HEDGING ABOUT YOUNG FOLKS
Freedom Of the Library Not Good
Thing to Allow the Rising
Generation.

A recent writer. in referring to the
traditionally divergent attitudes of
the English-speaking and the conti-
mental worlds toward literary reti
cence. has said that in England and
America it has been the custom to tie
up literature in order to give young
people the freedom Of the library.
airy to turn literature loose and to tie
up the young. The result. he adds.
is that we have developed precocious
young people and an insipid literature
and they a precocious literature and
insipid young people. Which is wit
ty summing up of tangled situation.
Unhappily, like the man and wife who
respectively preferred cotton and
linen sheets and who. after much acri
monious argument. Compromised" on
cotton, We in America seem to be by
the way of granting certain liberty
to literature without placing CORE
spending restraint upon the browsing
Of the immature. And we are thus
creating a problem with which every
conscientious commentator upon cur
rent literature finds himself constant
ly faced, namely, upon whom-the
writer. the critic. or the parent-rests
the responsibility of safeguarding the
reading of the young? Personally. II
seems to me that there is but one
answer: That the responsibility for
the physical diet of childhood and for
the intellectual diet of adolescence
rests upon the same shoulders; that
there is no more reason for turning a
girl of Is loose in a public library
than for giving boy of seven the

plant Societies.

The science of botany has been
greatly advanced by the development
of what may be called the sociology
of plants-that is. the study Of their
relations to one another as well as
their adjustments to surroundings.
Botanists recognize that plants are
not scattered haphazard over the
globe. but are organized into definite
communities A plain has its plant so
ciety, all the members of which fall
into their proper places. A swamp
forest consists of trees possessing Q
certain social relationship and differ.

dry land. There Is progression from
one social organization of plants to
another A lily pond may give place

hemlock- So societies of plants on
Try land succeed one another az the

That the steel car is of great value
as a protection to passengers in the
event of collision was demonstrated
in a recent clash of two trains in

There was no such telescoping as
would probably have occurred with

merely such as resulted from the pas

HOW NOT TO CRANK A CAR |
w. H. Stewart, Jr., Tells the
Dangers of Carelessness.

According 10 William n. Stewart jr.. who
gave an interesting lecture on THE Spark
Advance and Retard' at the Stewart Au-
ton1obile Academy. No. 231 West 54th
street on Friday evening, many arms have
been broken, wrists spraiped and severe
bruises sustained through careiessness, and
more often through not knowing how TO
r~operIy place the spark lever upon crank
ing Z. motor. While this is injurious 10 the
oUerator the improper use of the spark IS
81 more Injurious to the engine.
The spark lever has been and is a source
OF mystery TO many automobilists. Many
drivers throw the lever back before crank
ing, and place IT forward 10 specified po-
s:tion after the motor is started, because
they have been told TO do They seldom
determine the proper position of the spark
from reasoning. but rather from some one :
ADVICE 10 carry 1t about there"
The fact Is that Ilore than so per cent OF
the power efficiency Of a motor Is lost by
having the spark placed wrong. The fuli
lower of motor at all times can only be
obtained by advancing and retarding the
spark to fit the engine speed. This is due
to the fact that the most perfect mixture
takes time TO fully ignite. Although this
takes but small fraction of second, yet
wien q motor travels at 1900 revolutions
a minute, the time taken by the piston al
compression is infinitesimal
