er the firing spark from 500 to 1900
times per minute, according to the
speed of the engine. The temperature
around the firing points varies, after
the engine is warmed, from 800 to
1900 degrees Fahrenheit, the average
being around 1900. In most motors,
also, oil is constantly being spllashed
on and burned off the plugs.
This tremendous heat and stress, due
to the rapidly alternating compression
and firing strokes, gradually effects
the spark plugs efficiency, no matter
how we'll they may be made. They
will continue to fire and ignite the
cylinder mixtures indefinitely, but
combustion is not nearly 50 complete.
The products of combustion gradual
ly adhere to the surface of the core
and eventually induce leakage of the
electric current. This after a time
weakens the spark. The electrodes,
pitted and oxidized by the heat and
the incessant sparkling, increase cleo

trical resistance.
As the spark loses its intensity at
the firing points engine operation is
necessarily impaired. Full power is not
obtained. The engine becomes slug
gish. Acceleration is slower. Starting
is more difficult. The engine lacks
pull on the hills. Unconsumed gaso-
line seeps down past the pistons and
dilutes the crankcase oil, affecting lu-
IRRIGATION and many times causing Sc
frious injury to working parts.
This process is so slow that If the
smotorist notices it at all he is likely to
attribute it to carbon, poor oil or some
other incorrect cause. The operation
is actually about the same as driving
with a partially retarded spark or too
rich a mixture.
( The installation of a new set of
plugs every 10000 miles, or at least
once a year, proves a revelation to the
motorist who has not experienced its
advantages in other years. Starting is

By o. C. ROHDE, Chief Engineer
Champion Spark Ping Co.

Just as car owners now realize the
economy and efficiency of changing
engine oil at regular intervals, they
are now learning that it also pays to
renew all spark plugs every 10000
miles or at least once a year. Expert
ence and advice in the operating in
struction books which manufacturers
supply with every car are rapidly
spreading the gospel of changing spark
plugs by the set, SO that all the cylin-
.ders are benefited and the engine is
brought up to its high mark in per-
Torrance.
This year it is more important than
before to change spark plugs, for
Champion has just announced its new
and patented product which prevents
the possibility of fouling by SCOT or
carbon and of pre-ignition, the two
major causes of spark plug failure and
engine stoppage.
That efficient spark plugs only
should be used at all times is proved
in theory, in the laboratory and in
actual tests in thousands of cars on
the road. These new spark plugs more
han pay for themselves by the saw
ings they effect and by their improve
nent in engine performance.
Practically every type of internal
combustion engine fires its charge ev-
cry other revolution of the crankshaft.
This means that the plugs must deliv-

better. There is more speed. Engine
operation is improved in every way.
And the owner actually saves more
than the cost of the new spark plugs
in oil and gasoline alone.

Washington Fashions
BY WILMA LAVILLE

This years fashions have a
great many points that are
splendid for the older woman,
Many women say, just from
habit, IT can't wear the new
things, before they stop to
realize that they can if they
just buy the right new things.
First and foremost, remember
that you can get good adapta-
tions of youthful clothes, and
you don't have to have some
thing that looks old. Be sure
the cut is adapted so it will fit
your figure, for good fit is of the
utmost Importance for anybody,
not tight fit, but just enough
room, with seams and curves
smooth.
COlOrs Flattering
This years colors are splendid
for every woman, soft blues
both light and dark, prints in
small patterns that make you
look small, pastels, white and
black, as we'll as the purple and
black that some women think
they must stick to. It is we'll
to avoid extremes in either line
or color, just remembering that
simplicity is the keynote of all
good taste. Jackets are boon
to women of all ages and types,
and not only are they becoming
and easy to wear, but they
make a dress twice as practical,
as you can change it's whole
appearance by leaving the
jacket off.
In Large Sizes
For immediate wear, printed
sheers are smartest and most
useful. We've sketched one that
has much to recommend it, and
besides, it comes in sizes 38 to
so. It is of a very sheer material
resembling georgette, and is in
navy with white dots, or other
small prints. The lace vestee
and jacket effect are sure to be
becoming, and the hip yoke
makes for good fit. The sleeve
has a flounce at the elbow which
makes the lower arm look
smaller, and the skirt is rather
