Annual Change

III you, car owner, could visualize
clearly the difference that old and new

chamber OF your engine, there would
be no question in your mind concern
ing the sdvisability and actual econ
omy of installing a complete new set
OF spark plugs in your car every TO-.
900 miles, or at least once year.
With a new set you would see hot,
intense spark applied to the gas mix
ture, causing complete combustion and
leaving only the burned gas to aseape
through the exhaust. Such a spark
and such combustion mean that your
engine is developing its maximum
power from the fuel used-that 1t Is
performing as 1t was designed and in
tended to perform.
With n set used for year. or 10
600 miles, you would see a weak
spark delivered to the gas mixture.
This results in only partial combustion
Of that still unburned gas. You see
good power being shot into the air.

English Lampoon
Coolidge Speech
London Press Shows No Great
Love for American in It's
Editorial Comment.
by International News Service.

London, April 11.-Those enthus
iastic persons who cherish the hand
across.thesea spirit, and talk of "oul
cousins across the ocean," will have
to work hard TO patch up the dam
age done by irreverent English
editorial writers in commenting upor
the inaugural address of President
Coolidge.
British opinionists didn't take al
all kindly to President Coolidge's
speech. At first they ignored 1t
and then after due deliberation the,
began to make caustic remarks about
1t, taking joy out of the lives OF
those who would try to convince us
that the two great English speak
Ing nations" are ever locked in af
fectionate embrace, and neither one
can think i'll of the other.
The Morning Post, the reaction
ary organ, was the first TO open its
guns upon President Coolidge's :
speech. The Morning Post deals il
vitriolic writings and sarcasm ant
its most caustic editorial writer de
voted his energies to lampConine
the presidents statement that the
United States sends forth le.ions
armed not with the sword. hut with
the cross" When the Morning
lost commentary was published II
would have taken supreme optimist
to believe that every Englishman is
affectionate towards his cousins
across the Atlantic"
Lord Beaverbrook s Daily Express
ran sevencolumn headline over the
inaugural speech, which was: ',Presi
dent Coolidge Praises America" Thai
Is Beaverbrookian subtlety.
The liberal weekly, THE New
Statesman" commented on the
armed with crosses phrase as
follows:
I'VE do not think we have heard
anything quite like that since the
war days when Horatio Bottomley
and the German kaiser were in full
throat. In view of the fact that
Bottomley Is now in jail and the
kaiser Is In exile, ii is hard to see
how the New Statesman could have
gone further in striving to let its
readers know just what it thought of
President Coolidge's utterances.
Reynolds newspaper broke out
with the following comment
The world is glad of America S
help, and wants it badly; but it feels
that little less Of the tone of the
determined creditor that has been dis.
played would have given greater
title to self eXaltation.
