FROM WAR TO PEACE
IN MOTOR INDUSTRY
Automobile Trade Did More Than
Its Bit to Help Win War.
Fleet Of American Trucks Coming In
to Use for Additional Transporta-
ton Facilities Needs Services
of Released Soldiers.

AS single industry the automobile
trade did more than it's bit to help win
the war. Not only did manufacturers
come up to specifications in quantity
and quality of delivery, but they built
better than it was thought they knew
how. Proof of this was given the 9TH
er day when, at an auction of old army
cars in France, the French and the
English bid higher prices for the cars
than they cost the American govern
ment new. An army of men was en-
ployed to run these trucks and cars
on the firing line. They gained more
experience in month of that sort Of
work than they could have gained in
q lifetime of peace work.
The rolling stock will be left abroad
but the men are coming back. They
are being released daily from the mill
tary service, and are returning in large
numbers to civilian life. There is no
lack Of work for them to do. For the
fleet of American trucks now coming
into use for additional transportation
facilities all over lne country nSeuS just
such men-men who have learned how
to act in any emergency, who feel al
most Immediately the idiosyncrasies of
every motor, who have acquired an eff
cheney under shell fire that will make
them leaders in their work in peace
times.
Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the
secretary of war, who is in charge of
the unemployment work for ex-service
men, announces that number of such
men, are now available for private en-
ploy. The automobile industry viii
not lose this opportunity of obtaining
men who, to their pre-war ability, have
added the exceptional training and eX
perience of months on the firing line.
These men will be in demand, and can
be obtained through governmental and
welfare employment agencies, who will
put them in touch with employers who
need their services.

dressing; then a simple dessert, like
musk melon, peaches and cream with
a cooky, or small sponge cake with
dish of sliced bananas.
A good dish which will make main
dish and is very filling is:
Goldfish ChoWder.-Cut in dice a
quarter of a pound Of salt pork; fry
until brown, then add three to six
sliced onions; stir and cook until light
cOlOred; add twice the amount Of
sliced potatoes, and water to cover !;
cook until the vegetables are soft, then
add half-pOund of shredded and par
boiled Goldfish, half-dozen milk crack
ers which have been softened by pour
Ing boiling water over them, a quart
Of milk and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in bowls, very hot, with a
cracker on top of each. Fresh fish may
be used in this chOwder Add the fish,
cooked until tender, or 1t may be add
ed about twenty minutes before the
dish is ready to serve. Too long cook
ing of the fish will make it tasteless
Corn and Rice Muffins.-Take two
Cupfuls of buttermilk, one cupful of
COrnmeal, one teaspoonful of soda, a
pinch of salt, half cupful of cream
and half a cupful of boiled rice. Mash
the rice; add pinch of salt, and the
cream, an egg well beaten and the but
termilk mixed with the soda, then the
meal. Bake In buttered muffin tins In
n quick oven.
Banana Puffs.-Take one cupful of
sugar, tablespoonful of butter, one
cupful Of flour, teaspoonful of bak-
ing powder, three well beaten eggs
and milk to make drop batter-about
quarter of cupful. Mix and stir in
three sliced bananas and fill buttered
custard cups; steam one hour and
serve with lemon sauce.
Lemon Sauce.-Take half a cupful
Of sugar, the juice and rind Of lemon,
Il tablespoonful of butter and quar-
ter of cupful of water; cook until
soft, adding an egg, well beaten, by
pouring the cooked mixture over the
egg, stirring constantly. Serve hot.

A rubber plant should be washed
with milk once or twice month. This
will keep the leaves glossy and hand
some.
Save the discarded tooth-brushes
and old underwear for cleaning and
polishing silver. A clean, dry brush is
the best kind Of cleaner to brush the
whiting from chased silver. Use the
soft underwear for the hard rubbing,
and finish the polishing with a cham
OILS skin.
If silver is rubbed after a soapy bath
with chamois skin, once a week, the
hard cleaning will not need to be done
so often.
The French way of making tough
meat tender is one worth remember
ing: Lay the steak in a marinade of
three tablespoonfuls Of olive oil and
one and one-half of vinegar; let stand
four hours on ice, turning frequently
to be sure that both sides are treated
then broil as usual.
When cooking a pudding either by
steam or in boiling water, take care
to replenish the water by boiling water,
or the pudding will fall or be soggy.
A cut lemon dipped in salt or bath
brick makes a fine cleaner for copper
or brass. 1t is also good to remove
stains from the coffee and tea pots.
A nice laundry bag may be made Of
two bordered towels, using draw
string at the top. For holding scraps
and pieces, circular bag, which may
be laid out fiat on the floor will be
found convenient, as then any bundle
can be quickly found.
A good tonic which may be brewed
at home is sassafras tea. This is an
old remedy used by our grandmothers,
and one which Is perfectly reliable.
Steep small handful of sassafras
root by covering with a quart of boil
ing water. Strain and drink half q
cupful night and morning. 1t purifes
the blood and acts as a tonic.

water Make strip of four pounds
Of sugar, two tablespoOnfuls of ground
cinnamon, one teaspoonful of ground
cloves and two quarts of vinegar. Tie
the spices in bag. Pour the hot strip
over the drained melon rind; let stand
"a hours. Reheat the strip four morn
ings then cover for winter use.
Tomatoes Canned.-Take one gallon
Of water one cupful of salt, and bring
to the boiling point, Their drop in whole
tomatoes, previously peeled and cook
until well scalded through. Place in
cans, using a skinner to drain off the
brine. The juice of the tomatoes will
make liquid enough to cover them, and
.he brine may be used for any number
If tomatoes.
Nut Conserve.-Take two pints of
yrape juice, two pounds of sugar, four
Crarges sliced thin, the JUICE and graf
Csd rind of lemon, one and One-thrd
L,Ourds of chopped raisins, two-thirds
q a pound Of chopped walauts, one

one hour, or until a thick msrmalade
is formed,
Picked Onions.-Select small silver
skin+ onions; put them in brine,
after peeling carefully. Let stand
three days in brine that will float an
egg. Drain and place in jar, first
layer of onions three inches deep, then
layer of horseradish, sprinkling of
cinnamon, cloves and cayenne or, bet
ter, chopped red pepper; repeat until
the jar is full. Cover with vinegar,
brought to the boiling point; add one

fish that will be improved in flavor by
stufiing, or the addition of many sea-
sonings. The charm of any dish is to
keep its characteristic flavor, accen-
tuating it, not covering it with season
1ngs. The Old-fashioned method of
Stuff1ng all kinds of fowl and game is
no longer considered desirable by the
best diners.
Duck may be improved by the addi-
tion of an onion, bunch of celery or,
as some Southern cooks do, put an
oyster in a small bird before broiling
or baking.
Wild game that lacks fat is some
times wrapped in slices of bacon,
fastening them with toothpicks if the
bird Is small, or placing slice over
the breast of a large bird.
For the small birds a nicely toasted
square of bread is the best pedestal
on which to place the tiny morsel of
delici1usnesS. The toast should al,
ways be well buttered and soft, with
the crGsts removed. Water cress is
one of the incest of garnishes, and q
salad of sliced oranges on water cress
served with French dressing is the
salad par excellence to serve with
duck.
Those acquainted with only the cul.
tivated mushroom do not realize the
rare flavor Of the field variety. They
are found in abundance until the frost
comes to kill them. 1t is better to buy
them in the market, gathered by SONS
one who is reliable, than to risk being
poisoned.
The field mushroom is delightful
when simply cooked in a little butter,
with salt and pepper for seasoning
some like g bit of cream then serve
them on toast.
Mushrooms make a better supper
DISH than aB earlier meal, as they re.
qnire little as an accompaniment and
are much better enjoyed than when
confused with the many items of
more elaborate repast.

Dresses designed for the younger
misses wear-for school and else
where-this fall are the most satisfac-
tory that have been presented for
many seasons. They reflect the at
tributes of young girlhood-or at any
rate the attributes we like to find in
young girls. These frocks are sturdy.
simple, quite plain, very neat and prac-
tice much restraint in the matter of
trimmings They clothe the immature
figure to the best advantage and are
calculated to educate their young
wearers in the fitness of things, the
suiting of clothes to occasions and to
youth. The designers of dress for
misses and junior misses are not al
ways conscious of their responsible
vate schools and academies realize
its Importance. They are careful to
prescribe what may be worn by the
girls under their charge. Girls In the
public schools have not the advantage
of this system, but the designers Of
ready-made dresses for them have
made good choice easy this fall.
"For school" is written on the en-
gaging frock for girl in her early
teens, that is shown here. 1t is every
thing that such a frock should be and
is so adequately pictured that it hard
ly needs description. 1t is shown
made of ricotine in blue, and its
neat and quiet trimming of rows of

silk braid in the same color are put
on with satisfying precision. . The
body and plain sleeves reveal the
slender and childish figure and sup.
port a straight skirt that Is gathered
on at the waist line. A frill of plait-
ed silk about the round neck is in
the same blue as the dress. But q mar
rover frill of white batiste adds a
crisp freshness, as often as it is need
ed. This is one of the sevarest of
school frocks but we do not grow tired
of these plain dresses.
There are number of successful
models for the younger misses in
which navy blue wooden fabrics
serge, gabardine, tricotine and the like
show pipings, facings and vestees
sometimes, Of dark red. This Is al
ways a good color combination when
the red Is used with much restraint.
Very small buttons, narrow ribbon
bows and ties and sheer collar and
cuff sets In white cotton goods figure
in the smart details of the school girls
dress, Also there are several new
fabrics in brown, blue and oxford and
in tasteful mixtures of color that
insure variety in the quiet company
of school dresses with which the
younger misses face their school year.

half a pint Of rose water, with ten
drops of tincture of benzoin added to
prevent the glycerin becoming rancid,
is excellent.
This mixture should be used after
the hair has been made ready for
dressing by removing all the tangles.
This done, one should put about half a
teaspoOnful of the mixture in the palm
of the left hand and rub the right into
it. With both hands the hair is gent
ly rubbed and patted smooth from
forehead to neck, oiling it, but so
slightly that the application is not WIS.,
ible. Afterward dressing proceeds in
the usual way. Occasionally woman
should use a slightly wet brush after
the Oiling. This must not be applied
every day or the effect of too much
water will be drying.
Another liquid for the same purpose
is made from one-quarter of an ounce
of gum benzoin and four ounces Of
high-proof alcoholic After the gum is
dissolved the liquid Is strained through
coarse brown paper and two ounces
of castor oil and half dram each Of
oils Of geranium and bergamot are
added. This is put on by the same
process as was described above.
Neither of these is to be regarded as
a tonic or used as substitute, for they
are distinctly dressings, and the man
ner IN which they are put on in no
way affects the scalp. To feed the
scalp it is necessary that whatever is
put on shall be rubbed into the pores.

Contrary to the general supposition,
1t is more dangerous to be in advance
of, than behind, the procession in the
matter Of introducing improvements
in a motor car" said F. H. Akers,
sales manager of an eastern motor
car concern.
II am reminded of this by the fact
that just at this time all manufactur-
ers are either eQuipping motor trucks
with pneumatic tires or making it
optional with the buyer.
After the most exhaustive compar-
alive tests with several trucks of the
same model, some equipped with
pneumatics and others with solid tires,
our engineers found that from every
standpoint the pneumatic-tired truck
was infinitely superior.
''First-It was more efficient for the
reason that it would travel at nearly
twice the speed and thereby make
twice as many trips in a given time.
Upkeep Cost Less.
"Second-The upkeep cost was al
most unbelievably less, due to the
fact that not only did we obtain more
mileage on a set of pneumatics than
on solids, but that the air cushion eff
fects wonderful saving on the
chassis.
''Not only that, but after 1000 or
5000 miles the resiliency in the rub
Der has been exhausted or, as the mo-
florists say, the rubber tires (not a
pun, but meaning fatigue) and &C.
quires more the consistency Of wood
than of gutta percha.
"Also our engineers found that the
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1919-10-09

fuel consumption was less for the we'll
known reason that any pneumatic-tire
vehicle requires less power.
Another factor that was much In
favor of the pneumatics was the alb
sence Of injury to loads of fragile ma
terials. Perishable goods suffer less
In a pneumatic-tired truck than they
do in solid-tired vehicle, even though
the latter 60 at half the speed.
Lighting was another problem.
"First we had kerosene lamps and
then came the carbide tank.
with some reason there was OBJ
lection to this On the ground that it
was dangerous.
"a lot of people had to be convinced
that If the car got into a smashup the
gas tank would not explode.
SIT sounds ridiculous at this late
date, but it is a fact, that although
every motorist wanted to get away
from the drudgery and the danger of
cranking his car there was a tremen-
dous opposition to every form of self
starter.
1--WE expected and were prepared for
a battle when we decided that the
right thing for a light, high-speed
truck was pneumatic tires, but we have
always believed it was our duty to give
the buyer the best our experience die
tated and so we went through with it.
Everyone now admits the pneu-
matic-tired truck is inevitable, because
1t is the solution of most Of the truck
ing problems, so we feel we'll repaid
for our missionary work"

CLEARANCE FOR INLET VALVE
Do Not Run as Hot as, Exhaust Valve

Inlet valves do not run as hot as
exhaust valves and consequently do
not expand as much. For this reason
less clearance is allowed between the
stems and pushrods of mechanically
operated inlet valves than is allowed
in the same units of exhaust valves.

Care of the Hair.

Women who have not the time or
money to take scalp treatments can
do about as much for themselves as
a specialist can do for them in the
treatment of ordinary hair troubles.
len minutes attention given to the
hair and scalp each day is more bene-
fetal than infrequent professional
treatments. The remedies for the
usual scalp and hair difficulties are
simple and inexpensive. 1t is regu-
lar and persistent care that can be
depended on to repay the effort.
Cleanliness requires a shampoo at
intervals of two to four weeks. If the
scalp is healthy and the hair sufficient
ly abundant this, with a brisk. brief
brushing every day will keep the hair
in good condition.
To Cure Dandruff.
Take a thimbleful of powdered re-
fined boraX, let 1t dissolve in a teacup-
full of water; first brush the head well,
and then wet a brush with the solution
and rub the scalp well with it. Do
thls every Gay Tor week, then twice
a week, until no trace of dandruff is
found.
To improve Hair.
The best shampoo for oily hair and
dry scalp is an egg shampoo, made by
adding one ounce of cold water to one
well-beaten egg; rub mixture we'll into
the scalp and on the hair, rinse in
warm water, then in cold water, dry
thoroughly, apply tonic and massage
the scalp for ten minutes. Each night
use a tonic and massage for ten min
utes.
Stiff Hair.
The first remedy for a woman whose
hair has begun to be stiff is to expert
ment with slightly oily liquids until
she finds one suitable. A lotion made
from one tablespoonful of glycerin,
