Endless ingenuity and small pieces

appear to be the most valuable assets
of those who love to do fancy work
and almost every woman delights in
making pretty things. The uses that

ends of silk and velvet that accumu-
late in the scrap bag, make scrap

long list of fascinating trinkets and
belongings that spring from this un-
pretentious source, most of them per
sonal things dear to dainty women
Gold lace, gold net, lingerie lace,
made silk flowers and fruits are the
elegances that Join forces with silken
stuffs to fashion all these trinkets and
perfumed powders scent many OF

Starting out with the simplest and
smallest, there are little sachet bags
two or three inches square. made Of
bright colored ribbon and filled with
cotton scented with sachet powder A
half dozen OF these little bags, each

delicate odor. Or the bags may be
cut heart shaped, pinned In a row to
the edge of narrow ribbon and
placed in little box to be used as

NEGLECT OF OWNERS
WILL INJURE AUTOS
Proper fabrication Is OF Utmost
Importance.
Drivers Gradually Form Habit Of Do
Ing Everything on High Speed In
Shifting Gears--Inspect
Car Every Week

There are many ways In which q
car may be Internationally mistreat-
ed. just as there are many ways In
which ones own health may be vio-
lated to the injury Of ones system.
The first point IS quite familiar to
most motorists, and that is the ques-
tlon of proper fabrication. Still every
dealer knows that cars continue to be
brought in with bearings burned out,
king bolts badly worn and other parts
of the car in more or less damaged con-
dition from under-lubrication. OIL
should not be used too long. because
after time It loses much of its lubri-
eating qualities. This is an especially
important item to watch now, because
good lubricating oil Is not always avail
able at all filling stations.
Another point IL the shifting Of
gears and the use of gears In hard
pulling. II should be borne in mind
that all motors have excess power be-
cause of the extent to which the valve
tn-head principle Of design has been do
veloped, and because Of this surplus
power drivers, as a class, gradually
form the habit of not shifting to lower
speeds. but do everything on high.
After time they gradually grow
TO hate the idea Of dropping to lower
speeds, as If II were reflection on the
car or on the drivers ability. This In
n condition that should not exist.
These same ideas apply to practi-
cally all of the little things that may
happen to motor cars in general serv-
ice. A weekly inspection will do a
great deal toward getting the utmost
serviceability ont of car. The own
er who does not have time or inclina-
ton to attend to these things himself
will do we'll to see that they are done
by some one who Is thoroughly COM
! petent. They do not take much time,
! and the man who Is mechanically IN
clined will derive much pleasure In
becoming more familiar with the vart-
Gus working units of his car.
A good motor car responds wonder
| fully TO good treatment, not only from
! the standpoint of satisfaction, but
also from that Of giving the owner the
| full amount Of transportation that has
been built into his car.

pun In the bag also to make IT complete
Little ribbon or silk roses, flowers
and fruit are used on so many of the
things made of silk that one must
learn how to make them among the
first things. They are used IN finish
ing touches in all sorts of boxes and
toilet belongings-glove, handkerchief
and powder boxes, talcum powder and
toilet water bottles, pin cushions
comb case and all the requisites of
the toilet table. These are covered
with silk bound with gold braid or
lace often having little frills of lin
gerie lace and the little flowers finally
added.
Candle shades and candle shields
small screens for telephones and other
things, innumerable pin cushions and
pin trays, bon-bon boxes and picture
frames, al are covered with silk and
decked out with laces and braids
Then there are the needle and scissor
cases and all the company of work
bags that prove a Joy forever to their
owners, together with Jewel and pow
der bags crocheted Of mercerized cot
ton or of silk floss and lined with silk.
The coat hanger finishes the list of per-
sonal belongings, but It does not
cover all the uses for pieces of silk,
which include many furnishings for
the home.

DIR. Geo. w. Middleton Of Salt Lake
City paid another visit to Cedar City
this week, arriving here Wednesday
afternoon and returning Thursday.
The Doctors mission here was to
perform some difficult surgical opera
tons, including the removal of the
PROSTATE gland for Thomas S. Baden
who has been sufferer for many
months; an operation for the relief OF
bladder trouble for Sister Lehi w
Jones and the repair of broken thigh
for the small son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM
Dix, Jr. In these operations DIR. Mid

The committee composed Of r. L.
Jones, w. II. Leigh and s. j. Foster
which was sent to investigate modern
hotel and bank buildings, and which
visited Salt Lake City, Portland, San
Francisco and Los Angeles. were ex-
pected home yesterday afternoon but
failed to arrive. The return of Cash
Ter Foster is especially imperative or
account of the serious illness of Mrs
Foster. who is suffering from infiu-
enza- pneumonia. II Is learned that
the party got stuck in the mud with
the car that was bringing them in and
had to walk some distance to the Sar-
yer ranch, from which station they
phoned in for assistance. f. M. Cory
sent his car and they arrived here at
three o'clock this morning.

In the midst of the excessive costs
Of all kinds of food stuffs and neces-
sites, it is refreshing TO note at least
one essential commodity that has de-
clined somewhat. We refer to butter,
which is manufactured within the
county. The retail price at present is
55c. as against Csc. per pound for the
winter Whether or not the decline
is due to the starting of green pas
tureage, we are not advised, but it
seems probable that this is the case.
At any rate, the man who buys APP
preciates even this small relief, wheth-
err the fellow who sells does or not.

A representative of the Mazda Mo
ton Picture company of California
was in Cedar City the first of this
week, for the purpose of obtaining
movies" of Zion Canyon and its APP
proaches. He took few hundred feet
of pictures at Salt Lake City, a few
at Fillmore and other points down
through the state, and announced his
intention of making about 1900 feet
of pictures from Cedar City to and in
GLIDING the Canyon, 400 feet of which
were made Of Cedar City.

LOCAL HAPPENINGS

DR.. Robt. A. Thorley and family
have returned from the coast, where
they spent month. The Doctor re-
ports conditions entirely too congested
there for comfort. Says they were
unable to get any accommodations at
all in Los Angeles, but obtained tent
accommodation down on the water
front.
The present outlook, according to
Health Officer Bergstrom, is that the
emergency influenza hospital may be
dispensed with about Sunday evening.
Like the one established at the B. A.
C. last winter, it has served splen-
did purpose, with 1907 recoveries
credited to its record.

Mayor Arch Swap and Mrs. Swap
returned from their trip north and
into southern California Wednesday.
Mrs. Swap, in the interest of whose
health the California trip was taken,
is feeling much better. The lady is
sufferer from asthma and rheuma-
tism and the mild California climate
agrees with her splendidly. 1t was
the intention to leave her there for a
few weeks, but learning of the influ-
enza situation here and fearing that
it might invade their family, Mrs.
Swapp insisted on returning with her
husband. They report everything in
viting and beautiful now in southern
California.

Next Thursday is the birthday of
the immortal Lincoln, and memorial
services and programs will be held
throughout the country, wherever the
health conditions do hot interfere. A
suitable observance was being planned
but there appears to be no assurance
that public gatherings will be re-
sumed before that date. A large
gathering of Republicans will be held
at the Hotel Utah in honor Of the oc-
casion. A banquet will be a feature
of the occasion.

cases had TO walk several miles.
For the past two years there has
been talk of concrete, hard surfaced
and combination roads between this
place and Lund and enough money
has been spent between the State and
Federal government road departments
in engineering and in see-sawing
to have surfaced the worst of this
road and made it passable the year
round, but still we are right where we
were when they started. The ever
present talk of a railroad, too, has
had its effect in holding back improve
ment of the wagon and auto road. but
1t is about time we got down to "brass
tacks" and did something besides
talk. IL should be remembered that
10000 people are dependent upon this
thirty odd miles of road for their mail,
express, freight and passenger serv-
ice. During the month of December
last year the mail contractor handled
40 tons of mail over this route. And
to think that we must continue year
after year to drag all this business
in wet weather through a bog hole
and in dry weather through an ash
bed of silt, is disgrace to the state
to the people of this district and to
the fedearal government which pro-
fesses to be doing something for the
improvement Of post roads throughout
the country.
The condition MUST not be per,
mitted to maintain another season.

REGULAR 0ILINC
OF CAR SPRINGS
Cleveland Auto School Head
Thinks Neglect Is often the
Cause Of BreakdoWns.
EASY WAY OF LUBRICATION
Put Lifting Jack Under Body Of Car
and Spring Leaves Are Separated
by Means OF Small Tool
ProIonss Life OF Car.

The reason you feel completely tired
out after days ride in one car-or
on the other hand, thoroughly re-
freshed after similar trip over prac-
tically the same road In another car, Is
due TO difference in the action OF
the springs of the two cars, says Clyde
III. Pratt. president Of the Cleveland
Automobile School company.
The most important part of the cars
mechanical construction as far as the
riding qualities are concerned IL the
springs. IL the reader will take the
trouble to look ut the springs of vari-
Gus cars he Cor she) will note that
there are a number OF general types OF
springs. These may be classed under
various names, among them full-ellip-
tic. seml-elliptic, three quarter elliptic,
cantilever and platform springs being
the most common.
How Springs Are Made.
All springs, regardless of their type,
are made up OF n number of separate
layers Of fiat pieces of spring steel
placed one above the other, short
pieces being In the middle and the
longer ones extending through TO the
eyes of the spring. The spring is con-
nected to the frame by means Of n
spring shackle which is fastened TO the
end of the spring by n spring bolt
through the eye.
BY watching the springs carefully
when someone else is lettering the car
up and down you will notice that these
separate leaves slide on each other in
stead Of simply bending as most peo-
Pile suppose. In order to keep the
vibration of the axle from being trans
mitted to the body Of the car II is nee
essary TO see that the spring leaves
slide easily on each other, and I'm order
for them TO do this there must be a
film OF oil between the separate leaves
through their entire length.
without this oil film these springs
cannot slide without excessive friction
which means that they will not bend
properly and the spring action instead
OF being smooth will be stiff and Jerky
with the result that the car will ride
hard and the springs are more liable
10 break. In fact, most of the broken
springs can be traced to a lack OF
proper fabrication OF the spring leaves
Easy Way to oil.
An easy way to oil these is to put q
lifting jack under the body of the car
so that the weight will be taken or the
springs. The spring leaves are ther
easily separated by means Of screw
driver or a small chisel and a little
graphite In oil Is easily Inserted
Graphite is usually used with the OF
