Birmingham Agency Makes Fine Showing In Big
 Countrywide Contest

Willys-Overland dealers report the sale of 21,156 Overlands and Willys- Knights during the month of June, the greatest volume of retail business in a single month in the history of the company.
 In Birmingham, the sales force of Willys- -Knight-O Overland company, under the able leadership of Tom Turrentine, have incredsed the speed of the various ships" in the great "around-the-world" Naeroplane race and this week finds Me Curdy in the lead, having displaced Wild Bill' Wilcox by a half length.
 The race between Miami and Birming- ham for the big pot is also attracting attention and news from the alligators indicates that the Birmingham aggrega- tion is not going to have such a pipe as was at first supposed.
 In the national contest more than $50.000 is being offered by Willys-Over- land in prizes in the various depart ments and districts and Birmingham is

 During the week of June g returns from the field indicate the sale of more than 7,400 cars. This is the third time within 10 weeks that new week. ly high point has been, reached.
 Analysis of retail sales certificates re- turned by dealers to the factory upon completion of the sale of new cars shows that selling conditions through out the country are uniformly good, without bOoms in any districts and cor responding depressions in other terri tories.

Will you please tell me if I can use dry cells for ignition and also for start ing and lighting? How many cells would I have to use for this purpose --G. B. E.
 You can use dry cells for ignition, but not in place of a storage battery for starting and lighting. Five cells will serve for ignition purposes and they must be connected in service.
 Are the fuel feed and carburetion systems of an airplane the same as those of racing automobile 70. E. S.
 No, there is a considerable difference An ordinary pressure feed system to the carburetOr is used on the plane, but there are other differences.
 The tail lamp on my car has burned out several times in spite of the fact that I have fuse in the line. I can suggest how can remedy the trouble --C. T. l..
 The light burns out because the volt age in the line is too high. The fuse must be of the wrong size if it does not protect. the bulb by blowing out before it is injured by the excess current. Make sure that you are using the prop CT fuse size and then see if your bulbs are of the right voltage. If both fuse and bulbs are right, have the service station go over the system.
 What is the order of firing on a six-cylinder engine?-D. F. F.
 The order differs. It may be 1-4-2- G-3-5 or 1-5-3-6-24, or 1-3-2-6-4-5.

 You do not mention the carburetor now in use, but Stromberg, Rayfield, Zenith and Stewart all make good in- struments for the Ford.
 How can get better lighting on my 1917 Ford HI. R. V.
 presume you are using the .magneto for current and I would suggest in stalling a current control. To get more light you need more current and larger bulbs, and q generator and battery sys- tenn gives the best results.

STORY OF LIGHTNING ROD
King George III Was Opposed 70
Franl<lin's Device and Ordered
Points Made Blunt.

France has probably done more than
any other nation TO make the world
safe against lightning. This is the CEN
tenary year of a revised set Of rules
printed by the Academic des Sciences
for the protection of buildings by con-
ductors. The glory of discovery, how
ever, must be shared by other nations.
Benjamin Franklin begins the story.
I'm 1745." he wrote, 81 met at Bos-
ton certain Doctor Spence. who came
from Scotland He performed some
electrical experiments before me-"
Then little later while in Philadel-
phia. the great American received
from Mr.. Collinson of London. mem
Der Of the Royal society, his first toy
glass tube. II seized eagerly on the
chance Of reproducing what had seen
done in Boston"
From these experiments to the IA
nous kite was an easy step, and from
the kite to the lightning conductor the
magic leap. OF course, the lightning
conductor had hard struggle for
recognition. It was received churlish-
~ by George III. who took his revenge
on Franklin by ordering the substitu-
ton Of blunt ends for pointed ones on
the Kew palace conductors.
Sir John Pringle. president Of the
Royal society, was invited by the king
to back him up. Sir John replied that
the flaws of nature are not change
able at royal pleasure" The offended
king suggested resignation. and resign
Sir John did But the wits were Oh
the side of the president:
While you. great George. for safety
hunt
And sharp conductors change for blunt
The nations out of joint.
Franklin wiser course pursues,
And all your thunder fearless views
BY keeping to the point.

BRITAIN AS SEEN FROM AIR
Photographs Show Complete Preserva-
tion Of Boundaries Between Fields
Of Ancient Celtic Inhabitants.

Every day that passes suggests .
new use for the airplane. The latest
revelation comes from southern Eng
land, where photographs taken by O.
g. S. Crawford show the complete
preservation of the boundaries between
the fields of the ancient Celtic inhabi-
tants who dwelt in England before the
coming Of the Romans and Saxons.
From the ground almost all vestiges
Ct the ancient system Of division have
long since vanished, but photographs
from the air still show the ancient
Geld boundaries as a kind Of pattern
seen through those Of the present day.
The air photographs reveal earth
works which the observer on the
ground can scarcely see.
The Celts appear TO have made their
boundaries Of broad low banks in which
they placed a good deal OF chalk. Al
though the banks have vanished to a
great extent, the earth where they once
were retains lighter color because OF
the mingling Of small grains of chalk
b the soil.
A definite relationship can be seen
between the fields, roads and the sites
Of ancient villages. Mr.. Crawford even
thinks that he sees evidence of an an
eent system Of irrigation. The
boundaries are supposed to be from
1900 to $500 years old.-From the
Living Age.
