MAKES
HEROIC

LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE Kobe
correspondent of the Central News
says hat refugees arriving on the
steamer Empress of Australia credit
the commander and officers of the
American naval destroyer pit with
the most outstanding act Of heroism
after the earthquake. This was the
dash of the craft up Toxic bay TO
rescue marooned foreigners in the
Japanese capital.
Ocean going vessels rarely attempt
to steam further up the gulf than
Yokohama and for the Americans to
AXE their ship to Toxic through
the shallow waters of the upper bay
after the seismic upheaval involved
unknown dangers.
The commander of other ships at
Yokohama warned the United States
navy men that It was too early to
tempt Il reach Toxic. Nevertheless
destroyer PIT made the run and the
Americans were the first rescuers
to reach the city after the disaster.
As II was impossible to dock the
craft the refugees were taken aboard
from small boats and destroyer ait
returned to Yokohama where the
foreigners boarded tho liners that
were acting as rescue stations.
Another dash to Toxic followed
and on her return the destroyer
brought the remaining foreigners
who desired to leave the capital, to
the safety of the big ships at Yoko-
hama
The American found the
foreign colony encamped in the gar
dens of the Imperial hotel with a
strong military guard around the
buildings and gardens for protective
purposes.
The foreigners remained isolated
IN hotel grounds until Tuesday
morning when the destroyer arrived.
The steamer Empress of Australia
continued her relief work at Yoko-
hama for nine days before proceed
ing to Kobe with 200 European and
American refugees.

MOVE CAR BY WHEEL sPoKEs
Many owners Make Mistake by Grab
bina Door Handle or Windshield
In Pushing Machine.

How do you push your car when
you want to move 1t around the ga
rage? Do you grab door handle, or
the windshield, or the steering wheel1
Or do you use little Judgment
There is one way to pick up a cat
correctly as against half-dozen ways
of killing 1t. It's the same with a car.
Some car owners grab the tenders and
manage to mark them up in excellent
shape. Some Of them tackle 1t all from
the tire carrier and manage to make 1t
looser than ever. Others strain the
doors. Those who push find it's rather
hard work, while those who pull on
the bumper find new ways Of getting
back strain.
The right way, and the easiest way,
is to grasp the spokes Of the wheels.
When you put the cat out tonight note
the way you take 1t by the nape Of
the neck. No other way would do.
Then ask yourself why you don't ex-
ercise the same sort Of care with your
car.

The amount of money invested In

should be built of substantial freproof

Such u garage is shown in the ac-

wide and is feet long, large enough
for almost any car or truck.
The garage. since 1t is small struc-
ture, should be simple in design. The
walls are built up of block on COM
