Automobile Advice 



In connection with the aid it has 

 been giving the Lincohi Highway, from 

 Coast to Coast, the Goodyear Tire & 

 Rubber Company has just pubhshed a 

 boolclet that cannot fail to be of inter- 

 est and help to Coast-to-Coast automo- 

 bile tourists — especially those traveling 

 by the Lincoln way. Most of the manu- 

 script was prepared by F. H. Trege, 

 chief engineer of the Lincoln Highway 

 Association, Detroit, — an automobile 

 engineer, a road expert and a man who 

 has made the Coast-to-Coast journey 

 many times by motor car. The booklet 

 contains a map of the route, discusses 

 routes, costs, time, equipment, advice 

 for a variety of emergencies, pro- 

 visions, etc. Here are a few "don'ts" 

 that are put down which are likely to 

 be as valuable as the positive advice: 



"Don't wait till the gasoline is nearly 

 gone before filling up. There might be 

 a delay. 



"Don't allow the water can to be 

 other than full of fresh water and fill 

 it every chance. You might spring a 

 radiator leak or burst a water hose. 



"Don't allow car to be without food 

 at any time. (List of eatables given.) 



"Don't buy oil in bulk. Buy one- 

 gallon original cartons. 



"Don't fail to have warm clothing. 

 High altitudes are cold and dry air is 

 jjcnetrating. 



"Don't carry loaded firearms in the 

 car, except possibly a small pistol. 



"Don't fail to put out your camp fire 

 when leaving. 



"Don't forget the yellow goggles. 



"Don't ford water without first wad- 

 ing through it. 



"Don't build a big fire for cooking. 

 The smaller llie better. 



"Don't drive over 2.t miles an hour. 

 I'nexpected, small, dry washouts in the 

 West will break springs. 



"Don't carry good clothes — ship 

 them. 



"Don't wear leather ])uttees. Canvas 

 is better. 



"Don't drink alkali water. 



"Don't wear new shoes." 



The book bristles with practical 

 points for long-distance motorists.

Windfall Apples 



Windfall apples, which are often left 

 on the ground to rot, may be made to 

 serve a useful purpose by the econom- 

 ical housewife. A little forethought 

 and labor at this time of the year spent 

 on a despised product of the orchard 

 may supply the winter table with many 

 an appetizing and wholesome dish 

 which otherwise would either be lack- 

 ing or supplied at a higher cost. Wind- 

 fall apples may be canned whole and 

 used as a breakfast dish, for dessert, 

 salads, or baked. There will be many 

 which are too much marred for can- 

 ning whole. In this case, the marred
