HIGH COST OF SPEED
Do you know that the mo-
te of your car uses from
tRree to seven times as qjuch
oil at sixty miles an hour as
it does at thirty if
J)o you know that one grade
h^vier oil will reduce your
speed about five miles per
hour and lower your gasoline
mileage?
Do you know that fifty per
cent of motorists throw away
nearly half the fuel they pour
into their tanks?
According to a study made
by an auto expert, a motor
will consume half a quart of
oil in 1,000 miles at 25 miles
an hour. At 65, it uses 4*/2
quarts.
Between these speeds your
gas bill increases from $8.75
to $14, your tire cost from
$1.50 to $10.50, service from
$4 to $13, and overall cost
from 1.44 cents to 3.80 cents
per mile.
On a 1,000-mile trip, the
difference in cost between 55
and 65 miles an hour was
placed at $8.30.
Champion economy run
drivers who win "stingy"
competitions have no special
secrets that help, according
to Austin Elmore, test engi-
neer. Economy is achieved
by constantly watching the
fine points of driving. Nearly
even- one, he says, can get
surprising mileage by watch-
ing their driving habits and
training themselves to observe
a few simple rules. Excessive
high-speed getaways from in-
tersections, perpetual gun-
ning of the motor through
traffic and on the highway,
and racing the motor while.
standing still arc three things
drivers in economy runs re-;
fuse to do.
"An erratic driver with a
nervous foot on the accelera-
tor wastes almost as much,
gasoline again as his motor
needs," Elmore declares. "Be-
sides, a driver who is continu-
ally gunning his motor seldom
travels as far in a day as does >
the steady, consistent driver.
Economical driving requires
holding to a steady speed
with a steady increase of
speed when you want to go|
"faster. Consistent driving al-
so repays a motorist in maxi-
mum mileage for brakes and
tires, fewer repair bills, and
le^dangcr of accidents."
GARBAGE GREASE NETS
PROFIT IN WASHINGTON
ffrie tidy sum of $5,000 was ,
earned recently from the sale:
of grease reclaimed from gar-
bage in Washington, D. ('.
For many years the city has
whcessed part of its garbage
collection in a reduction plant,
and the resulting by-product,
grease, ha.s been stored in la-
Jfcuns. Taking advantage of
w rising market, in the last
year of which the price of i
grease has increased from •>1 j
to G'-_> cents per pound, the
city sold 1,0(10,000 pounds in '
October. Latest quotations:
on garbage grease are said to
be 8;i |. cents.
William Xantcn, supervisor
of city refuse in Washington,
states that each ton of gar-
bage yields about 45 pounds
of grease, and that the reduc-
tion plant is processing 20,-
000 tons of garbage yearly.—

But the natural man re-
ceiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither
can he know them, because
thev are spiritually discerned.

a cold stay home In bed
for a while. If you do
this, chances are you
will feci better anil be
well again pretty soon.

At Gatum a dam 7,200 feet long confines
the waters of Gatum Lake to form a reservoir
to protect against flood and supply water far

When the canal was opened to the com-
merce of the world, it shortened the sea route
between New York City and the West Coast
by over 8,000 miles.
The one big difficulty engineers have had
to solve is the numerous land slides. They
occur at all seasons of the year and the pre-
cise cause is not known with certainty. These
slides produce some strange effects, lu March.
1913, a sildc caused the bottom of the canal
near the center to be lifted up for a distance
of 1,000 feet.
The value of the waterway to the United
.States as well as other countries is beyond
estimate. We Americans are all proud of this
gigantic achievement. How our doctors and
nurses waged a battle against disease and
death while the canal was being built is a
wonderful story. The big ditch was cut
through miles of disease-infested swamps.

GREAT DISCOVERY THAT
WAS ACCIDENTAL
Jn the early part of the
19th century, the use of blot-
ting paper was discovered bj
mere accident. A workman,
engaged in the making of or-
dinary writing paper in a
Barkshire mil! in England,
was so careless as to forget
to put in the sizing. The pa-
per was apparently worthless.
The angry proprietor pick-
ed up a piece. It might do
for writing a note. To his
consternation the ink spread
the paper. Suddenly,
the thought occurred to him:
Could this paper be used for
drying ink in place of the
much-used sand'.' He ex-
perimented. succeeded, and
afterwards so'll his entire
damaged stock of paper for
blotting paper.
The proprietor also discov-
ered that by making a pink
blotting paper he could utilize
the red rags which he had
found useless for making
white paper.

The Panama Canal, in the limelight now
more than ever before because of Japans un-
declared war on the United States, Is one of
our most important outlying possessions.
It located at the narrowest point ol land
between Central and South America and be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is
bounded on the north by the Carnbean Sea,

ma and the Pacific Ocean and west by Costa

struction period of the Panama Canal covered
about 10 years, but the actual work of con-
struction was accomplished in 7 years; the
first three years were devoted to preliminary

Work was begun on the

United States agreed to pay
Panama $10,000,000 on the
ratification of the treaty and
$250,000 annually, beginning
