You may do many things, fol-
low scores OF different plans, ALL
WITHIN THE SCOPE OF YOUR
OWN NATURE.
You may lead a cautious life
or reckless life; a merry life or
a serious one-AND YET AL
WAYS BE YOURSELF.
We're apt to forget this fact.
We usually realize that we, our
selves, are very complex, but we
don't realize that the other chap
Is equally so. We think OF him
as one person, with cnly one set
OF impulses; a nice person or a
mean one: a wise person or a
foolish one.
BUT EVERYONE is MANY
PERSONS.
EVERYONE HAS A CHOICE
OF FOLLOWING RIOU S
COURSES.
Many people do follow various
courses, hopping from one per-
sonality to another, and thereby
making a dreadful mess OF their
lives.
THE GREAT THING IS TO
PICK ONE COURSE AND STICK
TO 1T.
You will sometimes regret that
you picked that course; you will
always feel the tug OF other i'm
pulses. but it's the only way you
will get anywhere. Ii you sur
render to every conflicting Inn
pulse and influence, your career
will be as futile and tragic as the
career of a chip on the ocean.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

GONE people are forever tor.
~ mented with boils and their
first cousins. carbuncles. What !
mean Is, such persons seem almost
to have a special susceptibility TO
these irritating and painful infec-
tons which come on every now
and then in what Is often referred
to as crops" OF boils.
One should bear in mind, how
ever, that there is no hereditary
predisposition to beils and car
buncles. They occur because the
system is run down or toxic and be-
cause a hair follicle or so-called
"sebaceous gland in the skin has
become infected, usually with the
germ, "Staphyloccus Pyogenes
Aureus"
Therefore, the way to prevent
boils is first to keep the body in
the pink of health. Secondly, the
skin must be kept as clean as pos
sible, especially in the area where
boils are most likely 10 appear.

gives the germs a chance to gain
foothold and multiply. The arm.
pits and the inside of the joint
surfaces are also likely breeding
places for hollis.
Boils may occur from diseased
organs remote from the place
where the boil appears. This iE
often the case when one crop OF
boils after another appears.
In these instances 1t is always
we'll to investigate the teeth, gums
and mouth cavity in general, also
the nose and the ears, for possible
sources of infection.
Children, of course, are often
subject to boiIs and from the same
causes as those which affect
adults.
However, children often keep on
injecting themselves by picking
or scratching a boil and carrying
infected material by way of the
fingers to other parts of the skin.
Exactly what Is best to do in
case of boils and carbuncles is
somewhat of moot question.
To be sure, the general health
should be improved as much as
possible. In severe instances this
may mean a vacation and a
change Of climate. Exercise, out
of.door recreation. proper food in
take and proper elimination, posi-.
bly, a tonic-any or all of these
general remedies are desirable,
But as to the boil itself What
to do7 Some hold that the boil
should be opened when it first
appears as slight swelling Of the
skin with a white speck in the
center Others claim it is best to
let them get "ripe"-that is, fully
developed--and then either open
them or let them open by them
selves.

worthy" ones, who are perpetu-
ally telling me the TRUTH.
To this day I hate the Brutal
little boy who first told me that
there wasn't any Santa Claus.
He robbed me of nav Fairylsnd,
and dinmed the glamour Of all
my Christmas Ewes, forever and

the photogra pher who uses his
skill and his imagination to make
me look like prize beauty.
HE'S the artist!
I hate the first man who con-
fessed that he had lied TO me.
Why couldn't he have gone right

hate people who tell me that

for the thrilling feats: that my
favorite blonde is purely chem.

uses a ghost writer"
I hate the woman who tells me
that I'm not the type for sport
clothes. why can't she say that
they make me look "cute" or
younger or snappier-and let me
go on dreaming?

cruel truth about my favorite

suuabbles, their human weak
nesses and pettinesses. need my
ideals to live by. And what do l

D. T.. Hunt. chief engineer OF
Chevrolet Motor Company. who had
ehsrge Of all engineering work dur
inE the four.year period which Chey,
roiet was engaged In the task Of
developing its new six cylinder en-.
zine, yesterday reviewed some Of
the problems involved in the task,
atrsssing particularly the new design
Of the combustion chamber.
ssIn developing the new six-cyiin-
der engine, Ii was found desirable
to use the highest permissible conl-
preston IN order to obtain a high
horsepower output and maximum
ecoAe enny." Hunt said.
Research Extensive
aon account OF the disadvantages
OF nigh compression with improper
deslgn, the first assignment Of the
enafSieering division was to obtain
fundamental data. In connection
witH this work. we had at our dis.
posal the entire resources Of the
Genraf Motors research depart.
'sfnasmuch as the combustion
chamber may be considered the
heart OF the engine because all the
energy or work must be created
within Il, Ii was very important
that this part of the design be cor
rect SO as to take full advantage
OF high compression.
first Of all. We found that the
combustion had to be controlled to
eliminate what Is commonly known
as spark knock. A controlled com
bustion was also necessary in order
to relieve the mechanism of shock
which to the ordinary iaynan -
known as 'rOughness.
s1n order to determine the fun.
dainental characteristics OF our
combustion. 1t was necessary 70
determine upon the actual expio-
sion time. that Is the exact time
to complete the burning of our mix.
ture. TO do this, a great deal Of
work was done with bombs, IS Pc
ciaE instruments designed and butt
to measure this small fraction OF
time.
Overhead Design
t1nasmuch as turbulence enters
into this problem somewhat, the
effects of various shapes IN turbul'
ence were studied. It was also
necessary to know the volume OF
each section of our combustion
chamber, as the flame progressed
across from the spark plug to the
farthest point. Because IL the
volume burned at any section was
not in proportion to the whole, then
roughness would ensue. The detona.
tion or spark knock Is controlled
because the chamber has been de.
signed to draw off excess heat from
the burning mixture.
after the research work was
completed. enough information was
obtained so that we could really
determine characteristics Of the
explosion by a mathematical com.
putafion.
'.The overhead design OF engine
was material aid In helping US
develop this particular combustion
chamber design as the extreme
depth in the head afforded plenty
OF room in which to fold the com.
bustion chamber and locate the
spark plug as desired.
'The result obtained from this
careful study Of the problem pro.
vides smooth, even explosion
such as is commonly found in the
skyrpeket in contrast to the sharp
and short explosion in a com
