USEFUL PORTABLE LAvAToRY
Question Of Washing Hands After
Making Necessary Repairs Solved
by Cincinnati Man.

Often II happens that motorists are
obliged to stop and repair their cars
far from any available water supply.
and then II is question Of washing
their hands. Annoying. often.
But Edgar s. Curtiss Of Cincinnati
has devised portable lavatory, which.
having the outward appearance of a
suitcase. may readily be put to use In
such an emergency.
Half of II Is water tank; the other
half is basin. All that Is necessary
Is to open II and turn n tap. A small
box with water-tight lid. to contain
cake of soap. Is mounted on the
tank, which is also provided with a
spring clamp to hold towel.
Thus the motorist can wash his
hands at a moments notice, dry them,
empty the basin by unscrewing a cap
which closes the outlet and so go on
his way rejoicing.

My wideawake railroad friend,

joists were once the cnly output of a

USE SPARK PLUGS TO
STOP CYLINDER HOLE
Auto Must Have Magnetic and
Wires to Hook Onto II.

Spark plugs have been In use almost
as long as the automobile itself. They
were invented primarily to plug up the
holes in the tor of the cylinders.
That's how they came to be called
plugs. When automobiles were first
made, they had trouble with holes
forming In the tops Of the cylinders
Some cars had four holes, some had
six. and some even had eight and
twelve. 1t all depended on the car
and they never knew until after the
car was finished how many plugs II
was going to need.
Along about the time they were try
ing to find some way to effectively plug
up these holes, they found that to run
properly. car had to have a magnetic
and wires to hook onto It. Then came
the question Of what to do with the
other ends Of the wires that were
hooked onto the magnetic One day a
young inventor decided to attach the
loose ends Of the magnetic wires to the
plugs In the top Of the cylinders and
rename the plugs spark plugs. This
was done, and 1t became so popular
with automobile makers that 1t has
been the custom ever since.
Now automobile makers even go so
far as to advertise their cars by the
number of spark plugs It has. For In
stance. you hear of the "super SIX"

and the aero eIght."-Arcade News.

In the soil on plant refuse. 1t may oc-
cur in any region Of the United States,
but usually most damage Is done where
warm weather Is accompanied by high
humidity. All parts Of the plant are
attacked by the fungus, which greatly
reduces the yield and may even de-
stroy whole fields. Affected melons
bring reduced prices and may even be
unstable. They may look well when
picked, but develop the disease before
they reach the consumer unless they
are given special care and are hurried
to market.
According to Department Circular
217, Anthracnose Of Muskmelons. by
George X. X. Link and #. G. Meier,
just published by the United States
Department Of Agriculture, crop rota-
tion is the best means OF controlling
anthracnose. Muskmelons should new
er be planted on a field that has grown
a crop of anthracnose-diseased cucum-
bers, muskmelons, or watermelons the
previous year. However. the severity
Of the disease may be reduced by plant
ing disease-free seed, or by dislnfec-
tion Of seed, and by thoroughly spray
ing the vines with bordeaux mixture.

INCREASE IN AMOUNT
OF HONEY GATHERED
Many Persons Still Think Bees
Work for Nothing.
Beekeeping, to Be Profitable In Glover
Region, Must Be Conducted With
Great skill-Good Attention
Necessary.

| prepared by the United States Departmess
OF Agriculture.)
The keeping Of bees is an ancient
branch Of agriculture. yet modern bee
keeping is a new thing. Many persons
still enormously think that bees work
for nothing and board themselves, and
that to keep bees he simply gets soms
bees and allows them to roam where
they will, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The present.
day beekeeper controls the develop
ment Of the colony population SO as to
have full force of gathering bees az
the right time, and then prevents a d.
vision Of this force by swarming. By
these and other methods he greatly In
creases the amount of honey gathered
The modern skilled beekeeper finds
bees far more productive than did his
predecessors because Of his ability to
change conditions and adapt them to
the natural habits Of the bees.
While not all parts of the clover re-
gion are equally good for beekeepinS.
there are few places where 1t Is noe
possible to keep bees with profit un-
der proper management, says the de-
partment. Opportunities for beekeep-
ing In this region, however, are NOT
utilized as completely as In some other
parts Of the country. Vast areas oC
the clover region are not adequately
covered by bees, and In many places
the methods Of beekeeplng practiceA
fail to produce the best crops possible
Beekeeping to be profitable In tho
clover region must be conducted with
great skill, and there are not sum-
cient beekeepers with the right amount
Of skill to cover this territory. A
drawback to the adequate develop
ment Of the clover region lies in the
fact that there are thousands of per
sons owning few colonies Of bees
who give them little or no attention
and who get practically no honey, ana
these bees serve to occupy territory.
while II they were in the hands o.
good beekeepers they might be adding
to the nations honey supply. The
spread Of the brood diseases Is serv-
ing to change this condition, for the
number of persons owning bees In tia
clover region Is decreasing. a

ESSENTIAL HINTS
IN BATTERY CARE
Distilled Water Should Be Added
to Cells lust Before It Is
to Be Charged.

For best results, distilled water
should be added to the cells of stor-
age battery only just before II is to be
charged Gas in driving the carr. The
hydrometer readings should not be
taken until after the charging has pro-
ceeded for some time because charg-
Ing is the only means by which the
acid and water can be thoroughly
mixed. To obtain the most accurate
hydrometer readings, they should be
made when the temperature of the
electrolyte Is at 20 degrees Fahren-
heit.
Making Voltage Test.
To make voltage test of the stor-
age battery, first place 1t on discharge
for 10 or Is minutes by turning on the
lights. Using the 30-volt scale of a
voltmeter. connect the instrument
across the main terminals Of the bat
terry and the scale should register G
volts or more. Using the 3-volt scale,
connect the instrument across the ter
minals Of the individual cells and each
cell should register volts. If the
cells do not show volts each after
being charged for 10 or Is minutes,
internal trouble is indicated and such
a test Is the best means of determin-
ing whether a cell is damaged or dis
charged.
Never use an ammeter for testing a
storage battery. The ammeter Is a
low-resistance instrument and would
be burned out.
Overhaul and Clean.
II storage battery Is to be given
the proper care, II should be over
hauled and cleaned once year-this
is not an expensive operation and
guarantees large savings In the long
run. The car owner can accomplish
great deal In this connection by
keeping the top of the battery dry
and clean at all times-the terminals
should always be tight and well
creased with vaseline to prevent ex-
cessive corrosion.
To clean the top Of battery. tighten
the filler caps. and apply strong So
luton Of water and baking soda with
a brush. Allow this solution to stand
until the top Is covered with foam,
which is then removed by dashing a
cupful of clear water over it. Repeat
this entire operation until the battery
stops foaming when the solution is
applied.
1t is necessary to add water to the
cells more often in summer than dur
Ing cold weather because the higher
temperatures cause the water to evap-
crate more rapidly.
