is a marked absence of radical changes
in motorcycle construction. It is ap-
parent that the makers chief concern
now is comfort for the rider-that is
now that spede has been burned into
the heart of the machine.
Refinement of detail is now being
given great attention and in many Of
the models Of well-known makes, there
is little new to be found. There has
been a readjustment of parts-parts
have been refined and perfected-but
otherwise there are not many changes.
The free engine clutch is, however,
present, in all it's glory. It is, doubt
less, the most noteworthy of the few
new features. Another feature, which
is made conspicuous by it's general
absence, is the mechanical oiler. 1t
blossomed out last year-but this
years models largely have omitted
it.
The show also demonstrates an in
creased interest in the spring frame,
or a substitute for it. Speed used to
be the only requirement for a sue
cessful motorcycle. They must now
be comfortable as well as fast. The
spring frame-and it's variations-is the
manufacturers answer to the increas-
ing demand for comfortable riding.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

For a sardine cocktail, q novel dish,
prepare cocktail sauce in a glass sur
rounded by ice, as in an oyster cock
tail. Then cut sardines In pieces
about an inch long. Serve in the sauce.
A reliable cement for glass orna-
ments is found in white Of egg, which
joins so neatly that the breakage may
easily escape detection. This, Of
course, is suitable only for articles

up. Brush Off all the powder possible.
It will be fast color.
After trying doughnuts, place the
kettle Of hot grease out of doors and
pour in a little cold water, enough
to make the grease bubble. This will
take out the burnt taste. and the
grease may be used again.
To fill door cracks, get a pound CT
glue, let 1t stand overnight covered
with water. Then pour off the water
and stir it into a pound Of corn
starch. Fill the cracks with this and
smooth off with a knife.
In cold weather put the clothespins
in a pan and set in the oven until
not suffer when hanging out the
clothes especially if the clothes are
rinsed the last time in warm water.
In mixing mustard, use warm, new
err hot water. If the water is too
warm it will make the condiment fiat.
A delicious mustard is made by mix
ing the dry mustard with equal parts
of olive oil and tarragon vinegar.
Vinegar favored with different
herbs will be found delightful adj
junct to various salads. Put fresh
dry herbs in a clean bottle, cover with
vinegar, corking tightly. Put the
bottle in a kettle of water.
To thoroughly clean porcelain sink,
take equal parts of chloride of lime

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

While it is advisable to pack a wa
ter bag flat. occasionally there is ne
cessity for rolling it. If so, it is well
to lay a piece of cloth or paper over
the bag first. then there will be no
possible danger of the sides of the bag
sticking together.
White felt hats can be successfully
cleaned with a paste Of magnesia and
cold water which should be applied
with a brush and allowed to dry on.
When the magnesia is perfectly dry
it can be brushed off, and the hat
should be perfectly clean.
To clean white marble, wash it
thoroughly with soap and water; then

partments of their model institution,
for the sales come almost unsought.
Apart from the sales of pleasure
cars, however, great interest is mans
ifested this season in the Packard
truck. This embodies the qualities
ly efficient degree. The Packard g.
ton truck is claimed to have the du-
rability and even the capacity of most
rival 5-ton trucks, and it's workman
ship and mechanism is of the same
superlative standard as Is found in the
Packard automobiles throughout.
Through the energies of the sales de-
partment Of the Blue Ribbon Garage,
the Packard has come into exception
ally high favor in this section. Like
all good things. it is it's own best
recommendation. Among their veal
thier patrons the Blue Ribbon people
have a number of patrons who own
their sales for 1911 include a number
of users Of the Packard who are SO
thoroughly pleased with the car that
they will have no other and are anx-
ious to secure the very latest output
of the thriving factory.
The Blue Ribbon people have been
demonstrating for several months
so smoothly that on numerous occa-
sions 1t has been pressed into ser
vice for the conveyance of passengers
riding as smoothly almost as a tour
ing car, while it embodies at the same
time the toughness and durability
that are requisite in a vehicle for the
transfer Of cumbersome loads. Many
rigorous tests have been made of the
truck, such as the transfer of crock
cry and delicate furniture. Not once
has the truck failed. Long .hauls
have been made. in very brief time,
always with most gratifying results.
With their sales Of pleasure vehicles
practically complete for the year, the
truck will no doubt be exploited with
success.
Unlike many other automobile es-
Establishments, the Blue Ribbon garage
is not at all dull at this period of the
year. The repair department Is kept
constantly busy with the overhauling
of old machines. Storage is another
big feature at the capacious Blue
Ribbon garage.
The line of automobile accessories,
even including fur and rubber coats,
is complete throughout. 1t would be
hard to imagine any. sort of device
for the most completely equipped
car that Is not to be supplied in the
big department reserved for these
features at the busy Fairfield avenue
establishment.
John G. Weber, with Packard cars
for hire and a limousine f." the
ter, makes his headquarters at the
Blue Ribbon garage where his ma
chimes may be secured day or night
at reasonable rates.

REV. FIR. J. v. HUSTON TO
LECTURE UNDER AUSPICES
OF DIVISION NO. 3, A. 0. H,
Lecture and Sacred Concert to
be Given at Polls Theatre
Sunday Evening March H.
Subject of Address to be
Faith and Fatherland"

Sunday evening, March II at Po-
IFS theatre under the auspices of Di-
vision No. A. o. H., there will be a
lecture and concert for the charity
fund of the division. The committee
tunate in securing as a lecturer Rev.
assistants at st. Charles church and
noted throughout the diocese of
Hartford as one Of it's most scholar
lyl pulpit orators.
The musical features Of the even
ing will be noteworthy in that the tai
emit will be among the finest procur-
able and the exercises will be in keep
ing with the day. 1t had been the
intention of the division at first to OBJ
tain Jackson's theatre but owing to
the change in management it was
deemed advisable to secure Polls.
Father Huston will take for his
subject, Faith and Fatherland'', a
| theme that he may be expected to
| illuminate as few only can. He has
been an untiring student Of Irish lit
and tribulations of the Irish race
through the long course Of history.
| The following is from the press COM
mittee of Division No. 3:
Lacordaire fittingly describes men
Of Father Illusions type, when he
WIILcS DIS lOlOWS.
Every remarkable man has been
fond of letters. The same can be
said of every remarkable nation. The
Irish have always been a literary peo-
| pie. To song and legend and his
| tory they have chung through sun
shine and shadow with the same lofty
tenacity as to faith and fatherland
No misfortune has been able to dull
the Irish mind, however it might
check its expression. War with the
Danes failed. War with the Saxon
| and Norman failed. The loss of ma
tional independence failed. Penal
laws failed. The whole internal ma
chinery of English tyranny failed. in
short everything failed. This is one
| Of the wonders of history. If we
would understand the philosophy OF
such a singular fact quotes Lacor-
daire, we must view the Irish race
from both a natural and a supernat-
| ural standpoint. The true Celt is
above all other men gifted with fine
sentiments, generous impulses, and a
| capacity to admire the good,the beau
tiful, the sublime. Thus, by nature
| he is a lover of literature. But there
| Is a still higher view to be taken. The
Catholic religion harmonized with
his nature, at the same time that il
elevates his mind and -spiritualizes
| his faculties. Nature and religion
have thus combined to mould his gen.
| ius."
Father Huston is an illustration
Those who have heard him will at
tend, those who have not heard him
will miss a treat if they do not at
tend.

HOW TO PRESERVE TIRES
PLACED IN STORAGE

FOR THE WINTER.
By r. ]. F1restone sales manager Of
the Firestone Tire & Rubber
Company
''To relieve the strain. jack up the
car off all four tires and let out
enough of the air to release the inter-
nal pressure on the casing. If the
tires are practically new or in good
repair it will be sufficient to leave
them this way. taking care to clean
all oil or grease off the outside. Do
not let them come in contact with
heat or dampness and cover OF wrap
to exclude the light and air.
Tires which are perceptibly worn or
cut should be removed from the rims,
cleaned. inspected and turned over to
a competent repair shop for attention,
if necessary. In fact. it is an ex-
cellent plan to remove all tires for
thorough inspection. as small injuries
quickly grow to serious ones.
Here is where qufck-detachable de
mountable rims are great advantage,
as they make re-changinE so easy
that the owner does not keep post
poning the job until 1t never is done.
to the detriment of the tires.
Tires which are removed from the
rims should be wrapped in paper TO
exclude lii Int and air and stored in a
cool. dark place. All rust shoul1 be
cleaned off the rims. and the inside
polished with graphite or stove polish
to prevent further rust"
