AMERICANS IN ACTION

Philadelphia Public Ledger: All
the correspondence from the battle
front on the Marine is to one effect,
and that is, that the American troops
who have been in action since June
l have acquitted themselves glorious
ly and have more than warranted the
good opinions which their French and
English associates already had OF
them. Fearlessness in the face OF the
known dangers, intrepidity in their
forward movements, a resourceful-
ness in their holding the bridges of
the Marine intrusted to them, all GER
tilted to form various angles, prove in
deed that they are in action with a
vengeance. Not only is this true or
the troops in the mass, whose uniden-
titled heroism is so heartening a thing
ual acts of bravery such as that Of
Flannery, Of Pittsburg, who swan the
river with a wounded Frenchman, are
of a character hat makes us prouder
of our men and of their valor under
conditions of appalling danger. With
all this, the description of the sing
ing companies, marching through the
French villages chanting the Waiter
sonian refrain Of the ever popular
camp song over here, Uncle Sam He's
Got the Infantry, He's Got the Artil-
lery, to He'll with Kaiser Bill re-
veals a spirit that may well make the
Germans hesitate to put in their off,
cial bulletins the fact that 1.-The en-
envy they mention are American
troops" The British and the French
are clear minded as to what all this
means, and if, as the correspondents
now confidently assume, the American
reinforcements have helped in part
to stem the German drive at the
Marine, the character of this support
cannot be overestimated from a mill
tary point of view. That it's effect
OF the morale of the French people
is electric can well be believed.

CARE FOR STORAGE BATTERY
During Winter Season 1t Should Be
Kept Fully Charged to Stand
Low Temperature.

The storage battery should be kept
fully charged during the winter, ac-
cording to +. V. Collins, instructor in
steam and gas engineering in the agri-
cultural college.
1.-THE charged battery" said Mr.. Col
Inns, will stand very low temperatures
while "A discharged battery will freeze
burst jars, and as a result the battery
must be rebuilt.
"In cold weather the starting battery
is especially likely to become dis
charged. The engine is difficult to
crank because the oil is cold. 1t must
also be cranked longer each time it is
started because the gasoline does not
vaporize readily in cold weather. Long
trips are few and the charging periods
are shorter. The lights which are
needed earlier in the evening help In
discharging the battery.
"The battery should be tested with
a %hydrometer at intervals of two
weeks or less. If 1t is found to be dis
charged. it should be charged as soon
as possible either by driving the car
or from an outside source.
"Tha conditions under which cars
operate vary, and there are so many
starting systems, that no set rules can
be given for the care Of the storage
battery. If the starter turns the en-
CINE with difficulty, the motor should
be cranked by hand when starting on
a cold morning. The engine may be
made to start more easily by printing
1t through the printing cups or by pull
lights should be turned on only when
necessary and In many cases the dim
mers may be used to say the current"

TERRIFIC STRAIN
PLACED ON TIRES
Many People Who Buy Cars Are
ignorant of This Subject.
ECONOMY TOPIC MOST VITAL
Adding One Mile for Each Tire to
Enormous Mileage Piled Up Each
by Great Number of Cars,
Would Save Big Fortune.

When motor cars were rare, tire
mileage costs made little difference.
But now, when men are buying cars
as they would a suit of clothes or q
pair Of shoes-when our annual car
bill is more than $1,000,O00,0 OO, and
for tire about 1888, O00, O00-tire C
omy is a matter of great concern.
About 100000 cars are now regis.
tered in this country, wearing 10000.
600 tires. Adding only one mile for
each tire to the enormous mileage
piled up each day by these cars would
save Il handsome fortune for the mo
florists of the country.
Much Mileage Lost.
A. E. Hertzig, manager of q big tire
and rubber concern, in commenting on
the various kinds of abuse innocently
inflicted upon motor tires, preventing
them from attaining their allotted three
score and ten, declares that much Of
this mileage is lost through the fabric
breaks caused by hitting stones i'm
bedded in the road.
$50 many people are now buying
cars who know comparatively little
about cars or tires that it is not sur
prising that merciless abuse is heaped
upon them" he says. Hardly one
mOtorist in 100 appreciates the ter
rife strain placed on tires when trav-
cling at high speed over ordinary
roads. Your tires may withstand a
shock equal to ten tons weight while
running at a speed of 25 miles an
hour over country roads, and a little
later you have a blowout while un-
ming over a perfectly smooth street.
Cause Of Blowout.
"This is what happened. The ter
rife impact of the tire and the stone
imbedded in the road did not visibly
affect the exterior Of the tire. Had
you looked IT over you could not have
found q mark. But on the inside OF
the tire a break in the tire fabric was
started when the blow strained 1t be-
yond it's limit Of stretching strength,
Perhaps only one layer Of fabric was
injured. The other layers soon fol-
lowed suit and the blowout resulted.
ut Is common practice for a own
ers to bump front wheels against the
curbstone when parking their cars, es.
pecially If the brakes do not hold
properly. Many drivers make no pre-
tense Of slowing up for street car
tracks or bridge approaches. There
Is much fraternizing with ruts and
stones in the road. All these make for
fabric breaks, which rob the tire Of
many miles that were built into 1t
at the factory.

If sodium arsenate cannot be obtained
use white arsenic.
A second method of destroying ants
is by means of a sponge and sweet
ened water. Place a sponge saturat-
ed with sweetened water in a dish and
put the dish in an area which the
ants are freQuenting. AS soon as the
sponge becomes well covered with
ants, drop it into boiling water, then
saturate the sponge again with sweet
ened water. Repeat whenever neces-
sary.
A third method which can be fol-
lowed is to place a small piece Of the
rind of a ham upon a piece Of news
paper. AS soon as the rind becomes
covered with ants, knock off the ants
upon the paper. Fold up the paper
quickly so that none of the hts es-
cape and burn paper.

TAKE ALL CORNERS SLOWLY
Autoist Should Round Turns Slowly
and With caution-CIutch Should
Be Released.

One reason for side slipping may
be found in the fact that some driv-
ers take corners at a fast rate Of
speed. Allowing that the pavement
Is slippery, the autoist should round
turns slowly and with caution. The
clutch should be released If there Is
a tendency for the car to slip.
When this takes place, very fire..
quently the rear tires will lose their
lateral grip on the road surface. Mo-
florists should never steer a machine
sharply from a curb when the sur
face Is wet.
The reason for this is simple, In
that the grip of the wheels on the
road is insufficient to overcome the
centrifugal effect, and the result Is
the rear Of the GER is forced toward
the curbing. Sometimes a sudden
speeding up Of the motor will over.

ALBANIAN PRINCE AT WORK

Federal Powers to Keep Coun-

Rotterdam, Netherlands. - Prince
William zu Wied, the former prince Of
Albania, has by no means given up
hopes of regaining the realm which
he ruled over for so short and trou-
bled a period Immediately prior to the
great European confagration. His
latest step has been to send memo
rial to the German federal princes,
wherein he deals at length with the
development of Albanian affairs and
protests against the prOtectorate of Al
bania proclaimed by Italy. He argues
that an independent Albania offers the
securest basis for a lasting peace in
the Balkans, and that it is therefore
in the interests of Germany and Aus
tria. Further, Prince William asserts
his own rights to the throne of Al
bania.

IMPROVEMENT OF SOIL PAYS
Application of Lime, Manure and Acid
Phosphate Makes Big Difference
In Experiment.

Lime, manure and acid phosphate
have made phenomenal difference In
the growth of corn, wheat and clover
that is now growing on the Ohio ex-
pertinent station farm situated In
Meigs county. The best results have
been obtained where lime and phOs-
phated manure have been applied to
the corn crop and acid phosphate to
the wheat. Two tons of ground lime
stone and 700 pounds of acid phos-
plate were used per acre during the
three years rotation Of corn, wheat
and clover. This treatment has caused
the investment of considerable capital
but the cost has been returned with a
big rate of interest.

SWINE RELISH FEED VARIETY
Widespread Notion That Corn ls Best
Feed Is Erroneous-ThrlVe
Well on Pasture.

Hitherto, when corn has been cheap
and abundant it has been used so ex-
tensively for feeding to hogs that there
is a widespread notion that it is the
best feed. Investigations, however,
have shown that it has its disadvan-
tages as well as its advantages. When
1t is the exclusive grain feed, breeding
stock are not as prolific as on a varied
ration and for fattening purposes an
exclusive corn diet is not generally
profitable. The hog is naturally n
heavy and promiscuOus eater. He
thrives best where pastures are plen-
tiful and grain crops, nuts, or roots
are most abundant. He must have
water at all times, and shelter in win
ter. If these conditions are met, hog
raising can be made profitable outside
of the corn belt as well as in it.
