Lady Arabella johnson

Lady Arabella was the daughter Of
Thomas. earl Of Lincoln, She married
Isaac Johnson, who left his native
land for New England from religious
motives. Lady Arabella cheerfully ac-
companied him, and they arrived at
Salem. Mass. In April. 1880. Her ex-
allied character and gentleness gained
her universal esteem. but she died in
the September following her arrival.
Mr.. Johnson survived her little more
than month. He is regarded as the
founder Of Boston. and though his
time was brief. yet the good work he
accomplished win never be forgotten

Whether you like Gov. Ted Chris
tianson or not you have to give him
credit for being governor, that he is
doing his own thinking, that he was
elected without strings. He is a
good listener, but does not take die
tation from anyone. He is carrying
out his campaign pledges to the let
ter. 1t strikes US that Ted. Chris
tianson is the right sort of man
for governor. He is big enough for
the job, which is more than can be
said of some governors Minnesota has

The work was probably done by
home talent as regular yeggs would
have blown the safes. Just who is
doing the work is a problem not yet
solved although local sleuths have
their suspicious and are working on
the cases.
Friday night somebody broke into
the Midland Lumber & Coal Co.'S
office, obtaining entrance through a
window in the main building. Moth
ing was missing although evidences
OF visitors in the business office were
left behind.
With the robbery at the creamery
recently and these three jobs it is
evident that the night providers are
getting holder and are likely to pull
off something really worth while in
the near future. 1t is more than
likely that they will get caught at
their, work some night and it will be
a stiff Jail sentence for them as a
reward.

But 1T would be a valuable contribu-
tion to motordom If more husbands
could observe the attitude of their
wives toward the family car for it

not confined to the titular head of the
typical household.
Observe any wife at the wheel of
any car. Does she take a duster in

she make any inspections of the car
to see what might be needed? Does
she seem to take any interest in 1t,
other than to squeeze out every ounce
of service that 1t can render her

Whose Is Responsibility
The average wife looks to the
average husband to keep the car in
order. Somehow, she seems to thinks
that because he seldom pitches in
with the household tasks 1t is up to
him to assume the burden demanded
by the car. There, then, Is problem

Now You Have It.

(Answers to last weeks questions.)
l. Arkansas imposes the highest
gas tax on motorists. Four cents on
every gallon.
2. A gasoline engine depends upon
its speed for its power, and it must
be turning over a certain number of
revolutions-even without load-in or
der to actuate it's valves and raise
compression to a point where the gas
vapor drawn into the cylinders will
fire. A steam engine works on an en-
tirely different principle, though It is
a cylinder, piston and valve combina-
ton, too. The steam engines power
is entirely dependent upon the pres
sure of the steam. Friction. conden-
sation and other matters tend to make
it labor when forced to pull load at
a creeping speed, but If there Is suffi-
cient steam pressure 1t will not stall.
3. The first practical electric self
starter appeared on a 1912 model. The
battery to operate II measured 10x10x20
inches and was fastened to the run
ming board so that IL would be acces-
sible for operating the switch neces-
sary to shift from s to "a volt circuit
when using the starter II the same
grade of gasoline were used then as
now the starter probably would not
have been practical.

Would Stimulate Progress.

Motor progress in America Is suf-
fering from the want of definite con-
victions, according to those who see
unnecessary losses in too much vari-
ance of opinion as to design and me-
chanical principles.
Engineers, for instance, who have
made exhaustive tests of present
models on the automotiYe counter
state that large number of mechani-
cal principles still found incorporated
in many cars are already obsolete.
Yet thousands of dollars are wasted
annually in an effort to preserve the
old order of things, excluding what
the public spends in order to stand
by the old guards. 81
The motoring public Is said to be
entirely to blame for this situation.
Most car owners. it is pointed out, Ia
Dor under the delusion that their own
car is the best to be had for the
money and that the featuresit carries,
even though behind the times, are
plenty good enough.
Owners, for example, very rarely
complain of any dissatisfaction with
new principles when they happen to
be incorporated in the cars they buy.
In fact, they are usually enthusiastic.
Yet if someone else is enthusiastic
about something that they haven't as
yet become acquainted with they are
plainly skeptical.
Definite convictions, progressive
engineers say, would make a vast
difference in American motoring. En-
gineers have their standards, and
when they are in doubt they get busy
and see who's right. The average mo-
torist on the other hand. seems to
feel that he would be assuming a
great loss to discover and to be con-
vinced that he was not getting the
most out of motoring because of
driving a car with obsolete features.
Until the average motorist realizes
that the minority of progressives are
always getting twice as much out of
their motoring the situation is not ex-
pected to be materially different.

Old Auto Engine

What becomes of the old automobile

100000 miles is a question often ask
ed by motorists. drummer travel
ing recently on a new chain-drive
ferryboat, running between New
Rochelle and Glen Island. N. Y, offers
a bit of enlighTening information.
Conversation with the engineer of
that vessel, he said, revealed the fact
that its sole motive power was an
old four-cylinder Cadillac engine,
built in 1913. This engine was dis
covered at a garage in New Rochelle,
part of the remains of a wrecked
car. The chassis was cut loose from
the wheels and set up amidships on
a wooden base in the boat.
While the engine originally was
built to haul seven passengers, 1T
now hauls as many as 500 a trip,
making as high as 100 trips a day.
The fuel consumption is said to be
from five to eight gallons of gasoline
a day, depending upon how many
trips are made.

In it's fullest sense. Blank doesn't

travel a road that he knows abso-

home life feels trifie uneasy when

radiator repairer for battery trouble

Three Traffic Tricks.

Keep the left front window of the
closed car down a few inches when
driving through traffic so that you
can signal complete directions to Of
fcer or other motorists instantly.
You have too much else to do without
counting on turning the window
openers in an emergency.
If there is a smoking exhaust di-
rectly in front of you and traffic Is
blocked, less of the dangerous fumes
will come up into your car IL you
switch off your engine while wait
ing. The fan of your motor acts as
a suction pump, pulling the fumes
where they're not wanted.

standard plan. One half cannot be
truly successful with the other half

If the family has got to forego the
pleasure of meeting nature on some
fine Summer afternoon just because
IL forgot the Importance of treating
the car with all the respect one has
for home, it's a foregone conclusion
that the house will be nothing but
bore. The situation is just as bad
as that to be found in cases where
the car gets so overworked that the
family returns to the house to find
the icebox empty and the cat strayed

curtain tassels.
No Longer Stops mt Front Door.

Purely a matter of ignorance Of the
fact that the home no longer stops at
the front door. The ajority of peo-
pie now have a composite home, but
until they discover that the car is the
better half the idea isn't going to
make much headway. All the motor
list needs to do Is to study the house
half of the proposition. Ideas will
come to him in a food.
For example, he will see that one
reason why he attends to the leak In
the radiator pipe Immediately is be-
cause he knows that to let IL slide
would mean courting the additional
trouble of spoiiing the wall paper and
the flooring. II allowed to run on
indefinitely, the leak might easily
damage some of the furniture. He
believes In prevention, so he has the
trouble remedied before 1T develops
into something worse or encourages
follow-up troubles. All this Is In
striking contrast to his way Of han
ding similar matter on the car. If
the radiator leaks, he does not bother
to consider what neglect OF this might
mean to the engine itself.
Many a motorist drives along de-
pending upon slipping his clutch to
compensate for rzar skipping engine.
Would he use an oriental. rug to plug
up a leak in the roof of his house?
A dozen striking instances couio De
given to show that the average
motorist is illogical when he comes
to continue his home life on the high
way, but this is sufficient to show
that the trouble. is largely a matter
Of failure to recognize the similarity
between the two mediums of home.
Car ownership will never come into
It's own until this similarity becomes
as familiar as the total of two plus
two.
Feeling at Home In the, Car.
How many motorists feel at, home
In their cars? Here Is another point
that needs to be. brought into focus.
John Blank can sit by the fireside and
feel at peace with tke-worid, but too
frequently he sits at the wheel of his
car and wonders. whether he's going
to get home without hooking his
watch. The difference Is this: Sitting

AVOID CURBs IN PARKING

There are many reasons why the

hush against the curb, but one of
these is likely to be overlooked. If

One thing usually overlooked in
discussing the present popularity of
different makes of cars, as well as
their. future is the size of the sales
territory. Up to December, 1924, a
car that has won all kinds of con-
tests, and one that is known to every
motorist, rolled up the remarkable
sales record of one in the state of
Vermont for the year. In the first
l. months of the year car that is
singularly successful brought two
orders from Vermont, yet sold in the
amount of 50 in the State of Rhode
