II suppose we have such great
deal TO tell folks about ourselves" said
Mr.. Tennessee Warbler to his mate.
"Well." said Mrs. Tennessee War
bier, ''you might describe me and
might describe you. We both might
be too modest about ourselves. and II
would be fairer for each to describe
the other"
That's good suggestion" said Mr..
Tennessee Warbler. "Well. who will

"You begin" SAID Mrs. Tennessee
Warbler.

"But I'm not going anywhere" said
Mrs Tennessee Warbler.

Warbler, but It is true of more things
than going, It means that ladies should
walk through door first or enter the
nest first, and that they should speak
first and be considered first"
'But I'm a little bird" said Mrs.
Tennessee Warbler. "rm not lady"

COLD GARAGE CAUSE
Of MANY AUTO ILLS
Owner viii Under
stand Necessity for Heat.
Sudden Drop In Temperature is Bad
for Parts Of Engine and Finish OF
6ody-Many Difficulties May
Be Obviated.

If the small private garage is TO DC
used during the winter any car owner
of experience will understand the
necessity for heating It. The cold
garage causes many ills, besides the
obvious one of freezing up the radiator
Of the car. In most cases II Will cause
more than enough damage and incon'
venience fully to have paid for a COM
plete heating plant.
Most of the starting troubles so gen
orally complained of in winter may De
traced back TO the cold garage. A SUD
den drop in temperature is bad for the
parts of the engine and for the finish
of the body, which are susceptible tc
marked expansion and contraction
through such changes in temperature.
During the long nights of winter
great drops often occur, and garage
that is unheated subjects the car TO
unnecessary and dangerous tests.
Ice I'm the batteries is another recog'
nlzed evil resulting from the cold
garage. Also there Is the inconveni'
ence of washing when the car is COW
cred with frozen mud. II the car Is
cleaned with warm water to remove
the mud and the garage is cold the
paint and varnish are apt to suffer
serious damage, says a writer In
Motor.
If, on the other hand, the garage Is
heated all these difficulties and dan
gers are obviated. The place Is made
comfortable as workroom and many
little odd jobs may be attended to
which would otherwise have to be
transferred to the repair shop, to the
pecuniary disadvantage of the car
owner.

Sports Toys" is short caption for
a long story since there are sports togs
OF many kinds. The most fascinating
and interesting of these are the clothes
that have borrowed the character of
those garments made for real sports
wear but not intended for service, Just
"fcr looks" The sweater coats and
varied scarfs made Of silk or wool in
many fanciful and fragile ways. the
delicate colored headwear and the very
handsome skirts Of sports silks are all
examples of sports clothes made to be
admired for their beauty, not for the
usefulness to the sportswoInan. They
serve very useful purpose, however.
No matter how elegant and rich their
materials these clothes are informal
and very smart In character. They are
a part Of the play-the sports clothes
of onlookers-in which they are well
enough dressed and not too much
dressed for whatever the day may
bring.
After the brilliant skirts OF heavy,
rough silk weaves the most interesting
members of the sports family are the
scarfs and sweaters that are refined
and giorified notifications Of their
forerunners. the warm woolen scarf

CAR kept CLEAN
WILL live LONG
Some Excellent Suggestions
Given on How to Take Proper
Care of "finish."
FREQUENT WASHING IS BEST
Varnlsh Of New Car Is Benefited by
Use Of Clear Cold Water-clean
Leather Upholstery With Piece
Of Woolen Cloth.

THE engine of n car can be mis-
treated frequently before 1t begins to
complain, but the finish can be mis-
treated once or twice-then there is
no hnish left to mistreat,' says Will
nam Ii. Stewart, president of the
Stewart Automobile school.
THE lack of washing and the essen
tiai knowledge of not knowing how to
wash car will go further towards
running the appearance than any other
thing. The varnish of new car is
benefited and hardened by washing
with clear cold water. but mud that is
allowed to dry upon the body takes
the oil from the varnlsh and leaves
the finish mottled and streaky. Dirt is
not the only enemy. for gases from
the garage and even the atmosphere
of some towns attack the finish of the
car that is not frequently washed.
First Remove Dust.
begin by cleaning the top. Take n
good stif brush and remove the dust,
then either sponge or use soft cloth
with warm water and pure soap. A
chamois kept especially for the pur-
pose will tend to hasten the drying and
the top must not be folded until 1t is
thoroughly dry.
"The upholstery, II of cloth, is best
cleaned by sponging with water con-
taining little salt and alcohol. II OF
leather woolen cloth dipped In, clear
water to which few drops of ammo
nia has been added is best.
"1n cleaning the body, be sure to re-
move the nozzle of the hose and flow
the water over every part of the body
This will serve to wash Off most of the
dust and also loosen the mud. In
cases where the car is very dirty 1t is
best to do this and then let II stand
for few minutes before going over It
again with the hose. Then take soft
sponge and follow the hose over the
body. If certain portions are grease
spotted these should be washed sep
arately with pure water and CASTLE
soap, but except in this one instance
soap Of any kind should be avoided on
the body.
To Get at Grease.
''The road oil and grease that collect
on the running gear require different
methods Of removal and also other
tools. Special brushes will get at the
grease In inaccessible corners. In the
case of the wheel hubs, care should be
used to prevent water and grit work
Ing into the bearings. The chamois
used on the body should never be used
on the running gear, a separate cha
mois being kept for this one purpose
A heavy accumulation should never be
taken off by busting. 1t should be
made to flow Off with the hose. If you
wish to use body polish beware of
the many inferior grades on the mar
ket. If any, you should use the very
best grade obtainable."

to that they failed to carry forward

Some one has made the statement
that the former administration left n
81 10000 deficit When needed repairs
at state institutions and highways vir-
tually destroyed by lack of proper care
are considered this figure falls far
short of expressing the debit balance
bequeathed us by the outgoing Demo-
Gratis.
What has been done to relieve this
condition.? What efforts have we
made to place the State of Idaho up
on its economic feet once more?
Adopt Good Government
First of all, an enlightened form Of
state government was adopted which
swept into the discard forty-eight dis
connected boards commissions and
isolated officials and substituted for
them nine co-ordinated and thorough
ly efficient departments made directly
responsible to the Governor.
Appropriations were made for our
crippled educational institutions which
exceed by $8O5,388 the total granted
by Democratic legislature for the
previous biennium. Penal and chart
table institutions were similarly re-
juvenated receiving an increase for
the 1920 biennium of ,$5lo, $50
Only two votes were recorded
against two-mill levy for state high
way purposes expected to raise ap-
proximately 100000 for the ade-
quate road program now under way.
This appropriation insured to the state
federal moneys totaling $3360,000
which otherwise would have been lost.
Seven and one-half times as much
high way work has been launched by
the new bureau. of highways as had
been undertaken in the entire period
between 1918 and the time the pres
ent bureau was organized in April,
1919.
Here, in tabloid form, are few
significant facts which bear directly on
the question of whether this admin.
istration can make an effective appeal
to the people of Idaho.
The land department saved tho
state $3ol.7 on the sale of state
lands in the Gem Irrigation District.
The administration added seventeen
and one-half times as much to tn,
permanent endowment funds of the
state in 1919 as was added thereto
the year previous.
False Economy Boosts Taxes
Idaho agricultural and livestock in
terests have been cared for by ar
appropriation $4840l3 greater THAR

granted for this uprpose.
OF the entire l9lo-2O tax funds, al
amount aggregating $3,20l,714 is to
