Bureau Discovers Plan
to Eliminate Car Noises

From experiments with the sound
prooting qualities of partitions, to the
field of automobile construction, would
seem at first thought far cry. New
ertheless, investigations at the United
States bureau of standards have de-
veloped a fact which may prove of
tremendous interest to automobilists,
and in particular to that large proper
ton of automobiles who now ride in
closed cars.
The greater extent to which motor
and chassis noises are observable
within closed cars Of certain makes,
often referred to as the sounding
board effect" seems to have a very
definite explanation.
1t was found at the bureau that par
titions made with wood framing and
covered with lath and plaster trans
NIT less than one-hundredth as much
sound as those of lath and plaster on
metal framing. The motorists deduc-
tion from this is quite obvious.
The more rigid the connection be-
tween the chassis and the material
which forms the interior finish of the
ear the more easily sound is trans
mitted.

SPARK PLUG IS
TROUBLE MAKER
They Are So Well Con-
structed They Require
Little Attention.

The lowly spark plug, seemingly
mechanism, may sometimes be trou-
BILE maker, even though spark plugs
are so well constructed nowadays that
they require little or no attention in
thousands of miles of driving.
Because of their efficiency, spark
plugs are not likely to be suspected
at first, when something goes wrong
with the engine.
How a Spark Plug Works.
The function of a spark plug is
simply to introduce into the cOmbus-
ton chamber of the cylinder two wires
with q gap between them, across
which gap an electrical spark jumps.
This spark ignites the gas mixture in
the cylinder to furnish the driving
power of the car. If the current de-
liyered to the spark plug does not
have high enough voltage, of course
no spark will jump across the gap of
the two wires, and the mixture will
not be ignnited. ~
If the plug itself is defective, this
Is easily detected. All that is neces-
sary is to lay the plug, with cable at
tached, on the cylinder head, and to
start the engine. If spark is seen
jumping the gap between the wires.
the plug is functioning, provided the
spark is of sufficient intensity.
In this connection it is well to know
how to set the gap between the wires.
According to usual practice. this gap
Is .025 to .03 inches wide, but this
sometimes varies with the kind of
engine. To set the gap, thickness
gauge may be used, but if not avail
able, worn dime or pasteboard
card is used. Find the gap measure
ment that gives best results and set
the gap to that distance.
Attacking Carbon.
Carbon often accumulates on plugs,
causing a short circuit, which means
that the current does not jump the
gap and that no spark results. To
ACIuONO Gal UOA, IdhO Jul plu6 anu
soak it in gasoline for an hour and
then scrape off the carbon.
Be sure that spark plugs are
screwed tightly into the cylinder holes
otherwise, the plugs will became
Overheated because of the compress
sion Leak around them. A worn gas
ket may also cause such leak, even
if the plugs are screwed down tightly.
To find out if there is leakage around
the plug, squirt some oil around the
joint, and if bubbles appear when the
engine is. running, the plug is leaking
compression.
Cracks in the porcelain insulation
of plug will make it refuse to fire
at the proper point. To discover
cracked plug, run the engine in dark
garage, and the cracked place will ap-
pear as luminous line on the plug.

Handling Alfalfa With
Little Loss of Leaves

That the best system for handling
alfalfa hay is to let it lie in the
swath for few hours and then cure
it in the windrow, is fact discov-
cred by Professors T. A. Kiesselbach
and Arthur Anderson, of the Nebras-
ka experiment station. Such a plan
insures favorable rate of curing and
the least possible losssof the leaves:
Experiments showed that alfalfa
left in the swath until field cured lost
nearly 10 per cent in weight through
the shattering Of the leaves. When
cured entirely in the 'windrow or with
three to six hours initial swath cur
ing, followed by windEowing, the loss
in weight through leaf shattering was
only from / to per cent.
Tests made to determine how long
it would take fer alfalfa hay to be
reduced to moisture content of
about 30 per cent, which is the upper
limit in moisture content at which
hay may be put in the stack or barn,
brought out facts of interest. These
tests showed that when the hay was
left to dry in the swath it was ready
for. stacking in twenty-seven hours.
When the hay was put into the wind
row right after cutting. it required
an average, of siXty-five hours to be-
come dry and when put into the cock
after cutting 102 hours for drying
were required.

Comfort and Utility Is
Big Aim in Fixing Garb

what the man or woman will wear
on the motor trails should be dictated
not by the usual Dame Fashion but
only by utility, comfort and neatness,
according to an article in the Field

"There are more comfortable things
to travel in than silk hose and high
heeled Shoes" remarks Field and
Stream Magazine. while loud cos
tunes never quite fit into the scheme

Although the day of the motor dus-
ter and voluminous veil is past, still
there are clothes and clothes for mo-
toring, in the opinion of Field and
Stream Magazine. The most practi-
cal attire, it believes, is arranged
somewhat along the following lines:
B. V. D. underwear, leather puttees,
flannel shirt, khaki riding breeches,
army last shoes, and leather coat.
Khaki is also recommended for the
women either in the form of one-piece
dresses, knickers, or riding pants.
Cotton underwear, according to the
Field and Stream article, is to be pre-
ferred to WOODEN because on hot days
it is decidedly cooler, while on cool
days it can easily be supplemented by
extra outside wraps.

INSECT Damages
) Red Clover Crop
Root Borers May Be Killed
by Flowing and Harrow
ing in Summer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Inc clover root bOrer, which does
extensive damage to red clover wher-
ever that crop is grown, is one OF the
principal factors limiting the life of a
clover stand after the first-crop year.
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture. The most noticeable DAM
age is observed in the second-crop
year, when the stand may be badly
thinned, according to L. =. lockwood,
associate entomologist, in a new bull
tetin entitled "The Glover Root Bor-
err" just issued by the department.
BY late summer frequently the stand
Is practically killed out unless there
has been abundant self-seeding.
Where Eggs Are Laid.
The eggs of the bOrer are laid in
inches in the walls of burrows in the
clover roots beginning late in April or
May, and hatch in IL to 30 days. The
total development period of the insect
is from 60 to 90 days or longer 1t
spends the entire winter in the roots
of the clover where it natures. There
is but one generation year,
Clover root borers can be killed in
large numbers by blowing up badly
infested clover roots and narrowing
them to the surface Of the soil at any
time between the middle of June and
beginning of August. Many of the Dor
ers may be destroyed by blowing and
narrowing the clover soon after the
seed crop or. second cutting of hay.
A One-crop system of clover culture,
together with general practice of
early fall blowing of clover sod, and,
in exceptionally severe cases, summer
blowing and narrowing, should free a
community from appreciate damage
by the borer in the first-crop year.

Corn Less Susceptible
to Injury by the Borer

In some instances certain varieties
of field corn and of sweet corn have
been found to be less susceptible to
severe injury by the European corn
borer than others, although no va
riety is immune. This apparent diff
ference is usually involved to some eX-
tent with the time of planting and
also with the rapidity or size of
growth and the consequent period of
maturity. The varieties of corn hav-
ing large, heavy stalks seem able to
withstand injury to much greater en-
tent than the slender varieties. This
seems especially true of the robust,
large, dent varieties, such as are
grown widely in the corn belt states.

Banking and Currency

The underlying strength Of the
credit situation today is primarily
due to the rapid growth Of the bank
ing capacity Of the United States in
recent years, states the current issue
Of the Guaranty Survey, published by
the Guaranty Trust company Of New
York. The bank expansion during the
last four years has exceeded even the
tremendous increase that was neces-
stry to finance the war. The loans,
discounts and investments Of state and
national banks and trust companies
expanded by more than $4,000, 1000 900
between June, 1922, and June, 1926.
During the same period the growth n
deposits has been more than $780,
100000.
Several factors contributed to this
development, the Survey continues.
The heavy gold importatiOns have
swelled the bank reserves, while de-
posits have increased enormously
from the savings of individuals and
corporations during the recent years
of high business prosperity. The to-
tai amount Of savings deposits in
June, 1925, was more than $24,5OO,-
100000. This figure represents an
increase of $500, 5000 0 for the
year, whereas between 1912 and 1916
savings deposits increased only ST.
OOO, OOO,O 900.
The banks are in a stronger posi-
ton than a year ago. Total borrow
ings of the reporting member banks
were $44,O0O,OOO smaller at the be-
/: ginning of this month than on the
corresponding date in 1925. The Fed
