ness, something disconnected with the
regular routine of everyday work In
which he finds pleasure and entertain
ment. For instance, Chambers is an
engineer of my acquaintance who
makes his living building bridges and
Installing electric light plants, and es-
tablishing pumping stations. He is
much concerned every day with plans
and estimates, and calculations. His
business is very much mechanical.
His hobby is books. He has one of
the finest libraries, and one of the
rarest, in the large city in which he
lives He would cross the continent
or make trip to Egypt to pick up
beautiful and unusual book. His
friends say he is crazy over the subject
of books, but he is in fact only an
enthusiastic bibIiophile who is kept

cause of his hobby. He has no time to
be bored with leisure or to be home
sick when he is away from home, for
he always has an interesting or a
rare book with him or his eye out for
a new one.
Johnson's hobby is golf. He sits at
a desk all day in busy office, he is
concerned with selling things and in
pushing the business with which he is
connected. If he did not exercise reg
ularly he would have a tendency to
grow stale to put on weight, to de-
velop an increased belt line. His golf
saves him. He has little garden in
which before breakfast and after din
ner he practices putting; he takes all
the golf magazines, and he keeps up on
the champions, he knows all about the

countries, too. and instead of talking

Proper Care of Brakes
Is Safety-First Habit

Proper care of the brakes is one Of
the best safety-first habits a motorist
can form, says bulletin issued by the
accident prevention department of the
Chicago Motor club. The majority of
drivers use the foot brake almost en-
tirely, relying upon the emergency to
turn the trick in tight places. There
are two things wrong with this meth
cd; first one becomes accustomed to
the foot brake, and the emergency is
strange, and in case of danger one will
find it good motoring sense to become
familiar with the emergency brake.
In the second place, it is advisable
to save the foot brake by using the
emergency This especially is desir-
able on long hills, where the lining
may be worn out in descending one
steep grade. On long steep grades the
driver should shift into first or second ;
in this way If you are driving six
cylinder car, you will have six addi-
tional brakes, but even then you will
need to use the hand and foot brakes.
Try out your brakes every morning,
and have them adjusted about once
a month, depending of course on the
amount of driving you do.

Henceforth automobiles bearing the

An announcement from the national

WHAT A NURSE NEEDS

WHAT should be the qualifications
w OF a good nurse? / don't mean a
trained nurse The authorities of the
training school can take care of that.
But for the home nurse, for caring
for the sick child what sort of per-
son should be selected?
The first necessity is that the nurse
herself should have good health. I'm
aess woman is strong and well, she
cannot stand either the physical or
the mental strain Of caring for another
In sickness. For a weak, sickly per
son to undertake the responsibility of
caring for an invalid only means that
in short time there will be two sick
persons in the family instead of one.
Too often mothers who are barely able
ao care for themselves insist on nurs-
ing their sick children. with the result
that the child does not get satisfactory
care and the mother is soon completely
worn cut Many frail but conscien-
aious daughters date their complete
anvalidisn from the time they at
tempted to care for their mothers in
lime of sickness. So whatever your
relation TO or interest in the invalid is.
unless you are strong and we'll and
able to stand the strain Of caring for
AN invalid through weeks of illness,
get some one else. A strong and
healthy stranger is better nurse for
an invalid than a weak and slckly
relative.
The second necessary qualification
for nurse is common sense. The
sickroom is no place for sentiment. A
clear mind. good judgment and self
control are all needed there Common
sense is valuable in all of lifes activ-
titles. but nowhere more than In the
sickroom. The nurse must be able
not only to follow the doctors direc-
lions accurately and effectively, but
also to act Ia an emergency in his
absence and to do what the doctor
would want her to do if he were
present.
The third requirement for the nurse
is resOurcefulness, the ability to take
what she has In the way of equipment
and make the best use of 1T possible.
Few homes are prepared for sickness.
When 1t comes, the household Is gen
orally demoralized. Perhaps 1t Is the
mother herself who Is i'll. The nurse
must take things as she finds them,
secure order and quiet in the house
and see that her patient gets the nee
essary care and attention with the
least possible disturbance for the rest
OF the family
These things are not easy to do.
especially in time of sickness, but the
way in which they are done marks the
true nurse

Hard Surfaced Highways
Gradually Deteriorate

There is no such thing as a perma-
nent highway, observes the Fort Worth
Star-Telegraph. The Department of
Agriculture in Washington says that
this error should no longer be har-
bored. 1t is now thoroughly under
stood that all roads gradually depre-
ciate and wear out under wheels and
weather. The job of maintaining
road is one of eternal vigilance.
Another common error says the de-
partment, is that all roads should be
hard-surfaced. When vehicles using
a road are comparatively few, road
which is merely graded and drained
can be maintained at a very low cost.
II is not necessary to make a hard-sur-
faced road until the traffic becomes
denser. No road should be improved
beyond it's earning capacity.
At the same time. improved roads
are not luxuries. It costs more to re-
pair motor vehicles than it does to fix
roads. Logically. therefore, the only
limit that should be placed on ex-
penditure for road Improvement is the
amount that can be saved in vehicular
operating costs. That depends. of
course, upon the number Of vehicles
using the road 1t Is pointed out that
the country loses more, In increased
cost of operating vehicles, by not i'm
proving roads than 1t costs to improve
them.

LUBRICATION is
AUTO ESSENTIAL
AS Long as Oil Films Are
Maintained, Wear of
Car Is Eliminated.

An automobile is wear proof until
the oil film breaks. And this state
ment applies with equal force to all
wearing surfaces, says a bulletin is
sued by the mechanical first-aid de-
partment of the Chicago Motor club
1t is just as true of the gear teeth in
the transmission, or the bearings in
the rear axle, as it is for the main
engine bearings
No wear can occur between two
surfaces which are separated by a
film of oil or grease. Wear is impos-
sible so long as this ideal condition
exists, but wear occurs rapidly as soon
as the oil film breaks and the surfaces
come into contact.
Wear Is Eliminated.
It is only recently that this theory
has been fully accepted. The fact is
now we'll understood that so long as
the oil films throughout the car are
maintained, wear is eliminated. For
years the efficacy of fabrication was
explained by stating that the oil films
prevented the surfaces from coming
into contact, but it was always thought
that complete and continued separa-
ton of the surfaces was an impossible
ideal. In actual practice the oil film
kept the surfaces apart most of the
time, but whenever they did come to-
gether, even for an instant, a little
wear occurred. This view was borne
out by experience since even the best
fabricated surfaces wore out gradually.
In those days, an engine was consld-
cred satisfactory if it would run ten
thousand to fifteen thousand miles
without requiring bearing adjustment,
but nowadays there are sufficient in
stances of cars running seventy-flve
thousand miles without any attention.
proving that the oil film theory is cor
rect.
Oil Film Broken.
II the bearings need adjustment
at the end of seventy-fve thousand
miles, 1t is because the oil film broke
and allowed the surfaces to run to-
gether In many cases 1t Is held that
all the wear may be caused by the oil
film breaking just once, as might hap
pen if car were over-speeded by be-
Ing driven on a slight down grade with
the throttle wide open Under these
circumstances the pressures on the en-
CINE bearings are maximum, and of
course if the pressure mounts high
enough 1t will break the oil film.

THE DANGERS OF MILK

MI H-K is product Of the animal
49, body and, like all such products,
is affected by the diseases from which
ahe animal suffers Man in different
lands and times has used the milk of
many animals for food, principally
COWS, goats asses, mares, camels. aud
buffaloes. In this country, cows milk
is universally and almost exclusively
useG.
Cows milk may be contaminated In
two ways: by some disease of the
animal itself making the milk danger
Gus when the animal produces 1t, or
by being polluted In some way in trans
1T. from the time 1t is MIXED until
1t Is consumed.
Raw milk, drunk just as 1t comes
from the cow, may cause tuberculosis,
Malta fever. fo0t-and-mouth disease,
milk sickness and several other rather
rare diseases. Milk which is pure and
harmless when MIXED, may become
polluted with typhoid germs by dirty
pals, dirty stables, dirty hands Of
nlilkers or handlers, or dirty bottles.
Milk may also carry germs of diph-
liberia. scarlet fever and septic sore
throat. Whether the germs of these
diseases come from the COW or from
the human handlers Is uncertain.
! There is a COW disease, caused like
scarlet fever, by streptococcus, which
may cause a similar disease in man.
Whether cows ever have diphtheria,
and, If they do whether the diphtheria
germs can get into the milk direct from
the cow. is an unsettled question.
But 1t doesn't really matter whether
the germs in milk which cause disease
come direct from the cow or from out
side the COW. Contaminated milk II
drunk raw may cause any of these
serious diseases.
If all milk could be given by per-
fectly healthy cows and could be
transported and sold in perfectly clean
buckets. cans or bottles and handled
only by perfectly clean people in per-
fectly clean surroundings, then raw
milk would be a perfectly clean food.
But 1t isn't, and until all the people
in the country are perfectly healthy,
it's rather too much to expect all the
COWS to be. tuberculosis is about as
common in cows as it is among hui
man beings.
But if pure milk is impossible, safe
anilk is very easy to have. 1t is only
necessary to heat milk to 148 degrees
for 30 minutes. TO kill all the disease
germs and make the milk perfectly
safe. This can be done in rice boiler
or any kind of double boiler. 1t
doesn't harm the milk or make 1t any
less good to drink. 1t simply turns
live germs to dead germs Which
would you rather do, put the milk on
the fire for 80 minutes or put the child
to bed for 80 days?

ON Shield

vaporized oil that comes through
the breather is blown out in a mist,
covering hood and engine and making
an abominable mess. This trouble
may be cured by fitting an elbow of
soft rubber hose over the breather
pipe. A tin pipe is fitted over the
other end of this elbow long enough
to reach down into the dust pan, to
which it is fastened. In this way the
vaporized oil will be carried away
from the engine and hood.
