SAYS SPEED USES OIL.
Experts Suggest Watching Supply
on Long Trips.

Motorists who own newer cars have
been so impressed with the oil per
formance" of their purchases that
some of them are falling into the err
ror Of believing that consumption of
lubricant is negligible at all speeds.
This is not the case. Despite the inn
proved fabrication systems, high
speeds still mean greater oil consump-
ton. On the long trip, when there is
opportunity to travel at good rate,
it is well to look to the oil supply as it
was before the day of the pressure
system, the oil filter and other crank
case improvements.

Bark.

The fiowerless season is the great
time for the naturalist to learn to
know the trees by their bark. OF
course, there are some kinds of bark
that are easy--birch and the decidu-
Gus beautiful white plates of the syca-
more. Even in the city streets there
ia a surprising number of kinds of
trees, and as one walks along to work
the bark of the Winter trees turns
friendly face to one, II one knows how
to identify the different kinds and
what their names are.
The European horse chestnut is
recognized at once by its big, round,
black, thin plates which tend to flake
off. 1t is one of the commonest of
formal city trees. The Norway
maple, which everybody plants, has
elegant, broad, fiat ridges of dark
bark; in the sycamore maple, almost
equally common on the streets. long.
deep ash-gray, criss-crossing burrows
and ridges denote the species. The
eln's bark has long, dark-gray flakes.
In the sugar maple heavy dark gray
plates are the rule, but the silver
maple has lighter long fakes. The
street linden is generally of the Euro
pean species, which possesses marked
narrow burrows and ridges Of dark
gray.
Most of our Washington street
oaks are young scarlet oaks, and these
you may know by smooth, glossy,
gray-brown bark. But for smoOthness
no bark in the world is of finer tex
ture than the elegant whitegray of
tho beech.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY wINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Most OF us are familiar with the
very important nutrition work being
carried on with laboratory animals.
This work Is carefully supervised. and
the animals used are those whose d.
gestive processes are sufficiently IKE
the human to make results obtained OF
the utmost value. Many an advance
in feeding delicate children owes its
inception of work with white rats and
guinea pigs.
1t Is possible, however, that not so
many of us realize that there Is still
another way in which animal feeding
may help us in our own study of hu.
man nutrition. Besides the work al
ready noted, there are other expert
mentS that are undertaken chiefly fOS
the purpose of ascertaining nutritional
values as they exist in foods to be
given to animals, with no thought of
later work in human nutrition.
/ While such studies of the feeding
of animals are not to be taken as final
in any sense, SO far as human diets
are concerned. the intelligent house
wife will be interested to learn all she
can, and will like to know some of the
results and their possible relation to
her own diet problems.
The nutritive value, as some one
points out, of any feeding depends
largely upon the digestibility of Its
various parts. This is as true for ami
male as for humans. When we read
that orange pulp contains 70 per cent
total digestible nutrients, we can see
why by products such as dried orange
pulp make valuable feeding stuffs for
animals. Does 1t not give us new
light on the orange as human food?
Dried beet pulp Is found to contain
71.6 per. cent of total digestible nutri
ents. Raisin pulp contains lower
percentage and we find that the dried
pulp of either beets or oranges or bar.
ley gives the highest proportion of
actual food values.
When we remember that these dried
fruit and vegetable pulps are being
studied as foods for dairy cattle, 1t Is
easy to see the relation to human nu.
triton. The food of the dairy cow is
important to the young calves, but
equally important to bottle.fed babies.
All of which Is the same roundabout
way of calling attention to the fact
that Ii We keep our eyes open we
shall learn new and interesting facts
daily in regard to nutFition Some
times what is called q reading knowl-
edge of a subject Is almost as important
as detailed information which we put
to literal use. In this case the mother
who learns about the care with which
dairy cattle are fed can scarcely fail
to have a more intelligent idea as to
how she may best study the problems
involved in feeding her own children.
