NEW YORK.-Functions of a news

may profoundly influence the news

Potato soo.Bushel Growers Spray

FOkdlO oOS-DhSilS' SiO"Sio Spi dJ
Many potato growers have achieved
big results by organizing spray rings
and buying big efficient spraying out
fits and spraying materials according
to the Michigan Farmer. Growers Of
certified seed are obliged to spray at
least five times with Bordeaux, using
a machine that can maintain pres
sure Of at least 1870 pounds. The rs
members of Michigan's 300-Bushel Pc
tato Club obtained yields averaging
1853 bushels last year, sprayed accord
ing to the schedule Of the Michigan
Agricultural College. Growers OF GER
titled seed in that state also produced
an average of 101.6 bushels on nearly
$500 acres by spraying five times.
When dry weather brings leaf hop
pers, spraying should be done every
seven days, every ten days or two
weeks being sufficient otherwise un-
less late blight threatens the crop.
All 100 gallons of material per acre
is needed when the plants are large.
Small growers with only three or four
acres get the benefit OF the big out
fits where spraying rings are formed.

Front Wheel Bearings
Give Out IF Ungreased

The common reason why the front
wheel bearings of a motor car give
out is because the greasing of them
is neglected. But the expert motorist
knows that there is no excuse for this
neglect.
The front-wheel caps should be re-
moved every three to six months in
the summer time, depending, of course,
on how much the car is being driven.
Fill them with soft grease and screw
them back into place. 1t should be
remembered in doing this work that
the left front cap may have left
thread instead of a right one.
When the caps are removed the con-
dition and adjustment of the bearings
should be noted. If they require ad-
justment or repair the car should be
taken to a shop unless the owner feels
competent to do the work.
In putting the caps back into place
extreme care should be used not to
cross the threads. This is an error
that is easily made, since the threads
are very fine and the diameter of the
cap relatively large.

Latest Underthings Feature
Harmony Trend Seen in
Outer. Garments.

Harmony has been gaining such
sway in the fashion world that it has
now penetrated the realm of under
things, with the result that the new
lingerie models feature the fall trend
seen in outer garments. In other
words, says a fashion correspondent
in the New York Times, the line in
underwear must correspond with that
of the frock worn.
Georgette in exquisite pastel shades,
and crepe de chine in white and shell
pink are used in models for evening
wear. A three-piece dance set in april
cot georgette is trimmed with hand
made lace. Fullness in the step-ins Is
achieved by insets of tiny plaits,
which are outlined with the lace. In
stead of shoulder straps, three velvet
covered elastic bands hold the narrow
bandeau in place. These are stretched
across the back and fastened under
the arms by small rosebuds. Shirred
ruifles of lace and rosebuds add
Colonial touch to the garters.
Inc Hare plays an important part In
a three-piece model of heavy white
crepe satin. Double folds of georgette
serve as the only trimming, and when
used in the tops of chemise. and slip
further carry out the new silhouette.
Godets of the georgette plated are
placed around the bottom of the slip
and at the sides of the chemiSe. Mar
row pipings of georgette are used in
the double shoulder straps of both
garments and as trimming for the
garters
Crepe de chine, crepe satin and
handkerchief linen are sponsored in
many of the two and three-piece mod
els destined for daytime wear. Lace
and net in a variety of interesting de-
signs provide the main trimming for
these garments, while the more tai
lored models emphasize the use of
fine hand embroidery and drawn work.

Spare Tubes Should Be
Wrapped to Avoid Sliding

"Box worn" means about the same
thing In inner tubes as "shop worn"
means In clothes Both are damaged
goods.
When an inner tube leaves rubber
factory it is ordinarily packed In
waxed paper and placed in box to
keep it in perfect condition from fac
tory to customer. But this waxed pa
per packing which is so essential to
insure its resiliency and elasticity
In other words, its live quality-is
not intended to be the packing which
will protect the tube carelessly thrown
in the tool box of car.
Here the constant jolting and swerv-
ing of the car cause the loosely
packed tube to chafe against the sides
of the box, according to Miller. AS a
result, the tube chafes through at the
folds. If it is repaired tube loosely
thrown in the tool box, 1t ordinarily
lacks even the protection of the box
against cutting on the sharp edges Of
the tools.
A motorist will always find in the
roadside emergency that his tubes are
In the same serviceable condition as

will carefully wrap them in soft cloth
or paper so that they cannot slide

CAR STEALING IS
| ON The INCREASE
Anyone With Slight Me-
chanical Ability Can Start
Auto Without Key.

Automobile stealing is business
that, despite the Dyer act, goes on at
an astonishingly fast gait throughout
the country, according to the legal de-
partment of the Chicago Motor club.
The unlocked car, of course, is the
greatest source of supply. Many car
owners think because the ignition is
turned off that the thief is foiled,
whereas anyone with slight mechanical
ability can start car without a key.
The most common method is to run a
wire from the ammeter to the coil, but
there are numerous schemes equally
effective.
Habit of Locking Car.
MAKE a habit of locking your car,
and following a psychological law, it
will be practically impossible to forget
to lock it," says the club bulletin.
Lock it at all times, even when you
are going to be in view of the car
while you leave it for a few minutes,
then you will never forget it when you
are going to be away from it for
hours.
Even cars that are locked are
stolen. Some thieves operate in this
fashion. They drive a car of some
popular make, and in driving along
they see another car as like their own
as the proverbial two peas in the pod.
They stop behind 1t, or in a corner
directly opposite from the car they in
tend to steal. Then they go to a tele-
phone and call tow car, giving the
description of the car. Perhaps they
conveniently forget their own license
number, but at any rate they see to it
that their own car is left untouched,
while the other one is picked up.
They stroll up to the men on the tow
truck and tell them they will ride with
them to the garage. 1t is easy for
them to manufacture some reason for
towing the car, and once at the garage
the unsuspecting proprietor gives the
supposed owner the car whenever he
demands it. Should the irate owner
| appear on the scene as his car is be-
| ing towed the thieves get themselves
out of their predicament neatly and
quickly by passing the blame on to the
stupidity of the garage mechanics in
picking up the wrong car. This story
is generally accepted by the real
owner
Put Keys in Mail Box.
"Automobile thieves have taken ad
vantage of conditions in towns where
| garages make a practice of delivering
| cars to boarders at their homes Many
times the owner will instruct the ga
rage attendants to put his keys in
| the mail box at a certain time. The
| thieves make a survey of the situa-
| tion, and are often able to step into
the vestibue a minute or two before
the owner comes down to get his car
| They get the keys and are away from
the scene of the theft in minute
Thousands of cars are recovered
but in numerous instances the owner
does not get his property back because
the thieves have made such changes
in the car that it Is impossible to
| identify it. Every motorist should
have a secret number placed some
where on the car. In case his car is
stolen this number would serve as q
means of Identification"

Old English LaW
Based on Bible

Benefit of clergy" was privilege
once enjoyed by the clergy of Eng
land, whereby they were exempted
from civil punishment. The origin OF
this exemption is unknown, but the
custom was probably based on the
text: "Touch not mine anointed, and
do my prophets no harm" Il Chron.
l6 %; Ps. 105 :15). Edward l in
1874 extended this privilege to all
iaymen that could read. Such Grim
inal could not be put to death, but
was to be branded on the left hand.
The first verse of Psalm 90 was
chosen as the reading test, and hence
was known as the meek verse In
1851, this privilege was extended to
women. The privilege eventually be-
came a dead letter; it was variously
restricted and finally in 1927 in the
reign of George ", it was abolished

Wheel Out of Alignment
Cause of Wear on Tires

Dumping into curbs, hitting bumps
in the road, turning out into cutters
and similar strains, shocks and jolts
a-e very likely to cause misalignment
or wobbling of wheels, or both.
When this happens the wheels travel
with skidding action, which wears
down treads very rapidly, even if the
trregularity is so slight that the eye
efn hardly detect it. You should,
therefore, test your wheels frequently
to make sure that they run true.
Probably as many as one car in
three has one or more misalignment
or wobbly wheels, robbing their tires
Of thousands of miles of service.
Because of the turn-to- the-right rule
of the road the right front wheel is
often forced into the rough going at
she side of the road and is likely to
receive severe glancing blows, which
produce misalignment, springing or
distling.

New Autumn Black Frock Touched With Colors

The black frock that has been con-
spicuous by its absence from summer
fashions, returns with autumn and
from every indication will be even
more popular this fall than it has been
for several seasons past.
Much of the distinction of these
black costumes may be attributed to
the beautiful fabrics chosen for their
fashioning Supple crepe-back satins,
lustrous velvets, crepes with an al
most imperceptible weave are all used,
and the effects achieved are amazingly
smart
An innovation of the present season
is the introduction of touches of a
tone of faded pink or old blue into
frocks of navy blue or black. This adds
a certain youthfulness that is most en-
gaging and contributes greatly to their
interest.
