Used Electricity
To Prevent Freezing

One automobile owner recently de-
vised a means of passing an electric
current through the jacket water which
had been made saline, and thus gener-
ated enough heat to keep the water
from freezing. 1t is a question whether
this method is superior to the use OF a
good anti-freeze compound, as the cur
rent cost in the end may be greater
than the cost of the compound.

Cold Weather Calls
For Thin Lubricant

1t is customary In cold weather to
change the Iubricating oil Of the gearset
and differential. The heavier grade used
during the summer and fall. although
a good lubricant, is not as well suited
for winter work as thin oil. The cold
usually thickens the thin OIL, and,
should very heavy oil be used. the cold
may make it pasty almost.

These figures are conservative, when
me considers the number of cars that
nave been made and sold during the
Bst ten years, and the further fact
nat there are now more than loo, 900
ars in actual use, Of which $1,000 were
made last year, and 10000 the year be-
fOre. The cars during the past three

Il is interesting here 20 note that for
many years the annual production Of
5Uggies in this country was 1,1lo,00O,
with an average life Of three years, and
only last month, James Vrooman,
resident Of the Wood working and
MIN Owners Association, of Philadel-

made In. 1913 than eight years ago, and
this, in the face of increased motor-car

STRIKER P|NCHED,
May Be HELD
FOR BURGLARY

Tom Jones, striker, well known
from his close association with Tom
Thomas, husband OF one of the Lud-
low "heroines", was arrested again
this afternoon by Officer Waller and
lodged in the city jail. Jones was
pinchcd comm out of a house in
the Boulevard addition, which, it
was thought he had entered for the
purpose of burglary. The officer
who was called by neighbor. found
the striking Thomas about to pull off
something apparently.
Recently Jones and his old pal
Thomas were arrested for being
drunk. He has been picked up on
one charge or another regularly
since tho strike was called and now
that he is idle he has nothing to do
but think up mischief. Tommie has.
However. a strong drag" with the
district officers OF the union and af-
ter his sprces they always help him
out of the trouble.
Jones apparently knows this and
every time he gets In jail he sends
word to the organizers and down
they come hot foot to help "poor
Tom" out OF the jug. This after
noon the district will probably issue
a warrant charging the favorite son
with the crime OF burglary.
