1t is not always an easy matter tC
know when one of the new. extremely
! quiet motors has started. if cranEing is
done in noisy environment. There are
however. several ways of telling in
stantly when the engine gets under way
One is to watch the pointer of the am
meter, which will Immediately show 4
higher reading. Another tip is the oil
pressure gauge. which will start to reg

cranking in the garage it is sometimes
advisable to lift one side of the hood

touching the starter button again.
A service man tells me that if he
were a woman motorist he would insist
upon having the condenser replaced
every time the car is in the shop for
a tune-up of the ignition. He would
have new condenser put in even if
the old one seemed to be working all
right. His point is that this simple, and
inexpensive. precaution would save one
of these electrical breakdownS which
leave one high and dry on the open
road For some strange reason. while
the condenser is one of the little things
that is apt to pop Off any time and
accounts for many a roadside break
down, few men who go out on a rescue
call remember to take along spare
one.
This furnishes logical excuse for
me to introduce the condenser and ex-
plain its function. Roughly. the idea is
that this device prevents current from
bouncing back" when it is suddenly
interrupted in the circuit If this action
were not checked the breaker points
would suffer You do not need to be
mechanically inclined to reason that
where the breaker points need attention
too frequently the condenser probably
needs replacing I'm telling you this

Copperhead Not Really
Vicious In Its Attacks

The general horror of the copper
head snake grows in part from the
false belief that this snake is VIC
ious reptile which attacks quickly and
without warning. This Is only true In
part. The copperhead will attack
without warning, unlike its relative
the rattiesnake, but 1t will not at.
tack unless disturbed and then Is by
no means swift in its action.
The real danger from copperheads
lies in the possibility Of coming In
contact with it when picking some
object from the ground or reaching
into bushes where the eye cannot fol-
low the hand. The snake in reality
Is sluggish. Its usual habitat is damp
areas plentifully supplied with rocks.
For food, it turns chiefly to field mice.
The distribution Of the copperhead
II fairly general although 1t is most
plentiful in the New England states.
In other areas it is known as the cop
per belly, the pilot, the red-eye and
the red adder.

China, is the richest Of all regions

be regarded as the home Of most Of

scattered over the earth. Nearly 500

Walter Duranty, the Moscow cor

"The decree stipulates that all
workers shall henceforth receive ra.

out which neither will be obtainable
save at prohibitive prices in the open
markets.
"The books will be distributed at
the places of employment under the
direct control of the management, and
the workers must buy their goods or
food from their respective factory
stores.
"Thus rations will be issued only to
actual workers and members of their
families unable to work through age
or infrmity.

Truths POndered While

BY Mr.. MOdestus-

Hindus have for centuries wor.
shipped the Ganges river.
They call it the "holy Mother Gan
ges."
1t is said to have performed mir
acles-healed diseases and cripples.
To drink its waters has been count
ed a religious act; to battle in it
worship;
Yet the Ganges flows through {
sub-tropical country, infested with
vermin.
1t is thronged with snakes, water
animals, fowl and humans.
It's basin gathers drainage from 6
disease-smitten and deadly land.
And it has been just about what
it is, for hundreds of years.
Nevertheless, it has gained, and
has held, the reverence of keen minds
A tumbler-full, examined under a
microscope, reveals menagerie of
microbs.
Yet it is claimed that this water
cures the very diseases which accom-
pany the presence of these microbes.
The world knows anti-toxin, and
to cure diphtheria and other bacterial
ailments.
1t has been said that every toxin
or poisonous bacteria-breeds its own
anti-toxin.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1933-02-03

This anti-toxin is sometimes call
ed "bachteroiphage"-in that it is
supposed to feed upon the disease
producing bacteria.
And, of course, the proper feeding
ground for bacteriophage is a place
where there is plenty of bacteria.
Well, that is just what the Ganges
river has been, for centuries.
Germs of cholera and the black
death, of typhoid and enteric fever
Germs brought in by every ancient
invasion, from Tartars, Mohamme-
dams, Greeks-they have all been de-
posted in the keeping of Mother
Ganges.
But the Ganges water seems to be
harmless-even beneficial
Doubling Thomases from scientific
schools would believe only their own
senses-when these were aided by
modern scientific equipment.
They filtered the Ganges water,
through instruments that should
have left no smallest microscopic
form of bacterial life.
Into test tube, they poured a
culture of germs of cholera, dysen-
terry and enteric fever, milky in color
Into this culture of virulent di-
sease they poured the filtered water
from the Qanges-apparentiy a
clear, innoculous fluid.
And the milkiness disappeared; the
water clarified.
Then with their microscopes they
examined the transformed water, and
found traces of the dead microbes Of
disease.
Mother Ganges had performed her
miracle"
Now, the diphtheria anti-toxin will
not cure nor prevent smallpox.
The tuberculin used for cattle has
10 effect upon typhoid.
But the bacteriophage of the Gan
res meets and vanquishes them all.

Journal Seems to Make
Point for "Sideburns"

''There is no such word as side
burns" says learned correspondent,
objecting to our use Of this verbal
conglomeration" in place Of the older
phrases "burnsides," "sldeboards" and
mutton chops" We accept, with
grateful interest, his account of the
genealogy Of the phrase, but we deny
its illegitimacy. The family tree which
he gives establishes the purity of its
pedigree; and even without such i'm
pressive family papers we insist that
a word is word IL 1t Is used as q
word.
Mutton chops" dates back to the
early Gladstonian era, according to
the compendious but somewhat out.
dated new English dictionary. "Side-
board" is venerable enough to have
attained notice In Webster's American
dictionary; but neither "burnsldes"
nor "sideburns" appears in either OF
these repositories Of chronological wis
dom. It may be, as our correspond
ent suggests, that General Burnside's
tonsorial vagaries led to the substitu.
| tion OF his name, during the Civil war,
| for the earlier phrase "sideboard," and
th0 'sideburns' Is merely confused
rendering Of the old generals name.
But the phrase stuck; 1t Is the cur
rent usage today; and we stalwartly
maintain that 1t IL usage and not an
cestry which gives meaning to word.
Mutton chops" are seldom seen today,
but the phrase Is well understood ;
