Is there any advantage to be gained

have been considerably annoyed with
foul plugs. An experienced driver told
me to buy some long shank plugs Tor
my car. They seem to be quite ex-
pensive and 1 would like to obtain a
little information before purchasing.
The plugs I am using go in the head
Of the cylinder and have a short
shank. Do you suppose a change in
the brand OF oil am using would
cause these plugs to foul?-Albert Yo-
mart.
Would suggest that you use the
long shank plugs. If the short plug
does not reach into the combustion
chamber a pocket is formed for the
foul gases to accumulate, and poor
ignition results. If the plug protrudes
slightly into the combustion chamber
it VIII have a tendency to free itself
of the waste products of combustion.
In addition TO this the application Of
the spark to the charge of gas takes
place more readily
There is no question that a poor
grade OF lubricant will cause plug
trouble. If the trouble began when
you changed your brand OF oil you
can readily conclude that the oil is at
fault. At any rate the5 long shank
plug is more practical and should give
much better results.

STATE VETERINARIANS
MET AT A. & m. COLLEGE
Topics Of Vital Importance to the Pro-
fessIon Discussed During the
Meeting.

Problems vitality affecting the inter-
ests OF Texas Veterinarians we're dis
cussed at the semi-annual meeting of
the Texas State Veterinarians Asso-
citation which was in session at the
A. and NJ. College Tuesday and We'd
nesday, November 1919. While the at
tendance was not large, there being
only thirty-two veterinarians present
the interest was good and the good
program of addresses on important
questions. purely technical and other
wise, resulted in wide discussion Of
every topic.
The meetings of the association
were conducted in the lecture rooms
of the department of veterinary
science at the College and the clinics
which proved popular and instructive
features, were held at the college vet
Urinary hospital. II was the sense Of
those in attendance that in future the
regular meetings of the Association
should be held at the College in or
der that more time might be devoted
to clinics at this session. Last spring
the regular session was held in Fort
Worth, but strong pressure will be
brought to bear ON the executive CON-
lmittee to call the next meeting of the
general session for the A. and M. Col
llege.
An address by the president Of the
Association, DR.. r. p. Marstellar, asso-
ciate professor of veterinary science
lat the A. and M. College, featured the
|opening session, DIR. Marstellar advo-
Gated fight against contagious and
infectious diseases in livestock; strict
er meat and milk inspection; elimina-
ton of quack veterinarians; and educa-
ton of the people to the end that they
may care for their stock more intelli-
gently. More losses in livestock are
caused annually by malpractice than
by any one disease, said the president.
DR.. Marstellar said that the veterin-
airy laws of Texas were far better than
in many other States, but told OF
few changes that might be made for
the general betterment of the livestock
industry.
Prevention of disease was another
appeal which was. made by the pres;-
dent. He told of the work that has
been done by the College in the fight
against hog cholera and the Texas
fever and said that the losses from
these two diseases together with
deaths caused by Anthrax totaled
loss of approximately 100000. With
the proper cooperation with quaran-
tine officials. enforcement of regula-
tons, and the use of preventives this
loss can be greatly curtailed. he said.
The address of welcome was delip

cred by President Puryear, OF the Gel
lege. He told of the rapid growth OF
the institution anad said that recogniz-
ing the Importance of veterinary sur
gerry the College had hoped to offer
work leading to degree of Doctor of
Veterinary Medicine. Failure of the
State to appropriate funds for vet
Urinary building, however, defeated
this hope.
The response was made by DR.. R. H.
Hodges of Waco.
| The remainder of Tuesday mornings
program was purely technical. DR..
Gregory of Fort Worth, read paper
on my Experience with Sings" and
this was followed by lengthy dis
lcussion on the value of the sling. "An-
thrax" constituted the subject OF an
address by DR.. H. Schmidt, of the
College staff, an alumus of the A. and
M. College, and who recently returned
from Germany where he studied three
years in the leading veterinary
schools.
In the afternoon the medicos inspect
ed the various departments of the
College, and later attended the foot
ball game between the Haskell In
ldians and the Texas Aggies, as the
guests of the college staff.
A brief night session was held when
DR.. J. j. Mareck, of BRENNAN. read a
discussion on Bone SPAWN" DR.. ].

speaker, discussing "Neurctomies and
their Indications"

The entire afternoon was devoted
to clinics at the veterinary hospital.
Lameness, hernia-roaring (wind Drok-

valent in livestock were treated by eX-
perts for the instruction of the visi-
tors.
The Association adjourned Wednes-
day evening early and the Veterinar-
ians left for their homes. They pro-
nounced the sessions very successful
and seemed anxious to return TO the
