BRIGHT Idea.

He was full of his trip on the Ber-
engaria, the biggest ship in the world,
and. talking to his best girl between
the acts of the play, he said:
do you know the Berengaria can
steam "a knots?"
Taking another chocolate from the
box that rested in her lap, she said,
with a bright smile:
ST suppose they steam the knots so
that the sailors can unite them more
easily. Is that it, George?"

SAVE AUTO FROM
WINTER TROUBLE
Care of Finish, Engine and Bat
terry Among Most important
Items in Cold Weather.
HOT WATER Quite INJURIOUS
Heat is One of Vital Factors in priv.
ing During Severe Weather-Use
of Radiator Shutter or Cover
Is Favored.

Protecting the finish of a highly
polished car and conserving the heat
energy generated by the motor are two
highly important things to any motor
list.
Another highly important feature of
winter driving is the care of the stor-
age battery in the car.
The finish of car may be exposed
to serious damage during winter, due
to the fact that mud and water frozen
on the paint dull the finish and cause
the paint to chip. During the winter
months extreme care should be taken
to keep the finish free from dirt. Con-
trary to popular belief, hot water
should not be used in cleaning a car,
as it is equally as injurious as mud
and ice. If it is not possible to take
the car into a warm place for wash
ing, where the ice will thaw and can
be easily removed, lukewarm water
may be used without injury to the fin
fish.
Heat Vital Factor.
Heat is one of the all-important fac
tors in winter driving. During the
summer months the average driver has
little trouble with getting his motor
warm enough to operate smoothly and
economically, but during the winter 1t is
difficult for some cars to warm the mo-
tor enough to insure this efficient opera
ton.
AS a result gasoline passes by the
pistons and gets into the crank case :;
the gasoline does not give its maxi
mum power and the oil is not heated
to such a point where it will Intricate
the bearings and gears as it is intend
ed to do.
This passing of gasoline to the
crank case may be considerably re-
duced by the use of a radiator shutter
or cover for keeping the engine warm
during idle periods when it may be
left standing out of doors or in unheat
ed garages. Numerous devices are be
ing marketed for this purpose, ranging
from a waterproof covering to an auto
matte control shutter. A hand-operated
shutter which serves the purpose of
conserving the heat of the engine to
very great extent and is very economi-
cal to install can be purchased from
any reliable accessory dealer. There
are also on the market several devices
which are quickly and easily installed
and prove economical heating units.
Battery important Factor.
The storage battery of car is an
all-important feature of the operation
and one too frequently neglected. Care
should be taken at the start of the cold
weather to see that it is properly
charged. Any service station will be
glad to give you this information.
During the winter months, due to
the short days, the lights of car are
used a great deal more than In sum
mer. The starter, also, is used consid-
erably in getting the car running when
it is cold, and this results in drawing a
great deal Of power from the battery.
For these reasons the battery dis
charges more quickly than in summer,
and 1t should be remembered that q
fully charged battery never freezes,

PUBLIC IS NOW SHOWING DEEP
 INTEREST IN OUTDOOR SPORTS

CHICAGO, May 25.-CBy Associated Press. )-The 1923 crop of fans in out door sports bids fair to exceed all records. Baseball has started off with unparalleled patronage; reser- vations for the leading horse and au- tomobile racing events indicate enor- nous crowds, and the prospective summer program of outdoor boxing, especially among the heavyweights, doubtless will draw many thousands.
 Arrangements for handling specta- tors have been largely expanded in every spectacle from baseball and football to horse racing, and still seems inadequate.
 4 The Now York Yankees new park was opened to TABOO baseball fans with 25,000 turned away The Chi cago Cubs enlarged park April p inclosed 9S,OOO persons, and thou sands stood on the playing field New baseball parks in other cities were similarly favored.
 The management of Churchill Downs, Louisville, ky, has expanded seating facilities to care tor some 30,000 persons for the Kentucky Derby, but confidently predict that the total attendance at the historic event will approximate 100000
 Legislative interference having been overcome, promoters of the Me- momial Day au.o race at Indlanapoli are going ahead with preparations to handle a crowd of 150,000
 With a heavyweight championship boxing contest practically certain for this summer, and a meeting of the principal heavyweight con'tenders al ready arranged, the fan crop in the padded mitt division appears as flourishing as any. Chicago's first openly conducted boxing match for nearly 20 years drew 15,000, the ut most capacity of the Coliseum, early this spring. and subsequent contests have been almost as we'll patronized
 The first day's attendance at the four American League parks was 138,200 slightly more than double the 1922 opening crowd. The Nation al League opened to 95,300, 2000 more than in 1922. but the Giants opened away from the home crowd a the Polo Grounds, somewhat reduc- ing the total. The American Associas tion in five park openings drew al most as many fans as in all the eight cities of the circuit last season.
 The great increase in the number of public and private golf courses last year has added thousands to the ranks of the fans who will be eager to witness the American cham plonships of the links this summer
 The University of Illinois opens it's new stadium this fall; Nebraska re cently broke ground for new ath- letic field to be ready this fall, and Minnesota is conducting drive for a new stadium, in response to tn wave of popularity which has carrief | football to the peak in public interest. The Davis Cup matches for world supremacy in tennis are scheduled for Forest Hills, Long Island, again this summer, adding opportunities for the tennis enthusiasts to swell the ranks of attendance on outdoor sports. A new tennis stadium is being built by the West Side Tennis Club and will be completed by September

Games Help to Teach Correct Use of English


 HALIFAX, N. S., May ?5.-(-By Associated Press.)-Nova Scotia, long regarded as a well of English, pure and undefiled," today launches a ''better English Week Drive, with Miss Rosamond M de Wolfe Archi bald, teacher at Acadia Seminary in Wolfeville as enc of the leaders.
 Miss Archibald claims to have q brand new system of teaching the spoken word. She has invented a game, known as corrections

SINKS in GULF
Gale Too Much for Old U. s. 5.
Gopher--No Lives Lost

Washington, Aug. 22.-The L. s. s.
Gopher, a training ship on a cruise
with Ohio naval reservists aboard,
was sunk yesterday in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence during gale, according to
a message received by the navy de-
partment, which said there was no
loss of life.
The ship went down in SO fathoms
of water, said the message, which
was sent from Quebec and was signed

The Gopher was listed in the Of
fetal ships data" of the Navy de-
partment as an obsolete gunboat.
She displaced $40 lightweight tons,
was of wooden construction
throughout and was built at New
York in 1871. Her last station
was Toledo, Ohio, as a reservist
training ship with the Ninth district.
The Gophers armament consisted
of three 3-pounders, her guns being
just half the size of those now used
in the navy for firing salutes.

Conditions are steady but quiet in

nounced during the week, and the
general belief is strengthening that no
unusual price fluctuations will occur
for several months.
Jobbers report collections somewhat
slower than they were in July. De-
liveries from manufacturers to job
bers are reported to be better than
they have been for some time and no
serious shortages of fall merchandise
is expected.
Hardware men are watching with
interest the working out of the
eight-hour day in the steel industry.
Some anticipate, price advances before
long, but others believe that no dras-
tic move will be made until the pro-
duction schedules at the mills have
been tried out thoroughly and new
cost basis established"
