Clean Spark Plugs and
Save the Batteries

1.-THE man who is too busy to
clean his spark plugs is shortening
his battery life" This is the opin-
ion of Elmer Rosengren of the Ne
braska Storage Battery company.
Even though the engine is using
magnetic ignition the carbon on the
spark plugs is putting unnecessary
work on the battery. The engine
must be turned over more rapidly
in order to get 4 spark from the
magnetic and the battery has to do
much more work for each start than
It would if the plugs were clean"
"The motorist who unserews and
cleans his spark plugs every week
or two will find that he has taken
a big load off the battery and that
he is able TO- get his engine turning
over in noticeably shorter time"

chine is not practical because the
entire chasey Of an Essex automo-
bile has been used. However, when
one takes into consideration the fact
that the bombing plane built by the
United States government will carry
1000 pounds of bombs, it is quite
evident that the weight Of an Essex
chassey would make comparatively
little difference in flying the ma
chine. The wings, struts, and va
rious other appliances are made of
the same material used in construct
ing aeroplanes and the Essex motor
will develope a greater horse power
than numerous aeroplanes.

you don't watch out.
1t isn't anybody's fault but your
own, either. Your teacher can tell
you where your mistakes are, and
how to correct them, just as your
mother can tell you where the
cookies are and how to reach them,
but your teacher can not conquer
your COLLINS, for you any more than
your mother can eat your cookies
for you, and you get any good from
it.
The COLLINS are there, they are
getting bigger every day. Are you
going to master them and be worth

you going to walk down the corri-

shake him, you simply have to settle
down and have it out with him, or
he will be there all your life. And
he won't be only in music, either.
Unless you rid yourself~of him, he
will bother you in all of your other
work, in just the same way, so you
might as well make up your mind to
what you are going to do about it.
There is one thing sure, you can't
go up the ladder of fame with him.
So it is entirely up to you, child
prodigies and students of music,
whether the COLLINS all get you or
not. There they are, right in the

TIME eve OF q new year might
not be an inappropriate time to
= remind young musical prodigies,
that the "goblins II get them II
they don't watch out" The warning
applies to all students of music, be-
sides the prodigies, but the other
pupils are perhaps more wary. for
they do not feel themselves so
favored Of the gods, as the prodigies.
But the COLLINS will get all of them
IL they aren't careful. The COLLINS
always get them, they always get
the majority of the students and
the majority of musical prodigies.
know il, and I never become very
wildly enthusiastic about prodigies
any more, because it is usually bet
ter to defer the excitement until
one can see which is going to win,
the prodigy or the COLLINS. The
COLLINS really have some advantage,
for they grow rapidly, and, if they
are let alone, make perfect nuis-
ances Of themselves until finally
they have got" you sure. But the
pupil has some advantages too, for
II he won't let the goblin grow, but
will meet him early in the game,
fairly and squarely. and, unpleasant
as it is, fight it out with him before
he gets too big, the goblin will
not only never bother him any
more. but Immediately will be trans
formed into = good fairy. always
ready ani obedient, to help him on
bis way.
II doesn't make any difference
whether you believe in COLLINS or
not. They are there. When they
are little they content themselves
with tripping you up, and knocking
you over unexpectedly. When they
get bigger, they begin to block
your way to progress and advance.
ment in your chosen line, and
eventually, they lead you down the
pathway Of defeat to oblivion.
One Of the very hardest COLLINS
to conquer is rhythm. Rhythm gets
more talented people than almost
any other goblin. If it isn't
subdued early, it can grow and

There are certain people who would
be among the great ones if they
only had stronger sense of
rhythm, for they seem to have
everything else, but their goblin
keeps them out.
Time values are usually at the
basis sof poor rhythm. Many I

There are lots Of other musical

| NOuIlCE speaks ABOUT the unfortunate
management of the Vatican choirs.
Incidentally it pays a high tribute to
Monsignor Casimini and his body
Of singers, bv saying that there is
not and "never has been 4 choir in
Rome itself to compare with this Sc
.ected body of men, chosen from the
singers of the ,Schola Cantorum of
the Vatican, the Sistine choir and
the choirs of St. John Lateran and
Santa Maria Maggiore." But it goes
on to say that it was unfortunate
that those who were responsible for
bringing this choir here, handled the
splendid body of singers as Circus
attraction" so to speak, instead of
sending it on tour as a straight mt
steal offering. Undoubtedly those
who brought the choir to the United
States made money. It was impossi-
bic not to do 50 in view Of the
enormous prizes at which the choir
was sold to the local managers. In
fact, the prestige of the Catholic
church was deliberately exploited by
these managers to gouge the local

compensate by charging the public
ridiculous prices. Thus one Of the
most creditable demonstrations of
the fact that the church. that great
patron of art from its earliest
foundation, was still capable of an
artistic manifestation of the first
rank, was debased for the sake of the
private gain of the American pro-
motors.
There are prospects Of several con-
cerfs to be held in 1920, but there
have been seasons when the dawn of
the New Year held promise of
great many more musical events
than the present one. Yet every con-
cert which has been given thus far
has brought forth huge audiences,
and in the learger cities, where opera
and concerts are frequent, packed
houses have been the rule without
exception. An article in the Musical
Leader says that conditions are
largely responsible for this state Of
| affairs. Many people with more.
