are ever needed and no fumes are present, but
because of the fact that the Modern Electric
Range is so simple to use. A mere snap of the
switch gives you fast hedt. A precision clock and
temperature control make it possible for you
to do your cooking even while you are away
from home. They regulate the cooking tenn
perature and turn the current on only when
needed.
As the result of an actual analysis of electric
service bills rendered to our many customers now
using Electric Cookery, we know that the aver
age family uses this most modern kitchen servant
for less than s. per month.
You, too, should modernize your kitchen with

CLEAN COOLING.
SYSTEM OFTEN.

The modern car is sensitive to
any irregularity in the cooling
system and it is important to
remember to have this system
free from rust and corrosion be-
fore starting on a tour. The &C
emulation of foreign substances
in the radiators Of their automo-
biles is generally in direct ratio
to the mileage driven. Rust,
formed by the action of water
and air on the iron and steel
parts, combines with gerase from
the water pump. and settles in
the water passages of the engine
block, forming heat insulative
coating which retards rapid cool
ing.
Such a condition may not be
particularly serious in the engine
block, but when small portions
of this coating become diSlodged
and are carried by the flow of
the cooling water into the small
passages of the radiator core, a
badly clogged radiator soon re-
suits. This stoppage of the radia-
tor passages affects the opera
ton of the car in a number of
ways. The motor overheats and,
at best, can only be driven at a
small fraction of its maximum
speed. Gasoline consumption is
higher and, in aggravated cases,
the cylinder walls become scored.
Proper cleaning of the cool
ing system will loosen scale and
rust particles and quickly free
the radiator of grease and scum.

INLAND PARKS
OUTGROWTHOF

NEW YORK, June 3O.-State
and national parks have been de-
veloped to the same tempo we

try. Both are of comparatively
recent origin. Only five of our

previous to the motor age. The

Cold Water Cracks
Hot Engine Blocks

Cold water should never be ad-
ded to a hot engine, especially
when steam escapes from the
radiator. This usually results in
a cracked engine block. The
thing to do when the cooling solu-
ton steams is to stop and wait
while the liquid cools down, and
even then to cover the hood with
@ rubber sheet and open the ra-
diator cap slowly and carefully.
Removing the radiator cap is
dangerous not only to the motor
list but to the car. The sudden
escape of steaming water may
burn the hands and face of the
driver, and may spread over the
hood and diScolOr it.

offers to all seekers of a summer

holiday from the time that you
leave the dirt. smoke and heat
of your city. Distances are
moderate. One does not have to
travel far in order to reach Sc

but merry.
Touring in New England is
economical. Good lodging and
food may be had at Q price
within the reach of all.
New England is vacation land
for everyone. One thousand
sandy beaches. where bathing is

Mountains and woodland, where

5000 lakes and almost 1000

tunities for aquatic sports.

NEW CAR
THOROUGHLY

A new car should be taken to
the service station for a thor
ough check-up after it has been
run a few hundred miles. Before
starting on a long trip the
spring bolts are particularly
likely to come loose. Too often
owners confuse the spring bolts
with the spring clips. The latter
are the small clips and nuts
which hold the spring leave at
various points along their length.
Meanwhile the spring bolts
which hold the centers of the
springs to the axles may be COM
ing loose.

OPEN
To MILLIONS
Of CARS

Millions of motors. are mum
ming, heralding the arrival Of a
new touring season. "a season
under conditions that are with.
out a parallel in the history OF
automobiles. And this year the
automobile comes into new promi'
nence as a vacation vehicle.
Economy has become the watch
word of nearly all people. Every
one is trying to keep expenses
down to minimum and to make
purchases wisely The automobile
provides the means Of enjoying a
marvellous vacation at small ex-
pense. and when the vacation is
over, the car is still there to give
thousands Of miles and many
years of valuable service.
For 1882, the automobile manu-
facturers have built new econ
omy into their products. They
provide the greatest automotive
values ever seen. far ahead Of the
cars in other countries. Prices
have been shaved to minimum,
so that the purchaser today gets
full value for every dollar he in
vests in an automobile.
Best Ever Devised
The financing plans OF present
day automobiles are the best ever
devised. They make it easy and
desirable for everyone to own an
automobile.
The best proof of this state
ment is an actual investigation of
the purchase plan of any automo-
bile on the market. The pur'
chaser will find the dealer and
manufacturer willing and eager
to make it possible for him to buy
a car.
Today's automobiles are safer
and far more efficient than any
of their predecessors. The cur
rent year has seen the almost
universal adoption of free wheel
ing, ride control, automatic clutch
and other automotive features
that all add to the comfort,
safety and particularly the econ
omy of an automobile.
All America Open
All America is open to the
tourist. Fine highways. lead to
all corners of the United States,
Canada and many parts of Mex
leo.
There is an endless variety OF
tours to choose from. In two
weeks the average family, with
modern motor car, can see a
large portion of the United States
at a fraction of what it would
have cost 20 years ago.

HOLU to Get Stranded
Car Out of Mud Hole

When the car becomes stalled
in a mud-hole or in a "dugout"
of soft sand, it is poor policy
to speed up the engine and
Jump" the clutch. This causes
the rear wheels to spin and they
only sink deeper, making it sill
harder to get the car out. Try
this plan. Open the throttle just
far enough to keep the engine
going and then slowly engage
the clutch. Nine times out of ten
the rear wheels will get traction
and move out without further
difficulty.

VERMONT HILLS
!: AMONG EAST'S
BEAUTIES

Every traveller who has ever
visited Vermont, knows it is one
of the most beautiful States OF
the East. It makes no differ
ence which direction you travel:
north, south. east or west, the
roads are all scenic.
The charm of the countryside
is due in a great measure to the
lovely line of hills that stretch
northward across the State known
as the Green Mountains.
The mountains extend from
the Massachusetts, line to the
Canadian border and reach nearly
to the Connecticut River on the
east and to Lake Champlaln on
the west.
Mountains and Valleys
The State has many hundreds
of miles of improved roads which
run through the valleys, follow
ing clear. swift rocky streams,
but frequently climb by easy
stages up to the heights from
which points are obtainable fine
views of the surrounding coun-
tryside.
Quaint colonial farmhouses
may also be seen, with old,fash-
ioned flower gardens, which re-
mind one of the Green Noun
Tain boys. and historical monu-
ments which recall Vermont's
heroic past.
Lakes Everywhere
And after the mountains In
Importance, come the lakes. They
are everywhere throughout the
State; some large, some small,
often reflecting virgin spruceS,
and always sparkling clear,
Champlain the largest of them
all, may be followed through Yer
mont for hundred miles, with
the Adirondacks in the back
ground, and the Green Mountains
near at hand.
Two main trunk highways
traverse the State from north to
south on either side of the Green
Mountains, and there are about
a half dozen main east and west
reads.

ing in an automobile is expensive
Travelling at SIS miles an hour in,
creases oil consumption seven
times as compared with 35 miles
an hour. Tires wear out twice as
fast at so as they do at 40 miles

was that driving between 30 and
