among the Lincoln relics, started the
famous Oldroyd collection of Lincolnlana.
When the Civil war broke out, Oldroyd
went to fight for his hero. After
the war he resumed his hobby, not
allowing his vocation?a stewardship
In the National Solldera' home at Dayton?to
interfere with It. He fell
In love with a girl from Springfield,
111., which gave him a good reason for
moving to Lincoln's home town. Not
only were their neighbors those of
Lincoln, but the bouse the young couple
rented was the one In which Lincoln
had lived.
Here much of the Lincoln furniture,
sold to the villagers upon the President's
departure for Washington, was
obtained by Oldroyd.
By 1893 Oldroyd's collection had attracted
so much attention that he was
advised to take it to Washington and
offer it to the government. The government,
85 years ago, purchased the
quaint frame building, the Peterson
house. In which Lincoln died, and In
this Oldroyd deposited his treasures.
Oldroyd started on his task of persuading
the government to take over
the Lincoln relics. That task looked
hopeless at times, but he refused to
give it up and accomplished it after
83. years. The $50,000 he will receive
from Uncle Sam is less than half of
what he had been offered by individual
Lincoln admirers.
In Washington opportunities to add
to his collection were abundant.
His Last Written Words.
For Lincoln's last bit of writing Oldrcyd
had to wait 16 years. He paid ?175
for it and was presently offered 55,000.
It belonged to a man named
Stackleford, who bad been usher to

he came by It

The question, "What shall we eat,

Issued by the touring bureau of the
Chicago Motor club. "The motor

canned, powdered and dehydrated '
foods, is hot aware of the lateat de- i
velopments in camping," says this
bulletin..., "The camper has cereal, <

t
The strictly vertical windshield Is

That Is the opinion expressed by
Dr. Edwin H. Silver, president of
the Columbia Optical company, and
member of the motor vision commission
of the American Optometrlc association.
"The laws of refraction and the
I laws of reflection should govern the
construction of a windshield," Doctor
a Silver says. "Good vision, the ability
b to translate what Is seen and the
ability to act quickly are the three
i most vital factors In automobile drlv

L Optics of Windshield.
"The optics of the windshield play
b an Important part in the vision of the
motorist. The surfaces of the glass
? must be parallel to each other and
the thickness the same throughout,
b as otherwise you will get multiple
a Images of an approaching object,
> especially a light.
s "For this reason the windshield
shonld be In a strictly vertical position,
or at the utmost the slant should
" not be greater than 10 degrees. A
i- greater slant than this causes the .

* or variation from parallelism of the
r surfaces of the glass.
"The prismatic effect binds the
light rays, making the gauging" of
distance uncertain. Light travels In a
I straight line, which Is broken by the
r slanting windshield and causes an apf
proachlng object to appear several
. feet distant from Its actual course,
j The speed of the automobile makes

j. Ideal Windshield.
"The Ideal windshield is vertical in
h position, of the finest and most flaw(
less plate glass and located so as to
?. be about 20 Inches from the eyes of '
,1 the driver.
i "The adoption of the narrow post j
1 on-each side of the windshield Is also .
j one of the most forward steps taken
s by the manufacturers In recent years. '
You can obscure the sun with a pencil
! and see a baseball game through a
f knot hole. That explains, I think, why
e the wide post, with Its greatly ini,
creased 'blind spot' Is so much more i
of a menace than the narrower post." 1

certain amount of lubrication to prevent
rust and the collection of dust

This would soon run off, anywa'y A
good lubricant for these parts is linseed
oil with which a small amount of
powdered graphite is mixed. Linueed
oil seems to haVe less of a tendency
to run and spread than cylinder oil,
