Jessica Adams, a young Negro girl, neatly dressed, is sitting at a table, peeling potatoes. Her old bent grand. father, a boy made up as a Negro with a bald head and white beard, is sitting in @ big chalr. . JESSICA: But, Gran'fathah, you don't really b'lieve in things like that! GRANDFATHER: B'lleve in 'em! Bho Ah does. Chile, when youah old as Ah is, you-all won't talk like dat. JESSICA: My teachah says ft silly to be all the time b'lieving in old sup'stitions. GRANDFATHER: Don't know nothin' 'bout sup'--sup'-- JESSICA: Stitions, GRANDFATHER: Don't know nothin' 'bout stishuns, but Ah does know you cain't take no chances with Jba'nts an' luck an' things like dem. Heah's dis cle rabbit foot in mah pocket. Bin carryin' it yeahs an' yeahs. You think dat don' bring good luck? Nevah begun to have real good luck till Ah got dat rabbit's foot. Lef' hin' leg of a rabbit, dat's what it am. Caught in a graveyard at midnight, Cain't no bad luck come to a pusson with a rabbit's foot like dis un. If Ah lose dat rabbit's foot Ab jose mah luck. Don' make no diffunce what youah teachah or de pres' t say. Luck am luck. Rabe bit's Joot am rabbit's foot. Dat's all, (Grandfather alips rabbit's foot into pocket of his old, tattered coat.) JESSICA: All right, Gran'fathah, have it---oh, I forgot to tell you. The sugah is all gone. I want to have suppah all ready when mothah comes back. Won't you go down to the stoah? I can't leave the cooking. GRANDFATHER: Aw right, honey, aw right. (He gets up slowly and hobbles toward the door.) JESSICA: That's a nice gran'fathah. (She puts her arm around his shoul- ders and pats him on the arm. As she draws her hand away she' slips it into his coat pocket and pulls out the rabbit's foot. Then she opens the door for him.) Now don't stop to talk with some of youah friends, Gran'- fathah. It's late, (Jessica closes the door behind him, and, grinning, holds up the rabbit's foot, She crosses the room and places the "charm" in the drawer of the table.) JESSICA: Poah gran'fathah an' his rabbit's foot! Wondah what he'll do when he finds {t's gone. Prob'ly he'll be positive he's going to be run ovah, or the house will bu'n up or some- thing. (Glances at clock.) It's most time foh mothah to be heah. Cuess I'd bettah look at the meat again. (Bhe starts toward the kitchen, but as she does so the door opens and Grandfather comes in.) GRANDFATHER: Jessica! Where am dat chile! JESSICA: Heah, Gran'fathah. GRANDFATHER: What you-all think Ah foun' right out by dis house? A dollah, right on dat side- walk! Ain't dat luck! Look! (Holds up coin.) JESSICA: 1 #"pose you think that's youah rabbit's foot again? GRANDFATHER: Dat"s right. Dat's right. Dat's some rabbit's foot. If Ah didn't have dat rabbit's foot Ah wouldn't 'a' found dis dollah. JESSICA: (Goes to table and gets rabbit's foot, which she holds in front of Grandfather, She grins.) Look heah, Granfathah. 1 took It from youah pocket. (Grandfather Jooks his astonish. ment. He drops loosely into his chair, Then he takes the dollar from his pocket, and, without looking at it, throws it through the open window.) JESSICA: Gran'fathah! What did you do that foh? GRANDFATHER: Why, chile, Ah knowed without lookin' at it dat 'it was plugged--jus' mah luck when I didn't have dat rabbit's foot, TO-DAY'S PUZZLE When the following boys' names ve been straightened out, and the ames arranged properly, the first etters "will spell the name of a lead- ng official of the United States: Ronmna,' groege, dowhra, wednar, gnivrl, phira, idvad.

Better Vaporization For Old Type Engines Special Intake Heating Is Essential Under Existing Fuel Conditions NGINES OF CARS WHICH WERE BUILT a number of years ago and are thus unprovided with means for heating the intake system, and improving fuel vaporization, such as hot spots in the intake passages and combined exhaust and intake manifolds, can generally be considerably improved as to gasoline economy, quickness of attaining normal operation, and freedom from oil dilution and rapid carboniza- tion by the installation of extemporized devices for heating the mixture delivered by the carburetor. Many of these older engines have an inutake- pipe, extending upward from the carburetor, which divides into the manifold branches and it is to this vertical portion of the intake that heat can be most readily applied. In this case, a cylindrical jacket can be made of sheet metal, so formed that its ends or heads will fit tightly wround the intake pipe and so as to provide an ample space for hot gas between the pipe and the jacket wall. The jacket should have set Into its wall, near its upper end, a fitiing to take a standard size of all metal flexible tubing. To apply the jacket, the intake pipe can be sawed off close to the carburetor flange, the jacket slipped on and the carburetor flange welded back into place and in the case of long vertical pipes, the jacket need not always be of the full length possible. A hole is drilled and tapped in the exhaust manifold, of correct size to take a fitting to which the other end of the flexible tube is attached, and the end of this fitting, which screws into the exhaust pipe should be formed to act as a deflector to direct gases into the tubing. This is readily accomplished by making it of a short plece of pipe, sawed longitudinally for a short distance and with one-half of the sawed part removed, the concave face of the remaining part being within the exhaust pipe and pointed in the direction from which the gases are moving. To give the hot gas a circulation through the jacket and to let out moisture, a number of small holes are punched In its lower head, but if one is "Anicky" about odor, another tube can be attached near the bottom of the jacket and lead down under the car. Such a simple Intake heating device often makes usable and fairly economical an old engine which could hardly be made to perform without it, especially in cold weather. A hot air supply for the carburetor is always required in such cases. SPECIAL ATOMIZING DEVICES| REPLACING 18-V. BATTERY E. E.

By arresting large drops of gasd- line so that the air current ato- mises them, by subjecting them to artificially created whirling cur rents of air or diverting liquid gas- oline, on the manifold walls, into the air stream, in a finely subdivid- ed condition, devices of this class are capable of performing a serv- ice, the benefit of which lies In more complete combustion, in less carbon-forming distillation of fuel on the piston head, and in reduced tive terminal of the other.

Mothers Know That ~ Genuine Castoria Testing The Suspected Spark-Plug --- Oreating Discharge Conditions That Reproduce Compression Efecta UST BECAUSE A SPARK PASSES between {ts points, when a plug is laid on the engine and current is sent into it, is no sign that this occurs in service, when the points are surrounded with compressed gas, which offers a high resistance to the electrical scharge, as compared with that of the outside air, When core insula- tion is defective, thie discharge is likely to pass over or through it and no spark take place between the points. To test the insulating quality of the core, the discharge resistance between the sparking points must be made equal or somewhat greater than it is under compression, and if tt 2 spark passes under these conditions the plug is probably serviceable. It the discharge path for the spark can be made 3 inch, Instead of the 1-22 Inch usually allowed, it will make up for the effects of compression. In the case of a plug with its outside or grounded electrode of wire, this can be bent away from the central or live spark point to give the quarter Inch gap and if the spark passes all right, tlie core insulation may be considered ;sound---at least when it is cold. If it is not desirable to bend the wire electrode, for fear of breaking it, the spark gap can be lengthened as follows: Take a strip of stove or insulating mica and introduce its edge between the plug points. This will cause the dis- charge to pass around the edge of the mica and thus follow an elongated path, which if a quarter inch in length, will indicate that the core still offers effective insulation. Unless a special testing outfit is available, the suspected plug is laid on the block of the running engine, one of its plug cables being disconnected and used to supply the testinz current. Before a test is made, the cable terminal should be held % inch away from the engine block, to be sure it will give a spark of that length, 8.
