This contaminated oil circulates through your engine, impairs its performance and ulti mately leads to rapid depreciation and repairs. Your Instruction Book says, "flush out the crankcase regularly and refill with fresh oil." But these important instructions are often disregarded; cleaning the crank case is a job generally disliked. To meet this need, Modern Crankcase Cleaning Ser vice has been established by first-class garages and other dealers, co-operating with the Standard Oil Com pany. These garages and dealers use Calol Flushing Oil, the scientific agent that cleans out old oil, dirt, grit and other impurities, and does not impair the lubricating efficiency of fresh oil used. The cleaned crankcase is refilled with the proper grade of Zerolene. Look for the range or dealer display irtg tbe sign shown below, it means " Better operation and onjer angina Ufa," a ser vice promptly given at a nominal cost.

T&e centenary of the punsy was cel ebrnterj a few years ago by tbe Eng lish florists and the history of the flower as given at the time was as fol lows : "Just one hundred years ago Lady Mury Bennett, a daughter of the eflri of TnnkervJlIe, was so struck with the simple beauty of a tiny wildling viola tri-color that slic collected some of the best plants nnd gnve them careful cul tivation. The first batch of seedlings raised by her gave such promise that systematic selection was at once insti tuted, and, thereafter the Improvement of the genus was taken up by the lead lug growers. Thus to an enthusiastic amateur we are indebted for one of the most popular and beautiful of our garden flowers." Cradle Boards. There are nine different kinds of cradle boards used by the various tribes of North American Indians. The Eskimos did not use such a board. The baby was wrapped In the hood of the mother's fur coot In the most south urn trlhett tha haiv bound to the mother's back by a strip of cloth long enough to hold It Erected to the Memory of Japanese Maid, But Iti Precise Idea Hardly Apparent. One of the pretty shrines of Japan Is based on the story of a beautiful girl, nnd to this day occidentals can not figure out If the shrine was to perpetuate a tragedy or an honor. The story Is that Yamatodake, one of tbe greatest wnrriors In the history of the country, hnlted for a nitrlit at the village of Shimodaira. He was weary I of battle and strife, and sent out word to the village that he wished to be entertained by the prettiest girl there. Kemachlya was selected, and it is told how she spent the evening singing and dancing for the warrior. He went on his masterful way the next morning leaving the little maiden to mourn his passing, and to give birth to his child In due time. Now. the child died, as did Its moth er, and the village erected the shrine, and every few years it is rebuilt and made more beautiful. But what no occidental can discover Is wheMier the shrfne was built to remind the citizens of the militarism of the old dnys that trod with relentless heels on beggar and wealthy alike, and thus to pay tribute to a tragedy, or whether it was built to show that the great war rior honored the humble village by taking one of Its membership Into bis arms. two solos, "Silver Threads Among the Gold," and "The Harbor of Love" accompanied by Miss Doris Wilmot. "Grandpa" Morris in rendering some of the old fashioned tunes on his vio lin displayed the wonderful flexibil ity of his eighty-four year old fin-, gers. This seventeen year old bride spent her honeymoon on her husband's farm helping him build their one room log cabin with its stone fire place in front of which she cooked for several years. They experienced all the alarms of that border land where the bush whackres mght swoop down upon them at any time to be nursupr? ntiri w.i,u.reu, ac.irsc, oy iederal troops which were soon transDorted tn the. eastern front, to be replaced by the state miliia in which Mr. Morris served four years; at times at home iur a iew uays out subject to call whenever the lives and property of the citizens were endangered by the guerrillas roaming the country. The young wife and mother alone carried w n mrm worK aunng his absence; her baby, guarded by a faithful dog, under a tree. Her onlv foorf bread and pork, often barefoot, for "UBa noc oe naa, with the sound of eannon and the smoke of gun powder often terrifying her. When her baby was about six months old a soldier in the grey uniform entered the house inquiring for her husband. Upon seeing the child he took it up saying to the trembling mother, j'?6 frightened, I just want to hold it a little, for T Ipff as big as this at hone." With tears m nis eyes he put the child in her arms and, left the house after she told him her husband was in camp, although he was in his own fioU of sight. They raised their own sheep and she spun, wove and made all their clothing, How noarlv these livoo lint v,i. to that epoch making period! About ' "me callow candles cave wav to kerosene lamps.

The Kangaroo received its name through the failure of white men to understand the language of the Aus tralian bushmen. Captain Cook, dis coverer of Australia, gazing shoreward one day, saw a group of natives about what seemed to be a most peculiar animal. He sent a group of men ashore to get It, and was still more amazed when told of its shupe, Its habit of carrying its young in a pouch and its remarkable leaping ability. He wanted the natives' name for the spec imen that be Intended to take back to England. "What's the name of that beostie?" demanded an English tar of the na tives' chief. "Kan ga roo," returned the native. "Kangaroo, eh?" repeated the sailor man, and, satisfied, returned . to his captain. Tbe fact is, however, that the words spoken hy the chief ore merely a phrase meaning "I, or we, don't know." Taking Care of Indoor Plants. To make ferns grow rapidly indoors ani look fresh and green, chop a few oysters fine and mix with the soil and then water well. This may be done every fortnight. Wash the leaves of your rubber plant with a cloth wet with olive oil. This nourishes the plant and keeps the leaves dark green and velvety. Add a few drops of am monia to a quart of lukewarm water when you water house plants. The chemical acts as a tonic and fertilizer and makes the foliage fresher. And be careful, when real winter weather comes, not to water your plants with water too cold. Water running from a faucet In January is for too cold for tender plants. Add enough hot water to make the drink you give your plants lukewarm as rainwater always Is In summer time.
