TO PROPERLY CUT GAsKETs
Plan Which VIII Be Found Convent
ent for Owners of Cars-Frayed
Edges Avoided.

Everyone who owns a car has had
difficulty with cutting gaskets. Try
this method the next time: Put the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., felt, paper, ETC.
over the hole for which it 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 frayed edges that are
so annoying.

RULES FOR RADIATORS

The radiator takes so little
care that we are likely to give it
even less than it requires. Here
is a simple rule which will give
good results:
1. Keep it full, especially with
a thermo-syphon cooling system.
The less the water, the less the
cooling effect and the worse for
the motor by overheating.
2. Keep it full when using al
cohol in wintey. The smaller the
volume Of mixture, the sooner 1t
boils and evaporates.
8. Keep it full.

''All right, I'm game, We'll call her

toward the shop, Helen's citation was

the woman would not consider twenty

"One of those smart little shops

mented Warren, as they approached
the window to which the three hats
and the green velvet curtain gave an
air of eXclusiveness.
The French woman could hardly re-
strain a smile of satisfaction when she
saw Helen re-enter, for she felt sure
of the sale now

Warren is Obdurate.
The woman almost spulttered in her

that the feather alone cost her more
than that. But Warren was unmoved.
He wrote the hotel address on his card
and gave it to her with a brief:
There's my address. Well be at
the hotel at six o'clock. If you want
to have the hat there at that time C..

But that's impossible. sirl To ac-

Marriage of George Koch.

Announcement cards have been re-
ceived by the friends of George Koch
of his marriage on December to Miss
Helen Cooksey at her home in Homer,
o., at 10 o'clock in the morning.
The bride is a graduate of the Ohio
University and the bridegroom is a
graduate in the engineering course in
Columbia University, New York city,
and member of the Phi Gala Sigma
Fraternity. He is also a member of
the University Club of the Palisades,
for Mr. George Koch has been resi-
dent in Grantwood nearly all his life,
and his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Koch, still live there and are identified
with the social life of the borough,
both being members of the In a Circle
Card Club, while Mrs. Koch is men,
Der and ex-president of the Woman's
Club of Cliffside Park and the presi-
dent of the Comedy Club.
Mr.. George Koch, since his hOnora-
BILE discharge from the "tank" service
in the army, of which he was a vOlun-
teer, has been engaged in large plant
in Ohio, working along chemical engi-
neering lines, and has made rapid prog
ress in the company, so that he is now
engaged in building new plant in
Utica, o.
While out there he met Miss Cook
sey, and his engagement was recently
announced, followed by his marriage
on Friday, which he chose because it
was his fathers birthday and next best
to the Christmas time, which was the
first choice, but which was abandoned
when he found it impossible to leave
his business and come home for the
wedding trip, the honeymoon being
spent instead at Columbus, whence the
young couple will go to Utica to their
own apartment to keep house, and are
planning to come east some time be-
fore February.
