. s,NBoW PARTY FOR
M,ss SNYDER s I

MSS@SHiDEN
Ms Blanche Snider was beauti-
taly. entertained Thursday afternoon
sls ~ tbe home of Mrs. Guyton Fisher,
a. 'hen the members of Miss Snider's
sunday school class assisted by Mrs.
ssrsher, gave her a lovely rainbow
as,ty which was the outstanding So
fial event of the week.
Starring honors with Miss Snider
,sare Mrs. A. r. Royal, a recent bride
and Miss Hamline jerks, a member
Of the school faculty here.
The decorations throughout the
rrstty living rooms, which were
thrown together, were in the delicate
tints of the rainbow, the lights being
sboded with tiers of pink, blue, vel
low orange and green maline, with
has baskets Of delicately tinted pink
roses suspended from the chande-
The reception hall held decorations
If mink roses and handsome ferns,
while the drawing room was in rose
draperies the same hue appearing on
rho floor lamps and in the tones of
the floor coverings. Wicker baskets
filled with pink roses banked the
nantel. while Christmas cacti and
brilliant poinsettias rested on pedes-
tails about the room.
The dining room reflected the dec
orations of rose in its appointments,
roses filing the room with their
fragrance, while crimson SALIVA gave
the Yuletide inspiration.
AS the guests gathered and were
welcomed by Mrs. Fisher, they were
conducted into the drawing room,
where novel guessing contest
awaited them. Pictures had been
clipped from favorite magazines and
tackled to the wall, each bearing a
number until Sc were registered.
These pictures represented useful
articles which the bride would re-
ouire in her pretty home, every de-
partment of the home being repre-
sented by the clippings. One espec-
tally pretty one was the picture of
red-tiled cottage, this portraying
the advertisement of a popular roof
ing.
Mrs. Clark Poole was the most
successful one in guessing the largest
number correctly, for which she re-
ceived beautifully dressed Kewpie,
which she graciously presented to the
bride-elect.
Miss Snider was asked to take hold
of a golden thread which was con-
cealed in the reception room and led
around and about the drawing room
and into the dining room, receiving
the information that at the end of the
thread was the rainbow which would
lead her to the pot of gold. She
found herself at the folding doors
leading into the dining room, and at
her approach these were thrown open
disclosing to her gaze a scene of en-
chantment. Stretched across the en-
tire length of the room was a glor-
ious rainbow formed of layers of ma
line rejecting every color of the
symbol, the golden thread leading her
directly to huge pot of gold which
contained gifts of every description.
A bronze eandelabra, q precious
heirloom, held rainbow candles,
while beside the golden receptacle
stood miniature bride and groom

SPEEDOMETER HELPS
KEEP TRACK Of CAR
One Of Most Necessary Adiuncts
to Automobile.
When peranoements Occur They Are
Easily and cheaply Corrected
and Should Be Taken Care
Of for Protection.

II is true that a car can be run with
out speedometer, but II as also true
that when IL is so run 1t is like ship
without log-book and like a business
without accounts.
To the careful and prudent motorist
the speedometer, and especially the
mileage recording part of 1t, Is essen
tial to enable him to keep track Of the
performance of his car. All too fire.
quently, when one asks motorist !:
How far has your car runT the al,
swer is: Il don't know. The speedom.
eter went out of commission early In
the season and l have not had 1t re-
paired" Speedometer shafts do oc-
casionally break and other things hap
pen to these instruments once In while,
but when these arrangements occur
they are easily and cheaply corrected
and should be taken care Of ut once
or valuable car records are irretriev-
ably lost.
Traffic officers regard with incredul-
ity the estimates of car speed given by
drivers whose speedometers are not
working, and there is always GER
tain measure Of protection In having
speed indications always before ones
eyes when driving. The operator with
the broken-down speedometer can
know nothing as to whether or not he
is getting his moneys worth out OF
the gasoline he buys. He can only
guess as to this.
1t is the same with his fabrication
oil. 1t may be that 1t is being thrown
away at ruinous rate. What can
such an operator know In regard to
the performance of his tires and how
can he make any definite complaint
to the tire dealer In case they seem
not to have given satisfactory mileage
The fabrication instructions very
likely state that his rear-axle housing
requires repacking after each LOON

when to have this very necessary work
done? When he comes to sell his car

owner do but give very unconvincinl

The Lucky coaehman.

A reference In the news to a one
eyed racehorse which won the Grand
National in 1911-the only horse in
the race TO escape mishap-reminds
a correspondent Of the London Post
that In the old coach days blind
horses were numerous In stage
coaches and. being endowed with good
courage were considered safe and use
full. Sometimes whole team of four
would be blind, as "Nimrod" records.
"Well over that, sir" said one of the
old school Of coachmen TO the nervous
passenger beside him on the box on
passing over dangerous bridge.
"And only one eye among u.s." The
one eye was the coachman's own

Protect Spare Casing.

Special tire paints designed to
protect the spare tire from In
jury caused by light, air and
moisture can now be purchased.
These paints are black and give
the tire n glossy, smooth finish
which greatly enhances its C-
pearance. No special skin Is
required in the application. The
use of protective coating on
the spare tire is desirable, for It
is often exposed to the action Of
the elements for months before
1t is put into use. During this
time 1t is slowly deteriorating so
that its mileage is gradually cut
down. A suitable coating, there
fore, not only stops deteriora-
tion, but also adds to the appear
ance of the article.

The extent to which federal aid has
been applied TO the trails varies In
the different states. Naturally, the
:, estern states are using much more
Of the federal apportionments in de-
veloping roads of this character than
the Eastern states. This is due to
the fact that the routes in the East
ern states already had been improved
to 3 large extent before the roads
were selected by the pathtinders. This
was not true In the West, where long
stretches of the selected roads were
still In an unimproved condition when
they were designated.
Nevada leads In Its use Of federal
funds on roads of this character
Eighty-three per cent Of Its entire
mileage of approved federal-aid roads
lies on one or the other Of the trails
which cross the states. On these
roads Nevada will spend 30 per cen
of the federal money which has beei
granted. to her.
Indiana is close second, with 81
per cent of its entire federal-aid mile
