uNFREEzABLE LIQUID

A peculiar liquid has been discov-
cred by an English engineer, who
claims that because it is impossible
for it to be frozen, it will supersede
water for use in motor vehicle radi-
ators in cold weather. Apart from
its wonderful powers of resistance
to cold, the liquid is semi-lubri-
cant and noncorrosiye. Above all,
it is very cheap.

at her father and remarked:
"There's not going to be any more

fair and get an appropriation for n
commission to visit Philadelphia. The
legislators, say, Of California. cannot
cave their legislative matters while the
Legislature is in session and travel
across the continent to attend to thi
one matter. and consume four or five
weeks time. They must wait until the
Legislature adjourns and they report to
the next Legislature. which means 1925
Then. provided the Legislature passes
the measure promptly. you leave the
exhibitors Of the State scant year
to get everything ready and build their
building.
1T might be done. but It will be a
rush. and nothing will be well done
But suppos, States Legislature does
not meet again until 1924, and thi,
is true of eight States. How are those
States going to get an appropriation
and exhibit and build? 1t cannot be
done.

stage and not wait until two or three
years from now. discover we cannot do
It and then make the mistake of Chi =

Wants TO Assure Success
IT have gone into this matter for
weeks with the greatest care. and am
convinced that to persist in holding the
fair in 1926 spells absolute failurc--to
hold IL in 1927 spells success.
AS to the year date. 1926. we
have got that wrong anyhow. The
fair Is supposed TO mark 40 years of
progress. How can you mark period
until it has fully passed?'
Mr.. Bok's suggestion, 1t is said, has
caused considerable discussion in the
two committees before which he pro-
posed it. After weeks of thought ono
member after another has acknowl :

his point of view. The matter has
not been officially brought before the
Board of Directors. but the argument
has been known to individual members
for some time, and they have had time
to consider it's logic.
The directors are expected to take
final action before the Darrow bill
reaches the Senate and the President
signs it with the date 1926 contained
in it.
