COPPER CENTER YOUTHS
 WILL LEARN ID FLY

Harold Gillian, head of the Gill; lam Airways, operating in the Copper River Valley section, ar- rived at fairbanks recently ana intended to leave there for Copper Center with a small plane pur- chased by two boys there, accord ing to the Fairbanks News-Mlner.
 The plane, a Golden Eagle, was sold by Game Warden Sam O' White to Hector Mclean and Eddle Dehart. They will be taught 10 fly by Gillian.
 The flier said the NabeSna quartz mine is looking better ev- cry day and there is every lndlca- tion it is going to be big mine. About 1000 worth of ore is gong through the mill daily now. Con- centrates are shipped to the States and they are ferried from the mine by Gillian.
 He will start hauling in 10000 pounds of gasoline and will bring out a like poundage of concen- trates.
 Ore has been struck at three different levels in three different tunnels, he said. The mill will be operated until the freeze-up and development work will contln- ue through the winter.

WHISPERS HAD
 THEIR CONTEST
 OF FIVE WEEKS
Idle Barbers Can Now GO Back to Work and Slash Their Old Cus- toners Once More

Centralia. Wash, Aug --UP) The whisker contest is over, the men of Centralia came, out of the brush and Centralia barbers went back to their work to-day after five weeks idleness.
 The end of the southwest Wash ington pioneer picnic meant the whiskered male populace of this thriving town were privileged to have their hirsute adornments trimmed or removed.
 Practically every type of beard and mustache handed down by hirsute stylists from the days of Sir Walter Raleigh were displayed by the proud males at the con- cluding ceremonies at Borst park last night. There were side burns, Van Dykes. handle bar" mIstaches, red, black and brown Soatees and a wide assortment of facial growths whose popularity bloomed in grandfathers day.
 oddly enough. q barber, W. A. Edwards. who had nothing else to do but grow beard, claimed the major share of attention with his facial hedge. Reid Conrad, q transfer man. and Dr G. F. Hack ney run Edwards a close race.

In applying this factor the general rule followed has been to include with the cen tral city all surrounding contigu- ous minor civil divisions Gowns, etc.) having density of not less than 15O inhabitants per square mile, but to include also any minor civil division of less density If it directly adjoins the central city or is nearly surrounded by other min or civil divisions that have the re-
 quired density. This rule was adopted only after a careful com parative study had been made of the areas surrounding the larger cities of the United States.

 "The Bureau of the Census has established a metropolitan district for Waterbury, Connecticut. hay ing an area of 206.66 square miles and . total population in 1880 of 14O,575, of which 99,902 is in the city of Waterbury and 40,673 Is outside.

 One of the most elusive trouble makers for the innocent motorist is that confined in the electrical system, from the battery to the headlights, through the generator coils, distributor and spark plugs
 Tse car suddenly refuses to move. The engine won't turn over There isn't puff in cylinder.
 Most likely the cause lies in the electrical system. But where to To- cate the trouble is the problem. Perhaps it's only the switch gone wrong. Or it may be a faulty dis tributor.
 Sometimes, however the trouble is more mysterious and unyielding to the efforts of the amateur elec- trician at the wheel.
 Electrical engineers classify such troubles into five groups They are:
 I. Failure from reasona ble 2. Failure due to maintenance neglect.
 ,. Failure to install first-class apparatus.
 4. Faulty design, material and $. Failure due to climatic con- ditions.
 Electrical apparatus wears both mechanically and electri- calIy, The bearings, brushes and commutator of the generator wear down with use. COrrosion, mols- ture and oil reduce resistance of the dielectric or insulator around the wires and short circuits re- suit. Vibration gradually weakehs a soldered joint, especially at the switch on the dash.
 The heat of the engine causes expansion of the wires, and con traction results when the engine cools down, This constant expan- sion and contractoin finally results in weakening the wires and re- ducing their conductivity. Arma- . ture windings are especially SUD- feet to these changes.
 These forms of wear cannot he detected by ordinary search. They require the use of special appa- ratus. A responsible garage cleo trician must be consulted.
 Maintenance neglect may be due to lack of fabrication in the generator or other ignition unit. A drop of oil every so often IS es- sential in such places as the gen. orator bearings and the distributor. The distributor also must be kept clean and the points should be prevented from biting.
 The battery, however, is the part most often neglected. Let the owner keep the terminals clean and tight. and the plates always under the surface of the solution and he will find little trouble due to maintenance, at least here.
 
 The faults of the manufacturer in installing units of insuIIicien. capacity. or of faulty design. are hardly in the owners category That bespeaks the car and It's reputation.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-13
HOW'S SHE HITTIN'?

Climatic conditions cant be forseen, except as they concern seasonal chances from winter to summer. These, however, cause more trouble with the battery than with other parts of the electrical system, and therefore such troubles can be more easily avoided.
 For instance, 1t is generally known that the battery requires less charging during the long sum- mer days than in winter, and 90 the charging rate of the generator should be lowered.
 The owner should see, of course, that the battery Is always well charged, but not overcharged, that the terminals are clean and the cells kept filled with water.
 Constant watch on this import ant unit will avoid much of the trouble that might arise in the electrical system.
