AS war gardening has taught many
citizens the joy OF getting back to
the soir' so war necessity may teach
automobile owners the delights Of be-
ing a handy man about the car"
Just as spading. hoeing and wedding
no longer are terrors to thousands.
so oiling and taking up" loose nuts
ought shortly to be an unquestioned
part of the car owners spare-hour
work.
The car owner can shift at least a
| part of an ever-increasing burden
from the harassed automobile repair
man to himself. If the owner can
bring himself to a realization Of the
| useless waste of labor (under war
conditions) on non-essential repairs
he will have cleared the floor Of the
service station for unavoidable jobs
These are the essential Jobs. and the
repairman unquestionably owes his
time to these first.
For the period of the war, at least
the day has passed when the owner
can rightfully allow himself to use
day to sixteen hours in order to satis-
fly a repair whim. A car on the road
is doing work, but a car in the re-
pair shop is throwing the transpor-
tation of from one to five people on
an overburdened transportation sys-
tenn. Unavoidable repairs can be has
tened by the patriotic elimination OF
non-essential jobs.
In reality, the modern car Is usually
simple from the maintenance point OF
view. If the owner will but read the
instruction book which he received
with the car. or can secure gratis
from the manufacturer. he can be-
come thoroughly acquainted with his
friend, the motor. Much unsuspected
| romance will be uncovered. and ro-
nance is always pleasant and satisfy

At no time during the war has the i'm.
portanee of wheat been gNater than at
this moment. Every ounce of saved
wheat is contribution to our fighting
forces. Never before has it been SO pos
sible for the civilian to lend such direct
and vital aid to his cause.
Direct orders for the family should be
formulated by every patriotic housekeep-
er. In place of bread for dinner she
should demand of her household that
they eat more potatoes, or-for variety
rice, as a vegetable, or hominy grits.
Breakfast should begin the day not by
the breaking of bread but by the serving
Of oatmeal. cornmeal mush. or prepared
non-whest products. And the housewife
must serve these breakfast cereals not
apart from the eggs OF coffee, but with
them, 80 that the lack Of bread will be
met quite obviously.
At luncheon, any bread served should
be quite wheatless. and if potatoes are
