garbage disposal is the business of
every city health department and
easily available to the remote country
dwelling these days.
In the meantime, while more fund
amental measures are still awaiting in
stallation there are a few simple
measures that every householder and
farmer can put into use effectively.
Borax destroys the eggs and larve OF
flies. If it is thoroughly spread over
piles of manure that are of necessity
exposed, it will do great deal to pre-
vent the development of flies. Manure
so treated will not destroy crops if it
is used for fertilizer. But the farmer
is cautioned against using it in pro-
portions greater than Is tons to the
acre. Another effective treatment is a
solution of hellebore.
The seriousness of the fly menace
justifies heroic measures, the bulletin
says in conclusion. The fly brings with
him from his breeding place vicious
germs of dysentery, typhoid, and in
fantile diarrhea.
They trail with him on the hairs of
his legs and in his alimenary canal
So long as they circulate freely in and
out of the house, we shall never be
free of the menace of the disease he
carries.

Earth's Rotation

earth rotating on its axis. All that

that no force De acting to stop it, and
that is the case, except that the tides
have a retarding effect, which is so
minute that it is only within the last
100 years that astronomers succeeded
in detecting 1t.

Tulips In Holland

The miles and miles of bulb fields

But the Dutch grower is no sentimen-

thereby strengthen the bulbs for fu-

1890 AUTO MODELS
IN HIGH-CLASS LIST
Greater Power and Enhanced Mile
age Claimed as Among the Ad-
vantages They Offer.

The owner of a 1880 automobile at
once gets greater power and enhanced
gasoline mileage, 1t is pointed out bv
oscar Coolican, local distributor, who
uses this fact to illustrate the general
opposition that the increased perform
ance OF the latest model motor cars il
brought to the purchaser with the as
surance that operating expenses as a
general rule will be smaller than ever
before.
This is perhaps the most impressive
accomplishment Of the automotive en-
g1neer, Mr.. Coolican says. ITO have
wrought such an improved automobile
as that Of 1880 is an achievement of
rare merit. But, to gain such better
ment not only without running up on-
Grating costs, but actually reducing
them In many cases, is q certain iY1di.
cation of the genius of the laboratory
workers Of motordom.
Improved carburetion and manifold
ing means greater performance and
greater mileage per gallon of gasoline.
Inherently better balanced than ever
before, the automobile of 1880 is less
subject to wracking strains Conse-
quently. depreciation is reduced and re-
pair expenses fewer. No matter what
part of the car is analysed, one will find
that the engineers have built in vastly
fewer performances and at the same
time they have taken steps to make
owning that car more economical.
Those who have had practical expe-
rtence with the 1880 automobile attest
firmly that in this respect the auto
motive engineer has far outStripped his
previous best Efforts

nothing to warrant the instituting OF
heavier schedules.
Sales in these classes are swinging
more generally to an upward trend but
it is doubtful If the gains will be sufi-
Gent to warrant much of an increase in
output before the end of the month.
Even In low-priced field there is evidence
that manufacturers, watching demand
closely have found It necessary to reg
ulate production more carefully as a
result Of the strong pace at which they
opened the month.
The trend toward higher prices con-
tinues, and this week another company
announced increases in the prices of its
lines. Others undoubtedly will follow,
with an interlude due during the Sum-
mer, when manufacturers will find levels
satisfactory because of the peak of sales
and production. AS the year wanes a
resumption of the upward trend of
prices may be expected.
An undercurrent of increased vigor is
being felt in the truck division of the
industry, although on the surface of
production and sales levels there is yet
little evidence Of this. Exports, after
subsiding to q steady trend for some
time, again show an upward turn, and
sales for this market revealed consider
able gains during the past week. A

CHIEF CAUSES FOR HARD

Batteries and Lubricants

Chief causes for hard starting in Win
ter are as follows:
Weak battery, gravity low, plus effect
OF cold weather, which lowers efficiency
Of battery.
Lubricants too heavy for cold weather
causing drag on all moving parts.
Dirty or WORKOUT spark plugs: also
plug gap setting too wide.
Excessive use of choke, causing raw
charges of gasoline to be drawn into

and short-circuiting spark plugs.
