Lessons for Automobile Drivers

Watch New Water Connections
New water connections are rarely
tight for any length of time, when
first fitted. Watch them for the first
few hundred miles. This applies es-
pecially to new car. If there is
leakage, tighten just suffciently-and
only suffciently-to stop it. If you
tighten excessively at first, you simp-
ly maui the rubber, and do not ulti-
mately prevent leakage. Therefore,
tighten little by little, as required.
Drive on Throttle.-Slow down
when possible by means of the throt-
tie, and not by means of the brakes.
If you keep your eyes open, and do
not rush wildly along the roads, you
will hardly ever have to touch your
brakes, inasmuch as the opening and
closing of the throttle will regulate
| your speed. Use of the brakes means
wear and tear of mechanism and tires;
use of the throttle means gentle
action.
Binding Light Causes Trouble
A heavy car with binding lights
going at high rate of speed and oc-
cupying the entire road at Monticello
Ia, caused driver at that particular
place to pull clear out of the road to
avoid collision. In doing so he
struck the bridge railing. A young
man who was with him was cut about
the head by glass from the broken
windshield.
Driver Turned to Look.-An auto
mobile struck telephone pole, near
Geneva, ILL.,, when the driver turned
to look back. One woman occupant
of the car was hurled through the
windshield and received broken jaw
and possibly fractured skull. 1t is
stated that two women in the rear
seat asked: "Why don't you say some,
thing?" and the driver turned to an.
swer.

COLD WEATHER.
Modern improvements Make il Eas-
ier to Start the Engine.

"The unpleasantness of cold wealth
er starting has been eliminated by
better motor designs" states f. N.
Mutt, chief Engineer of The Haynes
Automobile Company, Kokomo, Ind.
Automobile engineers have done
great deal of experimenting in order
to make easier the starting of cold
motors. AS result there are cars
haveing carburetors designed in cor
rect relation to the motor, ignition
that is reliable even on the lowest
motor speed, and easily accessible
printing devices.
"Carburetion is naturally big item
for cold weather starting. Gasoline
will flow at low temperatures, but its
vaporization is difficult to draw into
the motor on cold days. Hence, the
long intake manifold is practically use
less as the gasoline vapor, on striking
its cold walls, condenses and flows
back to the carburetor. This obstacle
has been overcome by having the car
buretor directly connected to the cylin-
der block and therefore at the nearest
point to the cylinder chambers.
methods to produce carburetion
have also undergone changes. Water
was used in some instances to flow
around the carburetor. The more
simple design of using hot air from
the motor has superseded this, how
ever, better results.
Ignition is factor to be consid-
cred in easy motor starting. Magne-
tos are admitted to be reliable when
the motor is running at a high speed,
but not when it is being turned over
slowly by the starter. Dry cells are
only reliable when at their full power
and to have this requires frequent re-
lnewals.
"Low speed ignition that has proven
reliable for easy starting has met
with success in the generator storage
battery system. This method gives a
good hot spark at all times and serves
the purpose Of starting the motor at
once even if only lean gasoline mix
ture exists.
"The old time method of riming
the motor by hand may be replaced
by cowl board control that operates
the carburetor in such manner thai
the raw gasoline is drawn directly in
to the motor. Besides the accessible
ity of the device, more easy starting
also is drought about.
"AutomSbiling is becoming a ma
tional sport that is followed at al
times by people in all climates.

WORK AND APPETITE.

"Let good digestion wait on appe-
tite,
An health on both. shakespeare.
That some people require more food
than others is well known fact, and
at various times standards have been
proposed for daily dietaries of per-
sons of different age, sex and occupa-
ton, and in different conditions of
life. A new standard, however, has
now been set up by two French ply
siologists, who conducted their inves-
LEGATIONS at the University of Helsing-
fors, the experiments being conducted
under the conditions of work, and rep
resent in some adequate way the daily
muscular performances of the persons
concerned. The Investigations bring
into clear relief the great differences
in food energy that the various trades
and occupations entail. Eight classes
of workers were investigated, and the
results show that the woodcutter needs
more food than any of the others.
The stonecutter comes next, and the
order of the others is as follows: Cab
inetmaker, painter, metalworker, shoe
maker, bookbinder and tailor, the
stone-cutter requiring more than
twice as many calories in an eight
hour working day as the tailor.
Among women it is found that the
washerwoman required most food, the
housmaid coming next, and the seam
stress last. Figures compiled by the
United States authorities show that
man at very hard work requires
nearly twice as much food as stu
dent, and three times as much as a
very poor person out of work.

GIRL OF THE wINpJAMMER

Few girls have the experience that
mas fallen to the lot of Dorothy An
derson, the fifteen year old daughter
of the captain of the four masted
bark Daylight. With her father and
her mother she has made many voy-
ages to strange lands and has sailed
more than 100000 miles aboard the
big square rigger.
She has known the fascination Of
the Far East, of China and Japan, the
whiting heat of tropical islands and
the beauties Of Melbourne and Sgd
ney. The Daylight has circled the
globe several times, and on one Of
these voyages Dorothy was in ths
ships company. Her home is at Alb
ernethy, in Scotland, but she has no
desire to go back there while new
wonders of the world are in store for
her.
When the Daylight was in the port
of New York last loading case oil for
Shanghai Dorothy told some of her
experiences. The one which she SEEM
ed to enjoy telling most was about
n storm which came up suddenly when
the ship was off the South American
coast bound for New York.
"A terrible thing happened during
this Storm" said she, though really
she seemed to think it was a hugo
joke. 1T was at night and I was
sleeping in the bed with my mother.
oh, how the wind blew and whined
through the rigging, The whole thing

close the ports, as father told me to
do.
well, we had the most dreadful
flood, mother and I. A big wave came
crash up against the side and tons OF
water seemed to come into our cabin
through the port. And then, ker-
the port closed. Oh, dear, what a
wreck in the cabin-all our things
swimming about, shoes and clothes
and everything, and the room ankle

those sudden tropical blows, but It

make GLOBE MAPS
FROM DRAB PAPER
MANUFACTURERS PASTE LAYERS
OF BROWN PAPER TO FORM
SCHOOL BULBS
Improved varnish Method Prevents
DiscoIorina of Ball.

A decided fillip 10 little known
industry has been given by the war.
Hitherto globe maps TO be seen in
every school room, were made in Ger
many, there being very few firms in
Great Britain who manufactured
them. The consequence was that
English retailers had TO sell thou
sands of German globes every year
not only in this country, but in the
dominions over the seas. English
made globes were more expensive, but
were decidedly superior to those made
in Germany, which were of poor
workmanship, and now that the Ger
man trade has been killed deter
mined attempt is to be made to cap
ture the whole of the trade. Few
people could say of what substance
globes are made, and would be aston
ished to hear that brown paper is the
chief material used. A matriX of
wood is covered with strips of brown
paper which have been well smeared
with paste. The paper is laid on the
matrix until it is about sixteenth
of an inch thick and the globe looks
like a football of the association
type. When this paper covering Is
dry, it is cut midway between what
will be the two poles, removed from
the matrix and after an axis has
Eeen fixed in it, the two hemispheres
are glued together. Then this sphere
of brown paper is coated with COM
position plaster, the ingredients OF
which are trade secret and again
left to dry.
After being tested to see that it is
an exact sphere, the meridians are
marked on the globe TO guide the girls
who finish the work. The globe is
then fixed in clamp which holds its
axis and a girl takes the engraved
cores, cut ready for use, and pastes
them on without overlapping. If the
globe is exact the cores should fit SO
exactly that you cannot see where
they are in the complete globe.
When the cores have dried on, the
globe is colored by hand process.
which is also done by girls, and then
polished. In the old days so many
coats of varnish were laid on that
very soon the globe assumed that yell
low hue that we see in all old globes.
The modern method of surface pro-
duction obviates this, and the globe
keeps it's whlteness.
The globe is now ready to be mount
ed on its stand and to have its meri-
dian fitted. Formerly, says the Worlds

Replaces Stolen Cup.

Fifty years ago little girl, 10
years old, took tin cup from the
store of Ignatz Thrilling, Menasha,
Wis, hardware man.
The woman, aged 60, and living q
900 miles from where the theft was
committed, recently made inquiries of
relatives if Thrilling were still living.
On learning that H. H. Thrilling, a
son, was still in the same business
she sent 60 cents to him with letter
of explanation, telling that she had,
in later yeras, deeply felt the wrong
she had done and that the 60 cents
covered the cost of the tin cup, which
was 10 cents, with interest.

USE UP GOLD TAILINGS
Miners Dispose of Ore Left Overs In
South Africa

About 25,000,000 tons of gold ore 10
hoisted out of the mines of the Wit
watersrand in south Africa every
year, and the disposal of the tailings,
as the refuse rock is called after IL
has been crushed 10 sand and the
gold extracted by tie cyanide of pot
assium process constitutes one of the
biggest problems in the operation of
some of the mines.
AS a general thing gold mines are
located in a mountainous country, and
the tailings can be dumped in almost
any quantity down a mountain side,
but in the Witwatersrand the coun-
try is flat and special methods must
be used to prevent the mine and mill
from being buried. In the type of tall
ings conveyor and stacker most conf
monty used, an inclined steel struo-
ture, supported on steel towers, car
ries galloway equipped with buck
cts with which the tailings are car
ried and dumped in pile at some
distance from the mill. The pile even
tually grows to enormous size. and
most of the steel structure is buried
and lost.
These failing piles are striking
feature of the Witwatersrand, but
a great nuisance as well, as in the dry
season the wind carries the sand over
The whole countryside, unless the pile
covered with some such substance al
salt, which absorbs enough moisture
blown away In some cases the prob
lem is solved by running the tailings
back into worked out portions of the
mine.-Popular Mechanics.

Bones OF Animals are Discovered In
Asphalt Beds near City Of Los

In the asphalt beds of Rancho La

geles, Cal, there have been discover
ed the bones of ground sloths which
aived 100000 years ago and were as
big as the modern street car, accord
ing to a report Homer Dill, taxider-
mist OF the University Of Iowa, has
prepared on the investigation he made
at Rancho La Brea this summer.
These mighty prehistoric animals, II
alive today could go poking their noses
into the second story windows Of our
houses with ease, Mr.. Dill declares.
In addition to the ground sloth, the
fossils of other extinct animals are
found. Among them are specimens of
the great sabre-tooth tiger. The ex-
cavations have brought to light also
the skeleton of human being. This
type Of man lived so long ago that the
scientists have to estimate the age
of this fossil in thousands Of years.
They are sure that he came early in
the evolution of mankind.
The beds were formed the scion.
lists believe. by animals wandering
into the surface of uncovered asphalt.
They were unable to extricate them
selves from the sticky mass and died
IN its clutches. After the flesh had
decomposed, the bones gradually sank
deeper into the bed, becoming in that
way hermetically sealed. This 40
counts for the fact that the bones are
An rare state of preservation.
The excavation work is in the hands
of Los Angeles officials. They are
carefully guarding the information of
their finds. On that account the re-
port which Mr.. Dill was able to bring
back to scientists and students at the
university was unusually interesting
