Women who drive their own cars also will wear the latest model in nmpdium length coats. They are @ on the same lines as the men's coats, only they are nipped in at the Wwalst instead of having a belt, and are silk lined. The ultra smart touch is added by the new leather hat, which is made in reproduction of the English army officer's cap, with an elast'c in the back to make it fit close to the head, and a long silk tassel from the crown which droops to the left of the visor. These coats clean beautifully, so that a light color may be chosen if desired. Sport coats are a veritable color riot this season, and they are made in many new models and materials. One in Joopine, a doosely woven cloth, is in a green, yellow and wh te plaid. The coat is unlined and is a sort of modified raglan. An orange wool jersey cloth js in a smock model, which is very becoming to the slender figure, Tricotine is a wov- en silk material; and in an old rose belted model is most attractive. Two tone satin coats are mew and the lighter side forms the lining, black with the white reverse being very smart, 2 Sport suits are a matter of mo ment in these carly spring days, and the models and materials were never more fascinating than this season. A military note given has severe models in the way of buttons, and braiding is attractive to women who are tall and of the dignified bearing to carry them well, and they aré excellent for touring suits. One in army blue jersey cloth has the military jacket braided in white soutache braid, having a thread of silver running through it. Silver buttons to complete the effect are placed close together down the front of the military jacket. The hat worn with the suit is a blue hemp straw, the shape of a French officer's cap, -- ~~ ~-- | In Short; or, The Tale of a Gasoline Pump Under. a spreading chesnut tree The village gas pump stands; It's painted red as red can be, With pretty golden bands; And tourists purchase gasolene And also oil in cans.

AAA ms Securing Results, To serure the best results from a motor car cooling system, eare should be taken to keep the radiator cells free from foreign matter, particular- ly when driving over muddy or dusty roads. If the trip is long, the ac- cumulation of dust, dirt and mud se- riously impairs radiation. An ex- amination will usually reveal radia- tor cells that are so tightly packed with mud that they ean play no part in reducing the temperature of the water system. The quickest way to correct the evil is to play a hose with consider- able water pressure on the radiators for a fow minutes at each watering place. The foreign matter should not be left clinging to the radiator core as stick mud. Brushing off the radiator with a stiff broom will also assist the ceoling system. Cause of Knocking. A frequent cause of knocking in a motor is due to excessive carbon in the combustion chgmber. A great amount of this trouble can be elim- inated by properly regulatin, the lubricating System. Very often where the piston p are worn they al- low an excess of .eil to pass up into the combustion chamber, which causes carbon to collect.

A motor driver named Thom- as Burden, of Derby, England, was ordered to pay costs on a summons recently for a contra- vention of the latest lighting order. He was using acetylene lamps without any tissue paper on the glass. Defendant plead- ed that according to the Derby police he was entitled to use any such lamp without screen- ing so 16ng as the diameter of the light portion did not exceed 4% inthes. It was pointed out by the Burton police that both acetylene and electric lamps must be obscured with one thickness of tissue paper.

When a car takes. fire it is usually 'Under the hood, and it may not be discovered instantly, but a burning smell, smoke "or flames issuing through the hood-slits or umusual heat or smoke coming through the floor boards will soon make the dan- ger apparent. The first thing to do is to stop the engine; if running, and shut off the gasoline supply to the carburetor.. If this is stopped a fire will sometimes burn itself out harm- lessly, or will, at least, be more eas- ily 'controllable. ' A handily placed gasoline shut-off is of great value in such an emergency, but, with good gloves on, even a badly located one can usually be operated unless the fire has a long start. Every car should be" equipped with a fire ex- tinguisher, filled with carbon tetra- chloride, or a similar flame blanket- liquid... Such extinguishers are readily obtainable, are not expensive and when carried upon a car, reduce the insurance rate upon it. The li- quid which these extinguishers throw is turned into vapor by the action of the heat and this vapor covers the burning substances, excluding air, and put the fire out. The action is quicker and more certain in confined spaces than in open spaces over which wind is blowing. If the fire is under the hood and the extinguish- ing liquid can be gotten on the fire without raising the hood, either by squirting it through thé radiator, the hood-slits or into the hood space of the car, it will have its maximum ef- fect, especially in case of a ktrong wind.
