Most every man experiences consid-
erable trouble with the paint on his
First new car, due to the fact that Il
was not properly taken care of. Some,
however. after running the paint on
one or two cars, learn how to keep
the luster In the paint, but for the
benefit of those who still do not know
the secret the following instructions
are given:
Owing to the time required for var
nish TO harden, great care should be
exercised In washing the car during
the first few months in use.
]. Before using new sponges and
chamois skins clean them thoroughly
with soap and wato~ to remove sand
and shells.
2. Clean one panel at time, thor
oughly drying before cleaning the
next. Never wash the engine hood
while hot, and never use hot water
on any part OF the car.
3. Mud should never be allowed to
dry upon a newly vanished surface.
Wash Off all mud as soon as possible.

gear. Keep sponge for body away
from grease.
9. In washing running gear use a
soap solution made by dissolving In
pail Of water sufficient soap to make
good suds. Sop on to car with
sponge. Rinse Immediately with clear
water.
II necessary to use soap on body,
use only pure soap, such as imported
CASTLE, or the very best oil soaps
made for use on automobiles. There
must be no free alkali or acids In the
soap. as these will eat the surface OF
the varnish.

THE PICNIC

THE picnic is a place where people
i go TO relax from labor and study
the bug family. There Is no place on
earth where the habits and personal
eccentricities OF the wandering and
dissatisfied bug can be studied to
greater advantage than at picnic,
when the tablecloth has been laid d.
rectly over a smoldering ant hill.
Picnics are held In the summer time.
when the grass is long and green and
insect life is more animated. Great
care is taken TO read the weather fore
cast and pick out day that winds up
In a moist rainstorm. This teaches US
that the United States weather bureau.

which is supported by the patient, per-
spring taxpayer. is lugubrlous and
agonlzlDg joke. II congress would
quit distributing free garden seeds and
give out trustworthy barometers in
stead, fewer picnic parties would have
TO be hauled home In hack and
wrung dry by anxious parents In the
dead Of the night.
Picnics are composed Of people who
go and people who provide. Why IL
II that so many people are able to go
to picnic after picnic and never have
to furnish anything but bubbllng
laugh and two baking powder spoons?
The injustice Of this Arrangement has
rankled In many feminine breast and
hns caused close neighbors to refuse
to speak TO each other except at
prayer meeting. There Is also the
man who is first TO get to the table,
but never can see anything to do ex-
cept prophesy rain and fight flies. That
we are humane and tender-hearted
people Is shown by the fact that these
two classes are always welcome and
are even given some of the white
meat.
Men are invited to plcnics on ac-
count OF their lovable attributes and
their ability TO produce fire out OF
water-soaked brush. A picnic with
out a few men TO build the fire and
eat all OF the surplus potato salad
would be a greater failure than an as
tempt to sell envelope chemises on the
African coast Unmarried men are
much sought after at picnics. as they
know how to hang a hammock and
also how TO dlsport themselves there
In. One OF the most pathetic sights In
life Is picnic party composed entire
ly OF old maids who have no more use
for a hammock than bald-headed
man has for a set Of military brushes.
Picnics would be more popular IL
they were held on high, dry ground.
where the death chant of the coarse,
aggressive mosquito could not be
heard.

 leadership of men wno are Europ- can in their conceptions of politics, the effort has been made, not to Americanize Europe but to Euro peanize America. Yet Americanism has meant unity and peace; Euro peanism has meant division and war,
 and will continue to mean disun1on and war. The very statesmen who have talked of worldwide peace as the harvest of the world war, have sown the seed of future wars thick in the soil of Europe and of Asia.
