America is setting the fashion in

that many Of the best foreign makes
will present after-the-war models

A new spark plug cleaner consists OF
a fve-inch glass tube with threaded
bushing into which the spark plug
screws. The tube Is filed half full Of
gasolene and contains about fifty
special needles. When the tube is
shaken, the needles pick the carbon
of the porcelain and the gasolene dis
solves the oil. 10 is said that whole
set Of plugs can thus be cleaned in
very short time, without taking the
plugs apart. The cleaner sells for 10
cents.
Another new thing in the way Of a
spark plug has the usual central cleo
trode, but the she'll at the lower end is
extended TO form a slotted cage below
the electrode. In the cage is a ball,
which is free to jump around, but the
clearances are Nsuch that the ball can
not make contact with the electrode
and the walls of the cage at the same
time. The effect claimed for the ball
arrangement is twofold: first, that the
carbon is knocked of by the ball as
fast as IL forms, thus keeping the plug
clean, and, second, that the spark
which must pass through the ball
changes its path continually. The
makers particularly recommend the
plug for engines in which it is diff
cult or impossible TO keep the plugs
clean. 1t is contended that 1t is i'm
possible to feed so much oil az to pu;
the plug out OF business. The price
is 81.
Anti-skid chains automatically APP
piled is the idea of novel device. The
sections Of chain are carried in swiv.
elled bell shaped housings, one for
each wheel, on the rear axle. The
housings are friction-driven from
fibre rings on the wheels. As they
turn, the chains are thrown outward
and fall under the tires. When the
chains are not needed. the housings
are reversed and the chains drop into
them out Of sight. The operation IL
controlled by lever convenient 20 the
driver. The chains can thus be ap
piled, without the driver leaving the
seat, when they are needed for short
stretches over wet pavements or In the
case OF sudden rain storms.

LECTURES ON ARIZONA

During the next two weeks the University of Arizona is to have a wonderful opportunity to hear series of lectures on Arizona, the Wonder land," by George Wharton James, an author, lecturer and investigator of international reputation. Dr. James has for the. past year been lecturing at the San Diego Exposition. Dr. James has devoted many years to geographical, geological, ethnolog- ical and archaeological research in Ca lifornia, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexicon and Arizona, especially in the regions of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, the Colorado desert in Southern California, and among the Wallapai, Navajo, Apache, Zuni, Hopi, Acoma, and other Pueblo Indians, and is probably better qualified to speak on the subjects mentioned than any other man. Dr. James is a forceful speaker, a remarkable painter of word pictures. His program at the University in- cludes the following subjects:
 Arizona, the Wonderland.
 The Franciscans in Arizona and their Literature.
 The Grand Canyon of Arizona.
 The Literature of Arizona.
 The Havasupai Indians and Their Cataract Canyon Home.

POULTRY MARKET BREAKS;
LOWER PRICES EXPECTED

Chickens are the outstanding exception to the
general rule that prices are going up all tue
time The good old barnyard dellcacy and Its
milk fed cousin, is getting lower in price and
is actually underselling some OF the meats tina
In normal times cost considerably less per pound.
The reason for the drop IN the market Is two
fold First rnd foremost, 1t Is due to the fac'
that last TALL the storage houses OF the coun-
try laid in 10, 600, 600 pounds more than Is us
ually the case. Storage facilities had been i'm
proved and government investigation had re-
suited in me stamp of approval being placed on
cold storage chickens thereby confirming the
claim that frozen chickens are highly desirable
and equal IN all respects to fresh ones.
Under normal conditions the chickens forage
are cleared Of their stock before the fall crop
Of chickens reaches the market but this year
conditions have not been normal. The nation
has been seeking to economic and mepy peo-
pie overlooked the real meaning of economy
and denied themselves things they &C.
customed Lave. The demand for chickens
fell off oercsptibIy. The result Of tls larger
supply and smaller demand became apparent
when the government cold storage statistics
for May and June came out. May Z, los es-
Adjustments in the country submitted reports
which showed stocks OF chickens hand were
last year. June l. the record was about 500 per
cent ahead OF June 1915.
In other words there about 10000, 600
pounds Of first class chickens in storage ami
they must I've moved out in tie next three
months. Lower prices ar the result and re-
ports from various parts Of the country show
the chickens ave dropped in value until they
can be bought as low and even lower than was
the cast at this time last year. So 1t looks like
every day will be Sunday for the housewives
who make study OF household economy-the
science Of getting the best and the most eat
ebles for che least money.
Chickens appear TO be one OF the best bets
