MOTORISTS TURN TO
ANTEFREEz|NG AGENT
Three Solutions That Have Prov
ed Satisfactory Are Alcohol,
GIycerin, and Cal. Chloride.

With the approach of cold weather
motorists arc beginning to think Of anti
freezing solutions for the radiators Of
their cars. For their benefit 1t may be
said there are three anti-freczing solu-
tions that have been used extensively
and which have proved satisfactory
They are alcohol, giycerin. and calcium
chloride.
There are many others that have a
low enough freezing point, but. are OBJ
jectionable because they evaporate
quickly, do not carry the heat away fast

system. leave a deposit In the radiator.
do not flow freely or are too expensive.
A solution of alcohol In water most
nearly fills the requirements Of perfect
antifreezing mixture. Either wood or
denatured alcohol may be used and can
be purchased at any drug store for
about go cents gallon. The advantages
of alcohol are that II ss very easily han
died and has no corrosive action on the
metal parts Of the cooling system.
Wood alcohol has a lower freezing
point than the denatured product, so a
weaker solution Is needed for any given
condition. but this advantage is more
than Offset, in most cases. because with
the former more is lost by evaporation.
due to its lower boiling point This
necessitates adding wood alcohol more
often than Is the case when denatured
Is used, in order to keep the solution
up to normal strength

In front of each box a spindle file

which are written notations concerning
the various adjustments. Suppose dif-
ficulty should arise in removing part;
the first question to enter ones nina

calls for a notation on slip or paper
and the exact location of all the parts
drawn if necessary.
In other words, the files are used Tor

Read the Laws Before
Storing Combustibles

Before storing gasolene or other COM
bustible liquid in underground tanks the
laws of the District regarding the stor-
age of such liquids should be read care
fully. In many cities it is necessary to
vent the tank so that vent pipe comes
within a certain distance of the roof of
the building. Some laws make it neces-
sary to have the tank located a given
distance from a house, and If this Is not
complied with certain rules regarding
venting must be adhered to.

BY far the most interesting pro-
ducton Of recent years, the dramatic
spectacle, "Everywoman," with
which the public has become familiar
through press dispatches and maga-
zinc articles, will be disclosed at The
Playhouse on Friday evening and Sat
'urday afternoon and evening, when
Henry w. Savage will offer his splen-
did performance which comes direct
from long engagements I'm the large
cities where II has scored strongly.
The play defies the ordinary classl-
ncation of the theatre. It Is not,
strictly speaking, opera, musical
comedy or drama, while partalKing of
many of the attractive features Of all
Of them. It was suggested to the au-
thor, the late Walter Browne, by the
ancient morality play, "Everyman, /"
which was performed throughout
America a few years ago by a band
of English players. There Is, how
ever, not the slightest similarity in
treatment, for "Everyman" was
gloomy and morbid, while EVERY
woman" is a delicious satire on the
frailties of the fair sex, carrying with
It a message that is universal. The
production as it stands represents an
expenditure of upward Of sixty
thousand dollars. Mr.. Savage has
declared that he considers EVERY
woman" the most important triumph
in his career as a producer. The mu-
sic, which is symphonic in character,
is interpreted by a special symphony
orchestra carried by the company.
over one hundred and fifty people
are employed in the production which
is the largest musical and dramatic

NEW EAST Side
PARK Seems sure
City Takes Option on POr-
tiOn OF Steel Company
Property
BRIDGE APPROACH
ON THE OLD PARK

An option has been secured by City
Council on the property of the Dia-
mond State Steel Company, located
on the north side of the Christiana
river. Council wants this property
as a playground TO take the place
of the Christiana Park, which Will be
destroyed by the approach to the new
Third street bridge.
Mr.. Driscoll, who is negotiating for
the purchase of the entire steel plant,
has given this option to the city in
case he is successful in acquiring
title to the plant He paid $4,000
for the north side parcel, and he is
willing TO sell it to the city at that
figure, he to raze all the buildings
now on it and remove the material,
machinery and other things now To-
Gated on the land.
The citys option is for 60 days,
and probably will have to be renewed
at the end of that time. There are
about two and One-quarter acres of
land in the parcel, and the property
is bound by Third street, Church
street, the Christiana river and the
property Of the Diamond Ice Com
pany. The city proposes In the event
it takes possession of the site to bor-
row the $4,000 necessary to pay for
it.
It is planned to change the course
of Third street upon the completion
Of the new bridge SO it will turn north
at Church street to connect with the
north approach of the bridge. This
Will throw the present bed Of Third
street into the proposed playground
and will make an ideal site for the
purposes for which it is intended
In addition it will give the city an
extended water front which in the
future may be Of great value to VIII
mington.
