To Give the
Ok Away at
State Capitol

It's kind of rough on a man to have
an OK on his hands, and not be able to
give it away, eat it, sell it, kill it, or
dispose Of it in any manner. How
ever, that is Just the problem that
State Curator II. C. Fish is facing at
the present time.
For several years a Red River cart
and OK have been on exhibition in the
state museum and have attracted no
little attention. Last week Mr.. Fish
received a letter from Charles And
rews Of Walhalla, who loaned the out
fit to the state, telling him to ship
the cart at once, but that he could
keep he OK. The a which was made
in 1913 will be exhibited at the state
fair 81 Crand Forks this week, and it
is rot likely that it will be returned
to the state museum.
Just what to do with that OK is a
question Mr.. Fish is at a loss to
solve. The OK is about as useful to
him as the cart would be to Barney
Oldfield. His friends around the Capt.
toll have suggested a barbecue in the
back yard, but Mr.. Fish is Of the
opinion that excelsior and okum and
a. few other like ingredients with
which the bull is stuffed, would be
anything but a electable repast.

IGNITION
: ON ALL BEST CARS
Foreign Manufacturers Shifting
Over From Magnetic to Gen.
orators.

!" Two foreign manufacturers Of high
priced cars have turned to generator
in place of magnetic ignition, which
adds interest to the controversy Ions
waging bet ween the two sides on the
question. The generator forces at
tach the greatest significance and
importance over these acessions to
their ranks, due to the fact that they
come from where the magnetic senti-
ment has been as deep rock in its
setting. One of the factories Is in
England; tho other in France. This
news, on top of the fact that So per
cent of the cars in the last automo-
bile shows were equipped with gen
orator ignition, may be considered
as scoring heavily on that side Of the
argument.
When motor cars YER first built
the gas was fired by a spark obtained
from what was known as hot tube
ignition. This had it's undesirable
features. so was replaced with an
electric ignition Of the make and
break type. In this the current was
obtained from the primary dry cells,
being led to two insulated movable
points inside the cylinder. The points
being mechanically pressed together
and then swapping suddenly apart at
the firing point, produced a flash of
flame. The dry cells we're short liv.
ed and costly, resulting in the intro,
duction Of storage batteries for pro-
viding cheaper current, and SPAR:
plugs to reduce current consumption.
But the charging and care Of the stor-
age battery becomes a burden, so the
magnetic, making its current as need.
ed from being run off the motor of
the car. came into favor. For a time
relief was had, but not full satisfac-
ton. Trouble was found running the
motor slowly, for speed is necessary
to get an electric spark. Difficulties
other than in irregularity Of tho
spark, or its failing altogether at
times, arose from weak magnets, or.
that we're defective in design, while
running fast might cause an over.
strength Of current, meaning spark
plug troubles.
Gradually electrical usage became
more general on motor cars. Hum
mating methods then in vogue were
being discarded, electric starters
were installed. These changes neces-
sarily revived the storage battery.
equipped with a generator operated
by the motor. It's de%pendability as
sured, manufacturers Of cars began
discarding the magnetic system as a
useless appendage. The storage bat
terry was necessary to furnish current
for the lights and starter and they
could see no reason for continuing a
duplication Of the functions.
The advantages claimed for the bat
terry ignition system are said to make
The best showing when the motor is
pulling hardest. It is pointed out that
the indispensable "hot spark" is ever
to be found present when the motor
Is cranked, no matter how slowly
the starter may work; or when trav-
