GETTING RID OF ROAD TAR
Must Be Attended To Promptly or
Unslghtly streaks and Spots VIII
Be the Result.

Unless washed Off promptly with
soap and water, road tar will quickly
harden on car, leaving unsightly
streaks and spots. There are several
good ways Of removing 1t. however.
One consists in the application OF but
ter or oleomargarine which will soften
the tar without injuring the varnish
Another good solvent is cocoa butter.

sion for removing grease paint. This
can be purchased at drug stores, and
Is a harmless solvent of all kinds Of
oil and grease, as well as tar.

Every tire has embossed on the side
a serial number. II is important that
the car owner should have q record of
this number In each case and such rec
ord should be made when the tire n
bought.
A lap robe, a gunny sack, or even
some old newspapers will frequently
be enough TO get a car out of deep
sand or mudhole II placed In front Of
the rear wheels to provide traction.
In inspecting the springs attention
should be given to the spring hangers
and other subsidiary parts. Lost mo-
tion, usually side play, often develops
In the spring hangers and shackles.
Motorists frequently overload their

Many drivers do not know how to
take the bumps easily. A good way
is to throw out the clutch and apply
the footbrake gradually.
Watch the wires where they fasten
to the lamps. as the motion Of the car
makes them sway and may cause q
break or short circuit.
Lack Of attention to the way the
rear wheels are running Is a source Of
subsequent financial loss to automo-
bilists.
The total number Of cars registered
In all Of the states during 1919 will
probably be close to 6.500,000.

The sweater, that summer and WIN
ter companion of the outdoor girl. is
no fair-weather friend. But, never
theless, II has taken Its cue from the
suit coat this summer, and is made
In several very attractive styles that
open down the front and demand a
vest or blouse to be worn with them.
These vests are not always OF the sub
stantial kind, but are varied, accord
ing to the demands Of occasion and
weather. Sometimes they are of crisp
organdle and lace and sometimes or
plain weaves In fiber silk. 1t Is the
vest that adapts the sweater coat to
the day and the occasion.
The last word In these attractive
late-summer sweaters Is spoken and
the picture above conveys II to you.
OF the two models shown, the one at
the right Is the most novel. 1t Is made
Of fiber silk, knitted (by machinery
in wonderfully pretty fancy stitch,
with a facing that forms a collar In
a simpler stitch. The belt is knitted
10 match the facing, and one end OF
II slips through slide In the other
end both are pointed and fasten with
n loop over pearl button. The cuffs
and n border about the bottom of the
sweater are knitted in still another
stitch, and narrow band of black in
troduced In them gives q sharp and
brilliant color contrast. This sweat
er is made in several bright colors--

ING Rim Rust.

After driving in wet weather II the
car owner is careful to sponge Off the
tires when he returns to the garage
and then wipes them dry, especially
along the beads, he will do much TO
prevent the formation Of rust. This
advice is particularly applicable dur
ing the spring months Of frequent and
copious rains.

from being unduly strained by heavy
loads.
Dimensions Of Drum.
A solid piece Of oak, about eight
inches In diameter should be turned
out In the shape of cylinder five
Inches long. For large cars this may
be increased in size. Surmount the
drum with disk, somewhat larger, to
act as a rim, and bore a hole in the
opposite end of the drum just large
enough to fit snugly over the hub Of
the wheel. Then make three arms of
strap iron, large enough to reach a
good way up the spokes Of the wheel.
Bolt these ut equal distances around
the circumference of the drum, setting
them In flush.
How Hosting 10 Done.
To operate, back the car up until II
Is near the tackle, and jack Gp the
wheel upon which the drum has Scen
placed. The other wheel must be
blocked so that 1t will not turn. Give
the hauling rope a few turns about
the drum. then apply the power to the
wheel and at the same time pull easily
upon the rope, keeping II taut on the
drum. In this way heavy loads can be
raised that would otherwise be beyond
the ability Of one man to handle.-L. IL

LIKE REAL ORIENTAL RUGS
British Factory Said to De Turning
Out Perfect limitations OF Rars
Eastern ProdustS.

Considerable interest has been
aroused in London over the showing
of q new type of imitation oriental
carpet by Harrod's, Ltd, according
to H. G. Brock, United States trade
commissioner at the English capital.
"The carpets" he writes in . con-
sular report, "are claimed to be e1-
act reproductions of rare Eastern
carpets and are being offered at
prices not much higher than those
Of ordinary loom productions. The
most remarkable feature about them
is considered to be the true render
ing of that Eastern luster which has
hitherto defed successful copying.
Some of the most notable reproduc-
tons are those of the seventeenth
century coronation carpets which
were made for the shah of Persia;
the Khorassan rug, and the famous
carpet manufactured for the Sheik
Ismail, the original Of which hangs
in the Victoria and Albert museum
of London; and there are copies OF
others from the cathedrals and art
galleries of the world. The carpets
vary in size and have all been made
in British factory during the last
three or four years"
w. D. Ager, American agent for
Harrod's, explained that his firm has
secured the exclusive agency for
these rugs in England and has trade
marked them under the name "Ori-
angle" He said that Queen Mary
recently visited the store and placed
a substantial order for these rugs for
her own use.
