SPRINGS SHOULD BE
GIVEN PROPER CARE
Leaves Slide Upon One Another
When Car Moves.
Mud, Dirt and All Foreign Matter Can
Be Excluded by Covering With
Boots-Good Grade of Leath-
er Substitute Favored.

The leaves of an automobile spring
are intended to slide upon one another
when the car is in motion. Many car
owners allow the springs to get dirty,
to go without fabrication and to be-
come very rusty. The leaves become
so dirty that instead of sliding on
each other, they work almost as if
they were one solid piece of steel.
Then, when the car strikes hole or
a bump In the road the springs are
compressed and instead of each leaf
working as a separate unit, the lower
leaves of rusty spring are held fast
to the upper leaves. The reaction
from the compression of such spring
is many times greater than the reac-
ton of a clean, well fabricated spring
where the leaves are allowed to slip
on one another as they should.
The first step toward a remedy is to
keep mud and dirt and all foreign
matter away from the springs. This
can be done effectively by covering
them with boots. Some supply stores
carry covers to fit a good range Of
sizes Of springs, but If you can't buy
them already made, you should be able
to make them yourself, sewing them
together of leather or a good grade of
leather substitute, advises Motor Life
Magazine. The advantage of the latter
material is that 1t is much cheaper
than leather, and being waterproof, it
VIII keep dirt and moisture away from
the springs.

VARIOUS KNOCKS
OF AUTO ENGINE
One of Most Delicate Problems
Amateur Motorist Has to
Deal With. retl
LISTENING DEVICES ASSIST
Each Faulty Motor Part Has Different
Sound, Which Comes in Regular
Neutrality-suspicious. Obtained
by Practice.

One of the most delicate problems
the amateur mOtorist has to deal with
Is that of distinguishing between and
locating various engine knocks. While
there are numerous listening" devices
on the market, experience is, as usual,
the best teacher, and will enable you
to repair it before 1t develops into
serious trouble. A few of the mysteri-
Gus knocks are described below.
The more experience one has in lis
tening to knocks, the more expert will
one become in finding them and telling
what is loose. Each faulty motor part
has different knock, which comes al
ways in regular periods relatively to
the speed of the engine.
Locating the Trouble,
A loose connecting-rod produces q
sharp bump or a very heavy hollow
sound. 1t is easy to locate the faulty
connecting-rod by running but one
cylinder at a time, in which case two
bumps are usually noticeable, due to
the relief of the explosion pressure.

HOW TO KNOW WOOL GOODS.
Some Simple Tests to Select Mixture
of Cotton and Shoddy.

The federal truth-in fabric bill now
before congress proposes that clothing
materials shall be correctly labeled as
to their content. Since the market to-
day is flooded with fabrics made up of
a mixture of cotton and shoddy, some
simple tests to detect these are sug-
gested by the home economies workers
of the agricultural extension service of
the University of Vermont and state
agricultural college.
Good woolen materials feel springy,
elastic and wiry. If much cotton or
shoddy is combined with wool in manu-
facture much of its soft elasticity is
lost.
One of the simplest tests is to burn a
sample of the material. Any all WOOL
en- burns as hair burns, leaving an oily,
gummy residue with an odor of burnt
feathers Cotton burns quickly and is
difficult to extinguish. If cotton and
wool are woven together the different
kinds of fbres may sometimes be dis
tinguished by pulling out the fibres
along the torn edge.
A better way to determine whether
cotton has been woven with the wool
is to unravel the warp and weft threads
and test separately by burning. IF
cotton and wool have been mixed in
the yarn the fbres of one strand may
be separated and tested as above to dis
tinguish the difference in fiber.
Chemical tests are probably most sat
isfactory. These may be carried on in
the home. Boil an inch square of the
material to be tested from 20 to 30
minutes in a pint of soft water in
which five tablespoonsful of either
pearline, gold dust, star naptha, or
four tablespoonsful of powdered wash
ing soda has been dissolved. boil
longer if goods is firm and heavy-)
Then transfer the sample to clear water
and rub between the finger tips. A gel
atinous mass viii be obtained, unless
wool is especially firm and heavy. In
any case each thread of wool will be
softer and gelatinous. The cotton
threads will remain firm and strong.
No very accurate test can be given
for shoddy, since it is all wool, but of
short staple. The best woolens have
long fbres, with few ends on the sur
face Very short irregular fibres which
may easily be pulled out from the rest
of the material indicate the presence
of shoddy.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH
WANTS NEW ORGAN
Pledge Cards Being Distributed Stat
ing that Old Organ Is Approach
ing Dissolution.

The rector and vestry of st. Mi
chael's Episcopal church are trying to
raise funds for a new organ for the
church, and with this in view pledge
cards accompanied by a letter are be-
ing distributed among the friends of

that the parish was organized in 1853.
the church built in 1858 and consecrat-
ed in 1863 and that the organ was in
stalled in 1870. A paragraph in the
letter says:
The organ which was provided by
the efforts of past generation, and
has for 80 years helped so largely to
sustain the praises of God in this place.
Is now approaching dissolution. by care
ful nursing its life and usefulness has
been prolonged, but this cannot con
tinue, very much longer. At the present
time we may utilize some parts of the
present organ to advantage in building
new one. This will. in a sense. merge
the present with the past: and present
and future, led by the voice of the
organ, will join in the song of the
angels and the great company of just
men made perfect EWe believe in the
communion of saints Let us renew
the organ, our chief help in our praise,
as a memorial of the whole body of tho
friends and worshipers of St. Michael s
that are gone before, thus empasizing
the communion of the saints on earth
with the saints at rest -

Mission of Smiles in Life.

What's in a smile? Not much per-
haps, sometimes, but again great deal
There is the smile Of love, and the
cynical smile of hate, the smile of ridi-
cule, and the smile of approval. The
language the smiles speak is of the pro
foundest depths.
The smile is the poetry of conduct,
sometimes the master of destiny The
fatal smile may unite two lives with ties
as lasting as eternity or break them
asunder and forever mar the holiest re
lationship.
Then there is the joyful message oi
the friendly smile 1t brightens the face
of the one in sorrow. 1t brings light
and gladness to friend and stranger who
are cropping in the dark for sympathy
and sunshine. 1t brings blessings to the
ordinary lives about us and makes all
our little world happier. Thrift Maga-
zine.
