Welding To Saue Money
By BARNEY OLDFIELD

The automotive industry offers wide duplication to all sorts of welding and 1brazing apparatus. This is true both in manufacturing and repairing, but more particularly in the latter. Weld l ing is a process of uniting one piece of metal with another so that the two become one homogeneous piece. Braz- l ing unites two pieces of metal by means of brass or bronze as binder. Solder 1 ing is joining two pieces by means of solder or lead alloy.
 There are three types of welding ap- paratus: Oxy-acetylene, electric and force of pressure welding. Tn the first oxygen and acetylene are fed through a specially designed torch and burned at the end of the torch. The resulting flame supplies the heat to mott the parts to be welded. In electric welding an electric arc is used, Forge welding is the kind the blacksmith does-simpiy heat the parts to redness and pound them together.
 The oxy-acetylene flame has tenn perature of about 4,000 degrees which IS considered low in the welding field. The total heat volume is enormous, but this is not enough to produce in- stantaneous welds except in thin sec tions. Oxy-acetylene welding requires pre-heating of the parts to be welded. Oxy-acetylene is not applicable to cast iron or malleable iron. sT
 For automobile work, the electric welding systems are considered the best. There are two divisions spot welding and butt or lap welding. The spot welding is for bodies where the welds are made in small circles by means of two electrodes that touch two sheets of metal from both sides. The cur rent IS so hot that it melts a small area or spot and thus welds or joins the sheets together at that spot,
 In other forms of welding there are two general types, the direct current and the alternating. Electric welding requires no pre-heating, therefore, the parts do not have to be removed from the car. It is quick and the weld is exceptionally strong. Electric welding is applicable. to such parts as water jackets, axle housing, transmission cases, frames, crank-cases, etc.
 Many car owners are not aware that lt5is possible with good weld to get better services from the parts than had before the parts broke. The elec- tric welder has made this possible. The applications in industrial work are ir- numerable; and in the automobile field the money saved annually through welding of all kinds runs into millions.
 One of the most peculiar things about electric welding is that difference in the current (whether direct or alternat- ing) produces different results. Thus with one system of alternating it is possibly to weld cast and malleable iron successfully and with direct current the work is not nearly so successful. Just why the difference in current form does this is more than I can say, and so far as know none has ex- plained it satisfactorily. In the al- ternating current system there is, so far as know, just a big coil of wire. Nothing moves and just why the cur rent acts differently from direct is a

WOMAN PREFERS CLOSED MODELS
Hudson And Essex Dealer
 Finds Marked Drift x Toward Enclosures

.
 Out of my house, into the closed motor, away I whiz and arrive at the party as trim and neat as when I left the mirror. Give me the closed car every time" .a.
 This is the attitude of, every woman, Il You agree with the opinion of A. R. Pryor, Hudson-Essex distributor. Ac- cording to the Hudson Essex man. she thinks further just about as follows:
 Supposing long for ride through the country to breathe fresh air and feel the balmy wind. Do need an open carr do not. In two minutes I can put down all the windows and even open the windshield, if prefer, and get all the breeze.
 One time was out on just such spin. It was an early spring day and the freshness of everything had a way of vanquishing the petty troubles and cares. Without warning dark cloud appeared, a few drops of rain tell and then a regular cloudburst. Of course you think my day was rnined. We'll, my dear, when those first few drops fell I stopped the car began put ting up windows, and will you believe that l was tucked safely in my closed

 car and continuing with my drive be- fore that cloudburst came?
 Now can't you just imagine what a fix l would have been in with an open car? Getting out all those cur tains, fitting them up--undoubtedly I'd have be endrenched. And do you know that in the open car itwas nothing un- usual for me to return from a ride with my face sunburned and my nose was horribly red, which no powder ever hides.
 "A great many 0pen-car fans are un- der the impression that to get fresh air in q closed car yeu have to sit in q draft. That's perfectly ridiculous. All do is to open them on one side and close them on the other. Common sense will tell you there couldn't be draft then. When I desire to be particularly neat in my appearance l always open the windows on the right, and the breeze touches my hair.
 Here is another point strongly in favor of the inclosed car, think. Moth CTS who drive their own motors need never fear putting the children in the back seats, for the kiddies simply can not fall out with the rear windows closed. The purchase of closed car has been one of the greatest pleasures and comforts in my life.'

problem for some one with more time than have. |
 In the welding of steel the direct and alternating current systems seem to act the same but when it comes to cast and malleable iron the arc pro duces better fusion apparently because of the rapidity with which the arc reverses. The alternating current sys- tenn is in wide use in many industries, but the average repairman and service station is not acquainted with the ability of these welding systems to make profits and save money for auto mobile and truck owners.

STEALS PAUL REYERE'S STUFF

General SIocum, Mounted on Trusty Motor Truck, Takes Midnight Ride N Boston has its Paul Revere and the immortal midnight ride. New York has it's General Slocum and a midnight ride, too new and shining, however, u be im- mortal, yet, says a New York letter to the Christian Science Monitor. But New York, ever alert, is already casting about for modern Longfellow to do some poetics and prevent that midnight ride from slipping into oblivion, un- heralded and unsung.
 Revere's dashjng steed, so we are told, raced headlong through the coun- tryside, leaping over fences, over hedges, over brooks as fleet of foot as a classic dancer. General Slocum,s horse did his midnight ride with both feet glued to the floor.
 They moved General Slocum from Eastern parkway and Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, site he has dominated since l9O0, and gave him his day of glory by means of night ride in a motor truck.
 A few indistinguishable shouts, a stern order and the general was off at a rapid clip, past intersects, billboards and barn. General Slocum rode gal lantly on through the night to Fifteenth street and Ninth avenue, where he will remain until a permanent site is se- lected, probably in Prospect park, west.
 Later a city official explained it all. General Slocum was taking up too much roadway on the old site and obstructing the view of motorists coming around the curves. So they moved him to make way for atraffic tower. The ride was staged at night, not for glory, but to avoid traffic.

RiShOps To Take Stand.
Bishop Brown himself plans to
take the stand to explain his views.
He will tell the court that he has
not left the chruch, nor will he,
even though he is deposed by his
present judges. He will tell the
court that he believes in the good

In the goodness Of Santa Claus and

West will endeavor to show, that
the story of the Virgin birth of
Christ has its parallel in the cases
Of fifty-six other religions, all of

this miraculous proceeding. He
will contend that 1t is all traceable

has been on the job continuously
with but few days Off for more
than foTty.five years. In November
he win round out his forty-sixth
year in the position he now holds.
Reports state that during his en-
tire time of service he has never

QUASHED
House of Lords Favors Wife,
overturning Decision
of Courts
By international News Serv,.s

LONDON, May 3O.-The House
of Lords today quashed the decree
of divorce granted to the Honor
able John Russell, son and heir
of Lord Amphill, from his wife.
Christobel Russell, on grounds of
infidelity.
Report Of Committee.
Russell had named a man whose
identity was not revealed. The
committee of the House of Lords
that investigated the case said that
Russell's testimony that he and
Mrs. Russell had not lived together
as man and wife could not be 1e.
ceived under the English law
Therefore the committeeman argued
no evidence of infidelity could
properly have gone before the Jury,
The Russell divorce which brought
up the question Of the paternity Of
Mrs. Russell's child, was one of
the most sensational ever heard IN
the British divorce court. 1t at.
tracted widespread attention through.
out all Europe and America.
After Russell denied being the
father Of his wife's child. counsel
for Mrs Russell spu~h' 10 prove
through "A compar - ~ uf physical
fcatur's that Russell was really
the father.
