Baking in Fireless Cooker.

How can 1 bake in my fireless
cooker" is a question that comes in
to me often. from my readers.
Today there are insulated ovens"
on the market built on the same prin-
ciple as the freless cooker: that Is.
although they are square and boxlike
inside, they also have radiators which
are heated over direct heat and then
slipped into them. with the food, the
oven door then being closed to make
the compartment alright.
In case an ordinary freleSs cooker
pail is to be used for baking. it is
best to surround 1t, on top. bottom and
sides. with heavy sheet asbestos. A
wire rack will be needed for separat-
ing the food from too direct contact
with the hot stone which lies on the
bottom of the pail: and the other hot
disc, which Is placed above the food
may be supported by an inverted wire
frying basket.
In using either the insulated oven,
or your fireless cooker pail. to bake
in, you should use this tissue-paper
test to find out whether the disc is
hot enough to bake the particular r
food you have in mind. Lay a small
piece of white tissue paper in the
middle of the disc when you put the
disc on to heat. When the paper
grows a shade darker than manila
paper Chat is. golden brown). the
disc Is hot enough to bake such
dishes as apples. potatoes. beans. seal
dings. breads. and loaf cake. But If
you want a very hot oven for such
foods as biscuits. layer cake and cup
cakes, you must wait till the tissue
paper on the disc has become a rich
brown.
The cake and biscuit in the follow
ing supper menu may be baked in
your cooker pail:

rebuilding factory, alters the entire mechanism and changes parts with similar parts of other cars of the same make. Practically a new car is turned out.
 Most practical means of identifying your car, according to those who have studied this problem, is left to the owners own ingenuity. Individual marks stamped on various parts of the chassis and engine afford the surest way of picking your own car after it has been stolen.
 Individual Marks
 Punch your initials on the fly-wheel on the inside of the aXles and other such spots not readily discernible. Then rub them with grease, so they will not be seen easily.
 Or, at a set place measured off from permanent mark, punch hole, fill it with lead and smear the spot we'll with grease. Location of this mark, if the car has been recovered after theft. would be certain proof of ownership.

Asserts New Battery Explains Advantages Is Far Cheaper Than of Ring Shape Tube Some Rebuilt Affair Over Old Style Inner

The other day a. friend dropped in and told us there was no advantage in those new ring shaped tubes, says Charley Allen. of the R. B. Krebs Auto Co. of Lowell, and he also added that three pounds of air would make any tube come out nice and round.
 Tt seems to me-" said Mir. Allen, that is a weak excuse for not mak- ing a curved shaped tube. A few pounds of air will blow tube up as big as a balloon if there isn't casing over it."
 Three pounds of air will make a hot water bottle fit your grandmoth- CTS shoe but it will take a lot of air much more than three pounds, and it will have to be very hot air, to con- vince anyone of intelligence that the difference of p inches between out side and inside circumference of 34 by 4 tire should bel stretched out of the tube instead of being built into it" 5.C5

 Just as good as a new one" is a statement often made and seldom true. The need is for the good bat tery, the standard battery of honest construction, but many battery fixers have fallen for the idea that they can build a battery as we'll, but a lot cheaper than the manufacturer who uses volume production methods and who has the pick of the market for supplies.
 The rebuilt battery" says Mir. Wright, local Willard. service station man, ''is often made of parts from dis carded batteries which have just enough more. life in them to get by the purchase date A few new parts may be added, new case and a lot of new paint. and then the sad re- frain just as good"
 The car driver who wants satis- factory battery operation is advised by Mr. Wright to go to the authorized battery service station representing a standard make of battery. He is then getting more than a battery, he gets battery with the reputation of a manufacturer who has thousands or millions of dollars invested in plant and equipment behind it.

have to depend entirely upon their sense of hearing and the functioning of the engine. They must know just what is required in the way of more or less air to proportion of gas to get maximum power, gasoline con- sumption and pleasant sensation of smooth running engine.
 Another factor complicates carbure- tor adjustment in this altitude. Any gas engine looses one horsepower per thousand feet altitude, and the atmos- pheric pressure is of vital importance, viz. the sea level atmospheric pres sure is 14.7 pounds per square inch, and Bisbee being over 5000 feet in altitude has an atmospheric pressure around 12 pounds per square inch, which is 2.7 less than the sea level. So it stands to reason that an adjust ment which would be satisfactory at sea level would be entirely too rich in this altitude. To overcome this difference the adjustment must be made leaner and the carburetor have a greater amount of air mixed with the gas.

The carburetor must function pro perly to have your car run smoothly and pleasantly on the minimum amount of gas, The first and most important thing in the engine cycle is to get the fuel into the cylinders, says Frank Thayer of Lowell: hence the carburetion system, the heart of which is the carburetor itself. No less important is the fuel used. Gasoline must be of high specific gravity, and contain few impurities before it is fit to use for an automobile.
 There are certain proportions of gas and air mixed that go to make up a perfect combustible mixture, but garages or mechanics have no means of measuring or testing to produce these correct proportions. and they

Individual Marks is Easy Way to Indentify Your Car

Could you recognize your own car, if it were stolen?
 Before answering with a positive yes" remember this:
 The professional auto thief covers up all possible traces of identifi- cation, He repaints the car, changes the serial numbers on the engine and chassis. searches out all other tell tale marks to change or abolish them, and, in fact, rebuilds the entire machine.
 What chance is there for the mo- tOrist whose ear has been stolen, to identify it? Little, say police and in surance men. They back up their claim by citing instances wherein several car owners brought to head quarters to identify their cars. picked the same automobile as their own.
