SUGGESTIONS.
To Wash a Hair Brush, use soda
instead of soap. Soap softens the
bristles, while soda does not, and
| it cleans very quickly.
To Polish Eyeglasses Leave
them in the water until they are
warmed through instead of just the
surfaces, They will shine much
! better.
/ A Time Saver-A mother will find
that she has many hens to rip out
of clothes for the children. When
making the garments, sew the hem
with a long stitch and when neces-
sary to rip, loosen one thread and
the stitching can easily and quickly
be pulled out
Put Some Kerosene in your
starch, and see what an easy iron
! ing day you will have.
To make rubbers wear doubly as
long as usual cut from the side OF
an old rubber or a heavy piece OF
! broadcloth a piece the shape of the
| the heel, a little larger than the
| heel, and paste inside. One will
find that the shoe cuts through. the
piece pasted into the rubber and
the rubber is saved.
For starching muslin, ginghams
and calicoes, dissolve a piece OF
alum the size of a hickory nut fol-
! every pint of starch. This will
keep the colors bright for a long
time
The water on cut flowers may
be kept sweet for long time with
out changing If a rooted slip such
as coleus or geranium is kept in
the vase. The flowers also keel

ammonia in one teacup OF warn
water; rub briskly on the shiny

To destroy the taste of castor
oil, beat the oil with the white Of
an egg until both are thoroughly

PLANS OF A. A. A. PROVIDE
FOR MORE REVENUE >,

Washington D. c.. Sept. 3.-Ac-
tivities Of Importance to every mo-.
torist in the country are encompassed
in the new ard forward looking plans
of the American Automobile Associ-
alton. Since the recent meeting of
the A. A. A. executive board, at
which time it was votedto widen the
scope of the organizations activities
and to raise more revenue to carry
on the work, the national headquar-
tiers here in Washington have been
fairly popping with "pep" and re-
sounding merrily to the hum and
hustle of putting the boards decis-
ions into effect.
While the committee in charge of
the organizations automobile insur-
ance plans is combing the country
for all the data information and
experiences necessary to establish
such an important bureau, Acting
Executive Chairman D. l.. Morgan
is making every effort to get A. A.,
A. legal counsel appointed in every
section of the country. At the same
time other members of the official
staff are working out and putting in

ed to benefit motorists generally
and A. A. A. members particular
ly.
In New York City and Washington,
where membership in the A A. A, is
individual and direct. nothing is to be
left undone it is said, that could be
considered an aid to members. In
creased activities include free tow
ing, free legal advice, special men,
bership theft protection and renew
ed and closer cooperation with po-
lice departments and traffic squads
in the handling of traffic and the
elimination of speed maniacs, reckless
operators. AMI all persons whose driv-
ing is menace to other users of the
streets and highways.
In Washington branch stations of
the touring bureau are being estab-
lished with the idea of not only max
ing it more convenient for members
to obtain touring information but
also to make such information avail
able earlier and later in the day than
has been the case heretofore at the
main Offices. This plan probably will
be followed in New York City.

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

1t was an adage among
The Romans, before the
Christian era, that nothing
must be said Of the dead I'M
less good. This might make
it difficult to review an au-
photography OF one recently
deceased. But when the
autobiography attacks the
living virulently, and with
an apparent malignance OF
purpose, it would seem that
the protection afforded by
the adage had been waived,
and that the natural right OF
self-defense might claim
priority.
The so-called autobio-
graphy Of William F. Nc
Combs, formerly chairman
Of the Democratic National
Committee, entitled tn e
"Woodrow Wilson Cam
paign" is being published
in certain newspapers OF
lurid tendencies, and the
first chapters have caused
arl1azement among the I'M
thinking members of both
the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties. The succeed
ing instruments, however,
have served to convince
those familiar with like in
stances, that the writer was
deserving more of pity than
condemnation. A strenuous
and complicated political
campaign brought about a
complete physical collapse
accompanied by nervous
breakdown. This is frankly 1
confessed by McCombs him
self. AS the disease pro-

increased, until the victim
became obsessed with the
idea that the whole world /
was engaged in a conspiracy
against him, and that he
alone was the moving cause /
Of all the great events hap
pening about him. This, of
itself, is a form Of mental
alienation, known as mega
lomania, in which the
patient has grandiose delu-
sions concerning himself.
The ancient saying, there
fore, need not be violated in
this instance. Rather, COM
