New Lens Creates
Stir in Auto Circles

The Maebeth-Eyan Glass company.
Of Pittsburg, one of the largest and old
est glassware mountaineering con
Germs IN the country, is now adding TO
ITS extensive line Of products a new
scientific motor ear headlight lens
which has already created a sensation
among the motor car manufacturers
who have seen it.
The lens is known as the Macbeth
Lens and II is the result of four years
Of experimental work in the laborator-
les OF the big Maebeth-Eyans institu-
| ton.
This new entry into motor car acces-
sorry circles is original in its eonstrue-
tion. One of its outstanding features
is an attractive green enameled glass
visor, built integral with the lens, by
which all upward rays of light are re-
directed down, thereby making good use
of otherwise wasted light.
The front surface of the lens is divid-
ed into five horizontal prisms. Each is
inclined ut an angle scientifically de-
termined so that the light is bent at
just the correct angle. The inner sec
tion OF the lens is made up Of concave
sections which spread the light lateral
ly, thus providing the side lighting es
sential for country drivino and For I,rn
ing corners.
The Macbeth Evans company has
turned all Of the Macbeth Lens advcr.
tising over to The Martin V. Kelly com
pany, of Toledo and New York Cjtv.
1t will be handled in the Toledo Of
flee.
AS soon as / was demonstration
of the lens, knew that it would fill
long felt want in the motor car trade. ;,
said Martin V. Kelly. alt is so far
ahead of anything Of its kind. which
I have seen, that its success is Ger.
tain. /"
For many years, the Macbeth Evans
company has been regarded as the lead
ing manufacturers of scientific lenses.
For example, thew are the only nro-
dueers in America Of coast lighthouse
lenses, in which each prism must be
ground to the thousandth mart of an
inch. They also turn out important
railroad signal glasses. in which infer.
iority would be fatal. and the marvellous
lenses for our battleship. are also pro.
duced in their plant.

Proper Lubrication
Essential for Auto

Most of the accessories ON modern cars
are so reliable that they are given little
concern by the driver, but occasionally
one will meet with an accident merely
because a certain part did not function
properly. Recently the owner of a med
ium priced car discovered that almost
every bearing in the engine was run
ming practically dry and if the noise
and lack of the ability of the engine
had not been Immediately noticed no
doubt much damage would have been
done. The oil guage on this particular
ear indicated that the proper amount
was being fed to the engine, but it was
discovered that the guage reading was
misleading 1t was necessary to go ov-
er the whole oiling system and it was
found that the guage indicator was
stuck in such a position as to always

farmers snowbound wife pays five
cent toll to talk with her sister in the
next township, than is an addition tx
the wealth of the nation; for the die
tionary correctly defines wealth a:
"Weal, well-being, prosperity; happi
ness. -
You can go a step farther back and
say: "The United States spends over
three billion dollars year on railroad
transportation, an item of expenditure
undreamed of by our great -grandfath-
ers. Why not scrap the railroad plant
and save all that money!"

larges his range of communication; in

country especially, where other means
of transit are slow and in frequent, the

And, especially for country folk, no

Horses for Europe
Trucks Take Places

A dispatch dated Washington, D. c.,
states that "the government is in the
market for 250,000 horses and mules
for army use. This quarter of mil
lion horses is probably only an initial
requirement, and if the war is prolong-
ed for two or three years, which seems
to be the general estimate, additional
quantities are likely to be required
which will tend to make horses both
scarce and increasingly expensive.
Many concerns now employing horses
will replace them with motor vehicles
and will find that the. handling of their
transportation is infinitely more salts
factory and more economical thereby.

Gators In the Sunshine.

Up at the local drug store there are
two fat and happy little alligators,
known to the loss around that estab-
lishment (Mr. w. l. Gayle) as Mutt
and jeff. They are at present only
about ten and fourteen inches in length
and their home is in IL big candy buck
ct, in which Is a little water and a
brick. They are good gators in their
way, and have served somewhat as an
advertisement for Mr.. Gayle's store.
They attract most attention during the
forenoon. when the bucket is placed
cut in the sunshine OH the porch so
that they may have their sun bath, as
when in their native element.
Alligators are good sleepers, and es-
pecially during the winter months.
Life for them then is just one long 81
esta until the warm days of spring
come. The larger of these two pets
has already quit eating. which merely
indicates that he is ready to go into
winter retirement Mr.. Gayle stated
this week that he would soon wrap
them up and pack them away in straw,
must after the fashion of packing
crcckery. etc. They will then he ready
for the big SLEEP. So if you little folks
have not vet seen this Mutt and jeff
you had better hurry around to the

Kill Chickens the Day Before.

Surprise is being expressed over the
statement that poultry should not lie
eaten the same day it is killed. The
internal temperature of a chicken is
neanearly 1O7 degrees, and when the
chicken is killed and eaten i'll Il few
hours it is impossible for the animal
heat or chicken odor' to- escape.
Kill. cock and eat Il chicken as soon
us possible. and the neat will smell
of the lanyard 1t is not fit for
human consumption.
Chickens should be killed at night );
hung in well ventilated place until
morning, then dipped in hct water to
remove the feathers. and cleaned and
drawn just before they are. placed in
the stove. 1t is preferable to ''starve"
the chicken before killing, but this is
not necessary when the chickens are
killed at night ana eaten the next day.
If they are starved and there is no
food in the crop or inteStineS they
will keep for two or three days if they
are net opened.
killing a chicken the night before
eating makes the meat tender. 1t
allows the chicken odor" to leave the
carcass. and it improves the quality
and flavor of the flesh. The best fed
