Sneer wastes fu ens, it is said, help to. create an excessive demand which ultimately enhances the price. As the result of a recent investigation, the prediction is made that unless car owntrs turn over a new leaf, close to a bl on gal- lons a-.lons of ,gasoline will be waited dui'•• izig the present year. The average car owner does not conceive of the important part his particular engine plays in conserving, pr wasting gasoline,' continues the associations report, "He does not even appreciate the role the proper functioning of his engine plays in cutting his own fuel! costs. That is why it is estimated that the wastage of gasoline annually represents an expense to motorists of $180,600,000• Every car owner could save about 4, cents per gallon, and the individual loss of gasoline through carbon chok- ed engines and too richly adjusted carburetors should fie •left out of dis- cussion until' car owners sense the, seriousness of the situatyofi.' e "To tell a motorist that his engine is wasting gas because it is -choked with carbon does not spur him on to remedying the condition; but once be hus•a glimpse of the sum total of the • nation's carelessness with respect to its motor car he raises the hood and looks into the situatiog. Carbon is not a vague something which ac- cumulates in a motor -and has to be cleaned out every spring. It is a very real efficiency -killing deposit of dirt, oil and unburned gasoline, which ac- cumulates by degrees and which can be minimized, even neutralized, in the same way. It is now estimated that 90 per e 1 cent. .of carbon 'is dirt drawn in through the carburetor. Air cleaners and strainers will therefore grehtly improve the efficiency of the engine; but where the car owner is not able to attach such devices, feeding each cylinder with a table spoonful - of kerosene through the pet cocks when the engine is left for the night will eliminate much of the carbon as it is deposited. "The wastage of feel caused by the carbon is by no means confined to its habits of heating to a cherry red and pre -igniting the cylinders' gases. It does its damages mostly around the valve heads( causing them to re- main slightly open when they are supposed to be closed. This reduces comprestion by allowing the gas to leak back into the carburetor or out' the exhaust.. One -valve that does not close tightly or which is stuck he - cause the owner neglects to oil the valve stem will practically cut out er, entire cylinder which, 'in the case . of a six -cylinder engin means a waste of about 30 per cent, of its pow- er and, its fuel.

I put on my • slippers, lit the grate fire, put a 'cello • record of 'Home, 'Sweet Home' on the phonograph, and sat backin an easy chair to rest my brain, body and nerves. Do you know, before the piece was finished, I could just feel a soothing feeling coming over. That old song will never die, will it'?" Many such a compliment has been paid to that song, the one hundredth aeniversary of the first public per- formance of which will fall on May 8th, and as such that 'date is being made something of in many sections of the English speaking world. This number finds a place in every folio of home songs, from the oldest volumes in our grandfathers' homes to the niost recent collections of s'ongs for community singing. It has been sung on the concert platform by prima don- nas, from Patti to Galli-Curci. It has been performed," by the world's lead- ing violinists and 'cellists. Almost every boy has chosen it for his first attempt on the mouth organ;, The words of "Home, Sweet Home" were composed by. John, Howard Payne, who was born in New York City, at 33 Pearl Street. He wanted to be an actor, but his father discourr aged it. Young Payne became a clerk in a counting house, tried his hand at journalism,, • but afterwards, through the assistance of ,a novelist, he took a college course. His father having got into financial difficulties, Payne left college and went on the stage, of which work he made a great success for a time. Later Payne went to London'mid Paris and wandered to other parts of the world. He made gobd money at times with his writings, but was. any-, thing but thrifty. ,One dull October day in old London, when he was'feel- ing depressed and the .pinch •of lack of funds, the words of "Home, Sweet Home" came to him. In 1823 Chas. Kemble bought Payne's znanuscripts and among them was a poem, "C1ari, the Maid of Milan."' Kemble' per- suaded him to alter this into a libret- to for an opera, the music fpr which was composed by Henry Rowley Bish, op.

A crane over a tirep,t holds the sing= ing kettle, no dining table, no sink. in which to wash the simple dishes', chopstieks instead of silver and . no table linen to worry over., Odd, we allow, but you would probably not swap a good American kitchen for it even with a rare old Mandarin coat thrown in. Bet these home condi- tions show why, stove luncheons cooked right on the table and .tray service are generally used and why the food is cut fine for chopsticks and comes canned in ,this way. Many raw foods *are used • and tempura fritters the size of 80 -cent pieces takes the place of our own bread, dumplings or biscuit. Rice is always present in some form. , The Japanese eat little if any fat and at home very little meat, thopgh they are not, strictly speaking, vege- tarians, since fish is e . very im- portant article of their diet. Coffee and cheese are, of course, taboo,. and very little butter 'and milk are used.

BUILDING UP BEE COLONIES It is essential that every beekeeper_ should have all his , colonies in the best of condition, i.e., strong in bees of the right flying age at the mom mencement of..fiihe main flow in order • tient the largest, possible crop may be harvested. - The first step, then, in building up should be taken toward the 'end of the honey flow, about the last week in July or first in August, when the beekeeper should see "hat each' col- ony is headed by a vigorous young queen so that plenty of young bees may be rearedlfor the winter. Should. no nectar be coming in, it might be necessary to .stimulate brood rearing' by feeding;, especially is this noes - sexy fon nuclei. Later, he should see that all col- onies contain an abundance of whole- some stores, -and that• the bees have adequate protection from the cold, in order that they may winter with as 'little loss as possible. Despite the best of preparations for a winter, it will sometimes be fount \ when the colonies are removed from their winter quarters that the are low in vitality and vary greatly in strength. - `• To conserve their vitality cellar wintered colonies should when'brouglit out be protected where possible, also they should be shielded by some sort of windbreak. Unless lots of stores are present in the spring .colonies will build :but slowly. It will, therefore, be nee s- sary early in the season to see that all have sufficient stores of honey.. •In most localities' there -is ample pol- len.. Combs of honey should be plac- ed, after breaking the cappings, one on each side of the brood nest• Should spring flowers fail it might be neces- sary to feed to prevent brood -rearing being curtailed. In localities where pollen is not abundant, combs con- taining it should be saved and given • in the .spring. - The problem of the beekeeper, then, is to bring the medium colonies up t6 the strength of the strong ones. This may be done by uniting weak colonies to them or by giving a comb of sealed brood with adhering bees. If desired, a weak colony may be built up by placing it above a strong colonpith an excluder between them. No entrance is provided a- bove:'•Thia is best done in the even- ing. ,First, remove the cover and al-- low l-low the cool air to.caute the bees of the strong colony to recede. The weak Colony is then gently placed above without the use of smoke. Three weeks later• the upper colony, now •quite strong,; is removed to a new stand. Water is required early in the spring for brood rearing' until new honey is coming in, and unless a na- tural supply is near the apiary it should be furnished. - XEXCRUCIATING PAINS, , CjRAIIMIS Entirely Remedied by Lydia E.
