Every autoist should carry in his
kit a piece OF Sand paper tackled TO a
cylindrical block or wood three
inches in diameter and about a foot
long This comes in very handy for
cleaning up punctures in the inner
tubes. Small pieces OF wood with
sand-p paper attached are also often
OF value.

Joy riding is on the increase owing
to the warm weather. but this men
ace can be avoided to a great ex-
tent by proper care on the part of the
owner to see that his car is always
locked before leaving it. Joy riders
as rule take only those cars that
they can make a quick getaway in.
They know little of the methods OF
starting locked cars, as do the more
criminal class who steal for profit.

THIS TIRE LIKE A TANK;
CAN'T TREAT IT TOO ROUGH

Automobile tires are often called
upon to perform stunts for which they
were never intended. and suffer more
abuse and neglect than any other part
OF a car. but IL Is doubtful II a tire
has ever been required to complete a
performance such as one reported
from Melbourne. Australia.
In a recent fire in a chocolate fac
tory in that city a number OF Hupmo-
bile cars standing in an adjoining
garage were overwhelmed in the fall
OF a brick wall. So sudden and ter
rifle was the impact in this instance,
that an automobile wheel upon which
was mounted a Goodyear tire, was
forced through a hardwood floor
without damage to the tire.

Most Of the ills OF the motor car
are indicated by audible symptoms.
A weaving noise in the differential
case may be taken as an indication
that the master bevel gear of the
unit is running out OF alignment. A
slight catch. which occurs several
times during each revolution of the
driving wheels. is the sign OF a ship

In summer when the heat causes
rapid evaporation OF gasoline. tiny
leaks in the fuel line often escape
discovery. In some cases this will be
enough to account for a sudden cut
ting down OF the mileage per gallon.
So in cases where the relative mile
age shows a sudden drop, it is well
to inspect the fuel line for small
leaks.

This is the time OF year when own
ers of new cars need to be reminded
that more harm may result to the
vehicle in the first 500 miles OF run
ming than in all the rest of its life.
After the car has been run a couple
of hundred miles, the driver should
go over il and take up slack in bolts
and bearings. Pistons should have
excessive lubrications during the
wearing in period. The universal
points must be kept fully fabricated
during the early running OF the car.
A astitch at this time saves not nine,
but nineteen.

The coming biennial village elec-
tion to be held the fourth Tuesday ia
April is becoming topic Of interest
about town and the matter OF select.
ing candidates for trustees is being
oroached. There is some uncertainty
as to what the recent legislature may
have done concerning method and
time OF nominating tickets and
registering voters for village elections;
also, as to the time OF holding the
election. However City Attorney
E4bers is endeavoring to obtain
Information regarding the new
statutes and expects to have some
thing dehnite sometime next week
In the meantime the town board
has appointed the village clerk to
register voters and to provide the
necessary election supplies. A num-
ber Of citizens are dutifully seeking
men who can be persuaded to serve
the village as trustees. If enough
willing men can be found one or more
tickets Of i've may be placed in nomi-

TO recent legislation and war depart
ment requirements. To that end, he

At present these companies are
purely home guard units without

cerned. These companies are com
posed of business men and were
guard companies were united into the
Second Idaho for overseas service, and
are largely comprised of men who
would not be available under the
draft law for federal military service.
1t is thought possible that the com
panles, as they now exist, will have
to be disbanded and complete new
organization effected.
