Escambla County Women Have Attractive
Exhibits in Woman's Buildino

The Escambia County Fair grounds
presented busy and varied scene
yesterday, and everyone, young and
old, the domestic woman, the club
woman, the professional woman, and
an almost equally large number of
interested men, found their way to
the Woman's Building. where one of
the most complete and valuable dis
plays ever exhibited at an Escambia
County Fair IS in readiness for the
public view.
Pensacola is indeed most fortunate
IN having at the head of the wom-
ans department of the Escambia
County Fair woman OF the initiative
and executive ability possessed by
Miss Fannie Caldwell, who has
brought to her work so much Of
earnestness and of administrative tai
ent, placing the Woman's department
of the fair on the highest plane, ami
expressing through its arrangement
rare artistic sense and an apprecia-
ton Of values in woman's work.
One of the most interesting exhih-
its in the woman's building is in the
culinary department, where the
awards were made yesterday, and
which are given in another column
of The Journal. The judges must
have had much difficulty in making
their decisions with SO many good

ter, the great loaves of bread, the
various kinds of cake, pies and bis
cults.
The flowers, too, were judged yes
terday and are elsewhere listed.
One hears much of the modern wo-
man who neglects her home and all
house-wifely arts, but surely the new
fashioned woman must be the peer of
the woman of any age, if one may
judge by the many exhibits which
give evidence of the rare abilities
which have been cultivated, until the
shelves are crowded with samples of
handiwork that any queen might
envy.
Drawn work that might have been
fashioned by some convent-bred SEN
orita; dainty laces, exquisite in pat
tern and texture; embroideries that
must have had put into their fash
ioning many happy thoughts tc have
brought out so much of beauty.
The quilts are as many as the
fashions of quilts may permit. There
is the cotton patchwork quilt, which |
is, by-the-way, again coming into
vogue, and the making of which is
being taught in many of the needle
craft shops, there are knitted quilts,
and crocheted quilts, and all manner
of these useful and artistic coverings,
making great splashes of colorful
background.
While the mothers have entered
many articles in both handiwork and |
machine sewing, the children have not |
neglected their opportunities and have
on display work which is most credit
able.
There are dainty specimens of old |
ladies' work and some of these are
so lovely and so dainty as to suggest I
that the modern woman has much for
which to thank those of another age,
from whom have descended much of
the gift for handiwork for which the
southern woman is still famed

seen to linger about the dolls, these
miniature feminine beauties, which
are proving one of the attractions of

One of the most beautiful exhibits

Miss Harris has given herself
earnestly to her profession, and for

Peel Off Your Freckles.

To remove freckles, blotches or any
complexion difficulty, the best thing TO
do is to remove the skin itself. This
is easily and harmlessly done by the ap-
plication of ordinary mercollzed wax.
The wax peels off the defective outer
skin, little each day, gradually bringing
the second layer of skin to view. The
new skin is beautifully soft, clear. white
and young looking. lust procure an

Lansing, Mich, April GA higher

claimed by the Olds Motor Works, of

The production ratio Of this model to
OldsmObile touring cars has averaged
for the past year over is per cent, and
factory Officials state this could easily
have been raised to - per cent, had
production plans originally been laid
along these lines.
The reasons for the popularity of the

The subject of ignition is broad, as
it embodies both various types Of
magnate ignition and battery igni-
tion. In many instances one has both
systems Incorporated in one ear In
/ this case the motor is started on the
/ battery and as soon as the motor is
well under way, the operator throws
a switch onto the magnetic system. In
/ this way the car-Owner saves the cur
rent from his battery and at the same
time the motor is more readily start
| ed.
1t would be impossible to give a
complete treatise on each type of
magnetic construction used in the pres
ent-day motor ear owing to the types
Of magnetoes. The majority of mag.
netoes work better in connection with Il
battery system for the reason that the
spark is hotter from the battery at
lower number of revolutions per min
ute of the motor thun it is from the
magnetic at the same number of reyo,
lutous of the motor therefore, it is cas-.
ier to start the motor on the battery
than ON the magnetic. There are few
exceptions to the foregoing items but
that is entirely dependent upon the type
| OF magnetic used whether it is a high
| tension or low tension instrument.
Use of Oil
Thee care Of any ignition system is
all important to the proper working
Of its mechanism. 1t is necessary to
keep all working parts clean and free
from excess oil. DO NOT OIL THE
MAGNETIC ONLY WHERE 1T IS
STAMPED ON THE EXTERNAL
PARTS. 1t is best 10 follow the di-
rections in regard to care of each res
pective type as furnished by the dealer,
who handles the car
There are the same number Of
wire connections as cylinders. 1t is
necessary that each thumb-nut or 9TH
er connector is secure, for if not,
weak spark or no spark at all will be
generated through the wire. Corros-
ion is less liable to occur where all
connections are securely fastened. If
these parts become corroded the
force Of the current will be materi-
ally lessened and frequently the wires
will be eaten through and only held
together by the rust formation, thus
deceiying the operator for a period
Of time or until the wire breaks.
Keep Them Clean
In the breaker box, or that part
which transmits the current from the
armature Of the magnetic to the dis
tributing brush, are found two points
These points are made Of platinum
and in the regular magnetic type sys.
TENS, they polaiize, by which is meant

points, builds up one side and tears

tween these points unless you are fa.

Own an Auto? Then Read
This Article Carefully

In removing magnetic and replae.
ing IT, it IS necessary that the device
is timed ut the proper interval with
the piston stroke Of the motor. After
Il magnetic has been removed from a
ear, there should be no attempt to
repair or dissect the instrument un-
less the operator is thoroughly famil-
iar with its construction because more
harm than good can be done
Wire Connections.
All magnetoes are either clock wise
Or anti-clock wise, rrIch depends on
the location OfNthis device ON the mo-
tor. BY this is meant the rotation of
the distributing brush follows the ro-
tution Of the hands of a clock or the
reverse. I'm this connection, it is
quite essential to connect No. wire; ;
that is the wire from the first spark
plug behind the radiator, to the first
connector that the distributing brush
comes in contact with in its revolution
The succeeding connections are
made in rotation on the magnetic but
alternate as the firing sequence de-
mands in connecting to the spark plug
For instance, motor may fire one
three-four-two or onc.two-three-four
but the magnetic always will follow in
direct order, onetwo- -three-four. In
case the motor should fire one-thrce-
four-two, connect No. l magnetic wire
to No. l spark plug; No. . magnetic
wire to No. 3 spark plug; No. mag
neto wire to No 1 spark plug and No
4 magnetic wire to No. plug.
Oftimes the wires are bound tOgeth-
er in tube but through the process of
oil and foreign matter, the insulation
covering on the wires becomes rotten.
1t is then necessary to re-wire the
motor. Unless one is familiar with
the firing sequence only one wire at
a time should be replaced, for if an
error is made in connecting up these
wires, the explosion in the cylinder
will occur at the wrong interval and
may cause a baekfiring into the ear
buretor, which is liable to set fire to
the ear
Changing Spark Plugs
There is often a mistake made in the
changing of spark plugs, and un-
less the operator is absolutely sure
that he knows how to connect the
wires to the spark plugs, it is not ad-
visable to remove but one plug at a
time, for the sames error may occur as
having the motor wired wrong In
this connection, frequently misunder-
has occurred relative to the
tightness Of the spark plugs in the cyl
inders.
Where a spark plug screws down on
a gasket, do not hesitate to draw the
plug tight, whether the motor is warm
or cold, but if the motor uses taper
thread plug, it is necessary to screw the
plug in securely while the motor is cold.
If forced too tight while the motor is
hot the plug is liable to sieze on the
thread, which makes it hard to remove.
A thick solution of graphite and oil APP
piled to the threads of the spark plug
will prevent seizure.
