Use a slightly th in n er oil or-one which will not be too sluggish a t the low tem p e ra tu re s usually m et at your la ti tude. If inconvenient o r im possible to change the oil im m ediately, keep the c ar in a w arm place and do not tak e it out until th e engine h as run ten m inutes or so and w arm ed u p th e nil. The hot oil flowing back into the sum p soon brings it to a tem p eratu re w here the cold will have no bad effect upon it. If obliged to let th e car stand any length of tim e w ith engine riot running, you will of course blan ket the ra d ia to r which not only pro te c ts the cooling system but th e oh as well. % D anger Often Overlooked. T here is one danger which Is fre quently overlooked and th a t is an ac cum ulation of w a te r a t the bottom of tbe sum p or oil well. T his comes from the products of com bustion leak ing p ast the piston and also from oc casional leakage of the cooling system If the sum p Is exposed to freezing tem p eratu re th is w ater will freeze. If there is enough of it. some may freeze in the oil pump, w recking it. So draw off a little oil from th e bottom of the sum p a t least once a week, carefully draining out all w ater, if found. Change the grease in the gear-case and differential case to a heavy oil. A semi-tiuhl grease or gear compound will thicken up in w inter and will not p en etrate w here it should. So pay careful a tten tio n to these de tails. as lubrication of the car is u m a tte r which sim ply MUST tie right.

Gen. Peyton C. M arch, chief of staff of the U nited S ta te s arm y durinj ;he g reat war, has retired from active m ilitary service. But he will be long in the public eye—because of the m any service rancors th a t only tim e will straig h ten out. It Is too soon to w rite the history of the World w ar and to pass judgm ent on the qual ity of his services as head of the army staff. It frequently is said thut General March was the S tanton of the W ar departm ent during his term of duty as th e chief of the general staff. Gen eral M arch Is credited by many with deciding tilings in advance and, when his decision was made, with telling Secrt tary of W ar B aker to “sign here.” In w ar tim es some one In the War departm ent m ust be an autocrat. March unquestionably w as the m ili tary a u to c rat of the departm ent during the w ar. N aturally, be m ade enemies. Today it is known th a t some of the officers cherish b itter feelings because of the things which he did. But high service he unquestionably perform ed. He cut red tape and m ade things move with a rap ld ’ty th a t they never had moved with before. G eneral '.¡arch was given the D istinguished Service M edal for his conduct I of th e g rea t staff departm ent in th e days of the war. 300 Years Total Ages of 4- Women Diners P- M iddletown, N.
