Using LIQUID oxygen.
Advertisement

1t has long been known that liquid
oxygen mixed with substances like cot
ton wool forms a powerful explosive,
but serious difficulties were encoun-
tered in its practical use. A new
method has now been discovered for
handling this oxygen that makes it
practical for commercial use. Bags
are filled with a special form of lamp
black. which are soaked in the liquid
oxygen for a few minutes Just before
they are required for use. II the bag
is now lighted with a match it will
burn quickly and very slowly, but IL
detonated it explodes with the force
of dynamite, and the cost is much
less. Much less carbon monoxide is
given off than by most other explo-
sives, and there is no danger from a
misire as the oxygen will evaporate
in a short time.

COW suffers and tries to relieve her

A cure after the habit is formed is
almost impossible. The most effective
remedy is putting two rings in the

FRUGALITY HAS ITS ROMANCE
II Is TO Be Found In the Practice Of
Saving Some Part Of Ones
Earnings.

There is an injurious idea prevalent
among young Americans that pru-
dence, economy, caution and frugality
are among The mean qualities, and This
accounts largely for the meretricious
pride OF spending time and money,
just as It partly explains the popular
ity Of 50 many amiable wastrels. A
good fellow" may be not a self con-
demned fool, but he cannot discredit
the truism that a fool and his money
are soon parted, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
Many Of what we have come to call
wants" are desires of the imagina-
tioA, or of vanity OF of self indulgence.
We have drifted into a confusion Of
the meaning and value of happiness as
contrasted with pleasure, and are
prone to accept ostentation in lieu Of
the fact and substance of thrift. The
ways of thrift are different from the
ways of parsimony.
There is an admirable quality Of dig
nifty and simplicity about the frugal
but adequate way of living. that en-
phasizes the vulgarity of extravaganza
and the childish folly of pretended
opulence There is a SAVIOR of gentility
about the practice Of saving part Of
ones earnings that leads to its own
quiet romance, and life itself takes on
a calmer, cleaner, sweeter value if we
conserve and cherish at least a por-
ton of its daily offerings.
Sensibly regarded, there is nothing
sordid about the habit of frugality;
but there is a squalor and a slovenli-
ness about the wastage of time and
the squandering Of money that is as
unromantic as any phase OF the
thoughtlessly selfish living. And there
is, too, a gently humanizing influence
about the habit of saving that makes

SHOULD
BUY MILES, NOT
TIRES-PARKER
Goodyear Authority States That
Motorists Should Figure on
Lasting Qualities

I'VE are carrying a campaign TO
motorists To Influence them to buy
tire miles instead of merely buying
tires. says Harry Parker. manager
of the service department OF the Good
year Tire a Rubber Company.
70 aid motorists in buying more
miles We have prepared a very con-
venient Cost per Mile and Initiation.
Chart. with the aid of which any ear
owner can in moment ca.culste ac-
curately Just how much his tires are
costing him TO turn a mile.
Many motorists excuse their habit

| If the tires don't give good mileage
"A case in point was a prominent
motorist who bought tires which were
he was securing quite liberal adjust
ments. This car owner figured that
he was operating on the lowest tire
cost basis. The new Goodyear chart
showed him that he could have Sc
cured the same mileage from one
Goodyear tire that he was getting
from two of the kind he was using,
and at lower cost per mile. And this
without all the trouble and annoyance
of securing adjustments.
There is probably no form of auto
mobile extravaganza greater than that
practised in buying tires. and a great
deal of this extravaganza lies In the
purchase of cheap tires, some OF them
bearing name you never heard be-
fore, and some no name at all. But
car owners who study the tire ques-
ton for themselves. are rapidly COM
ing to know that the buying OF these
cheap tires is waste of money--that
in the end the well made tire whose
initial cost is little more, will show
the lowest cost per mile.
This is the story the GOODYEAR
chart tells. And in addition II con-
tains interesting information about
proper inflaticn-the most important
requisite in tire service. II tells how
to ascertain the proper initiation for
your tires.
An examination Of initiation pres
sures recommended by six makes of
standard tires for inch fabric tire
shows an average of ~ pounds. Now
it is obviously unfair to ask the man
with $500 pound two passenger car
to carry 72 pounds in his tire, and
ask the owner of $500 pound seven
passenger car to carry the same pres
sure in his tires.
The chart tells just how to find
the proper initiation pressure for each
individual car. Motorists may secure
a copy of. the chart from the Good
year service station dealer"

I may be determined by multiplying the
power by the time, provided the power
remains constant throughout the en-.
tire time. This method of determining
the value of the energy cannot be
used, however, when the power in the
circuit is fluctuating in value, as in
the case of a motor which is driving a
| variable load, such as would be found
in the ordinary machine shop or in
an electric car.
The torque of an engine, electric
motor, etc, Is the tendency of the
shaft of the engine, electric motor,
ETC., to turn. For example, II lever
be clamped to the shaft OF motor
and spring balance be attached to
the outer end of the lever, as indi-
Gated in Figure 5, the torque may be
measured by noting the pull in pounds
on the spring balance and then null
/ tiplying this reading by the distance
from the center of the shaft of the
motor to the point where the spring
balance is attached.
Suppose the conditions are such that
the net reading of the spring balance
is ten pounds and that the length l.
in Figure is 1-2 foot Then the toruue
is equal to 10X1-2=5 pound feet. The
unit in which torque is measured is
called the pound foot.
The torque of a revolving shaft may
be measured by means of a device
called the prony brake. Figure Illus
trating one of the simplest forms,
though il usually is made to fit a pull
ley or flywheel instead of the shaft
itself.
Ii is interesting to note that the
torque is independent of the value of
the length L. for If this length be in
creased or decreased there will be a
corresponding decrease or increase in
the value of the net scale reading, all
other conditions remaining constant
For example. if you were holding on
to the end of the arm l. you would
have to exert greater force with
short arm than with a long arm in
order to prevent the arm turning
around, but the product of the force
and the length of the arm would re-
main constant so long as the turning
effort of the shaft remained con.
slant
Suppose the prony brake Is replaced
by a rope. as shown in Figure S. and
that there is a spring balance attached
TO each end of the rope. The torque in
this case is equal to the product Of the
radius of the pulley in feet and the

! The statement that the generator
has an efficiency of so per cent means
that 60-100, or 3-5, of the power re-
quired to drive the generator is in turn
delivered by the generator to the cir
cult in which it is connected. The
power delivered by the generator, or
240 watts, represents 3-5 of the power
required to operate the generator. One
fifth of the power required to operate
the generator will be equal to 240-:
3, or so watts, and five-fifths, of the
entire power required to operate the
generator, will be equal to 5X80. or
400 watts. This power in watts divided
by 746 gives the horse power required
to operate the generator, or
Horse power=400-=7 46=.53 horse
power j.. + ....:< r..
Since power is the rate OF doing
work, or the rate of the expenditure Of
energy-that is, it is equal to work
done or the energy expended divided
by the time-we can say that the en-
ergy is equal to the power multiplied
by the time. There are large num-
Der of different units for work or en-
ergy. and some of the more common
one are as follows: III. I'LL. r

For example, If generator requires
10 horse power to operate it, what en-

or any part of the circuit at any in
slant is equal to the product of the
current in the circuit and the electri-
cal pressure acting on the entire cir
cult or the part of the circuit in which
it is desired to determine the power.
For example, the current taken by a
motor may be determined by connect
ing an ammeter in series with the mo-
tor, as shown in Fig. i, and the electri.
cal pressure between the terminals of
the motor may be determined by
means Of voltmeter connected di-
rectly to the terminals. The product
of the current, as indicated by the am.
meter, and the pressure, as indicated
by the yoltmeter, will give the power
taken by the motor.
The power in a circuit carrying
either direct or alternating current
may be measured directly by means of
an instrument called the wattmeter.
The construction of this instrument is
such that it combines the ammeter
and voltmeter in one instrument and
the indication of the power is direct,
without having to multiply current
and voltage. The general scheme Of
connections of the wattmeter is shown
in Fig. 2, in which the terminals Al

nections. =.= II"
