new AUTO COVER
PLACED CHEApLY
MotoriSt Found Work Not as Dif-
ficult as He Had Imagined
When Job Was Finished.
old TOP SERVED AS COVERING
No Special Tools Are Required, but
Great Care Must Be Exercised to
Cut Materials Exact Pattern
of Parts Removed

A motorist, who had painted his
roadster dark blue and had given It a
high luster with coach varnlsh. found
that the old mohair top looked shah
bier than ever by contrast. He de
cided to recover the top himself and
found the work not as difficult as he
had imagined.
He measured the amount of mate
rial required and bought sufficient
heavy, closely woven brown duck for
the new top. as well as binding tape
of the same color, some brown cam
brio for the shabby holsters, an oval
rear light glass with an aluminium
frame, round head upholstery tacks,
and little oak coach varnish.
Refinished With varnish.
AS he removed the top with a tack
puller and pliers, he noted how each
piece was fastened. He then rein
ished the top bows with varnish, cut
new stay straps from brown duck,
and made them fast to the bows. The
bolstering was covered with cambric
and fastened in place.
Using the old top as a pattern, he
next cut the brown duck to the exact
shape and sewed the places together
on the sewing machine with heavy
brown silk. The rear light was set
in the back section and then the new
cover was spread over and tackled to
the frame while the frame was held
In position with bindings of heavy
twine. The finishing tape was put on

and the top then matched in newness
the appearance of the newly painted
and vanished car itself.
No Special Tools Required.
No special tools are required and
nothing about the work is difficult,
although care must be taken to cut
the materials the exact pattern of the
parts removed and in aligning the top
bows properly before putting on the
new covering.
1t Is necessary to use a tape line
frequently to make sure that pieces
on opposite sides are uniform, and
that the rear curtain is located so that
the light is in a central position. A
new top usually Increases a cars sell
ing value far more than the cost OF
labor and materials involved-G. A.

OUR RAILROADS
confirms.
BY DR.. Frank Crane

It is about time that 1--WE, the people,"
realized thak the railroads of the country are
Our railroads.
They do not belong to @omebody else with
whom we are making a bargain. They are
an integral part Of every mans business.
There is not mouthful you eat, bit of
clothes you wear, or any tools you may en-
ploy, that are not directly or indirectly af-
fected by the railroads.
Transportation is the very life blood of
modern civilization. Not only the comforts
we enjoy, but the degree of culture to which
we have attained is entirely dependent upon
the swift and smooth transfer of both goods
and people from one section to another.
Whether the dominant interest of the whole
public in railroads means that railroads shall
be owned and operated by the government or
not Is a question that has not yet been worked
out But no one can deny that every railroad,
being in the nature of public highway, is,
at least, quasi public.
Our immediate duty the duty of every citi-
zen, is not to champion public ownership, nor
to champion private ownership, not to form
his own opinion about these things, and be
willing to wreck everything to maintain that
opinion, but to take such attitude the
whole subject as shall enable the situation
to be worked out without violence or loss by
the normal processes of business and govern
ment.
The disposition to attack the railroads is
deplorable. Elisha Lee, vice president of the
eastern region of the Pennsylvania Railroad
System in address the other day at Phila-
delphia, used these strong words:
"Plans are being laid to make the railroads
the football aof politics with the re-assembling
of congress next fall, and again in the presi-
Dental campaign Of 1924. To speak in plain
language, there are men who, for the sake of
the votes necessary to get or hold a political
job, would be. willing to wreck the railroads at
the very moment when the country needs
their services as never before.
Of Intentions
have been proclaimed openly. Any man who
for the sake of office and power will play sec
tional or class prejudices against each other
for the purpose Of precipitating breakdown
of the railroads at this critical period is NOR
ally, If not in the exact legal sense, guilty OF
treason against his country. I know that is a
strong statement. I have considered it care
| fully and believe it is fully warranted by the
facts"

THE GIRL
BY BERTON BRALEY

BY BERI ON BRALEY
" OU'VE got it all planned, what you
do with your life,.
How, singly, you'll plunge In the
heat of the strife,
Without being "hampered or bound by
a wife"
And wrest your success from the midst
of the throng.
And then-then a girl came along!
A girl came along! And your heart sings
song.
without her you feel that the world would
go wrong;
You'll know how it Is when girl comes
along!
You've wanted to travel, to rove and to
roam
BY mountain and valley and over the
foam,
without any family waiting at home,
And marriage, you think, is "a chain and
a thong"
And then-then girl comes alongl
A girl comes along! Oh, her magic Is
strong,
And you'll settle down with the home
keeping throng,
For that's how it is when girl comes
along!
You're sore and discouraged, you're down
on your luck,
You've lost all your pep and your vim
and your pluck.
The crowd seems to trample you deep in
the muck;
You cannot stand up at the clang of the
gong,
And then-then a girl comes along!
A girl comes along! Just a girl from the
throng,
And courage comes back to you vibrant
and strong.
You rise up again. a man among men,
For that's how it is when a girl comes
along!

Weather Antics No1O and Then
w THATEvER the cause OF our goldfish
w spring and of the quirky summer
which weather-wise men forecast, it
is certain that ours is not the first generation
to experience such phenomena. AS far back
as chronicles go, stories of like disturbances
may be found; and, doubtless, a collation. of
the records would disclose cycles Of depar-
ture from the seasons norm. Nowadays
the trouble Is laid to sunspots. In Shake
speare's time the moon was held to blame.
Thus in Midsummer Nights Dream"
The moon, governess of foods
Pale in her anger, washes all the air:
That rheumatic diseases do abound
And through this distemperature we see
The seasons alter; hoary-headed frosts
Fall in the fresh lap Of the crimson rose;
And on old Hyems (winters) thin and
Icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as In mockery set. The spring, the
summer,
The Gliding autumn. angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries; and the mazed
world,
By their increase, now knows not which
Is which. :.
The OK hath therefore stretch'd his yoke
in vain,
The ploughman lost his sweat; and the
green corn
Hath rotted ere his youth attained beard.
This, the historians assure us, is a veri-
fed as well as vivid account of weather which
prevailed In England in the year 1594-and
of which we now appear to be threatened
with repetition.

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY

. They that forsake the law praise the
wicked; but such as keep the law contend
with them. Evil men understand not
judgment; but they that seek the Lord
understand all things. Better is the poor
that walketh in uprightness, than he that
is perverse in his ways, though he be
rich. Whose keepeth the law is a wise
son; but he that is a companion of riotous
men shameth his father He that by uSury
and unjust gain increaseth his substance
he shall gather it for him that will pity
the poor. He that turneth away his ssr
from hearing the law, even his prayer
shall be omination.-Proverbs 28:4-0.

Better Times on the Farm

Better Times on the Farm
a 8 one of the great agricultural states
~ Georgia has cause for especial rejoic-
ing over the betterment of rural bust
ness indicated by two news items of the day
More than twenty-sevon thousand tractors of
certain make were sold during the nrst
quarter Of the current year, or three times as
many as in the same period of 1922. That is
one Of the signs Of quickening prosperity
The other is this: "The sales of one of the
biggest mail order houses, which does most
of it's business with farmers, was nearly forty
per cent greater during the first four months
of this year than last"
While 1t has long been manifest that agri-
culture was recovering from the worst effects
of the wars economic reactions in 1920 and
1921, we are now cheered beyond the highest
expectations of q twelvemonth ago. This Is
not to say that the recovery is everywhere as
yet complete. nor to intimate that the need
for prudent steering is over The fact is
that the hazards Of rising tide OF prosperity
are Outlines greater than those of q season
OF depression. 1t is nevertheless plain that
the rank and fle Of American farmers began
the present planting season with strengthened
confidence and widened resources
That able economist, Professor Davis Fri
day, Is quoted by the New York Times as say
ing (we quote not literally but In substance):
"The agricultural output measured in physical
units Is about 40 per cent greater now than
it was in 1900. During this same period
the number of people producing these COM
modities has not increased by more than 10
per cent. 1t follows, therefore, that the out
put per person today is rs or 80 per cent
greater than it was two decades ago.
ing has risen correspondingly."
The real income per person engaged in farm
ing has been risen correspondingly."
1t thus appears that farming, in the main. is
more prosperous now than two decades ago
a conclusion which the news of the season
confirms.

Nov, why did he do that?" he reflected
He sat for some time, thinking deeply, and
he came to one important conclusion. The
story Gregory had told was the one which
was absolutely calculated to shut off all fur
Their inquiry. They had had ten years; ten
years to plan, eliminate and construct; ten
years to prepare their defence, in case Clark
turned up. Wasn't that why Gregory had
been so assured? But he had not been con-
tent to let well enough alone; he had per-
haps overreached himself.
Then what was the answer? She had
killed Lucas, but was it an accident? And
there must have been a witness, or she would
have had nothing to fear. He wrote out on
bit of paper three names, and sat looking at
them:

TLIzABETH had quite definitely put Dick
out of her heart. On the evening of
49, the day she learned he had come back
and had not seen her, she deliberately killed
her love and decently inferred it. She burned
her notes and his one letter and put away
her ring, performing the rites not as rites
but as a shameful business to be done with

She knew now that she would marry Wal
lie Sayre. He would have to know the truth
about her, that she did not love anyone not
even her father and her mother. She pre-
tended to care for fear of hurting them but
she was actually frozen quite hard She
did not believe in love. It was terrible
thing, to be avoided by anyone who wanted
to get along, and this avoiding was really
quite simple. One simply stopped feeling.
On the Sunday after she had come to this
comfortable knowledge she sat in the church
as usual, in the choir stalls, and suddenly
she hated the church. She hated the way the
