ANCIENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early inhabitants Of Mex
leo Used Process in the Manu-
facture of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry c. Mercer
of Daylestown, Pa, that the ancient
inhabitants of Mexico used glazing
process in the manufacture of their
pottery has revolutionized the views
OF ceramic experts at the University
of Pennsylvania, and may lead, says
American Art News, to the discovery
of beds of clay suitable for use today.
Mr.. Mercer, who is an expert on TIL
ing and former curator of the Uni
versity museum, during recent study
of Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the vari-
ance in workmanship in certain col
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds of clay, and was surprised to
find that a distinct glaze was still ap.
parent
The ancient Egyptians, says Mr.
Mercer, did not glaze their works, the
Chinese adopting this precaution at a
later date to make their vessels i'm
pervious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time, how
ever, and the use of the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics.

1t is only within recent years that
we have been able to obtain any reli-

surrounded the great founder Of the
Hebrew race while he dwelt in Ur.
Here he married Sarah and here he
was surrounded by his friends and

who was his companion in his later

he must have been conversant with
Babylonian literature and familiar

correspondence was then conducted,
These writings were done with a sty-
lus of hard wood or metal with a

AS early as 1898, when The Haynes

not they would buy them. To my sur

the public still clamored for more.

NEED A REGULATING VALVE
Use of Water With Gasoline Means a
Considerable Saving Of Fuel to
the Auto Owner.

With the exhaust gas heater some
form of regulating valve should be
used and a few cross partitions in the
inlet pipe at the point where the heat
is applied help heat the center of the
column of the entering mixture. Case
line will stand about eighty-five pounds
compression without pre-ignition.
Kerosene, however, will not stand over
seventy pounds unless small quantity
of water is taken into the cylinder
with each charge. The customary man
ner of doing this is to employ either
a separate small carburetor for the
water or a small valve attached to the
regular carburetor. In a few engines
the water is injected directly into the
cylinder.
The proportion of water employed
is about one and one-half pints of wa
ter to each gallon of kerosene. If the
water is not used when the motor has
the usual compression employed fol
gasoline the motor will pre-ignite and
is very apt to burn out the connecting
rod bearings. 1t is not generally known
that water may be used to advantage
with gasoline in about the same pro
portion with considerable saving Of
fuel.

Preserve Car Body.

For the particular man, one of the
most trying things is to have the body
work OF his car get shabby. The fol
lowing mixture makes an excellent
''restorer" for the body work: One
pint of turpentine, one pint of wood al
cohol. one quart of distilled or rair
water, one quart of kerosene oil. Mil
the alcohol and turpentine together
then mix the water and kerosene oil
together. In order to defy the ole
adage about oil and water not mix
ing, it is necessary to place the kero
sene and water in a gallon jar and
shake briskly until they mix, then add
the alcohol and turpentine, which
have been previously mixed. and
shake the whole until thoroughly mix
ed. The mixture is apt to separats
after standing. but can always bt

ing. The mixture should be applied

If an automobile is leased for 8
pleasure ride, and the chauffeur mere
ly obeys the instruction of the lessee as
to the route to be taken. the owner OF
the car is responsible for any damage
which might be caused by the chauf
feur's negligence. This is the decis.
