loosen wheel nuts one turn;
place jack and raise car till
tire clear ground; remove
wheel nuts; remove flat tire;

The latest thing in measuring is the metric system;
not new, of course, but-mo3t of us in owurailjdaily use.
This poementitled* 'Measuring Road" tells of
measurements that are more truly universally un-
derstood. "I know what mother's face is like, Though it
I cannot see: It's like the music of a bell, It's like the
way the roses smell, I'ts like the stories fairies tell-
It's all of these to me. I know what father's face is like,
I am sure I know it all: It's like his whistle in the air,
It's like his step upon the stair, It's like his arms that
take much care, And never let me fall. And so I know
what God is like, The God whom no one sees: He's
everything my mother means, He's like my very
sweetest dreams, He's everything my father seems,
But greater than all these."
The Woman's Club of Rio Grande City met on
Thursday, November 1, at the home of Mrs. E. L.
