IS TIE CHARGE OF
 BRITISH DRYS
Campaign Opens At Big
 Mineral Springs.

London, Aug. 1. Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-"Pussy- footing is the term the newspapers and British liquor interests have giv- en the campaign to make England dyr, and "pussyfeet' is the title they have given those members of Parlia- ment and American Anti-Saloon Lea que workers who are pressing the movement.
 It has been announced that ther~ is abundant money behind the move ment, and the nucleus of a parlIa- mentary prohibition party has been formed by nine members of the House of Commons to first right for the re tention of war time liquor regula- tion while forming their lines for more drastic action.
 Harrogate, a health resort with some so mineral springs, was selected as the first object of attack, and a number of speakers were sent down there to spread the dry doctrine It was also decided to pay particu- lar attention to Scotland where, un- der new regulations, local option Is possible. Other plans, it was announc- ed, are in the making, and within a year the campaign will be in full swing.
 Most of the newspapers have done nothing but Tidicule the movement, and urge that owing to the climate British men and women ne i stimu lants and would never voluntarily re- linquish their alcohol.
 Lady Henry Somerset, late presi- dent of the British Woman's Tenn peranCe AssocLation, is quoted as ex- pressing the opinion that the prohibit F= chief by making prohibition appear to be the sole alternative to a re- turn to the pre-war position.
 The liquor interests say they have not given the question much atten- ton, preferring to believe that the Trohibition experiment in the United States will fail and therefore there will be no need for action in Eng land.

BAKER DECLARES
 DEM0BEL LIZkTI0N
 WONDERFUL FEAT
Asserts It Ranks Favorably With Great Achieve
 ments of War.

Washington. Aug. SO.-Tne demob- ilizatIou of our army to date was de- Clarcd one of tho greatest accom- plshments of the war by Secretary Baker today on a statement pointing out the comparison between the Isurcs in this war and those of 'gS and 'G5. The Secretary laid particular emphasis upon the great record Of transportation achieved in returning Inc men from France.
 The demobiliEl ton record to date is one of the most splendid successes of the war; said the Secretary. Tt ranks fa vurably with the greatest a movements of the war. In one month alone we brought home more than third of a million men. this with little help from the British and French shipping that had largely been withdrawn at that time. The British and French took more than fifty per cent. of our men overseas, but almost single-handcd we brought back as many as 364,0gO men in the month of June, more men than were ever transported overseas in a single month.
 ''Demobilization during the present war has far eCHpsed the work either of the Civil or the Spanish wars. To date we have brought back from overseas more than 1,SSS,O0O nLsn. We have demobilized all but about 5OO 900 of our four million men.
 "In one month after the signing of the armistice we bad demobilized S51 ,206 men and 1000 officers In 1898 1t took ten months to muster cut 197,397 of the 216.25 officers and men serviving when the A'meri- can forces in that war was at its peak. Certain units were demObilized from the Philippines even later than that. In the Civil War the strength of the volunteer army was 1,O34,O64 when dcmobiIization began. It took from May l, 1865 to November L 1866. or eighteen months to muster out this force. In approximately two and a half months after the aEmistice we had mustered out 1 1,O23,SS4 and t2 900 officers. thus more than equal ling the eighteen month record of the Civil War.

RAINBOW EFFECTS.

Rainbow effects are much in vogue and there are rainbow weddings now at which the bridesmaids all appear in gowns of the same design, but each in a different hue. And there are rainbow party dresses that are much in demand among the younger girls But these rainbows are not al ways of the regulation sort. The peo- pie who plan them have a different color scheme.
 Take for instance a very charming rousseau set offered in one of the smart shops. It contains aside from the usual supply of lingerie, so-called, all sorts of dainties for the boudoir- chaise tongue cover, clothes hangers, shoe trees, cushions, bags, etc. These are developed in a rainbow that con- sists of pastel green, yellow, blue, ivory white and shell pink Not bad combination of colors, to be sure, and perhaps under the circumstances a better color scheme than natures own.

NHX'S LESSON

It was the late Colonel Roosevelt who a dozen years ago impressed upon Tom Mix that kindness to ami mals always paid. Already possessing natural aptitude with dumb animals Mix soon found that Colonel Roose- welt was right. Since then kindness often has served him in good stead both in difficult and seemingly simple situations. One of the latter occur red in his picture when gentleness alone succeeded in getting his favor ite horse to hoist a foot on the brass rail of a bar, man-fashion.

SAFETY FIRST MOVE

Chicago. May 24.-A nationwide
campaign to make the country real
ize the need of safety first traffic
regulations. particularly in cities, Is
being launched by the highways

of National Defense.
Hundreds of authorities have been
asked to take part in the movement,
including all the national traffic as

secretaries of state, and other ofh-
cials who have to do with traffic
problems in one way or another.
As a first step a series of resula-
tions have been drawn up which
summarize the best thought OF the
country on the subject of safety.
These are to be placed before the
various municipal governing bodies
with urgent recommendations for
their adoption in one form or an
other.
At the same time. hundreds Of
thousands of safety bulletins Will be
distributed broadcast through the
aid of volunteer local organizations.

Magnetic Failure.
Irregular magnetic action sometimes
occurs because of end play in the

of the armature may be sufficient
to upset the action of the contract

Q. Can you suggest a quick way to
repair a gas line that has broken of
near the carbureter end? l want this
for future use, as l had the sad ex-
perience OF breaking one at midnight
on a dark road about four miles from
a garage.
A. Without rubber tubing that can
be slipped over the broken ends. or a
sufficient length to be substituted for
the entire gas line, the only thing to
do is to attempt to file one end Of the
tubing so it will At into the other. A
joint OF this kind taped over a few
times will hold for some time. butt
joint will not do at all.
@. My car squeaks terribly, due to
the rims. which also emit a loud click
ing noise. I get out and tighten the
holding lugs at intervals, but 1t seems
to do little good. Is 1t due to the rim
or the lugs, and how can I stop 1t?
A. The clicking is side slapping of
the rim and the saueaking is caused
by creeping or rubbing of the rim
against the wheel. You never will get
results unless you jack up the wheel
and tighten the lugs by opposites
First tighten one lug a little. then the
opposite one the same amount, then
a third and its opposite, and so on
Do not tighten one lug all the way
and then take the next This tightens
the rim on one side and leaves the
other free to move. Be sure you are
using the right type Of lugs for the
rims.
Q. My car seems to run fine on the
level road for a short time. but as
soon as I try to speed for even a half
mile 1t begins to misfire and 1t keeps
that up until slow down. 1 can't
give 1t the gas. On a hill it will run
fine for a short way up and then 1t
will start to misfire and maybe stop.
Where would you look first for this
trouble?
A. 1 would first clean out the gaso-
lene tank and line. for I am almost
sure there is an obstruction of some
kind preventing the carbureter float
bowl from filling fast enough.
Q. What Is your honest opinion of
the steam car? Is 1t economical and
safe to drive and easy to repair? How
does 1t perform?
A. As a performer, think there Is
nothing like the steamer, but the trou-
Bile is the companies that make steam
ers have few service stations. II YOU
understand steam cars you should get
along well with one. The steamer Of
today uses about as much fuel as a
gasoline car. OF course such a car is
safe to drive.
Q. Can you tell me IL 1t is possible
to get magnetic to take the place of
a storage battery ignition OUTFIT with
out going to much expense for install
lation? will stand a reasonable out
lay for a good system. What do you
think Of the new Areo magnetic made
by the Splitdorf people? Is their prin-
ciple right? Would you recommend
such a magnetic?
A. You can get almost any stand
ard magnetic to take the place of
battery unit. On some cars the in
stallation Is an easy matter and costs
little. think very highly not only
Of the Aero magnetic as a unit but.
