These are powerful explosives which

reaches out, grabs the collar Of a man
who has just dropped a depth bomb
over the stern and yanks him uncere-
moniously into the cockpit. At a
glance I see what has happened.

Zeal like that of a friend Of mine who

the truth of the statement that it's
mostly luck gets a submarine. This
chap I speak Of had been cruising
around for months and had never seen
a hostile p%eriscope, much less a SUBJ
marine. He hadn't even found one Of
those spots Of dirty oil that are becom-
ing classic around the British isles.
"Then n day, about noon, with the

along at top speed wondering whether
there really was such a thing in the
world as a German U boat, when sud-
denly, almost dead ahead, he saw
something sort Ct wa.lowiug in the sea.
"The bow gun was loaded, and the
gunner saluted and said, Submarine

TO GIVE EXPLOSIVE CHARGE
Device Forces Gasoline In Form Of
Fine Spray Directly Into the
Intake Manifold.

The spray primer is a device which
draws gasoline direct from the supply
line running to the carburetor and
forces 1t in the form of a fine spray
directly into the intake manifold. The
action is performed by a plunger
pump lifted to the dash. It is only
necessary to draw out the pump and
push 1t in again, to give the motor q
highly explosive charge.

BEAUTY or MOTORS
Really Handsome Cars Stand
Out and Receive Praise.
THEIR NUMBER QUITE SMALL
Experts on Designs Blame Condition
on American Idea Of Quantity
Some Difficulties Cited Artist
Must Face.

The really beautiful automobile
stands out as n of the elect, and
never fails to receive immediate atten-
ton and cheerful praise. Yet the num-
Der of motor cars that measure up to
the canons Of artistic praise is small.
This is so because the art Of creating
them Is but little practiced in America.
The American custom of quality pro-
duction offers but little chance for art.
Where a manufacturer aims for volume
Of production the creation of beautiful
designs i%nterferes with it. Only the
maker whose production Is relatively
limited undertakes to satisfy the
canons of artistic taste.
Hedsed In by Restrictions
Automobile body building is hedged
about by many restrictions. It Is only
in rare cases that the body designer
Is permitted to lay his own foundation,
but must take the chassis as it is
turned over to him by the mechanical
department., and endeavor to do the
best he can on a foundation planned
by someone else, who may not have
the slightest conception of beauty.
Artistic bodies need to be in bal
anced proportion to the hood, but since
this is determined by the length Of the
motor, and since the length of the body
is determined by the wheel base, the
body designer has not much latitude.
Within a definite space back Of the
motor a fixed and arbitrary number Of
persons must be seated and seated
comfortably. Doors for entrance must
be provided. Seats must be high
enough, but not too high, and the
heighth of the body must be kept in
relation to the height of the seats, and
of the hood.
If, with these restrictions, the body
designer succeeds in turning out a har-
mOnious car, he has done we'll. Yet
he has not really done we'll unless 1t
has all been planned so that it will
take color combinations most effect
lively.
To be sure, this will not mean 80
much If the car is to be painted a solid
color, but when this is done it takes
the car out of the class of beautiful
creations.
Early ornamentationa.
In the early days the more orna
mentations in the way of scroll work
and trimmings, the more ornate was
the car. This was before the day Of
simplicity, and before makers learned
that all these additions to a car simply
were 50 many dust gatherers, which it
was we'll nigh impossible to keep clean.
Considering all the handicaps under
which the body designer must work, it
Is not surprising that so few cars are
genuinely artistic in appearance. Build
ing on 4 foundation laid by mechanics,
not artists, restricted to fixed and fire.
quently cramped areas, forced to pro-
vide proper doors and seats and when
all this is done, turn out a beautiful
creation, the designer who does this Is
distinctly an artist.
