"Horseless Carriage Listed
For Contest Involving
Original Equipment
DETROIT (AP) While mo
tor car manufacturers are show
ing the buying public and those
who "Just look" their latest cre
ations at the New York automo
bile show January 6 to IX, la a
class by Itself will be an auto
mobile produced In the early days
of the industry, seeking high hon
ors at the show.
The National Automobile chain
- ber of commerce is seeking
through a nation-wide contest, to
find the car built prior to 1900
sttll in the most perfect state of
preserratton and able to establish
the fact that its parts are all Its
own.
"Steamers" Expect!
In determining the winner of
the contest, original equipment
will be the first consideration,
with age next in order in judging.
Sponsors of the contest antici
pate some interestinug early day
models of the automobile indus
try. Including "steamers" as well
as gasoline propelled "horseless
carriages". In specifying that the
ear must antedate 1900. the
chamber of commerce has gone
back to the period before the
real "market" for automobiles
came Into existence.
Xo Accessories
The specification of "original"
equipment also holds promise of
sharp contrast with present-day
models. There will be no self
starter; no disc wheels or de
mountable rims; there will be no
electric lights and no electric
horn. The winning model In all
probability will resemble a buggy
on bicycle wheels, and quite like
ly it will be cranked from the side
if it happens to be a gasoline,
drlren vehicle.
Yet it may be a "steamer." In
this erent there may be a bit of
delay in demonstrating Us state
of perfection while the boiler Is
filled with water and the required
200 pounds of steam generated
within.

WOMAN'S HTGIEXIC TMXCI
PL.E8 BRAND HER AS MILD
MANIAC
'r AM considered as a mild sort
I of maniac by my neighbors be
cause I watch my children
carefully to see that they do not
play With children who have run
ning noses or who cough. When
my children
have a cold,
they are not
permitted t o
mingle with
others and-hare
been instructed
to use tissue
napkins instead
of hankies and
discard them
Into the toilet
as soon as used.
Instead of car
rying germ-la
den hankies in
pCIJ MmrfiCretSJt their pockets to
re-infect themselves and others.
My methods have usually prevent
ed the spread of .colds to the rest
of the family, and the cold rarely
lasts longer than a day or two.
And colds are a rare-thing in jy
family, too. I think I am cau
tious, but my neighbors ridicule
me and tell me that if the child
is destined (I hate that word!) to
have a cold. It will get It,, but not
through mingling with others.
"One mother told me that when
one or her children had scarlet
fever, the other played with her.
and, although she later sent the
child away, it had not been neces
sary since the child never caught
it. She believed that it was be
cause it was not destined to catch
it. Won't you please write on the
contagion of colds, whooping
cough and measles, and please ex
pose that ancient hokum of ward
ing off all ills by wearing a cam
phor bag? ! In these days of en
lightenment isn't it amazing to
find so many who still cling to an
cient fallacies? MRS. S."

Keep right on with your pro
gram. Mrs. S., and don't worry be
cause your neighbors consider you
a mild maniac. You are demon
strating that you are getting good
results, and sooner or later you
will find that you are educating
your neighbors as well.
This predestination of disease is
a remarkably persistent Idea from
ancient days, when superstition
was strong and science weak. It
does persist because of tbe lack
of training in scientific subject;
dence, and other false reasoning.
Tour neighbor, for Instance, no
ticed that her child . played with
another child in with scarlet fe
ver gad dida't get It, nd she at-4
tributes . It to predestination, not
knowing that certain children, at
times.'; anyway. ' may be . immune
to certain disease. For instance.
some children are immune to diph
theria. (This can be determined
by what i known as this Chick
test)v:;;.C: ,
There are certain diseases that
do leave a more or less permanent
resistance or Immunity to that
same disease. For instance, It is
rare for one to have smallpox or
typhoid fever twice, but H . can
happen.. . V;
It's ft criminal fallacy to expose
children, to nay contagious diseas
es, with the idea that they are des
tined to have tfrsm anyway, and
that the earlier the better. Chil
dren are not destined to have
these diseases, and if they do
have them, the later the better, for
the younger the child is the more
severe the contagion is apt to be.
The camphor bag delusion and
other such methods of warding off
diseases Will eventually give way.
But probably not in' this genera
tion, for it is only by the educa
tion in hygiene that the children
are getting and will be getting in
the public schools, that will be
generally effective.
We have a list of books on the
general care and feeding of. chil
dren which you may have, Mrs. S.

A California Bungalow of Unusual Appeal
W VnP1 , if K "gaffes
g)UNGALOWS of the so-called California
type are almost always attractive.
They carry an indefinable atmosphere
of the Spanish architecture even when the
native designers make no
special effort to provide it.
This bungalow is one of that
sort. It hasn't the flat
sprawling roof that usually
identifies the type, but the
arched doorway to the en
trance porch and the rough
textured walls instantly
bring into the mind's eye
those old missions that are
about all that is 'left in
Southern California of the
handiwork of the Spanish
masons of nearly three hun
dred years ago.
And when you glance at
the floor plan it is empha
sized all the more. Here is
the inescapable zig-zag lay
out with the patio in -the rear and the adja
cent broad, covered living porch that be
comes a spot of endless delight in the sum

best and the play of the fountain lulls one
into ecstatic drowsiness. For the patio to ful
fill its mission, should have both the fountain
and the flowers, the latter in great variety.
Like all real California
T
bungalows, this one has no
basement and likewise lacks
a heating system. It is pecu
liarly a warm climate home,
and if built in the North
must be provided with a
heating plant. The fireplace
