Need of Substitute
For Sun Is Facing
Rubber Industry

To find a substitute for the sun Is
the task confronting the rubber In
dustry In a quest to prolong the life
Of rubber products, j. M. Bierer and
G. G. Davis, industrialists. Of Cam
bridge, Mass, declare in symposium
on the aging of rubber conducted by
the Division Of Rubber Chemistry Of
the American Chemical Society.
The main hazards to which rubber
goods are exposed, according to
Bierer and Davis, are oxidation, heat
effects, mechanical work and sun.
light. Tests approximating the effect
of all these factors except the sun
light, they say, have been developed
to a high degree of practical utility.
A practical test to duplicate the eff
feet of the sun on such products as
auto topping and bathing caps, how.
ever, is yet to be perfected.

PROGRESS IS MADE
IN THROUGH ROADS
Illinois Now Has II Hard.
Surfaced Roads Crossing
Entire State.

That comprehensive highway plan
ming Is getting some place Is evidenced
by the number of through paved routes
the national highway map now reveals.
Most of the through concrete pave
ments are in the Middle West, although
there are many lengthy stretches in al
other sections. In the East replacement
of WORKOUT surfaces built with the lin
tied experience of several years ago Is
going on slowly but surely.
Concrete From New York 10 Raleigh.
The most notable all-paved Eastern
road extends from New York City
through Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington, Richmond and on to Raleigh
Another concrete highway extends from
Philadelphia through the northern part
Of Pennsylvania to Erie.
In the Middle West several lengthy
pavements radiate from Chicago. Mo-
florists may travel from Chicago to
Louisville via Indianapolis without leav-
ing concrete. All but one short bit OF
the highway connecting Chicago and
Des Moines Is paved. Chicago also has
paved motorways to Detroit and to
Toledo.
What cooperation between State
highway departments can do Is Illus
trated by the continuous strip of con-
crete extending from Hibbing, Mimi, to
Topeka, Kans. This roadway. also
linking Duluth, St. Paul, Chicago, st.
Louis and Kansas City, Is Of tremen-
dous economic and social importance.
Belt Around Lake Michigan.
Another highway accomplishment
worthy Of note Is the concrete road
that extends itself practically all the
way around Lake Michigan.
What the State of the future viii pro-
vide its motorists Is indicated by Hi.
nois. That State now has IL pave
ments from north to south and si1
crossing the State east to west.
Out on the Pacific Coast one may
travel almost entirely on flrst-ciasI
pavement from Vancouver, British Co.

Small Towns Resent
Routing Highways
With Busy Streets

Small towns and villages no longer
want main highways routed through
their streets. This merely adds to
the congestion of traff1c within the
town and slows UP travel on the
highway.
The first of1icial notice of this
changing sentiment was taken by
the State Highway Department Of
Illinois, which was petitioned by rep
resentatives of small villages to re-
route roads around the villages.
Years a.. when traffic moved
slowly and most tourists travelled rel
.atively short distances, 1t was high
ly desirable to have traffic routed
through the towns. Then merchants
benefited by the custom Of these
travellers. There was no traff1c con-
gestion to consider.

CARE OF AUTO URGED.
Machine Should Be Properly Ad-
justed for Winter Service.

If one would adjust his automobile
for Winter service in the same way
that he adjusts his house, there would
be an appreciable increase in the al
ready great number of cars and trucks
that operate successfully IL months In
the year throughout the cold belt Of the
country.
All that is necessary is an application
of the same common sense that prompts
one to alter ones manner of living in
houses when Winter follows Summer.
Just as we start fires in our furnaces,
fortify our windows and doors against
cold, change our manner of ventilating
house, increase the weight and warmth
of bed coverings and dress more warm
ly, SO are there simple, sensible adjust
ments for preparing an automobile for
satisfactory operation in Winter.

MOTORISTS WILL SPEND
MILLIONS FOR ALCOHOL
Expenditure for Anti-Freeze Soiu.
tions Will Reach Nearly
100000, 900. Is Belief.

With Winter just around the corner,
it is estimated that American motor
car owners will use approximately one
third of the entire alcohol output of the
United States to guard against the raw
ages Of frozen radiators. This does not
include the various other anti-freeZe
compounds used by water-cooled cars.
An investigation discloses that ap-
hol will be poured into radiators during
the Winter months. Placing the aver
age cost of alcohol at 81 gallon re-
veals that $4,000, 900 will be spent by
motorists on this one item alone. 1t IL
believed that car owners employing
other types of anti-freeze mixtures win
bring the total expenditure to nearly
CSC, 900, 600.

SPARK PLUGS NEED CARE.
Other Duties Cited for Facilitating
satisfactory Autoing.

Spark plugs must be in good condi-
ton and the electrodes must be adj
justed correctly to not only assure sat-
isfactory all-around performance. but
especially to relieve strain on the bat
terry and facilitate easy starting, which
is so important during the Winter sea-
son.
A surprisingly large percentage Of
poor performance may be traced, and
often eliminated, by an examination of
the spark plugs. Hard starting, missing
at low idling speeds, sluggishness and
power loss on hills and hard pulls are
often traceable to the spark plugs.

Washington-Senator j. BOOM
boom McWhorter is prosecuting q
valiant one-man fight for his anti
walnut bill. tho same anti-walnut bill
which he first introduced in 1904.
Senator McWhorter believes that
he is gradually convincing congress
that the walnut Is great menace
and that If it were not for the popu-
larity of the dangerous walnut the
PECAN growers of his state would ey-
perience great prosperity because the
walnut Is the pecan's great rival ana
keeps down the nations consumption
of pecans by many millions OF kerr
nelS. The senator is confident that
this session Of Congress will enact his
bill, which would gradually abolish all
walnut trees.

later developed that the other man
had been asked by the waiter what

senator's address was we'll received by
the diners and roundly applauded, the

washington. Feb. 2l.-Senator ].
Boomboom McWhorter has been his
own press agent OF late. Formerly he
used his secretary for that job, but
the girl was guilty of such gross
errors Of understatement that the
senator decided to do 1t himself.
You must know, II you don't, that
many members Of congress are accus-
toned to mail out weekly Washing
ton news letters to the newspapers
In their home states. These news
letters arc confined to the various
activities of the member with especial
emphasis on the herculean labors he
has been performing for his constitu-
cnts.
A few Of the congressman even
write regular columns under their
own signatures for their home tow,
newspapers and it is to be noted that
these journalists are almost invari-
ably returned to office. SO the effort
must be worth while.

The truth of the matter is that
Senator j. Boomboom McWhorter has
been waging his annual campaign for
the proposed new federal building in
Goozleton, the state capital. and that
the secretary has only fled before the
devastating vehemence of the sena-
tors arguments.
It is commonly understood on Cap

prepared to engage In one -man fill

ed to him:
"Tippy! Whatever are you doing !
How many times have | told you ~
"Why, l didn't see him doing any
thing out of the way" spoke Uncle
Wicgily. "Hc seems TO me like a
nice puppy, Mrs. Bow Wow"
Eyes, but will you look at his
tail!" whispered the dog lady.
ats a good TAIL" said Uncle Wig
gilv, "and has a nice, white tip on
the end of it."
"Yes. but see how he's wagging
i.-," whispered Tippy's mother.
And then Uncle Wiggily looked
and saw that instead of wagging
his tail from side to side, as most
dogs do. Tippv's tail was bobbing up
and down like pump handle.
"Tippy" called his mother again.
"Uncle Wiggily is watching"
Then Tippy waggcd his tail side
WAYS, "a it should he waggcd for a
while, but pretty soon. as he smelled
the carrot pie. he waggcd it up and
down again.
"I'm sure | don't know what to
do with him." sighed Mrs. Bow Wow.
"IIis father and l have tried to
teach him to wag his tail sideways,
but he can't seem to remember. He
wags it right for while and then
it begins bobbing up and down.
What kind of dog gentleman he
will grow to be, with an up and
down wagging tail, l can't, think
oh, dear"
ats is too bad" said Uncle Wig
gily. Dogs tails arc made to wag
sideways. and not up and down.
It's as bad a baby sucking her
thumb. But / think L can give Tip
py some exercises to practise so he
will soon get over his tail bobbins
and wag it properly"
"Oh, please do" begged Mrs. Bow
Wow. Even Tippy would have been
glad to break himslf of his bad ha
bit.
SO Uncle Wigsily made Tippy
Imperial Valley press., 1929-11-08

stand in front of low fence, with
one rail that was just at the height
Of the puppy's tail. Tippy stuck his
tail over this fence rail and stood
there. Then. Uncle Wigeily let him
smell a piece Of carrot pie. At once
Tispy was so happy he started to
wag his tail. But he couldn't wag it
down because it rested on the fence
rail so. it had to wag sideways,
slithcriag to and fro on the piece of
wood with sliding motion.
ooh, how nicc!" barked his
mother. "That's good tail wagging."
And always after that when Tippy
felt like wagging his tail. he ran
and stood with it over the fence
rail and it couldn't bob up and down
SO it had to go sideways. And soon
he was cured and wagged his tail
the right way without the fence.

its back wheels and wave the front
tires at the traffic cop, III tell you
