HEADGEAR FOR DIRTY JOBS
■When it becomes necessary to crawl underneath the car the provision of some kind Of hat is important, as nothing is more offensive or difficult to remove from the hair than gear oil and mud. Tho ordinary old hat is not much good, as the brim catches in things arid causes the hat to be pulled down, while a cloth cap is not much better in this respect. The ideal covering is the crown of an old bowler hat. Got an old hat about one size too largo, cut the brim oft with a pair of scissors, and wear the crown pressed close down on the heat, Pierrot style. This will give complete protection frob both dirt and scratches, and cannot bo pulled off accidentally or knocked over tho eyes.
