Turks Use FOrefingers

In various parts Of Turkey the
watch and the clock are extremely
rare, but the natives have an exceed
ingly ingenious way OF approximate
Ing the time and some Of them hit II
with considerable accuracy. They
locate two cardinal points of the com
pass and then folding their hands to-
gether in such q manner that the
forefngers point upward and in OPP
posite directions, they observe the
shadow cast In the morning or the
evening at certain known hours one
finger or the other win point directly
at the sun. A comparison Of the two
shadows win determine the hours be
tween.
Another system followed in Turkey
and some other countries Of the
Orient is to observe the eyes Of a
cat. Early IN the morning and eve

RECONSTRUCTION Is
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Time to Spruce Up Car Neglected
During Great War.
Col. Arthur Woods, Assistant 70 SEQ.
rotary Of War; Recommends En-
pIoYnent Of Returning Sol
diers 70 Make Repairs.

How about your motor carr OF
course, you let her lose class SOME
what during the war. II was unpa-
triotic to use labor or paint on your
ear at q time when American indus
try was working at top speed to pro-
duce the material necessary for the
winning Of the war.
But the war is over. Labor is no
longer scarce. In TACT, there are TO-
700 soldiers being dismissed every day
rom the service, and these men viii
have rather a difficult time Of 1t until
the industries of the country can re-
nstate them into civilian jobs. Now
ID the time to spruce up that motor
ear, to put that necessary coat Of paint
IN and to overhaul it generally. You
win be doing a patriotic service to the
country in getting q soldier or two to
10 this work for you. Col. Arthur
Woods, assistant to the secretary OF
war, recommends the employment OF
sx-serylce men for such reconstruction
york.
There Is no more need for emergency
economy. Minor repairs add to the
life of things. Paint adds life to the
body of the car. Spruce up yOsar en-
zine. Renew those worn parts. Your
ar viii go quicks- viii run smoother,
and wear on it wifi be lighter.
Materials are expensive now
paints, machine parts, cost more than
hey used to few years ago. But
hey will save more than their value
n their service to tho car.
Don't wait for materials to come
lown. They won't. Rather IS the
contrary to be expected. And IL you
wait a little too long, you win have to
put on an extra coat of paint, and
more parts win wear out. Spruce
IIr your car now.

How Reptiles, Wild Beasts,

Reptiles do not wash at az. but

calves with mud and then wash It on

Most naked skinned animals like to
walIow, at any rate In hot weather,
and so do many which are well
furred; such bathing is enjoyed not
only By rhinoeeroses and buffaloes,
but, as every one bows, by dogs,
and even by bears AMI by tigers.
But the walIowing is not washing.
and when performed in mud leaves

HELPS PAY FOR GOOD ROADS
n 1918 Nearly 81 Per Cent Of Motor
Vehicle Tax Was Applied to
Highway Improvement.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The increase in motorcar registra-
ions and revenues in the United
States during the past dozen years
represents some Interesting COMPARE
sons. This is especially true in re-
spect to the use made of the revenues.
In 1906 the total registrations were APP
proximateiy As, 600 cars, paying a gross
revenue Of about $4,000, or roughly
the same as the returns from the Dis
trict of Columbia for the year 1913.
Furthermore in 1905 the gross regis
tration revenues represented less than
three-tenths Of / per cent Of the total
rural road and bridge expenditures for
that year. In 1913 the motOr-yehIcle
revenues represented approximately
p per cent of the total road and
bridge expenditures for that year. Fur
.hernore, while In 1905 practically
none Of the motor-vehicIe revenues
we're applied to road construction or
maintenance, In 1918 nearly 81 per
cent Of the gross returns, or $46.935.-
