At that time none of thein was considered very reliable and their development was slow. Cam* Out in 1906. ••As an Illustration of the prevailing situation, along about 1906 when automobiles began making their appearance in increasing numbers, a new speedometer came out. It was much larger than the present day speedometer and operated like a barograph-- recording with an inked needle on a roll pf paper the^ speed, time uud even stops of k car." This was hailed as a promising improvement and caused quite a bit of interest in engineering circles. From that time on, the evolution of the instrument went through mi>ny stages, until today we havte speedometers as near perfect as it is possible to make them. "The speedometer has two independent units, each driven from the same shaft--a 'speed' unit to tell how fast you are going and an 'odometer' unit to tell how far you have gone. The speed unit is driven directly by a flexible cable connected to the engine transmission. Tills cable drives a steel spider or rotor that spins around inside of an aluminum cup which is mounted on a jeweled bearing and is marked to read in miles per hour. This entire assembly is placed between the poles of a permanent horse-shoe magnet. As the car moves along the road, the rotor is driven by the flexible shaft, and a 'magnet drag' between the rotor and the horse-shoe magnet causes the aluminum cup to turn against a hair spring, the amount ot turn being directly proportional to the car spe#d. "The hair spring returns the cup to 'zero' when the car stops, and by offering a uniform resistance against turning, keeps the readings steady at all speeds. "In order that the speedometer will accurately function at all speeds, it is checked at several intermediate speeds and the magnet adjusted to give the correct readings. This makes Ihe instrument accurate over it* «Bx a f c g & " ; v • T How It Operate*. "The odometer tinit that tells you how far you have gone is driven by a worm gear from a flexible cable and records both season and trip mileage. Every time the cable turns 1,008 times an additional mile is recorded oa the first odometer wheel. Every ten miles on the first wheel, the second wheel is moved one reading, and so on, the maximum reading being 99,999 miles. The 'trip' of the odometer operates the same as the 'season" part but it can also be reset to zero or any mileage desired. It reads up to 99.9 miles and is used to measure the distance traveled on any trip. '"All speedometer heads are geared alike--variations ot size tires and rear axle ratios, etc., are taken care of by different combinations of speed .drive gears in the transmission. Under- inflation of tires, excessive load, and rough roads are conditions that will cause slight inaccuracies of speederr. Pier indications." oooooooooooooooooooooooooo AUTOMOBILE NOTES OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Timing gears are a frequent cause of aggravating noises in motors.

Honolulu Schools Have Effective Safety Plan That education as a preventive of accidents is being accepted everywhere, is shown by a bulletin recently received by the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club, which says that safety education in the schools of Honolulu has been so effective that not a single child has been fataily injured near a public school during the past six years. The bulletin points out that: "The bureau of education. Department ot the Interior, explains that about » junior police officers guard street In tersections In the vicinity of tiltschool buildings, aud that in addition practical safety lessons are given daily In the pri:uary grades. A local newspaper publishes a snfety , lesson each week which rray be used In school instruction.

It is h "heavenly silence," at least, to one Richard Pain, who becomes reminiscent In a recent issue of the Autocar Messenger. Writes Mr. Pain: **t can lemember. 60 or 70 years ago, when most of our streets were stone paved, and on those where macadam was used they were seldom kept in good condition, the consequence being that the rumble and the rattle of traffic far exceeded the noise of today. The noise of present traffic compared to that of the time I refer to is, in my opinion, a 'heavenly silence' much to be appreciated by those who, like myself, are old enough to remember the shocking condition of our streets and public vehicles 70 years ago." Car's Ignition System Should Be Checked Up Poor pick-up, slow getaway and lack of power in automobiles in most cases are simply due to poor ignition service and are no fault of the car. This is the opinion of automotive engineers, who recommend that the car's ignition system be checked re^u that necessary minor adjustments be made to insure carefree and economical operation. A check of the Ignition system by a competent mechanic Is necessary at least ev<?ry 10.000 mtloo the ciifeiii' ers say, to make sure the battery, cables, breakers and ppark plugs are working satisfactorily.

Vr. awfe" . . CULL AND MARK PRODUCING HEN a season of year when flocks , of poultry should be culled, according to L. H. Schwartz of Purdtie university. Getting rid of the nonproducers now means better living conditions for the birds which are left. It gives the better birds a chance to produce eggs from now on when the price of eggs begins to rise. It will also reduce the feed bill. Poultry flocks should, of course, be culled regularly. Any birds which show indications of positive sickness, poor laying capacity and lacking in vigor should be culled whenever seen. This is the time when a number of birds will take a vacation from laying. The nonlaying bird will show a comb which Is either dried or beginning to dry up, a close space between the pelvic bones and keel and between the pelvic bones themselves. The longer they are out of laying the heavier may be the deposit of fat on' the pelvic bones. The birds may also be In a molt All molting may not be doe to poor laying. It may be the result of feeding a ration which is not high in protein. Purdue" university recommends the following ration to feed to laying birds: Grain, 300 pounds yellow corn and 200 pounds of wheat; mash, 100 pounds each of ground yellow corn, wheat bran and middlings and 75 pounds of meat scrap. It Is very desirable also not only to cull the birds now, but to mark those which show every indication of being high producers. Those birds which show no molt have a large body capacity and have a large soft abdomen are the ones which should be marked as possible breeders for another year. Many folks who have culled their flocks at this season of the year have received, actually, more eggs from the remainder of the flock than they did when they had the culls in with the w hole flock. » Whitewash Henhouse in Fall for Winter Use A coat of whitewash or cold water white paint on the inside walls of the poultry house will brighten up the Interior and make It lighter during the Kl;,ter truths w'aeu tiie lieu needs all the liglit she cun g t. To make whitewash: Slack a half bushel of quicklime or lump lime with boiling water, keeping It covered during the process. Strain It and add a peck of salt dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice boiled In water until it is a thin paste, a half pound ot,powdered Spanish whiting, and a pounfr of clear blue dissolved in water. Mix these together well and let the mixture stand for several days. Heat it and apply as hot as possible with a whitewash brush. Alam added to whitewash will make it stick better. Use an ounce to a gallon. Molasses makes the lime more soluble and makes it penetrate wood or plaster more deeply. Use a pint of molasses to a gallon of whitewash. A pound of cheap bar soap dissolved In gallon of boiling water and added to five gallons of thick whitewash will give the finished job a gloss like that of an oil pafet. !

The butt end of the feather quill of growing bird contains juices which are essential to its satisfactory development, and the wini; feathers should therefore..be cut, unless the poultryman wishes his birds to undergo a setback. / Probably it is cheaper in the long run to buy a good commercial pullet mash, ready mixed, rather than to mix one's own ingredients. Several well known firms ^f feed merchants supply excellent pullet mashes at a price which justifies the saving of labor and possible noting, however, tb t It is more than advisable to deal with a reputable firm In this matter. Good Mash Feed What Is a good mash? That- depends. If you have plenty of skliii milk for your fowls, say a gallop dally to 30 hens, why then a mixture of such feeds as wheat middlings, ground oats, wheat bran and corn meal will do very nicely--with maybe a little meat scraps or high-grade tankage to tempt the appetite. Bur if you have no skim inilk, the mash should contain 15 to 20 per cent of meat scraps or high-grade tankage with the other feeds mentioned. Hens to Select In selecting hens pick those that have capacity for feed. The little short, dumpy kind of a hen canndt consume enough feed to make her a profitable layer. Chickens with good capacity and good appetitlA are the ones that fill the egg basket If chickens eat a lot of feed and still do not lay, it Is time to look at the ration and find out what is lacking. One of the faults of many feeders le that they do not give their hens enough feed, rather than too much. < 0, W. KLONTZ, M. D.
