Another good point about the plug is
that it may be used as printing valve,

such things, as for instance, a Ford.
It is usually necessary to procure a
combination plug and printing cup for
use on such motors, but this plug elm
mates the necessity for such an out
fit.

Tendency Toward Smaller Tires.


Among users of the larger and more
luxurious cars there is a growing ten
dency to the use of smaller tires i'll
front than are mounted on the back
wheels-not, as might at first be sup
posed Of larger tires behind. The dis
tinction is that the use of very large
tires in front is considered not only
source of inconvenience and some risk
in ordinary driving, but a positive
menace in the event of blown-out

REACHES THE LIMIT
FOR AMERICAN NAVY
Secretary Daniels Says g.
000-Ton Superdreadnaught
Is Largest Practicable Type.

The limit in size of the American
superdreadnaught has been reached in
the 32.000-ton California. according to
a letter transmitted to Congress by
Secretary Daniels and referred today to
the House naval affairs committee.
The reasons given include the fact that
ships which cannot pass readily through
the Panama canal should not be con-
sidered, and also because the increas-
ing efficacy of the torpedo, air craft and
submarines makes it imperative that
the number of fighting units be in
creased.
The prime military characteristics to
be determined. the letter says, are the
offensive power of ship, as represent
ed by guns, torpedoes, etc, ana de-
fensive power, expressed in terms of
armor and cruising radius.
The letter says. in part:
"Of present and practicable types OF
vessels the so-called dreadnaught most
nearly approaches the ideal aimed at
in the clause of the last naval appro-
priation act. 1t is necessary to quarry
said, and it is not believed. that the
prevailing war in Europe has demon
strated that a fleet composed or any
other single type of vessels OF prac-
IlCaDle dimensions WOulu vi Sooia "
successful against a properly balanced
feet"
Congress also asked for report on
the naval value of aircraft, and after
a long discussion, setting forth the
need of battle cruisers in the navy. the
Secretary says of aeroplanes, dirigibles
and balloons:
My conclusions are that all these
types of aircraft. each in its particu-
lar field, have demonstrated their I'M
doubted value for observation and
scouting purposes"

"SWAT THE WINTER FLY"
HOUSEHOLDER ADVISED
Plan First Advocated by The Star
for Washington Considered
in Other Cities.
Swat the winter fly,

Swat the winter fly,
This plan for graduating the great
est of disease spreaders, which was
first advocated by The Star, is being
considered in other cities, and the
prospect is for the greatest winter fly
killing campaign in the history of the
country.
The committee on pollution and sew
erage of the Merchants Association of
New York has just issued a bulletin
on the subject, which points out that
the destruction of one fly now will
prevent development of billions of in
sects next season.
Most of last seasons flies, having
completed their life cycle. are dead
But those Matched late, it is pointed
out. have laid their eggs in a favor
able place for incubation in the early
spring, and will survive the winter
unless disposed Of. These eggs will
hatch out during the winter in an even
temperature.
Suggestions in Bulletin.
In urging residents Of New York to
wage determined war on flies this
winter. the Merchants Association
bulletin says.
AT the first approach of cold
weathef the flies seek warmth and
protection in houses and stables.
From cellar to garnet, they hide in
hooks and corners. Keep them out
If any succeed in getting in, kill
them. Swat every one that shows it
self. and be sure TO burn their bodies
Don't trust the cold to kill them.
Don't assume that they are dead when
you find them lying on floors or win
dow stills in unused rooms They are
playing possum,' and will revive when
the temperature rises.
Clean up the house and give spe-
cial attention to every out-of-t he-way
place where flies may Turk. Make sure
that there is nothing left which may
harbor their eggs.
The reduction in the number of
house flies this year has been noticed
by almost all observers. This reduc-
ton has been most striking in house
holds, in restaurants and in buildings
where flies generally congregate. 1t
is believed to be in great measure due
to the active campaign against the
winter fy, and to the vigilance of the
tidy housewife in cleaning up and de-
stroying the 'hold-over' in the spring"

First Baptist Church

Pastor stubbert preached Sunday morning from the text, "And Philip said, If thou believest with nll thy heart, thou mayest.'" The sermon was replete with Baptist history and admonitions to parents to teach 1t to their children instead of the fairy tales which serve no purpose in after lie, II Gods people made the world what 1t is, why not know more about them? John the Baptist filled up the gap in history between sacnficial offerings ard sthe sacrifice of the Christ on the cross. The connecting links between the old dispensalion and the new were made plain, even the baptism of Jesus teking plaee al the ford of the Jordan where the waters were divided, the symbol of the burial ot the old life, the arising 10 the new life and death to sin. The division of church and state was emphasized in the Lords own words, "lkendsf therefore unto Caesar the things that Ike taesafs, and unto God the things which be Gods.

He took the girl and her little brother in his wagon and turned into cart path in the woods. lie stopped his horse and gave the boy few pennies to sit still in the wagon and started with the little girl into the woods telling her he would tell her fortune but that in order to do so he would have to examine the veins in her limbs. He wrapped her in . blanket and tied her hands. The mother Of the children became suspici. ous and tracked the wagon to the lot where her little boy told her that his sister was down in the woods and At this she began 10 scream. Cory came out of the woods after threatening the girl if she made noise and told the mother he did not know where the child WAS.
