SEVEN REASONS FOR SIMHIFICATI0N IN CAR
MANUFACTURED GIVEN BY AUT0M0TNE INDUSTRY

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Basic rea,
sons for s-tandardizing and simplify
ing parts and accessories have been
formulated by tho Automotive Sim.
piified Practice committee and arc
made public now FOR the first time
by NJ, L. Heminway. chairman.
This committee embraces all the
principal organizations Of the auto.
motive industry and represents the
manufacturers. dealers, engineers,
IN every branch OF tho trade.
The principles OF simplif cation, as
proclaimed by this committee are OF
direct interest, not only TO compan-
les and individuals in the trade or
the industry, hut to all persons drly-
ing or owning motor vehicles, be
cause the program OF simp'ifloation
rs designed primarily to benefit by
Increased efficiency, comfort and
economy in automobile operation.
The seven reasons for slmpllfiea-
ton follow.
disqualification means standard
iaation Of those specifications and
sizes in automotlve construction
where individuality is neither neces-
sary nor desirable.
disqualification, through saving
of cost and effort on many details.
makes possible greater individuality
with respect to those factors where
distinctive style or size is an asset.

Of which "a the protection Of his
sncine. The bugaboo OF truck opera
tion IN tho winter is the danger of
freezing water. Only one satisfac-
tory solution OF tho problem has
been found and that Is the use OF
nnti-freeze in the water Of the cool
ing system. There are a number
Of chemical agents which have the
necessary immunity from freezing to
protect the engine in almost any
temperature that we get in this
country. the chief OF which is de-
natured alcohol.
In using alcohol for the radiator.
It is simply mixed with the water
and poured in the radiator. It's eff
fectivencss depends upon its
strength, The percent OF alcohol in
the water should be determined
upon in accordance with the cola
est temperature to be expected. For
safety. It Is well to start out with a
stronger solution to compensate for
the continued evaporation which
takes place.
Many people make It n point 10
put in a pro%portionate amount Of
alcohol with every filling OF the
radiator. believing that this Will
maintain the strength perpetuaIly.
Such, however. Is not the case, FOR
the alcohol will evaporate much
more rapidly than the water. There
is no need for this guesswork. A
hydromoter can be purchased which
gives a perfect index of the freez-
Ing point Of any alcohol solution.

protection is sought, tho percentage

Those who saw Human Wreckage at the Lyceum last night and this af- ternoon arc unanimous in declaring 1t to be one of the most dramatically entertaining pictures they ever saw. and at the same time putting over a moral lesson that cannot be over looked. Mrs. Wallace Reid has one of the principal roles and James Kirkwood has the part of brilliant lawyer who has to fight himself back from the brink Of eternity when he unwittingly becomes a dope fiend. Bessie Love has the part of a young mother who Is drug addict
 This picture had long run in New York, where it was declared to be one of the most crashing, smashing pro- ductions of the year.

 After a little hesitation said, You know Karl Whitney and have been like brother and sister all our lives.

 Again it was some evil spirit speaking through my lips, for cer- tainly l should never have allowed Mir. Cocoran to think that my dear mother would do such thing.
 Mir. Cocoran. however, seemed to think if mother approved it was all right. He said no more, but gave me a note to friend of his who was a jewel broker and l got out of his office as soon as possible.

ANTHRAX

During recent months much interest has been aroused by an internationa fight against the infection Of anthrax There is n desire to find some way oi disinfecting wool and hair infected with anthrax germs. These ship. ments are menace to the persons who handle them, sometimes causing death.
 The anthrax bacillus. under favor able conditions. will retain its vitality for years. Animals dying infected by bacillus anthracis. transmit in their hides. hair and wool the germs of an- thrax to human beings aThe anthrax bacillus has strong affinity for the oxygen of the human blood. It's chief action is to so affect the red corpuscles that they are unable to sustain tho life stream of blood in healthy normal state.
 The strange thing about the whole story of anthrax is that, although it has been known since ancient times, no particular efforts have been made to stay its inroads until compara- lively modern times. In 1877, Louis Pasteur. the great Frenchman. dis covered that he could use the organ isms from the blood of sheep or swine, dead of anthrax, and prepare from it an attenuated virus which he used as vaccine with remarkable success on sheep.
 The real cause of the latest inter- est in anthrax arises from the charge that certain shaving brushes. which have. not been properly sterilized be- fore importation. were dangerous and might cause infection. Some actual cases have been reported.
 There is no great cause for alarm. have always used a shaving brush and up to date have escaped anthrax. I have never known anyone who suf- fered from it through infection from shaving brushes.
