she was brought home, dying Of tu-
berculosis. She died in Albuquerque
not long afterward.
She had done so much to relieve
people who we're trying to recover
from tuberculosis, that when her
friends wanted to show their love for
her in some way, they established a
free clinic for the treatment of those
afflicted with the dread disease. Hun
dreds OF persons have been treated
there, and hundreds of lives have been
saved thru the Bertha Hampstead Me-
mortal Clinic. 1t is one of the great
agencies for the prevention of the
spreading of the disease in Topeka
and Shawnee county.
The sale of Christmas seals, which
is carried on every year, helps to pay
for the expenses of this clinic. as well
as for visiting nurse, and rural free
clinics You can help by buying these

Santa Claus has won a home on the
Pottawatomie Indian reservation, near
Mayetta, 25 miles north of here. I'm
til three years ago Santa was a mere
pale face myth. For the past two
years Ike Gilberg. a Topeka tailor, has
assumed the role of Santa Claus for
tho Indian children. So successful
have been his missions that this year
the Christmas celebration is to be-
come a big fete at the reservation.
Joe Noctona, a tribal officer who is
reported TO be the leading candidate
for election as chief, is to be the
Santa Claus. He will don the red
coat, flowing whiskers, expansive
waist line, and all the required para
phernalia. The Christmas Eve fes-
tivities are to be held at the Indian
fair grounds hall, six miles southwest
of Mayetta. in the center of the reSer-
vation, which is eleven miles square.
There are approximately 200 Indians
on the reservation
Gilberg. however. will carry out his
customary part in making the Christ
mas affair a success. He says he will
solicit donations from Topeka mer-
chants. as has been his custom, and
see that there is an abundance of
candy. nuts and other goodies, and
presents on hand for the Indian chill
dren.
II has been a lot of fun playing
Santa Claus for the Indian kids" said
Gilberg. The Indian is very slow to
adopt any custom that mas no indian
tradition back OF it At first, they
were suspicious of this Santa Claus
business OF course. they had heard
about Saint Nc. ,Iru the white chill
dren who live on some of the reserva-
uon farms. but they knew ne ~~ver

children But for several years 1
have taken up a load of candy and
trinkets for them. and they now look
forward to Old Santa's annual appear

Dealers Plan to
Hold Own Spring
Model Showing

Ford dealers in every section OF
Washington will hold an exhibition
OF spring models simultaneously
with the showing of the larger cars
at Convention Hall this week.
As there are a number of Ford
agents in the city. II was decided
II would be more convenient to use
their own show rooms. Booths at
Convention Hall are at a premium
as a result of the large showings
to be conducted. All the Ford rep
resentatives could not hope to OBJ
tain spaces so the use your own"

The various agencies will be open
every eevning of the show at Con-
yention Hall. Here Is a list OF

ment to Insdre Better
Tire Service.

The time is at hand when car
owners will begin to give their cars
a thorough overhauling in prepare
ton for summer use. The attention
required for tires in this spring
renovation is very limited and SIM
pie.
One of tie first, and most impor-
tant points is to get the front
wheels into proper alignment. Bad
alignment is one OF the principal
causes OF tire injury. The first
symptom of misalignment is rapid
wear in the center of the tread. EN-
animation of the alignment should
include an investigation to see that
there are no loose bearings. for a
loose bearing mears a wobbly
wheel.
Examine the castings of tires for
cuts. II cuts are filled with heal.a
cut dough they will not Grow big

Tubes Should receive special at
tention, for once they have been
placed inside the castings they are
forgotten. Test the tubes for slow
leaks. Put new plungers in the
valves even IL the old ones appear
satisfactory. The rubber washers
in the plungers become stiff and
hard after a time and II Is good
policy to change them at least pnce
a year.
The pump should be tested. espe-
cially the rubber tubing and the
connections. II the leather piston

application of vaseline. II IL is

same advice as to inspection of con-
nections applies in the case OF a
mechanical pump attached to the
engine. See that the pump is well
oiled, especially in the cylinder. but
avoid excess oil as IL may find its
way into the inner tube.
When these few things have been
done and the motorist has equipped

Makes New Auto
With High Degree
OF Motor Power

To supply the ever increasing de-
mand for greater motor perform
ance, Mitchell engineers have de-
signed an entirely new motor in
which they have developed a high
degree OF combustion.
By this development Mitchell en-
gineers have revealed, to the auto
motive Industry in general the long
sought for ideal-a low speed motor
developing unusually high torque at
low engine speed.
This desirable feature is the re-
suit OF perfect combustion which
is due to the highly perfected sys-
TEN of carburetion. The peculiarly
designed intake manifold supplies
an equal amount OF highly vspor-
lied fuel TO each Of the six cylinders
at all speeds. thereby eliminating
the usual carbon nuisance and foul
ing spark plugs.
This development is amplified by
the preference Mitchell engineers
have given to those principles
which tend to minimize internal
friction and to conserve that power
which is commonly consumed by
the engine itself.
Therefore, the Mitchell can very

AUTO CAMP SITES
ASSETS TO CITIES
Over Thousand Already Els.
tablished Throughout
Country.

WATERLOO, Iowa, March 25.-
Camping grounds for automobile
tourists have become an important
asset to every town and city To-
Gated on a highway or primary
road. More than 1000 are now in
existence and others will be Opened
this summer.
What goes to make an ideal
camping ground? This question has
been answered by L. B. Strothman,
engineer. map designer and head of
the United States Touring Infor-
nation Buseau, of this city. After
a survey of camping grounds in all
sections of the United States, Mr..
Strothman has issued the follow
ing Specifications for the guidance
of city and town officials:
Essentials of Camp sites.
Camping grounds should be east y
accessible from the business sec
ton. Signs should be placed about
the business section and on roads
leading into town to direct tourists
to the grounds.
Signs in the grounds should d.
rect tourists to a reliable source
of touring information and other
signs should give rules and reguia-
tions plainly.
Wooded ground is preferable and
much more pleasant. Natural drain
age is essential and when possible
the camping grounds should be on
high rather than low ground in
order to afford protection from in
sect pests.
Permanent shelter would be ap-
preciated by every tourist in event
Of Indictment weather and will add
much to the value of the grounds
as an advertising asset for the
city. Such shelter should have a
smooth floor surface. Stoves should
be set up and maintained in disable
condition.
Sanitation, Fuel and Water.
Sanitary toilets, with due respect
to decency, should be provided.
Garbage cans are essential and
signs should be posted command
ing that refuse be deposited in
designated places. Fresh water
should be piped from the city sup
ply. II this Is impossible then
deep well water should be avail
able. Fuel should be attainable. In
many cities wood is cut and corded
in the grounds by order of park Of
fcials. A few lights about the
grounds and in the shelter will be
appreciated by tourists. whenever
possible. telephone facilities should
be available.
Some form of protection is always
desirable. II a caretaker cannot
be afforded then direct communica-
ton with the police station should
be established. Access to bathing
beaches, fishing waters and other
amusements will be enjoyed by
tourists.

Maryland May
Adopt Laws to
Curb Car Thief

ANNAPOLIS Nd, March 25.-
Three new sections are proposed to
be added to the motor vehicle law
by a bill just introduced by Sena-
tor Mcintosh. All OF them are de-
signed to diminish thefts of cars.
The first section requires all
dealers in motto. vehicles to be reg
istered in the office of the commits
sioner of motor vehicles. The sec
Ond prohibits the sale of a second
hand motor vehicle not registered
in this State without first obtaining
the permission of the motor vehicle
commissioner, and the third re-
quires the surrender of the GER
tificate of title when one is dispos-
sessed of a motor vehicle through
operation of law and authorizes the
issuance of a new certificate.
