the statement Of 6. o. BOttOrff. OF the
West Texas Motor company. who are
the local distributors for the Haynes

1t IS a good policy 10 give first aid

oftenest in need Of attention After
cleaning. the gaps between their ter

The motor may StIll miss occasionally
on acceleration or on a hard pull after
this adjustment. and ia such a case the
points can be brought a little closer
together without serious consequence
il is necessary that the gaps be ad-
justed TO the same width in all cylin-

The second part OF the ignition sys-

Enoine TYNE DEPENDS on Use.

The two-cycle engine is generally
considered an engine for high speed
and is not used so extensively for gen.
eral farm work as the four-cycle type.
They are more likely to give trouble
in operation than the four-stroke en-
CINE.
For the operation of farm ma
chinery the four-stroke cycle is gen.
orally considered most satisfactory.
The high speed Of the two-cycle type
naturally causes it to wear out more
rapidly, and, of course, they require
earlier attention to bearings and other
parts. &C. A. Ocock, Agricultural
Engineer, Illinois.

Tubular Bulb For Car Lamps.

A distinct improvement in the shape
of bulbs for electric headlights has
just been brought out by a Connecti-
cut firm. The new bulbs are tubular
in form, instead of being round, with
the result that much more effective
light is produced. When round bulb
is inserted in the base Of the head
light, rays from the filament have to
pass through two and three thick
nesses of the glass, on their way to
and from the reflector. The tubular
bulb, being but of slightly larger diam
eter than it's base sends the reflected
rays straight ahead without any fur
Their interference by the bullying bulb
In the center. The tubular bulb has
another advantage, which may on
occasion prove highly important. 1t
can be withdrawn through the rear of
the reflector, making it possible to use
front lenses which are screwed on
tight, instead Of being hinged to the
lamp.-Scientif American.

The night clothes of little lads and
maids, when made for other seasons
than winter, do not differ much from
those worn by their elders. For little
girls, nainsook and batiste and the
light musIins are used for the gowns
and narrow lingerie laces for trim
ming. The trimming is simpler, that
is, not so much lace is used, and the
methods of applying it are less intri-
cate.
With the return of fancy needlework
to fashion in the belongings of grown
people, It is sure to appear on chill
dren's clothes, where it seems more
appropriate than any other sort Of
trimming. The small and dainty pat
terms in Iaces are chosen when laces
are used.
The little empire gown shown in the
picture has a body of narrow lace
and fine embroidery. 1t is sleeveless,
with a rufT1e Of wider val lace finish
ing the arm eyes. This is pattern for
summer wear and few sleeveless
gowns are made for little girls. For
between seasons, little models are
made with high neck and long sleeves,
finished with fancy needlework and
small tuclzs. These are to be replaced.

Rear Light for Automobiles That
Would Seem to Be of
Great Value.
TELLS or ACTION or DRIVER
Designed to illuminate Number Plate
and at the Same Time Indicate
to Car Behind the Way the
Machine is to
Proceed.

A rear light for automobiles that
will illuminate the number plate and
at the same time indicate whether the
car is about to turn to right or left
or to stop is the ingenious invention
of Joseph G. Roeber vaudeville
actor Of New York.
The device is illustrated in the &C
companying pictures. 1t consists of
a lantern attached to the rear of the
car Immediately over the number
plate. In the lantern is an electric
lamp, which remains stationary which
ever way the lantern be turned. Four
sides of the lantern are fitted with col
ored lenses and it is movable through
a half circle from right to left and
through a quarter circle up and down.
When going straight ahead the Ian
tern shows as plain red light. When
about to turn to the right the lantern
revolves till it shows a square green

as the cold weather comes on, by
gowns of canton flannel made long.
The small boys pajamas hardly need
description. They are made of light
cotton materials. The pants are
fastened at the waist with a tape
which is RUIZ through a hem in the
top. They are as plain as can be and
so is the coat This is usually bound
with braid and provided with a peck
ct at one side. The same pattern is
used for the canton flannel pajamas
used in cold weather.
For the comfort of little ones who
sleep in cold rooms and are liable to
kick their feet from under cover, bed
shoes of canton flannel or OF elder
down are recommended. They are
easily made and easily laundered and
they are most comforting.
There are numbers of patterns for
little nightdresses-the simplest ones
are the best. For the little boy, pa
jamas, like those shown in the pic
tura. cannot be improved upon.

top edge of the lace down about an
inch and a half, to form standing
ruffle. When this flouDce has been set
about the waist, small chiffon roses in
light pink, blue and yellow with pale
green chiffon leaves, are to be set
over it in a row, with one color fol-
lowing another. These roses are i'm
portant and the negligee would lose
character without them.
A width of three or four inches is
cut from the top of length of lace
to form the ruff1e for the neck and
front of the body. The remainder Of
this length will make the ruffies that
are set on to the ends Of the sleeves.
The narrow, standing ruffle makes a
heading and a single chiffon rose in
pink, with its little, pale green leaves,
is set at the top of each rufis against
the net.
The negligee is worn with cap to
match. 1t has a small lace plaque at
the center of the crown. A puff of
crepe is gathered to this and edged
with lace. 1t is drawn UP about the
face on an elastic band. A few very
small chiffon roses are set with bows
of narrow satin ribbon in the fiounce
of lace that falls about the face

to make it plainly visible in the day
timer for right" L cleft" S for

lions are accentuated by pointer.
The lantern is moved by the chauf-
feur. On the side Of the car is an
elbow rest ending in handle. From
this handle piano wires run through a
tube to the lantern, and moving the
handle to right or left sets the Ian
tern accordingly. The back of the
elbow rest is pivoted SO that by draw
ing back his elbow the chauffeur
moves it and it's motion pulls another
piano wire, also running through a
tube, which turns the lantern to the
stop" position.
The mechanism is of the simplest,
and as the tubes in which the wires
are incased are only a minute fraction
of an inch larger in interior diameter
than the wires within them, and are
filed with lubricating oil, the wires
cannot buckle, although they make
several turns between the chauffeur
and the lantern.
And no matter what position the
lantern be in it always throws red
light upon the number plate.
The control can also be installed
upon the steering whel or dashboard.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; it's
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cclls while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.
