MOTOR HINTS

The short circuiting of a spark plug
that causes misfires is seldom at the
spark gap, says Motor. Oily surfaces
of the porcelain collect and retain me-
tallic wear products which invite the
current to avoid the gap and prevent
the spark Jump that is needed to get
makes no difference The surfaces must
be cleaned to- restore proper action.
Tire Repairs.
Plastic rubber for filling cuts and
digOuts in tire castings is a good thing
when properly used Clean the cuts
well with gasoline and after kneading
the plastic gum well into the cavity.
turn the wheel so that the weight OF
the car will rest on the repaired part,
and allow to remain there over night
In the morning the repaired part will
be about as durable as any other part
of the tire.
Reason for Hard Starting.
large part of hard starting is
this is suspected, sit down and rest
your tired arm for five minutes and
by this time the excess of gasoline will
have evaporated and more than likely
the engine win start off merrily at the
first turn of the crank.

Ough sticking up will do more to sell
a used car than oceans of talk The
impression produced BY brightly pol
eral cleanliness is a powerful leader
toward a satisfactory disposal of a
car.
Map Your Trips.
Drivers should get into the habit of
mapping their trips. Noting the speed
ometer reading of mileage at each turn
of the road gives a useful guide for
other trips over the same route.
Cross Railway Safely.
It is not safe practice to slow down
the engine and remain on high when
crossing a railway track The engine
may die with the car wheels across the
first rail. The better way is to throw
the gears into low and let the engine
run at a good reliable speed.
For Highway Boomers.
a combination of color stripes around
telephone or fence posts makes good
and inexpensive direction markers for
travel routes. Two poles on each side
of a road crossing should be naked,
of a road crossing should be marked,
a turn in the road should have the let
ter "R" or L" just above them for
turns to right or left respectively.
Ignition Danger.
The ignition coils on the market are
usually made for the voltage that may
be obtained from using five or six dry
cells. To connect a greater number
of cells up in series in order to secure
greater efficiency is very likely to
burn out the condenser and ruin the
cell.

DIR. RomuIo s. Naon, Argentine

pected to visit Yale within a day or
so to arrange for the placing in the
university of honor students from the
University of BuenoS Ayres, whom the
Argentine governmen emit has sent to the
United States to be educated. DR..
Naon has visited Harvard, where ne
saw President Lowell and placed one
student there, and has seen President
McLaurin of the Massa chusetts 1nsti-
tute of Technology and arranged for
the entrance of q student at that in
stitution. The other four students will
be distributed among Yale, Princeton
and Columbia universities.
Heretofore these students have been
placed in European universities, but

who in turn has, been influenced in
his attitude by former minister to
Argentina, Charles Sheriff., Yale 'S9,

BUFFALO BILL IS
REPORTED TO HAVE
GONE WITH CIRCUS

Col. William f. Cody, whom the
Wild West announcer invariably pre-
sents with the phrase, tfbetter known
to US as Buffalo Bin has joined with
the Se1ls-Floto circus.
This is the report that has reached
the show world within the last few
days and has caused no little discus
sion. The Se11s-FToto circus is big
western organization, the chief oppon-
ent in the circus world of the Ringing
interests.
The Ring1ings control the Ringing
Bros. Circus, the Barnum & Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth and the prop
critics of the F'orepaugh Sells Bros,
as well as the outfit of the Buffalo
Bill Wild West Show. The Buffalo
Bill outfit had been entailed with the
Barnum & Bailey interests before the
Ring1ings took over the Big Show,
and when the new management came,
the Buffalo Bill outfit changed hands.
Until the recent news, it had been
generally expected that Major Gordon
w. Lille and Col. Cody, would troupe
together this season under the name
of Buffalo Bills Wild West and Paw
nee Bills Far East.

A SPADE rs A SPADE.

There are two kinds of competition
in our scommercia1isTn today-fair and
unfair; the first is constructive and
progressive, the last is destructive and
an affront to the good judgment of a
buyer.
1t often occurs that a physicians
advice is -thwarted and a patients
progress retarded by unthinking
drug clerk who succeeds in substitute
ing preparation of questionable
potency or ingredients for one of re-
cognized and known value. 1t is. in
deed, serious offence and one which
should be promptly rebuked by every
intelligent person.
A conspicuous instance is the sub
stitution of inferior emulsions of cod
liver oil for the tried and proven med
ical worth of SCOTS Emulsion, which
physicians know contains a standard,
superior grade of cod liver oil, and is
not contaminated with alcohol or
opiate of any sort. These substitutes
are often compounded by unscientific
process, in unsanitary places and ex-
list only by the unfair brand of COM
petition which trades on the popu-
larity and proven value of really
meritorious article.
It is high time for the intelligence
of buyers to assert itself and know
when a spade is a spade.

ST. VALENTINES DAY.

The day of the lace paper valentine
is about gone. To be sure there is
paper valentines made and sold each
year, but these for the most part
meet the wants of children as yet I'm
versed in the exacting demands the
little blind god makes his devotees.
Even the old favorfte, the comic val
entirpe. still has its place as means
of initiating the youngsters with a
asde. for the gaily pictorial as nov
itate lin Cupid's service. But the gal
liant in years of discretion who would
fare forth on Valentines Day must
go laden with a point lace handker-
chief rather than a paper lace bauble
If he would find favor in the eyes of
the fair.
The old. old day is still the same.
the same old day that has been cele-
brated for centuries in honor of the
god Of love. The manner of observing
it has simply become more complica-
ted and extrava CANT in an EFFORT to
keep pace with modern civilization
and the high price of comfortable liv-
ing Besides that the old rule that a
man must remain faithful for a year
to the one valentine no longer
holds, and the modern sender of val
entines may with propT1ety give as
many valentines as he pleases, SO he
must open wide the strings of his
purse wfpen he starts out shopping for
valentines.
FLOWERS FOR GIFTS.
Because Valen Zines Day comes in the
middle of the last short month before
the Spring, when everyone is pining
for a breath of the woods and be-
cause flowers have always been cred
tied with an exceptional IInderstancin e
of the tender passion which for cen
turtles has prompted men to send val
entines, flowers seem to form the
most suitable remembrances of this
festive day. Any flowers are accep-
table as valentine gifts. Baskets or
boxes Of several sorts of flowers com
bined are especially pretty. Most
florists have baskets in which they ar
range towers, banking them up with
moss and ferns and tying the harmo-
NOUS co1ors of ribbons on handles
and sides Of the baskets. The baskets
are suitable after the flowers are gone
