MUFFLER WORTHY
Of PROPER CARE
Device Has Distinct and Benefi-
cial Purpose and Should be
Kept Clean.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering.)
Tucked away back under the car,
where 1t is out Of sight and out Of
mind, the muftier LIS usually the most
neglected part Of the car. Indeed, 1t
Is "cut out" altogether by many just
as soon as the traffic cop is left be-
hind 1t should not be so. The muf-
fer has a distinct and beneficial pur-
pose and is worthy of careful re-
gard. Without 1t there would be no
pleasure in riding and the pedestrian
and dweller by the roadside would
need pads on their ears. Those who
can remember the days before muf-
flers were required on cars will bear
witness to the necessity.
How Muffier Works.
This is why: In the operation of
the engine the exhaust valve opens
while the burned gas is yet under
pressure Of 25 to 30 pounds square
inch. Let directly into the air it
would .knock hole in 1t" and the
report would be deafening. There
would be , no talking In the car or
It's vicinity. The muf1er provides
chamber, where the exhaust gases
may expand and likewise cool,
thereby lessening the pressure. and
by permitting the gases to pass OF
slowly through multiplicity of small
passages the exhaust reaches the
air quietly, instead Of with rush
and 'big noise"
Clogging Of the muffler and back
pressure of upescaped gas prevent
the cylinders from being emptied Of
burned gases. This prevents draw
ing in full charge of mix
ture on the intake stroke, the ex-
plosion is weak and power lessened.
It would be possible to SO clog the
exhaust that the throttle would be
useless; opening 1t would have no
effect. Likewise in starting, the first
explosions would choke the exhaust,
there would be sputter and the en-
CINE would stop because 80 little
fresh mixture could enter the cylin-
ders.
Get Rid Of Carbon.
The driver who uses kerosene in
the cylinders to get rid Of carbon will
likely transfer 1t from cylinder to
mufler unless he opens the cutout
when running the engine to blow out
the kerosene and carbon, for the mix
ture ia nice and soft to plaster over
walls of the muffler, and the heat will
quickly bake 1t into a nice enamel,
covering holes and walls.
While the muffier on most cars is
in a most inconvenient place to get
at, the driver should take 1t off oc-
casionally and clean 1t out, or expect
to eventually have trouble, and per.
haps have 1t blown of. This is one
thing you are not likely to find COW
cred by the manufacturers book, but
1t is none the less important.

HOW TO APPROACH CROSSING
It Will Always Pay to Throw Out
Clutch and Coast Until You
Have Listened.

In approaching railroad crossing
1t pays to throw out the clutch and
coast until you have 'iistened" for the
sound of an approaching train. Many
a driver slows down, looks carefully
and listens but his motor makes so
much noise that he fails to hear the
train as 1t approaches from behind n
hill or factory building. In coast
Ing, however, do not allow the engine
to idle SO slowly that there is danger
Of its stalling.

ESSENTIAL TO MILK cow DRY
Pays to Spend Few Minutes In Strip
ping Udder to Make Sure Of
Getting All Milk.

Milking cows dry is essential. When
milk is left in the udder after each
milking, the glands will gradually slow
up on secreting milk and ultimately
the cow will dry up. 1t pays to
spend few extra minutes stripping
the udder to make certain that all the
milk has been extracted.

ROOTS DESIRABLE FOR COWS
Greatest objection to Manoels 10
Amount OF Labor Involved
In Harvesting.

Mangels or roots make very desir-
able feed for dairy cows. The great
est objection is the labor involved in
growing. harvesting and storing them.
This renders them more expensive
than silage and for this reason they
are seldom grown in large quantities
where 1t Is practical to build silos and
fill them with a satisfactory crop.

TANGO IS BACK, DENATURED

No sooner had science discovered the therapeutic value of waltz music as sedative fn hospital practice than the dancing masters decided to give the waltz back seat in the ballroom. It yields it's old place of honor to the tango, that flaming national dance Cf Argentina dena- tured and diluted to one-half of one per cent
 There may be a subtle connection between this degree of the Ameri- can Conclave of Dancing Teachers societies and the medical discovery that The Blue Danube" or Place Aux Danes" will bring peace and slumber to nerve racked invalids. Perhaps it was subsconsciously felt that soporific had no place in the jazzy atmosphere of an up-to- date ballroom.
 And so the dreamy, yearning, pas- sonate waltz. which in Victorian and Edwardian days claimed five sixths of every dance program, now drops to third place behind the tropi- cal tango and--unkindest cut of all- the frivolous fox-ttrot.
 Various countries claim the honor of having given birth to the waltz. Historians trace it to an ancient known parent, lavolta, of Provence. The modern waltz was made in Ger many, and was first danced in Paris during the Reign of Terror. It's first appearance in an English ballrto om was in 1912 and it made terrible scandal. For four years it was re-

WILD ANIMALS ALWAYS WILD

Wild animals in captivity live at night an imaginative life entirely different from those dull hours when the curious file by in front of their cages, according to R. T. Pocock, superintendent of the Geological Gar dens of London, who is about to re- tire after many years Of service. At night, he says, the inborn habits of the jungle show themselves in striking fashion, and the beasts throw off the sleepy veneer of in difference they seem to adopt when humans stand in front of their en- closures and speculate upon what might happen were the animals sud- denly given their liberty.
 If you go into the lions house during the day" MT. PocCck says, you are nearly always impressed by the peaceful way in which the animals regard you. But visit them in the darkness and instantly you are aware of the change. As if by magic their instincts to hunt and to kill have returned. Nothing is more weird than to walk past the cage of a lion or a tiger and then turn around. To your surprise you see that the animal has been stalk ing you just as if he were still living in natural surroundings. The instant you turn your head he drops flat on the floor of the cage"
 Mir. Pocock believes wild animals never make good pets and that man has domesticated every animal worth while.-Scientific American.

JUST A DANGEROUS "sTUNTw

Expert geographers and students of tidal phenomena long have con- tended that either considerable land mass or an archipelago lies within the Unknown Region" outlined on maps between Alaska and the pole.
 To know whether or not land does exist in that area, and to what ex- tent, would be of considerable value to science. In other words. it is of quite as much importance to science to know that land does not exist in the unknown region" as that it does.
 If land does net exist in the 1900 miles between Point Barrow and the pole, can Amundsen distinguish be- tween it and the thousands of square miles of snow covered ice while fix ing at a height of from 5000 to 10000 feet, as a normal regard for his safety would compel him to do?
 Such land, wherever it may be, is likely to be hidden by an impene- trable fog. so that the best he can hope to do is to catch fleeting glimpses of it. And if Amundsen cannot sight land upon, photograph, map or ex- plore any land which may lie be- tween Alaska and the pole, wherein lies the usefulness of his hazardous some say, foolhardy-eXpedition?
 The recent transcontinental flight of Lieutenants MacReady and Kelly served a useful purpose; it proved, among other things that all night flying is practicable. Besides, it had recognized service value; such a flight might be required by one or dozen machines in military cam paign.
 The flight across the Atlantic by Captain Alcock and Lieutenant Brown four years ago, however. was nothing more than rash adventure "a "stunt"-and it seems to the writer that Amundsen's proposed flight falls in the same class.
 It will be simply an exceptionally dangerous long distance airplane flight under ideal weather and light conditions.
 But the distance covered will not be greater than that covered by AL cock and Brown, and much less than that covered by MacReady and Kelly Burt M. Mcconnell, in the Outlook.
