CANVAS MUDGUARD IS

Devices Are Removed b Reduce
Weight and Vibration.
Oiled Cloth Affords Necessary Pro-
lection From Dust and Mud-ll.
iustration Shows Method Of
Attaching to Car.

When rebuilding a car into a speed
ster, the removal of unnecessary
parts Is desired on account of the
reduction in the weight. Mudguards
are removed because of this and the
vibration that ensues when riding at
high speed. 1t is, however, desirable
to provide guards for protection from
dust and mud when the car Is used
for riding other than on the track. Z.
Oiled canvas mudguards afford pro-
lection without adding to the weight
or causing vibration. In the appended
illustration the manner Of attaching
these Is shown. Each fender is held
by a single support from the side of
the body or frame. Using these as
supports for the upper end of the
guards, the canvas is led from these
to the running-board or to brackets.
The canvas should be doubled and
scanned, then soaked in linseed oil to
make it waterproof. When made
about eight inches in width, these af-

YOU AUTO KNOW

That in cold weather kettle
and dishrag-or any other
convenient piece of cloth-are
often invaluable in starting a
car that otherwise refuses to
work. The cloth should be wrap
ped around the carburetor SO
that 1t does not cover the air in
take and boiling water should
then be poured on the rag, al
ways being careful not to let II
get into che intake. The applica-
ton of the hot water will heat
the carburetor and intake pipe
to such a degree that the engine
will "catch" almost instantly, al.
though in extreme cases it may
be necessary to fill the cooling
system with hot water SO that
the carburetor chamber may be
raised to the proper temperature.
Whenever difficulties of this
kind are encountered, however,
cool water should be applied
first, then warm and finally hot
in order to avoid a too sudden
expansion of the metal which is
likely to crack with surprising
ease. 1t should also be remem-
bered that increasing the rich
ness of the gasoline mixture by
means of the primer or choker is
usually very effective in starting
with u cold engine.

WOOL CLIP AT LOW PRICE
Kansas Product Was in Poor Con-
dition

Only relatively small amount Of
the 1921 Kansas wool clip received
the highest price available, because
of the poor condition Of the product
Indications are that the wool growers
Guild realize a much higher price by
seeing to it that the sleeps coats
are in better condition when clipped,
and that after being clipped the wool
is more carefully prepared for mar
ket. OF the total Of 100000
pounds of wool sold through the state
pool, more than half has brought a
minimum price because it grades
poor.
These facts were brought out by
the annual report of G. G. Filing,
acting manager Of the Kansas Wool
Growers pool. The pool has been
operating three years.

NEED TRUTH AND COURAGE
They Are at Bottom of All Good Lit

Associated Pressl

Emporia, Feb. 22.-"Truth anG
courage lie at the bottom Of all good
literature according to Joseph
Hergeheimer, the novelist and short
story writer who, while stopping al
Emporia, on a tour Of the West
spoke before class in English liter
ature at the College of Emporia.
"An good literature has the quail
ties of truth and courage in COM
mon," Mr.. Hergesheimer said. "a
man must recognize what happened
under certain conditions and write
that down faithfully. He must also
have the courage to write what he
thinks. Most people live in droves
and think in droves, and they are
happy and well liked. Intellectual
courage means the hardihood to
stand by oneself. and not go along
easily with the current. A good
sport is the poorest expression in the
world; it is the description of good
squash, and means only that man
is afraid to have opinions OF his
own"
