Roadside Trees Need
Care and Protection

Farmers bulletin No. 1881, says:
Roadside paintings also furnishpnest-
ing sites, food and protection for de-
sirable birds. The under paintings es-
pecially might be selected with the
needs of our feathered friends In mind.
In view of this widespread and in
creasing interest it is well that COM
munities, especially country districts
and officials responsible for the roads,
seriously consider the desirability of
advancing some scheme of roadside
Improvement by making study of
the advantages and disadvantages Of
paintings. Such a study should in
clude the preparation Of alternative
plans, so that an intelligent decision
as to the method to be employed may
be- made. In order that trees may
be grown successfully they must be
given reasonable care and protection.
In addition, roadside tree planting,
even more than tree planting in vii
lage and city streets, needs unity of
idea and expression over considerable
distance. AS rule, longer stretches
of country road are visible at one time
than of city street, and the rate Of
travel is faster, so that different sec-
tions of the road will be passed so
rapidly that it will appear as jum-
BILE If the same material is not used
over long distances"

Experts Say Auto Wear
High in Cold Weather

The belief Of many motorists that
the major wear on automobile en-
gines is caused in extreme hot or
c,,ld weather has been proven wrong
through an extensive investigation re-
Gently made by several eminent auto
motive engineers. Drivers are aware
Of the danger to motors running
hot" and take the necessary pre-
cautions Of having plenty of water
in the radiator during the hot sum-
mer months. And in winter months
the engine is run for several minutes
in the garage before starting out. to
get the engine to run smoothly.
This investigation showed that cold
weather causes excessive wear and
that considerable damage is done even
In the milder weather Of September
and October in the fall and April and
May In the spring. when motorists
believe that no protection is needed.
Wear that comes too soon after the
auto is purchased results lin FREE
quent visits to the service station and
trading in of the machine long before
adequate mileage is obtained.

OVERHEATINC IN
/. WINTER PUZZLES
Anti-Freeze Mixtures Lower
Boiling Point as Well
as Freezing.

Zone OF the things that all motor
lists are surprised to find in winter is
overheating. They imagine this Is
summer complaint exclusively" says
bulletin isued by the mechanical first
aid department of the Chicago Motor
club. "The truth Of the matter is
that the anti-freezes motorists have
been accustomed to using lower the
boiling point as well as the freezing
point. An engine that 5oiIs over, un-
der such circumstances, Is not as hot
as one that boils over with only water
In the cooling system. but steam in
the circulating system causes unequal
cooling and is likely to retard circu-
lation at vital spots. overheating
valves and causing trouble in general.
Radiator glycerin gives the motorist
low freezing point and high boil
ing point and Is thus more satisfac-
tory in this respect than alcohol. But
owners who use glycerin must have
tight gaskets and hose connections
and the water pump must not leak.
Also, and this applies to the use Of
any anti-frceze, the level of the cool
ing solution should never be less than
three inches from the top of the radi-
ator. Make the minimum four inches
for cars using the thermO-syphon sys-
TEN.
Dampness Cause Of Trouble.
"Dampness causes a lot of winter
trouble in connection with the ignition
system. One Of the common ailments
is that the engine that will not start
at all just because the high tension
current Is jumping across the outside
of the porcelains of the spark plugs.
Standing in the open the cooling plugs
have collected a little water from
condensation. This shorts the cur
rent. Instead of passing through to
the points the high tension current
gets across on the outside through the
water path.
IF the engine cranks well enough,
and is not being choked to the point
Of flooding. the motorist should rub
dry the spark plug externals with rag.
Burn Out Bearings.
"If the winter is at all open. many
car owners stand an excellent chance
Of burning out bearings and scoring
cylinders. With an opportunity to
make long trips and burn the road
they will run into fabrication troubles
Of the simplest yet least understood
kind. These motorists will lift the
hood and find the oil level gauge reg
lstering full. Then they step on
the gas, burn off the gasoline they
thought was oil in the crankcase and
come to grief because there is not
enough real oil in the engine to sup
ply all the working parts.
'Dont trust the oil level indicator
in winter. Change oil every 500
miles, and after starting on a winter
trip, look at the indicator more fire.
quently so as to be ready with addi-
tional oil II the dilution in the crank
case starts to burn off,"

Giue Thought 10 Building

The home builder today is short
sighted If he puts his money into any,
thing but a weil-built and well-de-
signed home. 1t costs very little, II
any more. to build from good plan
that puts in those clever little touches
here and there that give the house
that individual and attractive look
which means so much when the place
is offered for sale. Many builders are
still drawing their own plans and
are not giving enough thought and
study to them TO keep them up to
date and in lire with what the best
people want today.

Clean Out Copper Gauze
Strainer in Crankcase

Clean the fine copper gauze strainer
In the crankcase. If the solid par
ticles are not removed from the
strainer its meshes may be stopped
up SO completely that the oil itself
cannot be pumped through and lubri-
cation will cease. with disastrous re-
suits. The oil gauge usually warns
of this condition by showing reduced
or no pressure. Use brush and gas
oline to clean the strainer, and care
should be taken not to break the fine
gauze, as this will spoil 1t. In putting
back the strainer be sure 1t is prop
erly in place, with no possibility of
an oil leak, and in replacing the Oil
pan take care that its gasket is not
damaged and that 1t fits oiltight.

Financing Ones Home

Financing Is the big problem of the
home builder and the big problem of
the prospective home owner. The
own-your-home NOV ement wins popu-
larity in the average city in direct
proportion to the liberality OF terms
of purchase. Before the builder can
make it easy for his customers to buy
homes. he must make 1t easy for them
TO provide operating capital with
which to continue building.

Reduce Loss of Life

To reduce the tremendous loss OF
life and property, chiefs of police
throughout the United States are prac-
tically unanimous in favoring uni
form law requiring that automobiles
be constructed In such manner that
the maximum speed capacity be no
more than 80 miles an hour. They
also suggest that all drivers of cars
found in an intoxicated condition be
fined heavily and sent to Jail as well
as have their drivers license revoked.

REORGAN|zE
CHAMBER Of

Dick Miller, President of
Organization, Tells of
Progress Plan.
SEEK MORE EFFICIENCY
General Secretary May Be

Reorganization of the Chamber
of Commerce is being made as the
first tangible step in a program for
the Industrial development of Indian
apolis, Dick Miller, chamber presi-
dent. said today noon before the
regular weekly luncheon Of the In
dianapOlis Real Estate Board at the
Chamber of Commerce.
Millers speech was the first of a
series he is giving before various or
CARNATIONS, outlining the campaign
of the Indianapolis First" move
ment, sponsored by the Chamber of
Commerce. His topic today was
More Pay Rolls for Indianapolis.
I'VE are undoubtedly agreed that
what we want in this city is a bigger
pay roll" Miller declared. I'VE need
more industries and the charging of
industries already here. which makes
for greater taxable values and great
er opportunities for every line of
trade
Seek Industrial Engineer
The proposition of employing al.
Industrial engineer to sell. Indian
apolis to industries prospecting for
location has already been preached
as a means for such expansion.
Chamber Of Commerce directors are
considering several applicants and
are expected to announce an appoint
ment soon.
I'VE are now busy reorganizing
the chamber" Miller continued, ION
basis of more efficient service to
loyal industry and with a sincere
hope that we may attract new cap
ital to the city.
Our ambition is to rededicate the
chamber as a leading instrumental
ity for industrial progress, and we
are setting up the machinery for
this great movement supported by
the citizens of indianapolis"
May Subordinate Reynolds
The possible subOrdination Of John
b Reynolds, chamber general sec
rotary. to the incoming industrial
engineer. has been considered some
what favorable by the board of
directors, it is understood. Some of
the directors maintain that two high
salaried executives would be
disastrous to a different administra-
ton policy. Reynolds contract ex-
pired Dec. 81, and he is being re-
tanned temporarily pending settle
ment Of the question, it was revealed
recently.
IF this city has grown to a popu-
lation of 100000 with industrial de-
velopment in keeping with the popu-
lation without a concentrated drive
for expansion" Miller concluded,
what do you think we could do if
we all united in an intensive pro-
gram to that end?"

dent of the real estate board, pre-
sided at the meeting.
