pledge of allegiance, and the Star

the children witnessed the splendid
drilling exercises of the eighth grade

REACTION Time HARD
QUESTION FOR OWNER
Driver Should Know Value of His
Personal Equation
Interval Elapsing Between Instant
Sign or Signal is Given and Neces-
sary Action Started Ia Cause
Of Many Accidents.

"What Is your reaction time or do
you know the value Of your personal
equation"
This has been suggested as a pos
sible question to be put to applicants
for motor vehicle drivers license, ac-
cording to the bureau of public roads
of the Department of Agriculture. Re
action time is the interval of time
that elapses between the instant u
sign or signal is seen and the neces-
sary action started. A driver starts
to pass another vehicle when sudden
ly third vehicle appears which may
block his path. The driver must de-
eide whether to pass the vehicle or
drop back. If his reaction time Is
slow he may not realize the danger
until too late to avert an accident.
Every astronomer who observes
when star crosses hair line in his
telescope and presses a key so that
the time may be electrically recorded
knows that he does not observe the
fact and press the key at the same
time. A correction has to be made
which has been carefully determined
and is called his personal equation.
1t varies with different people.
Timers of a foot race with split
second watches will frequently get
different results for the time Of the
race.
The reaction time Of some people
Is very slow and undoubtedly is the
cause Of many accidents. Does the
public safety require that such people
be denied drivers licenses? The
Bureau of Public Roads Is not yet
ready to advocate such policy, but
considers that 1t should be Investigated
as possible safety measure.

Improves Faulty Engine.

This expedient Is particularly ef-
fective In improving the running of
a faulty engine at low speed because
the series of sparks occur when the
engine is operating on practically n
closed throttle.
The coil is mounted so that the bot.
tom contact Is grounded on the frame
Of the car or the engine and a wire
Is carried from the lower contact to
the top Of the distributor. The coil
wire OF the circuit breaker connects
with the upper contact, and the other
wiring from circuit breaker to switch
and to battery remains unchanged.
Since vibrating coil costs little, 1t
is possible to try out this device with
out much expense. Installations that
have been used have given such salts
factory results that 1t may be conclud-
ed that used car fitted with. vi
brating coil is given new life not
possible even by entirely renewing Its
single spark type Of ignition system

Addition Of Vibrating Device
Sometimes Overcomes Diff
cuIties in Battery.
STREAM OF SPARKS STARTED
Arrangement Is Particularly Effective
In Improving Running Of Faulty
Engine at Low Speed-Ex-
pense Is Small.

The addition of a vibrating coil will
sometimes remedy serious difficulties
in an ordinary battery ignition system.
Such system supplies a single spark
and when the ignition, carburization,
cylinders, and valves are in first-class
condition, that is sufficient. When,
however, the ignition coil breaks down,
the ignition mechanism and the car
justment, and the cylinders, valves or
valve stems leak, a succession Of sparks
is apt to improve the running to a
marked degree.

Wood communicated with former
