in the A. A. A. driving championship.
When the asst 500-mile ace was run
on the Indianapolis speedway, in l i6.
Captain Eddie set a g%ruelling pace for
% miles that would have run the field
off its feet had he been able to main
tain 1t. Disaster overlook him, how
ever, after he had gained a mile on
the field in ten laps, and a wrecked
engine sent him to the pits.
In the Harvest day meet of the
same year. Captain Rickenbacker and
the late Johnny Aitken raced neck and
neck to win the 100-mile contest that
featured the days program. 1t looked
as though Aitken would lose, when a
wheel collapsed on Rickenbacker's
mount and he spun like a top before
sliding off the course, with Aitken
laundering by. The accident happened
with two laps to go, and was n of
the most spectacular in the history of
the brick track.
Had Many Close Calls.
In spite of his many close calls in
racing and his battles in the air, Cap
tain Rickenbacker has never lost the
smile for which he is famous. The ref
cree of a big rae must contend with
the kicks and complaints of drivers,
team managers, and all the men who
operate the machinery of a big event.
With his ability to remain good ma
tured in the ACE of adversely, and
also because of his intimate knowl-
edge of the racing sport and its rules,
it is believed that he will prove the
most successful referee the Indianapo-
lis track has ever had, with all the
fans pulling for him to make good in
his capacity of chief arbiter.

SUMMER FoRAGEs FOR cows
Plan Recommended by Missouri COL
lege Expert Calls for Seeding
Of Sudan Grass.

A good general plan recommended
by Prof. SWEET, of Missouri Agricul-
tural college, for providing late pas
ture for cows is to plant Sudan grass
about June 1, at the rate Of sixteen
pounds to the acre. This should yield
ten to fifteen tons to the acre and
should be ready for feeding from about
July 10 to August 1. An early matur-
ing variety of soy beans planted at the
rate of thirty pounds to the acre May
30 will be available for feeding from
about August 1 to 20. A good north
ern variety of corn planted about the
middle Of May at the rate of six
quarts to the acre will become avail
able about August 10 and can be fed
whenever needed. The second crop of
Sudan grass will be ready to cut about
August 25 to September 1. Cow peas
planted at the rate of five pecks per
acre about July 1 may be fed from
about August % to September 10.
After this time field corn may be used
at any time. Sorghum crops give good
results during the late summer.

Tea is better than coffee for tint
ing the various shades of cream lace,
because there is less chance of streak
ing. Use a strong solution Of black
tea, and add this to the rinsing wa
ter, dipping 1t once or twice. This
gives a better color than using tea
strong enough to give 1t the right color
the first time 1t is dipped. After lace
has been washed and tinted 1t should
be brought back to its original shape
by pinning on a lean ironing board,
or several folds of a towel. Keep in
mind the shape of the lace as you pin.
and pin 1t so that all the scallops are
the same size. These pins should be
put in very close and the work re-
quires a great deal of patience.

STOP POUNDING OF ENGINES
Trouble May Be Due to Several
Causes, Among Others Imperfect
Electrical Connection.

If a pound in the engine is regular
and continuous, it is likely to be from
lost motion in the bearings. If it is
irregular and occasional, 1t is more
likely to be due to %preignition caused
by incandescent carbon or from imper-
feet electrical connections. If the
pounding is accompanied by OCCASION
al missing. especially If the missing is
more frequent when the car is running
than when the engine is idling, 1t is
more apt to be due to imperfect cleo
trical connections.

Capt. Eddie ~Rickenbacker, known to
fame as Americas ace of aces,'' but
to auto racing fans as "Eddie Rick"
selected to referee the Indianapolis
500-mile Liberty sweepstakes, May 81,
inaugurating the postwar revival of
automobile racing in America, is the
automobile industry's war hero, and
also one of the best-known drivers of
race cars that America ever produced.
Since he forswore the speed game to
dor an army uniform and succeeded
in knocking % Boche planes out of
the sky, he announced that he would
forsake his former love in the field of
automOtive sport and permanently
abide with the new, in which he
achieved his greatest honors.
Like Umplre's Job.
Because he has always been noted
for his square dealing, and because he
has the regard and confidence of all
racing drivers, Carl G. Fisher, presi-
lent of the indianapolis motor speed
way, invited Captain Eddie to become
chief official of the Liberty event. Be
ing the referee of a big ace is just
about as popular a job as umpiring a
holly contested baseball game.
Captain Rickenbacker's war record
is known to almost all race fans, for
they closely followed his career in the
newspapers during the Is months that
he was in France with General Per-
shing's warriors.

CLEAN PARTS WITH KEROSENE
Best Way Is to Use Wire Basket and
Dip Different Parts In OIL, Let
ting Dirt Sink.

1t is often necessary to clean small
parts of the car, and washing in kero-
sene is the accepted method. The
usual practice is to throw such parts
in a pail Of kerosene and let them lie
in the muck which collects at the bot
tom. A better way is to get a wire
basket, which will At part way down
in the vessel used to hold the kero-
sene, place the parts in this basket,
dip them In the oil and allow the dirt
to be loosened and sink to the bottom.
while the parts come out perfectly
clean and ready for use.

Sewing Machine Hints.

When your sewing machine belt be-
comes loose, do not stop to take it off
In order to tighten 1t. Just drop a lit
tie machine oil upon it and you will
find h belt tight after u few turns
of TIT wheel. One sometimes has trou-
BILE because the needle cuts heavy
cotton or linen goods when stitching.
If h to be stitched is rubbed
with hard white soap you will have no
more difficulty.
A Tonic for Sewing Machines.
After some years usage every sew
ing machine is likely to clog up with
fine dust which the machine oil col
lects on the bearings. AS soon as the
machine begins to work heavily, take
out the shuttle and then Civ. each
movable part a generous bath of gas
oline. Work the foot lever briskly, so
that the gasoline may penetrate every
part. The old oil and caked dust will
loosen and fall off in quantities that
will amaze you. Then open the win
dows of the sewing room and let the
fumes of the gasoline escape. OF
course, during this cleaning process,
the machinist will take good care that
there is no lighted gas, lamp or fire
in the o 1t is a good plan then
to let the machine stand without the
usual lubricating oil until you are
ready to use it again. A piece of
chamois should always be kept ON
hand to wipe off the superfiuous oil
before beginning to stitch.
Economy in Machine Needles.
Keep a piece of white soap in the
machine drawer, and when stitching

sELF-LUBRIcATING BusHINe
Comparatively Easy by Drilling Holes
and Packing With Graphite
Every Six Months.

1t is comparatively Easy to make a
self-lubricating bushing for the spring
bolt by drilling, say eight holes, each
3-16 of an inch in diameter through a
new bronze bushing. These holes are
packed with graphite, when the bush
ing is In place. BY removing h
spring bolt every six months and re-
packing the bushing with graphite, a
nearly self-sufficing bushing, as far as
fabrication goes, will result.

Not Strong Enough for Permanent Re-
pair, but viii Suffice In Cases
Of Emergency.

Breakage of a taper pin on a mag
netic d~riveshaft or similar important
part frequently causes delay and an
nOyance to motorists, especially If 1t
occurs or the road, when another taper
pin OF the right size usually is I'M
available. If this is the case a tempo
rary pin may be quickly filed from a
nail or similar piece of stock, which,
while not strong enough for permanent
repair, win suffice for the time 1t takes
