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

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. It all depended on the car,
and they never knew untn after the
car was finished how many plugs 1t
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 rum
properly, a car had to have 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 It has
been the custom ever since.
Now automobile makers even go 50
far as to advertise their cars by the
number Of spark plugs it has. For m
stance, you hear Of the super six"

and the aero ght-"-Arcade News.

USEFUL PORTABLE LAvAT0RY
Question Of Washing Hands After
Making Necessary Repairs Solved
by Cincinnati Man.

Often it happens that motorists are
obliged. to stop and repair their cars
far from any available water supply,
and then 1t is question Of washing
their hands. Annoying. often.
: But Edgar s. Curtiss of Cincinnati
has devised portable lavatorys which.
having the outward appearance Of a
suitcase, may readily be put to use in
such an emergency.
Half of it is water tank; the other
half is basin, All that is necessary
Is to open it ana turn tap. A small
box with a waterltight lid, to contain
cake Of soap, is mounted on the
tank, which Is also provided with a
spring clamp to hold a towel.
Thus the motorist can wash his
hands at moments notice, dry them,
empty the basin by unscrewing cap
which closes the outlet and so gos on
his way rejoicing.

ESSENTIAL HINTS
IN BATTERY CARE.
Distilled Water Should Be Added
TO Cells lust Before 1t Is
to Be Charged.

For best results, distilled water
should be added to the cells of a stor-
age battery only just before it is to be
charged Gas in driving the cary. 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 stori
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 6
volts or more. Using the 3-volt scale,
connect the instrument across the fer
minals Of the individual cells and each
cell should register 2 volts. If the
cells do not show 2 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 n.
Never use an ammeter for testing
storage battery. The ammeter is a
iow-resistance. instrument and would
be burned out.
Overhaul and Clean.
II storage battery is to be given
the proper care. it should be over
hauled and cleaned once syear-this
is not an expensive operation and
guarantees large savings in the long
run. The car owner can accomplish
a great deal In this connection by
keeping the top Of the battery dry
and clean at all times-t the terminals
should always be tight and well
creased with vaseline to prevent ex-
cessive corrosion.
To clean the top of a battery, tighten
the nller caps, and apply q strong so
tuition of water and baking soda with
brush. Allow this solution to stand
until the top is covered with foam.
which is then removed by dashing
cupfuI 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.

COST OF MARKETING
HOGS IN CORN BELT
About One Third Of Total ls.Ter-
minaI' Charges.
Gripping Loss Found Heavier In Mo-
vember to March Than in Other
Months-Seasonal Variation
Found in ShrinIase.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
About One-third Of the total cost of
marketing hogs by cooperative ship
ping associations consists az terminal
charges, such as commission, yardage
and feed, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has learned in
cost of marketing study in the corn
belt. Commission comprised about so
percent of the terminal charges, yard
age about 26 per cent and feed %
per cent. On the average the ter
minal costs at all markets for straight
shipments ranged from $1.50 to 1928
per 1000 pounds, the average, being
about $1.90 per 1000 pounds. BY in
dividual associations the lowest cost
was $1.55 and the highest cost was
$2.6S.
Losses from crippling were found
to be heavier in November to March,
inclusive, than during other months Of
the year. The loss on account Of
killed hogs was found to be greater
in the spring months. particularly May
and June, than in other months. Both
crippled and dead hogs were more nu-
>merous in mixed shipments than In
straight shipments.
A seasonal variation In shrinkags
was also found, the highest percent
age or shrinkage occurring in August
From July to October. inclusive,
shrinkage is greater than from Mo-
vember to March. Although mixed
shipments showed greater shrinkage
than straight shipments, the depart
ment points out that this may simply
indicate that the organizations ship
ping mixed cars were not as efficient
as others, or was due to- the type Of
animal usually shipped in mixed cars.
The study consisted OF data collect
ed from 237 live stock shipping assO.
Citations in the ten Middle Western
states, which shipped more than 600,-
600 hogs in 1921. The carload. or

HARDEST OF LEGUME CROPS
Given Right Soil Sweet Clover viii
Thrive Almost Any,Hhere-crop
Makes Good Feed.

Sweet clover is considered the har-
diest of the legume crops. Given a
sweet soil, it will grow almost any
where. 1t is particularly desirable
for redeeming fields which have been
badly washed, and are not in condi-
ton for other crops. Sweet clover
quickly puts field in shape for al
falfa by loosening and inoculating the
soil. tl
This crop makes good feed If cut
before the stems are too mature. 1t
yields heavily, even on thin soil. Like
all legume crops it's big help in en-
riching the soil. The farmer who
wants to improve his soil, ana expects
to do 1t with legume crops, will do
well to include sweet clover

A closer organization In the sugar

to a criminal manipulation" of the
market.
Some of the hard-pressed and
gouged people of the cities" said the
statement, ''are thinking that the
farmer is sharing in the proceeds of

past season has long since been mar
keted and the supplies are in the hands
of men who never grew al ounce of

There is something radically wrong
with an economic system that per-

hundred million American people. The
remedy for such situations as have
been created by the uncOnscionable
manipulatOrS is not far 10 seek. II is
quite possible to so organize that we
will be able to refine our own sugar

can stabilize the sugar market Just
as we have stabilized the cotton mar

market. We can do il by being our
own salesman, our own middle man
and our own financier.

The letters refer to an alleged
