Exploring

Amundsen going to quit? What a pity.
Perhaps his genius for following the unbeaten
path could be turned into channels requiring less
physical activity. And little more exploration
might find the answers to these problems:
Why does your wife have the same thing for
dinner you had for lunch downtown?
Why is it moths almost never eat patches? And
why is it the bands in the parade quit playing just
before they arrive at the spot where you have await
ed their thills?
Why? Why? A thousand irritating why's" need
investigating
Why is it plump people always sit on the aisle
seats in the movies and make their more slender
brethren squeeze past?
Couldn't Amundsen do good work discovering the
answers to these little daily exasperations?

For long time the world in general and the

The latest is a piece of news from Chicago. It
seems that $4,000 boys and girls sang in a mighty

1t was Shakespeare-none other-who raised
the question to the value Of names. Whats in

That, we maintain, is not philosophy. Or, at best
it is pretty shallow philosophy. There are many
names that have very pronounced echoic qualities

KETTERING
KEEPSAHEAD
OF EVERYONE
Is One of Country's Most
Noted Inventors and Elec-
trical Engineers

Detroit, Feb. 27.-There's man
here in Detroit who's long Jump
ahead Of most Of US.
He's Charles Franklin kettering,
one Of the country's most noted in
ventors and electrical and mechani-
cal engineers.
Being a jump ahead of us has ele-
waited him, in 20 years, from a 500
a-month post hole digger to ST.
600, 0OO-a-year executive.
Being that jump ahead has
caused him to invent improvements
so radical that it took him years
sometimes, to convert pu b / {
thought to accepting them.
Now, no matter how unusual his
ideas, they're respected by his fel-
low engineers.
Primarily kettering is an inven.
tor. He has between two and three
hundred patents on electrical ano
mechanical inventions to his credit
The Delco starting, lighting andig
milton system is his. SO is the

Yet Kettering is one of the mos,

New "Anti-knOck"
Not Used in Fuel

New York, Feb. 27.-Instead of
being mixed with the gasoline, like
other substances, a new "anti-
knock" has been found that is act
ually painted on the inside of the
cylinder head, and acts as an aid
to better fuel combustion.
This is a form of catalytic agent,
reports Professor Ralph H. Mckee
Of Columbia University. Many of
these have been devised, one of
them being cerium dioxide.
One application of this "anti-
knock" it is said, is enough to keer
the engine running we'll for $4,000
miles.
A catalytic agent, or catalyst, is
chemical substance which causes
a chemical reaction to take place
between other substances, while il
itself isn't absorbed or in any way
changed.
Thus it helps, and even speeds up
the mixture Of the air and gasoline
in motors.
