space and time do not allow me to
go into further details.
How about education? The
Roumanians at first thought that it
would be best to keep the Jew from
learning the Roumanian language,
and from education in general. A
law was passed that foreigners
should not be permitted to enter
even the Elementary schools, unless
there was sufficient room in the class
and special tax was paid by them.
Rather than pay tax, rather than
see their children subjected to hui
initiation by both teachers and pu-
pills, rather than see their children
commit suicide on account of such
humiliations, the Jews have in every
city and town built model private
schools in which the Roumanian,
Hebrew, and German languages are
taught. Generous men have con-
tributed part of their wealth for the
building of high schools and COM
mercial schools for young men of
all faiths. Roumania Immediately
placed these schools under the SUI
pervision of the government. Each
school is obliged to send it's annual
program to the Minister of Instruc
ton, indicating the number of hours
given to each language. To receive
the approval of the government, the
Hebrew must be given the least
number of hours. The teachers
must be specially authorized by the
Minister of instruction. When a
pupil taught in private school,
wishes to enter a governmental
school, he must pass an examina-
ton, and pay tax equal to every
grade that he has made. The Rou-
manians wished to see the Jew es-
tranged to the language of the land,
but the Jew has insisted on learning
it.
The Jew is subjected to the ILL
Will OF the petty Ofhc1alS. lie may
be arrested for any offense, or for
no offense. He is often compelled
to buy tickets for a military ball,
but he never dares to enter the dance
hall.
Now, who are the real patriots of
Roumania? Is it the Boyar, the rich
landlord, who crushes the peasant
into serfdom, while he himself is
ashamed of his own language and
wastes most of his time and money
in foreign countries? Is it the mill
tary officer, who has never trained
his soldiers, and of whom it is re-
lated that he did not even go to war,

The party left the Olympic hotel
at Tacoma for Portland about 9:45
a. m, over a beautiful concrete road
covered with a thin Skugee coat. The
concrete is standing the heavy traffic
but the covering is giving out in sew
eral places, and will soon have to be
renewed.
We passed by the race track where
the auto races were held July 4th,

satisfied with the two warnings and

and turned over, killing both men.
We have taken note of the traffic

electrical operation of this system will
be given in one of the following chap
tiers.
Back Kick Releases
The object Of Blackjack release Is
to take care of any excessive strain
which may be put on the device used
in connecting the motor to the engine.
If the spark lever be too far advanced
there will be premature explosion,
which will tend to rotate the motor in
the opposite direction to that IN
which it is running and thus subject
the connecting device to a very saw
age strain. The power of the motor
is ample to overcome this strain in
the majority of cases, and the con
Meeting devices are designed with
this abnormal condition, in mind, and
as a result the necessity Of any spe'
cial device is not nearly so great as
might at first appear.
A device used by the Northeast Co
consists of a friction clutch which is
held in contact by springs This
clutch will not slip under ordinary
and reasonable loads, but should the
load become unusually excessive II
will slip and thus protect the remain
der of the connecting equipment be
tween the motor and the generator
A friction clutch is used on the
Hartford starter on account of the II
reversible worm-and-worm gear drive
used, as the teeth of the gear would
more than likely be damaged in case
the engine backfired.
A brake band is sometimes used in
coordination with the starting gears
and this band is held tight in such
"a manner that it holds and transmits
s rower in one direction only.

During the first part of the down.
ward movement Of the switch pedal
han electrical circuit is established
which causes the current from the
battery o-~pass through the switch
shunt, The amount of current that
can flow Is limited by the resistance.
Of the circuit, but of the current which
passes through the switch shunt a
small portion is allowed to flow
through the motor armature, while
the greater part flows through the
motor field coils, forming thereof
strong electromagnetic. See diagram
of electrical circuits as given in Fig
ures and 4. The result is powerful
attraction between the field coils and
the armature, causing the latter to
be drawn endwise into the magnetic
center of the motor, orr in other
words, into its working position be-
tween the pole shoes The passing
of the small current through the anna
ture causes the armature to rotate
slowly, as the rotary motion occurs
simultaneously with the shifting of the
armature endwise, the meshing of the
motor pinion with the gear ring on
the engine flywheel is accomplished
quickly and positively.
Operation 10 Rapid
As the switch pedal reaches its limit
of motion the flow Of battery current
through the switch shunt, as well as
that through the shunt cable to the
field coils, is interrupted, and a
straight series motor connection is es-
tablished. allowing the entire current
to pass through the motor field and
armature windings and causing the
engine to turn over until it starts fir
ing. Although 1t takes time to ex-
plain this series of actions, the en-
tire operation takes place SO rapidly
that the impression on the observer
is that the motor pinion slips into
place and begins turning the engine
flywheel Immediately after the start
ing switch pedal Is depressed.
As soon as the engine starts the
starting motor is relieved of its load
and the current passing through it
drops rapidly in volume, this being
q characteristic of series motors. In
consequence the strength of the field
