‘TWO OF WORLD’S COSTLIEST.FOUNTS* The luxury and beauty of the 18th century Court of the French Kings at Versailles has never been equalled by any other nation or dynasty. Architects, Landscape Gardeners, Painters and Dec orators had only to visualize their most elaborate dreams to the Bourbon’s of the 18th century In order to have the public coffers of France open to them that their dreams might become palaces in fact—playgrounds of unheard of beauty for the whims of the King’s favorites. The beautiful fountains at Versailles,‘ shown above, built by Louis XIV of France for the amusement of his notoriously extravagant Court are the most famous, but not the most expensive nor the most extravagant of fountain displays in the world: that unfortunate distinction is reserved for the foun tains created by the carelessness of the American motorists who maintain their fountain display all winter; whereas the French Republic feels it can afford to display the gorgeous Jets at Ver sailles but a few minutes each year. Many owners of expensive as well as moderate priced cars pay little or no attention to those Blmple rules which if followed regularly will repay them many fold in the added pleasure derived from the performance of their motors. Common sense should tell us that machinery of any kind, especially that found in any make of motor car needs some sort of attention. The caroless American motorist could save himself millions of dollars yearly if he would put denatured alcohol in his radiator before the first freezing weather and keep his radiator with a high enough percentage of denatured alcohol to avoid freezing all winter. It is estimated that $2,500,000 is expended on repairing the havoc wrought by radiators frozen and clogged with inferior antifreeze mixtures, while ten per cent of that amount spent on “Freezing Insurance’’ in the form of denatured alcohol would have saved this needless outlay.
