Proves Vanity Box
Not Modern Device

What is believed by experts to have
been kind of vanity box used by the
women of 1000 years ago, and neck
ring of solid gold, were unearthed re
Gently on a Norwegian farm by a
peasant who gave the articles to his
children for playthings.
Collectors eventually heard of the
discovery and induced the children TO
part with their ancient toys. The ar
ticles, in the judgment of the experts,
date back to about 100 B. C. The
ring, of artistic though barbaric de-
sign, has been placed in the museum
Of Christiania university, while the
vanity box has been going the rounds
among experts who are eager to de-
termine if it contained a powder puff
among its appurtenances, or, if not,
what might have been in use to take
its place in those days.

Cut a piece of emery cloth in dimen-

double it over so that both surfaces
are cutting surfaces. Next cut hole
in the cloth so that the valve stem
may be passed through and the en-

valve head. The valve is then placed
in position for grinding under COM

HOT DAYS CAUSE
OF CAR TROUBLE
There Must Be Sufficient
Quantity of Water Circu-
lated to Care for Heat.

(By ERWIN GREER. President Greer Col
lege Of Automotive Engineering. chicago)
These hot days will cause your au-
tomobile to tell you-to the best of It's
ability-just what condition it is In.
There is no reason why it should over
heat, for it has been designed to oper-
ate in hot weather. Even when the
mercury climbs upward and the sun
drives you into the shade it should not
steam or boil
Tie amount of cooling depends In
part upon the size of the cooling sys-
tenn and the rate at which the water is
circulated through it. The water must
carry away the heat from the cylinders
to the radiator, give up the heat and
return for more. That means that
there must be a sufficient quantity of
water circulated fast enough to take
care of the heat. This is the problem
the engineer must solve for his par
ticular car.
Upholstery injured.
Many owners do not realize that the
leather upholstery gets dry and loses
its new appearance when exposed to
the hot sun. When applied to the car,
the leather contains a certain amount
Of natural oil which is essential to its
life. AS soon as this oil is gone the
leather loses its pliability, becomes dry
and is likely to crack and peel. One
of the most effective ways of shorten
ing the life of the upholstery is to ex-
pose it to the glare of the summer sun
for hours at time. The heat draws
out the natural lubricant, leaving the
leather dull and lifeless.
AS a protective measure, If not for
yolr own comfort, take pains to leave
the car in the shade or to raise the
top If the leather shows signs of wear
or becomes dry, treat it with leather
dressing to restore it to its original
softness.
Watch Battery.
When the weather Is warm you
should watch the battery carefully ard
examine it once or tw ee a day for
heating. This is espec ally essential
if you are touring. PUT your hand on
the top connectors If ehey feel more
than blood warm take the temperature
with a thermometer, and If the Their
mometer indicates 100 degrees or more
burn all the lamps on the car while
driving. This viii serve to relieve the
battery and prevent oy ,rcharging. If
the temperature is dang srously high it
may even be necessary to stop and re-
move the battery cover so as to allow
the battery to cool off. Remember that
a temperature of 40 degrees is dan
gerous and that temperature of 120
degrees will probably ruin the battery
permanently.
When the car reaches a certain
speed an automatic switch cuts in the
generator and current flows to the bat
terry to charge 1t.

Starter Circuit Is Simple.

the flywheel, while the starter shaft on
which the pinion is mounted is spiral
ly cut. When the starter pedal is de-
pressed the starter motor begins to
spin and thus screws the pinion gear
(Which is automatically prevented
from rotating) out to the end Of the
shaft and into mesh with teeth on the
f1ywheel. AS soon as engine starts, the
fywheel runs faster, screwing the pin
ion back out of mesh.
Ordinary starting troubles are weak
battery, short circuit in cable or
starter switch, dirty switch, loose
connections, brushes worn, or commu-
tator dirty. Dirt or gummeG oil on the

nuts work loose, with the result that
the shield is allowed to move slightly.

not be forgotten.

The starter circuit is as simple as

through the car frame, one terminal of
both battery and starter being
grounded.

Simple Suggestions
to Help Motorists

You will reach the end of
perfect day of motoring with
less WEAKNESS in your system
and fewer aches in your legs If
you will:
Feed gas with the hand throt-
tie control now and again In
stead of with the foot.
Hold your eyelids closer to-
gether when the road is wide
and the sun glaring.
Grip the steering wheel at diff
ferent points and thus change
the position of your arms.
Run slower over rough roads
rather than hurry and try to
steer around the bumps.
Always shift to neutral when
stopping for traffic rather than
remaining in gear and holding
the clutch out. and use the hand
brake occasionally so as to rest
the right foot.

Special Dispatch 70 The Star.
NEW YORK. November 1.-Wall
Street wound up the week keen over
the election prospect and with favor
able anticipations as to what would
happen aftcrWard. Nevertheless. the
question was debated. with equally
good Judges on opposing sides, as to
whether the forecast of period of
expanding business and stock market
huoyancy to follow in the wake of
next Tuesdays voting would be
borne out
Reviewing the experience of other
presidential campaigns, the result in
a large majority of instances has been
that where prices have gone up pre-
ceding the election they have not
subsequently continued the advance.
There have been numerous times
where Wall Street came down to busi-
ness with high hopes the morning
after and rushed in to buy. only to
encounter a food Of offerings. In
other words, it was a case of good
news discounted"
Old Pre-Election Rise Lacking.
Whether or not this will be the
sequel on the present occasion will
be interesting to see. One point in
favor Of the optimistic is that between
the middle of September and up to al
most, the end of October prices had
very little advance. In other words,
during all this time there was moth
ing like an old-fashioned prediction
rise. The market was quite indifer-
emit to tho straw votes and the bet
ting odds Only within the last day
or two were these conditions changed.
Therefore, it is fair to say that there
has been no anticipatory upward
movement of such proportions as
would call for a corresponding reac-
ton when the stimulating cause was
out Of the way.
Election Results and Business.
On the other hand, there is the
doubt of just how much business is
to be helped, assuming a conservative
victory at the polls. The immediate
effect would be to release, in many
lines, orders which had been held up
pending the elections. One would ex-
pect to read in the steel reviews. the
weekend reports Of the mercantile
agencies and other similar authorities
that business men had thrown off
their hesitation and had begun to go
ahead.
But what this would mean for in
dustrial profits is another matter
Steel prices were SO low during the
third quarter that most Of the in
dependents lost money. while the
United States Steel Corporation had
to draw slightly on surplus to meet
its regular and extra dividends. On
top of this came the statement by
the Iron Age last Wednesday that the
average of steel prices in the fourth
quarter was likely to be several dol
lars a ton less than during the third
quarter. Nothing was said about the
election results possibly making a
change. The steel industry simply
was Of the opinion that competition
had grown SO lively that there was
no prospect Of any betterment in the
price situation for some time to come
Similar conditions apply, not by any
