DEFENDS NAME
OF ID. WALKER
S partans Knew His
Whereabouts For :
Years

ATLANTA, June 24.--Frends of
John =. Walker in Sparta, his home,
have known where the former banker
and religious leader was all the time
since his disappearance three years
ago, according to a statement by
James NJ. Lewis, Of Sparta, following
publication Of a story that Mr.. Walk
er had been located in San Antonio,
Tex. Mr.. Lewis stated that there
was no criminal charges pending
against Mr. Walker and that prac.
tically all of his financial obligations
had been settled some time ago to
the satisfaction Of his creditor.
The story, which originated in
Macon, stated that Mr.. Walker
might be brought back for trial on
charges of misuse of funds because of
he alleged shortage in the chain Of
banks headed by him at the time
he left the country
Nh Lewis said that Mr. Walker
had been in San Antonio for nearly
two years in the real estate bust
ness under his own name His state
ment follows;
MIR. Walker was for years a lead
ing business figure in Sparta, and
was closely identified with local re
ngious interests. 1t might be said
that Mr. Walker is not without
friends in Sparta and Hancock
county, thousands of whose residents
have been beneficiaries of his kind
ness.
About three years ago when the
erstWhlle bankers collapse came,
he left Sparta without giving his
destination. About two years ago,
he was located by some Sparta law
yers In Honolulu, and at that time
surrendered his business and his en-
tire assets to his creditors. lie then
returned to the United States, land
ing IN San Francisco on Dec. 2, 1919.
from which point he moved to San
Antonio, He has kept his own name
ever since his departure from Geor-
gla operating under it both in Homo
lulu and in San Antonio.
"Advices given out in Sparta are
to the effect that several persons
have seen a receipt in full given to
Mr.. Walker for all church funds in
his hands, prior to his departure
from the United States.
cit IS generally understood that
his former attorney, Hon. w H
Burwell was successful in obtain

ing satisfactory settlements of sew
eral prosecutions against Walker
just prior to, or Immediately after,
his departure. Mr.. Burwell was for
many years John D. Walkers per-
sonal attorney and once obtained the
signature of a number of the most
influential citizens Of the county to
a certificate of good character, IN
which 1t was asserted that Walker
was incapable Of doing anything
wrong This certificate was used in
a hearing before the late Judge En-
ory Speer.
From the vast amount of detail
ed Information which was not gen
orally known in Sparta, but which
appeared III the news item of the
Telegraph, the friends of Mr. Walker
In Sparta express themselves as be
ing convinced that the article made
its appearance as an aftermath to
the service of notices by attorneys
for the Virginia Carolina Chemical
company that the testimony of Mr..
Walker would be taken on July |,
to be used in case pending in Spar
ia against some Of Walkers former
associates who are now rep
resented by Mr. BurwelI. There are
no CRIMINAL charges pending against
Mr.. Walker in Hancock county. nor
are there likely to be any. according

LEAVES OF SPRINGS
REQUIRE ATTENTION
Without fabrication They Soon
Become Rusty.
Dirt, Mud and Other Foreign Matter
Can Be Excluded by Use Of Boots
or covers-Good Leather Sub
stitute ls Best.

The leaves of an automobile spring
are intended to slide upon N an
other when the car is In motion. Many
car owners allow the springs to get
dirty, to go without fabrication and
TO become very rusty. The leaves be-
come so dirty that. instead of sliding
on Zach other, they work almost as If
they were one solid piece of steel.
Then, when the car strikes a 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 a rusty spring are held fast
to the upper leaves. The reaction from
the compression Of such a spring is
many times greater than the reaction
of a clean, well-lubricated spring
where the leaves are allowed to slip on
one another as they should.
The first step towards 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 IL 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 will keep dirt and mois-
ture from the springs. 1t isn't a very
big job to make suitable spring covers,
especially il you can get some Of the
members of the family interested to
the point thai they will sew the covers
together on the sewing machine. Since
the fabrication on springs protected In
this way will remain in place a very
long time and Will not gather grit and
dirt. the slight expense and trouble
which the making and fitting Of the
boots will entail will be well worth the
effort.

CAUSE OF SQUEAKlNG BRAKES
Usually the Result Of Dirt or Grit
Working Its Way Into the
Fabric Lining.

Squeaking brakes are usually the
result Of dirt or grit working Its way
Into the fabric brake lining. This for
eign material presents a rather hard
surface to the metal drums, and the
result Is friction of sufficient intensity
to cause the unpleasant noise familiar
to us all. Usually the brake Innings
can be effectively cleaned with kero-
sene, but in cases where the dirt or
grit is very extensive, a small amount
OF rosln and castor oil mixed into a
plastic condition and applied to the
brake bands will be more effective in
overcoming %squeaking.

AVOID 0VERHEATING GARAGE
Sudden Change Of Temperature Is Apt
to Cause Vanished Coating Of
Body to Crack.

While 1t is, of course. most advan-
tageous TO heat the garage by some
means or other during the cold
months, there is another extreme that
should be avoided. II the heat is too
intense the sudden change of tempera-
ture when the vehicle is taken out
into he cold air, or when 1t enters
the ~overheated garage after being In
the cold, is apt to cause the vanished
panels to check and fine cracks to ap-
