REV LAMAR FIELD SECRETARY

Spartanburg, Feb. 17.-Rev. c.
R. Lamar, well-known Methodist
minister from Alabama, has been
employed by the South Carolina
State Sunday School Association as
one of its field secretaries Under
the direction of General Superin-
endent Leon C. Palmer, and begins
work this week. He will have special
charge of the campaign of Sunday
School Evangelism now being con-
Quoted by the Association, the pur-
pose of which is "to promote the
spirit of evangelism in every Sun
day School of every denomination
in South Carolina" \
DR.. Lamar is a native Alabamian,
although some of his ancestors came
from South Carolina. After filling
several important appointments in
the Alabama Conference, he went
West and became presiding elder of
the San Francisco district, and later
of the Houston, Texas, district. Last
year he was associated with Rev.
Bob Jones and Leon C. Palmer in
the statewide Sunday School evan
geEsrn campaign of the Alabama
Sunday School Association, in which
all denominations took part. He is
an ardent believer in evangelism, in
the Sunday School, and in the State
School Association It is
probable that he may visit this coun-
ty at an early date.

AUTO THAT ACTUALLY JUMPS
Principle That Actuates the
Knee of the Athlete.

The jumping stunts of automobiles
in the movies are the result of trick
photographs. There has been produced
in France light car that does many
of these spectacular performances, not
only pictorially, but actually, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. 1t is a
small, light car with a speed of %
miles an hour. The particular feature
that enables the car to negotiate all
obstacles with impunity is the manner
of connecting the car to the rear
wheels. 1t has been compared with
the action of the human knee. A
jumper bends his legs at the knees,
straightens them out rapidly to get the
effect of a spring. The rear wheels
do the same thing. On striking an
obstacle the wheels rise independently
of the rest of the car, which remains
horizontal. Under test, when driven
against an obstacle 40 inches high,
with an approach sloping at 40 de-
grees, the car was lifted 10 a height
of 81 inches and landed at a distance
of 20 feet, all four wheels striking the
ground simultaneously. On landing,
the spring in the wheel connection
cushions the conclusion of the wheel
with the ground, again resembling the
action of a jumpers knee, which
bends under him as he alights.

The upper end of the rod is bent in
curve, so that the metal ball at
tached to its extremity by u short
chain may bangle directly above the
middle of the cup-shaped bell.
The movement of the automobile
keeps the metal bali constantly swing
ing TO and fro. But 1t cannot strike
the sides of the bell until the lower

It to descend to certain point, which
may be determined beforehand by add
justment of the float
Therefore, when the driver hears
the bell ringing it warns him that he
has got only just so much gasoline
left. And the bell, having started,
keeps on ringing and demanding at
tention to the emergency.

there is room for improvement in his

FATHER or MODERN NOVELIST
Minstrel, Centuries Ago, Held Audi
ences Very Much as Does the
Writer of Today.

The old tale tellers. the Ministries,
the palmers the frinrs, the pedlers,
were the remote ancestors of the nov
elst of today, The minstrel supplied
social need in his day. He was a
circulating library when, as yet, there
was no circle of readers, and besides
being the medieval novelist, he was
the medieval publisher. AS he drew
his bow across his viol or swept the
strings of his harp, and prayed audi
ence for some romance of chtvalry,
the boastings and chickering's of the
common hall were silenced, and the
rude roar of the market place was
hushed.
BY the end of the Eleventh cen
fury something more was wanted, and
the literary craftsman of the Twelfth,
Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries
wove his romances of chivalry to meet
the needs of society. These romances
violated every canon of literary art,
but 1t was not as literature that he
looked at them-rather as a gorgeous
tapestry set in the framework of chv
airy. The influence these stories ex-
ercised on the national life of Eng
land was prodigious, and of the three
groups into which they fell-the mat
ter of Britain and the matter of Rome
the Great-the most popular belonged
to the second. Dealing with the story
of King Arthur and the Round Ia
Bile, Lord Ernie once said it was prob
ably partly patriotism and partly re-
lision which made Sir Thomas Nal
lory choose this group of the medieval
romances of chivalry. Partly, also, 1t
was a true instinct of literary genius,
for this was the one group which had
in it the enduring elements of vitality.
That group alone gave us the inward
and spiritual meanings, the capacity
for allegorical Interpretation, the mys-
teal symbolisms which were living,
lasting influences, because successive
generations could appropriate them to
their own needs and circumstances

Much has been written about the
difficulties of carburetion under nor

but the difficulties are even greater in
the case of engines that have been

Some of the common complaints are

inability to throttle to IA low speed

Air-leaks diluting the gasoline va

One OF the most uncomfortable
things in the world is suddenly to dis.
cover, when ore is motoring far from
a supply station, that the gasoline
tank is empty or nearly so. Every au-
tomobile driver meets with an adj
venture of this sort at one time or an
other.
There ought surely to be some CON
trivance that would give timely ad-
vance warning to the motorist of such
a happening.
A device newly patented by William
Crab of Waterville, o., performs this
useful duty admirably. 1t is very sim
