PILGRIM PAGEANT.
Fiesf Ter-Centenary Celebration Now
Being Held at North Truro, Mass.

Being Held AT NOftn lTuIo, hdSS-
BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Boston, Mass, Aug 25.-The first ter
centenary Pilgrim pageant OF the year is
being presented today at North Truro,
Mass, way down along Cape Cod, m q
. natural amphitheater overlooking fresh
water pond where the Pilgrim Father s
camped. One hundred and sixty towns
folk OF North Truro, Truro and Corn hill
will impersonate Pilgrims, Indians and
sailors of the period. Features of the
pageant include the lootlngot a deserted
Indian wigwam by the Pilgrims, duel
between two of the Mayhower company
fought over maidservant, the kidnapping
of lost child by the savages and an ex-
citing encounter between the Indians
and Pilgrims. Between the episodes
group of % barefooted glrls will dance
four numbers.
The historical facts set forth in the
pageant are these: The Pilgrim fathers
first set foot on American soil November
2l, 1920, at Provincetown. The first ex-
pendition sent out from the Mayfiower
to look out place for habitation, went
ashore November 25, 1920 and tramped
TO North Truro, a few miles up the cape.
The Pilgrims had their drink OF New Eng
land water somewhere between High
Head and North Truro November 26,
1920 On the same date at Corn Hill they
found the first Indian corn they ever saw,
stored In baskets, buried IN mounds OF
sand. This they took with them. 1t was
this corn that later kept the Plymouth
colony from starvation. This important
episode OF the finding of the corn ante
dates the Plymouth landing by about
three weeks.
The pageant has been in preparation
for a year, and is largely in the hands of
summer residents.

GASOLINE SITUATION ANALYZED

". A. Woods, in commenting upon the
rumors concerning q gasoline shortage in
this country, says: Most of the talk was
brought about by transportation difficult
ties. An increase of FIVE cents gallon on
the price of gasoline would only mean SIS
a year to the motorist, and that would
hardly force many to give up the use of a
motor vehicle which has proved itself to
be a necessity.
Motorists, should, however, try to
save gasoline as 100000 cars in the
United States mean big consumption.
Motor vehicles are the heaviest users of
gasoline, using III 1919 more than 3, l07, :
654, 600 out of the total consumption of
3,S0S, 800, Gao gallons. "A passenger car
uses 800 gallons of gasoline yearly and a
truck, /, 500 gallons. Other users are air
planes, motor boats, railway motor cars,
farm tractors, stationary and portable
engines, paint and varnish manufacture
cleaning industry, gasoline stoves and
rubber manufacture.

Carburefor Adjustment.

Although caution has been advised
against attempting to adjust the carburetor
until il is found to be absolutely neces-
sarv, the novice should learn the makeup
of his carburetor and be able to make an
adjustment if it is necessary. 1t may be
taken for granted that the adjustment
once made will remain unless somebody's s
fingers change it. But it is possible for
water or dirt to get In the carburetor and
interfere with its proper working. The
adjustment should be to give as lean a
mixture as will fire readily without back
fire and to have the float not too high.

BADGERING OUR BADGER.

A 40O-year-old fraud upon American
biologists has just been reported at the
London Geological Gardens as disclosed
by contributor in The London Daily
Mail. This four century-old hoax has to
do with the identity of the badger For
more than 400 years scientific Americans
imagined that there were badgers on this
continent and now along comes II. /.
Pocock, Curator Of Mammals to the
London Geological Society, and disrates
the animal.
An American badger was sent to the
London loo and in order 20 make an
Instructive comparison it was put in a
cage adjoining some British badgers. No
one ever saw the animals in both cages
simultaneously. The British badgers
slept all day and the American sample
all night. MIR. Pocock investigated with
the result that he placed he American
beast in otally new tribe.

LINCOLN ROUTE CHANGES.
Defours In Philadelphia Avoid he Con-
ges:ed District.

Philadelphians, and all other automo
billsts who have occasion To follow ths
Lincoln Highway through that city, vii
be interested TO know that as a result ol
the work which is now under way, the
Lincoln Highway routes through Phlla-
delphia have been changed. The Lincoln
highway reaches the city by way Of the
Northeast boulevard and then separates
into two routes, one of which takes the
tourist through the center Of the city and
the other keeps away from the central
congestion.
The new route through the center OF
the city turns south on Broad street to
Walnut, west on Walnut to Sixty-third
street, north on Sixty-thIrd street TO
Lancaster pike and west on Lancaster
pike out of the city.
The outside route runs from North
east boulevard, via Hunting Park avenue
and City Line avenue, to Lancaster pike,
where it joins the other route westward
out of the city.
Both of these routes through Philadel-
phia will be plainly marked on the cleo
trio light poles within the next few days.

Look at the exhaust when the engine is
running and see if any black smoke can be
detected. Hold white cloth behind the
exhaust for moment and see if there is a
black deposit on it. Be sure that black
smoke means that YOU are burning up

slightly ring which is often left. When
sponging a stain, commence at the
outside and work towards the center;
this prevents the spreading of the
grease.
1t is always safer to test the
cleanser on a scrap of material to see
that the color is not affected. Chloro-
form and ether are good grease solv-
ents for delicate fabrics.
Good Cleaning Fluid.
Cut four ounces of CASTLE soap into
a quart of soft water and heat until
the soap is melted. Remove from the
fire and add two quarts of cold soft
water. When the liquid is quite cold,
pour into it four ounces of ammonia,
two ounces Of alcohol and two of
ether. Bottle and cork tightly. When
using shake the bottle well and apply
with a sponge or cloth and rinse in
clear water. When fast-colored dress
goods are to be washed, add a cupful
of the fluid to a pailful of soft water;
soak the garment in this water, wash
and rinse thoroughly.
To remove grease spots from wooden
garments, first rinse in alcohol to
which salt has been added 1.-TWO table
spoOnfuls to one cupful Of alcohoD.
The grease will come out as if by
magic. Then wash in warm suds to
restore the softness which they had
when new.

Flabbiness OF checks, chin or neck was
considered very difficult to correct, until
the discovery Of what has proved to be
veritabIe wonder-worker for such condi-
tions. The preparation is so simple and
harmless any woman can easily make and
apply Il. 1t is all the more remarkable in
that its beneficial effects are apparent even
after the very FIRST application. both as to
appearance and the feeling Of comfort pro-
duced.
The formula is: One ounce powdered
ga axolite dissolved in one-half pint witch
hazel Use daily as a wash lotion. The
solution tends to contract and solidify the
loosened, baggy tissue, smoothing out the
folds creases and wrinkles, besides having
a refining influence on skin OF coarse tex.

anyone can try this successful recipe.
