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

writes In Collier’s.
A new generation o f youth tins

Too M any Cannot See

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

with, and It Is worth while to sacrifice
almost all else If we may only get the

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

Shabby Tires Are Not

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.

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.
