World Growing Warmer,
But by Slow Degrees

According to DR.. ]. w. Hum
phreys, a famous physicist and
weather expert, the trend is toward
a hotter earth; but the warming-up
process is so slow there is no cause
for fearing the heat will torture this
generation or several to come. In
fact, Doctor Humphreys says, next
summer may be delightfully."- cool.
The evidence is that glaciers in all
parts of the world have been on the
average slowly retreating since the
elimination of the ice age, and they
are still slowly retreating. We are
quite aware that the ice sheet left
Stockholm, Sweden, about 1900 years
ago and left Niagara falls about %
600 or 10000 years ago. The prog
ress of heat increase in Great Britain
and the rest of the world is
nothing to get excited about, Doctor
Humphreys says. There always will
be temporary flurries of high or low
temperatures for a season, for a year
or for period of years. but the
average over any consecutive period
of twenty years is practically the
same as over any other twenty con-
secutive years of which there is Off
cial record.-Montreal Family Herald.

Give Ignition System
Very Careful Attention

The effect of frost on the battery
should be taken into consideration. If
a battery freezes the plates will be
damaged. Fortunately a battery is
likely to freeze only when it is in a
discharged condition, and the solu-
ton has become weak. Periodical use
should be made of a battery hydrom-
eter to test the state of charge. If the
acid is down TO 100 specific gravity
Is degrees Fahrenheit of frost will
freeze it. At 1160 specific gravity de-
grees above zero will cause freezing.
At 1920 specific gravity the battery
is practically safe and will not freeze
at 80 below zero. A specific gravity
of 1910 will withstand freezing at
80 below zero.
In winter it is specially important
to keep the acid level well above the
tops of the plates.
The majority Of car owners would
be further well advised to make use
Of the help of tn, service stations if
they would avoid the inconvenience
of battery or ignition trouble in win
ter. There is little they can do them
selves, and the service station is well
equipped for the work.

Headlines Often Fail to
Include Most Meritorious

The headlines often fail to include
the worthy in football. The most
widely advertised lineman in the West
ern conference was Wade Woodwork,
the Northwestern guard. He was spec
tacular. A red-headed giant, he
played without headgear. He also
played without stockings. Red-head-
ed and bare-legged he was easily iden-
tilted on the field. He was aggressive,
and in practically every game there
were arguments with Woodwork as
the central figure.
But the best lineman that North
western had was Clark, the center.
He was one of the best lineman Of the
year, and after the season, when
Northwestern players and coaches
voted on the most valuable player of
the year, it was Clark, the center, and
not Woodwork, the guard, or Frank
Baker, the excellent end, who was
elected most valuable.

During the winter months the car
owner will be well advised to give
more attention to the battery and the
spark plugs than he may have done
during the summer.
In the summer the engine started
easier and the amount of lighting re-
quired was smaller.
Winter makes heavy demand on the
battery and requires that the igni-
ton system be in good working condi-
ton. Cold engines are stiff and re-
quire a powerful starting effort and
correspondingly heavy discharge of
current from the battery. Cars are
also left standing for longer periods
with the lights supplied by the bat
terry.
Naturally the battery must be kept
in a well charged condition; for win
ter work it should always be kept on
as full charge as conditions will pcs
sibly permit.
Sometimes cable terminals are bad
ly corroded; spark plug points worn
too far apart. This should be rem
edied without delay, as besides caus-
ing hard starting, it seriously lowers
the efficiency of the battery.

According to that poll a literary

The fact that the ballots were cast
when baseball was in retirement and
football was at its peak most likely
accounts for the strange discrepancy.
There is, nevertheless, well-defined
belief that baseball among the young
