"Be prepared!" That is the motto of the Boy Scouts! It should be the motto now of every imotor car owner. Whether he intends to operate his car or not during the winter, he should be prepared. If he does not intend to run the car, then there is the idea of proper winter quarters for the machine. The car should ‘be properly prepared even for winter storage. It will make a lot of difference in the spring. And if the car is to be operated, then there is all the more reason why it should be fully prepared for the winâ€" ter weather and conditions. This inâ€" cludes having your car checked and tuned in time for winter driving. It also means that you should have a strong dependable battery that you know will turn over stiff, stubborn moâ€" tors. Then, of course, you will specially need tires that will grip icy pavements 1935 Packard 120 Sedan 1936 Plymouth Special Sedan, Radio. 1935 Ford Pickâ€"up Winter Lubrication Motor Adjusted Brakes Adjusted Heaters Installed Phone 110 Phone 28 All the things referred to, and others suggested, might well be discussed with the advertisers on these pages.

Good windshield wipers and defrosters are essentials moreover that you should not overlook. You don‘t want to go driving blind, or go blind driving. Now is the time to look after this and other matters about your car. Don‘t wait until winter is on top of you and over and about your car. Next the matter of lubrication is someâ€" thing for much thought. There should be proper lubrication so that all bearâ€" ings and moving parts are protected. This is really more important in winter hnan in summer. Of caurse, a dependable heater that is safe and that will really throw heat is a nice friend for the car and its driver in the cold days th@t "won‘t tbe lonz now." Colour in Home in This Colourful Age (By W. . Clements) This is the age of colour, as is eviâ€" denced by our motor cars, our clothes, our jewelery, our bathroom fixtures, yea even our kitchen pots and pans, and so it is scarcely to be wondered that many of our wallpapers are showing more and more lively colourings. Don‘t be Afraid of Bold Colour Plans. Whatever your decorative scheme, approach it boldly and don‘t be afraid of pattern and colour on your walls, and don‘t feel that their use is limited to a few rooms of the house. One thing, thoughâ€"if your walls are to be patternedâ€"hold fast to plain draperies. floor coverings and upholstery; that‘s almost axiomatic! (From Baltimore Sun) One of the most frequent of airplane accidents is that in which the ‘plane, the view of its pilot obscured by fog or night, crashes into the side of a mounâ€" tain. His barometric altimeter shows the pilot that, he is a . safe height above sea level, but it does not tell him his height above the land actually beâ€" low him. He has no real "sounding‘" apparatus such as that carried nowaâ€" days by wellâ€"equipped ships. If we may believe the despatches, it is now likely that all airplanes will soon be equipped with an "absolute" altimeterâ€"that is to say, an altimeter which constantly records the height of the ‘plane not above sea level but above the nearest obstruction of whatever nature. By the use of a device which measures the elapsed time between the sending af a radio signal and its reâ€" fiection and return from the earth beâ€" neath, the pilot is able to see, on a dial in front of him, his actiual clearance, in feet, from the nearest protuberance. It is said that the instrument is so sens!â€" tive that the needle jiggles even when, fAying above water, the ‘plane passes over a rowboat. A correspondent, writâ€" ing in the New York Times, is authoriâ€" ty for the statement that, fying down the Hudson River, the gadget reaprded the presence of the George Washington Rridge and, of course, of the Palisades. The companics announcing the inâ€" vention are careful to say that it is not yei perfected. For one thing, as now. used, it weighs about fifty pounds, which is considered far too much for immediate adoption. But the principle involved., according to the announce-l Modern papers with their washable waterâ€"resistant and fadeless qualities make it possible for every room to share in the vivacity and gaiety of design and colour. As a result there are numerous charming designs for the nursery with sprightly fanciful figures designed to intrigue the fancy of your young; crisp, clearcut patterns for the kitchen to make merrier the labours of the cook. Of you can brighten the white starkâ€" ness of a bathroom with an extravagant floral or other design in the bath and shower mcess, or a pattern all over the walls. Steam and splashing water will have no more effect than water on the proverbial duck‘s back. Rooms en suite or opening into each other should be carefully handled and treaied either as one unit with the same wallpaper throughout, or, if difâ€" ferent wallpapers are selected care should be exercised that the choice is of papers of the same general tone, or if contrasts are chosen that thy are narâ€" monizing. Many decorators suggest and recomâ€" mend that living rooms, dining rooms and halls on one floor be. decorated with the same wallpaper, which gives an effect of breadth and spaciousness, not obtainable by any other means. This type of decoration, of course, apâ€" plies largely to the modern apartment and smaller home, where the effect mentioned is an advantage. One of the most important basic rules of all interior decoration is that the heaviest and darkest color values must be on the lower part of the room. New Instrument for the Safety of Airplanes THE PORCUFINE ADVANCE, TTMMINE, OKNTARIO ment, is a wellâ€"known and proven one, so that the lishtening and standardâ€" izing of the equipment necessary should not bea matter of many months. It is hard to exaggerate the importâ€" ance ‘of such a development, for it would: have the effect not only of preâ€" venting accidents but of making it posâ€" sible for a ‘plane to fily, and even to land, in weather in which at present most machines are wisely grounded. The nearest analogue in land transâ€" port is the Cevelopment of the mailroad block system. That, too, gave the pilot of the train the opportunity to see the route before him farther than his sight could travel, and him to know when the coast was clear to go ahead or when it was necessary to take care in order to avoid an obstacle. If the block system has prevented wrecksâ€" and it has certainly prevented thouâ€" sands of themâ€"then the new absolute altimeter has an almost equivalent pcriential value. Washington.â€"Nathan â€" Straus, Adâ€" minstrator of the United States Housâ€" ing Authority, expects 5,000 famili¢s a month to "emigrate" from American slums beginning early next year. Better Homes for 5,000 U.S. Families Making the forecast today, he reportâ€" ed that $7,545,892 has been advanced by the USHA to 28 local housing authâ€" orities for more than 5,000 dwelling unâ€" its now under construction. The anticipated rate of slum clearâ€" ance, Mr. Straus said, will require $20,â€" 000,000 to $30,000,000 of construction every month, Advances to date barely have: nicked either the $600,000,000 which USHA has for slum clearance and lowâ€"cost housing loans or its $200,â€" 000,000 for local subsidies.

However, many mayors, . notably those of New York, Detroit and San Francisco have asked for more money than can be granted under the preâ€" sent programme, Mr. Straus said. Continue Indefinitely "This local interest leads m»e to beâ€" lieve that we can continue indefinitely on our present basis," he said. Noted Harley street specialist declares golf is a healthful exercise only if the player "takes an interest." Does he imagine that dubs stick to the gamse Jjust to annoy themselves? : No, doc, love of goif is what makes the world go roundâ€"in 123.â€"(From the Windsor Daily Star). Mr. Straus‘ recapitulation,. showed $573,727,000 set aside since Nov. 1 for loans to 142 cities in 27 states, the Disâ€" trict Columbia, Hawaii, and Purrto Rico. Of this, $202,807,000 is under contract to 43 cities in 19 states for 81 projects involving construction of 40,â€" 363 dwelling units. To hold tight to pennies and to be keen on saving scraps and odds and ends of thingsâ€"that is the wrong sort of economy. The person who picks up pins and bits of string is likely to be a waster of time. The person who scolds 2n employee because of a nickel waste is likely to lose more than five cents worth of goodwiil. Time and goodwillâ€"they are worth as much as money or materials. â€"â€"Efficiency Magazine., The Administrator reported construcâ€" tion ‘cost would be well below statuâ€" tory limits. The maximum cost a room permited «in cities of more than 500,â€" 000 is $1,250. New York‘s "Red Hook" project cost $911 and Bufialos "Lake View" $946 a room. "Shelter Rentals" Mr. Straus estimated "shelter renâ€" tals" (unfurnished quarters) at from $2 to $5.18 a room a month. Rentals on an Austin, Texas, pr OJect, go as low as $1.87, he said. There are now +205 local housing authorities. When the federal agency began work there were 46. Housing laws were enacted during the year by Caliâ€" fornia, Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia, bringinz to 33 the number of states which have authorized coâ€"operaâ€" tion with the USHA. Eleven states enacted perfecting amendment.s to exâ€" isting laws. To be economical is all very well, but many people carry economy too far. They are like the Scoteman who learnâ€" ed to read Braille to save light, Meanwhile, Coleman Woodbury, DIâ€" rector of the National Association of Housing Officials, advocated a Nationâ€" al Federation of Municipal Housing Authorities with a central "clearing house" for projects. In his annual report, Mr. Woodbury warned members against any policy which might lead to housing of relief regcj.pjent in slums at Government exâ€" pense. Mr. Straius forecast that at least 10 more states would en@ct housing laws when their legislatures meet next year. WHAT MAKES THE WORLD sPIN carpet (By Katherine Masterson) Samue] Johnson was so generous and softâ€"hearted that he could not trust himself on the street with much money in his pocket. Even if he knew the beggars would spend the money for drink, he could not refuse them. After Augustus Caesar had captured Alexandria, he tobk none of the royal treasures for himself, keeping only one porcelain cup. If "Bank Night" bores you, blame it on Nero. He started it. He used to give public entertainments and durâ€" ing the evening threw little numbered balls into the crowd. When these balls were presented at his treasury, the holders were entitled to gifts ranging all the way from a small spot of cash to a mansion and estate replete with food, clothes, jewels, slaves, animals ships, etc. Turner once smeared the golden sky of one of his landscapes with lampâ€" black because the painting‘s brightness spoiled the effect of a fellow artist‘s portraits which hung beside it. When a horrified friend asked what he had done, Turner replied, "Oh, poor Lawâ€" rence was so unhappy! It‘s only lampâ€" black. It‘ll all wash off after the 2exâ€" hibition."
