TESTS RADIATORS

In the Highland Park plant of the
Ford Motor Company at Detroit,
there is a machine which tries with
all the efficient fiendishness of ar
engine of destruction, to shake the
life out of Ford automobile radia-
tor in the shortest possible time.
Ten hours is the time allotted to
this machine, known as the "agita-
tor" to do all within it's power to
ruin a water-filled Ford radiator
At the end of that period the much
abused radiator is taken Off the ma
chine and examined by experts for
any signs of damage and a brand
new Ford radiator, also filled with
hours of torment.
This agitator device is part of the
testing equipment for radiators that
are being built for the new model
"a" Ford car. When you watch it
juggling and jolting and shaking the
gurgling radiator, you have a feel
ing that no automobile driver could
drive car over roads and at a
speed which would give it such a
severe shaking up and still hold on
to his wheel and his seat. Then the
factory foremen tells you that with
in the period of ten hours this agi-
tator gives the new radiator more
and severer jars and jolts than the
average Ford will get in it's whole
lifetime of service.
And he tells you also that the ma
jority of radiators tested on this ag
itator come through the ordeal with
out sign of injury. Those that
spring even the smallest leaks are
rare Indeed.

Credit for Starch Is
Awarded to Flanders

The use of starch in the laundry be-
gan about $50 years ago, and is said
to have originated in Flanders. 1t
came into popularity in England In
the reign of Elizabeth, whose courtiers
and ladies wore rufus Of cambria too
large to stand firm without artificial
stiffening. The starch was like that
of modern times except that it was
colored-red, yellow, green, and blue
and gave delicate tints to the huge
linen contrivances Of the beaux and
bellies of the period.
The method of using starch was a
secret and in order to find a person
who could properly starch her linen,
Queen Elizabeth was compelled to
make nationwide search and Mrs.
Guilham, wife of an official of the
royal household, was the first starch.
err. In 1864 a Flemish woman, Frau
Vaudh Plasse, came to London and es-
tablished there a school to teach
starching. The school succeeded, and
the frau of Flanders became rich.

Chinese Pirates Not
Like Old Buccaneers

Although pirates are hardly less
common than fishermen on some Chi
nese rivers, they differ from the
pirates Of popular juvenile fiction in
that they are not particularly blood
thirsty In fact some of China's best
known government officials began life
as bandits or pirates, and found it no
detrilnent socially in after years. An
incident illustrating something of the
sort was told in the Dearborn indie
pendent by William e. Barton, who
has travelled extensively in the Orient,
as follows:
"Only few months ago steam
launch belonging to Canton Chris
tian college, loaded with students, was
captured and held for ransom. The
ransom was not paid. The governor
of the island Of HOnan, on which the
college is located, assured the college
people that it was not wise to pay
ransom, or 1t would have to be done
again. They will not KILL he said
When was robber We captured
for ransom, but we did not kill"
This information proved reliable.
the writer continues. and the students
and launch were returned within
few days.

early days of the State when five

The increased pay if approved by
the people of Maryland, would pro-

Bread of CuetersloK
Boosted by Bismarck

Guetersloh was town of some
1,50O inhabitants some years ago,

In the year 1870 Bismarck was
again travelling through Guetersloh,
this time as chancellor. King William
was with him, and when the train
stopped the prime minister called out
genially to the crowd that had come
to meet them:
us there anyone who can get us
some pumpernickel with butter?"
AS number of reporters were pres.
ent when this query was made, the
fortune of the Guetersloh black bread
was made and 1t speedily became the
fashion all over Germany. The craze
for Westphalian pumpernickel spread
far and wide, cunningly furthered by
the bakers, who now baked for ex.
port only small one-pound lOaves, for
the purpose of making 1t look more
like a delicatessen." as they say.
The bakers of Guetersloh were
worldly wise, for from the same
kneading troughs there go into the
oven first the huge loaves Certain of
these going to the farmhouses often
weigh ha..s hundredweight) and
then, shaped of what was left, the
tiny loaves that are wrapped in paper
