Show THE MIDVALE JOURNAL rhursday, January 30,1930 AUTOMOBILES TO MAKE FAST SPEED SAFE Conception of "Uncle Sam" Goes Back to 1812 OLD DOCTOR'S IDEA The creato1 of "Uncle Sam" is unknown. The character first appeared in publications during the War of 1812. The type is il p;enial Yankee t.radet of the time: the beard, the hat, and the cut of the clothes, are of that period. The earliest recorded use of t11e name Uncle Sam for the United States p;overnment ·pears te be in the Troy (N. Y.) Post of September 7, 1813. The Post used it In a phrase '' hich already had some popular currency, and explained that "the letters U. S. on the government wagons, etc., are supposed to have given rise to It." At first the nickname was employed only In the anti-war papers, and In a derisory sense. The cartoon conception of Uncle Sam did not arri>e until a little later. There seems to he no ground for n popular story ascribing the origin to "Uncle Ram" "'llsr>n, a government inspector in the ·war of 1812.

Denver Boy is a Winner Above Is Shown the Artist's Conception of What the Automobile Will Be When Transportation Requirements Will Demand Ten Years From Now Safe Speeds In Excess of 100 Miles an Hour Over Superhighways. What manner o:t automobile will rule the roads ten years from now, successfully competing with airplanes that cruise' far overhead and land on top!< of skyscrapers with utmost security? Behind a screen or deepest mystery, one of the great automob!le manufac· turers of the United State::; is e~·olv lng just such an automobile. It will oot be ready for several years, probably, and by that time It is anticipated that roads suitable for safe speeds well In excess of 100 miles an hour wlll extend the length and breadth of the country. Wind pressure, which now fights against speed, wlll be the friendly genii that will make these great speeds safe. 'l'o this end, every feature of the mystery car Is being tested in the whirlwind of super wind tunnels, de· signed after exhaustive research by ventilating engineers. Powerful fans provide hurricanes beyond any ever loosed by nature in her wildest moods. Under the pressure of a wind which, If developed by the car's own motion, would represent a speed far in excess of 100 miles an hour, this mystery model hugs the ground and is held steady against all stresses and strains of the road. As scientists know, a fast mo>lng object acting on still air causes It to present almost the characteristics of a solid, and this fact is being utilized to the utmost In the development of the car of the future. Instead of exerting a pressure that tends to lift the car from the ground as In the ca~e of most present-day models, the wind pushes down, exerting tremendous pressure and making It impo::;:sihle for the car to turn over while traveling at high speed. Thi!; tends to make speeds in excess o! 100 miles an hour reall.Y safer than the slower speeds. and with good roads built to equal the capacity of the car, will brln~; about a new era of fast automobile transportation. Some Idea of how this works can be obtained by looking at the "Golden Arrow," the racing car of Maj. B. 0. D. Seagrave, who established a record ot 231.2 miles per hour on the sands of Daytona Beach, Fla. So far this car represents tl1e farthest advance In turning wind resist· ance Into "wind assistance" ever seen in the United States. The scoop-like prow presents an area against which the wind forms a terrific pressure. The gently upward slope transfers this back pressure Into a downward pressure which holds the car against the road. Careful streamlining prevents counter-acting pressures againfrt the rest of the car. HONEY IS USEFUL IN ZERO WEATHER Attempting ~o Eliminate Road Crossing Accidents The Ideal acation Land s I Mixed With Water It Has Been Tested as Antifreeze Solution. !Prepared by the United Sta.tes Ocpa.rtrnent ot Agriculture.) Another agricultural product finds a new use. This time it is honey. Honey, mixed with water, bas been tested as an antifreeze solution by private motorists and state agricultural colleges. Practically all reports of these experiments have been favorable, says James I. Hambleton, apiculturist in charge or the bee culture laboratory ot the United States De· partment of Agriculture. It Is good business to hatch chicks early. • • • Avoid Leakage. When honey Is used as au antifreeze mixture It Is Important that all gasgets, pump packing, and hose connections be tight. A slight seepage around the bose connection Is not serious, but any considerable quantity leaking Into the engine may cause considerable difficulty. Should honey reach the cylinders and valve heads, it will carbonl2.e, making It necessary to remove the engine head and clean out the residue. u In hauling eggs to the market, do not expo,;e them to tile direct rays of the sun. • • • Proper Proportion. The proper proportion of honey to water varies according to the lowest temperature expected, says Mr. Hambleton. Where zero weather is expected, equal parts of honey and water are commonly used. Such a mixture be~ins to form slush at zero, however, and a greater proportion of honey Is required for best results at lower temperatures. In the northern part of the United States and in Canada a mixture of three parts of honey to two of water, or even two to one, may be best. A quart of alcohol added to each three gallons or the mixture will lm· prove the circulation. 'l'o make the solution, use a cheap grade of extracted honey, stirring It into hot water. Heat the mixture to a boil and skim otT the scum. 11' alcohol Is used, stir it in and boil from three to five minutes. FlU the radiator and maintain the level by adding water as needed. Mr. Hambleton cites a num!Jer of advantages of the honey mixture. · Be· cause it bolls at a higher temperature than water there Is no toss from evaporation, and it is necessary to add only water from time to time. Boney solutions expand much less than water when freezing, and when ln proper proportions they do not freeze solid but form a slush. This tends to eliminate the danger of bursting rad· iators. Furthermore, says Mr. Hambleton, some motorists may find It advantageous for use In the summer when long steep grades or heavy pulls are encountered, for it not only freezes at a lower temperature but bolls at a higher temperature than water. '' Poultry Hints Insl!'<t that the buyer pay cash for your eggs, and that he buy them on a quality or grade basis.

Generally the white light ts flashing. \Vhen a train comes near it makes a contact on the rail which changes tlle light to a red flash. Air Cleaners Essential Portion of Automobile Air cleaners are now an essential part of nearly every automobile and tractor engine, keeping out dust and minimizing wear. '!'he oil-wetted type of air cleaner genet·ally wlll operate a year without attention; but under extremely dusty conditions they need cleaning oftener. This Is done by removing the cleaner and moving It up and down In a pail of gasoline.
