FEW HINTS TO KEEP CAR
RUNNING WELL IN WINTER
Good, Clean Oil, Radiator Cover
and Alcohol of First
Importance.

A motorist should have no more
trouble with his car in winter than
he does in summer, if he takes the
right precautions. Cold weather
operation requires just few changes
from summer running, and L. V. New
ton, superintendent Of the motor
equipment department Of the Texas
Company, producers of Texaco petro-
leum products, gives the following
six helpful suggestions to those
operating motor cars in cold weather.
l. Use a good clear oil with a low
cold test. 1t will flow at the first
turnover.
9 A little alcohol in your radiator
will prevent a frozen radiator. cause
less Inconvenience and preclude
cracked cylinder blocks.
g. radiator cover will keep your
engine and radiator warm. 1t also
makes far easier starting and saves
your storage battery.
4. Drain your crank case more fire.
quently in winter than in summer.
Every 500 miles is a good plan.
s. Easy starting. even in coldest
weather, will result from the use of
a volatile gasoline, because of its
low boiling point.
S. There are more than fifty parts
on your car that need lubrlca ton.
See that they get it this winter.

sion not only Of the MANNED civil war
veterans. but also the manned veterans

hereafter be placed upon the pension
rolls.
Chairman Bethlehem of the legislative
committee, has called attention that this
amendment. which is included in HR-
1920 and also in S-4010. would add not
more than 432 names to the l.1S9 names
called for under the original bill. OF
these 432 additional pensioners. only 145
are Spanish war veterans. and the re-
manning 277 are men In the regular es-
tablishment, but not connected with any
special war.
1t has also been pointed out that only
three additional names would be added
to the pension rolls under this amend
ment for veterans who receive pen
sion for the loss Of one hand and one
foot, or its equivalent, and not over
eleven names would be added for those
to receive an increased pension for the
loss of both arms and boths legs or
their equivalent.
The provisions Of the amendment are
briefly thus: Under the Sells bill Span
ish war veteran, who has lost one hand
or one foot would receive $50 a month:
the amendment proposes to increase this
" @oV d. II dlSO PlOpOseS " III
crease the logs Of an arm or leg from
$65 or $72 to $85 month. The next
provision increases the pension for the
loss Of one Of each of the above menu
bers, from $50 month to 800. while
the increase for the loss of both arms or
both legs will be from 800 to s1o5 a
month. An effort will also be made TO
provide pension for the loss of one eye
Members of the organization through
out the country are asked to get in touch

"In the house where I put up" he

been vacated by an old Englishman
who had lived in it for years. His
income was so small that, after set
tling for his room rent and laundry,
he had twenty cents a day for food.
Nobody guessed it, because he was
so dignified and proper proud. One
day he brought home another old gen.

cents together until the adopted one
was taken i'll. Illness calls for doc
tors. so the old Englishman brought
to the room another man, who came
in Il car, and when he went away he
carried some books for which he paid
$4,000. When the excited landlady
wanted to know why, for goodness
sake, he hadn't sold the books be-
fore. the old gentleman told her that
he would have suffered any personal
privation rather than part with his
handed down treasures, but, with a

Of the Woonsocket Cali, and the Cook
building, were virtually destroyed by
fire early to-day. The loss was ex,

cessful effort to stop the flames.
The Woonsocket Call arranged to
have its editorial rooms and other de-
partments set up in the chamber Of

ruined the press rooms Of the Call on
the ground floor and the editorial
rooms above. Efforts TO stop the fire
in this building failed, and it spread to
the Cook building, adjoining.
