TIME MASTERS

THE gentleman who comes into
= your office, when he knows you
are busy, and sits down for a friend
ly little chat, must be got rid of.
If he is intelligent, you can get
rid of him without hurting his feelings.
IL he is stupid, it will be necessary
to hurt his feelings.
But get rid of him you must,
whether his feelings are hurt or not.
Efficiency experts could figure, no
doubt, that many thousands of work
ing hours go to waste every year be-
cause busy people are too good ma
tured to invite idlers to get out Of
their offices.
Most of the precautions taken by the
"hard to get to" business men are net
due to their haughtiness, but to their
knowledge of the value of time.
If every small business man could
surround himself with inner and outer
guards, to keep pests from bothering
him, he might soon cease to be a small
business man, and become a big one.
In most offices the clerical force
and the general employees are not to
be s'xn during business hours. 1t re-
quires very intrusive person to get
by tie boys at the gate.
Rtt the boss or the manager has
alwsys some friend he hates to Of
fend who will drop in during busi-
ness hours, and consume several dol
lars worth of time without blush.
The victim of these gentlemen would
far rather they would come to his
house unlimited. and consume his
food unlimited, than to come unlimited
to his Office, and consume his most
valuable commodity which is time

who will lean back in your chair and

DARWINIAN THEORY

XXTE ARE reading great deal
" these days about the Darwinian
theory. The newspapers tell us that
Kentucky, famed for its blue grass, Its
blOOded horses, beautiful women and
chivalrOus men, is deep in the study
of its involved perpleXities.
All the way from school houses
to the Kentucky senate, the ques-
ton of mans relationship with monkey
Is being discussed with fervOr.
The world is pricking up its ears,
arching it's eyebrows and looking
askance upon the creatures, who, ac-
cording to the Scriptures, were created
In Gods image.
Just how will all this controversy
benefit you and me?

women, elevate our minds to high
Ter sphere and give us greater power
for usefulness?
Power gravitates to those who can
use il, not to the wavering nor the
weak. 1t belongs to those who have
faith, who believe as a child and ac-
cept biblical statements without ques-
ton.

Let us not go out Of our way TO seek

forever battle human understanding.
There is more joy in the sunshine,
more happiness in useful effort, more
pleasure in the acceptance of exist
ence as 1t is, more delight in self-ab-
negatiOn, and in doing good to others,
than in the painstaking avoidance Of
childish faith.
1t is not for us to become craZed
about friSky monkeys, nor for us TO
try TO make monkeys of ourselves.
But ii Is for us to work, to think
good thoughts, TO put unbelief and
doubt far behind us and make our
selves more worthy of the infinite love,
the only anchor which will hold secure
In this life and In the life to come.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PIN-MONEY"

DURING the Sixteenth and
~ Seventeenth centuries pins
were 50 extremely expensive
that only the wealthy could af-
ford them. BY a curious law,
the manufacturers of pins were
permitted to sell them on only
two days each year-January l
and 2-and when those days
came around the women whose
husbands could afford the eX-
penditure secured 'pin-mOney"
from them for their purchases.
While SavageS have, for ages,
used thorns and splinterS for
the purpose of joining bits OF
hide or making garments of
leaves. pinS-aS we know them
today-did not come into use
until the early part of the Four
teenth century. They were in
trOduced into England in 1910
but IL was not until 1924 that
an American named Might in
vented n machine for manufac-
turing pins very rapidly, and
now more than 100 tons of
iron and brass are annually con-
verified into pins in the United
States alone, a condition which
renders entirely obsolete the
original meaning of the phrase
pin money which, however,
still persists as a synonym for
IAN allowance given by a hus-
band to a wife TO cover her per-
sonal expenses"

MUFFLER IS NOT

Cleaning Up Process Is Over

INCREASES USE OF GASOLINE
Very important Part OF Automobile
Is Located Under Car and Out of
Sight, and Is Rarely Given
Attention Needed.

One Of the parts Of an automobile
most neglected by many owners and
drivers is the muller. As boy with
a dirty face puts off the cleaning up
process just as long as possible, so
the mOtorist with a muller that needs
attention prOcraStinates and thinks
perhaps he will fix 1t up tomorrow.
And tomorrow never comes. But to-
day is always here with its greater
use of gasoline ana various other COM
plicatiOns that a dirty muller causes.
The muller is located under the car,
and being out of sight is usually out
of mind. Ii is therefore often neg
lected or miSuSed. And yet ii ought
not to be- The muller is placed on
the end of the exhaust pipe of the en-
CINE so that the driver of an automO-
bile while taking pleasure himself
does not wholly deprive others of it.
Let us consider the use of the muf-
fer. The exhaust valve opens while
the burned gas is still under a pres
sure of from % TO 30 pounds per
square inch. If this were exhausted
directly into the air the resulting
noise would stifle conversation in the
car, annoy everybody along the street
and quickly get the driver into trouble
with the police. The muller prevents
all this. 1t provides a chamber in which
these exhaust gases may expand and
cool somewhat and at the same time
breaks up the pressure by allowing it
to leak out slowly through a number of
very small holes, instead of letting it
loose in one "big noise"

The Cutoff" Valve.

In the early history of the autOmo-
bile mufflers were not used and every
body for blocks around knew when an
auto was coming. As the automobiles
increased in number this became q
nuisance and was stopped by law.
Then they sought, indeed had been
seeking, a means of sitting the sound.
In the early muffler there was trouble
because the gas would back up in the
cylinder and decrease the power of
the motor. 1t was thought there was
no way to decrease the sound without
decreasing the power; therefore the
manufacturers devised a valve to "cut
OUT the mufflar on the car whenever
extra power was desired.
Sometimes the back pressure was so
great as to interfere when driving
through heavy roads or up hills The
"cut out" let the gas exhaust directly
into the air instead of going through
the muffler. At the present time near
ly every city has law prohibiting the
use Of "cut outs"
The average driver does not know
that his muffier needs as careful at
tention as any other part OF the mech
anism, and so he neglects II. In these
days Of nOiseless cars IL requires a
great number Of very small holes in
side muffler. These become clogged
with SCOT or carbon from the exhaust.
The deposit collects very rapidly,
especially when the grade of oil used
is poor or too much oil Is used. 1t
also results when the carburetOr is

There is not a full charge to explode,
and this means loss of power to the
engine.
Cases are known where the throttle
was opened wide without any increase
In power. Trying 10 find out what the
matter was, the driver opened the 'cut
