MUNICIPAL CONTROL OF TREES
Example Set by Newark, N. j., Might
Well Be Copied Throughout
the Country.

What municipal control Of shade
trees can do may best be illustrated
by what it has done; and as we have
first-hand knowledge Of what, it has
done in Newark, says an exchange.
we may be pardoned for citing the
experience of that town-though it Is
our own. In 1904 Newark, acting I'M
der state law, created shade-tree
commission. To this body (of three
members) was committed the "exclu-
sive and absolute control and power
to plant, set out, maintain, protect
and care for shade trees in any of the
public highways Of the municipality"
In 1905 supplementary law trans
ferred to the commissions control the
care and improvement of "the public
parks belonging to the municipality
or any department in the government
thereof" In 1906 the commission was
empowered ito pass, enact, alter,
amend and repeal ordinances for the
protection, regulation and control of
all shade trees" situated Gin the public
highways of the city. And now,
DrleHy, WnaC mas come OF InlS!
1t at once raised the status of the
then existent street trees. These fine
old stately growths which had come
down to us out Of the past from the
fathers, but which for so long had
been strangers to considerable treat
ment, were now seen to be set apart
as objects Of governments special
care, as wards Of a municipal depart
ment specially created to care for and
protect them, and empowered to en-
force considerate treatment of them.
Here was the germ of what has since
unfolded into a public sentiment
which had not heretofore existed-a
new and unique sentiment in favor
of the trees, that goes on increasing.

CLEAN DEPOSITS
FROM OIL BASE
Sediment and Muck Accumulate
Much Faster Than the Car
Owner Ever Imagines.
NASTY BUT NECESSARY Job
Small Lumps Of Carbon From cylin.
ders, Sand From Road and Metal
Turnings Have Been Found
Give Engine Needed Care.
Ry WILLIAM n. STEWART JR.. Pres
ident Of the Stewart Automobile

Ry WILLIAM n. STEWART, JR., Pres
tdent Of the Stewart Automobile
school.)
What world Of trouble you are
storing up for yourself if you do not
drop the oil base and clean 1t. Sedi-
ment and muck accumulate faster than
you think and sooner or later you will
have a ruined engine on your hands.
1t is not sufficient to change the oil
regularly, as advised by the manufac-
turer. The oil base should be taken
down and the deposits removed occa-
sionally.
Nature Of Accommodations.
The first time you do this you will
be surprised at the nature of the &C.
cumulations. Small Jumps Of carbon
from the cylinders, sand from the road,
even particles Of metal turnings left
there when you car came from the
factory, have all been found in the
oil base. But worst Of all is the thick
muck Of burnt oil and carbon which
covers the bottom and sides. The grit
and other particles are heavy and sink
to the bottom, but the muck remains
even after the base is drained Of the
old oil.
The advice usually given to the mo-
torist may be summed up as follows :
Drain out all the old oil, replace the
plug and I'LL to the usual level with
kerosene. Run the engine not more
than 30 seconds, and then drain the
oil base. Repeat If thought necessary.
This stirs up the muck and sediment,
which runs out with the kerosene. In
this way the base and bearings are
cleaned with minimum Of effort and
without removing the crank case.''
Grit SpIashed Around.
"Stir it up!" Indeed, the grit
which should lie dormant until scraped
out by hand is stirred up and splashed
all around the crank case and also
carried into the bearings 1t forms a
fine grinding compound, which either
shortens the life Of the bearings or
clogs up the Oil holes, causing the bear
tngs to run dry. The result is even
worse If the oiling system Is one of
the present type forcing oil through a
hollow crank-shaft directly into the
bearings. Right into the bearings
mind you! and under pressure, too
Can anyone defend this method after
realizing what this means? It is moi
sufficient answer to say that the oil
must pass through a strainer.
i So although it is dirty job and q
disagreeable one to remove the crank
case for proper cleaning, 1t is the only
way to give your engine the care i,
really needs.

SENATOR M'coRMICK's BUDGET PLAN

Senator Mccormick of Illinois will
introduce a budget bill at this session
of congress. He attacks the Good bill
as faulty. He says his bill differs from
that of Mr.. Good, chiefly, in placing the
budget bureau under the secretary Of
the treasury, who is made strictly
financial officer and Invested of extra
neous functions, such as administration
of public buildings and public health
service, and in empowering the budget
bureau to reduce departmental appro-
priation estimates.

TAKE CARE Of AUTO
BATTERY IN WINTER
Delicate Piece Of Apparatus
Will Soon Depreciate.
Il Should Be Kept Fully Charged and
Not Allowed to Freeze-Enalne
Should Be Run at Regular Pc
rlods to Charge.

Many automobile owners do not real
lie the Importance and necessity Of
giving their starting and lighting bat
teries proper attention in the winter.
The battery is a delicate piece Of ap-
paratus and If mistreated will very
quickly depreciate.
Two things are Of prime impor-
rance: The battery should be kept
fully charged and it should not be al
lowed to freeze. A battery when
standing idle for any length Of time
gradually loses its charge. Therefore
If the car is not run regularly during
the winter, in order to keep the bat
terry fully charged, the engine should
be run at regular periods to charge,
or else the battery should be charged
from an, outside source Of current.
This should be done every two or
three weeks. The state Of charge can
be easily read from specific gravity
hydrometer syringe, which can be pur-
chased for about 81 from an auto sup
ply dealer. A reading Of from 1850
to 1900 indicates full charge. The
reading is indicated by the numbers
on the hydrometer at the level Of the
liquid.
If the battery is fully charged it Is
not apt to freeze when the tempera-
tire is above zero, Fahrenheit. It is
best, however, to take the battery from
the car and into the house in extremely
cold weather.
External charging can be done from
an electric lamp socket If the current
is direct, by the use Of resistance
to limit the current going into the bat
terry. If the current is alternating,
rectifier must be used to make it
direct,
