Rich Jewels in Graves.

The practice of burying jewelry with
the body Of a relative or friend is an
expression of sentiment which NOR.

KEEPING OUT MOTHS

MOTHS are the housewives deadly
AVA enemies. They are Of no possible
use. They are persistent and destruc-
tive pests. They delight to get into
closets, bureau drawers, trunks and
to eat holes In any wooden fabrics they
can get at. They seem TO have an infal-
lible and diabolical ability to pick the
best and the most valuable material,
The average housewife is a firm be-
lever in the value of a cedar chest
or wardrobe in protecting clothes from
moths. Like many other popular be-
liefs, this is based largely on tradition
handed down from one generation TO
another.
But now comes the cold and un-
biased scientific mind to whom nothing
is sacred until II is proven. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has turned two of its experts
loose on the moth problem, and we'll

over. destroy enough fabrics to amount
TO millions Of dollars loss every year.
After exhaustive experiments last
ing over year Frank Rabok and

the Department of Agriculture, report
that cedar chests are not an absolute
protection against moths,

is, If there are no moths or moth eggs
in the clothes before they are put
away. The chest will not kill them or
keep them from growing. If tightly
made and kept shut, it will keep any
new moths from getting in from out
side after the clothes are put away.
The chest should remain tightly
closed, they say. except when clothing
is being taken out or put in. This,
should be done as rapidly as possible.

THE MOTHERS TEN COM
MANDMENTS

OUR best crop is our baby crop.
- This is naturally so, for corn or
wheat, cattle or hogs, cotton or bay
are only of value as they supply the
needs and desires of human beings.
Whatever mistakes the present gem
Grafton or its predecessors may have
made, we all want the coming genera
happier and healthier lives.
So whether we believe that the
world is getting worse or getting bet
ter, every real man and woman is in
terested In babies. One of the most
striking differences between savage
and civilized life is the increased care
which civilized community gives TO
the two helpless extremes of life. the
babies and the aged.
This increased interest in babies is
found not only in individuals but in
governments as we'll 1t is only

partment of child welfare to care for
and protect the health of its babies.

The health department in Chicago,
our second largest city, is particularly
interested in this baby work The
commissioner of health, Doctor Bundle
sen, has just published 6S-page book
for mothers and has distributed 3OO.OOO
copies to the mothers of Chicago.
To repeat all the good advice to
mothers in these 6S pages Is impos-
sible. But the ten commandments for
mothers ought to be read and followed
by mothers everywhere. They are:
/. Thou shalt not deprive thy baby
of breast milk unless it is absolutely
necessary.
2. Thou shalt not give thy baby
soothing sirups or sleeping powders
8. Thou shalt not take the advice OF
friends or neighbors in feeding thy
baby, as no two need the same food.
A. Thou shalt not allow thy baby to
sleep in the same bed with anyone
else.
S. Thou shalt not be afraid of fresh
air.
6. Thou shalt not treat thy baby as
plaything nor show him off to friends
or relatives or neighb0rs.
Z. Thou shalt not kiss thy baby on
the mouth nor allow anyone else to
do so.
8. Thou shalt not scold or grumble,
especially before meals.
9. Thou shalt not spoil thy baby by
humoring him.
10. Thou shalt not expose thy baby
to colds or to any other contagious
disease.

Use of Accelerator Is
Cause of Waste of Gas

The owner will tell you that his car
shows considerably more fuel con-
sumption when he drives around city
streets than it does when driving is
done in the country. The reason is the
frequent starts and stops, acceleration
and little continuous driving all re-
quire a great deal of fuel. II has been
shown that even heavy cars. those
weighing more than $500 pounds, can

if the operating conditions are right.
On fixed throttle a car will show less
fuel consumption than on variable
throttle movement; that Is. If the ac-
,elerator pedal is pressed and released
alternately as some drivers control it
1t will require more fuel to do given
work. Even slight acceleration en-
'iches the mixture On a long steady
lrive one may cut the fuel down enor-
nously by a careful and not too fire.

Urges Courtesy on Road
as Big Safety Measure

Courtesy on the road among motor
lists is akin to safety, and new cour-
tesy series of suggestions is now be-
ing issued for the thousands of motor
lists in this section of the country.
Lack of courtesy, it is pointed out,
often leads to recklessness, which in
turn leads to accidents. Therefore.
motorists are asked to read the fol
lowing courtesy rules and see if they
wish them:
l. When man approaching you
from behind sounds his horn as q
signal that he wishes to pass, don't
step on it." Draw over to the right
and let him go by
2 Do not use more than your halt
Of the road, thus crowding others into
the ditch.
g. 1t is not courteous to steal" a
parking space from a man who is just
getting ready to back into it.
A. Do not imagine that every motor
list on the road who tries to pass you
is starting race. He may be on i'm
portant business.
5. When you pass a man from be-
hind going in the same direction, do
not cut in directly in front of him.
This is discourteous.
6. DO not shove another mons car
along the curb to make room for
yours, thus tanning his car against q
tireplug or the car ahead.

CARE OF YOUR CAR
IN COLD WEATHER
Draining Crank Case Often
Is Important During
Winter Months.

Much damage and loss of time may
easily result from the neglect of your
automobile during the winter months.
A few suggestions are offered by the
mechanical engineering department of
the Colorado State Agricultural col
lege, which if followed will result in
not only saving of money and time
but also in the lengthening of the life
of your automobile engine.
Drain the crank case oil often, for
two reasons, first because a good
deal of gasoline is not burned when
using the choker in starting and
passes by the pistons, thinning the
crank case oil. This thin oil is not a
good lubricant and may cause prema-
ture wear and possibly allow the bear
ings to burn out Sometimes the oil
may actually seem to increase in
quantity without any fresh oil being
added, but a decided loss in body or
thinning may also be noted.
Water Collects In Crank Case.
Second: If you have ever allowed
your breath to blow against the inside
of a window pane on cold day, you
have noticed that there Is a consider
able quantity of moisture formed on
the inside of the glass. This is what
happens on the inside of the crank
case Of an engine; because the en-
CINE also ''breathes" due to the move
ment of the pistons in the cylinders.
The water which collects on the in
side of the crank case does not mix
with the cylinder oil but settles to the
bottom, usually collecting around the
intake screen of the oil pump.
This water sometimes freezes and
closes the screen, so that even with
plenty of oil in the engine, none of
it will get to the places where it is
needed.
Use Care in Grade Of Oil.
Do not be satisfied with your own
Judgment as to what grade or weight
of oil to use. Be guided by the in
structions of the car manufacturers,
or better still, the oil company from
whom you buy your OIL Several of
the large oil companies Issue book
lets of information which are given
away free of charge.
If 1t becomes quite hard to shift
gears in very cold weather, add about
a pint of warm cylinder oil to the
transmission just before driving your
car. This will thin out the transmits
sion grease or oil so that the gears
may be more easily shifted. When
warm weather approaches, drain the
thin oil, and refill with the proper
weight Of lubricant.-E. B. Dale, De-
partment of Mechanical Engineering,
Colorado State Agricultural College.

Construction of Roads
in Arkansas Progresse

There is excellent progress through
out Arkansas in road building.
In 1924 a total of 1896 miles of i'm
proved highways were completed and
1t is estimated that between seven and
ten million dollars will be expended
by the state highway department dur
ing the present season and that ap-
proximately 1000 men will be en-
ployed. This will bring the states
mileage from virtually nothing in 1915
to more than 5000 miles at the end
of the first ten-year period of modern
highway building in Arkansas
The formal opening and dedication
of the Little Rock-Hot Springs high
way, which has just taken place, was
one Of the most important events in
the highway building history Of Ar
kansas.

POOR ROADS URGE IS
TOO MUCH SPEED

There is a connection between good
roads and safety" says Charles M.
Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor
club. when new road is built it is
generally the practice to see that It
is properly marked, that curves are
gentle or that they are unprecedented,
that as many railroad crossings as
possible are avoided in other words,
the highway engineers of today bring
to bear. upon their work knowledge
of accident prevention.
''It does not matter what kind of a
road the new road is, If 1t is merely
changing COW path into a country
lane, the builders of the lane will elm
mate some of the hazards that ex-
listed on the COW path. Roads have
a close relation to time and time is
related to safety. We have only time
to spend, we live and have our being

oned not SO much in distance as in
roads.

books in the forlorn hope that our
