THE EXPERTS SAY.

Here is an argument for the carry
ing of cigarettes, even by the mo-
torist who does not smoke them:
When far from a repair shop, two
motor travellers one day discovered
that the radiator was leaking to such
an extent that they had to stop at
all too frequent intervals along the
road and procure a pail OF water to
replenish the supply. All efforts to
stop the leak were of no avail. until
one of the party hit upon the idea
Of breaking up several cigarettes and
putting the shreds of tobacco into
the radiator through the filler neck.
Three cigarettes were sacrificed to
this experiment, and in a few mo-
had had time to carry the tobacco
to the points of leakage in the
radiator core. the loss of water stop
ped and the motorists had no further
trouble from this source, the tobacco
shreds serving to stop up the cracks
1t was several days later before there
was an opportunity to have the
radiator core repaired, but we have
the motorists word for it that even
then there was no appreciaole leak
age, so effective was the makeshift
repair material.
The polished surface of the best of
patent feathers will crack. This sur
face is an enamel. and an enamel Is
yet to be made that will stand
continued bending strain.
Rut So long the cracks 90 not
extend through the leather itself
there is no occasion to despair. An
application or two OF leather re-
newer, intended to renovate not only
patent leather shoes. but All kinds OF
worn, discolored or shabby automo-
bile and furniture upholstery, tops,
handbags, etc. whether made OF
leather or leather substitutes. Will
cover the cracks in the enamel and
| make the shoes really presentable
again.
1t produces a waterproof, glossy
black finish that will not rub of. 1t
is very easily applied by any one.
It takes some men about twice az
long to pump up a tire with a hand
how. Short, jerky strokes that only
| bring the plunger part way up the
| barrel of the pump are the kind that
quickly tire one out and require q
much longer time TO I'LL the TIRE. SAO"
| ly pull the plunger all the way ur
to the top of it's stroke and then
| force it down again firmly and evenly
| to the bottom of the cylinder. BY
doing this you get the benefit Of the
! full cylinder volume of air and the
work becomes much less strenuous
| with more real accomplishment.
In teaching his wife to drive
motorist found that she was having
| great difficulty in remembering the
several gearshift positions, and as a
result was slowing up her shifting
considerably due to having to stop

which. He hit upon the idea of EN-.
| ploying some small metal numbers
such as might be used for small signs
and the like. Procuring 1, 2, 3 and
