ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

1t is easy enough to be happy
When your car 'purrs' along like q
song,
But there's no joy at all
In car that will "stall'
When the battery goes all wrong.
For there's nothing so tests the tenn
per
If there's no way to make the thing
spark,
And one thinks of the smile,
That mile after mile,
Made mot'ring a care free lark.
For magnetic ignition" is certain
1t ne'er causes worry or plight,
And it's better to know
When a-touring you go
That you won't be hung up all night

A PUBLIC NUISANCE
C. w. Morrison
Correspondent on Automotive
Topics.)

Correspondent on Automotive
ToPics.)
Recently, all over the United
States, motor car drivers have beer
greatly annoying the public by caus-
ing a series of loud explosions from
their motor cars. Noise making
came into vogue during the celebra-
tions and parades incident to the
signing of the armistice, but there is
no longer any excuse for it.
The sound is similar to the firing
of gun in the street. In nine cases
out of ten, this is purposely done by
the driver, who suddenly shuts off his
spark and then advances it again.
The next exhaust charge from the
engine, being a flame, ignites the gas
that was not fired when the spark was
shut off, and explodes it inside the
muffler, from which the live gas had
no time to escape, instead of inside
the engine, where the explosion
would give power and the noise then
be silenced in the muffler.
This usually happens where the
battery ignition is manipulated by
hand. 1t is not so easy with magnetic
ignition, as that is fool-proof.
The magnetic produces a big, fat
spark at all speeds and there is no
need of advance or retard, for it &C
commodities itself to all speeds and
produces spark at every power
stroke of the piston, unless the cur
rent is switched entirely off and on
again-that bother would spoil the
drivers fun.
City councils and other law-mak-
ing bodies should stop this nuisance
of sudden explosions, which brighten
nervous people, seriously affecting
those suffering with mental or heart
trouble, and even persons having the
stronger nerves.
Many cities are framing ordinanc-
es prohibiting unnecessary noises,
such as "cut-outs," blatant horns,
changing bells, shrieking exhaust
whistles, and should act at once
agains this new trick, by passing an
ordinance to compel all motor cars
to have magnetic ignition, and thus
prevent this nuisance.

HONOR
By Edgar A. Guest.


Nothing matters only this:
That the fight you made was fair
Goals of glory you may miss
Honors you may fail to wear,
But if you have done your best
You have met the real test.
Not in victory alone
Is the worth of mortals told,
God has never made it known
That he sent us here for gold.
We must dare for what is right
But we need not win the fight.
Nothing matters save that we
Shall not sell our souls for gain;
Shall not, for the victory
On our honor place a stain;
Better is it not to win
Than to triumph black with sin.
Take the failure if we must,
Think no more about the prize,
If your battle has been just
You have conquered in His eyes
You shall rest in peace at night
If you've made an honest fight.
