forward, and the passion that had
been suppressed in her voice till now,
leaped up into flame-"and yet, can
you tell me what 1 could have done
differently? I've lived the kind of life

Look at me-" said Rose. The
words rang like a command upon a
battlefield.
Portla looked. Roses blue eyes
were blazing. II won't do that" she
said very quietly. 81 promise you
that" Then the hard determination
in her face changed to something soft
er. and as if Portals resistance count
ed no more than that of a child, she
pulled her sister up In her arms and
held her tight. And so, at last, Portia
got the relief of tears.

UNNECESSARY WEAR ON TIRES
Same Results Obtained by Gentle
Though Firm Application Of
Brakes In Stopping.

The sudden application Of autOmO-
bile brakes and the consequent slid
ing of the wheels cause those worn
spots on the thread Of the tires which
result in their being discarded long be-
fore they are really worn out. If the
brakes are applied firmly but gently
the car will be stopped as quickly, but
without the disastrous result on the
rear wheels which comes from JAM
ming on the brakes. It would also pre-
vent the locking Of the rear wheels,
which causes the wheels to slide.
When the car is at a dead stop there
Is, of course, no wear on the tires, rs
there is no motion to produce external
friction, the tire being in perfect con-
tact with the road. If the car is start
ed gently and slowly and nursed up
to the proper speed the tire retains as
nearly as possible the perfect contact
with the road. Friction is held at a
minimum and wear unnoticed.

Analysing Waters.

Mineral waters are easily analysed
by means of the ~spectroscope, as
shown by NJ. Jacques Bardet, and this
is likely to prove one of the best meth
DDS for this work. He sends a beam
of light through the water to be an
alyzed and thence through the spec
trOscope prism, in order to permit of
examining the spectrum, this method
revealing very minute traces of met
ais. He finds the most varied metals
in different samples of mineral water,
and even the rarest metals, such as
germanium and gallium, which are
very rarely found in nature.

POrtia. But l couldn't help making a

Owing to the large number of sea-
planes employed by the entente naval
fOrcesin the present war, especially in
the waters of the near East, the Brit.
ish and French aircraft designers
have developed a special type Of n.y.

notes the Scientific American. This
feature results in a great saving Of
space on board a warship or special
mother ship when a large number Of
seaplanes are carried. The wings are
hinged to the fuselage so that they can
be swung back when the craft is to be
stored away, yet the seaplane can be
made ready and equipped for sustained
service in the space of a few minutes

IN SUMMER
Its Dress, Like Mans, Should be
Changed From Winter.
HEAVY LUBRICANT IS NEEDED
Radiator Should Be Thoroughly
Cleaned, Motor overhauled and
Grease Cups RefiIIed-Polish
Up Top and Upholstery.

Warm-weather driving imposes a diff
ferent set of conditions on the car
than those which exist in winter. In
the same way as a man would not go
about the streets dressed in the SAINT
attire in June as he wears in January,
the car should not be expected to per-
form with the equipment of winter in
the summer time.
The change in conditions affects ev-
cry part of the car, from the radiator
back to the rear axle. 1t affects the
radiator, because, in all probability, a
%nonfreezing solution has been used
during the winter, and after the dam
ger of freezing weather has gone by
this should all be drained out.
The cooling system should then be
flushed out with a solution of washing
soda and boiling water.
The way this is done is to first drain
the radiator, then run through a COM
plete filling of boiling plain water.
after which this is also drained and
the cooling system filled with the soda
solution. About two heaping handfuls
of soda to a bucket of boiling water is
sufficient In the cooling system. This
not only takes the scale from the radi-
atOr, but also cleans out any last
traces Of the solution.
Change Oil in the Motor.
In the motor the most important
thing to be done is to change the oil.
This is done by removing the drains
at the bottom of the crank case and
allowing all the oil to run out, after
which the oil reservoir is flushed out
in the same way that tho radiator was
cleaned, only in this case instead of
using a soda solution, kerosene oil is
employed.
While the motor is being looked over
It would not be a bad thing to read
just the tappets so that the clearances
are at about the thickness of an Ordl-
nary business card, and also to clean
the spark plugs. The plugs can be
cleaned by allowing them to soak in
kerosene and then scrape the carbon
with a pocket knife or some other me-
tallic object.
The wiring of the ignition system
should also be gone over, as sometimes
1t will be found to have been chafed
at points where the insulation Is in
contact with the metal, in which case
1t Is very liable to have worn of. Be-
fore the hood Is again closed down the
little bolts holding the various attach
ments on the motor should be gone
over. These will be found at the
flange Of the carbureter around the
cylinder head and on various brackets
and supports, depending on the make
Of engine which is being looked over.
Coming back to the clutch and gear
box, the clutch member will probably
not require any attention. If you have
a multiple disk design of the metal-to-
metal variety, it would not be a bad
idea, however. to flush this out also
with kerosene and remove the lubri-
can't.
Use a Heavier Lubricant.
The consistency of lubricant in all
these parts should be somewhat heav-
Ter in summer than it is in winter.
The warmer weather will render the
heavy lubricants less vicious In sum-
mer thar the are in winter. As n gem

ID. & r. G. RAISES SALARIES

Beginning April 1, 1917, sub
stantial increase in salaries of en-
ployes was authorized by the man
agement.
This increase applies to all en-
ployes on the payroll of the D. 4 X,
G. and R. G. S. Railroads who had
been in the service for one year or
more, at salary of $3.50 or less per
month-not working under a sched-
ule contract, and who had not re-
ceived an increase within the preVl-
Gus twelve months.
The larger part of this increase IN
salaries will be expended in the COM
munities served by the Denver & Rio

and will be a factor in the prosperity
and development of the states OF
