EFFICIENCY And
SAFETY OF CARS
Numerous Devices Add to
Comfort and Satisfac-
ton of Owner.

1t Is difficult to believe that the OIL
pressure gauges and he ampere-me-
tiers which now appear on the instru-
ment boards of virtually all makes of
cars were once regarded by many as
unnecessary frills. Today there are
number Of accessories being offered
which are similarly regarded, which is
the same as saying that they would
be appreciated II only their advan-
tages were better known.
BY equipping a car with some of
these f1tments, greater satisfaction, ef-
fciency and safety will result. Add
front and rear bumpers 10 the car, at
tach one Of the many rear signaling
devices, keep set Of anti-skid chains
handy and the car will be enormously
benefited in proportion to the cost of
the protection. Frequently such safe
" devices add TO the cars appearance
and thus not only help protect the
owners original investment, but add
to II. A spotlight attached 10 the
windshield and played upon the road
may prevent wrecking the car In a
ditch.
Take efficiency as another instance.
A car that is operated without proper
regulation Of the cooling system Is at
all times running inefficiently. This
is especially true In winter when the
engine is constantly operated at the
wrong temperature, either boiling over
because the radiator Is covered with
the lap-robe or running cold because
there is no covering at all. The mar
ket now offers several radiator covers
with openings which can be operated
from the dash.
Along the efficiency line are other
devices which are destined to filter
the gasoline before II is admitted to
the carburetor, thus preventing the
entrance of dirty or watered gasoline
TO the carburetor or engine. A device
Of this character may pay for itself
within a month after 1t is installed.
Then there are shock absorbers.
which in addition to giving greater
riding comfort, save the springs from
breakage on the rebound and thus in
preventing breakdowns. Even cut
outs which were at one time regarded
as toys for the speed maniacs are now
shown to have very important use. =
Regardless Of the selling points OF
each accessory or all Of them as
group, II is fact that any one Of
them adds TO the secondhand value Of
a car. So the motorist not only has
the use of the accessories with which
he equips his car and the savings on
insurance, Inconvenience, repair bills,
etc, but he gets a return premium
when he goes to sell the car.

Editor of "HEALTH"

HAY FEVER AND ASTHMA
FROM PLANTAIN

IT'S a queer fact that, when man
once begins to look for knowledge,
he generally finds more than he ex-
poets. Evidence has been accumulat-
Ing for years past to show that both
hay fever and asthma are due to irri-
tation to the nose, throat and lungs
from breathing air that Is strongly
charged with the pollen or seeds of
number Of wild plants. Ragweed.
thistle. golden rod, the grasses such
as blue grass. timothy and many other
plants have all been tried and found
guilty of producing these two plaques
to man.
Now comes another offender, hither-
to unsupported Dr. FL. S. Benton of
Washington finds that one of the most
common plants of the District of Co
lumbia. plantain or rib grass, as 1t Is
commonly called. Is the cause of early
hay fever and asthma, and that some
persons are unusually susceptible to 1t.
Plantain or rib grass Is found all
over the United States. Like the Eng
lish sparrow, 1t prefers towns to coun-
try. 1t Is found along streets and road
sides, on vacant lots and on dump
heaps. 1t ripens and gives off pollen
freely from about May tenth TO Au-
gust first. The pollen grains are very
small and easily carried by the wind.
The greatest production of seeds takes
place during the night, especially on
quiet nights. When the breeze begins
to blow in the morning, the pollen is
carried by the wind. If 1t rains early
in the morning, the pollen is dampened
and carried to the ground, so purify
ing the air.
This explains the curious fact, often
noted, that hay fever and asthma suf-
ferers always feel better after a rain
and change in the direction of the
wind.
Hay fever and asthma are the re-
suits of irritation of the lining men,
branes of the nose In one case. and OF
the bronchial tubes in the other. This
irritation is caused by something in
the air which the patient breathes. 1t
may De the pollen from any or dozen
or more plants, as in one form of the
disease. 1t may be due to the dust
given off by animals, as In cases due
to horse dander In which the patient
cannot come near horses without being
affected. Or 1t may be caused by some
chemical irritant. as formalin, bromine,
or chlorine gas.
Generally speaking, hay fever or
asthma patient is only sensitive to one
form of irritation. If horse dander
causes an attack, chlorine gas will not
affect him. If ragweed pollen makes
him sneeze and wheeze, other plants
will not bother him.
So IL you have hay fever or asthma,
find out what particular kind of irri-
tation causes 1t. and then stay away
from 1t.

Shabby Tires Are Not
Favored for Any Car

Shabby tires on a good-looking car
Yet stand on any street corner today
and count the number of patched-up,
dilapidated tires which are being used
TO the last mile. The cost of keeping
these tires running for a few thou
sand miles would nearly pay for new
ones. Mileage such as this comes
high
Tire conservation does not mean
picking up decrepit tire and putting
it back into service at a big repair
cost just to save a little rubber left
in the tread. 1t means taking care of
the tire from the first so that 1t will
be able to deliver all the mileage built
into 1t by the maker When tires are
so far worn that they are soon to
blow, 1t is poor economy to repair
them. Such a course means sacrifice
Of the inner tube as-well
Cheap, makeshift patches, boots and
temporary repairs of all kinds are now
being called into use as never before,
but patching up an old casing in which
separation of fabric plies has already
begun, cannot give the freedom from
tire trouble on which the pleasure In
motoring so largely depends.

DIG FOR RELICS

borough castle, near Deal, which work
is designed partly to solve the mys-
terry of great pile Of concrete sub
stance within the center of the ruins,
the Boston Transcript says.
Bronze brooches and pins, believed
to have been used by the women of
those days for fixing up their hair,
were unearthed recently, as well as
parts of bronze statues, chains and an
embossed gold ornament, also probably
worn by women. About ninety Ro-

Tying in Spring Leaves
Will Prevent Spreading

Since the leaves In a spring have a
tendency to spread apart, 1t Is often
hard to replace the spring tie-bolt in
autos or trucks.
The easy way is to grip the head of
the tie-bolt In wise, and put all but
the last four leaves one on top of the
other. The last four leaves are put on
crosswise, or spread around like the
ribs Of an umbrella, which allows the
nut to be easily started on the bolt.
With the nut on the bolt. swing the
bottom cross leaf into place. Then
each succeeding leaf will slide easily
into position. Then tighten the tie
bolt nut. OF course, the clamps on
each end will have to be removed un-
til the spring is assembled.

Sikhism Newest Religion

About 100000 residents of north
western India In the Punjab district
are followers of the newest religion
of accepted standing, as differentiated
from passing modern fads or cults.
The teaching arose from the profess
sion of young Hindu prophet about
the time of Luther. 1t differed from
Christianity in the belief of transmit
grafton and fatalism. Militarism was
added in self-defense when other Hin
du tribes attacked the Sikhs. The
Sikhs reject idols. caste, wine tobacco
and infanticide. They are a sturdy.
rugged type not found elsewhere In
India.

Running downhill recently a driver
found to his utter surprise that
motor truck, supposedly at rest In the
downhill position on the right side of
the road, was actually going uphill
backwards. The driver could not get

nearly lost control of his machine try

he was not prepared to expect most
anything nowadays. The truck driver
was utilizing the lower gear ratio of
reverse in order to enable the engine
to pull up an extra heavy load.

Terrific Storm Does
Great Damage On Shore

A terrific storm prevailed generally
on the Atlantic coast for two days
this week, doing much damage to
shipping and shore property.
Locally besides, depressing effect
upon business, no material damage
was done. 1t was a good house that
resisted the driving rain, and it is like
ly many cellars were flooded.
Telephone and telegraph wires and
poles suffered, and many could be seen
depressed at acute angles, or lying
prone on the ground. Pocomoke City
for short while on Wednesday even
ing was in total darkness, but light
was soon restored.
At Ocean City the storm was furi-
Gus. The surf, at points, broke clear
across the land and poured into Sine
puXent Bay, but, protected by the jet
ties no damage was done and the re-
sort is intact
The Sun has hidden itself for three
days and its revealing will be well
coined by rain soaked community.
