When Autos Kill Poultry.

Considerable discussion ha- been
INDUCED in here lately in regard to
whether auto drivers are liable for
payment for poultry run over and
killed on the public roads, says the
Ryan Reporter. THE law in refer
ence to combining poultry is practic-
ally the same as for other domestic
animals. The owner must keep them
from trespassins upon his neighbors.
If he allows them to run at large on
the highway he cannot recover if they
are killed by automobiles and if al
lowed to run on adjoining land he
is liable for damage and trespass.

OFFER EVERY CHILD
A CHANCE, HE ASKS
Heredity Not Now Consider
ed Chief Factor, Explains
Prof. ]. NJ. Coulter.
SAYS IDEA CHANGES
Experiments With Plant Life
Cited by Lecturer to Sup
port His Theory.

while we should see to it that tn
inheritance is as favorable as possi
b,e we should also make certain tina
every child has stimulating environ
ment-in other words, an opportuni
ty." Thus Prof. John NJ. Coulter In
his lecture at the Physics Building
Thursday afternoon summarized the
results of recent scientific investiga-
tion of inheritance and response and
made the application to the problem
of eugenics. Professor Coulter is a
lecturer from the University of Chi
cago.
Professor Coulter gave first a his
tory of the opposing views OF SCI
entists concerning the Importance OF
the two factors. He offered the con-
clusion that science is no longer re-
garding heredity as an inevitable fate,
hut as a variable and flexible influ-
ence. with environment as the de-
termining force. BY environment he
meant. as he explained, both the COM
monty accepted concept and the new
one of internal conditions under which
the individual cell works.
In explanation Of his insistence
upon a change in the field Of investi-
CATION Professor Coulter said: Real
understanding of inheritance is possi-
BILE only by experimentation with the
lowest forms of life, particularly with
sexual forms. Certain things all
forms of reproduction have in COM
mon, but these should be kept apart
from the problem Of sexual reproduc-
ton"
Terminology the speaker stigma
tized as a way of avoiding the prob
lens which empirical methods could
not solve.
In support of his statements Pro-
fessor Coulter offered a review of
three series of experiments in the
plant world which have demonstrated
the importance of environment in
varying the fundamental character Of
inheritance. Variations, he said, arise
from differences in conditions, not
from inherent tendencies.
In these facts of plant genetics, pro-
jected also into the field Of eugenics,
Professor Coulter finds the new prob
lens of biological science.

The following suggestions are
offered for those who intend to lay
up their cars for the winter:
1. Drain the circulating sys-
tenn by opening the petcock under
the radiator. Then close the pet
cock and pour about a quart Of
alcohol in the radiator. This will
prevent freezing Of any water that
may remain in the cooling system
on account of sediment blocking
its course through the tubes.
2. Remove cylinder head and
clean carbon; also grind valves.
You will then obtain highest eff
cheney from the motor when it is
put in service in the spring.
8. The oil in the crank case
should be drawn of and the engine
and case washed with kerosene.
4. New oil should be put In and
the motor turned over several
times by hand, so that all the parts
may be covered by the fresh oil.
S. Drain OF all gasoline.
s. Thoroughly wash the car.
z. Block up the car so that the
wheels are of the ground. The
front wheel bearings should be
thoroughly cleaned with gasoline
and repacked with grease.
8. Remove castings from wheels,
wrap in dark paper and hang in .
cool. dry, well ventilated room. Ex-
pei air from inner tubes and fold
them carefully. Afterwards wrap
them and hang away with castings.
9. The top should be put up
but not stretched very tightly; also
an application of a good top dress
Ing will preserve the material be-
sides improving its appearances.
Cover as much as possible 80 -
to exclude dust that would other
wise collect during the winter
From The Ford Times.

ages for storage of furniture and re-
pair work in the house.

WinterDriUin9

While practically every automo-
bile owner who has driven a car
through the winter realizes the ne
cessity of using an inti-freezing So
luton. it is very possible that pre-
caution will not occur to some Of
the new drivers.
If the radiator is allowed to
freeze it will be severely damaged
and require expensive repairs. The
damage may not stop with a radi-
ator, and the cylinder casting and
head are likely to crack necessitat-
ing replacement with new parts.
Some owners have the impress
sion that by draining the radiator
they can avoid damages without u.s.
ing an anti-freezing solution This
is very unsafe, as sometimes the
tubes of the radiator become clog
ged with sediment so that all the
water does not drain OF. The re-
suits Of that condition are obvious.
Wood or denatured alcohol can
be used to very good advantage and
without harmful results to the
metals Of the radiator. The fol-
lowing table gives the freezing
points of solutions containing diff
ferent percentages Of alcohol:
20% solution freezes at Is de-
grees above zero.
30% solution freezes at & de-
grees below zero.
500 solution freezes at IL de.
grees below zero.
A solution composed of 60qs wa
ter. 1919 glycerine and 300 alco-
mol is very often used. its freezing
point being eight degrees below
zero.
As alcohol evaporates much more
readily than water it naturally fol-
lows that the solution will become
weak and ineffective usless fresh
alcohol is added frequently so as to
keep up the strength.

SOUTH TENTH Street PARK
SUGGESTED FOR BAND CONCERTS

Owing to the delay of the street
car company in making an appropria-
ton Of $3.50 for band concerts in Glen
Miller park, many residents of the
South side have been advocating the
holding of concerts in the South Tenth
street park this summer.
They argue that the South Tenth
street park is the most centrally To-
Gated park in the, city. It is surround
ed by heavy residential section, and
citizens would have no trouble to get
TO and from their homes.
By having concerts in this park, cit
liens would stay down town and would
not have far to go after the concerts
have been dismissed. The south sid
