The parent-teacher's meeting which
was held at the close of school last
Friday was a success in every way
and so many good things came out of
the meeting that it was unanimously
voted to held another such meeting.
Mr.. J. H. Hubbard presided. After a
short program by some of the children
of the lower grades, Miss Ruby Keller
read All excellent paper on co-opera-
ton of parents and teacher. The dis
cussion which followed brought out
many valuable and helpful sugges-
tions which emphasized the fact that
the child is the organizing principle
of the home-he is the unit. The
child is the organizing principle of the
school; and since this is true the first
and most important study for both
teacher and parent is the child. All
agree that the best interest of both
the home and school demand that par
ents and teachers shall work together
in harmony and mutual understand
ing. At the close of the program light
refreshments were served by the girls
of the departmental school.

SCHOOL NOTES

The members of the high school
band met Tuesday and r~eorganized by
electing Ebert Austin, president;
George Snelson, vice-president; Hor-
ace Campbell, secretary-treasurer;
Clarence Thompson, sargent-at-arms,
and Robert Corbin, property overseer.
The band has arranged to have reg
ular practice and will soon be ready
to play for various school occasions.
Rev. Mast, of the Presbyterian
church, addressed the high school in
general assembly Wednesday morning.
His address was greatly enjoyed by
the students. He spoke of the splen-
did opportunities the Brookings
schools afforded and the necessity of
taking advantage of these opportuni-
ties. He impressed the students with
the idea of the importance of having
faith in themselves, of doing something
that is really worth while.

My car does not hit regularly whom
idIins or running fast on a smooth
road. It has a good spark, and the two
center cylinders fire all right, but the
end ones misfire. The spark plugs in
h end cylinders get dirty, while tho
center ones are clean. What 10 the
trouble7
The only apparent cause OF this pc
culiar action Is due to some disarrange.
ment In the interrupter housing. The
interrupter Is broken by one cam for
cylinders Nos. ! and 4 and by another
cam for cylinders Nos. . and 3, and It
Is possible that the points break well
on one side and not on the other.
When the end plugs are shortened the
condenser action causes the two mid
die ones to obtain sufficient current TO
fire the charge. There are a number
Of causes OF uneven breaking Of the
points, and we do not advise you to
try to dismantle the magnetic to find
the cause. Send the magnetic to the
nearest service station and have them
look 1t over.

Can you tell me of some liquid solu-
ton for removing carbon7

Can you tell mo of some liquid solu-
ton for removing carbon?
A number Of liquid solutions for re-
moving carbon are successful, and,
although they cannot be listed here.
any Of the brands which have been on
the market for some time will proba-
bly, be found to do all that Is claimed
for them. They merely act as carbon
solvents and therefore are not as quick
and positive in their action as scrap
ing or burning carbon from the cylin-
ders. The best way to convince your
self OF their efficiency is to scrape
some lump carbon from the motor,
place 1t upon a piece Of cast iron and
put a small portion Of the carbon re-
mover upon the carbon and watch the
action. Two points. however, must be
watched with great care in using these
removers, the first being that they do
not attack the metal OF the cylinder
wall and the second that the lubricat-
Ing material I'm the crank case Is not
destroyed by the leaking Of the carbon
remover past the piston. After many
Of the o are used 1t Is neces-
sary to empty the crank case and re-
fill with new Oil. Therefore the best
time to remove the carbon is at the
time when the oil itself is to be re-
newed.

Tho steering wheel Of my car squeaks
when turned to the right. Can you
suggest a way to eliminate the noiss7

Wnon turned 10 the ri9nt. Nan you
suggest a way to eliminate the noiss2
The application OF oil Is about the
only thing that will stop the squeak
In your steering mechanism. The
throttle and spark controls usually
pass down through the steering post
by means Of tubes, and these proba-
bly, have become corroded. Not know
ing the exact construction, IL Is diff,
cult to locate the point where the
squeak occurs, but If you will apply
oil TO all the moving surfaces you will
undoubtedly locate the place which is
giving the trouble. Sometimes oil ap-
piled directly under the steering wheel
hub will eliminate a squeak ut that
point. If you do not put grease OF oil
into the steering head proper for some
time possibly these working parts are
in need Of this.
Wherever one metal bears and works
upon another n lubricant is necessary.
If you will observe closely the work
ing parts when the wheel Is turned
you will undoubtedly be able to elm
mate the noise by an application OF IA
little oil ut these points.

Has tho anti-Ieak ring any advantage
over tho old typo?
The anti-leak type Of ring is better
than the ordinary diagonally split type
when it ONE to preventing leakage of
mixture and oil past the piston.

Can you explain the difference be.
tween . short stroke motor and q long
stroke motor?
Short stroke motors are those whose
ratio between stroke and bore Is small,
and long stroke motors are those
whose stroke to bore ratio is rather
larger. Any motor with a larger bore
than stroke naturally Is a short stroke
motor. and in the same class are placed
motors of the square type or those
with equal bore and stroke. Long
stroke motors are considered usually to
have a stroke bore ratio Of 1.3 to a
or over.

Negro Golf
Links Now

ATLANTA, Go, March 24.-Atlanta

Not very long ago the phrase negro

mean shooting craps, but it no longer
has that hilarious significance in Al
lanta, for local darktown has appro-
priated to itself the big vacant circus

ward and has there established sun
dry tin-cans sunk in the ground, fence
laths with rags on the end, and in fact

AS for the clubs and balls, they are
not imitation at all, but the real
things, bought or acquired by ex-cad-
dies.
Any warm afternoon you can go by
the circus grounds and see a dozen
young bucks on the first tee" waiting
to drive off.
So far as is known, they haven't con.
yerted the circus grounds into a go!e
course by any process of law, but are
merely using it as their playground
Trough the kindness of the owners and
the tolerance of the city.

WOMEN HAVE TAKEN
IMPORTANT PLACES
IN ENGLISH WORK

LONDON, March 24-Hardly less
remarkable than the swift transforma-
ton of England into powerful mill
tary nation has been the silent up
heaval that has placed the civil work
and the industries of the workshops
of the nation in the hands of women.
It has been estimated from official fig
ures that there were fully 100000
more women in active employment
on March 1, 1915 than on the cor
corresponding day twelve months ear
lier. Moreover, the number is in
Creasing week by week.
Every class of women, including
those previously regarded as leisured
and well-to-do, are adding to the total.
The call is reaching the remotest ham
lets as we'll as the quiet market towns,
and the women and girls are respond
ing. The women are modifying in a
great army ready to serve wherever
they are most needed-even to the
hard labor of tilling the soil.
Such changes in the national, COM
mercial and industrial spheres are
naturally creating considerable read
iustment of social conditions, with
the result that the Young Womens
Christian Association, Women's I'm
ions, suffragist organizations and
scores of women's clubs are confront
ed with many new problems in helping
to care for the thousands of women
suddenly thrown into a new environ
ment.
The initial difficulty to be dealt with
has been that of housing the workers
in the munitions factories. All sorts
Of factories have been requisitioned in
the provincial towns up and down the
country, calling for large drafts Of

been hard to find, and, of course, fol-
lowing all laws of supply and demand,
have been costly, even if they could be
found at all. Railway communications

Thousands upon thousands of
young women and girls were sudden
ly shifted from their familiar sur
roundipgs in the larger cities to the
new life in the country where many of
the huge munitions factories have been
erected. The manufacture of high
explosives is not permitted in the vi
entity of homes. Therefore, canteens
had to be established close to such
works so that the women would not
have to go long distances for their
meals, and relieve them of much IA
tigue and strain.
Perhaps the ideal conditions have
been reached by one famous firm en-.
gagged in the manufacture of cordite.
a colony for the workers was erected
in a long series of wooden huts each
containing some twenty-eight two
bedded rooms. In the center of all

ped kitchen, a recreation room and

Public imaginations is more stirred
at the idea of women's labor in SHE'LL

over the vast army engaged in the
more hum-drum round of business

man who is forced to work in the Of

worse off than her sister in the NUM-

very little attention is paid to her well

What holdest thou in dover

Shall soon, a withered flower,
Drop from the stem of time,
And, dead and curled, blow aimless
Upon some current nameless,
Forgotten, faded, fameless,
Whilst thou art in thy prime.
What holdest thou in treasure?
Shall sorrow reign, or pleasure
CT each in equal measure
Hold for a space full sway?
Shall we have power to change thee,
Or to our wills arrange thee,
Till Time itself estrange thee,
And be thou yesterday?
Have all our days now ended,
To thy upbuilding tended?
Hast thou on us depended
For what thou art to be?
Or from Times far beginning
Hast thou thy way been winning
With changeless need of SHINING,
o pain and ecstacy?
Thou seemest cast, Tomorrow,
And from the past of sorrow
We come at last to borrow
Some solace from thy scope.

The lost ones walked despairing
God saw all woe, and, caring,
Bestowed the boon of hope.
