Sparks in Ocean Flight

A "fact-fiend," who is also an
aeronautical enthusiast, submits the
following:
The twelve-cylinder Rolls Royce
engine used on Harry G. Hawker's
Sopwish biolane, with which he hopes
to fly across the Atlantic Ocean
from Halifax to England, is fitted
vita four magnetos for ignition. en-
tirely independent of any batteries
Only two magnetos will be used. one
FOR each six cylinders. The extra
two magnetos are for emergency
purposes only. All twelve cylinders
fire their compressed gas once
every second revolution of the pro-
peller, thus SIX cylinders fire every
revolution
The normal revolutions Of this
engine are 1890 each minute or
lOS'ooO an hour. For journey If

Don't Tinker; Don't Neglect;
Then Your Car Will Go Right
Details Must Always Be Covered, Because Only
by Unremittng Ate ntion Can Indications of
Trouble Be Avoided: Sound Advice to Owners

In order that you may get the maxi
mum of enjoyment and comfort out of
your car you must be as considerable
and thoughtful about it as you would
of fine horse that is as fine and
costly as your car.
Therefore:
Do not race the motor unnecessarily.
Be warned by every abnormal noise:
if a a squeak locate it and Intricate the
part. If it is some other noise locate
tie loose parts that cause it and tight
en- the bolts.
Don't tinker. Half the ability to
make an adjustment or repairs is the
ability to discover its necessity.
Some motorists are said 10 have
luck with their cars. There never
seems to be any trouble, everything
is trim and neat, the motor always
starts when wanted and runs as long
as it is needed without any of the
eXasperating breakdowns on the road
with when the unfortunate one thinks
himself cursed through the careless
ness OF the manufacturer. With all
adjustments carefully made when
reeded. every bearing and working part
we'll fabricated, the whole car will
work very sweetly and Will continue
TO do so with only very small fraction
of the attention that would be abso-
lutely necessary for the care of 4
horse.
BY neglecting details you VIII save
yourself some time and inconvenience
in getting on your way; but the day Of
reckoning IS sure to come. What YOU
have saved viii be spent in expensive
roadside repairs.
Never drive your car at high speed
over any road. much less a rough or
slippery one. The slight gain in time
saved will not offset the liability OF
an accident nor the pounding and rack
ing to which the car is subjected.
Usually the time saved is unimportant
when figured in dollars and cents. The
resulting repair bills, which IL time are
sure TO follow, are never urimportant.
II has been demonstrated that the
motorist who drives his car at average
speeds Of from twenty-five to thirty
five miles per hour over all sorts Of
/ roads pays much more per mile fer
gasolene. oil and tires than the one who
! is more conservative and averages from
eighteen TO twenty miles per hour
In addition a car which is driven
at high speeds all the time is in the
repair shop at frequent intervals, which
adds to the cost per mile of operation.
1t is not the question Of how many
miles are covered IN a given time that
counts but the number of miles Of use
full travel that can be obtained at the
least cost for fuel oil. tires and repairs.

Each Of the many buildings which
make up the Brscoe plant was de-
signed not only to do a certain work,
but TO do it with thu highest possible
degree OF cooperation with every other
branch of the factory. In other words,
the basic idea was to have az little
lost motion as possib ole in the various
steps connected with the manufacture
and assembling of the car.
"A natural accompaniment of this
idea was the realization that greatest
efficiency could only be obtained if
the greatest possible portion of the
car was actually manufactured by the
Briscoe Corporation itself. The fac
tory has been steadily working toward

hardy souls were struggling on the
streets with the product of the early
stages of the automobile industry to
the tannting cries Of Get Horse, and
even in more recent years, with motor
car development to the point when cars
became q recognized necessity, there
seemed to be d feeling that cabriolets
and coupes were only to be utilized by
persons in certain phases Of life and
occupation
NO doubt this was partly due to the
fact that physicians and those people

pleasure were necessarily out in all

probably is also true that these closed

Yawning the Result of
insufficient Oxygen

When you yawn you do so because
you have not been breathing quite pro-
perl y and for some reason or other
your blood supply has not been get
ting sufficient oxygen through the air
which mas been taken into your lungs.
Natures way, in this instance, is to
cf~. for a big intake of air all at one
time, and since 1t is important at such
times that large quantity of air
should be supplied to the lungs at
once, nature has so arranged matters
that certain muscles shall cause you TO
open your mouth wide and take in as
much air as you can at one time. and
also has arranged so that it is almost
impossible to keep from yawning when
the demand for it is once made. The
yawn is controlled by part of our
nerve structure which looks after the
breathing apparatus.
The satisfaction we feel after a
wholesome yawn is due to the fact
that having replied to natures de-
mand that we bring in more air. our
blood secures the oxygen which it
needs and We feel the effect of better
blood in our arteries at once
A peculiar thing about the process
Of yawning is that one person in a
room yawning will quite likely Set all
or nearly all the others yawning also.
There seems to be 10 explanation of
this excepting that when a number of
people are in one room and one of
them begins to yawn the others do so
not because they perceive the first
yawn so much as the probable fact
that the air in the room has become so
poor that there is not enough good air
for all the people in it, breathing nor
mally, and many of them are forced to
yawn at about the same time.-Book
of Wonders.
