YULETIDE AGAIN.

The Yuletide season is with us again.
It is with US, but not of us, for much of the
earth knows little of joy today.
Upon many millions of people the sun shines
as brightly as in the days of old, but it's lustre
is dimmed by the shielded blood of suffering hui
mainly.
The benign smile of the Divine One is as ten
der and as loving as when the world was young,
but the twentieth century finds too many of the
human race bent upon pleasure, and profit, and
revenge, and forgetful of the beauties of life as
seen through eyes that are better and holier than
ours.
It is with this knowledge that the people of
Greenwood and vicinity approach the Yuletide
time, when all should be sunshine, and ~gladness,
and joy.
But if we may not sway the rest of the world,
if our voice be not heard beyond the confines of
our own firesides, we yet may look upward with
a feeling of gladness and thankfulness that the
horrors that are e~ngulfing the rest OF the world
have at least passed us by.
We may be thankful that we have even an
hour Of peace and prosperity for our country,
though no one knows when the whitening hand
of the blight of the century may be spread over
our own fair land.
Let US be joyful today, but let us mingle that
Joy with compassion for the stricken ones of 9TH
er lands, to whom the Yuletide season is but a
mockery and an agonizing delusion.

Development of Multiple
Cylinder Engines Adds
to It's Importance.
By ALFRED II. BARTSCH.

The growing use OF engines OF 8 and
II cylinders IS causing az least one
more condition which motor car owners
will be called upon TO consider. Where
heretofore the spark plug family under
the hood was usually made up OF four
members, to-day the family has in
creased to six. and quite frequently we
find the habitation houses eight and
twelve members. While this increase
OF spark plug population, so called
does not necessarily mean an increase
in difficulties 20 overcome, II does mean
that increased attention and consld-
Grafton will be necessary in proportion
70 the increase Of the spark plug fam
lily. ,-,
The spark plug seems negligible ac-
cessory 10 look al. but 1T - highly I'M
nortant when one Is attempting TO gain
utmost efficiency. The plugs that were
in use five years ago were simple IN
construction, and the troubles that
wore due 10 their unreliability were &C
cepted as inherent and as affecting only
the action Of the spark. Since then II
has been realized that the ability OF
the spark plug 10 operate notwith-
standing the trying conditions 10 wnlcn
IL is subjected has very decided ell
feet upon the operation Of the engine
and I'm consequence this part Of the
equipment has been given by some
manufacturers more careful and SCI
entifc study than the average person
supposeS.
II is the opinion OF the lay mind
that a high tension spark plug con-
sists OF a threaded piece of metal ana
an insulated core having metal WIRE
or bar passing through its centre so
arranged that gap exists between
these two metal parts. When the
plug is properly connected with the ig-
milton system an electric current jumps
1cross this gap at certain intervals
forming a spark as II passes. furtAet-
more. n is popularity supposed thai the
plug will. ignite the mixture or gas
charge as long as its sparkling points
are somewhere within the combustion
space. In general these ideas are cor
rect. but the opinion Of the eng neer
snd designer is quite different; TO thcm
the construction of spark plug and ITS
location in the cylinder are of vital
importance. and an exceptional amount
Of study has been given to its construc-
zion and location.
