The Code provides that before an arrest
can be made a complaint has to be filed,
and if the Judge sec fit he may issue a

happens is this: The Police go out and
arrest persons without warrant. | have
in mind a case where a mar was arrested
or the Ii Of a certain month and the
complaint was not filed until the 80 of
that said month. This is a disgraceful
incident. In consequence of all this, this

TO PENALIzE THE CARELESS
Wisconsin Industrial Commission
Would Have Reckless Pay for
Damage Caused by Fires

The justice Of penalizing individual
carelessness, when it results in fire
damage to the property Of others, is
effectively argued in the following
brief bulletin issued by the industrial
commission of Wisconsin,
A crook robs a national bank of So
100000. The entire police powers of
the state and nation are put to work
to apprehend him.
A man deliberately sets fire to a
grain elevator in which $1,000,0OO
worth of grain is stored Some fire
marshaps deputy, alone and unaided,
investigates this fire in the hope of
discovering sufficient evidence to
bring the guilty man to trial, perhaps
before jury prejudiced against cir
cumstantial evidence.
A mans sheer carelessness causes a
fire which destroys $1,000,O00 worth
Of his neighbours property. Nothing
is done to punish this man; actually
certain amount of misplaced sym
pathy is wasted on him because of his
own loss.
Why this widely different public at
titude in these three cases? asks
Safeguarding America Against Fire.
The robber can be trusted 20 put
the stolen money into circulation and,
from the economic standpoint, the
country as whole will have lost
nothing.
In the other two cases $1,000,OO0
worth Of wealth is destroyed and the
country is just that much poorer. The
people, not insurance companies, will
pay for this loss in larger insurance
premiums and higher costs Of every
thing. If the fire marshal's deputy Is
fortunate enough to prove guilt be
yond a reasonable doubt the man is
punished; but nothing is done to the
man in the third case; although the
effect in the last two cases on the
community and country is the same.
1t is right that the robber and the
incendiary should be punished; 1t is
wrong that the man whose absolute
carelessness has caused like injury

SAVE AUTO FROM
WINTER TROUBLE
Care of Finish, Engine and Bat
terry Among Most important
Items in Cold Weather.
HOT WATER QUITE INJURIOUS
Heat is One of Vital Factors in priv
ing During Severe Weather-Use
of Radiator Shutter or Cover
Is Favored.

Protecting the finish of a highly
polished car and conserving the heat
energy generated by the motor are two
highly important things to any motor
list.
Another highly important feature of
winter driving is the care of the stor-
age battery in the car.
The finish Of car may be exposed
to serious damage during winter, due
to the fact that mud and water frozen
on the paint dull the finish and cause
the paint to chip. During the winter
months extreme care should be taken
to keep the finish free from dirt. Con
trary to popular belief, hot water
should not be used in cleaning a car,
as it is equally as injurious as mud
and ice If it is not possible to take
the car into a warm place for wash
ing, where the ice will thaw and can
be easily removed lukew arm water
may be used without injury to the fin
ish
Heat Vital Factor.
Heat Is one of the all-important fac
tors in winter driving. During the
summer months the average driver has
little trouble with getting his motor
warm enough to operate smoothly and
economically, but during the winter it is
difficult for some cars to warm the mo-
tor enough to insure this efficient opera
ton.
AS a result gasoline passes by the
pistons and gets into the crank case
the gasoline does not give its maxi
mum power and the oil is not heated
to such a point where 1t will 1ubricate
the bearings and gears as it is intend
ed to do.
This passing of gasoline to the
crank case may be considerably re
duced by the use of radiator shutter
or cover for keeping the engine warm
during idle periods when it may be
left standing out of doors or in unheat-
ed garages. Numerous devices are be-
ing marketed for this purpose, ranging
from a waterproof covering to an auto
matte control shutter. A fland-operated
shutter which serves the purpose of
conserving the heat of the engine tosa
very great extent and is very economi-
cal to install can be purchased from
any reliable accessory dealer. There
are also on the market several devices
which are quickly and easily installed
and prove economical heating units.
Battery important Factor.
The storage battery of q. car Is an
all-important feature Of the operation
and one too frequently neglected. Care
should be taken at the start of the cold
weather to see that it is properly
charged. Any service station will be
glad to give you this information.
During the winter months, due to
the short days, the lights of car are
used a great deal more than in sum-
mer. The starter, also, is used consid-
erably in getting the car running when
it is cold, and this results in drawing
great deal of power from the battery.
For these reasons the battery dis
charges more quickly than in summer,
and 1t should be remembered that a
fully charged battery never freezes,
while rundown one will do SO easily.
Freezing of battery will ruin it and
cost the owner large repair bill.

Concrete Old Building Material.

concrete UTd bUIIuInH MateFIaIs
The precedent for the use Of con-
crete is at least 1000 years old, struc-
lures of old Rome having dressed
masonry facing on a concrete core. On
exposed foundations Of many ancient
structures may be seen the board
marks of forms, just as on concrete
buildings erected now in the metro
politan district, says the New York
Times. This material, withstanding
the ravages Of 1900 years, is easily
available in the form Of concrete block
or tile. Building department lists show
nearly 300 manufacturers Of concrete
units in Brooklyn alone, and there is
probably an equal number in Queens.

Old Dobbin is becoming a specimen
of tonsoriaI splendor. Never before in
history, say leading horsemen, have
Americas millions of horses received
such careful attention. In the calen-

ter of vanity, veterinarians now in

not 50 long ago that water was taboo

pneumonia and Influenza. A modern
generation clips its horses as a pre-
ventiye Of these Affections. Thus with
increase of knowledge old methods are
reversed.
Experts say clipped horses throw off
heat from the skin more easily than
the unclipped. Surplus heat places an
overload on the respiratory tract,
which, if it docs not generate pneu-
monia or some kindred i'll, often leaves
a horse with a kind of asthma known
as overhead.

Lure Quarry to Kill Itself.

In some parts of the north of Scot
land the gannet or soIan goose. is
captured for the sake of its feathers.
These birds hover 80 to go feet above
the surface Of the sea, diving from
time to time after fish that show
themselves near the top. They are
caught by means of behring's tied to
fiat boards. The bird sees the fish but
does not notice the board. Diving
from a great height it kills itself by
striking its head against the plank.

VIBRATION CAUSE OF NOISE
Where Bolts Become Loose at Base
Wrench Should Be Applied to
Make Everything Tight.

If a motor is subject to considerable
vibration there is danger of the bolts
coming loose at the base. A wrench
should be applied occasionally to make
sure that everything is tight. If this
is not attended to, almost anything
may happen, from oil leakage to
wrecked engine.
