IM AKE FRIEND OF YOUR CAR By Erwin Greer k (President Greer College of Automotive Engineering, Chicago). I? . r ■"■-J--" •. *■■■ Get acquainted with the inside >f your motor car. Study its •h|racteristics. Get into the habit of looking after it personally is much as possible. By so doing vou will get the most out of your automobile and you will find a new satisfaction in owning a car.

In this day of simplified mechanics the average owner is too often in the habit of allowing the car to take care of itself. As i matter of fact, there is necessity for mechanical knowledge in the actual operation. Expert engineers have so designed the car thaVwome’n can drive it as well as men. Nevertheless, the owner who simply knows how; to start his own car, regulate its speed and then stop it, while he may never be called on for further knowledge concerning its working. is losing a lot of pleasure which he could have at no expense. Ther are thousands of owners who pay absolutely no attention to the inside of their car, and run it until it stops, no matter how great a strain the machine is operated under. It is that class of owners who complain about the maintenance cost of their car.

They not only fail to get comfortable riding and they not only lose time while the car is being repaired at some garage, but they lose the keen enjoyment which one should get out of owning a perfect piece of mechanism. If every car owner studied his machine and learned the details of its inside mechanism, he would soon become attached to it as is the average sea captain to his ship or the railroad engineer his engine. o ELECTRIC HOUSE HEATING Electric house heating will soon become general and it is more a question of how soon there will be sufficient electric power generated to heat the homes of the land, than absence of demand.. Leading the world, this nation is approaching the time when it will no longer be heated by the time - consuming coal - burning furnaces or old-fashioned woodburners generally used. Wirt S. Scott, manager of the industrial department of the Westinghouse* Company, report* great progress in solving the problems of heating houses by electricity in a pratical manner. "When that time comes, the days of struggling with the furnace will be over, and the householder will not need to give his heating siystem a thought,’’ says Mr. Scott, referring to latest inventions. A reliable authority says there is already 1,250,000 kilowatts of electrical heating apparatus employed by American industries, from bakeries to glue factories and enameling automobile bodies. - o BAD DEBTS In the tabulation of “cost of government” from 1910 to 1924, loans made by the government to foreign nations are charged up as “expense.’’ Until they are paid this is true, and they will continue to be a burden on the taxpayers who are now being called upon to pay ten thousand millions of dollars in principal, and as much more in interest. Whatever remains unpaid will be charged off as “bad debts" — a loss to the American people, a waste of patriotic motives and a violation of national faith. And yet we are urged to join as copartners in European affairs, with these debtors.

HERE’S A WATSON STORY ABOUT “SOCKLENS JERRY” . Recently Senator James E. Watson received a pair of socks from a West Virginia friend. He wrote the following “thank-you" letter: “I thank sou for the socks you sent me. It will not be necessary for me to go like Jerry Simpson (a famous character, known as ‘Sockless Jerry’ Simpson, who served in Congress many years ago from Kansas) from now on and I shall be in a better position to respond as Jerry did one time in the corridor of the capitol. “I was talking to an Indiana woman on that occasion when Jerry came along. She said to me that she really wondered whether or not he had on socks. I said I would introduce Jerry to her and that she might ask abortt it and 4he said she would and did. She boldly asked Jerry whether or not he had on any socks, whereupon he responded to her by saying that he believed in reciprocity and that he would show her his socks if she would show hers to him. Whereupon the conversation ended. “With my feet encased in a pair of your socks I shall be prepared for any challenge made." . 70WAGE EARNERS COLLECTING DIVIDENDS A marked difference is seen in the class of people now holding the securities of our great corporations and the holders of such securities a few years ago. In 1917 dividends collected by wage earners amounted to but 9.5 percent of the total. In 1918 this figure had risen to 14.1 per cent and by 1921, to 22.7 percent of the whole. The number of stockholders in the country increased from 4,400,000 In 1900 to 14.400,000 in 1923, while the average number of SIOO shares per stockholder decreased from 140 to 50. The ownership of our industries is passing rapidly into the hands of the wage earners, not by a wave of the political wand, but by sound business methods. 0 MISTAKEN IDENTITY Bill Smith, a country shopkeeper, went to the city to buy goods. They were sent immediately and reached home before he did. When the boxes were delivered. Mrs. Smith, who was keeping the shop, uttered a scream, seized a hatchet, and began frantically to»open the largest one. “What’s the matter, Sarah?" asked one of the bystanders. who had watched her in amazement. Pale and faint, Mrs. Smith pointed to an inscription on the box. It read: “Bill inside.” —* 0 NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE OF REAL ESTATE

I HOUSEHOLD HINTS | To drive a nail into plaster, heat it very hot, and the plaster is not apt to break. Keep your grapefruit seed and plant in the spring. It will make a fine plant of border. Add a spoonful of vinegar to the water in which fish is boiled. This water will make it firm and tender. Parsley can be preserved by drying thoroughly in a cool place and then placing in air tight carts or boxes. To bake potatoes quickly try boiling them in salt water for ten minutes before placing in the oven to bake. TrV adding a thin slice of lemon when stewing chicken. This will improve the flavor and make the chicken more tender. Add a cupful of salt to the water in which you wash spinach, cabbage or lettuce. All the dirt will settle in the bottom of the pan and the greens will be very crisp. If for any reason you think a piece of meat will not keep until vou are ready to use it, cook it partly either by plunging it into boiling water, or by searing it on all sides in a hot iron pan or hot oven. A few drops of good oil. such as you use on the sewing ma-j chine or Mr. Farmer uses on his shotguns, when added to hot soapy water in which windows are to be washed, adds a luster without a sign of a streak. When the overalls are covered with grease and grime from the auto or engine they may be laundered very easily by dipping the soiled portions in kerosene oil. They should then be rolled up and left for or two, then soaked and rubbed well, put through warm suds and rinsed. Laundering them this way saves about 50 cents on the laundry bill.

“TRUTH FOR TRUTH’S SAKE’

It was President Coolidge who recently urged the seeking of truth for truth’s sake, making it clear that this age-old maxim has not obtained in any marked degree. In politics, it is perhaps true, that the doing of right for the i right’s sake has not been looked upon as practicable by very many legislators, in the presence of opposing financial interests which profit by the present situation. In municipal affairs and management truth is too often pigeonholed as a matter of dip iomacy or policy. In business transactions truth is too often looked upon as a non-essential. , In the field of religion loyalty to the faith of the fathers has stood in the way of real progress, resulting in more than two hundred creeds and beliefs that keep the mighty Christian army divided into more or less hostile camps frequently fighting each other instead of following the redemptive truths advocated by the Master. The President’s appeal commends itself to Christian believers of every name asi never before. for it is coming to be recognized that failure to trust in truth is the greatest mistake any man. any church, any nation can make. “Do right for rights sake.’’ properly ineulated in the minds of our youth would result in wonderful changes in every sphere of life after one generation. — o l—■ ■ - ■■■" Word comes from public libraries, booksellers and publishers that they cannot meet the demand for dictionaries as a result of the crossword puzzle fad. One can almost see the family dictionary and the family Bible, side by side, too often dust-cov-ered and really in the way, for the puzzle fad, at best, is only a passing fancy, to be relegated for golf and the open summer season, and the radio. During the next 10 month? the Western Union Telegraph Co. will install 800 new tape printers in |hat many cities and the system will be extended as rapidly as possible.

TIMELY TIPS OFFERED FARMERS BUYING SEED Farmers who are puzzled at the seed law tag should remember that the tag merely shows the results of an analysis of the seed. It is just as necessary to know the analysis of clover, alfalfa and grass seed as it is to know the analysis of commercial fertilizers, since it is practically impossible to detect weed seeds without a microscope and only a germination test will reveal the viability of Un reading the seed law tag. the following suggestions are offered by A. A. Hansen of the Purdue University Agricultural Extension staff: 1. Be sure the name of the variety on the tag is the variety you desire. i. 2. Good clover, alfalfa and rrasa seed should contain at least 98 per cent pure seed. 3. Good clover and alfalfa seed i should germinate at least 95 per] cent, while good grass seed should germinate better than 80 percent. 4. Clover seed grown in the United States is preferable to seed grown in foreign countries. Northern European seed is better than southern European seed while Italian clover seed is not at all suitable for Indiana conditions. When the place of origin marked unknown on the label! jn take a chance on winter kill-1 S3* if you purchase such seed. 5. The back of the label tells you the number of noxious seeds contained per pound in the seed you are buying. Good clover, alfalfa and grass seed may contain up to 300 weed seeds per pound, providihg this does not include dodder. Canada thistle or quack grass. 6. Insist on a properly filled out label when purchasing seed (you are entitled to it under the law) and study the statements carefully before you part with your money. o GOOD REVENUE PRODUCER It is reported that hereafter Australian citizens will be fined $lO for failure to vote. Such a law in the United States would produce a Revenue of millions annually for the United States treasury. - X Gall Stones Before risking operations send for my free booklet, explaining simple home treatment for Irritations of Liver, Gall Bladder and Gall Ducts as associated with Gall Stones.

THE DESTRUCTIVE - I FIRE DEMON Eliminating a personal devil, and a literal hell is a dream of the modern progressive theologian, but the fire demon on earth is still responsible for enormous waste and ,a foe of human endeavor. Reliable records compiled by [the fire insurance people show ; that in the five years past property worth $2,278,400,000 was distroyed, a loss that adds greatly to the burdens of taxation, cost of living and loss of life. It is a loss and destruction of values to make even the inhabitants of this, the greatest and wealthiest nation in the world, “stop, look and listen.” and take some steps to provide greater safety first devices. The above loss stated in figures may not make as distinct an impression as when presented in a more picturesque form. It is equivalent to burning down 227, 840 residences of an average value of ten thousand.dollarsi. Stood up in a row these dwellings would stretch 1978 miles, and provide housing for 1,139,200 people at an average of five to the fapiily. It is estimated that 75 percent of this destruction’ could be avoided by correcting the ordinary fire hazards that cause these lasses. No greater problem is before the American people than avoiding fire losses. o * One of the world’s largest electric locomotive concerns, in Switzerland, with plants in 27 countries, has decided to establish a $40,000,000 plant in the United Stales.
