TRY ANOTHER WAY.

Dear MISS CarOtherS.
/ read somewhere that kisses often
led to marriage. What do you think
of that method of teaching a man to
love you? Do you think it should be
practiced by people who are not en-
gaged.-D. r.
The method might be all right if
practiced only on one man, but once
started you may experiment with so
many admirers trying to find the right
one, that kiss will mean less than
a handshake among genuine friends.

Talks With Lovers
Kitty Carothers Gives Advice Young Persons and An
swers Inquiries About Affairs Of Heart
Just recently young man was o.
erheard to remark:

Just recently young man was ov-
erheard to remark:
well. If we don't get along afte'
we are married, we can get divorce
easy enough" He Is engaged to DC
married and said this about his future
wife with as much feeling as if he
had been saying that he didn't like a
certain make of automobile, and in
tended to trade it for another.
With that attitude the young couple
will fnd it exceedingly hard to get
along. They are entering married
life, or one of them is, with the feeling
that it is not a sacred trust and re
sponsibility, but that it is an affair of
trivial Importance to be shed like an
old coat If it grows distateful.
That couple should never get mar
ried. Their case will end in the di-
vorce court, unless the young man
assumes different view.

in common. your marriage will not be
happy one. A better test is to see
whether you have mutual interests in
books, music, daily occurances and
friends. When you do meet the right
man every kiss you have ever given

On the North Pole Exchange.

Hello Central, give me Santa
Number? Just North Pole;
Just connect me with his palace,
And-you might reverse the toll;
For I'd like to talk with Santa,
And ask him why last year
He passed right by our chimney
v it'll his team of swift reindeer,
When I wrote him a nice letter,
Telling him my hearts desire
But guess this methods quicker
Can't you get him on the wire?
Yes, wrote and asked old Santa
For some coal and things to eat,
And a warmer dress for mamma,
And some shoes for baby's feet,
And asked him, for my papa,
For the job he needed so,
And doll for mel never
Really owned a doll, you know.
But I'll tell you-if this Christmas
Santa fails to come around,
Why our hearts will be just broken
And we'll all of us be found
Hungry and sad and lonesome
There's so little we desire
Hello, Central! Give me Santa
Can't you get him on the wire?

The CarburetOr.

The carburetor is small, malig-
nant attachment to an automobile
which is used for demonstration pur-
poses, after which it is removed and
replaced by a suffering imitation of
milk strainer.
The purpose of the carburetor is to
take a swallow of WateriZed gas0-
lien and pure, fresh air and mix
them together in equal parts. A good
carburetor will do this without get
ting red in the face. When the mix
ture is ready for use it is sprayed
into the cylinders through the front
teeth of the carburetor, which then
reaches back into the gasoline tank
and takes another swallow. Once in
while the carburetOr will swallow
too much and choke, causing the en-
CINE to miss several important i'm
pulses and imparting an undulating
motion to the car, like riding in an
elevator with the St. Vitus dance.
The carburetor always comes from
the factory adjusted to meet any eli
mate that it happens to run into.
Notwithstanding this fact, which is
plainly printed in short crisp Ian
guage on a red card tied around it's
ucCh, lllc III 81 IulAS tAC AC" o"AiSA
wants to do is to adjust it to the
temperature of the country in which
he lives. By the time an inexperi-
enced but earnest citizen has adjust
ed a new needle valve carburetor so
that it will carb without flooding the
drip pan and the garage floor, he will
be ready to crawl onto the sofa and
take a we'll earned rest. If carbu-
rotor manufacturers could persuade
inquisitive owners to keep profane
hands off their product long enough
to ascertain whether the trouble is in
the clutch or the spark plugs, there
would be fewer highpriced service
men in the mad house.
The carburetor is summer device
and works at it's best when the Their
mometer is at the melting point.
Along in the fall most carburetors
contract severe cold in. the head,
and have to be put on diet of 25c
gasoline, which is not more than 80
per cent water. This is termed a
rich mixture, because nobody who is
not rated in six figures can afford to
use it. Some carburetors have to
be fed hot air in large quantities, and
thrive upon it as well as a candidate
for congress who is about to distri-
butte few postoffices. The life Of
the carburetor is usually longer than
that of the man who tries to hurdle

PREVENTS FREEZING.
Is Cheap and Its Use May Prevent
Expensive Winter Freeze
Up in Auto.

Alcohol solution is one of the
cheapest and best anti-freeze mix
lures for winter use in the auto, says
the engineering extension depart
ment at Iowa State College, and its
use may prevent an expensive winter
freeze up in the engine.
The proper mixture, which varies
with the temperature, is given in the
following table:
10 per cent for 25 degrees above
20 per cent for 6 degrees above
80 per cent for zero
35 per cent for 10 degrees below
40 per cent for 20 degrees below
so per cent for IS degrees below
60 per cent for As degrees below
In case mixture containing over
20 per cent alcohol freezes, it sim
ply forms a soft mush that has no
bursting power. In this case, the
water pump may be thawed out by
pouring hot water over it. The radi-
ator should be blanketed until it has
thawed.
Glycerine with water is also a good
anti-freeze mixture, and it does not
evaporate as alcohol does.
Specially prepared anti-freeze mix
lures may be efficient, but are likely
to contain chloride of lime and other
chemicals Injurious to some metals,
particularly aluminium. To test such
a preparation, dip clean nail in the
solution, and then insert in a flame.
A brick red color indicates the pres
ence of chloride of lime. A yellow
color indicates that salt or soda,
which might also be Objectionable,
are present.

He united with the Christian

Our fathers death is but the ripened

Mabel, the second daughter of Ed

Jan. IA, 1893, and died Dec. IA,
1915, aged 20 years and / months.
Her entire life was spent in Gar
den Grove and the whole community
nourns her loss.
@ She graduated from the Garden
Grove High School in 1912 with hon
ors.
In the fall of 1913 she began
teaching school and at the time she
was taken sick she was teaching her
thlrd year at the same place.
Her work in the school room was
always done in conscientious man
1er and executed with perfect kind
ness and highest consideration.
She will be sadly missed in the
home where she loved to be, going
through extreme weather from her
School in order to be there. She had
the spirit of self denial and of for
going personal advantages for the
sake of favoring her loved ones, be-
,iug more careful to favor others than
herself, but her ambition proved to
be greater than her strength.
She gave her heart to God in July
1915, and united with the Church or
Christ
She leaves behind father, moth

A Christmas Carol

BY CHRISTINA G. ROSSETTl
10, newborn Jesus,
Soft and weak and small,
Wrapped in baby's bands
By his mothers hands,
Lord God Of ALL
Lord God Of Mary,
Whom his lips caress
While he rocks to rest
On her milky breast
In helplessness.
Lord God of shepherds
Flocking through the cold,
Flocking through the dark
To the only ark,
The only fold.
LORD GOD OF all Things,
Be they near or far,
Be they high or low,
Lord of storm and snow,
Angel and star.
Lord God of all mon,
My Lord and my God,
Thou who lowest me,
Keep me close to thee
By staff and rod.
10, newborn Jesus,
Loving great and small.
Loves free sacrifice,
Opening arms and eyes
To one and ALL
