A Dangerous Pastime.

The first question an honorable
man asks when he sees a girl flirting
is whether she is respectable girl
or not. You see how it raises doubt
at once This being the case no
modest girl con afford to indulge in
this pastime among strangers. WheE
the down is brushed from the peach
the beauty is so married that it can
never be restored, and so when girl
throws lightly aside that sweet and
modest reserve so becoming a maid
en-, she loses her greatest charm and
becomes rather common and cheap
Flirting may seem to the giddy and
thoughtless girl to be wonderfully
amusing, and she may even get an
idea that she is quite fascinating, but
it is a degrading pastime and should
Be frowned upon by every young lady
who has an ambition to be worthy
and charming woman.

SPRING TESTING DEVICE.
Accurate Msthod Of Determining Ca
pacity Of HelcaI Springs.

Two very simple yet accurate meth
DDS of testing he|icai springs are illus
trated which should be Of great value
to Il garage owner or automobile re-
pair man where the accurate testing
of valve spring. for instance. is Of
vital importance. The testing of a
Apring consists OF measuring the pres
sure it exerts when compressed to a
certain length. For instance, a helical
spring of six inches free length ex-
rrts Il pressure of 100 pounds when it
is compressed to a three inch length.
The method shown in Fig. is only
applicable TO light springs of from IF
teen to thirty pounds capacity. 1t con
sists essentially of a circular dat plate
to which is riveted vertical rod. The
spring to be tested is placed on the
plate and weights are applied. as

METHOD OF TESTING SPRINGS.

shown. Let it be assumed that the
spring is to register twenty two pounds
when compressed to one and five
eighths inch. Ii the spring is correctly
made of the right size wire and wound
to the correct pitch the length will be
one and ive-eighths inch when twenty
two pounds is placed on it.
Where it is necessary to measure
springs of eighty pounds capacity and
upward the foregoing method cannot
be used. as it is impossible to apply
enough weights for the test. For ex-
ample. spring having n free length
of four inches should register 200
pounds when compressed to two inch
es in length. Place it on the platform
OF. an ordinary scales and lay strip
of steel of sufficient size across its top.
as shown. Arrange two carpenters
clamps to hold the spring to the scale
platform, as shown, but in drawing
the clamp jaws together do not com
press the spring in the least. A weight
representing 200 pounds is now placed
on the beam end, and the clamps are
drawn up until the scales register the
200 pounds. The spring is measured,
and If the length Is two inches it is
perfect.

To Find the Missing Cylinder.

The first thing to do in every Instance
Of misstiring is to find out which cylin-
der is at fault. and there are several
ways of doing this. The simplest meth
od is to open the compression taps one
ut time and accelerate the engine,
when spurts of fame will be emitted
from each one except that of the de-
fective cylinder. II there are no taps
take off three of the plug wires and
fnI out by these means which cylin-
der will not drive the motor. If this
is not convenient take screwdriver
and connect the terminal of each plug
in turn to the cylinder. and it will be
noticed that the "shorting" Of one of
the plugs has no effect upon the run
ming Of the engine. There you have
the culprit.
