Owner Reports 5000 Miles of
Travel Without Changing
Water in Radiator

A most extraordinary feat for a
motor car, in which a Chrysler
demonstrated its camel-like quail
ties by going halfway around the
world on single supply of water,
was recently reported to j. w.
Nikart, Chrysler dealer in South
Bend, Ind.
Last September a Chrysler road
ster was sold to Norman A. Park
err of South Bend. After driving 1t
5000 miles in the United States and
Canada, he took it to New Zealand.
In a letter just received from Mr..
Parker, he wrote: II brought 1t
out to New Zealand with me, and
it has excited admiration where
ever l have been. The water you
put in the radiator is still there,
and I have not so far found it
necessary to add one drop"
Mr.. Parker's experience reveals a
quality in the Chrysler that has ex-
cited the comment of many other
Chrysler owners as well. That
quality is the efficient cooling sys-
tenn.
Extra large water passages COM
pletely surround each cylinder and
valve of the Chrysler motor. They
give a minimum of one-half inch
clear water circulation space be-
tween each cylinder. Moreover. the
casting of the block is so designed
as to insure no possibility of OBJ
structed or CONSTRUCTED water pas
sages.
Consequently, overheating is a
negative factor in the Chrysler
The Washington times., 1925-04-29

The amount of this loss per car
owner is conspicuous even when
considering a mere days run, and
the aggregate loss as shared by
motorists in general is staggering.
When the average driver jams on
his brakes he feels that the only
expense involved Is the wear on
the brake Innings and on the tires,
If they slide. He does not realize
that the real loss is measured by
the amount Of momentum he kills.
Every time the brakes are applied
il costs the motorist so much for
gasoline wasted.
A cars momentum Is sometimes
developed without cost, as for
example when it is coasting down
hill, but in normal running its
momentum is deve:oped- at the cost
of engine power or fuel. The
engine is called into play to force
the car to a speed of, say, twenty
five miles an hour, and if that
speed is then killed by sudden APP
plication of the brakes it is the
same as wasting the power-and
fuel-which was used TO attain that
speed. For the most part in driv-
Ing it requires engine power for
the car to attain momentum, and
the more this momentum is con-
served the less it will cost the
driver to motor.
A Frequent Sight.
A frequent sight anywhere is to
witness a driver start car from
a standstill, race 1t through the
gears and then come to a dead stop
at the next corner when he knows
all the while that he will be
obliged to stop. Because he starts
off at too fast speed he reaches
the crossing too soon, with the re-
suit that this extra speed obliges.
him to waste all the momentum
that the engine has consumed gas

The running board of the car
is the favorite location for carrying
luggage of the motor tourist or
camper. There are many running
board luggage carriers available to-
day, which vie with each other in
convenience and utility. Tt is
merely a question of selecting the
type that will best serve the indi-
vidual needs.
One of the popular types of car
rier for the running board employs
two or three posts, clamped to the
board, with expanding sides, per-
hitting adjustment to any width
needed. All types Of carrier have
some means or other to prevent the
luggage from scratching the body
finish of the car.
Clamp System.
One very simple type of carrier
consists of clamps bolted to the
running board, with adjustable
straps, which are carried over the
luggage to hold it snug. The adj
vantage Of this type lies in its abil-
ity to handle any shape OF bag,
trunk or even barrel.
In addition to running board car
riers, we have the familiar trunk
rack at the rear Of the car. 1t is
possible to. get trunk rack to

That Friendly Criticism.

to tell you about ever since I've
known you. | feel | know you well

with you frankly. You do have rather
bad taste in the matter Of hats, and

Whereupon Mary arose in her wrath
and became very biting and insulting
at Anne's expense, naming several
minor improvements she could sug-
gest on her friends general appear
ance, and ending up with the state
ment that If Anne had any more critl-
cisms to make, she might make them
out of earshot.
One really couldn't blame her for
being so indignant Anne had GER
tainly been most tactless in her com
ment on the hats.
But still, if Mary was wise girl.
she didn't let the matter rest there.
She didn't dismiss Anne's speech as
a piece of trnwarrantable rudeness.
II she had any sense at all, she
looked things over pretty carefully
and took stock of her wardrobe.
Were her hats too bright? Did they
spoil the smart effect rof her black
dresses and her dark suits? Was she
unconsciousiy doing just the very
thing she most dreaded-calling at
tention to one particular part of her
costume and so spelling the whole
effect?
That should have been her line of
self-inquiry. and if. after the cross
examination. she found herself guilty,
she should have been very grateful to
her friend, tactless though Anne may
have been.
But nine out of ten girls in Mary's
position would have done nothing so
sensible.
They would have shifted for some
time afterward whenever Anne's name
was mentioned. They would there
after have, considered her a fault

business to be telling other people how
to dress when she gave no signs of
knowing much about the subject her

If only you girls would pause when
a friendly criticism is offered-no mat
ter how brutally your adviser may put
it--and reflect that maybe there's
something in this piece of advice,
you'd find your selfimprovement a
good deal swifter.
Instead of letting your personal
feelings overcome you, just ignore
that personal part of the business and
take the criticism thoughtfully, ask
ing yourself whether you've been
guilty of something you knew moth
ing about.
II is so very hard not to resent ad-
vice from girls we feel are no better
than ourselves. But it is very often
the most valuable advice in the world,
and by accepting our friends criti-
ciSms and making constructive use

Distorp of Dour Same
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NowLAN.
WEYLAND
VARIATION-WayIand.
RACIAL ORIGIk-Dutch.
SOURCE-A locality.

There is little about these family
names to indicate that their origin is
Dutch and not English. Yet genoa
logical research traces them straight
back to Dutch sources in many in
stances.
The older form of the name was
"Weiland," but still this does not help
you until you know that well" meant
pasture" The ''wailand" therefore
was the "pastureland"
Indications are that this was not
one of the Dutch names which devel-
oped into family name after the ar
rival of the Dutch language into the
United States with the early settlers
of New York, as has been the case
with many of the Dutch names, but
that 1t was brought to New York as
a family name.
The reasons for this conclusion are
simply consideration of the social and
economic conditions of the early Dutch
settlers of New York. These condi-
tions were not such as to make for
the adoption of what might be termed
agricultural place names, though the
formation of family names from words
descriptive of the occupations of the
bearers was quite common.

Ny Neighbor Says:

Iodine should not be used
when it has been kept for any
length of time. This is because
the alcohol in which iodine is
dissolved evaporates rapidly and
the tincture thus becomes con-
centrated and the strength is
increased. 1t is best to buy TO-
dine in small quantities and to
use it Sparingly.
When making cream sauce or
using flour. for thickening, if
you use pastry -four it will mix
more easily. and there will be
much less danger of it's lump
ing than if you use bread flour.

Tips on Furniture Buying,

Yes like that chair. III take It,"
The piece of furniture is sold 1t
forthwith changes from mere part
of the dealers stock into a living
thing in your home-a crumb Of your
environment, and, by that token, a
part of your life. It leaves the mer-
chandising surroundings md the bene-
fits of studied display to become a
contribution to the complacency of
your home life. Is il not extremely
important then that this piece of fur.
niture be judged by adequate stand
ards?
Beauty, utility and cost-those are
the three considerations that should
have prompted YOU to say, Yes, | like
that chair, I'll take il.
When the definition of beauty is re
duced to its application TO furniture,
beauty becomes symphnoic compo-
sition of color and figure that is pleas
ing 70 the senses of the home.lover.
Forgetting for the present the beauty
of sentiment that is bound TO attach
itself TO certain heirlooms in your
home, and regarding only the bare
choice in the Salesroom, you have
nothing more 10 expect from the
beauty of any piece of furniture you
have in mind Ordinary salesrooms
are often attractively fitted. but they
do not have the setting that only your
living room can render.
From the standpoint of utility, con
slider the furniture YOU already pos
seSs. l. personally, think ii bad
practice to buy a lamp or a table
simply because il is pretty. If there
is no place for the lamp-or the
chair-in your home, if it will be Of
no actual service or comfort 10 you
| say do not buy il. The beauty such
articles bring is valueless and un-
natural. thereby losing its identity as
real bearty.
You are the only judge Of the i'm.
portance of cost. Needless to say. the
finest furniture is the most expensive

apartment she had taken. Ready
furnished apartments are very handy
when you must move in a hurry and
have no chance to furnish the apart
ment yourself.
OF course, the furnishings of that
apartment were very simple. A
Squirrels tastes are simple. All they
require is a properly made soft bed.
The bed in this apartment had been
made by Timmy himself some time be-
fore. 1t was old but it was soft and
good. So Timmys family was quite
as well off as before. excepting that
there were nearer neighborS than Mrs.
Timmey cared for. a little below and
part way round the trunk of that
tree, was another home. 1t was the
home of Drummer the Woodpecker,
and in it We're four young WoodpeCk-
ers almost ready to fly. 1t seemed to
little Mrs. Timmy. AZ she tried to get
some sleep that first day that those
young Woodpeckers down below her
were crying for food all day long
They got on Mrs. Timmy's nerves, but
there really wasn't a thing she could
do about il.
In another hollow still further down
in that same tree and around on the
opposite side. was another home. 1t
was the home of Mr.. and Mrs White
foot the Wood Mice. They had been
the first tenants that year. They bad
moved in in the Winter, Drummer the
Woodpecker and Mrs. Drummer had
moved in in the Spring, after com
pleting their apartment to suit them
selves.
About half way up that tree, which
you know is dead tree. was a large
apartment which had been unoccu-
pied for a long time. The entrance
was too large to be attractive to most
people using hollow-tree apartments.
But unknown to the other tenants in
that apartment tree. some one had
moved into that particular apartment
very early in the morning of the day
that Mrs. Timmy had moved her fam
lily. None Of the other tenants was
awake At the time, and none knew
that Spooky the Screeeh Owl was a
very close neighbor. He had come
over there from the Old Orchard, hav-

Smart Trimmings From Fabrics
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

together on plain material, over
tapping the circles and mingling them
to form units in the trimming. For
instance, three circles of different
colors, and even of different goods
may form one large motif. Put two
together, overlapping the edges just
tritie. Put a third above and a
little to one side and applique them
to the foundation goods by means OF
blanket stitch in dark or a very gay
color according to the sort of circles
employed Dark thread is generally
favored. A single circle may now be
placed on the foundation, and then
two circles. Again two and then a
group of three. Such an arrangement
of circles makes an attractive border
for a porch luncheon set centerpiece.
The plate doilies may have a group of
three in one corner, not too close to
the edge, with a single circle in the
corner diagonally across from 1t.
Leftover Materials.
Bits of gingham that are left-overs
from some child's frocks can be used
to good advantage in such work. 1t
Is also possible to use for this en-
broidery any bits of cloth too small to
be used in any other way. so the work
is thrifty AS well as interesting.
BY cutting green material into leaf
shaped pieces, rounded at one end and
gradually tapering to a point at the
other end, an effect of foliage can be
made to go with circular pieces that
represent blossoms full blown. This
is sort of impressionistic trimming
but it is decidedly effective. Deep
yellow circles appliqued with black or
dark green, combined with the sort of
foliage leaves described, give an inn
preston of orange leaves that IS fetch
ing. Circles of rose fabric with straight
lines of green, each end tipped with
one French knot in yellow, extending
from the centerS, made of a group of
brown French knots suggest roses in
full bloom. They should have two or
three green leaves peeping from the
edges. Gingham roses and leaves of
the same are sometimes used.
Organdy and Gingham.
This sort of work makes attractive
trimming for frocks also. One of the
smart coutourierS uses diamonds of
the Gingham of a frock to applique by
blind stitches to bands Of white or
CANDY that are let into the skirt and
sleeves. You have no idea, without
actually seeing il. how stunning this
trimming is. The diamonds are put
on al regular intervals. thus making a
genuine. band trimming. A mother
who has daughters to clothe, and who
makes the dresses herself, can put
this suggestion to use admirably.
There Is no expense connected with
it. and yet there is no suggestion of
economy in it The landings are
chic.
Cretoune Motifs.
Cretonne designs are frequently cut
out and sewed to plain goods trim
ming ! remember seeing such trim
ming on an expensive gown recently.
The motifs are soft and artistic in
colorings and were used on a georgette
dress. 1t is necessary to use all such
embroidery with reserve. Too much
of 1t cheapens costume, but little,
