New Sleeping Cars
Expected to Boost
Tourist Business
Elimination of Noises,
Heat and Dust Sets
Higher Standards.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September AIR cooled,
dustless and practically noiseless Sleep
ing cars may enhance the bid OF sew
eral railroad companies for the tourist
business of next Summer
Several of the cars with these COM
fort improvements have been receiving
the test of service on lines in various
parts of the country and the results,
the developers say, have been crafty
ing.
The new cars use forced air" sys-
tenn which brings one condition at least
diametrical to the exhaust ventilator
system which has been standard for
many years. The exhaust ventilators
reduced pressure within the sleeping
cars, facilitating the entrance OF dust.
The new system of air ducts enforceS
a higher pressure within the cars than
prevails outside, tending to prevent dust
ing ess.
Three methods are utilized at present
to Il Wer the temperature Of the air sent
thro ,gh the ducts-mechanical refrig-
erati N, ice and a water spray. To
avoid additional hose connections the
varioLs systems had to be self-con-
taineu for each car. Electric power
was accordingly decided upon and a
special axle was perfected to accom-
modate a direct-driven generator.
The success of the new air-cooled
system was revealed in temperature
records which showed that on one hot
day this Summer, when the thermome-
ter registered Ill degrees outside. the
interior of Tho sleeper had a tempera-
ture ranging from 81 to IS degrees.

The Spring and Summer were busy
times for Pershing in France. Besides
his work as chairman of the Battle
Monuments Commission, which brings
him over for part of every year, he was
in demand for feteS given at the re-
production of Mount Vernon, the cen
trail buildings of the American exhibit
at the Colonial Exhibition.
His soldierly figure, unbent by the
approach of his list birthday annlVer-
sary on September 13, was familiar

he donned his olive-drab uniform, VIII
the four silver stars, only on ceremonial
occasions.

Dandeion Is Menace

With the coming Of spring the old
faithful dandelion crops out on prac-
tically every lawn in the city limits
and it has been hard to place the pest
under control or even reduce its num-
bers. This perennial plant is now in
bloom in Plentywood and June is the
month in which it is the most common
in Montana according to County
Agent Ferguson who is studying con-
troll methods.
The dandelion produces seeds free
ly and these, blowing about, start new
plants wherever they settle on suit
able ground. There are often several
crowns on each large, fleshy root, and
if these are broken apart and covered
with a shallow layer of moist soil,
as when the land is worked, each may
start a new plant. However, as these
pieces die readily unless kept moist,
it is doubtful if this method of repro
duction is of much Importance.
Follows Civilization
This weed has followed civilization
the world over. introduced in to the
United States from Europe, it rapid
ly spread throughout the nation. On
soils that are poor or dry it makes
little headway but in rich irrigated
valleys it grows in great abundance
1t is especially prevalent in lawns.
Plentywood herald., 1931-06-11

immediate effects are passed. Iron
sulbhate is mot poisonous and is
cheap enough to be used for spraying
purposes. It will stain light colored OBJ
jects and should be applied carefully
around cement walks, curbing and
foundation walls"
The strength of the solution usually
recommended is Il u pounds of iron
sulphate to one gallon of water, ap-
piled as fine mist, driving the solu-
tion down into the browns of the plant
according to the county agent. These
are given at intervals of from two to
three weeks, beginning when the
plants are starting to blossom. A
good time to spray is the day follow
ing rain or thoro irrigation of the
lawn. No articifial watering of the
lawn should be resorted to within SO
hours after spraying.
Plentywood herald., 1931-06-11

Dandelions are unsightly and pre-
vent the formation of a good turf. In
meadows and pastures dandelions US
ually occupy the thinly seeded por-
tions. Their habit Of growth makes
them very troublesome in strawberry
beds. They are valuable as producers
of nectar and pollen for bees before
most other honey plants come into
bloom
Complete eraication is PROBABLY an
economic impossibility because of its
wide distribution in waste places,
when the seeds are readily scattered
to lawns, boulevards and cultivated
tracts Seed is produced during the
entire growing season, especially in
June, and widely scattered by the
winds.
Many lawns are kept comparative
ly free from this weed by repeated
clipping with a mower, supplement
ed by hand digging with knife or
spade While more or less satisfac-
tory, this method involves a large
amount of labor; and if the spud is
used too often, it disturbs the soil
so much that a good turf is not form
ed and new seeds find favorable spots
for growth. Heavy seeding and care
ful hand work until a good sod is
formed will result in levin compar.
atively free from the weed.
Hand cutting the crowns from the
roots of old plants will not kill tins
weed. Instead, the root usually send
up number of shoots and clusters
of new plants is formed.
Not Poisonous
Controlling this weed by means OF
chemicals known as herbicides has
been tried with varying results for s
number of years." said Mr.. Ferguson
"The most suitable herbicide known is
iron sulphate or copperas, as it ap
parently has no deleterious cumula
tive effect on the lawn. In fact, it.
application seems to stimulate {
healthy growth Of the grass after its

You'll call Pontiac the

you won't do without, at
a cost you can easily pay

It isn't difficult to learn what most
people want in a motor car. We all
want pretty much the same fine
qualities sand we want them at
moderate price.
You will find this combination in
the Pontiac that fine General
Motors car. Thus, if it's a damp
day when you first drive Pontiac
you will notice how snug and dry il is
inside. The same with heat, cold and
traffic noise-because Pontiac's fine
Fisher bodies are tightly insulated.
Approaching the comfortable seats,
you will remark also the absence Of
road shocks. This is due to hydrau-
lie shock absorbers and rubber
cushionine at 43 points in the chassis.
When you first step inside the
