JULITo FORFEITED.


The Honduran schooner Julio,
largest vessel ever seized in Chesa'
peake Bay for violation of the prohi-
bition laws, has been forfeited by final
decree of the United States District
Court at Norfolk, and sold by the
United States marshal there, it was
announced today by the Department
of Justice.
The crew escaped before Coast
Guard officers swarmed on board, but
the ship was found to have on board
a cargo of 1850 cases of liquor and
100 kegs of malt. The Government
charged that the Julio was an old
offender and had been violating the
prohibition laws for a long time. She
was captured last Fall.

Cure Rattle of Tenders
With Leather or Rubber

Onsubstantial fender irons, in some
light cars particularly, when these
are made of half round or fat iron
fitted in such manner that they over
hang considerably from the point of
! support, are not rigid enough to pre-
vent springing, under the strain of
constant road shocks. The result is
the valance and the iron slap togeth-
er with sound Ike that of beating
a tin can, yet, when the car is sta
tionary and the owner feels the
tenders to find this slackness which
causes the noise. they usually appear
to be perfectly rigid.
A good plan is to force the valance
back with a screwdriver and insert
small piece of leather or rubber, such
as slice from an old inner tube.
Felt may also be used. Though the
fender and valance appear TO fit
snugly against the supporting iron
when the car is stationary, vibration
set up when the car is in operation
causes the noise and the pad will in
sulate the noise SO that 1t is not trans
mitted to other parts.

ENTHUSIASM

@ EFT building on fire and a crowd
y soon gathers. The motive which
brought the crowd may have been
curiosity, excitement or the desire to
be of some assistance. 1t is neverthe-
less true. that fire brings a crowd.
The word enthusiasm comes from
two Greek words. which, translated
literally mean, the divine in u.s." En-
(. thusiasm is only another word for
fire, the fire which burns in the heart.
You will not remain half hour in
an artists studio without learning
something about the value of this fire.
Watch the artist He is all alive. He
shows you one piece of work after
another upon which he has spent time
and energy. His whole life is aglow
with his art. He is on fire. Nothing
to him is so important as his art. His
success in his profession is not a mere
accident nor is it attributable to
good luck" but rather to the fact
that fire burned in his heart. The
musician transfers his soul. to you
through the instrument he Gays. His
music carries a message tn is con-
vincing and helpful AnoA fer plays
the same instrument, stEking the
same note and playing the same piece.
1t carries no message to you, and you
leave the concert regretfully. How
can you explain the difference be-
tween the two musicians? They both
played the same instrument and the
same musical selection. The differ
ence is explained by the fact that in
the one case the music was real; in
the other only an imitation. The one
had fire in his heart, the other did
not.
Enthusiasm, or fire in the heart, is
the driving power which enables US to
reach that goal we call success. Sue
cess is not attributable only to the
possession of talents and ability. The
most important question is, how are
we going to use the talent we have?
Bury it and it is lost. One talent
plus enthusiasm is worth more than
ten talents without the fire of the
heart.
Enthusiasm is the dynamic of life
because it furnishes motive power
No permanent achievement in the
world can be won without it. To
be enthusiastic is to be possessed with
great idea. purpose, ambition. EN-
erson said, Every great and com
manding moment in the annals of the
world is the triumph of enthusiasm

Employ NerU Process
for Coloring Wood

The use of colored woods in the con-
struction of furniture has long been
known, the material being stained aft
er the necessary seasoning process.
Within the last few years, however,
a method of Austrian origin has been
employed, whereby the wood is col
ored when in green state.
By means of heavy pressure in
closed vessel the sap is driven out Of
the wood and is replaced by the color
ing fluid, which may consist of So
luton of the more permanent aniline
dyes. The best kinds of wood for
treatment are found to be birch,
beech, alder, plane, elm and lime; oak
fir and pine being unsuitable because
they do not stain uniformly.
The colored wood Is used for furni-
ture making and for the manufacture
of doors and window frames. 1t can
also be employed for outdoor pur-
poses, in which case no painting is
necessary, although a coating of var
nish would seem to be a necessity
For the fitting of ships, railway cars
and similar purposes, this stained
wood appears to be eminently fitted

it is that there are quarrels in the
bird families. He win tell. too, how
loving the doves are TO one another
throughout their bird lives. and IL a
little Mrs. Dove should lose her be-
loved mate she will not take another
mate but will mourn her whole life
through.
$50, IL people will only learn more
about birds and the feathered crea-
lures, perhaps they will want to be
nicer still to birds and will want to
protect them all they can.
'sThe bluebirds and the kingtishers
put on airs and act very fond of them
selves at times. but they, too, are good
mates. And the parrots for all their
shrieking and yelling are so devoted
in their home lives. 1t is beautiful to
see the devotion that birds show.
"Some of the birds from abroad
have different ways and are quite
curious. The keeper. says that there
is a Snipe family abroad and that the
Miss Snipes court the Mr.. Saipes in
stead of the other way around as it
should be. That certainly shows lack
4 of dignity and l should also think
lack OF charm
Surely a Miss Snipe with charm
would not have to do anything like
that.
"But after they mate Mr. Snipe sits
on the eggs and is a regular home
body and does just as Mrs. Snipe says.
| The Button Quail family are the same
way and Miss Button Quail will ac-
tually propose to Mr.. Button Quail
and ask him to be her mate.
THAT certainly is queer. Perhaps
it is because they have no hind foes.
I've heard that they hadn't hind toes.

Stripping Rubber Tread
From Tire Is Made Easy

Most vulcanizing shops occasionally
have to strip the rubber tread from
an old tire, either to prepare the
casing for a retreading job or to use
the stripped fabric for repair boots.
To facilitate this task, Wisconsin
repairman devised the simple tool
shown in the drawing. A length of
%-inch steel shafting was bent to
form a crank and holes were drilled
through it to accommodate two steel
spurs. The crank was mounted to ex-
tend from the underside of the work
bench. In use, the rubber tread of
the tire is first cut and few inches
are peeled off by hand so that the
loose end can be pierced with the

Use Of Automobile Has
Spread to Persian Gulf

For years the use of the automobile
has been spreading to those outlying
districts where progress moves with
heavy feet. The latest country to
adopt the automobile for general use
is Bahrein, an independent sheikdom
on group of islands in the Persian
gulf.
Bahrein has several miles of i'm
proved roads, as well as many miles
of desert roads which are passable for
automobile traffic. In February, 1926,
there were 100 cars and two trucks
registered with the authorities and
this number increased during the year
to between 145 and $50 passenger cars
and 8 trucks.

Oil Costs More

Motorists in the vicinity of Mexico
City, situated in the midst of rich
oil area, have TO pay nearly twice
as much for their fuel as do motor
lists far from oil fields in the United
States. Here, for instance, the cost Of
fuel has gone as high as 3S cents
gallon. The reason is the crude oil has
to be shipped to the United States for
refining and then back to Mexico for
sale. This incurs heavy freight charges
both ways.

for Driving an Auto

Drive over to the right as far
as possible at all times.
If the cars service brakes are

stop 1t within so feet from a
speed Of 20 miles an hour.
If the street Is wet and slip
perry, allow at least 80 feet be-

Never pass car going in the
same direction until you are
positive Its driver knows your
intention.
When driving fast, keep a

AUTO CAMPING IS
QUITE POPULAR
Becoming More and More
Important Factor in
Car Industry.

Fifteen million automobile, campers
will fill the long, long trails from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast this sum-
mer, according to estimates compiled
for the Women's Home Companion,
from cities bordering the best known
transcontinental routes.
Anticipating this peak in the form
of summer outings, which has grown
like speeding avalanche In the past
few years, automobile and sporting
goods manufacturers have met the de-
mands of the tourists with ingenious
devices providing the nearest APP
proach to home comforts and towns
and cities have so improved the rest
camps in their outskirts that the 49,
100000 wanderers will be able to real
ize only by the intervening scenery
that they have left their own domi-
Giles.
Under Roof for Night.
Those who do not like the hard
ships of sleeping in tents will be able
to travel over the northern trail from
the Atlantic to the Pacific northwest,
down the coast to the southwest and
back again, without being deprived
Of the shelter of roof for the night.
This is due to the cottage camp system,
which has been developed to such an
extent that auto camping does not
necessarily have to be camping.
The cottage camp affords screened
and furnished lodging, lacking only
cooking utensils, gasoline stove and
blankets. Moreover, many of the
camps provide Fairgrounds, laundries,
cafeterias, barber shops, and even
beauty parlors and soda fountains.
Prefer Real Camping.
There are still many, however, who
prefer real camping as they go, but
even for them there. are improved
tents with sewed-in floors, compact
cooking outfits which even permit of
freshly-baked pies and roast fowls,
luxurious air mattresses and auto con-
nection lighting systems to smooth out
all the little irritations that used to
go with the shortest outing.
The tremendous growth in popular
ity of motor camping is becoming a
more and more important factor in
the automobile industry.
