BOSTON. Jan. 6.--An Indian tribe

The women of the tribe appeared
to be permanent residents of the viii
lage, DIR. Rice said. while the men
who were there came mostly from
tribes along the river Guiana. The
ancient Amazonian legend, of a tribe
of self supportive women visited
from time to time by men of other
tribes came to the explorers mind
with this discovery. he said, and in

YES, he died from the effects of
his journey to South Africa. There
was not a doctor in New York who

character of the country surrounding
the Iti1la. Mesaya and Inirida rivers

Nearly three thousand years before

Ancient China inflicted the death

Cling silkworms or mulberry trees

Japan did not receive silkworms until
the third century A. D. A Chinese

industry in India and Asia.
Two HISTORIAN monks, who had

For Winter Storage

Before car is stored for the win
ter the following rules should be
carried out:
The gasoline tank should be
drained
Drain water from the radiator and
water jackets.
Cover all metal works with thin
film of grease to prevent furnishing.
Drain oil from the crank case and
refill with a high grade lubricant.
Place the car on horses to remove
the weight from the tires. Debate
the tires.
cloth and. If possible, have the car
stored in warm, dry place.
Fill the grease cups and turn down
until the lubricant covers and parts.
Remove grease cups and fill once
more
Remove storage batteries and coat
terminals of the battery and wire ter
minals with vaseline to prevent cor
rosion.
Never disengage the clutch when
the car starts to skid.
Bad insulation causes grounds
which exhaust the battery.
radiator cover and hood cover
are both desirable for winter driv-
ing.
Try not to drive with muffler open
or using the cutout, especially near
populated localities,
Never crank the car in the street
unless the brakes are set and kept
so until absolute control can be re-
sumed.
In washing a car with newly
painted body. clean one panel at a
time, and dry thoroughly before
going to the next.
Gasoline or benzne has a tendency
to spread dirt instead of removing it,
therefore It's use on upholstery cloth
is not advised.
good leather dressing can be
made by mixing linseed oil and tur-
pentine in the proportion of two
parts linseed oil and one of turpen-
tine.
Batteries should be covered and
well protected to prevent tools,
chains or other articles from fall
ing on and short circuiting the bat
terry terminals.
At corners and sharp turns, slow
down and throw out the clutch. This
practice relieves a certain amount
OF strain and reduces the danger of
skidding.
