CHILDREN BRING CHEER

The pupils of the seventh and
eighth grades of the Training School
had planned to give each other a small
Christmas gift to be placed on our
tree, but the result Of a Red Cross
meeting was that we would omit this
and help the needy people around Be-
rea.
Miss English gave her consent and
on Tuesday the children brought po-
tatoes, rice, beans, cabbage, toma-
toes and other foods. Fifteen bas-
kets were filled for fifteen families.
A magazine was slipped into the
top of each basket, and as we had
several articles of clothing, we put
a cap and scarf with the basket that
was going to family with a small
girl, pair of shoes into a man's
share, and so on, for we wanted to
be sure our contributions were to
benefit the right person.
A sprig of holly and a card telling
who were the donors made the bas-
kets look CHEEKY.
On our way to the Red Cross rooms
we sang carols at the Robinson Hos.
pital, then left our provisions with
Miss English and went to the Col
lege Hospital and sang there.
The baskets were taken to the peo-
pie, and we were told that they were
all happy and pleased to be remem-
bered on Christmas Day, and I think
we will all agree that at is more
blessed to give than to receive"

LINCOLN INSTITUTE SUSPENDS
SCHOOL OPERATIONS FORl>
LACK OF WATER

On Monday of this week the Fac
ulty of Lincoln Institute, colored
Normal and Industrial school. twenty
two miles east of Louisville, told the
students that those who wished to
do so might go home until the water
situation should be changed. The In
stitute depends on surface drainage
impounded in two reservoirs. The
water is chemically filtered. The
first reservoir was built four times
as large as was judged necessary by
the u. s. expert photographer, but
it proved wholly inadequate to the
need. A second, larger, was built,
but the two have been insufficient.
Three trials have been made of Dor
ing for water, but all have failed,
Since early last June there have been
no rains which materially affected the
reservoirs. From the beginning of
the fall term water has had to be
hauled for all purposes except the
power and heating plant, and most of
the time for that also. When the
severe weather began, though water
was shipped in tank cars from Louis
vile, it became practically impossi-
BILE to put sufficient heat in the dormi-
tories and class-rooms to make them
safe for students and teachers. The
young men became worn out in the
attempt, and, after everything which
could be thought of had been tried.
the decision to close was reached.
Though most Of the students went
home, quite a number stayed to study
and work in the different depart
ments.
The whole affair will probably cost
the Institute at least thousand dol
lars. As soon as the weather breaks
ard the reservoirs have sufficient
water for use, the students will be
notified and it is expected that most
of them will return. Plans are al
ready made for a third and larger
reservoir, in another valley, to be
built next summer, which, it is be-
lieved will give a sufficient water
supply.

Causes Of Cotton Gin Fires.

The great number of fires taking
place In the cotton gins of the south
have been generally attributed to
matches getting into the cotton either
accidentally or mallciously. but this
has been disproved by the investiga-

who have indicated the match. They
put hundreds of matches into the cot

motor fuel became more pressing the

Gay is not much over fifty degrees.
This heavy fuel readily condenses
again after IT has been vaporized and
consequently II must be quickly got
ten to the combustion. chamber after
1t leaves the carburetor. Hence. the
short and direct manifolds of today.
Almost every car owner knows that
cold is inimical TO fuel efficiency.
Cold makes gasoline heavy and less
volatile, exactly as 1t makes molasses
thick and heavy The first improve,
ment made in manifolds, was to apply
heat to them, so as to keep the gaso-
line from becoming chilled and heavy.
The obvious method of accomplishing
this was to surround the manifold
with Jacket carrying either heated
gases from the exhaust or hot water
from the jackets-s
Later on engineers found that by
boiling the carburetor directly to the
cylinder block, the short passage to
The combustion chambers would be
heated so as to assist vaporization.
This method is still largely used and
certainly contributes UNNECESSARILY to
fuel efficiency.
Another dodge that is generally
used is the fitting of the air pipe with
a movable shutter, by means of which
after the engine is hot, cold air may
be admitted so as TO give exactly the
right conditions Of maximum fuel eff
cheney.
A couple of years ago there was
fad for what are called hot spots"
This type of equipment is simply an
area OF the inlet manifold, maintained
at a high temperature. The fuel mix
ture on it's way from the carburetor,
passing over the hot spot, is warmed
and made highly volatile when 1t
passes into the combustion chambers.
This hot spot is an excellent aid for
the present debased grades of fuel, in
fact 1t is almost a necessity.
1t is a curious fact IN connection
with gasoline, that while IL is more
efficient II it is warmed, still the heat
applied must not be too great or the
volumetric efficiency OF the engine is
cut down. The nice point for the en-
gineers to determine is the exact de-
gree of heat to employ TO get the max.
imum value of the fuel. However,
with the present grades of fuel there
as no great danger that too much heat
will be applied to the manifolds and
this Is especially true in cold weather.

II is by no means a matter OF
universal knowledge that when the
brakes are applied suddenly 1.-The
pressure on the front wheels Is in
creased with a corresponding re-
duction in the pressure on the rear

This shifting is due 10 the fact
that the brakes are holding the car

Is to keep right on gniog at the same

To figure the precise yield on a bond 1t
is necessary to atse yield tables, bat the
approximate yield can roughly be figured
out By the followin9 formula. Divide
the closing quotation on bond into
the rate of interest 1t pays, and the re-
