It has been generally conceded every where that the service heads of the soldier, sailor, marine and aviator by the famous artist, J. c. Leyendecker have most successfully represented the types of young American manhood that made up the "oversea" forces.
 This is borne out by the fact that the Liggett X Myers Tobacco company, for whom these heads were painted by Leyen- decker, to be used in advertising their Chesterfield brand of cigarettes, have received a very large number of letters

have four cylinders and four coils,
all that will be necessary, In order to
time the four coils and four cylinders,
will be to have four segments on the
timer instead of only one Such a
timer in connection with the four coils
is shown In the illustration, Fig. 1.
Instead Of having q wire go to the
battery from each of the four coils,
they are connected together by a wire
or bar of copper, and a single wire is
run from this bar to the battery, or
magnetic. This bar, which is shown
in the illustration, is called buzz bar.
Let US now trace the primary cur
rent and, for change, let us do this
backward. Thus the current will start
at the battery or magnetic, then 60
through the grounded wire D to the
engine, then through the engine to
the rotor, through the rotor to the
segment with which the motor is in
contact, then to the coil connected to
this segment, through the coil, then
vibrator, then to the sbuzz-bar by wire
B and so to the switch and back to
the battery.
You will notice that the current

3. Set the rotor, so that a line
drawn from the mark you have just
made to the center OF the rotor shaft,
will pass through the point of the rotor
which would first touch the segment
OF the timer and fasten it. On Ford
cars 1t is necessary to compress the
rotor little against its spring, as this
is the position 1t will take when in
the timer.
10. Place the timer on the engine
and connect the wire from coil num-
Der to the top binding post. Where
the wires are in casing so that they
cannot be easily traced, you can tell
which is connected to coil number l
by closing the switch and then touch
ing the wires to the engine one after
the other, until he wire which will
make coil number vibrate is found.
The other wires can be found like
wise.
II. Test the setting. When the
switch is closed cold number one
should vibrate, but If the spark con-
troll lever is slightly retarded 1t should
stop vibrating. If it fails to stop the
rotor must be turned back little.
Failure of the coil to vibrate is a sign
that the rotor must be moved a little
In the direction of rotation. BY no.
ticing the amount the spark control
lever must be retarded before the
coil stops vibrating, or advanced be-
fore it starts to vibrate, you can Judge
the amount the rotor must be moved
one way or the other.
IL. After the rotor has been prop
erly set, attach the rest of the prim-
aries in the firing order, that is, if the
firing order is 1-2-4-3, coil will be
attached to the second segment hit
by the rotor, four to the third and
three to the fourth.
The above, being given in great
detail. may seem to be more difficult
than it really is. 1t would be well
for Ford owners to sort of check up
the wiring of their car by going over
