CAPTURE BALKS THREE ROBBERIES IN THIS SECTION Jail Breakers Planned Raids on Robbinsville, Murphy, Andrews The recapture last week of two desperadoes who had escaped from the Polk County Jail oil Jan. 38. is said to have balked plans for three robberies in this section. Another prisoner in jail with them before they escaped said he heard them planning to rob Snld<r's store in Rohbinsville. the Chain grocery company in Andrews, j.id the store of E. L. Townsend, in Murphy. I he desperadoes plaiuitd to per petrate all three of the robbciles ox fZZililiimi' SjmmSSt ~hin S5f?H WO"'f hold week end receipts which had been taken in too late to deposit in bank. For three nights, prior to the re capture of the men .a guard was ftationed outside the Robbinsville More: but no precautions were taken either in Andrews or Murphy. Before being retaken th?- men per petrated a series of robberies in North and South Carolina, the last being the robbery of the Postoffice at Whittier. They were working in this direction when retaken In the Cherokee Indian reservation. The fugitives. Clarency Tyler. 24, and Hugh Harrell, 34. were both serving 30 year terms for burglary and other crimes. It was the fourth time they had broken Jail. They ware cianKht when 1fhe7 stopped their stolen 1M1 Plymouth Coupe outside a barber shop. Tyler waited in the car while Marrell went in to get a shave. Sergeant T. A. Sandlin. of the State Mlghway patrol recognized Tyler and arrested him. Tyler sounded his hom to warn his confederate, but the sound also warned Ed Queen, the barber. Tud latter seised Harrell by the hair, and held the razor at his tfaroat until Deputy Sheriff Ed Rowland came In sou iwuuCui'Cu him. Before being recaptured tfae men committed several highway robberies and also robbed poetoffiees at Lake Lure and Oilky. They robbed a hardware store at Tabor City.

As examples of the value of gar j den crops, the horticulturist said that one-half ounce Jf tomato seed ! will produce enough plants to put ? out 750 row feet. This planting will be sufficient to feed n iamuy oi nvr, both fresh tomatoes and an extra amount (or canning . throughout the year. V The approximate yield from "50 row feet of tomatoes would be 20 bushels, or 1.200 pounds.

And. If starting your car | is g*vtng you trouble these cold win . tsr mornings, you'll be int^rMtf>d to , ; learn that improper cold- weather starting Li one of the surest ways of shortening the life of your engine ! and draining the battery. I Here are a few suggestions from , the Consumer Division of the Office ] of Price Administration on getting your car started in cold weather with a minimum of wear and tear on your car ? and your nerves. Believe it or not. your starting troubles may be In your oil. If you are in the habit o fusing a heavy oil, try switching to a. lighter grade? 10 or lOw ? and you will reduce your start ing difficulty. ; Get In the habit of allowing your engine to warm up for at least a minute before you begin to drive. ITiic wucT the Tresther. the longer you should allow for the warm up. Your engine Is warm when It will run tween them, the two also had $3.76 in smal lchange. and live receipts for registered mail sent to a person in Raleigh. It is believed that consid erable money was sent awn; by reg istered mail, because the total loot of the two is said to have been more than *1,000. TOq stolen car used bythe outlaws was like a combined small arsenal : and burglar's kit. It contained five shot-guns; an automatic pistol; a i hacksaw, frames and blades; several hammers of various sizes; a large pipe wrench; and a sledge hammer. The double barrel of one the shot guns had been sawed off. The car also contained three sets of automobile plates, and a quantity of clothing. RATIOMNGORDER ON TIRE RE-CAPS TO BOOST SHOES Advance in Prices Seen and Expert Tells How to Save Leather If your shoes are worn, you'd bet ter buy new ones now: because the price Is going up, and it may be that even leather will be rationed. A considerable advance in the price of shoes is seen was a result of orders to ration the tire re-caps which many of us had depended on to keen our cars rolling. Word from Washington is that recapping will be allowed only to those persona who are eligible to purchase new tires. The step is taken because there wont be enough new tires to go around, even for eliglbles. Tot the vast majority of us i means that when our present tires are gone. weH have to get a horse, or a mule ? or a pair of roller sfeatco or Trsik. Bicycles are not the final aolutl-m. I There Is no rationing of bicycle tires, but when the present supply Is ex hausted. you wont be able to get any more. Hie makers wont be able to get any rubber to make them wtth! The result of all this should spell with the choke all the way dowr. Never race a cold engine When: your engine first turns over. k?;p it at just enough speed so it doesn't die, ' until it is warm. Here's a good formula for starting i your car in coki weather. Pull the choke all the way out. Then, leaving your ignition switch off, depress the clutch pedul. and step on the starter. Now, count to four, slowly, while 1 the motor is turning over. Now push your choke back in until it's between one-quarter and one half wa yout. The colder th3 weath- 1 er the farther out you should leave the choke. Now turn on your ignition and step on the clutch pedal and starter. Tour engine should eaten at this j point If it doesnt, repeat thi pro cess. starting from the beginning. Your clutch pedal should ALWAYS j be depressed when you step on the i starter, cold weather or warm. This I practice will reduce tne load On your batLery and make for easier starting. prosperity for the shoe repair men Also, according to Miss Julia Mclver, extension clothing specialist of N. C. State College, it calls for greater care of shoes to make them last longer. Miss Mclver says that the best way to conserve shoes is to polish them. Polishing, she says, feeds the leather, makes it pliable, and pro tects it. The greatest waste in leather, ac- ' cording to the specialist, comes from 1 failure to dry shoes properly after I being out in the rain. "Wet shoes should be dried slowly , not too close to an open fire, an l never in a hot place like the top of n r adit tor, or in an oven", Miss Mclve' i instructs. "First wash off all mud with a damp cloth, and wipe the sui- | face as dry as possible. Oil the shoes j lightly, all over, and rub in. Straight- , en the heels, toes and vamps if they need it. Then stuff the shoes with ; crumpled paper. Set in a moderately I warm place, and polish when dry." Water-proofing helps, says the | statement, but wearing overshoes. I when it is raining, is best. o Special Inducements Are Proffered by Navy For Men With Trades i t The Navy needs auto repairmen, carpenters, chauffeurs and eleciri- 1 clans.
