Lafayette Debut
New York Show Week
Mccall Whites New Car Will Be
Exhibited at Hotel
Commodore

American motordom %il have its
first opportunity to inspect the new
Lafayette car the week Of the New
York Automobile Show, January 8 to
10: The latest creation Of D. Mccall
White, designer of the English Daimler
and Napier and one Of the eight
cylinder Cadillac, will be exhibited in
the main lobby Of the Hotel Comma
dore.
The practice Of the National Auto
mobile, Chamber Of Commerce. which
bars the doors of the national shows
to any car that has not been in pro-
duction for at least one year makes
Imperative a private showing of the
Lafayette, which, six months ago, was
only in blue print stage.
The car to go on view will be an
experimental, hand-bullt chassis, fitted
with sedan body. No prices will be
announced during show week Machin-
cry is now being installed in the new
Lafayette plant in Indianapolis, and
the stage is being set for production
early next summer.

Hugo Urges Safety
First to Motorists

Francis M. Hugo, Secretary of
State, will send safety first"
message to the $4,000 AUTOMOBILE
lists in this state in the next few
weeks. A card will be inserted
with each renewal blank, urging
Automobiles to exercise greater
caution in approaching grade cross
ings.
The message will read:
Each year more than 1900 per-
sons are killed and 1000 injured
on railroad crossings in the Unit
ed States. The number is stead
lily increasing.
The majority Of the deplorable
accidents can be avoided by auto
mobilists exercising care at grade
crossings. Don't take chances.
Even if a crossing is protected
by gates, fagman or bell, be sure
you are safe.
The best safety device in the
world is & careful driver. Stop,
look both ways, and listen. Play
safe. A moments caution may
save your life.

Much Ado About Nothing.

The mouthy Kansas congressman
who is working overtime in order to
secure the passage of an act prohibit
ing the president of the United State
from going beyond the borders of his
own domain could engage IN more
profitable business. AnywaJ, the pas
sage Of such a law now would be like
locking the stable door after the
family horse fad been stolen.
Believing it to be his solemn Guty
to go to Paris and participate
lin the deliberations of the Peace Con-
ference, President Wilson totally
disregarding his critics who knew
but little Of what they were speaking,
went abroad, accomplished his impor-
tant mission and promptly returned
to his post in Washington. Most peo-
pie outside OF the Republican party
believe that the service which Presi-
dent Wilson rendered his people and
the world at large justified his absent
ing himself from Washington. Fur
thermore, the Paris Office was in con-
slant communication with the White
House and the chief expecutive could
discharge his duties pertaining to
home affairs almost as we'll from
Paris as from the White House.
Granting that President Wilson
Wilson made mistake by going
abroad, it is now too late to correct
it and it is quite probable that CEN
turies will come and go before it will
be necessary, if ever again, for the
president of the United States to go
abroad. Therefore viewed from every
angle, the Kansas congressman is max
ing much ago about nothing.

the mountains from Greenville to
Hendersonville, with dinner at the
latter place, was likewise source of
great pleasure. But the climax of the
lavish entertainment came Wednes-

Merciless Pro6teering Prevented.

Merciless Prohteering Prevented.
Some rather unpatriotic individu-
ais who were disposed to resent the
efforts of the food administration to
conserve and equalize the distribution
of food stuffs during the war can
find in the present acute sugar situa-
tion, good reason for government
restrictions and control during the
war. With sugar now selling in some
cities at % cents a pound, eight
months after the cessation of hostili-
ties, what would have been the top
most price year ago had the govern
ment not effectively throttled profit
eernig? Why, flour might have been
S25 the barrel, sugar 80 or 40 cents
the pound and meats and fats of all
kinds ranged around a dollar a
pound. Conscienceless spectators
would have profteered mercilessly
had not the government taken hold
of the situation with a firm hand.
Sundry reasons are given for the
present sugar shortage, but who can
say that speculation is not back of it
all, causing an apparent shortage of
supply in order to extort unreason-
able prices? If this be their purpose,
let's consume less sugar and defeat
them at their own game.

GreenviIle Most Charming Host.

Nearly one hundred editors and
publishers gathered in Greenville
last week to attend the 45th session
of the South Carolina Press Associa-
tion, and there was not dull moment
from the time foot was set upon
Greenville's soil to the parting hour.
The Greenville people through the
committee on entertainment consist
ing of Rion McKissick, B. H. Peace,
George Koester and F. M. Burnett,
the latter being the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, left nothing
undone that would contribute in any
manner whatsoever to the pleasure
of their guests from all parts of the
State.
The attendance upon the conven-
tion was very large and the business
sessions were both interesting and
helpful to- the members of the craft.
The opinion was expressed by many
that it was the best session of the
Press Association held in ten years.
The social intercourse, the personal
touch, that these meetings afford is
helpful to the newspaper folk. 1t
helps members of every craft or pro-
fession to meet their fellow workers
face to face. AS the Imperial Hotel
was selected as convention headquar-
tiers, the business sessions being held
there also, an opportunity was afford
ed for the newspaper workers to min
gle with each other much of the time.

The strength of the magnetism OF
the core will depend upon the voltage
and amperags Of the current in the

that this strength of magnetism will
cause a current to flow In Co. of
the same voltage as that in (G).
Now from we learn that If the coil
(B) had two turns OF wire, each turn
would have the same voltage, and
both of these voltages-voltage in
(C) will be twice that of (G), while
If there were three turns, it would be
three times as great, and and If there
were a thousand turns, it would be
a thousand times as great. Thus, II

and we suddenly closed the switch

that in (G). Here we have what we
are after, a means of Transforming
the low voltage current Of our battery
into one of high voltage.
For various reasons. a single turn

turns, while that to the plugs has
about thousand times as many turns,

LESSON No. 8
Induction Coll

In a previous lesson. we learned
that we required very high voltage
in order that the current could jump
across the spark plug points, while 1t
was Impractical to carry enough bat
teries or large enough generator to
give us this high voltage. We will now
see how We can transform low volt
age current into one of high voltage.
This brings US to the study of the
induction coil.
AS every ignition system has an In
duction coil, 1t Is extremely important
for the reader to clearly understand
1t. While It Is a dificult thing to un-
derstand, believe, II the student will
carefully study each one of the actions
given below, that he will be able to
understand the various systems. He
will however, have to rely on his mag
ination to some extent and take for
granted that each of the actions given
is true, even though he does not quite
see why or how they take place.
If an insulated wire is coiled
about a piece OF soft iron, or bundle
OF soft iron wires, very much the
same as thread Is coiled on a spool,
and an electric current made to flow
through this wire, the piece of soft
iron, which we might name the core,
will become a magnet, and will draw
to It comparatively heavy pieces OF
steel.
IF the flow OF the current is stop.
ped, the core will cease to be a mag
net.
The above is a property Of electri-
city and magnetism which, while diff
cult to explain, is used in a great
many electrical devices, notably the

way my own imagination lets me pic
ture this action in my minds eye.
First, l must tell you Of a simple
experiment II we laid a magnet on
a table, and put piece Of paper on
this magnet and then sprinkled some
iron filings on the paper, these filings
upon tapping the paper would form
themselves in definite lines. as shown
In Fig. /. Thus proving that there
are certain lines of force running from
the one pole to the other and taking
the course shown by the filings. Elec-
tricfans call these magnetic lines OF
force. OF these there will be millions.
depending on the strength OF the
magnet.
Let US imagine that when the soft
iron core is not a magnet, these lines
are in the iron itself. as shown in
Fig. 2, and that when the core is mag
netized. they are sort Of blown out
from the core, much the same as a
balloon acts when being blown up. II
their ends be fastened to ends Of the
core, the result would be that these
lines would then bulge out from the
side Of the core until they took the
form Of Fig. l.
Now suppose a wire were wrapped
around the core. Then these wires
would tend to prevent this bullying
out. and the lines would then first
take the form shown in Fig 3, until
the strain became SO great that they
snapped. In swapping. the lines would
coil, or whip lash, about the wires.
There being, however. millions of
these lines, more Of them will have
coiled on the wire than can be held on
1t. and they will, therefore. be forced
to travel along the wire. Thus the
magnetic lines will have been CON

verified into electric lines, or electricity
Let us assume that after the lines
have snapped about the wires they
succeed in joining their ends and thus
take the form shown in Fig. 4.
Now. when the core is demagne-
tized,, let us suppose that the lines
contract and again try to take the
form shown in Fig. 2. AS they meet
the wires while contracting, they will
first take the form of Fig. 5, then
snap about the wires and then send
a current of electricity through the
wires, much the same as in the pre-
vious case, but in the opposite direc-
ton.
To review the above, we see that
II soft iron core have a coil. of wire
wound about it, 1t will be a magnet,
while an electric current Is flowing
through the wire, and that this action
will work In the opposite direction:
Chat Is, II core be suddenly magne-
TIED or demagnetized, a current will
flow in the wires coiled about it,;
and that the voltage Of this current
will be dependent on the number of
turns of wire.
Let us now see how we can use
the above actions to transform the low
voltage current Ito give which we can
conveniently carry sufficient batteries
or large enough generator) into the
high voltage current which we must
have in order that 1t can burst or
jump across the air gap of the spark
plugs.
Referring to Fig 6, this shows a
Core (A), with a single coil of wire
OBJ wound about one end of it. From
the above. (3) and (S). we learn that
If we could suddenly magnetic the
core (a). a shot of current would
flow through the wire c. How can
we magnetic this core? Why, by
simply winding about the other end
another coil OF wire and letting a cur
rent pass through this from battery
or other source and having a switch
in the current for controlling the flow
of the current.
Figure shows what we now have,

BICYCLE FAMINE COMING

A bicycle famine is coming, accord
ing to inside information from bicycle
manufacturers.
The lost production ON account Of
war work, ana inability to get steel,
has already caused a serious shortage.
There is also tremendous export de-
mand for bicycles.
In the meantime, the existing short
age of bicycles is daily becoming more
acute and veritable bicycle famine
seems inevitable Men in the industry
who know the actual capacity of the
plants estimate that it will take at
least a year for the output to catch
up with the demand.
