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.
Little affected by either heat or cold free
from impurities which gum valv js and carbon

motors any oil can do.

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.

"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. The 1921.
family physician became an Ameri-i A. H DUXBURY,
can institution. His particular kind
of service was indispensable. What-1
ever its name or form, that service j
should be continued. j
