RUBBER WATER CONNECTIONS
1t Is Well to Occasionally Inspect Hose
for Distractions ~ Vibration
May Cause Break.

When cleaning out the radiator it
Is well to occasionally inspect the con-
dition Of the rubber hose connections
in the water circulation system, for
Instructions not infrequently develop
at these places. If a glycerine anti
freezing mixture has been used, or
any kind of radiator dope, the interior
of these rubber connections is very
likely to be injured, as many of these
substances SO affect rubber that the in-
terror surface of the connection is
softened and loosened;, and the vibra-
ton of the car is liable to cause pieces
of rubber to break away. When this
occurs the loose pieces lodge at the
narrow points in the passages and seri-
ously diminish the flow of the cooling
water. Whenever one of these rubber
connections feels soft and fiabby, or
appears to have breaks in the body Of
the tubing. the connection should be
removed and carefully examined and
at the same time the passage should
be tested to see that the flow Of water
is not obstructed.- Scientific Ameri.

mobile men predict for 1919. He is
one of the picturesque figures of the
war, and his mere entry undoubtedly
will draw thousands to the tracks.
"Rick's" exploits won him decora-
ton after decoration. War censorship
allowed only the news of his repeated
victories to reach this country, but
since the armistice wonderful tales of
his daring have come across the ocean.
1t is known he has received the Dis
tinguished Service Cross with four oak
leaves, equivalent to five citations; the
French Croix de Guerre, and the dec
GRAFTON of the Legion of Honor. He
may have been honored even further,
but those decorations were officially
reported.
Capt Rickenbacker enlisted early in
1917. His first work after reaching
France was a job as chauffeur to Gen.
Pershing. That proved too slow for
the daredevil of the speedways and he
secured transfer to aviation. After
completing his course of instruction in
April, 1918, he won his title of lace"
in one month by bringing down five
German planes. Then victories came
so fast that "Rickenbacker downs an

later in a hospital.

Americas ace of aces, Capt. Ed
ward Victor Rickenbacker, is the au-
tomobile mems great hero Of the war.
Rickenbacker is Americas air cham
pion. In the final summing up of the
aviation records he was officially cred
tied with bringing down twenty-six
German planes.
One story from cover there" relates
that he fired the last shot of the war.
The story states he was flying over
the German lines at 1859 on the
morning of Nov. IL, and that he kept
his hand on the trigger of his machine
gun for just sixty seconds, driving
Germans helter-skelter until the min
ute was up and the war ended.
Capt. "Rick" was leader of the 94th
aero pursuit squadron. In regent
letter he said that on the day the ar
mistice went into effect his squadron
was transferred from the First army
to the Third army, and was the only
pursuit squadron In the American fly
ing service to accompany the Army of
Occupation. This unit was credited
with bringing down sixty-nine German
planes.

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

Many car owners have had the ex-
perience 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 dull it 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 it is hot, ard
this increases the dull effect. About
the only way of eliminating this con-
dition 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.

Announcement that the Post Office De-
partment is calling for bids for post office
quarters in this, town is giving rise to COM
ment, generally u~nfavOrable as regards
the possibility that the present site may
be changed. In fact it would appear that
most persons understand the project
to infer that the Office must necessarily
be removed. But this is not decidedly
the case, it being mostly a question of
whether or not the authorities will offer
the building now occupied, under con-
ditions acceptable to the Department, and
as a business proposition, apart from any
influence exercised through public taste
inIthe mattel, it is hoped that the Govern
ment will see it practicable to do so.
This step toward securing more ade-
qu te quarters for the post office is
in accordance with authority from the
Post Office Department to have the office
established upon a we'll appointed basis
as far as equipment is concerned, and is
a very undisguised effort on the part Of
the Department to increase the efficiency
of the service which must follow the in
stallation of an adequate number of lock-
boxes available to all patrons at a moder-
ate charge, and so arranged as to per-
nit of access to the same both outside as
we'll as during business hours. This is,
so far, only one side Of the subject an
other is in the fact that the personnel of
the office in its present location, are
greatly Inconvenience for the want of
absolutely necessary facilities which are
provided for under the conditions of the
lease which contemplates many points
thai will tend to enable a more economi-
cal handling of the office as a whole, and
can only rebound to the benefit of the pub
lie. 1t is the private opinion o. the Avis
that the present site is the most suitable
that could be offered, it being not alone
convenient because of its proximity to
the wharf whereby prompt receipt of
the mail coming in by boat, is more as
sured than if the office were located
uptown, but because it is in the bust
ness section, most the business houses
being within easy reach of it, and
most business men having to come to
the wharf and Customs, when they also
get their mail. We have not heard any
complaint of the post Office service in
this town, to the contrary, it is common
ly acknowledged as being more efficient
than it has ever been. except with re-
spect to carrier service which is a matter

tablishment of, and it is our belief that
