Your Car's Finish.
You may mistreat the engine fre-
quently before it -begins to complain,
but the finis4i, Of the ear can be mis-
treated -once or twice—then there is
little finish left to damage.
Lack of wa,ehing, or not knowin.0'
how to wash acar will go further tor -
wards ruining the appearance than
any other thing. The varnish of a new
!ar is benefited,and hardened by Wash-
ing -with ,clear cold water, but mud
that is allowed to dry upon the body
takes the oil from the varnish and
leaves the finish mottled and streaky,
Dirt is not theonly enemy, for gases
from the garage, and even the atmos-
phere of some districts, attack the fin-
isli of the car that is not frequently
washed,
Bogin',by cleaning the top, Take a
good stiff bru.-,h and remove the dust-,
then either sponge it or use a sof t
cloth with waraiwater and pure soap.
A,chamols kept especially for the pur-
pose will tend to hasten the drying.
The top must not be folded until it is
thoroughly dry. The upholstery, if of
cloth,. is beat cleaned, by aponging
with wateroontaining a little salt and
xlcohoL If of leather, a woolen cloth
dipped in clear water to whicha few
drops of ammonia has been added is
bes't.
In. cleaning the chassis be ,sure to
remove the nozzle of the hose and flow
the water over every part of the;])Gd,7
This will serve to wash off most Of the
dust and m1so loosen the raud, In, -cases
where the car is very dirty it is best
to do this and then let it stand for a
few minutes before going -over it
Again With the hose.
Then take a soft sponge and follow
-the hose over the body. If certain
portions are grease spotted' these
phouldbe Washed separately with pure
water and castile soap—but except in
this one instance soap of any kind
phould be avoided on. the body.
You Carry Your Own Vulcanizer.
Every automobile .carries. an excel-
lent steam vulcanizer.
This may be news to many motor-
ists who fan,cied themselves on in-
timate, terms with their machines.
The radiator, when full of hot,
steaiing water, is a very satisfactory
Vulcanizer for inner tubes, and has
been used to advantage by ingenious
motorists miles away from anywhere
with a tube needing patching.

The New Man.
Take a look at the new man," said
the coast guardsman to the minister
as he sought the warm Shelter of the
life-saving Station. And indeed tho
new man was worth looking atz -&
quiet, clean -skinned giant, sitting with
his back to the wall.
Outside, the wind, roaring Savagely,
Idashed the loose sand against the win -
dows. On such nights, when the ther-
mometer was ten degrees below zero,
the minister reflected, these men -pa-
trol the beach and watch the sea for
wrecks. The new man, the minister
knew, Wat equal to the work.
A little later the, minister was as-
tonished to hear the giant say, "You
see, cap'n, I have never been on the
ocean. What does a -lobster look
like?" That was an astonishIng thing
for him to ask! But the old captain
expressed no astonishment, he merely
took a Pencil and some paperand be-
gan to dr&,yi while the new- man
watched him closely.
"A lobster," said the captain, "has
a body like this and long claws that
run out here!' I .
What did It mean? Going quickly
Into the boat room, the minister said
to one of the guardsmen, "What iloes
this mean? The new man says fie
never has been on the ocean, and he'
lias just asked the captain what a lob.
ster looks like."
"O ' h," said the guardsman, smiling,
"he was transferred from the Great
Lakes Slid got here Just this, after.
noon."

UNION AMONG ENGLISH-
SPEAKING PEOPLES.
An English Writer, Alfred B.
Cooper.. Discusses a Vitally
Important Question. ,
The future of civilization, of an pr -
dared, Progressive, happy evolution of
society, is in the keeping of the Eng-
lish-speaking peoples, Wiltes Alfred B.
Cooper, In a London Magazine. Of
these there are on the earth, at the
present moment, something In the
neighborhood of 20000,000, and this
number, If the ,precedents of the two
half -centuries "Immediately past are
followed, will have become something
like 400,000,000 in 1971.
1 This huge aggregate of folk who
"-speak the tongue that Shakespeare
spake'l.—or something approximating
thereto, at least—will not be confined
to one corner of the earth like the
congested populations of China and
India, but will form six mighty nations,
each powerful and populous, in sever-
al far,separated quarters of the globe.
The six nations of the English -speak-
*
Ing folk will be the British Isles, the
United States, of America, the Domtnl-
on -of Canada, the Union of South Afri-
ca, the Commonwealth of Australia,
and the Dominloh of Now Zealand,
and half the population —possibly
more than jialf—of this great conger -
fee of kindred peoples will reside be-
twixt the If6titude, of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence and the latitude of the
Mouth of the Mississippi, In that won-
,derful Republic we sometimes call
"the States" and'sometimes simply
"America."

Now, It is a fact of first-class im-
portance and vast significance that
the last-named Is the only member of
the original firm which has dissolved
partnership. Nearly '150 years ago
now, Britain and her Intensely loyal
colonies In America differed, then
quarrelled, then fought, then parted,
and that political cleVage has con-
tinued to this day.
It tv an Interesting and not unprofit-
able speculation as to what might
have happened, and what Might not
have happened In the world, had Bri-
tain never attempted the impossible
task ot coercing America, and had
America grown up under the old flag,
self -governed and independent In all
but affectionate adherence to the co-
operative solidarity of the Empire,
like Australia or Canada to -day. '
Nothing contributed to the final and
complete triumph of the Allie5, in the
late war so greatly as this, solidarity
exhibited by the far-flung and loosely -
attached members ' of the Brj ish
Brotherhood of Nations. Even Man
like Botha and Smuts, who had fought
against us a dozen Years earlier,
fought as valiantly on our side. With-
in -a week Of the declaratteii of war,
c ency of Bri-
tain. had declared Its unflinching and
unhesitating adherence to the old flag.
When the Empti?e.Spoke.
Is it too' much to suppose that the
100,000.,000 of the greatest colony of
all, the colony founded by the "Pli.
grims" in New England, and by Ra-
leigh In Virginia, would have hesi-
tated any longer than the Anzaes and
the Canadians did? That would have
meant the Shortening of the war by
three years at least—ft there had been
a war. But caii anyone believe there
could have been a war, had ,Britain
.and America been one nation of the
most Inventive, keenest -witted, ,most
enterprising, Most law-abiding people
We might go farther and say that
had Britain and America held together
the, Pranco-Prussian, War, the dragon&,
teeth Sown In 1871, which produced
the terrible harvest of devastation,
misery, and 1111,1`6st of these latter days
- the tap -root of a noxious weed which
threatens to ruin the tair garden of or.
dered progress, would never probably
have happened. . -
Well, there Is nothing quite a,() futile
as crying over split milk, "What's
done's d1me and can't be -undone," Is
a true saying, which may be profound. I
IY misunderstood. If It means to you
and to me that the Past cannot be Im.
proved upon, that the Miasmic shadow
Of the Past must blight the present,
tbht the follies. and mistakes of yester.
day must make of to -day a failure, and
a "fizzle," then such a saying is hate.
fUl aA,d bafteful to the last degree.
It YfttordaY was wrong, may not
to -day be right? If we have been tied

heaven's sake let us out .Ourselves

drawn across a continent with an In

PeODIe'speak of this, as. -the boundary
