ONE WAY TO SAVE POWER.

II you have no occasion to leave
the car standing around in the cold
and are thus not using alcohol in the
radiator, IT is permissible on many
makes of cars to remove the fan belt
when the thermometer is low. Not
only will the engine benefit by run
ming at more normal temperature,
but the release of the fan will tighten
Its burden. Every saving in power
Is doubly valuable in Winter.

TIP ON LUBRICATING.

Jack up the front wheels when lu-
bricating the steering knuckle bolts.
This takes the weight of the car off
the bearings and means that quicker
results are had from the oiling or
ereasing.

OIL AT BRAKE BANDS.

Oil at the brake bands is a cue to
suspect that the differential not only
needs heavier grease, but more OF it.
It isn't just a matter OF stopping the
leak and cleaning the brake bands.

AHEAD OF ONES SIGHT.

That a corner will always be
reached sooner at night, or will seem
to be, Is evidence apienty that most
people exceed their eyesight in night
driving. Plainly a case of outdriving
vision.

Whistler's Architect
Denied Immortality

Whistler's house in Cheyne walk,
Chelsea, London, on which a memorial
tablet is being fixed, recalls the cpl
Sode of the artists proposed residence
in Tite street He had acquired
piece of ground adjoining Chelsea hos
pital, and after prolonged wrangling
with long suffering architect, depart
ed for the south Of France until the
building operations were completed
The result to Whistler on his return
vas agony. He stormed, he fumed, he
attempted to repudiate the contract,
but the architect was obdurate. He
must accept possession and he must
pay.
Whistler would not for single day
live in the house; but before selling it
ne had placed above the door stone
tablet with the inscription unless
the Lord build the house, they labor
in vain that build it. Mr. x (the
architect) built this house,
Nobody seems to know how or when
the inscription was got rid of, but al
though the house still stands to offend
the eye-a monstrosity in whitewash,
the stone tablet above the door has
been carefully RACED and no doubt
wholly respectable profession is ex-
Guided from that particular class of
the lmmortals whose Immortality is
none the less real for resting on the
abuse of the great. New YORK Wor.9

Dupont moving up points in the first few minutes of trading, Loose Wiles Bis cult advancing point and Standard Milling breaking through to new 1925 high level.
 The market broadened as trading progressed with several points of strength developing in the motor and food shares. General Railway Signal quickly added nearly { points to its recent sensational gain by touching new high 171%, as com pared with an initial price of IA a few days ago. Mack Trucks was bid up ? points before the end of the first half hour and gains of a point or more were registered in that per- iod by Hudson Motors and willys Overland preferred.
 Heavy buying Of the steel shares which advanced Ito 3 points on re- ports Of improved trade conditions, overshadowed all other develop ments in today's abbreviated session of the stock market. The sensation al advance in General Railway sig nal, which exteneded its early gain to 9 points, and the strength of Westinghouse Air Brake. which moved up over points, was gener- ally attributed to expectations of large earnings through the sale of automatic train control devices that recently have been ordered on sev- eral railroads.
