Washington, D. c., July 28.-The
beginning Of the tenth week of SEN

panied by many evidences of expect
ancy that statements from President
Wilson soon might clarity the two is
sues around which the discusesion has
centered, Shantung and reservations.
Wilson to State Stand.
Intimations at the White House that
president would in few days take
public stand regarding the reserva-
tiOn proposals led senate leaders to
believe that the line Of that contro-
versy might speedily be drawn.
Whether the president would express
readiness to accept reservations or
other qualifications not imperilling
the league covenant remained The sub
iect of conjecture but more than one
republican senator who had seen him
at the white house said his stand
would not be an uncompromising one
for unreserved ratification.
The hopes of developments regard
ing the Shantung provision was based
on the presidents diplomatic confer
ence with Japan to secure public
declaration Of her future policy re-
garding that peninsula.
Talks 1t Over With Own Party
President Wilson began discussion
of the peace treaty today with demo-
cratic senator's. Further conferences
with republican senators, dozen of
whom already have visited the White
House were held in allegiance.
Senator Thomas, democrat, of Colo
rado, was the first caller today. He
described his talk with the president
as "highly satisfactory" but refused
to 20 into details of the discussion.

COLD WEATHER ENGINE CARE
Safest Plan to Drain Water From All
Parts Of System When Car 10
Left for Night.

If a water-coOled engine is not care
fully guarded in cold weather and the
water is allowed to freeze, pipes or ra-
diators will break or a water jacket
will crack. To prevent such damage,
the safest plan is to drain the water
from all parts of the system when the
car is left for the night or for a long
time during the day. The engine may
then be allowed to run a few minutes
to make sure that all the water has
been removed. If the car is used a
great deal in cold weather it may be
advisable to use a nonfreezing solu-
ton. A mixture containing 20 per
cent Of denatured alcohol will freeze
at ten degrees above zero; 80 per cent
solution will freeze at five below zero;
40 per cent at 20 below, and SO per
cent at 35 below.

DIRECT DEALING

Housewives appreciate receiv-
ing farm produce which they
know to be fresh. Many farm
crs within 80 miles of cities
have regular supplies of high
grade produce, the quality of
which they can guarantee. The
parcel post offers n means of d.
rect dealing between producer
and consumer, with profit to
both.
Parcel-post shipments are In
creasinG in number, though
probably they always will affect
only a small percentage of the
farm produce that goes to mar
ket. Dealing by parcel post sue
ceeds if the farmer is careful
to keep up the quality of his pro-
duce, packs 1t safely and attrac-
lively, and meets his engage
ments promptly-always suppos-
ing that the consumer also OBJ
serves business methods in the
transaction.

In these days of high egg prices
every family is a likely addition to
the already vast army of backyard
poultry keepers. The United States
government is actively encouraging
this proposition, the department OF
agriculture having recently issued a
special bulletin on it.
The keeping Of a small flock of lay
ing hens on Il town or village lot or
in a city back yard is an important
branch of poultry keeping. Though
the value Of the product from each
flock is small Of itself the aggregate is
large. The product of such IA flock,
both In the form of eggs and fowls
for the table. may be produced at n
relatively low cost, because of the DOS
sibilitles Of utilizing table scraps and
kitchen waste which would otherwise
be thrown away. A small flock of
hens, even as few as six or eight.
should produce eggs enough, where
used economically, for a family of four
or five persons throughout the entire
year. except during the melting period
of the fall and early winter. BY the
preservation Of surplus eggs produced
Turing the spring and early summer this
period of scarcity can be provided for.
The keeping of pullets instead of hens
also will insure the production of eggs
at this time. Not only will the Eggs
from the home flock materially reduce
