to give. Fortunately. the induction
coil, which viii be explained later,
can be used TO convert a low voltage
current into one Of high voltage.
There are three methods used In
the automobile to obtain the electri-
cal current, namely, the dry cell, which
is a device by which the current is
made duo to a chemical action; the
storage battery, a device by which the
current from some other source is
stored up, to be used at will; the Mag
neto and Generator or Dynamo, by
which some of the energy Of the en-
CINE is converted into electricity.
The Magnetic we will take up sep
aratsly, while the storage battery and
generator will be taken UP with the
starting and lighting systems.
The Dry Cell.
A dry cell usually has an outer shell
made of zinc, next to which are plac-
ed q number of layers of plotting
paper, saturated with a solution OF
sal-ammoniac and water. In the cen
ter Is a piece of carbon, the space be
tween this and the blotting paper be
ing filled up with either coke or saw
dust. The top of the battery is then
sealed.
If wire is connected to the inner
carbon, then run to the units where
current Is required, and then back to
the zinc of the battery, a current hav-
ing a pressure of about l II volts will
due to the chemical action between
the zinc and the solution in the blot
ting paper, flow from the carbon,
through the units and return to the
zinc.
The current coming from the car

but II the pressure, or Voltage be
raised sufficiently, the electricity will
burst through this layer of air, and
in doing Sd win cause a spark to be
produced.
1t Is the above action which Is used
to give the spaI1ks required to ignite
the gasoline mixture in the cylinder
of the engine
Examine now a spark plug. You
win notice that the portion OF the
plug which is screwed into the cylin-

OF wire, or a number Of small points,
which are shout 1-64 to 1872 Of an inch

FOURTH LESSON.

We now come To tho study of the
ignition systemR, that is, of the de-
vices which arc used to ignite the
explosive compressed mixture Of gas
and air, which We have in the cy1in-
ders.
In tho autmnbile this is accom-
plished by the utilization of some of
the well known properties and action
Of the electric current. To understand
tho ignit1on syHtem, therefore, we
must know some 0 the simple laws
OF electricity, and ] win first explain
these laws and what the various terms

USE SCRAP ENDS

In building automobile tires the cot

Formerly the scrap ends of fabric re-

these ends are used in making up
small rugs, which are sold to employees
at a very reasonable figure.

The comedy this season is in two

Songs and terpsichorean revelries
from start to finish, the settings are
magnificent. No attempt has been
made to be just gaudy with a mere
color background before which the
vivid costumes of the chorus and still
more vivid principals cavort to catch
the eye. There is an art to the
background of pretty Baby" which
has helped to make it the one big mu-
steal hit of the year. The costumes
ao a delight to the eye, syncopated
beautiful and lend themselves read
iIy to discernible color designs, 50
tnat the stage is never moment
without a picture.
pretty Baby" is musical show
that makes the audience laugh up
roariously, and will strain the sides
and bring a catch to the throat and
tears to the eye.
The same we'll known cast is with

This wonderful story, with a few

Something held me to the spot on

a man's, loud and reckless, the other

When woman has been forced into
a lovless marriage, and it is crush
ing the very soul out of her, and the
iron law will not permit her to es-

commit if she fees to man to whom
she is married in her heart?
Once in a hundred years there
