MUCH MAIL IS HANDLED

From Great Lakes Bulletin)
 Reports on the amount of mail han died at the Great Lakes Naval Station each week issued Monday morning for the week previous. have shown for the last two months q steadily increasing number of letters received and dis patched each week.
 This is mainly due to the rapid growth of the station. although Great Lakes sailors receive even more than their due share of the mail in com parison with other cities of fifty thous- and. Chief Mail Clerk F. C. Burr said the other day
 The report issued for the week end ing August IS, shows that 1,340,00 letters and postcards were mailed and received by sailors. This is a sub stantial increase over the previous week. which held the best previous record. In addition to this amount 3,236 registered letters and parcels were received.
 Owing to the rapid increase in the station mail, the personnel of the de- partment has been added to recently and at the present time 162 men are attached to the main station and outly- ing branches.
 Mail except on the main station. is delivered to mail orderlies appointed for each company. This applies also to the various schools on the main station. This system. instead of the general delivery window system is necessary on the station through the enormous amount of mail handled

Prescotts leading automobile deal CT, Mir Bill Lowthiau is in Phoenix on business, glad 10 avail himself of rthe warm sunshine of the Salt River valley. He says Prescott has had more than it's share Of snow the past winter. drifts still remaining on the north sides of buildings and fences 10 the depth of five and six feet where it has not had the sun 10 melt it. The temperature though, has never been extremely low and there has been no actual suffering on account Of really cold weather. Lowthian says there has not been a day that the Cadillacs have not been able to run, taking the long grind to Verde and Jerome through the worst of the snowy weather. He says, Nothing will stop a Cadulac-no weather has yet been made bad enough nor no man rough enough 10 tear one up." On account of this excess snow and consequent watering of the range, MT. Lowthian says all the COW and sheep men are optimistic on the seasons outlook. Skull Valley, he says, reports a fine. mild winter with a splendid feed prospect.

THE ROMANCE OF DIAZ
tF'rom Mexico by Mrs, Alec
 Tweedie. George H. Doran Co.,

CFrom Mexico by Mrs. Alec
 Tweedie, George H. Doran Co.,
 Despite his success. his popularity and power President Diaz-after the death of his first wife. Delphina V Reyes-stood absolutely alone. He confided in no man. planned his flu ture life and dreamed great dreams in solitude. But at the right hour Diaz met, fell desperately in love with. and in the spring of 1883 took his second wife, Carmen de Rubio-she being a beautiful girl of 14 and he man Of 5. Without doubt Mine Diaz. or Carmelita, as the Mexicans called her. was Of inestimable help to her hus- band. As a woman of immense tact, fond of society and mixing freely with ambassadors and foreigners, she learned by personal contact the feel ings of other countries. Gradually but completely-and always for good she influenced his life: they re- mained chums and friends. aye, yer itable lovers. through their long mar rieed years till his death in 1915.
 Of high birth and liberal education. Mime. DiaZ in manner and figure somewhat resembles our Queen Alex andra. She is of medium height and pretty figure, with neat hands and feet and lovely eyes; and in looks was always said to be like the beau tiful, darkeyed Empress Eugenie in her earlier days.
 President Diaz himself was of me dium height, solidly built with sol dierly bearing and court~ manners. He had deepset eyes. with heavy eye brows, a bright complexion and a deep, melodious voice. Although somewhat silent by nature anl serious by habit, he had a keen sense Of humor and thoroughly enjoyed a joke

LOOK LIKE TOY BOATS

(Eleanor Franklin Egan in the Satur
 day Evening PosD
 When Saint Paul was shipwrecked in the Aegean sea the chronicler of the incident wrote that flooring lest we should have fallen ,-~on rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day The British inspector general Of communi- cations in Mesopotamia liked 10 refer to this, and he read somewhere once that because anchoring by the stern is against all nautical procedure this passage engaged the earnest attention of the wise men who made the King James version of the bible, and there was much discussion about it.
 The wording of it was regarded as either a mistake in the original trans lation or slip of the pen on the part of the writer. But the subject hay ing been referred in all solemnity to certain savants of the East was inn mediately dropped when it was learned that many ships ply up and down the Aegean coast and on the in- land waters of the ancient and un- changing world behind it that are l identical as to bow and stern and can anchor either way
 They are exactly like the toy boats you make for your little son out ot sheets of notepaper. You use a match or toothpick for a mast and a square bit of paper for a sail, and there you have it-an exact replica in miniature of the boats one sees all up and down the lgris or lying at anchor before the Mesopotamian towns and cities It takes one of these boats 4 month to make the journey from Basra to Bakdad but there are hun dreds of them and they creep up and down, day after day, an endless chain of slow but sure cargo carriers.

THE GOLD FISH
(Newark News)

In days when lightest garments stick adhesively and gall, and in the sky the sun looks like a redhot brazen ball, it's then we think how gratefully our for tupe we would thank if we could just change places with a goldfish in his tank. The goldfish has no work to do. the goldfish wears no clothes The goldfish spends the livelong day in one grand, lazy doze. There's nothing that can worry him. there's not a thing to fret, and all day long he loafs around in water cool and wet
 goldfish never had an engine cin- der in his eye: he never had to walk eight miles beneath q summer sky He never had to ride home in q closed and stuffy car, nor sit upon city porch where flies and beetles are. He never got a sunburn on a sore and tender neck, nor yet has spent a day on an excursion boats hot deck. The gold fish should possess a gay. a glad. con- tented soul. with naught to do but swim inside a cool. transparent bowl When summer days are hot and mug gy how we envy him. with nothing in the world to do but eat and sleep and swim

MOTOR CAR BUYERS
 MUST BE PATIENT

''The motor buying public must have patience in the mattery of delivery" says q. H. Reuben, local dealer in Kissel motor cars. Them auufac- turers are working night and day to catch up with the demand
 We must not forget that the auto mobile industry has virtually been at the front for over year and it is taking time to get back on q normal production basis. We gre just as anxious to make deliveries of cars IS the motor buying public is to have them. There is suoh a big demand for automobiles at the present time that we could very easily treble our quota of. cars and have no difficulty in disposing of them

THE TOP

It is peculiarly timely at this season Of the year with the spring rains just ahead, to remind the car owner that the top should never be folded when it is wet or damp, as this will cause the formation of mildew and ruin the fab- ric. Gasoline should never be used to remove grease or dirt from the top, as it ruins the rubber composition and causes blisters. A leather top should be washed with castillo soap and water, the latter little warm. and a top dressing should be applied

HINT FROM THE RAILWAY

The locomotive engineer frequently uses his hand to determine fabrication failure, and this is a hint that the car owner can put to good use. Failure of fabrication permits excessive friction and friction generates heat. Any part which is discovered to be too hot to the hand held near it is probably suf- fering from faulty fabrication

---V-7---7--- RUNDOWN CELLS

Increased amperage may be secured from partly run down dry cells by crowding the material near the carbon element down with a small bit of wood and a hammer. This loosens the ob- structing material from around the carbon and permits free chemical ac- ton. The asphaltum material may be sealed again by the use of a little heat

HOME MADE VAPORlZER

Wire cloth of the kind used in milk strainers may he used to make a very effective vaporiZer by placing a section of it on both sides of the gasket be- tween the carburetor and the intake manifold. This serves to break up the fuel into finer particles an operation that assists vaporization.

CUTTING BASKETS

Every one who owns a car has had difficulty with cutting Easkets Try this method the next time; Put the ulaterial-asbestos. felt, paper. etc. over the hole for which 1t is being cut. Take ball head hammer and place it on the material over the hole Then tap this first hammer gently with an other hammer and the gasket can be cut without the frsyed edges that are so annoying

CLEAR VISION

Strong soapsuds made from automo- bile soap and rubbed on the glass ot the windshield and allowed to dry will prevent fog or rain from obscuring the vision through the glass. Kerosene is sometimes used for this purpose, but it does not last as long as the above, and glycerine is also recommended.

CREASE LEAKAGE

When grease leakage from the hubs and brakes of the rear axle becomes a chronic falling it may be obviated by drilling quarter inch holes in the un- der side of the housing near the outer ends. The holes permit the excess grease to leak out on the road.

REMOVING DUST FROM MOTOR

A painters brush that is thick and soft will be found better than waste for removing dust from the motor. There are so many small projections that waste is generally a cause of bad language and little else.
