WILL PUSH ACTION ON
INTERBORO PARKWAY
Queens Chamber of Commerce
Urges Haste i'm Making Road.

At q recent meeting of the board OF
directors OF the Chamber OF COM
mercs of the Borough of Queens
special committee composed OF Robert
W. Higbie, John Adikes and NJ. j.
Deenon was appointed 70 hasten the
construction of the "lnterborougn
PARKWAY" which will connect Eastern
Parkway. in Brooklyn. with Forest
Parkway. in Queens. The completion
of this important highway improve
mont will be of immense beneht TO
both the boroughs OF Brooklyn and
Queens.
c. G. VI. Thomas, president OF the
Queens Chamber of Commerce, has
pointed out to the Board of Estimate
the long delay that has already occurred
and has urged immediate action
in this matter, which, he says, VIII
benefit hundreds of thousands OF auto
mobilists who travel between the
boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. In
his letter to the members of the Board
of Estimate Mr.. Thomas said:
at is now fifteen years since the
project was inaugurated for the con-
struction of roadway connecting
Eastern Parkway, in Brooklyn, with
Forest Parkway, in Queens, through
Cypress Hills and Mount Carmel
cemeteries. 1t is now nearly two years
since the Board of Estimate adopted
an amended Typographical map, with
the 100 feet wide lnterborough Park
way shown thereon. but nothing has
been done to authorize the construc-
ton of this proposed parkway.
"The tremendous development OF
motoring in the past five years makes
the highway imperative not only for
Brooklyn and Queens, but for the rest
Of the city as well. The hills along
the borough boundary lines. crested
with impossible cemeteries, have been
barriers to the social and commercial
intercourse of the two boroughs, too

sistent care is an absolutely sure way
of eliminating their evil work.
When filling the tank. for example,
make a practice Of wiping clean the re-
gion of the opening before removing
the cap. as this is generally covered
with dirt and dust. Never fill the tank
without using a stralner and II you
have no strainer or chamois, use a SILK
pocket handkerchief. if you have one,
for il makes an excellent filter
Incidentally. when you want TO know
the amount of "gas" in your tank and
have no gauge, do not use dirty SUCK
as your measuring gauge; many man
unconsciously does so after taking the
most elaborate precautions TO eliminate
particles not one fraction as large as
those he afterward introduces whole
sale without realizing IT.
Replacing Fuel Leads.
Sometimes the fuel pipe breaks, and
the cause is generally vibration. The
first thing TO do is TO fit in new
length and see that the pipe is properly
supported; for this purpose, follow the
channel side member OF the man
frame; the pipe can be we'll supported
and excellently protected there.
Even when the gasolene is Uttered at
the tank there should always be a inter
in the supply pipe also, and preferably
IL should be situated near the carbu-
rotor. for then it is in very accessible
position. II your car is not already pro-
tided with one, such an accessory
should be obtained without delay; If IT
is already there, remember that IT
needs cleaning out occasionally IL
your gasolene pipe breaks at the union
near the carburetor, procure longer
length of pipe and coil the extremity
in a loop so as to make the attachment
less rigid.
Ignition Difficulties.
Ignition troubles, at one time. were
supposed to be the cause of every all
ment 10 which an engine was heir, but
since the general adoption of the more
perfected ignition systems the frlne
arrangements have so much improved
that even an expert thinks twice be
fore blaming the spark, even though
he NAV feel that there is something at
fault in the circuit. Nevertheless. the
ignition system Of most of the modern
electrically equipped cars is rather del
icate, Notwithstanding that 1t does won
derful work, and if anything does &c
wrong with il, il is scarcely within the
province of the amateur TO set 1t rlght
For this reason the motorist in outiy-
ing districts, far away from the con-
venience of local repair shop, would
be well prepared TO have on hand SUI
1cient spares for his car. including a
set of dry batteries. and 20 find some
quiet corner under the seat where they
can be stored away in wrappings

1t is a good idea to buy an extra
yard or so of the material selected for
tailored suit, in order that the coat
or skirt, or both, may be altered and
the suit remodeled. Good fabrics out
last styles, and a suit is often regret
fully consigned to the discard, not be-
cause it is worn but because styles
have changed since it was made.
A suit that is required to do more
than one seasons service without any
alteration should be conservative in
style. A plain skirt of medium full.
ness, and box coat or one of the
plain, semifitted models, if we'll made
of good material and fine finish, is
never out of the running.
A good model to follow in remaking
a suit is shown in the picture given
here. The skirt is made with an in
verified panel set in at the back and
front, and narrow skirt may be wild
ened by the addition of such panels
Another good plan for widening a mar
row skirt is to split it up at each side

TO MAKE A HAPPY NEW YEAR
Recipe That Is Guaranteed to Produce
Joyous Tweive-Month for Those
Who Follow Directions.

Take twelve fine, fullgrowu months,
see that these are thoroughly free
from old memories of bitterness, ran
cor, hate and jealousy; cleanse them
completely from every clinging spite;
pick off all specks of pettiness and lit
tleness; in short. see that these
months are free from all the past
have them as fresh and clean as when
they first came from the great store
house of Time.
Cut these months into thirty or thir-
ty-one equal parts. This batch will
keep for just one year. Do not at
tempt to make up the whole batch
at one time ESQ many persons spoil
the entire lot in this way), but pre-
pare one day at time, as follows:
Into each day put twelve parts of
faith, eleven of patience, ten of cour'
