THE GATE CITY JOURNAL EXPERIENCE OF NERVOUS WOMAN STRIKING FEATURES O F NEW STAR COUPSTER S A T IS F A C T O R Y W A Y OF M ARKIN G CANS Flexible door window* that may be lowered or raised like pullman car curtains and that disappear within the top of the body when raised are a I striking feature of the new Star coupster. In reality the coupster Is a convertible car, affording all the comforts of closed car transportation, yet convertible Into an open car by the simple ex pedient of rulsing two disappearing windows— a live-second operation. For all practical purposes it is two cars in one.

War Memories Fade With Passing Years The memory o f the war days la fad ln(t from the mind o f the world. The 10.000,000 dead He In their graves, hut life goes marching on. Self-preaerva- tlon. vital Interests, new and exciting problems, the human whirligig, nre too absorbing for a continual hark hack to the thought o f that mortality. W e are d o longer conscious o f any gnp in the ranks o f youth, torn out by the ma chinery of destruction. We do not realise the loss of all that spirit, genius, activity and blood, except In private remembrance of some dead bov whose portrait In uniform stands on the mantelshelf. Sir Philip (llbbs writes In Collier’s. A new generation o f youth tins grown up since the beginning o f the war. Boys o f ten at that time of his tory are now twenty, and not much In terested In that old tale. Olrls who were twelve are now mothers o f babes. The w a r ! Bother the w a r! Bet’s for get It and get on with life. In that youth Is right. It Is not in Its nature nor in moral health to dwell on morbid memories. But It Is hard on those whose service Is forgotten—so soon. In England—ten years after— there •re still 58,000 wounded soldiers In th« hospitals— and In France great num ber« m ore; but they are hidden away, as a painful secret o f thing* that hap pened. Only now and ngaln the sight of their hospital blue in some quiet country lane, near their hiding places, ■hocks one with a sharp stab o f re morse. We had forgotten all that. We hate to he reminded o f It. Even the men who fought through those years seldom speak of their ex perlence. It la fading out o f their own minds, though It seemed unforgettsble They are forgetting the names o f the village« In France and Flanders, where they were billeted, or where they fought, or where they passed a hundred times with their guns and transport under shellfire. flood hen tens I—don’t you remember that place w here the wagon« were “pasted." where the sergeant major waa blow * to bits, where old Dick got his “ blighty” wound? No. Something has passed a sponge across those tablets o f memory—things that happened afterward. Now and again nt divisional banquets officers try to revive the spirit o f those days and exchange yarns about trench war fare and days o f battle. It Is queer how they remember only the Jokes, the comradeship, the thrill. The horror has passed. Too M any Cannot See Finer A spects o f L ife One autumn e\cuing at sunset two men were loitering on the picturesque old bridge nt Battersea, England. One of them was a writer, hard-working hut unsuccessful. The river was at a low stnge, at least three-quarters ebh, and on each side o f It there were patches o f shin ing mud thnt reflected the glorious western sky, which turned the ooze Into a mass of wonderful colors. Though the writer wns hungry, he forgot Ids hunger as he stood there watching. He was pleased to see the other nmn also watching. Presently the other man edged a little closer to the writer and re marked. ’’Throws up a ’eap of mud, don’t she?’’ U was not the sunset that he was seeing, but the mud. The glory that was thrilling one was lost on the other. The world Is there in those two men. They are repreaentatlve; the whole world might be ranged behind one or the other— those who see the mud and those who see the glory. In life ev erything depends on the eyes we look with, and It Is worth while to sacrifice almost all else If we may only get the right sort o f eyesi Modern realism, so-called, la often the ability to see only mnd. It la also s form o f blind ness, the inability to see the finer, purer aspects o f life— Youth's C oo, pa nlon. EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY OF CARS W ATER INJURY TO TIRES IS SMALL Numerous Devices Add to Comfort and Satisfac tion of Owner. Now and then In the course o f an automobile trip a car has to pass through a streum, and the question is sometimes discussed whether the ac tion of the water is harmful to the tlrea. The same question arises when the car is out in a heavy rain. 8uch a wetting is practically noth ing at all, either for damage or im provement. At any rate, the effect on the tire Is not harmful. Two chief constituents of a tire are rubber and cotton, both vegetable substances, and as a rule water does not injure vege- table matter. As Illustrative of this point, there Is the old but true story o f the fanner who, when one o f his rubber boots fell Into a well, placed the other on a shelf In a closet. Twelve years later when the well was cleaned the lost boot was found to be In ex cellent condition, but the boot on the shelf had fallen Into ruin. If running through a brook resulted In cooling a tire the effect would be decidedly beneficial, but a quick dash through the water has little effect on the heated air within the tire and consequently the temperature change In the tire after Its bath Is negligible. Water Itself apparently does no harm to fires, but the combination of air and moisture commonly known as humidity Is very destructive, especial ly on the cotton In ordinary fabric tires. The moist air works In between the layers of the fabric and rota them out, sometimes even before the tires leave the dealer’s storeroom. Cord tires stand humidity better. The harmful effect o f moist air la the chief reason why, when tires are stored, they should he kept In a dry atmosphere. As sunlight Is also harm ful, the storage place Bhould be dark ened. It la difficult to believe that the oil pressure gauges and he ampere-me- , ters which now appear on the instru ment hoards o f virtually all makes of ears were once regarded by many as unnecessary frills. Today there are a number of accessories being offered | which are similarly regarded, which Is j the same as saying that they would be appreciated If only their advan- j tages were better known. By equipping a car with some of these fitments, greater satisfaction, ef ficiency and safety will result. Add front and rear bumpers to the car, at tach one o f the many rear signaling devices, keep a set o f antl-skld chains handy and the car will be enormously I benefited in proportion to the cost of the protection. Frequently such safe ty devices add to the car’s appearance and thus not only help protect the | owner’s original Investment, but add to It. A spotlight attached to the windshield and played upon the road may prevent wrecking the car in a ditch. Take efficiency as another Instance. A car that Is operated without proper regulation o f the cooling system Is at ■11 times running Inefficiently. This is especially true in winter when the engine is constantly operated at the wrong temperature, either boiling over because the radiator Is covered with the lap-robe or running cold because there is no covering at all. The mar ket now offers several radiator covers with openings which can be operated from the dash. Along the efficiency line are other devices which are destined to filter the gasoline before It Is admitted to the carburetor, thus preventing the entrance of dirty or watered gasoline to the carburetor or engine. A device o f this character may pay for Itself within a month after it is installed. Then there are shock absorbers, which In addition to giving greater riding comfort, save the springs from breakage on the rebound and thus in crease the usefulness of the car by preventing breakdowns. Even cut outs which were at one time regarded as toys for the speed maniacs are now shown to have a very Important use. Regardless o f the selling points of each accessory or all of them as a group. It is a fact that any one of them adds to the second-hand value of a car. So the motorist not only has the use o f the accessories with which he equips his car and the savings on insurance. Inconvenience, repair bills, etc., but he gets a return premium when he goes to sell the car. Good Advice 1» to Give Machine the Once-Over There's economy, also satisfaction In giving your car the onoe-over in the spring, then if It needs replace ments or anything else to bring it hack to perfect form, have It done ns quick ly as possible. Naturally the toll of a year’s driv ing Is most severe, and generally there Is a reminder or two. Right here the old stitch in time principle works out. When the car Is restored to Its best shape, almost as good as the day It was bought, riding In it is fur more enjoyable, also tt will bring a much better price If you care to sell or ex pect to trade It In on a new car. Betting your motor car run down Is false economy. Eventually it costs you more and In the Interim you are not happiest when riding along the highways. Even little things which you may think are of no special consequence develop into big Items In repair bills If allowed to run on without Interrup tion. Windshield Rattle Running Through Stream Is Not Injurious. Shabby Tires Are Not Favored for Any Car j In checking milk and cream ship ments at depots, dairies, and cream eries, we find that quits a number of tha milk and cream cans are not prop erly marked so that they can positive ly be Identified. Most any farmer or dairyman can tell bla own can by soma peculiar mark or particular dent or ■cratch on the can. but be must re member these marks mean nothing to a stranger. Milk cans that are shipped In by truck sometimes have no marks on them or are partly worn off. Usually the truck driver or the man at the milk plant can tell whose can It la, but If a strange truck driver or new man at the milk plant be on tha job, be would be unable to recognize these cans. Farmers who ship cream by truck or rail should not depend too much on the common tag that Is usually used. It may get wet and the writing on It be obliterated or It may become torn off and lost. There are several ways o f marking your cans that are satisfactory. A brass name plate may be soldered on the can or a brass tag attached to the link which holds the cover to the can, bearing the owner's name and address. Another way Is to have your name and address embossed In the body of the can. This can be dona when you buy a new can. The cost of emboss ing the name and address In the body of the can Is about 50 cents for a single can and less where more are done at the same time. If for some reason yon prefer to paint your name and address on the cans, be sure to put It oo plainly and look It over occasionally to assure yourself It can be understood by oth ers. If a can of cream should arrive with out any tag or Identification as to who sent the can, the only thing the ex press company can do ts to sell tha cream and await developments which come only after long delay and annoy ance to all concerned. Remember the express company and the creameries and milk plants handle thousands of cans every day and they all look alike to them, if not properly marked.—W. H. Skltt, Dairy Inspector, Colorado State Dairy Commission. Cow at Calving Time Is Entitled to Right Care A Wisconsin dairy expert recom mends the following care o f the milk cow at calving time: Have cows In good condition to In sure reserve energy and body tissues for milk production. Provide a comfortable box stall or suitable place for calving. Be prepared to treat an attack o f milk fever by having a milk-fever out fit to Inflate udder with air. Blanket cow Immediately after calving If weatber endangers her be coming chilled. Do not milk cows completely dry for 48 hours after calving. Feed cows sparingly the first few days after calving. Warm water and a few quarts of scalded bran or oats and good bay la sufficient for the first day or two after calving. Gradually work cows on to full feed, which ordinarily re quires two to three weeks. Be careful not to overfeed. Remove the afterbirth If necessary Inside of 48 hours after calving, and do not allow the cow to eat It. Remove the calf from Its mother after the first two to fonr days, and teach It to drink from a pall. Shabby tires on a good-looking car 1 Yet stand on any street corner today and count the number of patched-up, dilapidated tires which are being used to the last mile. The cost of keeping these tires running for a few thou sand miles w’ould nearly pay for new ones. Mileage such as this comes high. Tire conservation does not mean picking up a decrepit tire and putting It back into service at a big repair cost Just to save a little rubber left In the tread. It means taking care of the tire from the first so that it will be able to deliver all the mileage built Into it by the maker. When tires are so far worn that they nre soon to blow, it Is poor economy to repair them. Such a course means sacrifice of the inner tube as well. Cheap, makeshift patches, hoots and temporary repairs of all kinds are now j pj.oduce High Producers being called Into use as never before, I ° but patching up an old caving in which separation of fabric plies has already No one can tell with certainty Just l»egun. cannot give the freedom from what the daughters o f a pure bred tire trouble on which the pleasure in dairy sire will produce until after motoring so largely depends. they hava been milked, but It can be stated with certainty that the danghters o f common or scrub cows Tying in Spring Leaves sired by a good pure bred dairy sire W ill Prevent Spreading will be better than their dams.
