Unnecessary Repairs.
GOOD POINTERS FOR OWNERS
Proper Care Of the Radiator and Reg

There is always a day OF reckon
Ing for those who neglect details In
the care of their car and that day Is
just likely to come when you least
expect 1t. What you think you have
saved by neglect will be spent In ex-

details Of thrice cheaper, and what
Is more, relieves future worries.
One detail Of your car which you
should watch carefully Is your radia-
tor. Trouble is sure to follow unless
1t is kept full at all times. Form
the habit Of inspecting and refllling
the radiator before the car is taken
from the garage When on long tours,
especially II you have been doing
considerable hill climbing. keep a
weather eye peeled towards the water
supply.

Water supply Important.

Remember that the proper amount
Of water is as important as your sup

bad plan to examine the water sup
ply every time that you stop for gas
oline or oil. Use clear water, and II
rain water Is obtalnable. employ 1t, as
less scale and deposit will result.

Stuart Gained Chairs
By Harold Donaldson Eberlein

The Stuart caned chair came into use
in the latter part of the seventeenth
century and was more pretentious in its
ornamentation than the earlier types OF
chairs that have already been described.
\ portion of the back was filled with
woven cane mesh and the seats were
either caned. like the back. or Of the
rush -bottomed type. The earlier Gaming
had large meshes. but as time went on
the mcshes became smaller. This made
the Gaming somewhat stronger and more
durable. Both nrmchairS and side chairs
were made with Caned seats and backs.
The illustration shows one of these
can"d side chairs thai once belonged
TO Robert Proud. the historian. and is
now in the collection of the Pennsyl-
vania Historical Society. The carved
and turned frame il Of walnut, tbe mid
die part Of the back is cancd. and there
is rush -bottOmed seat. In most of
the earlier Caned chairs the Cresting. or
ornamental carving al the TOP of the
back. is not used and instead there is
II straight top-rail. The front legs
