NEW AUTO FINISH
IS MORE DURABLE
PYoxylin Base Materials
Early Obstacles Are Now
Overcome.

The durability of finish must suit
the use to which an article is put. &C.
cording to H. G. Mougey, who writes
in the July issue of the Journal of the
Society of Automotive Engineers.
Mr.. Mougey, who makes the OBJ
servation that II pianos were parked
at the curb and automobiles always
stood in houses the durability OF their
finishes would have TO be reversed,
declares further that the cracking of
varnish finishes may be caused by the
drying and contraction of the top coats
over insufficiently dried under coats.
Moreover. when exposed out Of doors
the entire film absorbs moisture from
rain, mist or dew and swells and soft
ems. Then when the sun comes out the
top coat dries and contracts, and II the
material is not sufficiently elastic 10
withstand the stresses cracks develop.
Moisture and direct sunlight are the
principal causes of the severity of out
side exposure, and the durability OF
finishes can be increased by reducing
the severity OF these factors
Life Can Be Increased.
Tests have shown that If color and
rubbing varnishes of high dura bility
are used an increase OF from two TO
four times the life of ordinary produc.
ton finishes can be obtained. They
require a long time for air drying
however, and If a attempt Is made to
shorten the time by forced drying
there is great danger Of injuring the
color. For these reasons a material
that will air-dry quickly. that can be
rubbed to a smooth finish and that is
very durable is desired. 1t has been
found that certain cellulose nitrate
materials possess these qualities the

materials are applied over suitable un-

which are used primarily for their
color, also shade the materials under.

light.
The cellulose nitrate formerly used
in making pyroxylin finishes had one
very serious fault, however, Only
very small quantities could be put into
solution without the mixture becom-
ing so thick that it could not be ap.
piled. However, certain companies
have recently discovered how to put
several times the former quantity into
solution without increasing the Wis
costly beyond that of the old-type So
lutions. The possibility of the use of
cellulose nitrate enamels for finishing
automobiles dates from this discovery
As it was found that sufficient luster
could be produced by rubbing and pol

method of finishing the use of cellu-

FUNCTION'OF CONDENSER.
Stores Up Current for Break Which
Provides Spark.

A defective condenser can be de-
tected by the too rapid blackening of
the breaker points.
The condenser is storage unit for
electricity, although 1t does not in
reality store current at all. The
storage battery in the car acts as an
intermediary to provide the current
for the ignition system, while the con-
denser stores up the current and gives
the battery capacity. The condenser
is composed of thin sheets of metal
conductor separated by non-con-
ductor. When placed in parallel with
the primary circuit of the ignition
the condenser plays its part in stor-
ing up current for the break. 1t is
the break in the primary circuit that
induces the big spark in the secondary
circuit.

Children who are too young to
have competent physicical exam

in determining the presence of tuber-
culosis in infants who have been in
contact with active cases of tuber-
culosis.
Many early cases of tuberculosis
have been detected in the county, and
put on the right road to recovery be-
fore the disease has made irreparable
inroads upon their health.
Every facility possessed by large

SILVER FOX IS
MONEY MAKER
Richland Man Says One Pup
Means More Profit than
100 Tons of Hay

"That one pup will brine me more
profit than / would get on a hundred
tons of hay, Or say 200 turkeys, and
the work of production is infinitely
less," said 7. j. Hartley, of Richland
this week, who came to Kennewick
to ship out a young silver fox. Mr..
Hartley has fox farm up the river,
and finds that the business is highly
remunerative as well as being most
interesting work.
"My foxes, four of which were
shown at the state fair in Yakima
this fall, are of registered stock.
Three of my animals were scored
higher than the next highest in the
show, winning over the pick of a
farm that has over 800 animals %
said Mr.. Hartley.
The original pair were purchased
three years ago for eight hundred
dollars. Good silver foxes for breeding
purposes are now priced at $500 a
pair up, according to Mr.. Hartley.
Eight animals have been sold and he
still has three pair left.
Wire pens, 12x36 feet. costing
about $50 to build, are about the only
expense required. The animals cost
about as much as an ordinary dog
to feed and require about half an
hours care a day. And it's a lot
easier to haul one pup to market than
hundred tons of hay.
