Now I keep the oil tightly covered, and I also keep the measure that I pour from covered all the time.

Just as important as the grade of oil is~the care of the conta.iner used to put the oil in the car. I learned this lesson when I ran a twin motor- bike with the oil-can top open one sum- mer. Enough sand got into the engine that way to necessitate taking the engine down and reg-rinding the cyb- inder. I could feel the grit in the oil that came out. of he machine.

She picked it up and examined the worn elbow. “I can mend that in two min- utes, dear,” she said, with a consoling pat on the blonde ,‘head half buried in the sofa pillows. A sob answered h‘e‘r; then another. rShe sighed and laid the sweater down again. ‘ “Denis,” she said gently, “you’ll find my purse in the left-hand back corner of my top bureau drawer.” ' quite “That you, Irene?. . . .No, I cah’t come. It's all off . . . . . . Yes, I know, but she says she won’t give it to me. Of course I need it worst way, but what’s the use?. . . .Oh, cut it out, Irene, it’s all off, I tell you!” The click of the disconnected telephone chimed in with a disconsolate sob. Contrary to her expectation, there was no argument, merely a look that overflowed with reproach. Doris went to the telephone, and presently the mother heard: ' “Doris, Where did you get that wafist?” . “At the Florentine 'Shopp-e. Isn’t it a peach?” She turned slowly round “Did you ever see such handwork? Just look at the daisies on the yoke. It cost nine dollars, reduced from twelve-fifty. Where’s your purse, mother? I’ve got to beat it.” “That settles it, Doris,” the mother said firmly. “I’m not going to enâ€" courage you in any more extrava- gance. You had no business to buy that expensive blouse; it’s ridiculous for a schoolgirl! No, don’t coax me. My mind’s made up.” She bit off a needleful of black cotton, carefully avoiding her daughter’s eye. “What’s the use in harping on that when you won’t make daddy raise my allowance?” Doris sat up very straight. “You know that I can’t buy a stocking that will last two minutes for less than a dollar and a halfâ€"at the least. By the way, there’s a sale of Italian silk ones this afternoon; if you make that five a ten, I can get some bargains. That would be real economy. Please, motherl” “Doris, don’t! You nearly got that needle [in your, eye. Yes, of course I like to be hugged, dear child, but not when I’m sewing. And it doesn’t do a 'bit of good to coax and wheedle, for I'm not going to give you another cent for clothes until your allowance is due.” The mother straightened her collar. “You know what daddy said when he heard what yofir new bathing suit cost. And I don’t likeâ€"” Discipline. She burst into the living room, call- ing, “Mother, where are you, mother?” quite as if her parent had broken the habit of a lifetime and had deserted the mending basket on Thursday after- noon. “Listen, mother! I’ve got to get 'a new sweater. Can you let me have five dollars? They’re four- ninety-five at Klein’sâ€"smile bargain!” She flung herself into the morris chair; “Wow, but I’m tired! I would: n’t stir one step if I wasn’t afraid all the pastel shades would be snapped up before I get there. What’s the matter, “Oh, please, mother, just this oncell Honestly, I won’t ask for a single‘ other thing, not even the stockings, if you’ll let me get the sweater. I need one worst way, and it’s a crime not to take advantage of that sale.” Shel thrust an accusing elbow under her parent’s nose. “Pipe that thin place, will you? It'll be a hole first thing you know. You don’t want to see me_ in rags, do you?" She waited for a! sign of surrender. A’full minute pas- sed. Then the mother said uncer- tainly: The workta'ble was overturned in the mad rush of gratitude. “Mumsy, you’re a good old scout!” The despis- ed sweater hurtled through the air and lay in a crumpled pink heap. “Thank goodness I needn’t wear that old ruin another minute! Where's your purse, mother? I want to meet Irene at Klein’s at five. Why, what’s the mat- ter ? that ? ” “If I do let you get the sweater, Doris, please understand that it’s only because the one you have on is getting shabby, not because I approve of your losing your head over bargain sales.

Although iron bacteria are manu- facturing new deposits all the/Lime, this is not of great importance as far as the supply of iron is concerned. Bodies of ore are being formed more rapidly than we used to think, but na- ture probably cannot create iron as fast as we are using it. It is interesting, however, to note that the greamst deposits of iron ore in the world that are being mined are in the arctic and subarctic regions, or in zones where nearly half the year is Winter, as in the Lake Superior coun- try. The greater commercial activity in the colder regions may partly ac- count for this, for there are extensive iron ore formations in the tropics and subtropics. But the fact remains that iron bacteria live in pure water and that. in the colder regions water. is most likely to be pure. Sheaths of dead iron bacteria have been found in multitudes in limonite deposits, and enormous deposits of several kinds of iron ore are known to result from their work. Yet we know little about them; They may even be at the very threshold of life. The screens should not' be away in any old place in order them out of the way. It is pack them all together and cow up nicely somewhere in the where it is dry and clean. If i with cloth or paper they do ‘ come so dusty and it is a small indeed to get them ready for u season. If rubbed lightly v oiled cloth, they are again re: use, look bright and clean, and ' additional touching up with 0 will not easily rust. Iron bacteria live in either standing or running clear waters that contain iron compounds; not in turbid waters and those containing much organic matter. So active are they in estab- lishing deposits of fe{ric hydroxide that water pipes of ci ies where the water contains ferrous carbonate have been known to be completely closed by them. It is best to oil the screens witk cloth that is saturated in oil, as this method the screens are eve; covered, and too much oil will not g on them, as would be the case ,if brush were used for the purpose.

Thef are also a great convenience and make the house cool and attractive when properly cared for. The time spent in caring for them is time profit- ably employed and will save many dollars besides :in the course of a few year's’ time. The most imaginative among us would hardly suspect that bugs are responsible, at least in part, for the common flatiron and other useful ar- ticles made from the same metal. Yet European physicists have known for some time that there are “iron-ore bacteria," and the fact is now com- monly accepted in America. inventory of them, discarding those that are completely worn out. It is not enough to merely take an in- ventory of the screens on hand at the end of the season and properly place them away in some corner of the house where they will not -be in the way until wanted again next season. This is indeed the way I used to do it, but I have found it a poor method and a costly one as well.
