Numerous Devices Add to Comfort and Satisfaction of Owner. It Is difficult to believe that the oil pressure gauges and he which now appear on the Instruampere-meter- s ment boards of virtually all makes of cars were once regarded by many as unnecessary frills. Today there are a number of accessories being offered which are similarly regarded, which Is the same as saying that they would be appreciated If only their advantages were better known. Ky equipping a car with some of these fitments, greater satisfaction, efficiency and safety will result. Add front and rear bumpers to the car, attach one of the many rear signaling devices, keep a set of anti-skichains handy and the car will he enormously benefited In proportion to the cost of the protection. Frequently such safety devices add to the cars appearance and thus not only help protect the owners original Investment, but add to It. A spotlight attached to the windshield and played upon the road may prevent wrecking the car In a ditch. Take efficiency as another Instance. A enr that Is operated without proper 'regulation of the coolirtg system Is at all times running Inefficiently. This Is especially true In winter when the engine Is constantly opernted at the W'rong temperature, either boiling over because the radiator Is covered with e or running cold because the there Is no covering at all. The market now ofTers several radiator covers with openings which can be operated from the dash. Along the efficiency line are other devices which are destined to filter the gasoline before It Is admitted to the carburetor, thus preventing the entrance of dirty or watered gasoline to the carburetor or engine. A device of this character may pay for itself within a month after It Is Installed. Then there are shock absorbers, which In addition to giving gren'or riding comfort, save the springs from brenknge on the rebound and thus Increase the usefulness of the enr by Even cutpreventing breakdowns. outs which were at one time regarded as toys for the speed maniacs are now shown to hnve a very Important use. Regnrdless of the selling points of each accessory or all of them as a group, It Is a fact that any one of value of them adds to the second-hana car. So the motorist not only has the use of the accessories with which he equips his car and the savings on Insurance, Inconvenience, repair hills, etc., hut he gets a return premium when he goes to sell the car. d lnp-rob- Now and then In the course of aa automobile trip a car has to pass through a stream, and the question la sometimes discussed whether the action of the water Is harmful to the tires. The same question arises when the car Is out In a heuvy rain. Such a wetting Is pructlcully nothing at nil, either for damage or improvement. At uny rate, the effect on the tire Is not harmful. Two chief constituents of a tire are rubber and cotton, both vegetable substunces, and ns a rule water does not Injure vegetable matter. As Illustrative of this point, there Is the old but true story of the farmer who, when one of his rubber hoots fell Into a well, placed the other on a shelf In a closet. Twelve years later when the well was cleaned (he lost hoot was found to be In excellent condition, but the boot on the shelf had fallen Into ruin. If running through a brook resulted In cooling a tire the effect would be decidedly beneficial, but a quick dash through the water has little effect on the heated air within the tire and consequently the temperature change in the tire nfter Its bath Is negligible. Water itself apparently does no harm to tires, but the combination of air and moisture commonly known as humidity Is very destructive, especially on the cotton In ordinary fabric tires. The moist air works in between the layers of the fabric and rots them out, sometimes even before the tires leave the denier's storeroom. Cord tires stand humidity better. The harmful effect of moist air Is the chief reason why, when tires are stored, they should he kept In a dry atmosphere. As sunlight Is also harmful, the storage place should be darkened. g lows Return) sounded over the hushed arena, Rodolfo Gaonu, matador pur excellence, made his last bow In lie bull ring recently. At the ftHi of the gaudily arrayed figure lay (lie final kill of 20 years, a huge animal with a mortal sword thrust through his shoulders. The death struggle hud brought the hulls head to the feet of Ills conqueror. For a few seconds Gaona stood spellbound, then stooped and lightly caressed the once cruel horns.

Gaona, the Caliph of the Arena, as he Is termed, the unequaled, appeared and the tight wus on. He played and fought his first enemy with all cunning and killed the beast wdth a single thrust. His second victim suffered a similar fate. His third animal wus uncontrollable, known to bullfightdom as "tame." The beast did not lend himself to art and gracefulness on the part of the nuin. The multitude roared for an extra bull. Gaona, the spectacular, turned to the Judges stand and asked that the request be granted. It was. The substitute hull turned out to be all that the rules of the game required and obeyed the red cape to perfection. making It possible for Gaona to display the best In him.

Windshield Rattle Shabby tires on a carl Yet stand on uny street corner today and count the number of patclied-up- , dilapidated tires which are being used to the last mile. The cost of keeping these tires running for a few thousand miles would nearly pay for new ones. Mileage such as this comes high. Tire conservation does not mean picking up a decrepit tire and putting It hack Into service at a big repair cost Just to save a little rubber left In the trend. It means taking care of the tire from the first so that It will he able to deliver all the mileage built Into It by the mnker. When tires are no far worn that they are soon to blow.

Since the leaves In a spring have a tendency to spread apart, It U often hard to replace the spring In autos or trucks. The easy way Is to grip the head of In a vise, and put all but the the last four leaves one on top of the other. The last four leaves nre put on crosswise, or spread around like the ribs of an umbrella, which allows the nut to be easily started on the bolt. With the nut on the bolt, swing the bottom cross leaf Into place. Then each succeeding leaf will slide easily Into position. Thn tighten the nut. Of course, the clamps on each end will have to be removed until the spring Is assembled. tie-bo- lt tie-bo- lt Revise Theories After Studying Recent Total Eclipse. Scientists Washington.

That the existence of an element In the sun, provisionally dubbed coro-niuwhich has never been encountered on the earths globe, is fairly well established.

Coronium Signs Detected. Dr. C. C. Kless, who took a spectra observation from the airship los Angeles, detected again in his photographs the green and red lines which are oelleved to denote the existence of coronium The conclusions as to the solid and liquid matter In the corona rest largely upon the experiments of Drs. H. T. Staetson and W. Coblenz, aimed at establishing the exact temperature of the sun. Doctor Coblenz, using better instruments than his predecessors, found the corona temperature to be 3,000 degrees above absolute :ero, In spite of the fact that previous observations have Indicated the temperature to be about 0,000 degrees. The difference la the two temperatures gives ground for the Inference that the corona Is made up in part of dense matter, because if It were all incandescent the temperature gas, would be higher. In measuring the time of the eclipse, or rather the time of duration of obscuration, I. G. Priest, another bureau expert, sought to give astronomers better data for calculrting the movement of the r. oon. everal Seconds Out. There Is a gap In proven data which makes th time of the coming tf eclipses uncertain by several seconds, and although this circumstance Is philosophically accepted by ordinary humanity, it Is annoying to scientists.
