NAVAJO RUG CONTAINS
OVER 100000 STITCHES

A Navajo rug containing 1884 ,000
stitches is now on exhibition at Gal
lup. 1t has been brought in from the
Navajo reservation from the Ganado
country by Don Lorenzo Hubbell near
whose trading store some of the fin
est Weaves are produced by the deft
hands Of the squaws.
This particular rug is 10 feet 10
inches by II feet II inches in size, and
is a beautiful creation of the weaver's
art. The wool to make this rug was
shorn from the native sheep at Gan
ado, and was shipped to Boston, where
it was spun especially for the work
of this squaW whose name is Kline
ANNE. She is one Of the best weay-
ers of the entire tribe. The weave
is the old-fashioned kind, using native
dyes making the rug q work of art
in every particular.
The color IS blue with figures in
white and red worked into the designs
to represent the wind, rain and sun
shine with the whiriing log design in
the center.

SEARCH FOR GIRL-TUCSON
HAS ONE WITH SAME NAME

Although Miss Ruth Aylesworth,
of Binghampton, N. Y. now in Tucson
as the guest of Mrs. r. S. Bartlett,
621 North Third avenue, says 'I am
sure | am not the one-"and the police
believe her-local officers have not
quit their watch for Miss Eleanor
Aylesworth, of Binghampton, N. Y,
the girl in the mysterious "Ayles-
worth case,' although they admit
they have no clue that the girl may
have come to this part Of the country.
1t was first thought she might have
come here to visit cousin, student
at the Evans School, to whom she
has always been very devoted, and the
possibility that she may yet turn up
here has not been entirely abandoned.
The watch that is being kept here
/ is part of worldwide search for
pretty Eleanor Aylesworth who disap-
peared mysteriously from the home Of
her guardian, Harry Harkness, in
Binghamton, N. Y.
BY an odd quirk of fate her father,
Winsor Aylesworth of Forksville, Pa,
who is aiding in the search, followed
what seemed a promising clue and
found, instead of his daughter, another
lost girl being the second case of a
girl wandered into rural section not
far from Binghampton. Aylesworth
was able to restore her to her parents
before going on with the search for
his own child.
A theory that the girl was kid
mapped for ransom from her million
aire guardian has been discredited by
the fact that no demands for money
for her disappearance has been made.
"A complete description of the girl
was given in Binghampton as follows:
Sixteen years old. Weight, 10
pounds. Height five feet. Light
brown hair, not bobbed. Large blue
eyes. Light complexion. When She
disappeared she was wearing a black
velvet hat, turned up on four sides;
a long light tan coat, with heavy
black fur collar; navy blue dress,
black silk stockings and black pumps.

or Politics is too rotten for me,
what can they expect?
There is an important phsycholog-
ical principle involved. Interets must
be created in government. The pub
/ lie must be educated TO have a high
conception of Government relations
Unless the public itself has high and
! holy ideals they cannot expect to have
such ideas Incorporated or manifested
in the government, because the very
/ government itself is of and by the
people.
The government is bound to be adj
ministered by people; these people are
human and subject to the same linn
itations that the same people would
be subject to in private life. Some
of them are inclined to act as though
they were the government itself - a
law unto themselves despots, if you
please = in their particular line.
Probably they would act the same il
employed by a railroad company or a
private Individual They may act as
though the public should be a servant
to them, rather than they be servants
to the public. Naturally no one likes
TO transact business with such govern
ment representatives.
But let US not forget that the
government cannot be much better
than the people who constitute the
government.
Now, leaving aside for a moment
the question of personnel, | think we
win all agree that the government,
whether it be federal, state, county or
city, should always insist on fair deal
ing in its business transactions. The
government should not only deal fair
ly, openly and squarely itself, but
should expect fair and square deal
ing on the part of those who work
for or do business with the govern
ment in any way Does the govern
ment always get a square deal from
laborers, contractors, and from the
general public? Is it considered per-
fectly all right to "lxill" half the time

ty or state? Is it considered perfect

figures or something else !? If so, what
is wrong? What is the remedy?
| think that the answer is simple
Again we must say educate the. people
to see the necessity of interest in gov
ernment. Educate people to see that
it is just as dishonest to cheat the
government or the people as whole,
as it is to cheat an individual. Edu-
cate every boy and every man to see
that he cannot be honest with himself
if he is dishonest with the govern
ment. Educate the people to expect
value received, and to expect to give
value received when dealing with the
government. The government should
do its share in educating the public.

Driver Who Slouches Is
Never Really at Ease

According to writer in American
Motorist, half the pleasure in motor
ing comes with learning to manipu-
late your car with ease and grace.
Correct form of driving says this
writer, means minimum drain on the
pocketbook. Velvety stops and starts
prevent unusual strains on the motor,
clutch, transmission, aXles and tires.
They also cut down the consumption
of gasoline and oil. A well-made mo-
tor, like a Swiss watch, is sensitive
thing. 1t resents abuse, but responds
willingly, capably, to gentle handling.
Starting an automobile is an art. 1
believe somebody else has said that,
but never mind.
simple though the act may be,
there are plenty of drivers who never
acquire the finished way of doing it.
The master driver aims to create
steady pull on the driving mechanism
from the moment he slips into first
speed until the car is under full head
way. Learn to accelerate simultane-
ously with letting in the clutch. The
mechanical act of gear shifting can
be learned in five minutes"

FOR OLD
SAKE'S SAKE
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

TOR old sake's sake, when far asun-
der,
A thought shall leap from heart to
heart,
We suddenly shall stop and wonder,
For old sake's sake. when years
apart,
Shall wonder how the others farlng,
What world we live in, path we take
And find ourselves u little caring,
A little yet. for old sake's sake.
For old sake's sake in some December
We still recall the skies of May;
Minds may forget but hearts remember
Each lovely hour, each golden day.
We thought it all forgot forever,
New worlds we find, new paths we
make,
Can quite forget, for old sake's
sake.
New lands, new loves, new plans. new
places,
New roads TO travel, work to do,
New hopes, new dreams, new friends,
new faces,
New griefs that come to me and
you.
Then comes n memory beguiling,
Then comes perhaps little ache
Some tender thought that starts us
smiling,
Yet brings sigh, for old sakes
sake.

SELF-MADE HAPPINESS

WHATEYER 1t may be with re
w gard TO your bonny-faced friends,
their content and easy conscience, the
Idea that you cannot be as happy and
carefree as they, is usually mislead-
ing.
To make ones self happy ought to
he ones chief purpose in life, quite
apart from the thought of wealth or
station. There Is no sense in going
around with sour faces, hard-drawn
lips and creased foreheads.
Why carry gloom about with you,
when It lies within your natural power
TO diffuse sunshine among others, and
basll in sunshine yourself?
The habitual crouch, the man and
woman who are continually finding
fault with the weather, imagining Ills
and seeking every opportunity they
can conjure up to air their grievances,
are not adopts at making friends or
keeping them.
They have no passionate kindness,
no essence Of love. no magnetic quail
ties of heart or soul. so they run mad
and in their frenzieS become meuace

The car owner who finds it neces-

ceed if he uses the following method:
Grind the points from one corner of

from the other. Place this in a bit
such as is used in hardwood. Place
the glass to be bored on smooth sur
face covered with blanket or similar
material. Begin to bore the hole eX-
actly as If the substance were wood.

continue to NOPE, brood and sulk, in
stead Of tlinging open the doors OF cur

Old Horn and Rod Make
Useful Knock Detector

Knocks are often very difficult to
locate in an automobile engine. Va
rious devices have been used to To-
cate the trouble, but as good one as
is to be had can be made in II few
minutes from an old horn and a rod.
All the horn but the bell and dla-
phragm should be removed. A screw
should be placed through the dia-
phragm and screwed into the end of
the rod. When the other end of the
rod is placed against the engine the
knock can be heard very plainly in the
bell BY removing the rod to different
points on the cylinder block or crank
case the exact location of the trouble
can be discovered.

Frequent Lubrication Is
Important for Clutch

One of the most commonly neglect
ed parts of the car, so far as lubrica-
ton goes, is the clutch-operating
mechanism. In the case of disk
clutches running in oil, the fabrication
of the thrust collar and the lever oper-
ating it, is automatic. But with
clutches that do not operate in a bath
of oil, the thrust collar and lever re-
quire oiling by hand. The service of
these parts is exacting and frequent
fabrication of the ball thrust bearing
and of the end of the lever which ac-
tuates it, is necessary. Furthermore,
the bearings of the clutch pedal and
the pins which secure the clutch oper-
ating linkage should be frequently lu-
bricated.

VARIOUS FACTORS
INSURE IGNITION
Of Much Importance That
Points Be Kept Clean and
Make Perfect Contact.
BY ERWIN GREER.

President Greer College of Automotive
Engineering, Chicago
There are Il number of factors to
be considered to insure good ignition;
breaker points must be kept clean
and make perfect contact; make sure
that the points separate the proper
distance; coil connections must be
tight; test for a broken down CON
denser; there Is considerable wear on
the distributor segments, same can
be cleaned with 90 sandpaper.
Do not run spark plug wires
through fiber or metal tubing; cut
grooves in two blocks of fiber and
run wires through grooves and bolt
the blocks together. This will over
come considerable ignition trouble.
Short Causes Trouble.
short in the light wiring will
cause battery to discharge, and may
also cause fire. The presence of a
short is indicated by a heavy dis
charge through the ammeter; n short
is caused by wire pinching between
the frame of the car breaking the in
sulation; for emergency repairs use
friction tape to insulate the wire
from frame.
A good many arrests are being
made for not having tail light
burning. The tail light should be
connected in series with the dash
light and then in the event that the
tail light goes out the dash light will
go out also. When a six-volt battery
is used, dash and tail-light globes
must be three to four volts each, six
to eight volts on head lights; with
12-volt battery, dash and tail lights
must be six to eight volts, head lights
- to 16 volts.
The horn must respond the minute
the button is pressed With a little
attention it will respond; lubricate
the bearings by removing the horn
cover, clean commutator, with 90
sandpaper. To adjust horn loosen
adjusting screw, turn with screw
driver and adjust to get the best pos
sible sound. If the motor cOmmutator
is badly worn, horn should be taken
off and armature must be put in Il
lathe to true up the commutator, new
brushes and brush springs should be
installed. There are times when the
ignition switch key is misplaced or lost
and it is absolutely impossible for
the average driver to start car with
out the aid of skilled electrician.
Instructions for Starting.
Here are a few instructions on how
to get the car started. In cases where
magnetic ignition Is used remove
magnetic ground wire and the car
will start without any trouble.
A car equipped with battery igni-
tIon can be started by connecting a
wire to the live side Of the starting
switch to one side Of the ignition coil
so that the current will go through
the coil before 1t goes through the
breaker points.
To make sure that the wire Is con-
nected to the right side of the start
ing switch touch the wire to the
frame of the car and If a spark or
short is produced the connection is

Parking on Rainy Day

Most drivers seem to find 1t
more difficult to park their cars
in wet weather than in dry.
They will not attempt to back
the car into spaces which in
fair weather they would con-
slider adequate. But those who
are more accustomed to driv-
ing in the wet have discovered
that space which in dry
weather would be difficult to
park in is much easier to tackle
when j. P.cuv is relgning. The
