DEMOCRATS WILL
ORGANIZE HERE

Local Democratic leaders are now
engaged in an intensive campaign
which they believe will give the par
ty a notable victory at the polls iii
November.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Repu blican majority at the last city
election was large they believe that
this is Democratic year with the
thorough orga nization of the Demo-
Gratis and women voters of the city
and the large number of independent
voters who have expressed their in
tention of voting for Cox and Roose-
Welt they believe that the tide. has
turned and are confident Of a Demo
era tic victory.
The party is being thoroughly re-
organized and the leaders will have
every vote in favor of the Demo
cratic candidates cast on the Novem-
Der election.

CONSIDER FLAP
I'M AUTO TIRE

The flap is an important yet little
considered accessory in the automo-
bile tire. AS a protector between tube
and rim, it is vital to the long life
of the tube. 1t prevents deterioration
from the rust that invariably gathers
from pinching between the edges of
the tire.
Ordinarily, a flap is made of from
three to four piles of fabric It is
constructed to conform to the shape
of the tire. Inserted, it should lay
perfectly straight between the tube
and rim without bucktinG.
The long notch at the end of the
flap, should lay on top or next to
the rim, in order to prevent the tube
creeping up and being pinched be-
tween the long groove. The end with
the round hole, where the valve stem
fits. should lie next to the tube.
If the flap is a trifle too short, it is
better to bury a new one rather than
to risk Sitting the holes to lensthen
it. In case of emergency, it is bet
ter to slit the long notch rather than
the short one. The cut, however,
, must never be SO long that the edges
of the flap do not come together.
If the flap is too short, it works
down., oftentimes to the side-wall of
the casing Here it cuts the fabric
like a knife. When it is corroded from
| rim rust and the edges get ragged
from wear, there is danger Of pinch
ing the tube and thus running 1t.
The motorist should examine the
condition of the flap at each tire
change. If he fails to take care of
this necessary accessory. he has only
himself to blame when his tube goes
flat. Oftentfmes the price Of a new
flap will save several tubes, A poor
flap Is the source of constant an
noyance.

THE CURATIVE POWER
OF SOME COEORS


Now comes the color curist, with
his gospel of brightness. He says.
away with your drabs and grays!
Give US color and plenty of it, not the
colors of autumn, the hues of death
and decay; give Us rather the bright
colors Of spring. We want the blue
of an April sky, the green of the
leaves of the primrose, the gold of the
sunbeam and the witchery of the
glorious colors of the rainbow painted
against the grey cloud smiling
through April's tears
While the mind and the body may
not be one, they are very closely re-
lated, and what effects the eye soon
percolates into the brain. Colors have
been experimental with, and scien-
lists tell US that they have BEEN. an
aid to the curse of disease, even such
loaIthsome ones as smallpox. It is
therefore no surprise to find that
colors are now being tried in cases
of nerve trouble, for no one can doubt
that harmony and taste in the ar
rangenent of furnishing have a rest
full influence even upon normal folk.
Squa1or and uncongenial surroundings
have a decidedly depressing effect
upon any artistic person who is forced
to dwell in their midst
1t Is claimed that violet rays have
a curative effect on nervous persons,
while red Is very irritating to the
nerves. Nothing Is so restful as
green. What a wise provision of ma
ture that the grass and foliage is
green instead of pink or blue. Can
you think of anything that would be
more nerve racking? One touch of
wrong color will spoil all the blend
ing In the world. Avoid the color that
"sticl1s OUT and calls all the atten-
ton of the mind and eye to its harsh
ness. TO be restful, the color must
please the eye, but not hold II.

and lovely lady which has all this time
been in the back OF my mind, as
supreme proof of the highest praise
that could be given to aging woman,
writes w. D. Howells in Harper's
Magazine. She was of the finest mo-
dernity in her love of the best things
in literature and life, and could no
more err in taste than in truth or the
beauty which is one with it.
She is gone now, who was so lately
here in such perfection Of mind and
soul, that it seems as if she could
never have left us who were privileged
to share the bounty of her wisdom
and grace.
