"- -' -.The map is compiled by the J American Automobile association as a guide to motorists and avl " ators on when to be prepared for freezing weather. Frost's initial app;a:ance is in the'hlKh elevations of, the Rock ies. It arrives about August 20 In some partaof high Montana -, and Idaho, -while the upper reaches of Wyoming I have no frost-free months. I Bn for the lover-altitudes of most of the United States, the ' southward bound advance guard ' of frost crystals comes over the Canadian border between Sep tern " ber 15 and Oetober 1. .., ".Up along the Maine coast for - SO years frosts have come soon .after - mid-September, but from Cane Cod southward there is a . whole month's delay, j the aver : aee frost date being October 20. The Gulf Stream not far off shore probibly accounts for this abrupt change. Some of the New England south shores rank in lateness of first. frosts with the Carolina coasts, and pajts of Ten nessee, Oklahoma, - Arkansas and .notberBLonisiana, where late ' tctober-ts the likely period. - In, the ?asJUwfist .belt of the midr die United States there are few places, except' i high r elevations, : where frost is due before October. Theoretically an American need not leave his own country to find temperatures lower than the north pole's known extremes, which Steffansson, the explorer, says probably do not get beyond 60 below. - Poplar River, Mont., had '67 below January 1, 1885. the cold est record in the United States, and thevextreme northern border of North Dakota occasionally . reacjTestast.. under 60.

Beauty of line and striking color combination in blue and gray appeawa kj Bliss uw g artistic sense, with the Canadian Forced to Live In Woodshed Because His House is in United States MALONE. N. Y. (AP) This is the story of "Flynn's Lines" and the answer to something of an international question. "Flynn's Lines" Is a general store with living quarters upstairs, a woodshed attached to the rear of ttie house and; an- Internatiorial boundary Jine reposing on the threshold of the woodshed door.' 'The new owner of the building, Arthur Plante, sits In his Cana dian woodshed and gazes into the dusty and cobweb hung interior of his American general store and living quarters from which he has been barred by the decision of the United States immigration bureau. Plante's predicament 'and the decision of the immigration office has answered a question puzzling more than a dozen property own ers scattered along the New York state-Canadian border, a question of years standing. These persons, some of them possessing farm lands and oth ers stores similar to .that of Flynn's line, have conducted their domestic business in an interna tional manner without assurance, in recent years at least, that one country or the other could not bar them from half of their own land. The Plante ease,, they be lieve, shows them it is possible. Arthur Plante. a carpenter. purchased the store four months ago from John B. Flynn and, ac cording to the immigration offi cers, went about the business of living on both sides of 'the bor der after applying for permission from the United States. The im migration bureau called a special board of inqnlry to decide on the application of the Canadian who reported he had lived in the Unit ed States since 1900: The board found him "inadmissable" and the immigration office barred him A IUH.T EY SUK3C TO - Tbcw prices to. b.Baiek Factory, pec::l equip ment extra, tlarejuctta i delivered prices tadada ; only feeeoinailj charges . for tkli eery nd6naacin CoaTenicnt tenuesn be oTSTa. c! tiSJ'KE-': wpri0Mt S5cS hour from via-Iib.'uvdaak along at 3S8 N.

Plante said his brother operated a store and lived In a home both of which occupy ground in the United States and Canada. This place, Plante said, was ten miles east of "Flynn's Lines" and the brother moved fleely about1 his building without interference from either country. Plante today eyed the. wood shed into which he and his wife had moved, studied the tar paper lining he was tacking to the inner wall to keep out this winter's wind roaring up from the "Cana dian flats" and decllred he was not going to be "frozen out" of that part of his property by the immigration ruling.

USELESS MARSH GHSill KENTON, Ohio (AP) Grow ing of onions on reclaimed marsh land, worthless a few years ago, is fast becoming one of Ohta's greatest agricultural indnstries. In the Scioto marshes west of here upwards of 20,000 acres are producing onions. These reclaim ed marshes will produce grades as fine and in as lange quantities as any other onion belt, growers say. Planting is started late In March and early in April. Seed is often blown from the ground by high winds and as many as five plantings nave been necessary to get a stand. Cultivatipn some- times is bindered T frequent rains and the excessive dampness I makes weeding difficult. The crop is harvested in Aug ust, and more than 600 workers were needed for one big farm alone. Most of the workers come in family groups from Kentucky. In harvesting, one group pulls the onions, another tops them. Once pulled, they are left in the field for a day in windrows, then topped. Thev then are nlaced in crates j and ieft for 10 days in ricks, af- ter which they go - to a storage house for government grading and bagging. White onions of the Glove type, and the Spanish, or yellow onion, a larger variety, are the leaders in the Ohio fields.

Through a Krag slant ing window on one side the pas sengers can see the rest of the world go by. But the largest public room is the lounge. It is 60 feet long and 32 feet wide, with a polished floor for dancing and writing tables along the walls. On each side is a promenade deck, with a rail from which pas sengers can ook out. The cold which heretofore has frozen out the occupants of dir igibles is circumvented in the R-101, with the heat from the five motors pumping hot air to tne passenger quarters. And the no-smoking rule which has troubled passengers on other dirigibles, is lacking here. Those who smoke, however, must go to a fireproof smoking room to, do it. No one is permitted to carry matches; the smokes are ignited by electric lighters.

The United States with 3,005,- 614 miles of road has a greater total mileage than all of the rest of the world combined. This is given as one reason why there is one automobile in the United States for every five persons.

WILKIE (Associated Press Correspondent) DETROIT (AP) Since; the birth! of the automobile Industry, the "saturation point" has been a much written about and much dis cussed phrase, but to the leaders of the industry today it is a phrase only. When automobiles were hand made it was predicted quite freely that the "saturation point" was "Just around the corner-" - The "horseless,' "carriage," . generally was i regarded as a contraption thationly a" comparatively few persons with a lot of money' and little regard for life and limb could be interested In. When these persons bad been supplied cars, -the. pessimists , predicted, there would be no market for fu ture product. Thirty years afterward, with the Industry producing or plan ning to produce close to five mil lion automobiles in one year, "the saturation point,". in the estima tion of leading producers has been pushed still farther into the fu ture. - "Cars In operation continually Increase and are going to Increase .for some time to come," says one of the largest motor manufactur ers. "As the number of cars in creases, the replacement demand increases. This in turn reflects an increase In production with the resulting growth of the industry as a whole. "In addition, the export mar kets offer great opportunities for increased volume." One of the difficulties Ameri can exporters meet in, overseas business is the fact that the motor car has not been generally accept ed as as essential utility as in the United States! High taxes, and cost of gaso line, oil, tires and other items contribute to -make operation of motor cars expensive in compari son to 'mileage costs in the United States. And the exporter faces also the tariff and cost of freight that add about 33 per cent to the retail de- livered price of the car as com pared to the delivered price In the United States. 4 m - ' I 1 First Glass Storage For finest Furniture and Pianos with precaution against moths and mice Local and Long Distance Hauling Again with the best of care for fine Furniture Larmer Transfer & Storage Phone 930 ft- you driven a Chevrolet Sioc?
