burned with the Yule log to light
the houses for the coming Of super

SETTING UP
THE TREE

or ALMOST every corner grocer's
VI stands can be purchased very
cheaply that will hold the Christ
mas tree firmly In position.
The simplest Of these consists of a
crosspiece Of wood raised little from
the floor by wooden supports and hav-
ing a hole In the center to insert the
trunk Of the tree.
More elaborate ones take the form
of wooden square, painted bright
red and surrounded by low wooden
railing.
Country dwellers who cannot pur-
chase these trees at the corner store,
but have to cut them In the nearest
wood lot, must devise some other way
of holding the Christmas tree In posi-
ton.
The easiest way to do this, If the
tree Is not too large and heavy, Is to
insert the trunk into the hole through
the bottom of q wooden box, and
either paint this box green or red or
cover it with green or red paper.
A starch box will hold up small
tree perfectly, but somewhat larger
box must be chosen for one of larger
growth. If, In spite Of all precautions,
the tree seems too heavy and Is in
clined to wobble, weight the box on
either side with heavy stones. Some
times the box Is filled with sand, the
trunk planted In that, and then the
wooden cover nailed In place to make
all very solid. T.
If one has any talent for carpentry,
even of the toughest sort, an effective
support can be made by mailing two
pieces Of wood In the shape Of a
square cross, holding the tree upon
this and mailing cleats to both tree
and support until it stands firmly.
A very pretty effect can be obtained
by covering the support Of the tree
and the floor directly around 1t with
white cotton batting on which silver
tinsel, called "rain" In most shops, has
been sprinkled. This makes the tree
look as IL 1t were growing in bunch
of snow glittering In the sun.

VAST DIFFICULTIES REMAIN TO
BE REMOVED AT COMING
CONFERENCE.
WILL WAIVE DEMANDS
PEACE TERMS WILL CALL FOR
DOMINION RULE AND PAR
LAMENT AT DUBLIN.
,we.,srn Newspaper Union News Service

London July S.-The premier's con-
ference, for the time being, is eclipsed
by the pence negotiations with the
Sim Fein leaders, Premier Jan Chris
tian SHUTS of South Africa has thrown
his prestige ON the side of settle
ment. The British press is standing
by him, and this, aided by the favor
able atmosphere created by the pres
ence here of the dominion premiers
has, it is believed, brought the Irish
problem much nearer solution.
Vast difficulties still stand in the
way OF an agreement Thus far Pre-
mier Smuts has been successful, but
the real obstacles will be encountered
when the British government, North
Ulster and the Sim Fein meet face to
face in conference.
From an Irish Nationalist source
closely in touch with Premier Smuts
and the British government, it is
learned what Eamonn De Valera is
likely to propose should he come here.
1t is declared he will abandon the
claim for an Irish republic, but will
insist on Il measure of dominion home
rule, with separate parliament for
North Ulster, vested with powers SIM
liar to those enjoyed by Canadian pro
vincal legislatures. He also Will ask
that the central or Dublin parliament
be vested with Il wide measure OF lis
cal autonomy.
1t is said he desires also that the
Irish parlinment shall have the right
of controlling its own army and navy,
if these should be found necessary
He will demand that the Irish control
the police and postoffice departments,
and will ask for fun recognition of the
unity of the Irish nation.
He will maintain that the Irish par
Lament should be given the right to
decide its own taxation policy and the
manner in which its revenue shall be
expended, holding that the power of
controlling the taxation of its constit-
uents is inherent in the parliament.
This would involve giving Dublin a
free voice on income tax, customs ana
excise, and also the right of withhold
ing any contribution towards the de-
fense of the empire.
Premier Lloyd George, it is almost
certain, would insist on an imperial
contribution, because the imperial par
lament would remain responsible for
defense and foreign affairs, although
in Il last resort he might agree that
the Irish parliament should have some
voice in the amount.
Then there remains Ulster. While
anxious to go as far as possible in
placating the south, British statesmen
are equally anxious TO see that the
northern section will be afforded all
possible rights. Sir James Craig, pre-
mier of Ulster, will enter the confer
ence, provided one is held, under re-
strictions, just as De Valera will prob
ably be hampered by limitations

PLAN FOR LAPPlNG PIST0NS
OF Many Substances Used In Opera
ton Rotten Stone Has Been Found
Most Satisfactory.

Many substances are used in the
operation of tapping pistons. Among
them are fine emery dust, ground glass
and rotten stone, of which the latter
gives best results. When the glass is
ustl there is always a possibility that
some particles of it will become i'm
bedded in piston or cylinder metal.
Racing drivers use rotten stone, mixing
Il little cylinder oil with it to form
thin paste. In tapping the piston
it should be given both a 'reciprocating
and oscillating motion.

BRAKE RODS REQUIRE

Majority Of Automobile Owners

The brakes OF an automobile are

If gwen proper attention, but because
II is lnconvenient to clean and inspect
and lubrlcate them, the majority Of
auto owners utterly neglect them.
Every month or two thele should
be an inspection Of the brakes from
pedal TO drum, particularly the parts
that are out of sight under the car
and difficult TO get ut, according to
II. Clifford Brokaw, of West side Y.
NJ. &. A. auto schools, New York city.
They should be cleaned of mud and
gummed grease with Kerosene, oil
holes should be opened up thoroughly
and every part inspected for wear.
Small parts which are worn may be
replaced for a few cents and this
may prevent n serious accident caused
by the brakes giving away at crit
lcal time. The brake linliage should
be fabricated in accordance with the
fabrication chart OF the car with per
sistent regularity. Brakes will work
easier, and give better service If they
are taken care of. Likewise they
should be kept adjusted so that they
work with equal force upon each
wheel. Uneven adjustment produces
undue wear on tires and is a frequent
cause Of skldding. The adjustment Is
