Take on Fuel Yourself

Comparing the motor car with the
human being has become such fad
one wonders why a reverse COMPARE
son does not receive little more at
t,ntion. The driver fills the car with
water, gas and oil before he starts
the days trip, but When he steps
into the dining room he scans the
menu and decides to eat a light
breakfast" And why? Is it not just
as necessary for the driver to be as
we'll fed as the car. particularly at
the start?
Eating a light breakfast may be

If there were any assurance of a
good lunch at twelve, members of the
Rotor party could afford to econ
omze on breakfast. But good eating
places along the road are few and
far between: and the hour for the
midday meal is quite likely to run
we'll along into the afternoon. BY
that time everyone has a headache;
and what Is eaten is too much of a
lifesaver to be really enjoyed. The
party has, therefore, taken the JOY
out of two meals by trying to go
light on one of them.
Driving on an empty stomach Is
about as silly as trying to drive on an

Careless or Ignorant?

Motorists, through their motor
clubs. are to be asked to take
pledge that they will strive to be
careful. There is no doubt motorists
have to be more careful, but it is
questionable whether they can be
careful when they don't know how to
drive properly. With such a plecge
should go a set of laws requiring
every driver to give proof that he IS
capable of handling a car without
doing foolish thingG unintcntionally.
The Highway Education Bureau of
Washington evidently labors under
the delusion that accidents and COL
lisions are mainly the result of wllful
carclessness, whereas what we call
carclessness is, in most instances,
nce-msjudgment of speed
and distance. 1t is not matter OF
dcccncy, but rather one of knowl-
edge.
A lot Of drivers couldn't be careful
Ii they tried their level best: that is,
rot without first taking a course in
the art of driving car through mod
ON traffic. Before they can be care
full most motorists must be educated
to modern driving requirements.
An effective pledge would be an
q agreement to spend a week learning
2Sain how to drive a car When a

locomotive he gets fired if he causes

they simply decide that
he's careless. The pity of it is that
lie comes to bclic"e them: and all his
efforts to be careful arc in vain, be-

tits an insulator." Most Of us
have heard certain materials des-
crbcd in that way so often that we
lave formed the idea that insula ting
materials make up a definite class
like minerals, or vegetables, or
metals. The fact is that insulating
value is relativc-just as weight or
temperature are relative.
Every material has weight. We
may also say. by taking some liber-
ties, that it has "lightness." In ex-
actly the same sense, every material
is both an insulator and con-
ductor. If it is a good conductor it
is a poor insulator; if a good in
sulator it is poor conductor.
Take a look at the insulating ma
terials and you'll see that they are
all extremely poor conductors. The

Mr.. Libby Makes Statement

November i, 1927
Tc the editor:
There appeared in the Kennebcc
Journal of October eth an article
which processes to trace the history
OF the National Council for Reduce
ton of Armaments from its incep-
ton to the present time
This article is false either in fact
or in implication. 1, therefore, ask
YOU to print the following correct
statement of the inception and his
tory" of this organization and its re-
lation to the peace movement as a
whole
The first organization of the peace
movement in America was the forma-
ton of the American Peace Society
i'll 1928. In 1891 America was rep
resented at one of the earliest inter-
national peace conferences at Berne.
The Carnegie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace was founded in 1910.
So much for the statement in the
article in your paper that the peace
movement was started in America
lin 1914 by Rosika Schwimmer"
OF the organizations now working
for other purposes, a great majority
began work for peace following the
world war and in direct connection
with the Washington Conference for
Limitation of Armaments.
The only woman's peace organiza-
ton formed in connection with the
world war was the Woman's Inter
national League for Peace and Free
dom formed in 1914. following a
visit not Of Rosika Schwimmer but
OF Mrs. Pethick Lawrence Of Eng
land to this country.
The National Council for Reduc-
ton Of Armaments was organized as
fellows:
International Conference on Limita-
ton of Armaments the Foreign Poll
cy Association invited all national
organizations interested in the prob
lem of limitation of ornaments, to
meet in Washington and discuss
methods OF cooperation.
Seventeen national organizations
met here Sept. 2sth. 1921. All of
these organizations, except the Ma
tional Grange. are now members Of
the Council. Many others have been
added. On October goth the Nation
al Council for Limitation of Arma-
ments was permanently organized
and declared its purpose to be as fol-
lows:
ITO unite and make articulate
through the member organizations
the overwhelming sentiment OF the
people Of the United States in favor
OF reduction Of ornaments"
On January 18th the Council un-
animously voted to continue its
work after the close of the Washing
ton Conference and adopted "the
substitution Of law for war" as it's
ultimate goal. On Oct 31st, 1922
the name of the Council was changed
to the National Council for Proven
ton Of War;" in order to more per-
fectly express this purpose.

the porcelain tubes used on a job of
house wiring. the rubber that en-
closes practically all wires are the
worst conductors in the world-and
therefore the best insulators.
From this you can see that some
ingenuity had to be exercised to find
a material that was a good electrical
insulator and would permit the bat
tory solution to pass through all at
the same time--yet this is exactly
what the insulation in battery has
to do. 1t has to insulate the plates
of the battery from each other just
a.: the rubber sheath on a wire in
sulates it from the steel frame of the
car In addition it has to permit
chemical action to go on freely from
plate to plate. Moreover, battery in
sulation has to be hard to withstand
shocks, jolts and vibration, it has to
be able to stand long immersion in
strong acid, and it has to be easily
worked. plentiful enough to insure
constant supply, and of uniform
quality,
Under the carly experiments. wood
won first place. 1t was porous, which
meant that it allowed free passage
of battery solution without loss Of
insulating value, and it was easily
obtainablc. But it wasn't entirely
Uniform, nor was it easy to prepare
for use.
What could be more natural than
search to find some artificial
product that would keep the merits
CT wood and avoid its shortcomings.
Inventors turned to rubbcr-the uni
versal insulating material-with the
hope that by one means or another.
il could be made porous.
