The radiator Is something which Is
pose of providing plenty of work for
the local garage during the winter.
The mission of the radiator is to pre-
vent the engine from getting over
heated and burning a hole thru the
checkbook OF the owner. One of the
most expensive things which can hap
pen to new, dull gray touring car
with red wire wheels Is to drive 1t
without oil and water until 1t throws
Off sparks faster than a mammoth pin
wheel
In the winter the radiator requires
more watching and solicitous care
than sleep walker with the st. Vitus
dance. Water which Is placed in a
radiator when the thermometer has
sunk below the level Of the street will
freeze quicker than in any other spot
on earth. and at once produces a dead
~ and disconcerting leak. On being
taken to the garage it will be found
that the radiator has been ruined for
life, having developed acute appendi-
citis. improving laryngitis hardening OF
the arteries and shooting pains In the
small of the back. A radiator that has
ever leaked once can be induced to re-
peat on the slightest provocation and
is harder to keep full of water than a
Kelley graduate.
In winter the radiator should be
drained every time the car is allowed
to stand still for twenty minutes. Some
people prefer to feed wood alcohol to
the radiator and tour around the coun-
try enveloped in the fumes OF that

March, YOU are foolin' us with your

That under it's blanket of drtfted white
The delicate crocus is peepin' to light,
The pale arbutus has started to bud.
And the robin is feelin' LIES song in

Maybe you think You can stay the
sweet
That is waitin' to burst with the
daffodil.
That is watin' to pipe from the clover
hill,
That IS waitin' to run with the wind
o the sea
Up thru the valley and over the lea!
March. you are teasin' US with your
spell,
Don't you know that the fairies tell
Lots of secre:, and that they have told
Long ago--in spite Of the cold
That all you are dom is tryin' TO keep
The Catkns a little bi. longer asleep!
March you are foolin' us with your
snow,
Under it all there's that delicate glow
OF the jasmine's gold and the violet's
blue
And maybe tomorrow the spring'll
come true,
And off with a chuckle you'll cast the
cloak
That is part of your tooln' and part Of
your Joke!

the NEW ROAD BILL.

The Shortess-L Larson bill, new
road bill which is to be introduced in
the assembly will, according to the
advance reports Of it's provisions, re-
tain the highway commission very
much as it IS, accept federal aid and
match it with funds drawn from the
auto tax or from the road and bridge
tax but denying an increase in road
taxes if the fund thus provided should
prove insufficient to meet the federal
appropriation.
One important feature of the bill re-
peal the law under which county sd
pervtsors may issue bonds for road
work and prohibits issuance OF bonds
for such purposes except as concerns
work now under way, contracted for
or proposed before the law goes into
effect. Bridge bonds, however, may be
issued under vote at a special cleo
ton which IS TO be held on petition OF
10 per cent of the voters.
The bill, however, DISTINGUISHES all
voters in cities Of the first class. Only
those in villages and incorporated
towns outside Of those cities and the
jewellers on the farms may vote on
this bonding proposition. The report
on the bill does not state that the city
residents are barred from raising the
issue by petition however nor that
they are exempt from paying their
be voted. Some explanation seems nee
essary on this point that shall satisfy
be barred from voting on a PROPOSE
tiCn that carries taxation for public
improvements.
The logic OF permitting voters to de-
eide on whether road bonds may be
issued and denying them the same
privilege of deciding in the same man
ne: whether or not they desire to issue
bonds for other highway improvements
is not readily perceived. It seems to
say in effect to the legal voters wheth-
er they reside in cities or outside that
they have sense enough to decide
whether or not they shall spend theil
money for better bridges but lack the
judgment to vote on similar PROPOSE
tions to create other improvements.

STREET CAR PROBLEM.
INNn torlnn Gnnf.ia,.


People of Waterloo, more especial
ly the patrons of the line. are as a
whole not opposed to the one-man
street car system, as a system. so far
as investigations by this paper have
disclosed. What patrons object to is
the delayed service and the operation
of the one-man car system under con-
ditions, which officials of the line
themselves have stated do not admit
OF the best results. There are two
sides to the problem now before the
people of Waterloo. and the Courier
and Reporter believes the patrons Of
the road will discuss their differences
with the management in all fairness
and in a sincere desire to secure only
that which is fair and right for both
parties.
In this connection the sreport of the
mayor and members of the city coun-
Gil who investigated street car con-
ditions in other cities, where approx
mately similar conditions exist as in
Waterloo, will be found of value, we
believe. 1t may not be possible FOR
all to agree with the text and purport
OF the conclusions reached by members
Of the committee. but at least the COM
pilation has provided something tam
gible from which il ought to be pos
sible to work out a solution Of the
many difficulties of street traffic in
Waterloo.

pensive. and in a matter of this kind
is certain TO be delayed with its pos
sibilities of appeals, reversals. retrials
and other things. 1t is 10 be earn
estly hoped that the way has been pro-
vided for a settlement of this contro-
versy which. if continued, cannot have
other than deterrent effect upon the
expansion of the city.

wholly divorce the thought from our
minds that the new house Of repre-

explain the presidents hostility to an
