In making preparations for the tour,
the motorist should not fail to lay
out his trip in advance. He should
know exactly where he is going and
how he expects to get there. He
should lay in supply of necessary
road maps and determine definitely
how he is going to go every mile Of
the way. Such advance preparation
will enable the motorist to enjoy the
trip much more than if he is constantly
worrying over uncertainties in the
route.-Goodrich.

Spark plug porcelains may be freed
of all carbonaceous or other foreign
matter by soaking them in a solution
of carbon disulphide, obtainable at any
drug store. This solution dissolves the
carbon and leaves the porcelain bright.
OF course this treatment applies par
ticularly to the type of porcelain which
is removable from the shell Of the plug,
but the same method of cleaning can be
used even If the plug is Of the So
called one-piece type. Just soak the
whole plug, shell and all 1t don't do
any harm, and Is one reasonably eff

THE PEACE TREATY.

The Peace Treaty is puzzling thing
to most Of us. On account of the long
fight made on it in the senate and the
many parliamentary proceedings con-
nected with it's consideration, many of
us have been hard put to keep
line on it. At least we know that the
treaty which was voted on last week
and which both South Carolina sena-
tors opposed was not the treaty which
President Wilson finally secured af-
ter a hard fight in Paris. The original
treaty had failed of passage before and
the treaty Of last week contained the
reservations of the mild republicans,
mild enough. according to the pres-
dent, to rob it Of its greatest value and
too mild for the rreconcilablc repub-
licans who bitterly opposed the whole
peace fabric. While not voting togeth-
cr, the straight-out supporters Of
the original treaty and its irreconcila-
Bile foes commanded enough votes to
bring about its fourth defeat. Had the
democrats agreed to its passage with
the mild reservations. the matter would
nave been practically Closed and the
main object Of the war, so far as
been lost.
The president may be idealistc in
his theories for world peace, but ideal
lists often come TO be looked upon in
a "a, .;o
The presidents peace idea is idealistic
in that it is above the plane Of peace
pacts formerly formulated when VIC
tors secured the spoils, but the presi-
dent, with the millions of people who
no longer are subject to military castes,
takes a different view of the rights OF
all nations, large and small and would
lend this governments aid in making a
righteous settlement Of the worlds
troubles without regard for spoils
The plan may not work, but it is worth
trying. Nothing has ever been lost
by trying.
1t is no longer possible for the
United States to maintain an attitude
of disintercstedncss in world affairs.
World affairs have thrust themselves
upon us and must be dealt with in the
light of our conScicnccs. We could
well pass them up if We chose to, but
it is the duty Of nation as it is an
individual to help weaker brother
and we cannot be true to ourselves
and allow the dogs of war to loosen
themselves again in Europe when We
could prevent them. Even if we could
allow ourselves to do that, thinking
that VIC would be safe from the con
fict, we would have but to remember
the late war TO know that our hopes
would be futile With the world as
closely drawn together by modern in
Vcntion as it now is, we are one Of the
world powers and cannot avoid the
responsibility. The president believes
in that doctrine and is fighting hard
tight TO sec il through.
