KIWANIS CLUB LUNCH

]. ]. Tigert, United States COM
missioner Of education, was prin-
clpal speaker at the regular meet
ing of the Kiwani1 club luncheon,
held at the Alyarado hotel yester-
day at noon. After the luncheon
every person present declared 1t
the most overwhelmingly effective
and entertaining ever offered in
Albuquerque.
Mr.. Tigert selected as his sub
ject: 1.-THE Products of the Mind
versus the Products of the Soil" 3"
His speech was replete with witty
remarks and humorous tales. He
was applauded tile after timo
through the speech, and at the
end was greeted with an ovation
by the full attendance of the club.
Mr.. Tigert emphasized the fact
that the products of the mind,
meaning ideas, technical skill, etc,
are greater, more productive in
wealth and in benefits to humanity
than tho products of the soil. He
spoke OF the building up OF De-
trolt from an insignificant city to
the fourth city in the United
states. He said this had been ac-
complished because Detroit was the
one city in the United States which
could furnish the ideas and skill
required in the automobile
industry.
VIII C. Wood, state superintend-
ent Of education in California, also
addressed the gathering. He
smoke on "The Possibilities Of New
Mexico" He said California had
been built up through visions and
special training, and said the pos
sibilities of New Mexico are fully
as great as those OF California and
might be built up in the same
manner. He said that instead Of
adopting the slogan, 100000 in
five years" Albuquerque should
take up the slogan: 100000 by
1890"

An anti-freeze mixture in the radi-

weather, and the best mixture to use
IN the radiator is grain or denatured
alcohol (not wood ALCOHOL. De-

lowing proportions:
At zero use part Of alcohol to 8
parts Of water.
At 5 below zero use part of
alcohol to 2 parts Of water.
AT 90 below zero use ! part of
alcohol to part Of water.
Alcohol eyaporates rapidly, so that
it is q good idea TO have two gal
Ions of alcohol in the garage So
that you can always replace that

Don't take any risks but at the first

disconnected, until you see the water
begin to circulate.
