 Makers of motor cars are putting reduced prices into effect. This re- duction is the result of a falling of In the price of crude rubber, which the dealers were given the benefit of as long ago as last January.
 If the cylinder surfaces are coated with carbon or any other crust the heat transfer will be interfered with, and the result may be a loss due to the rarefying effect, although in some cases this same crust may serve to limit the head that will pass to the jacket, and 8 gain may result This is not desirable on the ground that the crust will not remain at 8 constant thickness, hence it does not represent a stable condition.
 That the addition of anesthetio, ether as a primer will aid In starting the motor is generally known among mo- toring medical men. It is very useful to them. since they are compelled to allow the car to stand in all kinds of weather.
 There arc 100000 motorists in Eng land now, and before the year is out there should be 25,000 more. Prac- tically all the British motor making firms have arranged for an increased output, and apparently all seem confi- dent as to the prospects.
 Perhaps no colors are more univer- sally popular than grays. Just now the leader is elephant gray. Battleship gray, automobile gray, French cadet, and onyx gray offer choice of pOpu- lar grays All these grays have 8 white lead base and are durable. More over, they are seasoneble colors at any time of the year, show dust and eff fects of road service least of all oolors and look neat until worn out,
 For touring some sort of a dust coat or slip-on is essential to comfort. A number of coats designed for this service are to be found in the supply stores among which may be mentioned the English slip-on, the gaberdine and the rubberized raincoat, while polo coats are very popular for spring wear. In London some of the big trucks are
 
 getting as high as 3o,00o miles out of a set of solid rubber tires yet there are cities in America where the tire maker will not guarantee S,0o0 niles. Deplorable conditions of the street pavements are responsible for this. It is further a fact that it is possible in America to get nearly twice as much tire mileage in one city as in another, due solely to the street pavements. DANlELsON AND PUTNAM

DOINGS IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLT

automobile owners in Windham ecuu. ty towns have put their cars in real l service for the season, and many d them have not driven them at all. Road conditions are not yet wholly satisfac-
 tory for touring, though good enough for general use.
 The "blue beIi7 of the southeFI New England Telephone compan1 adorns the side of the new runabout that has been supplied by the company to Wire Chief Charles T. Thayer who has supervision of lines and plant de- partment employees in the Putnam, Danielson and Moosup divisions. Sev- eral cars to be used in such service have been purchased by the company.
 Pleasure as well ss business service may be gotten out of auto trucks. A demonstration of this was given last l Saturday night, when Representative Urgele Lafrance of Plainfield took ] nearly a score of members of the Del phi club from his home in Central Village to attend a banquet Of the or ganization at the Putnam Inn.
 A first class highway practically all the distance from Norwich to Worces- ter will become 8 reality before the 1912 touring season is far advanced. The state highway department in con Junction with the towns of Klllingly and Thompson has plans completed Co improve routes from Attawaugan to the state road at the Putnam town line and from North Grosvenordale to the Massachusetts line The big 8 curve above Attawaugan is to be elim- mated by running @ new route throuEh a part of the Wheaton farm.
 The use of heavy service trucks, which will be more general than ever this summer, Is attracting the atten- ton of town officials, who are anxious about the effect of four, five and six ton loads on country highway bridges that were not intended to withstand such heavy strains as Is being put up on them. To prevent liability on tho town in case of accidents to trucks az such places it may become necessary to carefully supervise the movement of such traffic.

MAY NOT FIGHT.
Report That Turkish italian War Is
Over Hats Balkan States.

London, Oct. 5.-A more hopeful feel
ing prevailed yesterday concerning the
Balkan situation, for diplomacy has
made some little progress toward a so.
luton of the crisis. The arrival of the
news that the powers had reached a
complete agreement and that the Bal
kan states had modified their demand
was, however, simultaneous with further
reports of fighting on the frontiers.
In view of the fact that they are nm.
able to procure financial support, it is
believed that the Balkan nations will
soon see the futility of going to war
only in the end to be deprived of such
territorial benefits as they might have
expected to obtain in the event of sue
cess in their fight with Turkey.
The report that Turkey and Italy
har arranged peace is also believed to
have had some influence on the Servian,
Bulgarian, Montenegrin and Greek allies.
Turkey, on the other hand has become
less docile and with her hands virtually
free from the Italian war, she appears
bent on settling the Balkan question
once for all by means of war.

Care of White Hair.

Sometimes snow white hair is great
charm but those locks won't long remain
snowy if they are not very tenderly
treated. In the first place if they are
regularly wayed--and they will look the
prettier for that treatment the waving
must be done with curl-papers, kids, or
bits of tightly twisted white cloth, and
never with a hot iron as that yellows
the hair and utterly spoils its appear
ance.
Equal care must be taken when having
mothers white locks shampooed. Avoid
any sort of dark soap and do the actual
cleansing with CASTLE or the white of an
egg. being careful to rinse the head in
several waters so as to remove every
particle OF the soapy substance, A
lemon squeezed in wash bowl full
OF water makes an excellent rinsing for
white hair as it adds to its snowy APP
pearance and for the same reason that
linens are the better for little blue
water, so are white locks, but the blue
tone must be very faint indeed and
meyer allowed to dry into the hair.
White locks should be rubbed or
famed until they are thoroughly dried
and not allowed to get dry by degrees
simply from hanging unbound or rapidly
by seating the owner of them close
to a hot fire. White locks that are
too quickly dried look fluffy for a few
days but they never look soft and of fine
texture.

How to Cook Sweet Potatoes.

Northern housewives seldom cook the
sweet potato as aceeptably or in as
many different ways as it is cooked in
the south. Some northern cooks do not
even boil it properly. They let it stand
In the water after it is done or else cook
it too long so that it becomes soggy and
soft. Sweet potatoes should be put into
water that is boiling and should be cook
ed just at the boiling point until they
can be pierced to the center. But they
should not be allowed to cook until they
are soft. If you want mealv potatoes,
take them out of the water as soon as
they can be pierced, slip them at once
into hot oven in a baking pan and let
them stand there few minutes. Most
people prefer to cook them in their
skins and to scrape these off after the
potatoes are cooked.
Sweet potatoes may be served boiled.
