Leads TO Neglect.
Many men who, II they had to
start their cars by hand. would see
that these things were in efficient
order. let them get out of trim when
they have a starter. The adjust

carburetor and the Ignition. to in

Just as essential when an electric

point were attended to. danger o.

and damage to storage cells. short
circuitinG ana burning of fields and
armatures and other grievous
trouble would be minimized or
eliminated.
The other vital points in proper
upkeep. If adjustments and repairs
are to be avoided, may be classed
az follows:
Loose terminals are a source Of
very considerable foss of efficiency
setting up great resistance which
woefully affects the operation OF
the outfit.
Eqully important is q to keep
the terminals clean. Clean metallic
contacts over a big area are the
things to aim at, and this should
be so throughout the system. in
Guiding the terminals OF the battery,
the starter. the dynamo. the
switches, and the cutout gear. The
battery terminals should never be
allowed to corrode. Pure vaseIine
well smeared on after cleaning and
tightening, will effect an enormous
saving in current and in freedom
from breakdowns.
Care of Leads.
The leads should be insulated en-
tirely and thoroughly from point to
point. Leads which swing and sag,
wear, and shorts" occur. which
soon cause the system to break
down. These should be avoided by
generous tapping with insulating
tape and properly stapling up with
good protective staples or clips.
OH should not be allowed to collect
OF the leads. This is important
where the leads run near the en-
gine.
The dynamo and starter should
be protected from dust and dirt.
wet and grit. These play havoc
with the bearings and brushes and
lead to endless trouble. Proper
fabrication Of the bearings with
packed grease, proper protection for
the brush and Commutator gear and
occasional cleaning will mean eff
cheney and freedom from break
down.
Bearings which are allowed to
wear through lack Of fabrication
will cause bad brush contact, worn
commutator rings, knocking and
heated armatures. etc.
A heated armature leads to low
electric efficiency in both starter
and dynamo, and must always be
avoided by careful attention to
| these points. Electrical cutouts
should be protected against dirt.

FMMELINE is another of the fem

discussed. But Emmeline, which has
often been enormously confused as
deriyative of Emma, has, an interest
ing history. The name, which is
translated to- mean ''work serpent,

means grandmother. p,
= Emmeline came \ into existence
through the queens of Navarro and

the Cid was so called but the French
turned her into Chimene. The English
promptly called this strange name
Emmeline, and even France now has
an Emeline. The form Emylyn, which
appears in old ballad poetry, is iden-
stical with Emmel inc.

SHREK PSYCHOLOGY

In spite Of fefninism's stand for that
equality Of the sexes that will elimi-
nate peculiar traits of-distinction, the
feminine shrek still retains it's pres
tige as a matchless weapon of defense.
says the Norfolk Virginian-Pi The
days news reports chronicle two nota-
bic victories for the Shrek feminine.
A woman paymaster in New Jersey,
when held up and robbed by four bad
men while some hundred or more male
onlookers stood paralyzed in the pres
ence Of menacing automatics, emitted
a blood-curdling Shrek that imme-
diately produced action. The stickup
men dropped their loot and took to
their heels. In another part of the
same state, woman clerk, carrying
pay roll from bank, was attacked by
would-be robbers. BY her shrieks she
threw them into confusion and put
them to rout. These two examples of
shrek effectiveness are nothing I'M
usual. Every day, instances of bur
glars foiled by screaming women or
robbers put to flight by shrieking vic
tins are recorded. The psychology Of
the shrek as weapon of defense is
simple. It is based on the historical
relationship between the sexes that
has come down from ages when
woman's Shrek was a battle call to all
gallant males in hearing Hence it's
demoralizing effect on those against
whom it is raised. The piercing scream

hood and sends even a coward flying
to give relief. That, at least, is our
theory Of the shrieks effectiveness IF
any one knows Of a better theory let
him go to it.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"SABOTAGE"

THE spread of strikes and the
resultant efforts of certain
dissatisfied elements to cripple
industry in every way possible
brought into use the French
word sabotage" in such a way
that it may be said to have ..
been Anglicized, much as
valet" ''barrage," "ballet" and
"camouhage" have been Angli-
ciZed.
BY Sabotage" as currently
used, is understood the act of
producing poor work or other
damage either to machinery or
to the good will of some COM
mercial organization. The work
man who is deliberately careless,
in the manufacture of some ar
ticle, is as guilty of sabotage as
is the workman who wrecks the
machine itself-for both of them
tend to injure the company for
which they are working, either
in it's reputation or in it's opera
ton.
In it's original French sense
the word was a harmless one,
entirely unconnected with crime
of any kind, and meaning the
cutting Of shoes or sockets for
rails in railroad ties, "sabot" be-
ing French for wooden Shoes"
During the strikes which par
alyZed internal commerce \in
France toward the end of the
last century, many Of the strik-
ers tore up the railroad tracks
or loosaned the shoe so that. the
rails spread, thus giving the
word it's new application and
the significance under which it
has slipped into the language on
this side of the Atlantic.
