Honey Bee Is Worth
Millions to Germany

BERLIN. P-The little bee is a
greater economic producer than arc
all the high sea fishermen of Ger
many put together, according to the
Frankfurter zeitung.
Another striking tribute to the bee
is the assertion by Professor Enoch
zander Of Erlangen university that
"bee culture is the most essential
branch of agriculture"
There are some 65 billion bees in
Germany, according to the Frank
furter zeitung. Together they pro-
duce about 100000 hundredweight of
honey annually, representing a value
of $7,OO0,OOO. This, says the Frank
furt paper, is an economic item of no
small Importance is an impoverished
country like Germany, and exceeds
the proceeds from Germans high seas
fisheries.
Professor zander bases his high es-
innate of bees upon the fact that
billions of blossoms are fertilized by
them. This is worth at least $7O,-
100000 annually to Germany. Fruit
trees, vegetables, the grasses and flow
ers of the meadoWS-all owe their
fertilization to the busy bee, which
carries the pollen from one blossom

thinks American writer's have COM
pretended the child's mind and have
learned to give the child the best in
text and in illustration. He has hard
words for the French writers.
AS for service to the public in the
distribution of books, he praises the
American methods without stint. He
contrasts the dark, unattractive book
shops of Paris with the light, cheerful
well arranged shops of the United
States.
In literature in general and in the

London Offices Now
Boycott High Rents

LONDON tR.-Real estate owners
and agents in the City of London re-
port a boycott against high rents for
offices. They say they have a large
number of rooms vacant even in the
most recently erected buildings.
Last year when offices were, scarce
and rents rose considerably, a large
number of tenants migrated to the
West End and to Westminster. Others
we're forced into paying higher rents,
but with, many more buildings COM
pleted the supply of offices exceeds
the demand and rents are slumping.

Denatured Alcohol as
Anti-Freeze Solution

Denatured alcohol is best to use in
the radiator when the temperature
gets down to the freezing point, the
amount depending on the climate in,
which the car is operated. The use
of powerful chemicals, while some
times cheaper in first cost, is very
likely to cause damage later, costing
more in repair bills than the amount
saved, as they attack the metal sys-
TEN and rubber hose connections. In
order to guard against loss of solu-
tfon make sure that all water con-
nections are tight before adding al
cohof. If the above precautions are
followed there will be no danger of
freezing to car that is used regu-
larly. However. If car is to be faid
up the cooling system should be
drained.

Courtesy on Road a Joy
to Touring Nowadays

One of the big pleasures OF modern
motoring lies in the fact that whether
the trip is for 100 miles or 1000 the
motorist has every reason to feel sure
that he will finish his journey without
having to climb out of his car to- i'm.
dertake the disagreeable job of max
ing repairs on the road.
But now and then some nsliap Oc-
ours. and a courtesy of the road that
all motorists can extend with little
inconvenience to themselves is anoffer
of help to fellow motorist whose car
has become stranded. Such an offer
is particularly timely If the scene of
the mishap is some point whose re-
moteness from garage would make
1t difficult to get assistance.
Even the most careful owners are
caught unawares at times and find
themselves far from home and minus
some tool that is essential to. making
a repair. For instance not so long
ago q man who prides himself on his
equipment got puncture on lonely
country road
He felt he had no cause for worry,
for locked on the lack of his car were
two new tires ready for such an ener-
gency. But when he went to get one
Of these tires he could not find the key
to the lock. He was. just getting ready
to wreck the lock when a car drew up
with an offer of assistance II hap
pened that the good Samaritan had a
key that opened the lock, and put an
end to the difficulty.

CARE OF Tires
VERY IMPORTANT.
Pressures Maintained Must
Conform to Loads
Carried.

In the course of tire development,
tire experiments have proven that
among the most important factors In
the proper treatment of tires is the
adjustment of the ratio between the
air pressure of the tire and the toad
to be carried. Engineers have made
long and comprehensive studies Of the
proper amount of air to he used with
certain loads. The life of the tires is
actually heightened and the service
given is improved If these Observa-
tions of the engineers are regarded.
Overlooking Is Fault.
Overlooking is common fault and
the disregard for careful adjustment
Of air pressure in the tires caused all
sorts of tire troubles. which are not
attributable to the construction of the
tire but to their use. The engineers
and chemists are at work constantly
improving the materials from which
tires are made and the machinery for
their production but all of the prin-
ciples back of the construction of the
tire are based on maintaining an air
pressure commensurate with the load
to be carried and the design Of the
tire.
If the loads are increased the air
pressure must be made to conform
otherwise there Is an insufficient
amount of air in the tires for the load
carried and this produces unnatural
initiation which causes an unnatural
wear on the tires. If the load is too
light for the air pressure carried there
is not the resiliency or buoyancy to
the tires that there should be. This is
particularly true of balloon tires in
which the variation of the air pressure
Is a matter to be most carefully at
tended.
Engine Improves.
Tires like the motor of the automo-
bile respond to good treatment and
the good motOrist is the one who will
heed the best advice as to the care of
the engine He will use his automobile
for years and the engine will actually
improve in his hands while in the
hands of the poor m0torist the engine
will develop a multitude of troubles.
So it is with tires. Proper care actual
ly will give maximum mileage. Con-
sidering that the tires carry the load
Of the car and the contents, as we'll as
protecting the whole mechanism of
the car against the road blows, there
are no more important elements in the
operation of the car than proper tire
adjustment, imitation and load.

Fix Rope for Towing

No one cares to think much about
being tOwed home, but not to make a
bad matter worse. some thought
should be given to this subject. In at
taching the rope which Is to be used
in the towing, many drivers fasten
1t to the axle, which is wrong The
rope should be fastened to one of the
front portions of the frame, So that
the pull comes on the chassis. The
same thing applies to the car doing
the towing, except that the rope
should be fastened to some part of
the rear frame.
