70 Relatives of
Missouri Couple
Starve to Death

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June IA
Springfield, Mo-, man and his wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. X. Thomas, SIG Col
lege street, have lost twenty-nine
relatives who have died from starva.
ton in Syria since the beginning Of
the war. This number includes
three children besides brothers and
sisters of both Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
and children of nearly all of them
Word received by Mr.. and Mrs
Thomas announced the death Of two
relatives, which brought the total
death list of members of their fami-
lies in Syria to twenty-nine.
With the exception of one brother
and sister-in-law, besides several
nieces and nephews, Mr. and Mrs,
Thomas now have no relatives in the
old country.
Shortly following the outbreak of
the European war conditions in Syr
| ia are said to have become alarming
because of food shortage and an ap.
peal was sent out by that country TO,
assistance.
The United States was one Of the
first countries to respond to the call
and shiploads of food supplies were
sent. For some reason much of the
supplies failed to reach them, rs the
ships were seized by some Of the
countries engaged in the war. M.
merous deaths soon resulted in Syria
and the number gradually increased
until the daily death rate was enor-
nous.
Joins In Raising Funds.
Thomas, like all other men of his
nationality in America, joined II

countrymen, but the much needed
supplies failed to reach Syria in time

from starvation. Thoma4 sent
money a number of times to his PEG
pie through the foreign missionaries
The first tirae, which was shortly at
ter the outbreak of the war, he re
ceived word acknowledging the SAT-
arrival of the money, but at no tint
after that did his people receive an!
of the money he sent them.
There are approximately twenty
five Syrians residing in Springfield
and in practically all cases they hav
lost a number of their relatives il

OVERLAND FACTORY
 SCHOOLS EMPLOYES

As another factor in his plan for furthering the mutual interests of em- ployer and employe. John N. Willys, president of the Willys- Overland com pany, has founded a technical school for employees at his plant in Toledo.
 Complete courses in modern auto mobile manufacturing are offered. Stu dents are paid while studying.
 The school occupies a large section of one of the company's factory build ings in Toledo. It is completely equipped with machinery and contains tool shops. die rooms, drafting rooms an inspection department, lecture halls and other departments essential to the various courses. The faculty is composed of men with extensive eX perience in automobile manufacturing, men qualified as competent instruc- tors.
 Those who elect to take the course will attend classes during working hours. Students are expected to com plete their courses in from one to three months, according to their abili- ties and previous experience.
 The founding of the school is in keeping with the progressive policy of the Willys Overland company, and is intended to encourage the mutual in terests between employees and the com pany. It's purpose is to fit employees for better and more responsible po- sitions.

FLAvoRlNG EXTRACTS SCARCE

The Flavoring Extract Manufaetur- CTS association, in session recently at a New York City hotel, declared that there is already an acute scarcity of lemon, vanilla and orange flavoring extracts because of decreased impor- tations.
 Before the war most of these flavors came from Italy, France and South American countries" said F. B. Beers, head of the organization. Now that all importations from these countries have been stopped the only way we can get vanilla is by rail from Mexico. The cutting off of the orange and lemon oils we formerly bought from France and Italy has created a problem
 "The sugar and alcohol shortage has also had its effect on the flavoring ex- tract business. Because of government restrictions, the industry has had to curtail production largely, and higher prices for flavoring extracts have re- Sulted--

HOW TO EXTRACT YOUR CAR OUT OF THE MUD.

A resourcefuI motorist, whose car has been stuck in the mud does not always have to fall back on a pair of mules to get free. For such an emer- gency the United States Tire com pany offers some suggestions that have proved valuable.
 The first calls for having stored away somewhere in the car a stack of old newspapers. When the car gets stuck and the wheels refuse to take hold, feed in some of the old papers between the tires and the mud. Usual ly only a few will have to be worked in before the wheels will begin to grip and the car start forward This method of handling a difficult situation is so simple and so uniformly successful that every motorist should know of it and carry a pile of old newspapers unless he is equipped with some other apparatus for such a contingency
 Here is the other method suggested by the United States Tire company: Put the car in low, and if you cannot feed the gas with your foot evenly so that the wheels will revolve slowly. put your emergency brake on. Do not put it on so that the wheels will hot revolve at all, but tightly enough to keep them from revolving rapidly With the wheels turning slowly, the maximum pull is delivered to them by having the car in low gear. and so long as they turn slowly they can get the benefit of the tremendous power
 It is not always wise to fill the hole with stones or bricks, for their rough edges are hard on tires. Small branches of trees are better, as they offer much better tractive space. Should this method fail, quite often a slight push that would not much more than move baby buggy will fur nish just the added amount of power. necessary to get the car going.

SHOULD PRACTICE
 USING LEFT HAND
(London Answers)

Why shouldn't you be ambidexter- ous? The almost exclusive use of the right hand is all a matter of habit The use of both hands is merely 8 matter of training Men invariably put one arm first through an armhole and woman just the other arm. Rea- son for it? Habit Women button garments from one side, men from the opposite. Habit again.
 Men who shave themselves with an ordinary razor use the left hand equal ly with the right Teaching themselves after arriving at the age of discretion, they have acquired the art of ambidex- terity, so far as this particular opera ton is concerned, without effort, and probably without even noticing it.
 And what can be done involuntarily can be done voluntarily Teach your self to be ambidexterous. Start ex- perimeHting today. And you will be surprised at the result, manifested in increased efficiency and the lessening of fatigue in whatever job you may be at

IVES HILL STAGE CO. FOUND OLDSNObILES
 DID THE J0B RIGHT

"Fourteen months ago the Wes Hill Apache Trail Stage company. put a single Oldsmobile eight" into service on their regular route, between Globe and Phoenix, Arizona. Since then says Billy Ferguson, of the Fergu son -Keeler company, local Oldsmobile dealers, ''aIl of their other vehicles have been replaced by Oldsmobiles- 8 formidable fleet of them
 This stage company is in re markable position to put cars to the most severe test imaginable. Prac- tically the entire route travelled by them is mountainous, and because of the veritable flood of tourists who stop over to sec the Roosevelt dam and the wonders of the reclaimed Salt River Valley, their cars are always loaded to capacity"
 When they put on the first eight more or less experimentally, they were told that so light a car could not pos 5ibly stand up under the severe strain and that, as a result, maintenance costs would be prihibitive. During the If months, this car has travelled more thau 22,000 miles and is reported to be in first class shape in every way today. Furthermore, so little difficult ty was encountered throughout this strenuous service and the operating cost was so surprisingly low, that the company has decided it cannot afford to operate any other make of car"

 This is not true, however. While it is always important to keep the bat tery well charged at the same time there is danger of overheating and frequently the lights must be burned during day running to prevent this.
 "All batteries need to be kept well filled with pure water and should be tested at least every two weeks with hydrometer syringe. Our battery and electric experts will do this if the mo- torist will only drive in often and let them. This precaution is the motor ist's best insurance against battery

TIRE DOPE TOLD BY
 GOODRICH TIRE MAN

There are aid sorts of tire tools on the market, and each has it's place. particularly when a certain type of tire is to be handled in connection with some particular make of tool. But if you will go into any tire service statioh it will be found that one particular and handy tire removing tool is made from an old motor car or buggy spring, us- ing only half of semielliptical type.
 The experienced motorist will carry two of these half springs with him at all times, despite the fact that he has demountable rims. How often is it necessary to replace a tube after the only spare has been used, so that the spare equipment will be complete?
 Any old spring will do, but it should have the abrupt corners of the thin edge rounded off so it will not injure the casing and should be 1-S2d inch it is apt to cut the casing, and if too thick it will not readily pass between the rim and the casing.
 sudden application of the brakes causes skidding. Ever fall and skin your knee? The poor tire experiences worse than that. Part of it's face is Scraped off. Pure carelessness.
 A more common tire injury is due to faulty alignment of the front wheels. A bent axle or steering knuckle may be responsible or possibly the de- mountable rim is not perfectly applied. Accidents are not always responsible for the front wheels being out of alignment. but frequently this is the case. All cars, through no fault of the manufacturer, are subpect to this condition, and the first indication will be given when you notice the tread of one or both tires wearing as though a rough file had been used on them. If the tread becomes worn through and the fabric affected, then the tire is be- yond repair. Correct trouble quickly to avoid necessity of this. There is but one remedy, and that is care. Test your front wheels frequently and be sure that they are in proper alignment.
 Improper application of tire chains causes much damage. Leave chains just loose enough so that every time the wheel turns the cross chains will not strike in the same spot in the tire. If you do not heed this advice you will have serious trouble with your tires.
