Milady's Motoring
By FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

the mixture into the tray nearest the
freezing unit of the refrigerator"
That's logical enough. Yet when she
went on a picnic she put all Of the
sandwiches in box on the floor di-
rectly over the mufder. And was that
illogical?
Being very experienced driver, she
naturally resented being whistled at
when her car stalled on a busy thor
oughfare. She had made quick stop.
The motor stopped, and then refused
to start. Some Wayside mechanic told
her the valves were sticking. adding
other equally far-fetched ideas. Tie
real trouble was with the carburetOr
mixture. If she had opened the throttle
when recranking the mixture would
have been leaned out enough for start.
Not every woman knows where the
hand control of the throttle is located
on the new cars. Once in the center
of the steering post, this control has
now been switched to the dash, where
it works exactly like a choke button.
If the car has the starter button On
the dash, however, all the driver need
do to open the throttle is to press On
the accelerator while cranking.
The idea seems to prevail that buyers
of high-priced cars obtain special dis
counts and fat allowances. Apparently
there isn't much to support the theory.
A woman tells me she was offered only
5000 on her old car in trade for S6,ODO
creation. The old car had served as
station wagon for eight years and
finally sold for cash to the tune Of $25.
The automobile business isn't so loosely
conducted as some motorists would hare
US believe.
How many times do I have to inje.t
into these remarks the value of alWa.rs
trying to restart a warm motor with
out using the choke? By following this
rule you can save gas, oil dilution and
time. The other evening a woman
visitor had to delay the start five min
utes because she pulled out the choke
as if it were dead Winter.
Have you ever used a good dust cloth
to wipe the excess water off the top
of the battery and then found the
cloth eaten away like a Swiss cheese
when you wanted to use it again? If
so. let me suggest the advantage in
using blotters for this sort of work.
They dry of the battery top in short
order and in a way that will not soil
your hands.

Both officers and men Of the National
| Guard of the District of Columbia
heard with regret the fact that Maj
Gen. Anton Stephan. their commander,
was forced to take six months leave OF
absence on account of his health. He
is now in the Mount Alto Veterans
Hospital here. Gen. Stephan had been
in the hospital for some time prior to
the encampment this Summer, but left
to go to Camp Albert c. Ritchie at Cas-
cade. Md, with his command. Upon
his return he Immediately re-entered
the hospital.
During Gen. Stephan's absence. Col.
John w. Oehmann has been designated
in command. in addition to his duties
as commander of the 121st Regiment
Of Engineers. Gen. Stephan also Is
commander Of the 29th National Guard
Division, which comprises the organized
militia of this city. the States of Mary
land and Virginia and portion OF
I Pennsylvania. Brig. Gen. Milton A.
Reckord, commanding the National
Guard of Maryland and the 58th In
fantry Brigade of the division, is the
senior line officer in the division set-up.
and as such will assume the division
command. it was said at the division
headquarters here.
Since Gen. Stephan has been con-
fined at the hospital he has been direct
ing the affairs of the Guard from there.
by holding frequent conferences with
his officers. He also has been actively
directing the efforts to have funds pro-
vided by the Public Works. Administra-
ton for use in the construction of an
armory here exclusively for the use of
the Guard, and it is known to be one Of
the goals of the generals military
n q m
the construction Of an armory. thus
, ending efforts of more than a quarter
of a century.
Local and Federal officials have the
matter under consideration. 1t was
pointed out that the time is opportune
for providing funds for this construc-
tion because Of the work it will provide.
Besides the local troops are scattered
throughout the city in various dilapi-
dated buildings. wholly unsuited to the
purpose for which they are being used;
that is. the training of citizen soldiers
for duty in the field in case of an
emergency.
The local troops have been held to
be a Federal militia, the only one of its
kind in the country. it was pointed out.
In other jurisdictions the militia or
CARNATIONS are State troops. and the
Federal Government requires the State
to provide adequate armory facilities
before recognizing their units and lend
ing them Federal property for training
purposes. 1t has been pointed out that
even in view Of this requirement the
Federal Government has failed to set
an example for the States by providing
a model armory here for the training
Of the local miltiamen.
There is a strong hope that some
definite u-i1 M IF
gotiations now under way for an ar
mory. and that construction will be
started in short time So far in the
negotiations, it was said, nothing def
mite has been developed as to site,
and this is important in connection
with the cost. if land has to be pro-
vided. However, it is known that sew

San Francisco. (UP)--Construc- ton of the San Francisco. Oakland Bay Bridge, to be tho largest structure of It's kind in the world, will provide William Reed, holder of the deep water diving record, many opportunities to better his world record.

 Reeds deep sea diving record of 240 feet was made when he de- seconded to the floor of the Golden Gate. Engineers predict he will have occasion to best this mark if he inspects all of the underwater supports.

The increasing popularity Of the retreat movement among the Catholic iaity of Connecticut is convincingly emphasized by the announcement of q schedule for the months of July and August at tho Aquinns retreat on Charles Island, near Milford.

Rose Bush Pests
 Must Be Fought
Brown Canker, MIdew, Black Spot Among Diseases
 Destroying Plants During Summer

Rose lovers are now starting to wage their annual war against plant diseases and destructive pests which destroy bushes during the summer months. Brown canker, mildew, black spot and leaf-eating insects are now making their ap- pearance in gardens which have not received the attention necessary to prevent fungous diseases and in- sects, and 1t is vital to the welfareI of the plants that Q definite cafn- paign be waged to overcome and control these evils.
 Black spot, which. Is undoubtedly the most destructive of rose dis Black circular spots appear on the leaves, which turn yellow and drop off. Vitality of the plant is weak ened and often winter Killing re- suits.
 Brown canker attacks the canes of roses, and appears as reddfch, circular spots which frequently girdle cane. causing death of distal
 Mildew causes grayish white spots to appear on leaves, shoots and buds, resulting in stunted growth and malforfhed buds.
 Numerous studies for the control of plant diseases and destructive time and many mixtures arc now pests have been made from time to available. One of the most recent Is Q chemical dust made of man. ganese arscnato and other mater ials, which Is at once fungicide and inscctide. Exhaustive tests are said to have shown the high effi- ciency of the dust in the control of black spot, brown canker and mildew, and also most icaf-eating insects and the red spider, as well, without deposits of prominent rcs- idues on the foliage or flowers.
 This chemical dust is also said to be effective as a control for fun gous diseases and most ieaf.eating Insects on other flowers.
 One of the necessary points to be remembered, however, in suc- cessful combating of diseases, Is the collecting and burning of all dead leaves which fall to the ground. No diseased leaves should be allowed to remain in the rose beds.

SOLVES SMILE OF MONA LISA

Chicago, III, (UP)-The secret Of Mona Lisa's haunting, eriigmatic smilc-a smile that has puzzled art critics for years--has perhaps been discovered at last.
 Tho dlscoverer, Dr Maurice Goldblatt, art authority. claims that the expression Is due to q gcometrical trick of Leonardo da Vinei, the painter. The Florentino, famed as q mathematician and an engineer as well as an artist, tlted the lips of the Mona Lisa on the arc of circle, the ends of which just touch tho outer corners of the eyes. Tine arc of another circle form tho outline of tho head. and the second circle is exactly twice the diameter of the first. Accord. ing to Dr Goldblatt, the circles cause the eyes to focus on the lips and make them one of the out standing portions of hte painting.
 The geometricai pattern not only Is evident in tho Mona Lisa, but in others of Da Vinci's works, particularly the "Virgln Of the Rocks," where the formation of the face by circles again holds true,
