USEFUL AS THREAD CLEANER
Fairly Stiff Piece of Wire Bent Nearly
Double With Ends at Right
Angles Is Handy.

Every car owner who cares for his
own vehicle has had more or less
trouble with grit and other foreign
matter getting into the threads or
bolts or in the tapped holes about the
chassis. 1t is hard to dislodge this
dirt except by special thread cleaner
of some kind. BY taking fairly stiff
piece of wire and bending nearly
double and then bending the two ends
at right angles to the body of the de-
vice and filing these ends to fit threads
of the screw a very efficient little
cleaner is produced.

CAREFUL DRIVING

On wet streets the careful
driver is even more careful.
Skidding, once started, is hard
to stop. Turning the wheels In
the direction of the skid Will
help. But this is dangerous in
asmuch as usually there are cars,
or children, or curbs, in the way.
The only skid that you can con-
troll absolutely is the one that
doesn't start!
Slow. even turns; slow, even
stops; slow, even starts Will
avoid skids.
Do not disengage your clutch!
Tire chains are of assistance
on wet or muddy roads.
Clear vision, obtained by wind
shield wipers, is also essential.

LUBRICAT|ONIS
MOST ESSENTIAL
Life of Automobile Depends
Greatly on Frequent CLING
During Summer Months.

During the summer months, when
the motor car is being used so ex-
tensiyely, owners cannot place too
much emphasis on the necessity of
careful and regular fabrication. AT
this time OF the year the car is seeing
more service than in any other season,
and the life of the car depends upon
the special attention that it receives.
Theory of fabrication.
The theory of fabrication is to pre-
are working one against the other,
from touching. This can be done by
having a film of oil between these
two metals. And on this film rests
future satisfaction of the bearings,
cylinders, pistons and rings.
Oil should be drained from the
motor crankcase and replaced with
fresh oil at stated intervals. While
the motor is new the oil should be
drained and the crankcase flushed
with Kerosene, and new fresh oil put
In, at the, end of every 500 miles for
the first 1850 or 1000 miles. After
that it should be changed at the end
of every 1000 miles.
Remember that the additional mon
ey spent in regularly draining off all
old oil and refilling with new is money
saved through the long life of your
motor.
Use Pure Mineral Oil.
Never use anything but pure mineral
oil in the motor. Touring over heavy
and hilly roads uses up oil much faster
than city driving BY putting in an
extra pint. of oil every hundred miles
or so you are avoiding trouble with
bearings and cylinders.
Do your oiling before you hear a
squeak" for that sound implies a
rusted or dry bearing, and when once
in that condition, trouble is sure to
follow.
The construction of some cars
makes fabrication easy and effective,
especially those cars which are
equipped with double oilng system
known as force-feed and constant
level splash system, which insures
positive fabrication of all moving parts
at all speeds.

between an Americas team and a

The local basket ballists claim that

combination of players secured from
I the High, school team at Leslie and
other Leslie players, stating that
the combination was the strongest
team that Leslie could produce.
Now, this particular Leslie fan

local boys to meet the real bona fide
Union High school first team on
February 8 or 16.
The next move is up to the local
Fellows.
Following is the communication
from the Leslie fan which he re-
quests the Times-Recorder to carry
in full.
"In Saturdays paper was the an

the Third District A. G. NJ. defeated
the Leslie team.
I'VE want it understood that thew
did not defeat the Union High team
which is located at Leslie, but de-

has been organized only two weeks.

Richmond, Va, and forwarded

If your letter is intended as
joke, you will not be disappointed
In this reply. If, in reality, you
had not kept informed of the events
which have transpired since Febru-
airy l, 1862, when your bond was
issued; if you did not read of the
fall Of the confederacy, nor of the
Imprisonment of jefferson Davis,
the great president of the confed-
eracy, in Fortress Monroe, nor of
his death in 1889, and if you have
been unaware Of the great progress
of our reunited country, this letter
may be rude awakening to a mod
ern Rip Van Wrinkle.
The State of Georgia was forced
to repudiate her war debts, incIud-
ing bonds of the character of yours.
This was done under amendment to
the constitution of the United States,
and under coercion of the federal
government, as a condition to the
Yeadmission of Georgia to her former
place as a state of the union.
Enclosed find $500 in Confederate
money, in payment of your bond and
interest on same, before the obliga-
ton was repudiated. This money
is furnished by J. E. Addicks, assist
ant secretary of the chamber Of
commerce of the City of Atlanta, to
whom the bond has been delivered,
to be preserved as an historical curio.
While, like the bond, this money is
worthless, perhaps your neighbors
and friends may desire some of it
as souvenirs of the War Between

We trust it may furnish part of
the money needed "to get a couple
of cows and to pay some on your

NANSFN. Noble Prize Crowns
AN<AANOAAV " His Double Career

CHRISTIANIA, Jan. 15.-Fridtjof
Nansen, who has just received the
Nobel peace prize, presents one of
the most peculiar careers of mod
crn public men in that he devoted his
whole life to science until Sc years
old, and then suddenly veered to poll
tics and humanitarian work and
achieved as great distinction in the
latter field as in his earlier life.
Nansen, famed as an artic explor-
er, zoologist, author, relief worker
and diplomat, was born at Frozen,
near here in 1861.
He attended the University of
Christiania, specializing in zoology.
At 81, having graduated, he under
took his first polar expedition in east
Greenland.
Crosse Greenland
In 1888 he crossed the ice cap of
Greenland for the first time, under
going great peril and suffering. He
described his experiences in two vol
umes.
In 1897 he became professor Of
zoology at the university here.
He had long cherished the idea of
drifting across the north pole on
moving ice pack. He undertook such
a venture in 1898 and was forced to
spend a winter in an ice hut in the
artic.
Word came back to civilization
that Nansen had discovered the
north pole. On his return he denied
this, but admitted he had penetrated
the ice packs to within PIP miles %
the pole.
In 1905 a crisis arose between
Norway and Sweden over their polit-
ical separation. Nansen then went
into politics and campaigned with
his pen for separation. The cause
won.
