BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
ABOUT ENGINEERING

The Paige Detroit Motor Car COM
pany has sent out word that 1T will
this week make known in national adj
vertising mediums and in newspapers
from coast to coast one of the most
important announcements of its his
tory.

the lines of engineering development
representing three years of intensive
work-will be told in this announce

II he decides he must store his car
during bad weather.
\ That isn't being done nearly az uni
versally as 1t used to be. for every year
more owners are finding they need
their cars badly and can use them very
handily the year round. But some of
them put 'em UP, SO here are the sug-
gestions:
The water should be thoroughly
drained from the radiator and motor.
after which the engine should be run
under its own power until 1t becomes
thoroughly heated. Do not run the
motor too fast, but keep 1t going long
enough to evaporate every particle of
water that may be "pocketed" to pre-
vent the water freezing and possibly
bursting the water jackets.
1t is desirable to remove the tires and
place them in a dark room where they
are not subjected to extreme tempera-
ture changes. The castings should be
thoroughly cleaned to remove all oil
which may have adhered to them.
After removing the tires thoroughly
clean the inside of the wheel rims and
apply coat of enamel to prevent rust.
which is very injurious to the fabric
of the tire.
II the tires are not removed jack up
the car SO that the wheels clear the
floor at least two inches and let the
air out of the tubes.
Under no circumstances should the
car be stored in a barn or other build
ing in which horses or cattle are kept
at the same time. The ammonia
fumes given off will quickly discolor
the paint and enamel. Select a build

a wooden floor raised several inches
from the ground. All bright metal
parts should be thoroughly coated
with slab oil, vaseline. cosmic or gun
grease to prevent rusting.
Remove the spark plugs and pour
into each cylinder about two table,
spoonfuls of mixture of equal parts
Of lard and kerosene oil. Then turn
the motor over slowly by hand several
times until the cylinder walls and pis-
tons are thoroughly, covered with the
oily compound.
TO clean the cloth upholstery on Sc
dan bodies use warm water and Ivory
soap only. Gasoline has a tendency to
spread the grease and leave a discol-
ored spot. After cleaning wipe dry
with clean cloth.
The top of the car should be thor
oughly cleaned and all dust brushed
out. Never attempt to clean the top
or curtains with gasoline or kerosene
use a good brush or broom.
II possible the top should be kept
open, which will keep 1t well stretched
and smooth. If this cannot be done
use care in folding it-see that the
folds are straight and that none Of the
fabric is pinched between the bows or
supports.
Do not fold the top until It 10 thor

Lice on Hogs Costly to Farmers

Lice on hogs are extremely expen-
sive. The fact was proved in expert
ments recently concluded by the bu-
reau of animal industry Of the United
States department of agriculture. 1t
was shown that lousy hogs not only
consume more food and make less meat,
but that they are uneasy or restless,
a condition that doubtless lessons the
pork producing abilities of the animals.
When not eating, the lice ridden swine
spent most of their time rubbing them
selves or running around. If strangers
came near they were noticeably eX-
cited. This did not hold true Of the
hogs free from lice.
Three experiments. each extending
three months or more and with from
2 to 80 hogs as subjects. were con-
Quoted. In one experiment it cost ex-
actly 81 hundred pounds of pork more
to feed the hogs with lice than It did

tiles on this subject and inquiries nave
been directed to the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce, which con-
tain much that will be of interest to
authorities everywhere.
What areas may be advisably given
over to parking in the city is one Of the
questions asked. What is the space re-
quired for the various types of motor
trucks and automobiles is another
Then. too there is the factor of the
safe clearance space required for NOV
ing and standing cars in the street
while the part which through traffic
may play in the traffic of any city is
also a serious element.
While the first element to be taken
into consideration is that of conve-
nience and safety it may also be
pointed out that the comparative IA
cilities which a city has for the care
of vehicles may have a decided bearing
on it's economic life as, naturally, the
buyer who uses an automobile Will
seek the mart where he may most
safely dispose of his vehicle while in

to feed the clean animals. In another,
it cost $3.50 more, and in the third,
1894 more. The specialists who con-
Quoted the experiments reached the
conclusion that the main reason why
hogs with lice consume more protein
feed is due to the fact that the lice
suck the blood from the animals and
the latter must use more feed to re-
place their losses.
But the lice-ridden hogs cannot make
up for the blood sucked by their para
sites. For instance, at the beginning
of one experiment, Is hogs with lice
weighed total of 1857 pounds, and
Is hogs without lice weighed 1925
pounds. At the end of the experiment
the lousy hogs weighed 2S72 pounds
and the clean hogs weighed $3.50 pounds
although the total feed consumed by
the clean hogs weighed 1850 pounds
more than that eaten by the animals

The 1920 automobile and truck shows
which will be held in New York from
Jan. 8 to 10 will be the greatest ever

trucks will be displayed at the shows.
At least a dozen new makes of motor

and early fall pigs. The drop in prices
after stubble is CLEANED prevents much
profit from hogs II they must be mar
keted at that time. Use hogs that can
be put on the market for next spring

To reach these conclusions Mr.. Kerr
weighed hogs that were fed under these
five varied conditions:

Commercial and Rotary Clubs
Of Boise Unite to Seek Solu-
tion-To Clear Busy Streets

The sooner q city takes steps to pro-
vide more adequate parking facilities
the sooner It has tackled vital prob
lem in its commercial and social life.
The longer 1t 10 put off the worse will
the congestion and complication be-
come.

tackled At any rate members of the
Commercial and Rotary clubs have
been appointed to act as joint commit
tees to Investigate the local situation
as regards the congestion resulting
from automobile traffic in downtown
streets and to make recommendations
% alleviate 1t.
Whether Boise will find 1t necessary
to adopt suggestions OF city engineers
and landscape architects to select spe-
cial parking areas and establish public
garages remains to be seen. But 1t Is
certain that legislation will be recon-
mended which will clear the downtown
streets of standing cars and provide

facilitate rather than block traffic.
HiTcHlNc POST oUTGRoWN
Everywhere the growing number or

its operation, but also pressing need
for adequate provision for the vehicle

sufficed. II man lived at any great

Is that every town and city draws a
much larger traffic than could ever

the Encouragement of city facilities to
proyide for this new overflow has nat
urally been slow. The city architects
who laid out 90 per cent of the towns

who has charge of town planning today
has an entirely new factor to consider.

FINDS BEST FEEDS
FOR IDAHO PORKERS
Hog Specialist by Means of Jit-
ney, Crate and Pair of Scales
Uncovers Some Very valu-
able Facts.

One of the nice little chores that an
extension division specialist did in 1918
was to go out and weigh SAT pounds
of live hogs. The hero of this project
was William Kerr, swine specialist
What he wanted to know was: What
Is the best way of feeding hog in Ida
ho---so as to make money? Instead Of
looking in book, he took a jitney and
q hog crate and some scales and spent
the spring, summer and fall, from May
practically for the remainder of the
year, In cruising around the country
weighing porkers.
This coming year he will spend
much of his time telling swine growers
of Idaho what he found out. They are
likely to listen.
WEIGHS 4343 HOGS
The experiments covered eight
counties. There were "a demonstra tors.
He weighed 1858 pigs and hogs, weigh
ing 10S,847 pounds. Then he went all
around and weighed them again. 1t
took about six weeks each time. He
continued the process until. counting
each hog each time he weighed 1t, he
had weighed 4343. their total weights
being 221.547 pounds.
And the results?
Fall shoats should be fed a grain
supplement, on good succulent pasture.
and then should be placed on the mar
ket as early as possible. Where grain
is threshed early they might be given
one to two weeks finishing before be-
ing sold.

popularity of such a compilation and
she has made it and had 1t published
under the title of "The Haunted Hour. I"

are represented by single poem. Miss
Widdemer has grouped poems dealing
with ghosts Of the sea, ghosts of sol.

DREISER'S PLAY
"The Hand of the Potter a
"Stark Tragedy"

Some people call the novels Of Theo-
dore Dresser "strong" or powerful" !;
others term them "virulent" or "sen-
sational."
Without attempting to determine who
is correct, it is safe to say that the
quality in Mr.. Dreiser's novels which
causes the discussion is present also In

vertises the nature Of the contents by
the assertion that Mr.. Dreiser's play
is q tragedy, stark naked and un-
ashamed. 1t certainly is all Of those
sic and moonlight" drama would be
unlikely to make much Of a success
on the stage. Consequently it must be
judged for the most part as "closet
drama" and as such it has its merits.
Mr.. Dreiser's play is laid on the up
per East Side, and concerns family
of Russian Jews, into whose midst
comes a sordid tragedy duplicating one
of the sons, who is painted by the au-
thor most brutally as a degenerate and
good for nothing. Police court scenes
are vividly pictured, and the discovery
of the body of that same son, who has
committed suicide, is n masterful bit OF
reality, in which three well-drawn re-
porters have prominent parts.
The play is not pleasant one, nor
is the technique by any means perfect,
but it is powerful and evidently sincere,
and the action is coherent enough and
plausible enough to recommend 1t to
those who like strong characterizations
and moving situations.
