5000 PARTS USED
IN YOUR MOTOR

The most surprising thing about au-
tomobiles is the simple fact that they
render the splendid service they do.
The average driver relies upon them
so confidently that he loses sight of
the fact that they are in truth Won
derful, complicated, and in some re-
spects, delicate machinery.
In the average car today there are
from $500 to 5000 parts. In the motor
alone are several hundred OF these
From his experience with the simple
tools he uses in his daily work, the
automobile owner realizes the posi-
bility of any one part giving trouble.
II he were told to operate any other
machine built of 5000 parts, he would
wish he were an expert mechanic.
Besides involving scores of me-
chanical principles, many of which
are new to the mechanical world, au'
tomobile construction embodies many
principles of electricity, and of hot
and cold water, and of fabrication
etc. Some Of the parts are shaped
by the mighty blows OF monster drop
FORCES, while others are so minute and
delicate they exact the care and pains
Of a matchmaker.
And when all this is assembled to.
gether 1t is mounted on wheels and
given over to people from every walk
Of life to use with care or speed at
sixty miles an hour.

EFFICIENCY TIPS

Always cross railroad tracks in Sec
ond speed. You will, of course, run
over them slowly to avoid damage to
the tires, but the motor is easily
stalled when throttled down on high
speed. Cross them in second speed
and you will be more safe.
Opening the relief valves to see if
a cylinder is missing is not always a
reliable guide unless you speed up
the engine. Feed plenty of gas an6
you will frequently get a burst Of
flame through the valve from what
you thought was a dead cylinder.
Sometimes driver says his mag
neto always misses when it rains. A
magnetic may be short-circuited by
rain getting into it, but do not con-
denim the magnetic before looking
elsewhere Distributor and spark plug
terminals are not covered with insu-
lation, and so may leak current Short
circuits may develop in secondary
wires. Spark plug cores may be
cracked. If no faults can be discov-
cred outside of the magnetic, put n
leather cover over it and end your
troubles.

HARVESTING SOY
BEANS FOR GRAIN
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture Issues Bulletin on New
Agricultural Industry

Washington, d. c., Sept. 6.-For
the information of farmers who are
beginning to grow soy beans for
grain rather than for hay, and who
are unfamiliar with the handling of
the plants under the former con-
ditions, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture will shortly
publish Farmers Bulletin, Harvest
ing Soy Beans for Seed" The de-
mand for these seeds for use in the
production of oil, feed cake, and
other bean products is rapidly in
creasing and the farmers of the
United States are preparing to meet
this demand.
The character growth, the uni
form maturing habits. and the heavy
seed yields of the soy beans. says
the bulletin. contribute to the ease
of harvesting and recommend the
plants for seed production. The
many disadvantages which attend
the harvesting of cowpeas for seed
are not common to the soy bean.
When grown for grain alone the
shattering of the pods of the soy
bean is serious fault and mex
perienced growers are likely to sus-
tain a heavy loss of seed through
lack of knowledge and improper
handling of the soy bean plant. The

GUST HOUSEFLY;
COLOR THE LIGHT
Insects Revel in White, but by
Striking Them With Blue
They Flee in Dismay

The eyes of the housefiy perceive
satisfactorily only white light, the
simple cclors of the spectrum having
practically no effect, especially violet,
red. blue and green. The last two.
while slightly perceived, exert a re-
pellent effect on the housefy.
This, C. Galaine and C. Houlbert
have proved; they publish the result
of their experiments in the Journal
de Medicine de Paris, which is quoted
by the New York Medical Journal.
More, the housefiy's eyes most clearly
perceive yellow and orange of all the
spectral colors. Into a room with a
single window fitted with light blue
panes many flies were attracted
through the open window by means
of odoriferous substances. One pane
had been hinged to admit white light
at will. Upon closing the window the
flies were observed to become at first
somewhat restless and soon after to
settle down as in darkness.

evening, nothing being taken for
dinner.
Under Fire and Gas
Many other labor battalions were
employed at the front on trench
work, blindages, etc. The work was
carried under fire shells and gas
clouds carried some three kilometers
behind the working parties. Men car
ried gas masks slung on the back
ready for use.
At Douai they were dismantling
factories and were shipping away
to Germany everything. including
timbers, planks, even sound bricks
and roof tiles, to say nothing of ma
chinery and metals.
Men We're Beaten
Russians were employed in collect
ing cartridges and shell cases from
field gun ammunition. This was not
done during the action. The man who
had less than 100 such cases at noon
was beaten, the guard using for that
purpose a case with the shells 1T
contained. There was no dinner for
such men.
Men who through weakness ac-
complished less work than others
were not given bread, nor were the
sick prisoners furnished bread up to
the month of May, when the issue of
it commenced again.
In the Labor Battalion (2,OOO
men strong) the third and fourth
companies were formed into sep
arate battalion and were sent to work
elsewhere. They had no commission
ed officers with them and were much
neglected. Their only clothes were
the ones they had on their backs.
In the six months previous to April,
1917, they had not a change of un-
derwear or clothes, which had be-
come filthy, vermin- infested rags. In
their camp they had no water for
washing purposes. While on the work
they were beaten with butts OF
rifles. From 1000 men in the inn
provised battalion there were left
$50, the others being sick in the hos
pital or having died. Their sscaths
were preceded by swelling of face
arms, legs, and, in fact, of the en-
tire body.

admitted. they promptly escaped
through the white light. Green panes
gave the same results. With yellow
panes not quite as many left the room
when the white light was admitted.
"Thus, in rooms or halls lighted
from one side only. as is often the
case in hospitals. private dwellings,
factories, shops, etc. flies can be got
rid of by using blue panes hinged at
intervals. Flies will not enter such
premises; any that have entered while
the windows have been open VIII
either come to rest or quickly escape
through the movable pane when the
windows are closed. In rooms lighted
from more than one side the blue
windows should be opened on only
enc side at time.
Files observing the blue light
within will not enter, or will soon
turn back and out again. Blue win
dows are also advantageous in keep
ing out heat rays in the warm season.
AS they cut down the light somewhat,
a mixture of blue with green, yellow.
and even red panes, arranged in mo-
sale form If desired, is to be preferred.
Such a mixture will give results prac-
tically identical with those from eN-
clusively blue panes.
To increase the efficacy of the out
flies. as they enter this pencil, are
let panes in a badly-lighted room, a
convex mirror should be so placed
outside as to throw into the room n
divergent pencil of white light; the
aspirated, as ii were, to the outside.

shattering varies with the varieties
OF the bean. 1t is well, however,
with most varieties to give special
attention as maturity approaches to
prevent serious losses from this
cause.
Time of Harvesting
In general, the best time to har-
vest, except where special bean har-
vesters are used, is when about
three-fourths of the leaves have
fallen and most of the pods have
turned color. If cut at an earlier
stage the, plants are difficult to cure
properly, and the yield will be les
sened materially on account of the
immature grain. on the other hand,
If the plants are allowed to become
too ripe the pods will shatter before
being cut, and much seed will be
lost. When special harvesters are
used to gather the seed. the plants
must reach full maturity to obtain
the best results.
Methods of Harvesting
Various methods of harvesting the
crop are in use in different sections
where the soy bean Is grown large
ly for seed production. The crop
may be cut with ordinary moving
machines, self-rake reapers, self
binders, or even with scythes, corn
knives or sickles. The beans also
may be harvested with a special bean
harvester which gathers the grain
from the standing plants.
When the plants are cut before
maturity they are cured in shocks
and allowed to remain in the field
until a convenient time for thrash
ing. If thoroughly dry they may be
housed and threshed later.
ThraShing
Thrashing may be done with an
ordinary grain separator. but If this
machine is used it must be altered
somewhat to prevent the cracking OF
the beans. In some cases special
set of thin concaNes is used for
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-09-06

thrashing beans and in other in
stances some of the concaves are re-
moved. Good judgment on the part
of the thrasherman will enable him
to adjust the ordinary separator so
that the beans may be thrashed with
little splitting. Special pea and bean
separators are on the market ana
their use may be advisable when
large acreages of the beans are TO
be handled. If thoroughly dry, soy
beans can be thrashed with nail.
II only u small acreage Is to be
thrashed-an acre or so-this meth
cd is practicable and economical. In
O few sections corn shredder has
been used to advantage in thrash
ing beans. II properly cured and
dried out, the beans shell out very
readily with such a machine.
The straw obtained from thrash
ing say beans for seed Is valuable
feed for all kinds of stock. In many
sections the straw is baled at the
time of thrashing and sold to liv-
erymen, dairymen and stock feeders.
Storage of Seed
A soy bean seed spoils rather
easily If not properly handled, care
should be exercised In curing and
storing. After the beans are thrash
ed they should be watched carefully
to avoid heating and molding. When
thoroughly dry there Is no such dan
ger. The best plan, perhaps, Is to
spread the seeds out on a floor i'm.
mediately after thrashing, and
shovel them over from time to time
until they are thoroughly dry. After
this they may be safely put into
sacks and bins, The store room
should be dry and with free circu-
Iation of air. Soy bean seed loses its
viability rather rapidly, and 1T is not
safe to hold seed for planting pur'
poses more than two seasons. The
seeds of the soy bean, unlike those
of the cowpea. are rarely attacked
| by weevils or other grain insects.
