AN OLD RECIPE FOR
MAKING SALT RAISING BREAD

A correspondent of the New York
sun gives the following recipe for the
making of salt raising bread, "the
real old-fashioned kind, nutty and
delicious:'
at noon, the day before baking.
take one-half eupful Of cornmeal and
pour over it enough sweet milk,
boiling hot, to make it the thickness
of batter cakes. Keep warm. The
next morning pour into a pitcher one
pint of boiling water, add one tea
spoonful Of soda and one of salt.
* hen cold enouoh so that it will not
scald the flour. aid enough to make
a stiff batter, then add the cup of
meal set the day before, full Of buh-
bles.
"Place the pitcher in a kettle Of
warm water, cover and keep warm,
When the batter rises 10 the top of
the pitcher pour into a bread pan,
ard add one and one half pints OF
warm water and flour enough to
kuead it into loaves. Knead but lit
tie harder than for biscuit dough and
bake a. soon as dough rises to the top
OF pans. This win make five large
loaves.'

MOTOR TRADE VAST
1 INDUSTRIAL FACTOR
Hundreds of Trades Benefit, and
Millions of Dollars Are Put
in Circulation.
Bv HARRY WARD.

'rhe general public has little concep-
ton of the enormous size and far-reach-
ing influence of the motor car Industry,
according to John n. Willys. president
of the WHY'S Overland Company. The
automobile industry, he claims, is not
only prosperine but Is employing more
men and doing a larger business than
at any previous time in its history:
with its allied lines says WHY'S,
"the manufacture of motor cars today
doubtless ranks second only to iron and
steel among this country's manufactur-
ing industries. Occupying this con-
spicious position It is doing much to
relieve the financial stringency broushI
about by the war by putting into circu-
lation large sums of money in all parts
of the country. -
Hundreds of Trades Benefit.
To-day Americans are spending more
money in automobiles than ever be-
fore. Every dollar used for the pur-
chase of a motor car means that hun
dreds of trades and arts are prohting
by the investment. The conversion OF
raw material into finished cars is
putting millions of dollars into the
pockets of machinists, foundrymen,
Irimmers, assemblers and other master
craftsmen, who, in turn, are hanuihs
this money over to grocers, butehers
and merchants. -.
During the third quarter OF thls
year the total business done by the
motor car factories alone is at rate
I'm excess of s4O0, 100000 per year, ana
an increase of IS per cent over the
same quarter of last year. This vast
sum represents just so much money
put into actual circulation.
Thousands Employed.
''The Willys-Overland Company, en-
loying $500 people, has just completed
The biggest months business in its his
tory. Shipments of cars during october
numbered 5.601, representing a money
value of s5.572 900 This is Is per cent
greater than shipments during the same
month of last year. which was the
largest october the company had ex-
perfenced up to that time"

MONOCRAMS ON CARS
ARE POPULAR NOW
Custom Soon Will Be General
Declare Automobile Dealers
in This. City.

Does your motor car carry your
monogram?
Inquiry among automobile dealers re-
veals the fact that the time is not far
distant when the custom OF having ones
monogram on the panels Of the machine
will be general.
Already. it seems. the monogram
panels are being almost as much the
rule as the exception. Aside from the
distinction which they convey, prac-
tical advantage of more easy ldentifi-
cation and protection is presented.
Dating back to the. age when court
Carriages bore coats of arms. the mono
gram idea is rapidly coming into It's
own.
So general is the demand that some
Studebaker dealers have found 1t wise
to establish a definite trade alliance
with decorators who, by their familiar
ity with this class Of work, are able to
monogram any car sold to a man who,
for a slight additional sum, cares to
add the letters to the panels or MS new

MOTORS NEEDT0 Be
PUT IN WINTER TRIM
Stitch in Time Will Save Nine
in Way of Spring Repair Bills
For Owner.

With the advent of fall and lower
ing temperatures, the owner-motortst
must give attention to properly prepar-
ing his car for the cold weather, par
ticularly if he expects to keep 1t in
commission through the entire winter.
Like the stitch in time that saves nine,
application of simple home remedies
now will save a heavy repair bill next
spring.
The use of anti-freezng solutions is
a primary consideration and it is inn
perative that this be taken in hand in
time, otherwise there may be damaged
cylinders for which the repair bill will
be many times the cost of the anti
freezing solution, says Motor Age.
AS to the best solution to use, that
depends upon Individual circumstances.
Certain companies recommend certain
mixtures as being best suited for their
cars. The owner can do nothing better
than follow these recommendations. Inc
up-to-date dealer will see to it that his
clientele is properly posted on such
In spite of the more general use OF
self-starters 1t still is necessary to give
some attention to the carburetor in or
der to get easier starting in winter
weather. Perhaps the starter Is cap
able of spinning the motor long enough
to get it started, but it is poor econ
omy to exhaust a battery In this way
because the winter season imposes the
hardest load on the battery. The bat
terry efficiency is not so high in the Win
ter as in the summer; there Is not the
same opportunity to keep 1t charged as
well: and the load of the lights is
greater in winter than in summer.
Because of these extreme conditions,
it is imperative that carburetor receive
as much if not more attention than
when Misunderstanding was resorted to-
The fact that the labor is now trans
ferred to the starting motor is no rea-
son why such an error should be made
! The owner should see to it that the
waterjacket is used, that the hot-air
| pipe is added if 1t will be an improve
! ment on his car, and further that a
starting valve in the carburetor or any
| other device is utilized to the fullest

Testing the Tire After
Filling It With Air

According to a tire man the motorist
should, after having finished blowing up
a tire. drop q film of moisture on the
valve outlet. II this moisture stays
there. obviously the valve is tight. but
IL it disappears there Is a leakage OF
air. In putting on the valve cap. after
1t has been screwed tight, loosen II
little and listen to hear Il there Is any
leak. II there Is. then the cap has
pushed the plunger down and the thing
to do Is to adjust the washer In the
cap so that 1t does not touch the plum

safety of all traffic. Thus it is that,
while motorists are willing enough to
assist in diminishing the use Of harsh
sounding signaling devices, in making
their own vehicles more and more
silent. and general: :u combating noise
in cities, they feel that it is not fair
that the whole blame for the increase
Of noise should b., laid at their door.
They maintain that if evidence were

Automatic Spark Advance
Should Be Inspected

Because of the serious results OF pos

motor is being cranked by hand. the
automatic spark advance mechanism
should always be kept in the best OF

Horn Still Needed
To Avert MiShapS
By MITCHELL MAY,
(Secretary of State of New York.

The automobile world is by no means insenslble to
the nuisance caused by noise nearly every motorst desires
that his car shall be as silent as possible and he is willing
Ito paw for silence as one of the chief merits in We-de-
signed car But as silence in increases it must be
obvious to anyone who thinks that the need for horns or
some other mode of signaling increases especially as the
pedestrian is becoming increasingly confident that ne can
not by any chance be run in these days of skul
drivers and efficient brakes.

Bad Piston Rings.

Excessive carbonization in one cylin-
der Of an automobile generally can be
traced to a bad set Of piston rings,
which allow too much oil to pass into
the combustion chamber. The install
latiou Of new rings is necessary in such
cases to remedy the trouble.

TAXES UNLOCKED FOR
 BALLOON ASCENSION

Miss Eva Sinclair, the popular aeronaut at the county fair, will have to get new hand to help infate her balloon today. One of her valued as- sistants, in the person of Bill Taylor, colored, has resigned. Bill called for his time immediately after he had made short but entirely unlocked for ascension himself yesterday after noon. Taylor was working inside the big balloon as it was being inflated, watching to keep the flames from reaching it's side As the balloon was cut loose for the ascension Taylor's legs became entangled in one of the ropes and he was carried up a dis tance of eight or 10 feet before the rope loosened and let him drop. The life of the aeronaut no longer appeals to Bill
