Mechanical Features

As has been prophesied during
the past few months. this, the first
of the European type light ears to
be built in this country is designed
along the most advanced of mod
ern engineering lines to get wide
range of power and performance
fitm small aud therefore cconomi-
cal motor dimensions.
The pore is > IS inches and the
stroke is 1 SIS inches giving a pis-
ton displacement Of 1872 inches.
This : somewhat larger than the
average for the European type mo-
tors but is smaller than any other
American built motor of stock pro-
luction. The increase over the
Ere!ish and IreIch dimensions was
made to give the ear certain per
formancc features in high gear
which are not required by Euro
pean users. II i said that this

suits similar to those from CONNER
cial kinds. The light motor oil re-
commended must not be confused
with the heavy, less highly refined
kinds that contain dark sediment.
In general, vanished floors retain
their color and luster better if no
water is used on them but if very
dirty they may be wiped with Il
cloth or mop wrung out of warm
soapy water wiped dry at once, and
polished with an oiled cloth or mop.
White spots made by water and
light scratches can generally be re-
moved by rubbing with a cloth
moiStened with floor oil, Kerosene,
or furniture polish. AS soon as Il
vanished floor can be no longer
revived by this method, fresh coat
OF varnish should be brushed on, for
il the finish wears down to the bare
wood it can seldom be patched sue
cesstully.
To Wash Rugs
Rugs of the washable type are
becoming more and more popular
every day. There are the old FASH
ioned rag rugs, woven or braided,
various other sorts of fabric rugs,
and even hooked yarn rugs which
have to be cleaned if they are used
constantly.
Washing with soap and water is
really the only satisfactory method
of cleaning these rugs. And in spite
of the general impression, they can
be washed just as we'll and almost
as easily without Il washing ma
chine as with one.
For hand washing Of rugs, the
equipment consists Of wide table
or bench. stiff scrUbGinS brush
and Il bar of laundry soap or box
of Clipped soap.
Spread the rug over the table.
Soak with water and sprinkle well
with soaIs or rub the surface with
white naptha soap. This will
cleanse thoroughly without fading
even blues or piuks.
With the brush scrub the surface
vigorously, adding more soap and
water if necessary. Move the rug
along until it is all scrubbed. Then
rinse thoroughly-thc quickest way
is to hang it ON the line and turn
the hose ON it. + this is not fcas-
iblc, scrub it with clear water until
all traces of soap are removed.
Hang straight ON the line to dry
in shady airy place.

Four Wheel Brakes
An innovation in light ear con-
struction is found in the four wheel
brakes which are of the type of
design used on better than 90 per

DOCTORS ANSWER
V|W|SECT|ONF FOES
Medical Science and Prog.
reSS Greatly Helped by
Experiments, They Say.

The medical profession made its
answer before the Senate District
committee today to the appeal of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for a law to pro
hibit experiments on dogs in the IDS
| trict of Columbia.
DIR. Reid Hunt of the Harvard Med
| ical College and also an official of
the American Pharma copea Conven-
| ton, defended the use of animals by
the medical profession in finding
cures for the ills of mankind. He
cited number of illustrations Of
how valuable discoveries have been
tested out and verified by the use of
animals before they were tried on hui
man beings.
DR.. Hunt testified that a law to
prohibit experimentation on animals
in the District of Columbia would be
in conflict with the Federal pure food
act. He pointed out that that law in
cludes the pharamacopea standards.
and that one of the requirements is
that tests be made on animals to de-
termine the strength of certain drugs.
Dr. Hunt said doctors have been loath
to use animals. but that no other sat
| isfactory method of accurately deter
mining certain factors has been
] found.
He referred to one drug that is
used to relieve asthma, some heart
ailments and also to check bleeding.
and said it must be tested on dogs.
Says Dogs Aid Progress.
1.-THE medical profession has made
marvellous progress along these lines. 3"
DR.. Hunt testified. answering the
contention of advocates that after
of ether as an anesthetic as an
the result has been doubtful in COM
parison to the suffering of the ami.
mails.
DR.. Hunt also cited the perfection
of ether as an anesthetic as an
other contribution of medical science,
the value of which was proved by
using it on animals.
DIR. Hunt said further improve
ments would be hampered if expert
mentatiOn on animals is prohibited
He said the Germans contend they
have found drug that will stimu-
late respiration and thus lead to the
saving of lives. This. he said, is one
field in which future scientific study
would be rendered difficult by an anti
vivisection law.
DIR. William Charles White of the
medical research committee of the
National tuberculosis Association de-
clared it would be utterly impossible
for him to carry on his work of trying
to save human beings from tubercu-
losis II the pending bill should become
law.
Aid to Live Stock Field.
DIR. John Buckley of the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the Department
of Agriculture told of the various dis
coveries that have been made to aid
the live stock industry through expert
ments conducted by the bureau. He
said large numbers of guinea pigs and
rabbits are used. but declared that no
animal is ever used without some def
mite object in view.
DIR. f. w. SchwartZe, of the Bureau
of Chemistry, said the use of dogs is
essential to the work of that bureau.
which is charged with research and
regulation in connection with the
Pure Food and Drug Act
DIR. Schwartze mentioned receiving
some dogs from the District Pound.
