Reduces STARTING WEAR" which ages motors fast More than half the wear a motor gets is caused by inefficient lubrication when you spin the motor to start it and race the motor to warm it up. New POLARINE flows freely and lubricates efficiently every instant the motor operates. It prevents a great deal of the starling wear.

YOUR HOME OF TOMORROW Charm, convenience, durability, conditions of good health these are I the qualities sought by every owner of a home and delivered by every competent architect and builder. The borne today is not merely a shelter; the time when houses were built simply to provide inclosure from the elements is almost as dead as the time of cave-dwelling. Gone, also without regret, is the day when all sorts cf trick plans and exteriors were devised to make cute appear ances, even though interiors were less convenient than a kennel. The building of a home today is entirely different than it was ten veins ago. Not only do you get more for your money because of the acci dent depression, but also because great. r value in design and mater ials is built into the structure. The extraordinary growth of suburban life, in surroundings more or less roomy, with ground plots for all, and the extensive spread of the garden ing fever, have really revolutionized residential building. And all for the better. The progress poes on. The home of tomorrow is likely to be quite unlike the conven tional home of today, although the builder with imagination and taste can forestall the future. Our homes no doubt will face our back gardens and not face the street, and this change will be a great help. Whole parts of houses may be made on a production basis, so that a home can be built room by room, rather than brick by brick. There will be more windows, more space, more sun. The partitions may be removable or mov able, bo that the house room can be arranged to meet any exigency, t is possible, probable indeed, that some day we shall have community heat ing on a general scale, community garages and house service, and as suggested at the recent meeting of realtors in Washington, community kitchens. We move toward still more con venience, more leisure and more at tractiveness in our homes. Now, as standards have risen, prices have fallen. The time to build your home of tomorrow is today. It will be both a bargain and an investment. Well. well. well. We see by its papers that last summer's joke, re ferring to miniature golf as liliput ting, finally has reached New York. THE MARION CEREMONIES The evil that men do. as Mark An - thony remarked, lives after them. The good, too often, goes to the grave with them. That, probably, is why we hesitate to say unkind things . , . . . . about the dead. It explains the fatu- mous compliments of most funeral oiations. Somehow this sticks in one's minn" as the dedication, at Marion. Oa.. of a memorial to the late President Hard ing approaches. President Hoover is to speak. There is to be pomp and an elabor ate ceremony. The accolade for which the dead Ohioan has been wait ing since 1923 is to be bestowed at last. All of which makes it advisable to do a little plain speakir.g. The cere monies at Marion ne-d to be defined. The evil that wa done at Wash ington during the administration of President Harding lived after him; lives on to this day, some of it, giv ing an unwholesome coior to nation al politics. There was a good deal of it, and it isn't pleasant to recall it Many scoundrels sat in high places. during a few years, and the nation has not yet entirely recovered. But the ceremonies ij t Marion are not concerned with ihat. No man has forgotten. No one should try to do any whitewashing. When President Hoo ver pays tribute to the memory of his predecessor, he will not be trying to tell us that all of this graft and corruption was less serious than v.e had thought. Instead, the nation will be paying tribute to the Presidency itself. It will, in addition, he devoting itself to exhuming the good that was bur ied with Warren G. Ha i cing. For, after all. in his private life. the man was lovabh- Whatever his mistakes as President, he had the affection of his fellow citizens. He was close to the common man; he was, in fact, one of us. with the vir tures and the frailties of the aver age. He never claimed to be more than average. He gloiified medi ocritv. He was genial and he was kindhearted and he meant to do the best he knew how to do. These attributes, however, are not sufficient to serve as an apology for the Harding admin ist ration. Fall Forbes. Daugherty. and Sinclair are names that cannot be forgotten. : o : "CALL THE DOCTOR" Once more a leader of the medi cal profession speaks out in support of the family physician, the general practitioner, and asks a larger place tor the personal contact with the patient which such a member of the profession is especially prepared to afford. In his presidential address at the Philadelphia meeting of the Am erican Medical Association, Dr. E. Starr Judd of Rochester, Minn., plac ed the need of continuing medical practice "on a personal basis" along with the equal necessity of more pub lic information as to reputable medi cine in general. He asserted that "the idea of specializing in many small fields has been greatly abused," partly because of a public demand for the work of the specialist. But while there was admitted a necessity for the specialist in medi cine, there was urged an extension of the plan (already adopted by some medical societies! whereby there is demanded particular training for the work in each instance, followed by an examination and the granting of a certificate. "Just because one says he is a specialist." Dr. Judd noted, "dees not mean that he has special knowledge in his field." But with the suggested protection of the public in this respect, there would remain the requirement of the family physi cian, who should be "the foundation of medical service." It is this prac titioner who can best obtain an in timate, knowledge of the patient, his entire environment and history, and with the knowledge and experience thus gained become "better quali fied not only to diagnose and treat, but also to direct, the management of the case." So whether in the case of private or group practice, of clin ics or guilds, there is urged the main tenance of the personal contact fac tor. The trend toward specialization in medicine is a. natural development, similar to that which has taken place in practically every other phase of present-day activity. But it is ap parent that it needs to be held with in reasonable limits. The average person in need of medical aid no doubt likes to have the assurance that it is to be obtained at the hands itne hearing thereof be given to all . , persons interested in said matter by of one who is especially prepared to , publishing a copv of this order in give it. But there is desired at theithe Piattsmouth Journal, a semi same time a sympathetic contact and j weekly newspaper printed in m Id understanding of the case and its!county- for three successive weeks . ... , . ,. fprior to said day of hearing, background, which the specialist j Dated tn,s 6th day of Jnne A p may be unable to contribute.
