A Memorial to Warren G. Harding We created a “memorial highway” for our local ex-service men by inducing the Garden club to plant trees along the Des Moines road and obtaining a $500 appropriation from the county commis- sioners for upkeep. But the commissioners let the $500 slip into the pork barrel and get lost. Now the trees are, some of them, dying. Others are Overgrown with brush and smothered by weeds, We talked about some stately general memorial for the men who died in France and Flanders. We built none, We talked about a memorial for Roosevelt. All we did was to bestow the name of the president on one of our existing city parks. Now we are talking about a Harding memorial. We are talk- ing about a statue. Or about merely naming the University of Washington stadium Harding. Or something or other. In the name of city pride and self-respect, let’s quit so much CHATTER. If we are going to embody our love and respect and admiration for the president who died after his recent visit among us in some material monument, let us do it befittingly and well in STONE, CEMENT and STEEL. - Let us erect an heroic statue, or a great auditorium, or some other structure of which ' the city and the Northwest may be proud. Something new, some- thing which costs us money and work and sacrifice; that is the “only memorial worth while. Or, if we wish to rededicate the sta- dium as a memorial to him, then let us rebuild in new and stately -form the present structure, so that the completed work may be ' truly worthy of the thought behind the deed. Let us not be con- tent merely to rename the old. % _ And let. us not cheapen the whole subject of memorials to 'the honored and beloved dez ad with insincere and inane talk. SCIENCE Hermit Crabs.

The Decreasing Birthrate freed them of involuntar 90% OF THE TROUBLE UTOMOBILE repair special ists say that ninety per cent of the cylinder-reboring jobs are nec essary because the upper part of the cylinder walls is excessively worn as a result of inadequate lubrication. This can be traced to the fact that most oils form so much carbon when exposed to the flame of combustion in: the cylinders that they are recom- mended in bodies too heavy to splash or work up to the upper cylinder walls in quantities sufficient for correct lu brication, for such quantities of these oils would foul the combustion cham bers with excessive carbon in a very short time. + Zerolene, forming on an average 30% less carbon than other oils, and rec- ommended in bodies which assure thorough lubrication of all of the cyl- inder walls all of the time, is a safe- guard against carbon troubles and against “choke bored” cylinders.
