TO KEEP CAR RUNNING
WELL DURING WINTER
Good, Clean Oil Is of Most Vital
Importance.
Just a Few Changes From Summer
Running Are Necessary and Six
Helpful Suggestions Are Offered
to Owners of Automobiles.

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 a few changes from
summer running, and the following SIX
helpful suggestions are made to those
operating motor cars in cold weather.
1. Use good, clear oil with low
cold test. 1t will flow at the first turn
over.
2. A little alcohol in your radiator
will prevent a frozen radiator, cause
less inconvenience and preclude
cracked cylinder blocks.
g. A radiator cover will keep your
engine and radiator warm. It also
makes far easier starting and saves
your storage battery.
4. Drain your crank case more ire
ouently in winter than in summer.
Every 500 miles is a good plan.
5. Easy starting even in coolest
weather, will result from the use
of volatile gasoline, because of its
low boiling point.
6. There are more than fifty parts
on your car that need fabrication. See
that they get it this winter.

CORN is UNDER PROBE
United States Chemists Are Max
ing Thorough Investigation.
Seek to Know Why Europe Prefers
Argentine to United States Prod
uct-veoetable Proteins Now
Being Analysed.

Washington.-In an effort to deter
mine the reason for the preference of
European countries for Argentine or
flint corn to the corn produced in the
United States the Department of Agri-
culture, through its bureau OF chemis-
try, is undertaking an extensive inves-
tigation According to w. G. Camp
bell, acting chief chemist, the investi-
CATION will be conducted through lab
oratory on crop chemistry, recently es-
tablished, which will determine if
there are any fundamental chemical
differences in the composition of flint
or hard corn and the dent corn largely
produced in the United States.
ut is known, for instance" says
Mr.. Campbell, "that the application of
certain fertilizer to crop like corn
will increase the yield quantitatively.
However, practically nothing is
known about quality relations; that
is, whether the proteins, vitamines or
mineral components of the corn fer
tilted in such way are better suited
to animal and human nutrition than
those of unfertilized corn. Varietal
differences will be studied from a
chemical standpoint.
sOne of the most important re-
searches now under way is that upon
vegetable proteins. Inasmuch as nj
trogen is an essential part of animal
tissue. and the animal can obtain
this necessary nitrogen only in the
form of protein in its food, it is OBJ
vious that this class of seeds is of
prime Importance This research in
wolves the very existence of all ami
mails and is inseparably connected
with the field Of nutrition.
1.-THE amino acids of the proteins Of
several agricultural products have
been separated and studied, with the
result that it is now possible to sup
plant such basic feeding stuffs as corn
with small quantities Of other feeds,
such as peanut meal, soy-bean meal
and coconut press cake, which con-
tain the very amino acids corn lacks,
thus making a feed that will supply
all the amino acids necessary for
growth. The practical results of this
should be a greater and more prof.
table utilization of our largest cereal
crop, corn"

EVADEs PooRHoUsE BY DYING
Long Island Resident, Aged One Hun
dred and Six, Dies an Hour Before
Time for His Removal.

Patchogue, L. death at the age
of one hundred and six years prevent
ed Joseph Vercento from being taken
to the Suffolk county almshouse. 1t
also freed temporarily at least, his
aged wife of the necessity of going to
the same institution, against which
she, as well as her husband, had been
fighting during the last years of
long life
Joseph Vercento lived with his wife,
ninety-six years old, and his son, Jo-
seph Vercento, Jr., seventy-six years
old, in shanty at West Hampstead.
Up to three years ago he had been
able to earn a pittance by doing odd
jobs. When he could work no longer,
the son became the sole support of the
family, which he supported on earn
ings of five or six dollars a week.
Recently A. G. STILL overseer OF the
poor, has been allotting the Vercento
family So a month out of the public
fund for that purpose, but several days
ago told the elder Vercento that he
would be more comfortable and better
cared for in the almshouse and ought
to go there. Vercento at first refused
to go, but gave his consent reluctantly
recently on the condition that his wife
should accompany him. The aged
couple were to have been taken there.
When Mr.. Still called to take them
to the almshouse he discovered that
the husband had died an hour before
his arrival The son said he believed
he would be able to support his mother
with some slight assistance. Mr.. Still
agreed that the township would do it's
part toward her support and charita-
bly, inclined residents of Patchogue,
when the circumstances became known
to them, volunteered to supply any de-
fciency that might be lacking.

SQUEEZING FISH FOR GASOLINE

It's hard to keep pace with the
shifting opinions of the future of pc
troleum, according to The Nation S
Business. The editorial eye is caught
by a headline: rs Fuel Stringency
Near?" and we read on:
More oil will be discovered in this
country, but that the quantity thus
made available can replace the fail
ing supply of existing fields, much
less keep pace with an ever-increasing
demand, is incredible.
The obvious deduction which the
automotiYe industry must face, un,
pleasant though it may be, is that
motor fuel is practically certain to
advance rapidly in price in the not
distant future.
We had just digested that when
another periodical unfolds before us
a story of untouched oil resources in
Northern Canada that seems suf1
cient to run all the automobiles in the
world forever.
But why worry anyhow? asks an.
other "Oil wells do go dry; their
output decreases with age. Some day
some prophet will be able to say, a
hydro-electric power and light,
greaseIess lubricants from artificial
graphite, and other results of the de-
velopment of human ingenuity will
perhaps have robbed the petroleum
prophets of all audience"
And if that is not sufficiently reas-
surfing, here's still another CLEAN of
hope A japanese scientist says he
has made synthetic petroleum out of
fish oil and clay.

which had been lost to him for all that
time. It was while Minshell was EN-.

Minshall recalled his loss and informed

they found the dollar and returned it
to Minshall, who in turn gave them an

ROMANTIC figure in interna-

In his palmiest days Richard Hard

American surgeon officer and adven-
tIrer
Ryan's home was In Scranton, Pa.
He was trained as a surgeon and as
a sanitary engineer. But early in
life fortune led him into official and
semi-official government activities
which drew him into many countries
and strange adventures. Barely
thirty-six when he died, he wore dec
orations of many countries, and he
was known by reputation or in person
to every statesman in Europe
Began in Mexico
Ryan's great adventures began in
Mexico during the Maderist revolu-
ton when he served as a medical
volunteer. He was once imprisoned
and sentenced to death, but was re-
leased at the eleventh hour through
the personal intervention of the
President
Shortly after the outbreak of the
World War, Doctor Ryan took a med
ical unit to Serbia and established
a hospital at Belgrade. Aided by an
accomplished chief nurse, Miss Mary
Gladwin Of Akron, Ohio, Ryan did a
wonderful work in combating the
first outbreak of typhus.
Director of Safety
When the Austrians first took Bel

sition as an American. became direc-
tor Of a council of safety which I'M
dertook to maintain order in the city.
Trough his powerful personal infiu-
ence he averted the threatened de.
struction of the city by the Austrian
guns.
After the Serbian debacle Ryan was
director of an American Red Cross
commission at Salonica which gave
aid to the Serbian refugees and army.
