He showed her some crude pencil sketches be had made, but he said: "I want to draw mueh better than that, mother. I want to paint a fine picture like the one on the wall there." The boy pointed to a cheap print of "the crucifixion." "But to paint « fine picture I must take lessons." Mrs. Poalo sfcook her "head sadly. The odd Jobs Dominic Poalo, the boy's father, was able to do around the Greenwich vil lage neighborhood hardly paid for their living. "Yes, yes. son," she said. "Some day, maybe.

MAN WROTE WILL ON LID OF CANDY BOX Latest Thing in Odd Testa ments Found in East. Philadelphia.—Hidden in the big vault connected with the office of the register of wills, In the basement of city hall, are many wills containing queer bequests, many of which are written on scraps of psper, while oth ers are In saving fund deposit books, on fly-leaves of Bibles or in small memorandum books. Especial car* Is taken of them. These, however, were overtopped when a middle-aged woman, accom panied by an attorney, visited the reg ister's office and submitted s card board, six by four inches in sice, the Ud of s box that had contained "mo iaases coconut bars," as waa shown by the advertisement pasted on it As sistant Deputy Register Edwin V. Byrnes was astonished when told the cardboard Ud was the will of John H. Young, who died on December 30 last at 4806 East Thompson street Believing that the woman's mind was impaired, for many such persons visit the office and make all sorts of Inquiries regarding mythical estates, the dork smiled, aa did also the wom an, who turned the Ud and pointed to five lines written on the Inside, in lead pencil, showing that it was a will, properly executed and witnessed. The will read: "This is to certify that I am of aound mind on thla day of our Lord, October 0, 1924. I bequeath all my personal property and all that belongs to me to my wife, Elizabeth Toung. "JOHN H. YOUNG." All wills are filed in alphabetical order in the vault but the cardboard upon which thla wUI is written Is too large to permit of Its being placed in the receptacle Before It can be filed It wUI be necessary to obtain permis sion from lira. Young, the widow, who Is executor of the estate, to cut off the surplus portion of the lid. CntU this permission is secured, the will wUI be kept la the big fireproof safe In the msln office. Parrot Saoes Master From Hands of Thug * Cincinnati.—John E Sherlock, cigar ■tore proprietor, told police how a par rot frightened two men who attempted to rob him at hla home recently. Early In the morning two men, one masked and the other wearing a hand kerchief to conceal his face, came to Sherlock's home and. nslng a friend's name. Induced Sherlock to open the door. Both were armed They demanded money. Sherlock told them he had none. One of the men struck htm on the head with the bntt end of his revolver, while the other one twisted his left arm. "Bring me my gun," called Sherlock, la an effort to make his assailants be lieve someone was In the bouse. "Whst do you wsntT" came ■ ques tion in a screechy voice. When the men heard this, both ran oat the door. The answer came from his parrot Throe Little Girls Die in Flame* in Burning Barn Austin, Teiss. —Trapped behind a wall of flame In a burning hay barn at the borne of B. C.

Flexible door windows that may be lowered or raised like pullman car curtains and that disappear within the top of the body when raised are t striking feature of the" new Star coupster. In reality the coupster is a convertible car, affording all the comforts of closed car transportation, yet convertible Into an open car by the simple ex pedient of raising two disappearing windows—a five-second operation. For all practical purposes It is two cars in one. EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY OF CMS Numerous Devices Add tp Comfort and Satisfac tion of Owner. It Is difficult to believe that the oil pressure gauges and he ampere-me ters which now appear on the Instru 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 advan tages were better known. By equipping a car Vlth some of these fitments, greater satisfaction, ef ficiency and safety will result Add front and rear bumpers to the car, at tach one of the many rear signaling devices, keep a set of antl-skld chains bandy and the car will be enormously benefited In proportion to the cost of the protection. "Frequently such safe ty devices add to the car's appearance and thus not only help protect the owner's 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 car that Is operated without proper regulation of the cooling system Is st all times running Inefficiently. This is especially trjie in winter when the engine is constantly operated at wrong temperature, either trailing over because the radiator Is covered with the lap-robe or running cold because there is no covering at all. The mar ket now offers several radiator covers with openings which can be operated from the dash. Along the efficiency line are other device** which are destined to filter the gasoline before It Is admitted to the carbnretor, 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 absorber*, which In addition to giving greater riding comfort, save the springs from breakage oh the rebound and thns In crease the caefalness of the car by preventing breakdowns. Even cut outs which were at one time regarded as toys for the speed maniacs are now shown to have a very Important use. Regardless of the selling points of each accessory or all of them as a group. It la a fact that any one of tbem adds to the second-hand value of a 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 bills, etc., but he gets a return premium when he goes to sell the car. Good Advice Is to Give Machine the Once-Over There's economy, also satisfaction In giving your dtr the once-over In the spring, then If It needs replace ments or anything else to bring It back to perfect form, have it done as quick ly as possible. Naturally the toll of a year's driv ing Is most severe, and generally there Is a reminder or two. Right here the old stitch in time principle works out. When the car Is restored to Its best shape, almost aa good as the day It waa bought riding In It la tar more -enjoyable, also It will bring a much better price If you care to aell or ex pect to trade It In on a new cat. Letting your motor car run down is false economy. Eventually it costs you mora and In the Interim yon are not happiest when riding along the highways. Even little things which you may think are of no special consequence develop Into big Items hi repair bills If allowed to run an without Interrup tion. Windshield Rnttin When ths windshield glass becomes loose In Its frame. It causes an an noying rattle. It Is very difficult to close the frame so that It will grip the glass, more securely without the poeslblllty of breaking the latter. If the glass Is not too looss the Tattle can be eliminated by filling the space In the frame with shellac. This can be applied with a sharp pointed stick or. s brush and should be applied slowly as that It will pnck tightly In • WATER INJURY TO TIRES IS SMALL Running Through Stream Is Not Injurious. Now and then In the course of as automobile trip a car has to pasa through a stream, and the question 1b sometimes discussed whether the ac tion of the water is harmful to the tires. The same question arises when the car is out In a heavy rain. Such a wetting is practically noth ing at all, either for damage or im provement At any rate, the effect on the tire ia not harmful. Two chief constituents of a tire are rubber and cotton, both vegetable substances, and as a rule water does not Injure vege table matter. As illustrative of this point, there is the old bqt true story of the fanner who, when ope of his rubber boots fell Into a well, placed the other on a shelf in a closet. Twelve years later when the well was cleaned the lost boot was found to be In ex cellent condition, but the boot on the shelf had fallen Into ruin. If running through a brook resulted In cooling a tire the effect woulC 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 after 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, especial ly on the cotton la 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 dealer's storeroom. Cord tires stand humidity better. The harmful effect of moist air is the chief reason why, when tires are stored, they should be kept in a dry atmosphere. As sunlight Is also harm ful, the storage place should be dark ened. Shabby Tires Are Not Favored for Any Car Shabby tires on a good-looking cart Yet stand on any street corner today and count the number of patch edup, dilapidated tires which are being used to the last mile The cost of keeping these tires running for a few thou .sand 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 back into service at a big repair cost Just to save a little rubber left In the tread. It means taking care of the tire from the first so that It will be able to deliver all the mileage built into it by the maker. When tires are so far worn that they are soon to blow. It Is poor economy to m repair them. Such a course means sacrifice of the inner tube as well. Cheap, makeshift patches, boojs and temporary repairs of all kinds are now being called into use as never before, but patching up an old casing in which separation of fabric piles has already begun, cannot give the freedom from tire trouble on which the pleasure In motoring so largely depends. Tying in Spring Leave* Will Prevent Spreading Since the leaves in s spring have a tendency to spread apart. It la often hard to replace the spring tie-bolt In autos or tracks. The easy way la to grip the head of the tie-bolt In a viae, and* pot ail but the last four leaves one on top of the other. The la* foar leave* are pot on crosswise, or spread around like the ribs of an nmbrella, which allows the not to be easily started on the bolt. 'With the nut on the bolt, swing the bottom cross leaf Into place. Then each succeeding leaf win slide easily Into position. Then tighten the tie bolt* nnt Of coarse, the damps on each end will have to be removed un til the spring Is assembled. Anything These Day* Running downhill recently a driver found to his atter snrprlse that a motor track, supposedly at rest In the downhill position on the right side of the road, was actually going uphill backwards. The driver could not get It through his head tar a moment and nearly lost control of his machine try ing to dope It out. which showed that he wss not prepared to expect most anything nowadays. The track driver was utilising the lower gear ratio of ia»eiss In order to* enable the engine to cell op an extrs bsavy load. Why That Bad Back? Is backache keeping yo* upset?

Clever Thief Detector Valuable metal had a habit of dis appearing from a German factory re cently, so a clever scientific thief de tector was rigged up by the physicists connected with the works. At the end of the day's work each employee was required to remove his knife and other metallic personal possessions from his pockets and pass through a specially constructed gateway. This was so wired that any concealed metal being taken away Illicitly-would make Itself known by Inducing a current In a de vice that emitted a loud warning sig nal for the guard's benefit. The loss of metal has decreased markedly since the construction of the device. How long we live, not years, but actions tell. CORNS Lift Off-No Pain! Doesn't hurt one bit!
