KNOWING HOW TO
STOP AN ENGINE
OF More Importance to Driver
Than knowledge of How to
Start His Automobile.
GREAT AID IN SAVING TIRES
Applying Brakes Very Hard VIII Re-
suit in Tread Damage to Both Of
Rear Tires-Sharp Turns Are
Cause Of Skidding.

Knowing how to stop when neces-
sary is considered Of more importance
than a knowledge of how to start the
engine. The use Of service and emer
gency brakes is taught to the new car
owner early.
Being somewhat nervous and timid
the new driver may apply the brakes
very hard. with the result hat n or
both Of h ear tires will receive
trend damage. Locking the wheels
will not under all conditions bring the
car to an immediate stop. The mo-
mentum n weight will frequently
cause the wheels to slide along for
a considerable distance and grind off
h tread Of the tires in the same man
ner that street cars receive fiat spots.
A Stitch In Time, Etc.
When ground down to the fabric in
this way the tread should be given
early attention to protect the fabric
from decay and weakening effect of
moisture and to prevent dirt from
working under the rubber with prob
able separations of other tread por-
lions. 1t is well to inspect the inside
OF the case and repair any threads or
plies Of fabrics broken from strain.
Sharp quick turns or fast driving at
curves usually cause rear wheels to
slide and skid sideways. This not
only wears off the tread rubber quick
ly. but on account of the unusual
strain is particularly harmful to the
fabric body of the tire.
It is recommended that the service
foot brakes be given occasional In
spection. Any difference In adjust
ment In brake drums can be discov-
cred by lacking up rear axle Sc that
neither wheel rests on the ground.
then start the engine and engage the
clutch. II or application of the foot
brakes n real wheel revolves and
the other does not. or II one wheel
revolves faster than the other, the tire
OF the one turning slower receives
more strnin and under the circum-
stances excessive Yea to the tread
rubber may be expected.
Watch the Clutch.
The clutch plays an important part
~ af' 'hhNAtbNI VI hht taA "a ~ Att
service Of the tires. 1t is essential
therefore that the same be kept in
good order so that 1t will take hold
smoothly when gears are engaged.
Usually the taking up Of loose bear
ings and frequent lubrications will OBJ
tain the desired results. Avoid letting
in the clutch too quickly while the en-
CINE is running fast-such treatment
Is not good for either the car or
tires.
Spinning the drive wheels in mud
or on slippery pavements may grind
OF the tread rubber and some times
snag the cover along the entire wheel
circumference. 1t Is not unusual for
the tread under such treatment to be
torn in places from the fabric.

Wonderful Telescope.

The excellence of the big Lick tele-
scope, and the steadiness of the air
when the conditions are good on
Mount Hamilton, are attested by the
statement of one authority hat double
stars, whose c~omponents are nearly
equal in brightness, can be measured
If the distance between them exceeds
one-tenth of a second of arc. What
this means in accuracy of definition
may be understood by remembering
the fact that one-tenth Of a second is
equal to the apparent diameter of an
ordinary pin, viewed by the naked eye
at a distance of two miles.

LAYING OUT FLOWER GARDEN
Even With Small Space, Much Can
Be Accomplished in Making e.
fective Home Surroundings.

With a long narrow lot there is NOT
much choice in the arrangement of
borders and beds, but the effect will
be more pleasing If the center is left
in the grass, and have flower borders
along the sides, while at the far end
there might be a border of Towering
shrubs, the shrubs starting in the cor
ners of the side borders and running
across the end of the lot, the shrub
border being widest in the middle.
By having a nice curve to this border
which narrows down very much near
the corners an effect will be obtained
of -recesses or a~lcoves, which will De
more pleasing than if it were a straight
line.
1t is sometimes d good plan II 1t
works in with the back of the house
to have a strip of grass close to the
house where the ground is raised above
the main part of the lot, so n can
sit there and look down OF the gar
den, but If there is a back veranda
1t will answer. Instead of breaking
the center of the garden up with
paths, 1t would be better to have n
leading from the house to each side
border, and if u nice curve is given
these will look pleasing.-Housewife.

Town planning is the study and
analysis of all the different activities
which go TO make up the complex
organism of a city, he analysis OF
the city's establishment, its growth
and its future demands, with the re-
sultant laying out of plans. laws, reg
%ulations, etc, which will insofar as
practicable, correct bad conditions, re-
o obstacles and will allow the
future growth Of all activities along
well thought out and carefully studied
lines, in such a way that each will
bear proper relation to the other,
function properly within itself and
as a whole. Tersely, city planning is
the means of bringing order out of
chaos. and safeguarding the future
from a reoccurrence of improper con-

NEVER FORGET "HoME W
However Humble, Sentiment En-
shrines Spots in the Hearts Of Its
Sons and Daughters

1t isn't the fine buildings and the
broad streets, the gorgeous homes and
spacious gardens that count-it's the
sentiment lowering around the spot
that marks the "home town" as the
best place on earth, writes Florence
Webster Long in the Indianapolis Star.
IL this were not the case, only the big
cities would count In the summing up
Of the earth's worthwhile places. And
where is the crossroads town that
hasn't as many boosters as 1t has resi-
dents? Even the secluded homestead
way off in a lonely corner of the back
woods looms up largely as the center
of the universe. It's a sort of patri-
otism, it's a brand Of native pride, and
it's all mixed largely with sentiment
without which life wouldn't be worth
living anyway.
1 car remember long & visiting a
school friend whose glowing accounts
of her home had held out the glamor
of a glorious prospect. l can see in
memory that simple little home circle
set amid the humdrum monotony of
small village life, and my surprise as
l c~ontrasted 1t with my friends tales.
But now / know that the girl was
simply describing things as they
seemed to her, softened by distance,
hallowed by sentiment. and tinged by
the ~softening influence of a homeslck-
ness for the magic spot "home."

Health Of Trees.

Just as with folks, health is Of the
utmost importance in shade trees, and
no agency is more potent in marring

Magazine of Washington. A defoliated

not only worse than none at all. but.
as a result of insect injury. it is a
menace to the health or life of similar
trees in the neighborhood.

Rx Asaocinted Press

New York, July 2.-Conditions ir the government hospitals for the care of tuberculous soldiers. sailors, rended and criticised at the annua; meeting of the National Tuberculosis association here. The comments, 10th favorable and otherwise, were made in report presented by two of the five physicians selected by the surgeon general of the United States public health service 10 visit and inspect the hospitals for tuber- culous service men,
 It IS drawn up by Dr. George T. Palmer of Springfield. H.. and pr. Henry w. Hoagland of La Jolia, Cal. The physicians reported that they were surprised to find that the In stitutions were so efficiently con ducted In the face Of difficulties and obstacles that had to be overcome. They commended the attitude of the surgeon general in seeking to i'm grove the service and readiness to act upon constructive criticism
 The chief criticisms of the govern nent hospitals made by the two phy- sicians were:
 shortage of medical personnel. especially trained in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis
 Shortage of specially trained nurses and the lowering of the mo- rale through the social relationship Of nurses and other female employes with patients.
 Lack of Discipline
 Lack of discipline indicated in the prevalence of gambling, the use of tobacco, the abuse Of leaves and fur loughs and the participation of pa-
