DOUBT
by Cornelius Beekman-

For the Autumn Wedding
I. nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Is it proper for the bride to
wear long white kid gloves with
a short-sleeved dress at a fall
wedding? The bride will be
dressed in white, but will not
wear a veil. 1t will be a church
wedding to take place in the
morning.
(2l Is it correct for the groom.
best man and ushers to wear
gloves with plain blue or gray
suits?
90 What color tie would be best
suited for the occasion? "B."
RI is proper and is the most
\ formal attire. But lately, as a
matter Of fact, gloves are not so
much worn by either the bride or
her attendants. At the most for.
NAL weddings lately 1 have no.
ticed that the bride wears long
white kid gloves, but that the
bridesmaids (even with the very
formal costumesl usually do not
wear gloves. The two elements
that determine whether or not the
bride wears goves are: First land.
really more Important the fact
that the harmony Of the costume
demands it; and, second, the for
mality Of the wedding and of the
wedding dress. But really the
bride can do as she chooses, and
still be correct.
Since, in the case you mention,
the bride is not wearing a veil
and therefore is not dressing for
mally, should advise her not to
wear gloves.
(2) No. With these informal
suits gloves would be out-of-place
and inconsistent. They would EN-.
phasize the informality of the at.
tire.

Two PARKING Pointers

"No Parking" signs are frequently
unofficial and for that reason 1t is
we'll to form the habit of distinguish
ing police regulations from the de-
crees Of individuals or business
houses
In some instances an unofficial mo
Parking sign may he disregarded
with perfect safety, as for instance
near the entrance of hotel where
tho sign is obviously to reserve space
for guests cars and Where the
motorist qualities. In other instances
the unofficial warning must be con-
sidered carefully. If the car is left
at the marked spot it may be DAM
aged through some hazard the
motorist hasn't figured on, as for
instance where it is near the de-
livery entrance to a business house.
An unofficial sign is frequently set
up by n crank" whose sole enjoy
ment in life is to take the number
of the offending" car and cause an
noyance for it's owner.
\ point to consider when parking
n cor on hill is whether the driver
of the car behind has left the ma
chine with wheels pointed in. RI not.
il is worth while to move on to an
other space where the car behind is
not likely to present a hazard.
Many car starts coasting downhill
OF its own accord. and the car
ahead usually gets the benefit OF the

The Old Mechanic Saws.

Coin by rules blindly is often an
expensive habit for the car owner.
I've always maintained this, but this
mornin' | saw another evidence of 1t
and now I've got to let myself out
on the subject.
Brown found that there had been
quite change in the weather and
wanted to regulate his carburetor
mixture to meet the new conditions
in temperature. Havin' turned off
quite cold he figured that startin'
would be easier with a richer mix
ture. but decided not to touch the
carburetor until the engine had bee II
started and warmed up.
why don't YOU turn the adjust
ment notch or two now" asked
him, as he commenced wearin' out
his battery III n hopeless effort to
crank the fuel-starved engine.
Rule says you shouldn't touch the
carburetor when the engines cold"
he explained. And then proceeded
TO give UP the job of startin' the
bus
IT was an opportune time 10 ex-
plain TO him that he wasn't applyin'
the rule sensihly. Owners are warn
ed against foolin' with the carburetor
when the engine is cold because If
they don't know which way to turn
the adjustments they'll get hopeless
1y off normal and not be able TO start
without calling for an expert. But
this isn't sayin' that tho driver
shouldn't mako an adjustment before
startin' when he knows which way to
turn the adjustment and how many
rotches to so.

600 cars on Dec. Is, capped the cli-
max of the most remarkable year
that WHY'S Overland has had, year
replete with sensational success that
has returned this organization TO its
place far in the forefront among the
leaders Of the motor car industry.
Mr.. WHY'S coupled this announce
ment with the statement that WHY'S
Overland expects 70 break every one
Of its 1898 records in 1924 with pro-
duction which at present indicates a
probable sale OF 100000 cars.
WHY'S Overland created the hrst OF
its series of unusual announcements
in 1923 with the appearance OF its
new WHY'S Knight coupe-sedan at
the New York show.
The new product was a novelty in
automobile manufacture-not coupe.
not a sedan. not a coach-but a dis
tinctly original and individual crea-
ton in motor car design. the first of
series Of refreshing departures
which marked Willys-Over'and's

Dust Mountain to
Become Ford Engines

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 4-For more
than three years the Ford Motor
company at its River Rouge plant
here has been saving dust until to-
day a veritable mountain OF it con-
tanning at least $4,000 tons, stands
out in imposing proportions at one
place on the plant grounds.
OF course, it isn't dust in the or
dinariy accepted terms, but a much
| more valuable property.
1t is blast furnace dust, fine,
sand-like substance which is blown
from the furnaces in the blast and
utterly worthless in that state, but
!, valuable because 500 of it is iron ore.
The other 50Ge is coke dust.
So the Ford Motor company has
been saving it until the time came
when the iron ore could be re-
claimed. and in examples Of the
value of little savings this certainly
, stands out as among the most strik-
ing.
A moments figuring will show it.
OF the $4,000 tons in the dust noun
tain at River Rouge. Aoed or 25,0oo
tons is iron ore In dust form. The
Ford model r cylinder casting when
finished weighs So pounds. and re
claiming Of the 25.oO0 tons of iron
ore dust means sufficient iron for
! more than 100000 cylinder castings.
: The company now has started 10
reclaim this dust through the new
sintering plant which has just begun
! opera tons and which forms another
highly interesting feature of the Rv-
CIR Rouge activities.
The sintering plant 9 model of ef-
fciency is erected in close proximity
to the two big blast furnaces and
joins the giant ore bins from which
the furnaces are fed.
The furnace dust. caught up in
suction conveyors. is carried directly
to the sintering plant and there is
mixed with cast iron horinss gather
ed from the various Ford manufac-
turing units.
Conveyors also carry the mixed
dust and borings TO tine plant and
dump the mixture into the sintering
pan which is OF three ton capa city.
\ gas fame of intense neat is passed
over the dust and the action Of the
coke, under this heat and the suction
draft fuses the mixture into CHUNKS
+ of sufficient size and weight for use
in the furnace and thus the iron ore
in the dust is reclaimed.
Ford sinter as produced at the new
River Rouge plant is Of finer quality
than any on the market. running be-
tween 20 and IS percent iron. II Is
considered an important blast fur
mace material and because Of its per
Gus nature permits better and more
effective operation OF the blast with
the result that the furnace product
is more uniform and therefore a
higher quality iron for the castings.
An average of fifty tons Of blast
furnace dust comes fiom the two
furnaces daily. The sinterng plant
will produce more than $50 tons Of
sinter a day. due to the mixture Of
iron borings and dust. which speeds
up the process. reducing the sintering
period from 20 or so minutes under
ordinary circumstances to about
seven minutes. At least 100 tons are
being taken every day from the great
mountain of dust which the company
has been saving and is estimated that
at this rate Il will take a year and
half to use UP the mountain and turn
il into Ford iron.

Just Some Suggestions

An electric fan in the sedan to
promote better circulation Of air
when a heavy rain makes it impos-
sible to drive, with the windows
let down. Enough current is geuer-
ated' to run light fan for the time
required to stir up the air.
A gas line lock so that even
though the engine may be started
when the machine is left in a pub
lie garage it cannot run longer than
it takes to consume the gas in the

people to move the car If necessary,
and drive it out into the street in
event of fire. But JOY riding is pre-
vented.

Observations

When you hear some motorists
describe the hills their cars will
climb It's easy enough to understand
why Webster sanctioned two Gees"
in exaggeration.
II only the appreciation for the
new models could offset some of the
depreciation.
If the automobile could talk 1t
would probably declare that 1t has
more .Nrenches in its steering gear
than in its tool-kit.
Every car buyer to his own taste

some get a dash Of lemon without

When the typesetter accidentally
makes can" out of "car" he isn't
always so far wrong at that.
