NURSERY WORKERS
 CALL FUR K|DD|ES
 THEN RETURN THEM

Calling for and delivering children is a new idea put in practice by the members of the Junior Guild Day nursery this past week. Workers in this organization found several fam lilies on the south side of the city where children needed care and at tention throughout the day but where the mothers were not in a position to take them to the day nursery. So a system was inaugurated where by members of the Junior guild take turns in calling for these little ones in the morning and returning them in the evening.
 Although the day nursery was or

Most iapses from the golden rule
of courtesy are due to thoughtless-

tomobile driving are q bad combina-

Those who expect courtesy should
themselves be courteous, Every

occasion upon which he could
courteously slow down and allow

some streets so frequented during

SPARK PLUGS Are
VITAL TO OWNERS
Intermittent Misfire May Be
Due to Loose Con-
nection.

The spark plug Is the business end
of the electrical system: for regard
less of how well every other part
of the ignition system may he work
ing. a spark will not occur in the
cylinders IL the plugs are out of
order. Whenever the ignition OF
one or more cylinders fails. the
spark plugs should be the first to
be suspected. Usually. when mis-
firing takes place in one cylinder,
especially II the misfire is regular.
1t is generally the plug which is at
fault. An intermitten misfire may
be due to a loose terminal connec-
ton, a broken wire, or to a valve
not closing tightly.
The spark plugs in general use
aIe of two types: The separable
plug, in which the core of insulation
can be removed; and the integral or
one-piece plug. The separaple type
OF plug has tendency to leak COM
preston: therefore 1t should have
good gaskets and should be drawn
up tightely. This condition is alb
sent In the integral plug; but il
is more difficult to clean.
The best position for the spark
plugs is over the inlet valves; for
then they will always be kept cool
by the incoming gas and will al
ways be surrounded by fresh
mixture. II placed over the CEN
ter Of the plstons, the plugs win
have tendency to easily foul.
II placed over the exhaust valves
besides tendency to foul. there is
an additional tendency to misfire
due to a Certain amount of exhaust
gas which will always surround the
plugs.

PUNCTURE WEEDS

Tscks. rusty nails. glass ana sharp
stones are no longer the only things
to be dreaded by those who ride on
pneumatic tires. According to gov
eminent report. motorists and bicy-
clists will soon be wssing as Vigorous

principally in Arizona and Southern
California. but II Is spreading so
rapidly that a nationwide investiga-
ton is being conducted by experts
of the U. S. Department OF AgricuI-
ture. The pest was originally a ma
tive Of Europe and was brought TO
this country on the fleece OF sheep.
The seeds which cause all the
trouble are many-pronged and meas
ure from a quarter to a hslf-inch In
diameter. They have a way OF stick
ing to any pneumatic tire which rolls
over them. and sooner or later cause
grief to the motorist. OF course they
have difficulty in working their way
through the fabric Of thick. new tires.
but they often do; and worn tire
is liable TO be pierced in many places.
One tire. according to the government
investigators, was found punctured in
seventy places by these tiny burrs.
In California one-half the bicycle tire
punctures are caused in this way.
Tire men say a large percentage OF
automobile tire trouble in sections
where the pest is prevalent is also
to be attributed to the puncture weed.
Even though they do not puncture
the tire when they stick to IL. the
burrs of the puncture plant are
spread most rapidly by this means.
After rolling along for miles and
miles. they at length become dislodged
and take root i'm new territory. pro-
ducing myriad spiny seeds to add to
next years punctures.

Q. The other evening when at
tempting to move my car from a
grassy parking space, 1t being wet
and slippery. the wheels spun
rapidly and had an awful tins
getting under way. Is there any
way to handle situations of this
character?
A. Chains. of course, solve the
problem. Letting some of the air
out of the rear tires will increase
the traction surface and probably
aid you to get started
Q. Is there any special adjust
ment on tire chains and how would
order chains for a Buick?
A. Yes, chains should be adjusted
so that cross chains are loose enough
to change their position each time
they revolve. This play prevents
tire wear. Order chains for the size
tire that you use.
Q. I've been in the habit of using
both foot and emergency brakes
Some one told me II wasn't good
practice. Why isn't IL,
A. car should always be
Unanswered SO as to use brakes the
amount VI tirut. An
emergency should only be used for
emergency work or while car is
parked. Using both foot and emer-
gency brakes simultaneously will
tend to wear both bands smooth at
the same time. Some day an emer-
sency will nnd you without any
brakes
Q. After skidding experience
the other day I was advised not to
disengage clutch when applying
brakes on a wet day. How does
this help to prevent skidding?
A. When you suddenly apply
brakes while on a slippery surface
the wheels quickly come to a stop
and the tire then slides or skids,
much as a rubber heel acts when
engaging on oily surface. Allowing
the clutch to remain engaged keeps
the wheels in motion the maximum
amount of time. thereby presenting
a new surface at all times.
Q. Is 1t practical to let air out

A. Decidedly not The tires

Thermal Efficiency.

thermal efficiency may be defined
as the ratio of the rate at which
mechanical energy is delivered to
the piston by the working media
to the mechanical equivalent Of the
rate at which thermal energy Is
supplied to the motor by the fuel
used. In other words, 1t is the indi-
Gated efficiency. The heat absorbed
by the cooling system will vary
from one-third to one-half, and in
some cases more than one-half OF
the total amount of heat or power
contained in the fuel. This heat. of
course, Is lost, as 1t is not converted
into energy. and thus reduces the
thermal efficiency of the engine.
By introducing water which may be
assumed as being generated into
steam, the internal pressure il in
creased. and through this some ad-
ditional energy Is obtained.
The heat developed will. of
course. vary greatly. due to. the
fexibility of the engine. and may
be said to be directly dependent
upon the amount OF fuel burned
Will the rate of cooling depends
upon the speed OF operation.

The Effect on Moisture.

1t is generally conceded that a
small amount of moisture produces
a beneficial effect upon the mixture
under certain conditions, such as
when the throttle Is wide open.
Every motorist is aware that when
driving a car from a dry atmos-
phere to the most aid adjacent to
a body Of water. or In the evening
dew, power is slightly increased.
The theory advanced for this, in
crease of power Is that the water
decomposes into its elemental con-
stituents, hydrogen and oxygen. and
that the oxygen thus liberated COM
bines with the carbon in the fuel,
thus producing greater power. This
would increase the volume of gas
entering the cylinder because Of its
lower temperature, but should have
little effect upon the quality of the
mixture.

MUST MARK CLOSED CON

Of Fruits and Vegetables Sent To
Market

Market
The farmers, and shippers of fruit
and vegetables, who pack produce in
closed containers for market. are
again warned in a letter recently sent
out from the State Department of
Weighs and Measures to all growers
associations and oranges throughout
New Jersey, that they must comply
with the law requiring that such con-
tanners be marked with the name and
address Of the packer.
Since this Act (Chapter 223, PIN.
j., 1920 was passed, there have been
numerous prosecutions for violations.
particularly in the southern part Of
The State where shipping is extensive.
The marking law requires that all
fruit and vegetable packed in crates,
covered baskets or carriers, for the
purpose Of selling, offering or expos
ng for sale so packed, shall have
plainly and conspicuously marked OF
stamped, in letters not less than three
quarters Of an inch in size, on the out
side or top of said crates, baskets or
carriers, the name and address Of the
packer; 1t has for its object, honesty
in shipments of commodities in closed

and topping were so generally en-
ployed by unscrupulous shippers that
the reputation of New Jersey for fine
produce and honest weight and meas
ure was rapidly being impaired, and
before this law went into effect there
was no way to trace the offenders.
The law applies to all goods specified
in the act whether they are to be sold
within or out of the State, and as it
thoroughly protects honest shippers
who take pride in the produce they
ship from New Jersey, it is the pur-
pose of the Department to enforce
this act to the letter
State Superintendent Wanser has
ruled that the crates, covered baskets
and containers can be stenciled or
stamped, or labels can be tackled or
pasted on same; in the case of pota-
toes in bags or sacks, a pasteboard
tag firmly affixed to the bag will
suffice.
