 Every automobile carries an excel lent steam vuicanizer. This may be surprising news to many motorists who thought they were on very intimate terms with their machines, but 1t IS so nevertheless.

A little vulcanizing cement is smeared on the rubber patch and around the hole in the tube and then the two are put together. placed patch downward on the radiator and held firmly until the rubber is cooked.
 Tie average life of an automobile. is 5.3 years. This was the actual aver age life of all cars that went out or service in the United States from 1918 to 1919, inclusive.

inc a well known woman of DeLand,
has made a clean brtast of his crime
to police officials.
Nichols said he wanted to make a
clean breast of the crime, but this
was after articles of jewelry found
in his possession had been positively
identified as those that had been
stolen from the DeLand woman, and
the local police were sure that they
had taken the woman's assailant.

1t seems Nichols told the woman
that he was a city employe and that
workmen were repairing the water
mains in the neighborhood and that
it was necessary to cut off the water
in the pipes of the house.
He asked her if there was "cut-

him into the kitchen, and he then
said he would cut the water off at

RACE IS GETTING HOT
Schools Holding Back
Their Report, But May
Be Late

Although the Kiwanis club made
brisk start in the postcard cam
paign yesterday, the Rotarians also
steadily poured the cards in to Sec
retary Hart at the chamber of COM
merce and when the returns were
tabulated last night it was found
that the Rotes were still well in the
lead.
A surprising turn of events, how
eyre, was the squirt made by the Boy
Scouts in gathering cards for the
prize Offered between the boys and
the Girl Scouts. The Boy Scouts
have, up to date, brought in 2,04S,
while the girls have turned in 2,O23.
But the girls are busy today and it
is expected that they will turn the
tables on the boys by tonight.
The schools who were active at the
outset, have not yet shown much
strength. The returns from the high
and grammar schools up to date has
been S42 cards. The Rotarians have
turned in 2,O1S and the Kiwanians
853, but this does not take into ac-
count the returns today, and Secre-
tary Hart intimates that the XII
wanians are putting on some steam,
and, with their large membership,
are sending in a chunk of the paste
boards.
C. A. Hedger, of the Hedger Port
able Garage company, has adopted a
novel scheme in sending out his
cards. He made up a list of 200 to
mail and sends each of these card
every day. Mr.. Hedger believes in
persistency, and several others are
adopting his plan, There is a suffi-
GENTLY diversified lot of cards to
send different one every day.

MAN WHO ERECTED A
MONUMENT TO SLAYER
OF A. LINCOLN IS DEAD

Troy, Ala, Dec. 15.-Burial here
yesterday of Pink Carter marked the
passing of the man who erected
monument in his own yard to the
memory of John Wilkes Booth, slay-
er of President Lincoln.
Carter, a former policeman, died
at the hom eof son in Savannah,
Ga. His body was brought here for
burial
Soon after the war between the
states, Carter bought the monument
and attempted to erect it on the town
square here, but his plans were frus-
trated by village authorities. Not to
be outdone, he put up the shaft in
the yard adjoining his home and it
stood there until few months ago,
when it was removed by persons
whose identity was never established.
The shaft bore the inscription:
ITO the memory of John Wilkes
Booth for the killing of old Lincoln"

Formal Announcement
of an Agreement Is
Issued
CONFER ON FAR EAST
China Has Thrown Some
New Complications
Into Discussions

Washington, Dec. 15.-With for
NAL announcement of a complete
agreement between Great Britain,
the United States and Japan on a
basis for the latter's acceptance of
the "5-5-32 naval ratio awaiting an
adjustment Of technical details alone
the focal point of the arms confer
ence negotiations appeared to be
shifting more and more today to the
Far Eastern discussions.
ON session was cheduled today for
the Far Eatern committee, which
adjourned yesterday subject to the
call fo Chairman Hughes after China
had requested that the treaties re-
sulting from the famous twenty-one
demands be abrogated and consid-
Grafton of the question had been
promptly objected to by the Japa-
rese delegates.
Causing Some Concern.
How the conference will staer its
course on this new element of con-
troversy in the Far Eastern negotia-
tions was the subject of serious de-
liberation by the other delegations
today, as they prepared for decision
probably at the next meeting as to
whether the subject can properly be
taken up under the conference
agenda. In the view of the Chinese
representatives, however, the sub
ject actually is before the conference
now and must be disposed of one
way of another. The conference also
faced an additional complication in
the Far Eastern negotiations today
as result of China's request that it
take definite steps to abolish all
claims to special spheres Of influ-
ence" which have grown out of the
several treaties with China.
Japan's request for retention of
the battleship Mutsu in substitution
for an older ship as a basis for her
complete acceptance of the naval
plan having been definitely agreed
to by Great Britain and the United
States, with provision for equivalent
to those powers, official
announcement of the accord was
held back today solely by technical
details yet to be determined regard
ing the British equivalent. The
United States under the arrange
ment, which in no way departs from
the "5-5-3" ratio basis of the Hughes
retains the battleships Col
orado and Washington in place of the
Delaware and North Dakota. 1t also
has been definitely settled that the
naval agreement will embrace a
status quo understanding as to naval
bases in the Pacific.
Another difficult question in the
Far Eastern negotiations remained
unsettled today, as the Japanese and
Chinese delegates continued thier
Shantung conference in an effort to
agree on basis for Japanese reiin-
quishment of the Kiao Chow railway.

REINFORCEMENT.
is ONLY HOPE OF.
CAPITOL REMOVAL.
Senator Russell Says He
Believes Present Fight
Lost
WILL HAVE THE FUNDS
Contentious of Ocal a
Lawyers Will Be
Overruled

Efforts to prevent the board of
state institutions carrying out its
plans to extend the capitol buildings
at Tallahassee will be unavailing, in
the opinion of Senator w. A. Rus
Isell, Putnam's representative in the
upper, house, who is a visitor here
today from Crescent City. Mr.. Rus
sell says that the only hope of cap
ital removal, as he views it, is re-
apportionment which will give all
sections equality in representation.
Although the state may not have
the money now, with which to carry
| out its contract for, capitol exten-
sion It will have it, Mr.. Russell said,
as provision was made for it in the
annual appropriations, The money
was appropriated for this purpose
just as it is appropriated for other
purposes, he said, and it would be
foolish to interrupt all state expen-
ditures simply because at the time
of beginning any work the money
did not happen OF be actually in the
treasury. All monies are appropri-
ated alphabetically, he said.
ReappOrtionment the Hope.
"If the people of Florida ratify the
bill passed at the last session of the
Legislature providing for "reappor-
tionment of the state at the next
session, and each etn years thereaft-
err" said Mr.. Russell, II think all dis
putes about capital removal will be
settled and taht the question will
then be brought squarely before the
people through their representatives.
l am very hopeful that this reap
portionment measure passes, and it
does not, as many people believe,
take any representation from Put
nam county, but adds to those coun-
ties where there has been an unusu-
al increase in population"

Value of. the Toes.
When on the courts keep on the
toes all the time. 1t is surprising
how many people keep to the fat of
their feet or on their heels when
playing tennis.
1T is a fatal mistake. for one can
never start quickly other than from
the toes. Those people who will not
heed this advice will discover that
they are always just too late for the
ball.
After the pupil has mastered
these highly important matters and
has become much more supple than
she was before she started, she
should learn to hold her racket prop
erly.
There is only one way to do this.
Grip the end OF the handle firmly in
the playing hand and keep the grip
on when playing a stroke.
Always cultivate the follow
through in a stroke much in the
same way as in driving at golf OF at
billiards. Don't work from the ell
bow, but use the whole of the arm
when making a stroke. Then the
back hand and volleys will be learn
ed more easily.
And here is another point which
is priceless. Keep your eyes on the
ball. Anticipate where it is going
to pitch, and be there to meet IT,
Never let the bali out OF your sight.
Watch It every fraction Of q second
and keep on your toes ready to speed
