Economy
Further Extended
By Motor Engineers

Rapid evaporation is the one Sc
rious drawback 10 the use of alcohol
as anu-freeze in the radiators of
motor cars In view of present
prices of alcohol, this is a serious
drawback. but Cadillac engineers
have overcome it with a device that
is simplicity itself and which has
demonstrated the utmost efficiency.
This device prevents evaporation by
gathering the vapOr which rises
from the warm alcohol and water
in the radiator reducing it TO liquid
form and returning it TO the radia-
tor.
The condenser by which this is
accomplished is protected by patent
rights. 1t is exceedingly simple and
entirely automatic in action, requir-
ing no attention from the operator
1t consists of a small tank under
the front floor, connected by tubing
10 the overflow pipe which runs
from the upper part of the radiator.
The tank is kept half full of the
same liquid as in the cooling sys-
tenn. Alcohol vapor passes through
the tube and the condenser. In
bubbling through the cool liquid
the vapor is condensed to liquid
form,
As the liquid in the radiator cools
and contracts when the engine is
shut off a partial vacuum is formed
in the upper part of the radiator,
and atmospheric pressure on the
liquid in the condenser forces the
surplus back into the radiator.
While primarily devised for re
claiming alcohol, it is valuable in
warm weather i'm that it is very
rarely necessary to add water 10 the
radiator.

lar In many instances firms have
entirely standardized their delivery
system with Republics which offer
complete variety of capacities
from one TO five-tOn trucks.
THE wide popularity that the Re
pubic trucks have SO quickly gain
ed is due largely TO the combina-
ton of strength and simplicity of
ali models
1T has been figured that about
so percent of the cost of maintain
ing trucks goes into labor; and the
ready accessibility and comparative
freedom by the economy of parts,
due 10 Republic design, has been an
unusual feature i'm cutting down eX-
cess labor cost in the unkeep OF Re
public trucks.
Another strong feature Of Re
public trucks is that they offer such
wide variety of capacities at un-
usually moderate costs for the quail
ity Of service rendered. that many
of our users have found it economi-
cal and feasible 10 extend their lines
of delivery and increase their radius
of business thereby"

When john Wilkinson built his
original Franklin car. the dominant
principles were exactly the same as
they are today. The whole history
of Franklin Development reveals how
thoroughly Mr.. wilkinson was inn
bued with the belief that a light
weight car would best fll the ulti-
mate need. while at this same time
other prominent desisuers took the
directly opposite view. believing
that strength and endurance and fn-

The War Service Bureau
BY Melvin Stevens

admitted 10 Plattsburg early in the
summer. where Is hours a day of
drill and study kept his mind busy
and his body strong.
In the course Of three months he
was graduated with a captains COM
mission and was assigned to Camp
Dix. y. J. Then il was that he heard
about the War Service of Glenwood
college. The bureau was establish
ed by a classmate Of his who was
unable 10 fight because of physical
defects and who had decided 10 de
vote his time TO the Glenwood men
who had entered the service of the
nation. Every week he sent a let
ter 10 the alumni and students of
the college i'm the camps. telling
them of the campus meetings. the
football games. and all other gos-
sip. He offered to answer all
questions about Glenwood men in
service, sent sweaters and socks
which the ladies of the faculty
knitted. and did a hundred and one
things 10 make easier the days of
those who had answered the ma
tons call The avowed purpose of
the bureau was 10 keep Glenwood
men in touch with GlenwOOd and
with one another.
Dud enjoyed the letters immense

when he happened TO be i'm the col

Ii was late spring in the noun
tains, and Dud Embury was gazing
questioningIy into the clear blue
eyes of Doris Baldwin. Somebody
or other has told us all about a
young mans thoughts in the spring
time. so it seems hardly necessary
TO mention the fact that Dud was
wondering whether or not he dared
10 tell Doris how much he cared
for her. They hadn't known each
other very long; only for two weeks.
TO be exact. but both were graduates
of the same college. which makes
all the difference in the world.
It's just as if we had known
each other for four years" the man
explained. so ] want YOU to treat
me as one of your oldest friends "
That had been two weeks ago.
when Dud had arrived at the Smith
farmhouse fo- "a brief rest from
business worries. 1t was just a coin
cidence that Doris Happened 20 be
the village school teacher. but the
new arrival considered il about the
luckiest thing that ever happend to
him. For Doris's eyes were like the
october sky ON a cIoudless day, and
her lips matched the petals of a
crimson rose. She had only been out
OF college a year
Their two weeks together had
flown on enchanted wings. and the
time had finally come when it was
necessary for bud to go bacd TO the
city again. So he looked into the
depths of the girls eyes and became
suddenly brave
Il love YOU" he said.
He had always thought that when
he sopke those words. the girl 20
whom they were directed would
open her arms and smile at him.
But Doris did no such thing In
stead she dropped her, eyes and
traced an aimless pattern on the
floor of the porch. The man could
not see that her heart was Wild with
the joy OF his confession, that her
whole beins quivereI for the touch
of him. He only knew that she did
not come 10 him at once: and be-
cause his knowledse of girls was
limited he imasined that she did
not care.
So. very quietly. he turned away
from her and hurried upstairs 10 his
room ON such Observation-Disclosures
