How can tho bonnet Of a car be
raised when it has external exhaust
manifoIds?
There are two ways Of doing this.
Either the side panel of the hood can
be cut away So that it will slip down
over the pipes. or else tile hood can be
made in three separate parts. In this
case the side panel is hinged to the
frame and opens ~Outwardly.
Would a 4 by 4lls motor be as flexible
and as economical as a sc by 6 inch?
II not, why?
It may or may not. The motor di-
mansions do not necessarily decide the
ability of a machine to be low In fuel
consumption. The feXibility and econ
omy of one motor may be better than
another against all theory as regards
bore and stroke. 1t is safe to assume.
however, that the average long stroke
motor is considerably more flexible
than a short stroke motor Of the same

waking up" in purely military quar-

Some time ago he sent for an officer.
who was in the habit OF wearing
monocle-a habit that Kitchener de-
tests. as he believes ',~t it savors OF
affectation.
After talking on various subjects for
few minutes Kitchener suddenly asked:

wear that glass in your right eye?"

officer Couldn't see without it, you

A Wicked Lesson for Children.


It's u fair conclusion that pretty
nearly every one OF the thirty thou
sand children who have saved their
pennies and nickels to max edeposits
in the Pittsburgh Savings Bank Will
draw his or her own corollary that
thrift is folly, and that it's just
as well to spend your caau yourself
as to have financial magnates bor-
row and waste il. Some adults are
not proof against this wicked object
lesson.
School principals and teachers had
helped TO collect the pennies. moved
by the sentiment of that great econ
omist. Benjamin Franklin, and
never dreaming that the Pittsburgh
Savings Bank was shaky.
We are sorry for the Pittsburgh
youngsters. They have been good.
and they are getting thsirs." Nir-
tue is it's own reward. 1t has to be.
The story that the bank has enough
slow assets to pay everything will
not put these youthful victims to
sleep. Childhood has. however. its
intuitions. They feel 1t in their
bones that part or all of their money
Is gone forever. and the candy it
might have bought Is sort of phan-
tasma Gorical sweetness on their
palates. In the near future no one
viii dare to preach thriftiness in the
Pittsburgh public schools.-Brooklyn

- OCOA has become perma-
nent food supply. Not every
one knows that the cocoa OF
Dowderv. familiar form Is a
residue from the manufacture of
chocolate. Both cocoa and chocolate
are taken from the bean or seed
found in a pod contained in a most
odd-shaped. rourd-like pod. which
grows on the trunk of the cocoa tree.
These huge pods are cut from the
bark and the bean taken ont The
beans are then treated to various
processes OF sweating and diving and
roasting. and a final process OF
grinding. This ground material -
full of a quantity of oil. When this
ground material is allowed to solidify
at proper temperature. 1t forms
the bitter chocolate of commerce.
which We generally use in our icings
and candy.
But in making cocoa. a great deal
of the oil is separated from the
ground portion. and We thus have a
dry substance or powder which We
call cocoa. Thus cocoa Is far less
rich in fat than chocolate. although
K has the familiar chocolate favor

stimulating theO-bromine OF tea and
coffee. but its nutritive value is very

cracked bean. This naturally does
not contain nutriment. only the cocoa
flavor. Both the nihs and the shell

beverage by boiling Tor a short
period and serving like tea or coffee.
There is one general rule to be fol-
lowed in making cocoa TO which mill
Is added-and that is, not 70 boil
the milk. Boiling the milk makes
the beverage far less diSestible and
prevents the milk and cocoa froEi
blending thoroughly. The better way
Is to dissolve the sugar. cocoa and
water together and allow this to
boil to syrup, then add the milk
and bring t. sCald, but do not boil.
All cocoa Is much improved by be-
ing beaten with an egg beater for
several minutes before serving: also
most varieties are improved by the
addition of pinch OF salt and
