Americas ace Of aces. Capt. Ed
ward Victor Rickenbacker, Is the au-
tomobile mems great hero of the war.
Rickenbacker Is Americas air cham
pon. In the final summing up of the
aviation records he was officially cred
tied with bringing down twenty-six
German planes.
One story from "over there" relates
that he fired the last shot of the war.
The story states he was flying over
the German lines at 10 30 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 hclter.skelter until the min
ute was up and the war ended.
Capt. "Rick" was leader Of the Oath

letter he said that on the day the ar
mistce went into effect his squadron
was transferred from the First army
TO the Third army, ana was the only
pursuit squadron In the American fly

Occupation. This unit was credited
with bringing down slxty-nine German

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

Many car owners have had the eX-
nerience 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 Its newness. When
the hood finish once gets duh II Is al
most impossible to bring back the shine
without refinishing 1t. 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-
ditlon 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.
