III Does Its Work Without Any
Attention From Driver--Dis-
s order Quickly Noticed.

"'Why is a muffier used on car?
is common question among motor
lists" says G. V. Kenworthy, president
of the Stewart Automobile school, "and
they sometimes add, What care does
1t need and to what troubles is 1t sub
jectY
1.-THE purpose of the muffier is to d.
minish the noise of the exhaust. The
gas escapes from the exhaust valve at
high pressure and strikes the car with
disagreeable force unless it is silenced.
1t is necessary to reduce the pressure
from each explosion and to allow the
gas to escape so that a great deal of
Its force is dissipated and it's disjointed
nature completely changed. The gas
then passes out quietly with only a
slight pulsation or throbbing.
Method Simple.
1.-THE methods by which this is
Brought about are very simple. A gas
passing along an ordinary pipe would
be slowed down and spread out. But
this arrangement would require too
| long a pipe. So battle plates are used
| to make the gas turn corners and force
its way through small holes in the
plates. In some mufflers the gas en-
| tiers an expansion chamber. All this
time it is losing heat and so contract
ing; thus it slows down more and
more. ....
"The care of a muffler Is to leave
/ it alone until it becomes clogged. 1t
1 does it's work without any attention
/ and requires nothing from the driver
The only time we think of it is when
we wish to find out if the engine is
missing explosions. Then we cut out
the muffier and listen to the sound OF
the exhaust.
"a Beware SCOT.
/ "About the only trouble to which the
muller is subject is that it becomes

Never within the last tw~enty-four
years have the educational institu-
lions in Perth Amboy been so free
from infectious and contagious dis
eases and maladies, according to a
statement made recently by S. Il.
Shull, city superintendent of schools.
This fact, which bespeaks we'll for
the city, is attributed to the efficient
efforts of the three nurses employed
by the Board of Education, who have
been waging active campaigns in
schools to eradicate the smallest
trace of sickness. These nurses spend
their entire time in examining the
children in the various buildings and
make monthly reports to the super

month follow: BY doctors, number
of visits to schools, 81; number of
rooms, AZ; pupils examined. 1859;
contagious cases, 8; pupils excluded,
8; inspector consulted, IL; sent to
medical examiners office, z; general
healthfulness of pupils and sanitary
condition of buildings, good; by
nurses, number of visits, 81; number
of classrooms visited, 262: contagious
cases found, 1877; cases given tenn
porary treatment, $50; healthfulness
of pupils and sanitary condition of
buildings, good.
During May the total enrolment in
all schools was 7,4S7; average at
tendance, 6,7S3; number of visits by
superintendent, 1853; visits by COM
missioners, 8. One hundred and nine
teen parents visited the schools, thus
showing an interest in the work, and
the homes represented numbered
