secutive cold mornings" And Uncle
Harry laughed again.
Jimmy scrambled back to his seat
and Uncle Harry began:
you see, Helen, most automobiles
these days are driven by gasoline
motors. sThere are many different
makes Of gasoline motors and they
are made with as many as sixteen
cylinders, but to give you a clear idea,
I'll tell you about a One-cylinder
motor When you understand the one
cylinde rmotor, you'll understand them
all. because the principle is just the
same"
GO on, Uncle Harry"
Gasoline, as you know, is very
dangerous liquid because it is highly
explosive and almost impossible to
put out once it catches fire. Gasoline
evaporates very quickly. Il mixes
with the air very readily Air and
gasoline so mixed is very explosive
when compressed. When It is so COM
pressed and spark is applied to it. It

perhaps not so powerfully"

must describe the motor before / can
make that clear TO you.
Every motor has a cylinder, usually
more than one This cylinder is a
strong metal box, like a tin can, but
very. very much stronger. It Is very
smooth on the inside, because a round
/ piece OF metal that fits II exactly
moves up and down inside it,"
The children regarded Uncle Harry
more intensely. Jimmy had a very
good idea of how a gasoline motor
/ operates, but the younger people
we're having It explained for the first
time
"This piece Of metal called the pis
/ ton. is connected with a crank that
] turns the flywheel and moves up and
down in the cylinder as the flywheel
turns around The shaft of the fly
wheel is connected, through the gear
box. with the rear wheels OF the auto
mobile, so that as the piston moves
up and down. and the fiywheel re
wolves, the automobiles rear wheels
must turn and consequently the auto
mobile must move ahead"
But what makes the piston move
up and down in the cylinder?" asked
Helen.
"Ahi" said Uncle Harry, that's
where the gasoline comes in.
There's a little device called a
carburetor-"
"A what?" exclaimed joe
"A car-bur-etor" repeated Uncle
Harry. "The carburetor receives the

"Then little door closes in the
wall of the cylinder where the vapor
was sucked in so that it can't be
forced out again. But the heavy fly
wheel keeps revolving and forces the

YES"
when the piston has moved again
to the head OF the cylinder the vapor
is, OF course, under high pressure.
Then just as the piston begins TO
move down the second time. an cleo
trio spark is fired in the midst of the
compressed vapor which explodes with
great power and drives the piston 10
the foot Of the cylinder with great
force.
Then another little door in the
cylinder wall opens and all this ex.
ploded gas is allowed to escape as the
piston moves again to the head OF the
cylinder Then that little door
closes and the first little door opens
again. Once again the cylinder ia
sucked full of gasoline vaDor and all
these operations are done over again
with almost unbelievable quickness.'
How quick?' asked Helen.

NAVY HAS GREAT SCORING MACHINE
Ingram Best Individual Scorer Gridiron Today-Oli- phant Ranks Second -Middes Have Run Up 239 Points in Five Games.

New York Nov. e-One of the strangest features of the present eastern college football season iss the spectacle of the United States Naval and Military Academies turning out the strongest elevens in several sea- sons while much larger institutions are unable to support teams according to official statements, owing to the pres sure Of war work among the students. Under normal conditions the sailors and soldiers have but scanty time for gridiron training as compared with the periods devoted to football work by the average college an university squad. That the two Academies should be on the field as those which represent the Army and Navy this seasos is lit tie short of remarkable.
 That such is the case however, is amply proved by the records for the season up to the close of the month of October. In this period of about five weeks play the Middies have run up a total of 239 points in five games and lead all the other eastern elevens in this respect by comfortable mar gin. The Cadets have not been quite so active in this respect being tied with the University of Pennsylvania for fifth place.
 The Navy also possesses in Ingram the best individual scorer to date among the teams of the same section. Ingram has collected 105 points as his contribution to the success of the Mid dies eleven His nearest competitor, strange to say, is Oliphant of the Army who has scored 66 points. In both these cases the scores were made through touchdowns and goals from touchdowns alone. In all round SCOT ing McCreight of Washington and Jefferson and Meehan of Syracuse are the leaders. McCreight has scored four touchdowns; six goals from touchdowns and 4 field goals. Meehan has collected four touchowns, seven goals from touchdowns and two field goals.

 Howard Berry, fulIback on the Uni Xersity of Pennsylvania football team and regarded as the best all-round athlete in America, a star in every sport, came to me in a dilemma re gently.
 Berry said that with all the sport. he excelled in and followed during the course of the year, and that list in cluded football, baseball track athle- ties, boxing and billiards, he had not found one that developed steadiness of nerve and rapid and accurate ac- ton between eye, mind and hand.

 That's all I wanted. I knew Berry. Some fellows would have quite there, but Berry merely became determined to master the sport He missed four more in a row, and then started to hit them. He broke 8 out of Is and a string of IS out of 50, one of the best scores I ever heard of for a beginner.
 When he finished I asked him how he liked it. He said, "I thought this would upset me. As a matter of fact I am quicker and steadier than I ever felt before. I didn't know anything that was going on around me. This sport makes you concentrate. I know it sharpens the eye; am sure it will steady my hand, and 1t certainly makes the mind work like lightning when that target flies out of the trap. I know I am going to be a bug over this sport"
 Sure enough, Berry has come back for more, and now he says that no matter what sport has to be put out Cf his life later trapshooting is there to stay I knew that was what he would say, and I felt the same fasci- nation would catch him. tried the same thing on other fellows, and it caught them all 's
