RUHR COAL DEPOSITS
ECLIPSED IN HOLLAND

BERLIN.-At Winterswijk, Holland
a coal deposit bigger than that in the
Ruhr has been discovered at dept of
700 meters. 1t is anthracite, topped
by 100 meter deep natural salt lay
er.
There are seven layers of anthra-
cite, the thickest being six feet.
The town of Winterswijk is on the
west border of Holland and is 40
miles north of the junction OF the
Rhine and the Ruhr.

How about tracing out trouble In

Most garage men, and they are in
position to know, believe that you are

the effect of the educational work that

To every motorist sooner or later
there comes the unpleasant expert
ence of stepping on the starter button
and instead OF the merry whirr of
turning gears. being greeted by stony
silence. It is scarcely remarkable that
this occurs, indeed the wonder is that
the starter holds up as well as it does

the hands Of the average car owner.

In cases Of starter failure the first

The starting motor Is generally lu-
bricated from the engine on one end
and by small oil hole in the other.
The engine fabrication is automatic,
but the oil hole requires asdrop Of oil

The brushes and commutator Of the
starting motor do not need oil In fact,

the obvious lesson that troubles in the
starting system are best cured by rea-
sonable care beforehand. Keep the
battery up to its work. watch the
cables for broken insulation. Give the
starting motor the drop of oil It needs,

Simple Variometer Can
Be Made From Leftoyers

The .variometer here described Is
easily made from odds and ends
found in any fans junk pile. It is,
however, very efficient. This vario-
meter is especially well adapted for
use in portable sets. as 1t takes very
little space. and, being in continual
variable inductance, does away with
the need Of variable condenser. The
coupling may be varied from tight to
very loose. The size and number Of
turns will vary with the needs of the
individual constructors. 1t has been
found that so turns three inches in
diameter will work satisfactorily. The
coils are made by winding the wire on
tube Of the proper diameter and
then slipping the wire off. The turns
Of wire may be held together by twist
ing small piece of insulated wire
