KENNETH TWICE VISITED BY
FIRE.
Army and Navy Store and American
Road Machine Plant Burned.

Army and Navy Store and American
Road Machine Plant Burned.
Damage estimated at $40, 900 was
caused in Kennett Square on Satur-
day afternoon by fire that wiped
out large frame building owned by
Chas. Noznesky, and threatened de-
struction to business houses, includ-
ing the Hotel Kennett, in the heart
of the borough.
Aid was summoned from Will
mington and West Chester to help
fight the fire. A Wilmington COM
pany arrived in time to assist Ken
nett's firemen in controlling the con-
fiagration.
A large frame building on South
Union street, occupied as an Army
and Navy store, with large garage in
another part of the structure, was
burned, together with a livery
stable.in the rear.
A short circuit in a wire on the
auto Of William Stout caused the
fire.
Three autos, valuable repair kits
and auto accessories were lost.
1t was impossible to save the Noz-
nesky building and the large stock
of goods in the Army and Navy
store was almost completely con-
sumed, together with the fixtures.
A small amount Of the stock was
carried from the building.
Noznesky purchased the building
only a few months ago, buying out
Way & Conord. His loss is partly
covered by insurance.
A second fire of even more serious
proportions visited the town on
Wednesday afternoon of this week.
when the plant of the American
Road Machine Co.,, Kennett's prin-
eipal industry. was destroyed. The
fire broke out about FIVE o'clock in
the afternoon and assumed such
serious proportions that flre COM
panies from Wilmington, West
Chester, West Grove, Oxford and
other places were summoned to help
fight the oonflagTation,
A call came to the Community
Fire Co., of this town, about seven
O'Clock for hose, and the big truck
of w, Louis Ryan was loaded with
several sections, manned by a nuns
Der of firemen and sent off In a
hurry to the scene. The loss aus
tanned by the Read Machine Co.
was ever 100000.

PuNCTunED TIRE
EASY TO repair
No Longer Necessary to Resort
to 0Id-Fashioned Method in
Fixing Up a Leak.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College CT Automotive Engineering
Chicago)
With the large number of conven.
lent vulcanizers that are now on the
market 1t is no longer necessary to use
the old-fashioned cold patch when q
punctured tire has to be repaired. A
cold patch, under certain conditions,
will prove satisfactory, but 1t is only
an emergency patch at its best. The
modern automobilist will add small
vulcanizer to his emergency equip
ment, and then, with perhaps a few
minutes more time expended, perma-
nent repair can be made. When the
vulcanizer is chosen 1t should be large
enough to handle a blowout or pune
ture at least one inch in diameter, as
it Is just as easy to make q repair of
this size as a smaller one.
With all repairs except a pinhole a
backing must be provided inside the
tube for the gum rubber to rest on
while it is being cured. This will hold
the rubber in position and help it unite
the fractured edges of the tube
Treating Small Puncture.
When treating a small puncture the
hole should be slightly enlarged by
cutting a circular hole. This will make
it easier to insert the backing and also
provide a clean edge for the gum to
take hold of. In the case of large
hole, this should also be trimmed. so
that the hole will be either circular or
oval. After the hole is trimmed the
inside of the tube should be scraped
over large enough surface to receive
the backing strip. This strip can be
made from piece of an old inner
tube and should be large enough to
allow liberal margin all around the
hole. Clean the upper surface Of this
strip well, roll it up, and push 1t
through the hole into the tube. When
1t is inside arrange It so that it is in
the proper position. 1t is then ready
to receive the cement. This can best
be applied with small stick, which is
inserted between the tube and the
patch on one side, while the other
edge is held securely to prevent its
moving. The tube is now treated in

FORDDAY BIG
FEATURE

The opening day, Tuesday, Sept. 20,
promises to eclipse all previous rec
ords for attendance. This has been
set aside of the fair commissioners as
Ford day, and a special invitation has,
or will be sent to every Ford owner
within a radius of $50 miles of Pueblo.
Ten thousand free tickets which will
admit the drivers Of Fords to the Fair
grounds will be enclosed.
Pueblo merchants in cooperation
with the fair commissioners and the
Arkansas Valley Auto Company are
contributing heavily toward making
this day an event long to be remem-
bered. 1t is estimated that 100 prizes
will be given to Ford owners or driv-
ers. The Ford that comes the longest
distance, the oldest Ford, the most dill
apidated Ford, the best decorated
Ford, the Ford carrying the oldest per
son, heaviest person, prettiest girl,
homeliest man, youngest person, ETC.,
ets., will be awarded prizes ranging in
value upwards to 500 each. In addi-
tion to these prizes, every person hold
ing paid admission ticket to the Fair
grounds on that day Gree Ford tickets
included) will participate in the distri-
button of several prizes, including a
new Ford touring cur contributed by
the Arkansas Valley Auto Company.
1t is estimated that 10000 Ford cars
will take part in the parade. On Ford
Suburban day in Pueblo this spring
one of the largest crowds gathered in
the history Of the city. The parade
was over seven miles in length and in
cluded Fords of every conceivable de
scrlption, age and color. a bucdng
Ford, specially designed for this event
attracted considerable attention. This
car will take part in opening day pro-
gram.

will receive full information by ad-
dressing a post card to ]. L. Beaman,

ally interesting evening program has
been arranged for the entertainment of

concrete as is the approach to the
garage.
The floor should be made approx
mately FIVE inches thick and should
be laid upon a bed of tamped cinders
or gravel, so that adequate drainage is
provided. The floor drain should be in
serted in the center of the floor and
the floor made to slope toward 1t from
all directions; pitch of e-eighth
inch per foot is sufficient One course
construction for concrete floors is
probably the simplest; the mixture of
medium consistency and tamped so as
to bring the finer part of the mixture
to the surface. 1t can then be
smoothed down with a wood float or
troweled with a steel trowel If de-
sired.
In building of this kind, which Is
approximately 20 feet square, it Is
advisable to use hip roof, that is,
to have the roof sloping in four di-
rections as this apparently lowers the
height Of the roof 1t is practically as
economical as any other type of roof
and is easily constructed.

According to government figures the
production Of motor trucks In 1921
was in excess of 10000. It is esti-
mated that Of this number per cent,
or 10000, were sold to farmers. The
best authorities affirm that this proper
tion of sales is In accordance with the
general status Of ownership Of motor
trucks. That Is, of all the motor
trucks in the United States, about 60
per cent are owned by farmers. A
very large portion of farmers also own
automobiles and very often own more
than one. The problem of housing this

the usual way. The gum is put on and
vulcanized and perfect section will
be the result. The reason for applying
the cement after the backing strip Is
in place, Is that it is very difficult to
insert and locate the strip when 1t is
cemented.
Vulcanizer Sticks.
Sometimes the vulcanizer has
tendency to stick to the patch after it
is cured. To prevent this, place
piece of cloth over the rubber and be-
tween the patch and the face of the
vulcanizer. 1t will then be found easy
to tear this of of the repair after the
vulcanizing is done
