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

often It happens that motorists are
obliged 10 stop and repair their cars
far from any available water supply,
and then II is n question OF washing
their hands. Annoying, often.
But Edgar S. CurtIss OF Cincinnati
has devised n portable lavatory, which.
having the outward appearance OF a
suitcase, may readily be put to use In
such an emergency.
Half of il IL n water tank the other
half is a basin. All that is necessary
is 10 open II and turn a tap. A small
box with a water-tlght lid, to contain
a cake OF soap, Is mounted on the
tank, which Is also provided with q
spring clamp TO hold a towel.
Thus the motorist can wash his
hands at a moments notice, dry theV,
empty the basin by unscrewing a cap
which closes the outlet and so go on
his way rejoicing.

was born In Lancashire, England,
somewhere about 1884. II is now sug.

whose family history goes back to
Mayflower days. The Standlsh house
has been occupied by the Standish

England is just now being taken down

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

Spark plugs have been in use almost
as long as the automobile Itself. They
were Invented primarily TO plug up the
holes in the TOP 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
stx, and some even had eight and
twelve. 1t all depended ga the car.
and they never knew unfit after the
car was finished how many plugs Il
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, a car had TO have a magnetic
and wires 10 hook onto 1t. Then came
the question of what 10 % with the
other ends of the wires that were
hooked onto the magnetic. One day a
young inventor decided to attach the
loose end of the ma gneto wires to the
plugs in the top OF the cylinders snd
rename the plugs spark plugs. This
was done, and 1t became 30 popular
with automobile makers that II has
been the custom ever since.
Now automobile makers e~ens go 50
far as TO advertise their cars by the
number of spark plugs 1t has. For in
stance, You hear OF the .super six"
the highway twelve" the twin SIX"
and the aero eight."-Arcade News

She told her that the fashion was for

obdurate.

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

For best results, distilled water
should be added to the cells of a stor-
age battery only just before il Is to be
charged Gas in driving the carr. The
hydrometer readings should not he
taken until after the charging has pro-
ceeded for some time because charg-
In is the only means by which the
acid and water can be thoroughly
mixed. To obtain the most accurate
hydrometer readings, they should he
made when the temperature of the
e%lectroly,e Is at 70 degrees Fahren-
helt.
Making Voltage Test.
To make a voltage test of the stor-
age battery. first place it on discharge
for 10 or i minutes by turning on the
lights. Using the 30tvolt scale of a
volunteer. connect the instrument
across the main terminals Of the bat
terry and the scale should register Q
volts or more. Using the 3-voit scale,
connect the instrument across the ter
minals OF the individual cells and each
cell should register . volts. II 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 amrneter for testing a
storage battery. The ammeter Is n
low-reslstance instrument and would
he burned out.
Overhaul and Clean.
II a storage battery is to be given
hauled and cleaned once n year-thls
is not an expensive operation and
guarantees large savings in the long
run. The ear owner can accomplish
a great deal In this connection by
keeping the top OF the battery dry
and clean at all times-the terminals
should always he tight and well
creased with vaseIine to prevent ex-
ceSsive corrosion.
To clean the top of a battery. tighten
the filler caps, and apply a 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 II. Repeat
this entire operation until the battery
stops foaming when the solution is
applied.
II is necessary TO add water TO the
cells more often in summer than dur
ing cold weather because the higher
temperatures cause the water 10 evap-
crate more rapidly.

With a good sewing machine. a good

a motor can manage to do most Of the
plain sewing for the family, especially
for the children. Very often the sew
ing room may be combined with the
children's playroom and the mother
can watch and direct their occupations
as well as accomplish a good deal on
the machine.

show how much more economical of
body energy a motor-driyen sewing ma
chine Is when compared with n
driven by ~foot-power or with hand
sewing.
Most women realize that they work
harder and put forth more muscular
effort when they run a sewing machine
for an hour with their feet than when
they sit and sew for the same time by
hand, though of course, they accom-
plish more with the machine. For ex-
ample, in hemming sheets, it takes
about six times as much energy TO run
the feot-driven machine for an hour
as It does to sew by hand for that
length of time, at the ordinary rate,
but two yards can be hemmed with the
amount of energy required for n by
hand and In much less time. Probably
- yards could be hemmed on the sew
ing machine while one was being done
by hand.
Energy Required.
When the electrically driven machine
was used In the departments inyesti-
cations the energy required per hour
was not quite twice that used for hand
sewing. Ii a only o~ne-fourth as
much as that needed TO run the foot
driven machine. The energy used per
yard was about one-fifth of that used
with the foot-driven machine, and less
than one-tenth Of that for thanksgiving.
Tn c5 her words. even II the machine
did NOT sew any faster or finish a
greater number Of yards In an hour,
when run by an electric motor, the
mother would be less tired when she
had finished n given amount OF sewing
than II she had pedaled the machine.
