The porcelain of the spark plug will

hard to detect. unless the porcelain is
removed and carefully cleaned The
slightest indication of fracture is suf-

Gear case grease should not be too
stiff. 1t should be able to flow be-

1.-THE matter OF Diminishing Cynthia
and engaging a new servant was
one upon which Johns mind was
evidently made up.
While Isabel did not forget the ex-
ira expense involved by this measure,
this vexed her less for the moment
than did the suspicion that John
wanted to have a more competent
maid so that Adelaide Simmons and
her friends might be entertained in
his home in a manner which he con-
sidered suitable and proper. Yet, since
argument would lead to nothing but
hard feeling, why argue? The wife
was sick Of disputes. Now she meant
to act, not talk.
So she informed Cynthia that as
she did not care to learn to be a more
proficient cook and waitress. her ser
vices would not be required after the
expiration OF the present month Her
own heart sank a little as she heard
herself giving up a certainty for an
uncertainty, but the maid took the
announcement with an Indifferent
