bring about the racing boom that auto
mobile men predict for 1919. He is
one of the picturesque figures Of the
war, and his mere entry undoubtedly
will draw thousands to the tracks.
'Rlck's' exploits won him decora-
ton after decoration. War censorship
allowed only the news of his repeated
victories to reach this country, but
since the armistice wonderful tales Of
his daring have come across the ocean.
1t Is known he has received the Dis
tinguished Service Cross with four oak
leaves. equivalent to five citations; the
French Croix de Guerre. and the dec
Grafton of the Legion of Honor. He
may have been honored even further,
but those decorations were officially
reported.
Capt. Rickenbacker enlisted early in
1917. His; first work after reaching
France was job as chauffeur to Gen.
Pershing. That proved too slow for
the daredevil of the speedways and he
secured transfer to aviation. After
completing his course of instruction in
April, 1918, he won his title Of "ace"
in one month by bringing down five
German planes. Then victories came
so. fast that "Rickenbacker downs an
other Hun" was headlined in the
papers every little while.

RUBBER WATER CONNECTIONS.
It Is Well to Occasionally Inspect Hose
for Distractions Vibration
May Cause Break.

When cleaning out the radiator it
is well to occasionally inspect the con-
dition of the rubber hose connections
in the water circulation system, for
distractions not infrequently develop
at these places. If glycerine anti
freezing mixture has been used, or
my kind of radiator dope. the interior
of these rubber connections is very
likely to be injured, as many of these
substances so affect rubber that the in
terror surface of the connection Is
softened and loosened; and the vibra-
ton of the car is liable to cause pieces
of rubber to break away. When this
occurs the loose pieces lodge at the
narrow points in the passages and seri-
ously diminish the flow of the cooling
water. Whenever one of these rubber
connections feels soft and flabby, or
appears to have breaks in the body of
the tubing, the connection should be
removed and carefully examined and
at the same time the passage should
be tested to see that the flow Of water
is not misunderstanding Ameri-
can.

KEEP HOOD FINISH BRIGHT
About Only Way Of Eliminating Dull
Condition Is to Line With
Sheet Asbestos.

b Many car owners have had the ex-
perience of having the finish of the
hoods of their new cars suddenly be-
come dull, while the rest of the car is
still glistening in It's newness. When
the hood finish once gets dull 1t is al.
most impossible to bring back the shine
without refinishing it. The dullness
comes, Of course, from the engine heat.
Some owners make the mistake OF
washing the hood while 1t Is hot, ard
this increases the dull effect. About
the only way Of eliminating this con-
dition is to line the hood with sheet
asbestos, which is comparatively cheap.
The work is not difficult and can be
carried out by the owner himself.

tomobile mems great hero of the war;
Rickenbacker Is Americas air cham
pion. In the final summing up Of the
aviation records he was officially cred
tied with bringing down twenty-six
German planes.
One story from lover there" relates
that he fired the last shot of the war;
The story states he was flying over
the German lines at 10 so on the
morning of Nov. II, and that he kept
his hand on the trigger of his machine
gun for just sixty seconds, driving
Germans helterskelter until the min
ute was up and the war ended.
Capt. "Rick" was leader of the Oath
aero pursuit squadron. In n recent
letter he said that on the day the ar
mlstice went into effect his squadron
was transferred from the First army
to the Third army, and was the only
pursuit squadron in the American fly
ing service to accompany the Army Of
Occupation. This unit was credited
with bringing down sixty-nine German

TREE PUZZLE TO FORESTERS
Peculiar Formation Of Spruce Has
Caused Speculation Among Men
Learned In That Lc.e.

A cross section of a great old spruce
tree from Alaska tells the story of a
tree which executed spin, like a bal
let dancer. This cross section shows
q most peculiar spiral structure, which
has caused a great deal OF speculation
among the various foresters through
out the country and very interesting
explanation is advanced In American
Forestry.
1t Is known that tree growing at a
slant forms on the lower side of the
trunk dense reddish wood known as
"rOtholz." This spiral I'm this case Is
OF such sort. and MS II is continuous
formation, winding from the center to
within half an inch from the circum-
ference, II is surmised that IL was
growing In an inclined position on the
edge OF glacier, where by some
shifting II was caused 10 rotate, so
that all sides of the tree were success
sively on the downward side. Thus,
as the tree grew. and its rotation con.
tinued slowly. the "rotholz" developed
INTO a spiral.

EARTH'S RICHEST RUBY MINES
Center Of Worlds Store Of Precious
Stones 10 Known to Be Located
In Upper Burma.

The worlds ruby center Is Mogok, In
upper Burma, some 70 miles north OF
Mandalay. Here are the great ruby
mines, one Of Burma's most valuable
monopolies. says the London Weekly
Telegraph. Indeed, not only does this
country produce the finest Of these
coveted gems, but they are recovered
In such quantities as to enable her to
dominate the market.
Few are aware that, weight for
weight, ruby Is more valuable than
diamond. 1t Is estimated that one the
color Of pigeons blood. weighing FIVE
carats. will sell for ten times the value
Of diamond Of the same weight. Fur
thermore, the price increases with the
size Of the stone.
AS the "byOn." or earth containing
the coveted gems, is taken from the
ground 1t Is placed I'm a great revolving
tub. Here II is screened and all loose
earth removed by water. The residue
is then tipped on the sorting table. A
white Overseer carefully examines the
pile, selecting the true gems from the
worthless debris. II he's lucky he may
at one sorting find gems worth many
thousands of dollars. while on the 9TH
er hand the yield may be but hun
dred dollars or two. The yearly out
put OF rub!cs from these mines totals
about $4OO,OOO.

DES0LATE CITY is NlSRAPUR
Home OF Writer Of the Rubaiyat One
Of the Most Forbidding Spots
on Earth.

The isolated city oT Nishapur, In
Persia, was the home of the Persian
best known OF all his nation 10 the
western world-Omar, surnamed
khayyam, or the Tentmaker author
OF the Rubaiyat. The poet is still one
Of the great historic figures in his an
cient city, but he is remembered there
not as poet or a tentmaker but as a
sage, philosopher, astronomer and
mathematician.
Nishapur lies In a barren upland
plain, many days overland journey
from the nearest railroad point. 1t is
>encircled by mountains, most of which
are low and barren. The northern
range, however, rises to n consider
able height, and through many months
Of the year its peaks are white with
snow. The lower slopes have Gu
riOus reddish tint, due to iron in the
earth, so that rare and delicate color
combinations are formed at dawn and
twilight.
Looking southwark from his city,
Omar saw a level, featurelesS plain,
depressingly treeless, save for here
and there clump Of slender poplars.
The winter turned II to lifeless gray !;
In the admmer, pitiless sunlight and
choking dust tormented the eyes. Only
for brief spring season did the fresh
green of growing crops, the cool mists
that rose after the early rains and
the rainbow CLEANS, Of pale color from
the mountains lend the vista II
melancholy charm. Beyond the plain
rose another row Of low hills, and be-
yond that, he knew, stretched the end
less desert. Each year a few weeks
of Joy and beauty; between mountain
and desert few miles Of half kindly
man-tilled earth-bits of respite that
hardly broke the hostile round OF ma
ture-it Is easier to understand the de-
fant pessimism Of the Rubaiyat after
seeing Nishapur. - Chicago Daily

a PROFiTiESS ADVENTURE

New York Times-We somewhat de-
liberately predict that in some not
very distant day, toward the close OF
the century, when the career and the
great achievements of Woodrow Will
son will be within the common knowl'
edge of every intelligent American,
the diligent student of the history or
the great war and the peace that fol-
lowed it who shall seek information
concerning the men in the United
States senate who have set themselves
in opposition to the treaty and the es-
tablishment of the league OF nations
will find in the most comprehensive
dictionaries of American biography
nothing more than an arid record of
the facts that they once existed and
held office. At least they gain no title
to enduring fame by their present OBJ
structive proceedings in the senate.
Men cherish the memory of builders
of great works, they are content that
destroyers shall pass into darkness
and oblivion 1t is a work altogether
of destruction in which these republi-
cans are engaged.
No man, no party, ever reaped
profit and advantage from such bar
rem adventure, and not merely bar
rem but odious. The whole world
stands expectant upon the eve Of
peace, peace for which it has so
longed, and only in the United States
senate are heard the voices OF men
who would delay peace and prolong
the war. These republican senators
would nullify the decisions reached
after such arduous labors in Paris,
they would shatter the whole fabric
there erected as the future home of
the worlds hope and security. They
would detach the United States from
all concern with the peace and happi-
ness of the rest of the world, they
have made themselves advocates OF
policy of "scuttle," repudiating all
the responsibilities we have assumed
in the war, Responsibilities which our
part in the conflict has made our heri-
tage.
And this miserable proceeding in
the senate has the most miserable of
motives, the desire to discredit and
do harm to the leader of the party
to which these men are opposed. For
that assertion we have excellent re-
publican authority.
