damages the rub
Der.
To remove rust from a rim, the tire
should be taken off and the rusty parts
rubbed clean with coarse emery paper.
Then smooth the surface with finer
emery paper and re-japan the rim, ap-
plying one coat to the outside and two
to the inside, making sure first that
the surface is smooth and free from
rust.

Braid Much Used.

Braid is going to be very much used
this autumn. There is real wartime
reason for this, as braid is something
that covereth a multitude of sins and
makes quick work of giving smart
and neat finish to all sorts of tailored
frocks, coats and suits. There is a
kind of double, folded braid that may
easily be applied to the edge Of
sleeves, tunics or skirts, giving them
complete finish with the minimum of
work. The home dressmaker will do
well to make use Of this new vogue
for braid. OF course, braid is not al
ways used as a labor-saving device,
for in many of the new and smart
suits very elaborate system of braid
trimming is carried out, often more
than one sort of braid being combined
In one design.

Interest In PIaids.

Perhaps 1t is through the influence
Of the Scotch kilties, who have ap'
peared at various times in our Ameri'
can cities to remind us that the kins'
men of Bruce and Wallace are among
our allies, that we have revived our
interest in plaids. Perhaps 1t is just
because bright colors are in vogue as
a Commemorative against the grimness
Of war, or perhaps it Is just time that
plaids returned to vogue-they 90
periodically, do they not? At any rate
some of the most interesting of the
new separate skirts are made fron'
Scotch plaid and some Of these skirtn
are made Lug. pleated designs to carry
out the idea of the highlander.

MAKING GOOD crust JOINT"
Directions Given for Making Reason
ably Satisfactory Job Where
Welding Is Not Possible.

1t is possible to make fairly salts
factory repair of a cracked water
jacket or of fault in a casting, by
what is known as trust joint" To
perform this operation take ten parts
Of fine iron filings, one part of sal
ammoniac, and half part of flowers of
sulphur; mix all these ingredients
into paste with water and apply to
the fracture, allowing the compound
to become hard. OF course the ideal
repair for this sort Of thing is weld
ing, but this operation Is not always
possible and the above makes rea-
sonably satisfactory temporary repair.

SEE BACKF|R|NG
AS AUTO DANGER
It Is Well to Be on Guard at All
Times and Eliminate Cause
of Trouble.
PUT BLAME ON Lean MIXTURE
carburetor Gets Out of Adjustment In
Some Way and Mischief Is Done
There May Be Some Electro
cal Troubles.

Backfring in the carburetor Is dam
gerous to the car, as it is likely to set
the automobile on fire. Cars have been
burned from that cause in the past and
similar accidents are bound to happen
again. 1t is well to be on guard and
eliminate the cause Of backfiring.
The most frequent cause is a lean
mixture. This means more air In the
mixture than usual. The carburetor
gets out of adjustment in some way
and the mischief is done. A lean mix
ture is slow burning. 1t burns during
the power stroke, during the exhaust
stroke, and is still burning when the in
let valve opens, admitting the fresh
mixture. This takes fire and the flame
runs back to the carburetor. If gaso-
line is dripping from the carburetor a
heavy vapor is formed, extending I'M
der the engine, where 1t is held by the
mud pan. The flame spreads under
the engine and soon reaches the tank,
melting the connections and releasing
a flood of gasoline.
Causes Of Lean Mixture.
Lean mixture may be due to derange-
ment Of the carburetor or leaky inlet
manifold. Some of the causes may be
the spray nozzle too far closed, aux
Hilary air valve spring too weak, or
valve open, or a clogged fuel line. A
leaky inlet manifold may be detected
by running the engine and injecting oil
around the points. Oil will be sucked
in at the leak where the bolts must be
frightened or a new gasket installed In
place of the 1eaky one.
Troubles of the inlet valve are rare.
The valve litter may be out Of adjust
ment, leaving no clearance, or actually
pushing the valve off its seat. If there
is little or no clearance the valve will
hold compression when the engine is
cold, but will leak when the engine
warns up, due to frightening of the
valve stem, and, Of course, popping in
the carburetor occurs Immediately. Set
the clearance at about two thicknesses
of newspaper. Occasionally this valve
may become stuck so that 1t cannot
close. This may be seen from the out
side as there will be an unusually large
space between the valve stem and
litter.
Electrical Troubles.
There may be electrical troubles.
With single coil and distributor sys-
tenn, as used on the majority Of cars,
there would be some distributor trou-
BILE or q short circuit Of the distributor
wires. See that all wires are properly
insulated and wipe all dust from the
distributor head. If you know how to
open the distributor you should wipe
out the inside occasionally, using a
cloth dipped in gasoline. This will re-
move all accumulations Of dust. which
will cause short circuit If allowed to
remain.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1918-10-10
To Cool Radiator.

Another novelty Of the moment is a
little circular fan to be attached to
the radiator cap. Wind pressure
whirls the fan as the car is driven thus
creating suction at another opening
on the opposite side OF the rim. The
holes are connected with a hollow
shaft passing down into the radiator,
the idea being to draw heated air out
Of the radiator at one part and drive
cool air into 1t at the other.

KEEPING SPARK PLUGS CLEAN
Many Car Owners Do Not Realize I'M
portance Of Preventing AccumuIa-

Many car owners do not realize the
Importance Of keeping the spark plugs
clean. The points of the plug seldom
need cleaning, but grease and mineral
dirt do accumulate on the exterior and
interior of the porcelain, so that the
current passes that way instead of
jumping the gap, AS Is intended. The
plugs should be kept clean or ignition
troubles will result.

is run in casing sewed to the inside

Radiator compounds are excellent to
