USING STALE BREAD

There need be no waste Of
stale bread. For bread that is
not allowed to become moldy
may be used In a variety OF
ways, discarding only the brown
crusts and these are sometimes
dried, crushed and used in grid
die cakes. Small bits Of leftover
bread, slices that have become
too dry for use as toast, crou
tons and such like, should be
dried in the warming oven, cov-
cred with a piece Of cheese
cloth to protect thsm from dust,
then passed through a meat
chopper and sifted. The fine
crumbs are used for crumbling
croquettes, outlets, etc., and the
coarse crumbs for the top Of au
gratin dishes. Such crumbs
should be stored in glass jars
and they will keep a long time
II placed in q cool dry place.

STAR CAR EXHIBIT
AT CLOSED CAR SHOW

One of the coveted spaces at the forth
coming closed car show of thS Auto
mobile Merchants Association was that
which William c. Poertner. president of
the Poertner Motor Car Company. Inc.
secured after spirited bidding for the dis
play of Durant and Star cars. This
will be the first exhibition at any show
of the Star models. although they were
publicly on display in this city originally
in the month of June in the New York
salesroom OF the Poertner Motor Car
Company, Inc. metropolitan distribu-
tors for both lines.
The space at the show Is large enough
to display the full line of closed cars
built on the Durant and Star chassis
These include coupe and sedan on the
four and six cylinder chassis. and also
Of the Star. Careful attention to good
workmanship and real luxury of detail
mark the Durant products displayed by
Poertner. Not only the finish but the
full detail Of interior workmanship has
made the Durant closed car extremely
popular IN this territory. These features,
coupled with the splendid chassis built
by Mr.. Durant. have combined to Gre
ate demand for Durant closed cars so
that a very high percentage OF the 1000
Durant cars now running in the metro
politan territory arc closed models.

States and Canada for September 1923.
The new Cadillac Victoria and five pas
senger coupe body styles will serve as
the principal feature of novelty at the
auto salons which will be held by the
Cadillac dealers.
The new Type 81 Victoria. the always
popular four passenger enclosed model.
has been receiving enthusiastic praise
from Cadillac dealers and from thoss
Cadillac owners who have seen il.
Changes have been made which give
the Victoria an impression of greater
length and less height. 1t IS consider
ably enlarged, providing more room for
the occupants. All seats have been made
wider and deeper, and the drivers seat
Is now so placed al TO be directly behind
the steering wheel. The auxiliary fold
ing seat. which Is beside the drivers
seat, is so arranged that il gives more
room for the person occupying it.
Interior appointments have been en-
hanccd in the use OF new pull-to handles
on the doors and other design OF fittings
which are beautifully In keeping with
the atmosphere OF the car.
The five passenger coupe also has
been considerably improved by providing

TRUCKS RELIEVE
FREIGHT EMBARGO
Packard Official Says Syste-
matizing of Their Operation
Is Important Thing.

That the country's motor trucks and
the systematizing OF their operation have
now reached a point where they are
capable OF handling a serious national
transportation emergency. is the opinion
Of Lee J. Eastman. president of the
Packard Motor Car Company Of New
York In commenting on the measures
to be taken to relieve the imminent tie
up resulting from the recent embargo by
four OF the Eastern roads Mr.. Eastman
said:
I'VE are interested not in the reasons
leading up to the embargo, but In the
way In which motor trucks can be made
TO help the situation and prevent a seri-
Gus traffic tieup that will hurt business.
Whether the situation is only temporary
or is the beginning of an all winter
shortage of railroad freight handling
service is. Of course. hard to determine at
this time.
I'VE are urging truck owners to ana
lyze their immediate hauling needs and
then prepare for the possible demand
which curtailment of railroad service
may place on their trucks. Truck
owners and operators everywhere should
see to II that their equipment Is in 100
per cent. efficient running order and
should prepare to do their own hauling
over as long distances as can be eco
nomically arranged"
Mr.. Eastman pointed also TO the fact
that In 1921 there were 1.127,482 com
mercial motor vehicles registered in this
country, that 1900 express companies
are operating with motor trucks alone
and that In 1921 motor trucks hauled
1880. 100000 tons. while the railroads
hauled 1.6A2,261. 900 tons.

SCOUT USES HIS FIRST AID

While engaged In playing football
on the common near the Homewood
Presbyterian church, Pittsburgh,
small boy named Joseph Dunlap, was
thrown forcibly against a broken bot
tie, the contact severing an artery In
his ankle. Twelve-year-old Randolph
l.. Martin, tenderfoOt scout who as
pires soon to be in second-class ranks,
was happily on the spot 1t was only
a few days before that he had quail
fed in his first aid test, but he knew
his job. Rapidly he made tourniquet
out of his suspender and applied 1t ac-
curately, closing the artery which had
been bleeding so profusely. The in
jured lad would soon have bled to
death without instant treatment. A
stretcher was improvised from some
of the other boys coats, under young
Martins direction, and the victim car,
ried to the Office of the nearest ply
sician, DR.. c. j. Yorty. On examining
the treatment Doctor Yorty was
amazed to learn that twelve-year-old
boy could perform so grave task so
perfectly. He sat down at once and
wrote a letter to scout headquarters
detailing the incident and emphasizing
his admiration for q movement which
could give boys such training.
The action of Scout Martin Is said
to have given scouting tremendous
boost locally, particularly among the
parents of boys. The hero of the in
cident is member of Troop 63 of the
Second Pittsburgh district in charge of
Scoutmaster r. e. Baker, who takes
special pride in his troops first-aid
proficiency.

PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as aoon as
the first indication of cold appears
SO as to get rid Of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia when this
remedy may be obtained for trifle.
