Not All Polishes
Hurtful, Says
Maker
To the Automobile Editor of The

To the Automobile Editor of The
Tribune
Sir: Last Sunday, when l picked up
my Tribune, l was surprised to read
your automobile page and analyze the
article on body polishcs. Being manu-
facturer of body polish, l was surprised
to think you would publish an article
which covered all body polishes, good,
had and Indifferent, under one head.
There are to my knowledge eight diff
ferent makes of polish which are ad-
vantageous and prolong the life OF a
varnlshed surface; there also are many
which neither affect the finish one way
or another, while many are decidedly
injurious. These polishes must not be
treated as a class, but in three classes,
to do justice to everybody.
A good body polish must perform
seven distinct duties. viz, clean, bur-
nish, set hard, cvaporate dry, leave a
surface coating over the varnish. not
condense moisture nor magnify heat,
but radiatc same. This type of polish
cannot be of light gravity, but about
as heavy as a cylinder oil. 1t is made
Of rapeseed oil. pine oil, neutral light
oil and high grade wakes, such as bees,
caranauba. ceracinc or montan. A polish
of this type is very beneficial to varnish
and will not in any way injure it,
The average "spray it on" type is the
really. injurious polish, not because it
should be. but because of the competi-
ton INDUCED in by manufacturers of
TINS type OF polish The base is gem
erally kerosene oil or coal tar residue
This will comprise at least one-half of
the LIQUID, the remainder being COM
posed of other neutral oils and fire.
quently turpsene; there is generally no
"; wax CT any type used in these polishes
lhey operate on the principle of "clean
your car with kerosene" at 81 per gal
Ion. Kerosene and turpsene will dis
solve varnish, penetrate through the
cracks and cause discolorations in y
short time. This does not apply to all
sprayed pollshes. as there are several
good ones, but the poor ones prevail.
DO you not agree with nc that Won,
paper should inform the public Of the
SITUATION as it really is? Give the devil
hls Que and the conscientious mann.

Recent Investigations develop that the
average motor truck operates at about
50 per cent efficiency. That is to saw.
that large number of motor trucks
are not loaded to their full CAPACITY.
and most Of them are running entirely
empty one way. When it is considered
that there are approximately 435,OOO
motor trucks operating in the United
states. each having an average load
capacity OF two and a half tons, the
loss in efficiency of G5 per cent is as
founding.
Assuming that each truck makes an
average of four trips day for 800
working days year, the motor trucks
now in service, if operated at 25 per
cent higher efficiency than at present
and carrying load in one direction.
would show gain a year of 780 tons
a truck or 339, 1000 tons per annum
or the entire fleet Of 435, 900 trucks.
Now, If it could be arranged that
tEese trucks instead Of carrying load
n one direction only would carry loads
ir both directions, this annual cain
would be 678,600, 900 tons. The magni-
tUdc of this extra tonnage can best be
appreciated by comparison. 1t is
est mated by good authority that the
total tonnage handled through the
Great Lakes during 1917 was 100, 1000 900

SUBMARINES ACT AS
 WEATHER OBSERVERS

LONDON, April 9.-How do the Germans obtain the accurate knowl- edge, which they are known to possess, of weather conditions in England? is often asked here This knowledge is essential for them in their air raids, and captured documents show that their meteorological reports are fairly complete, despite the fact that no publication of weather data or fore casts is permitted in English news papers.
 An English meteorological expert declares that the answer to the ques- tion is not through any system of spies and land wireless, but that the data is derived from observations taken by submarines.
 The important point for the Ger mans, he says, is to know the weather conditions off the northwest coast of Ireland and he thinks that sub marine working at that place is de, tailed to send weather reports to Ger many by relays through the wireless apparatus working around the British Isles

DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL
Liquor Laws Passed Upon By the
Supreme Court


The supreme courtof Tennessee,
in an opinion handed down last
Tuesday, declared the 'bone-dry
law, , passed at the last session of
the legislature, constitutional. The
cases were sent up from Upton
county and in them the validity and
constitutionality of the law had
been attacked.
The supreme court upheld the
statute, which was enacted in 1917,
and which prohibits all movements
of Intoxicating liquor in this state.
As construed by the court the act
prohibits the transportation Of
liquor within the boundary of the
state, regardless of the source of
liquor and without regard to the
purpose for which the liquor is
transported.
1t was held that the statute
makes it unlawful to remove
liquor from one place to another,
even in the same town or village,
as from-the railroad to a mans
house. The act is also construed
to make it unlawful for one to re-
ceive intoxicating liquors from an
individual who has carried it from
one place to another as well as
from a common carrier.
