British "Penquins."

Pearson's Weekly of London says: !:
"Any woman who works for the Brit
fsh air service, whether at airplane
factory or airdrome, is Il penguin" 1t
is thought by many that this war will
be won In the air. If that is so, then
women win have done more than bit
to help in the winning, for they ara
working their hardest to insure a sup
ply of aircraft that shall outdo that Of
the enemy. But 1t is not only in
waking airplanes that the penguins do
their bit. Cooks and mattresses are
wanted at every airdrome for the
messes of officers and men. and wher-
ever a flying unit is established there
Is plenty of office work to be done.
This means that penguin may choose
the work of clerk. as stenographer
or a bookkeeper, II she does not want
to actually build airplnnes. Agnin,
there are stores of materials that de-
mand women storekeepers. and tailor
esses are wanted.

Water Planes.

There are two distinct types of wa
terplanes-the flying boat Cor boat 1T
ted with wings) and the hydro-air-
plane (or airplane TO which floats
are attached in the place Of the
landing wheels on ordinary airplanes).
There Is also a '.mongrel" type or
"amphibian"-an airplane which has
floats and wheels to enable 1t to alight
on water or on land. By mechanical
arrangement in the pilots seat the
wheels are drawn up into the floats
when the machine Is in the air to less
en- head resistance. They are also
packed away in this manner when the
floats are required.

Making Temporary Repair on
Broken Valve on Highway is
Quite Important.
PIECE OF TIN FOR WASHER
Soft Cedar Stick May Be Used for
Measuring Gasoline in Tank-Tire
Should Be Retreaded When
Worn-Other Points

Nowadays and nownnights when
automobiles glide along city streets
and country roads at a speed far In
excess of that ordained by municipal
bylaws. one sometimes wonders If the
children of the next generation will
know what horses look like or at best
will know them only through the
medium of the pictures of Rosa Bon
heur and other artists.
But fifteen years ago a horse was
almost as necessary TO an automobile
us was gasoline. SO many were the
times when the machine persisted In
landing itself In a ditch or became
stalled in a ditch or. seeming without
adequate cause or reason, in the CEN
ter of the road, that it was never safe
to get very far away from first aid.
Even now catastrophes happen some
times though not so often as for
merly.
Humiliation Avoided.
Some simple bit of ingenuity has
saved many an automobile the hui
4 initiation of being towed to a place
where permanent repair or replace
ment could be made. One very useful
wrinkle Is n temporary repair on
/ broken valve. If valve spring
breaks, remove the pieces and find in
/ the tool box washer that will slip
| over the valve stem. Replace the
broken spring with the washer be-
tween the two parts, and the spring
will work as well as ever.
Care should be taken that the wash
er is of such diameter both inside and
/ outside that the broken spring ends
cannot work into the hole or outside
of the washer. IL the spring is a
| light one. such as the spring of an
automatic inlet valve, and no washer
can be found In the tool box, 1t is pos
sible to hack one out of bit of tin.
| II n screw Is lost from place
I where 1t serves the function only of
a plug, being subjected to no stress,
a wooden plug will always answer the
I purpose.
For measuring the depth of gasoline
in the tank, presumIng that no gaso-
line gauge is fitted, keep a clean stick
in the top of the tank, under the seat
cushion. A soft cedar stick shows the
! height of the gasoline well. Don't
I pick up a stick and poke 1t into the
. tank without making sure that 1t In
clean. or there may be mysterious car
buretor trouble later on-perhaps
after the stick has been entirely for
gotten.
Care Of Tires.
A tire should not be used after the
rubber tread has nearly been worn
through. Have 1t retreaded and 1t
will be good for much more service.
If the canvas is destroyed, however,
the shoe IL permanently ruined.
Missed explosions are not infre-
quently caused by the points of the
spark plugs being too far apart. Or
dinarily the points should be about
one thirty-second of an inch apart. 1t
is true that If they are further apart
and the current is strong, a hotter
spark will be made then If they are
correctly spaced; but the stresses on
the insulation are greater, increasing
the chance OF leakage. and the plug
will fail to spark when the current
strength decreases a little as 1t must

Ex-Kaiser Is Cut Off
From Outside World

Amcrongcn, Holland, Dec. 16.-
The former German Emperor con-
tinues to lead the life of near
recluse, being virtually cut off from
the outside world. Reports that he
was in constant communication with
his former advisers are not true.
There is no truth in. the rumors
that the eX-empress is seriously ill.
She has been troubled for years
with an affection of the heart, and
after her arrival here desired to
have her former physician in attend
ance. He arrived at the castle yes
terday, and said that her condition
showed no change. ....
Whenever there is break in the
incessant driZzle customary in Hol-

wife walk in the rain-soaked
grounds with one or two attendants.
Sometimes they take a trip in a

The correspondent inquired into
the rumor that the eX-emperor in
tended to move his quarters, and
learned that Herr Hohenzollern was
not interested in other houses in
Holland and was not likely to move
anywhere until he knew more re-
garding his future.
