far as to say that his garage man told him it would not hurt the generator in the least to run without the battery and further that are several ways you can overcome this if absolutely necessary to oper ate tho car when there is no battery one is to lift the brushes free of tho commutator and another to discon nect the generator drive so that the unit is not running when the engine is operated

material for the army submitted by a wound ed tommy at southampton he was formerly a reporter and on the way over in the steamer he wrote this moving message all i want to say to the people at home is this you can never eat your dinner or smoke a pipe or read a newspaper or go bo the pictures but what while you are getting through with it some scores of your own country men are knocked out by boche bullets and shells theres not the slightest need for you to be depressed about this go ahead with poultry notes see that the chicks are not over crowded remember that as they grow larger they need more room overfeeding often gets away with quite a number of chicks but not as many as die from overcrowded con ditions shade for the chickens during hot weather is as essential as good food they wont thrive if they have to be in the hot sun all day avoid crowding by keeping in small flocks and by providing roomy coops thin out if there are too many chicks broody hens should be removed to slatbottomed coops as soon as dis covered leave them there till they forget it clean fresh water lessens disease flithy drinking water is the source of much trouble clean the drinking pans frequently

from the week t and the even started the engine straight off the generator requiring no battery at all this merely goes to show how very little a great many owners really know about the electrical system for common sense ought to tell that it would have been absolutely impos sible to do any such thing it is just like saying that he ran a steam engine without a boiler or other cource of steam supply to start the engine you must draw the current from the battery in order to send it to the starting motor if there is no battery you have no starting current so much for that as regards run ning without the battery let us say plainly once more do not do it most generators are of the shuntwound type and being of that type of high voltage is built up when there is no provision for using or taking off the current that is produced suppose you were to take a water pump and stop the outlet so that no water could be let out now if you pumped wa ter from the well by working the handle you would be drawing it into the pump and pretty soon something would have to break if there were no way for this water to get out so with the generation the bat tery is there to receive the current generated and when it is not in con nection you are stopping the electri cal outlet without stopping the in let if the engine is running there giving drop of your countrymens blood not this yearlts

his patriotic fervor that he made a fool of himself and ever since his day a man who dis plays a cocky and hysterical patrio tism is called a chauvinist in eng land such a man is called a jingo a jingo is always bragging about his countrys preparedness to fight in germany this form ot patriotism is known as pangermanism in russia it is called panslavism and in the united states it is labelled spread- eagleism the only patriotism which some men seem capable of ex hibiting is a contempt for other na tions and a glorification of their own let us agree that all such patriotism is dangerous as well as silly and let us face the problem of cultivating a patriotism which is rational and chris tian dition of the storage battery beforo starting on a tour as well as to test it occasionally enroute overheating may be caused by several things two of the mosb common causes are lack of water or over harging from the generator a battery kept full of pure distilled water is not nearly so apb to becomo overheated as one in which the solu tion has been allowed to reach a level lower than the top of the plates when these plates are exposed to the air the oxidation which goes on bul ges and wraps them causing short- circuits and considerable damage to the entire battery this often re sults in the entire starting lighting and ignition system being put out of condition beforo starting on a trip the gen erator should be adjusted to supply the battery with the proper amount of current at high speed inasmuch as the driving is generally faster when touring if the generator is not fur nishing current properly it should not bo experimented with but examined by someone who is competent to make the proper adjustment only a thorough electrician should be given a job of this kind and for that reason the willard company insists that their service stations be conducted only by experts who thoroughly un derstand electrical systems from start to finish that time they were full of orders in the early stages of the conflict more attention was paid to field guns and their equipment than to heavy guns but as time went on the require ments for heavy shells greatly in creased in june 1915 we made an mmmmmm evident that it was entirely inadequate to furthest north town longyear city mining record town holds not only is longyear city the most northerly mining town but it bids fair to becomo a place of importance now that a norwegian company has taken over tho vast coal fields of spltzber- gen the enterprise is on a very largo scale tho coal fields which the nor weglan company will dovolop cover an area of over 656 square miles of which oneseventh has been surveyed and it is estimated that this alono will yield something llko 100000000 tons of coal from tho first stratum and tho second stratum will probably yield as much more- thoro are othor coal voiis of which hltlo is yet known tho enter prise is regarded as a national one and oventually thousands of miners

supplies produced monthly great as was turned out first year of war when tho british forces in france began their great offensive bombard ment on june 27 and for days hurled into the german lines such an aval anche of steel and lead as the world had never known before even the people of england expressed wonder that it should have been possible to assemble so vast a store of munitions the story of how these supplies were created constitutes one of the most important chapters in the history of british achievement during the war at the outbreak of hostilities two years ago there were only three im portant government munitions factor ies in the british isles today some four thousand governmentcontrolled firms employing more than 2000000 workers are turning out virtually all of the tremendous amount o war ma terials which have gone to equip the five million british soldiers in the field the organization of this great in dustry has been accomplished in a little more than one year by the min istry of munitions which was estab lished in may 1915 under the leader ship of david lloyd george in that time every available resource of the country has been built for the produc tion of munitions not dependent on us a staff of 5000 people has been re quired to supervise the work at the head of this staff and responsible only to the minister of munitions has been a man whose organizing ability has been accorded widespread recogni tion ho is dr christopher addison internationally known for his medical research work dr addison during an interview with a representative of the associated press told as much of tho story of tho creation of this industry as could be made public at this time at the outset he disposed of the meet the demands there were how ever a great many private firms which could be brought in to mako munitions and it was decided to mobilize them for national service in order to do this we created an organization embracing the entire country thousands of firms have been brought in many of which had never seen a shell body or a fuse or a grenade or a bomb before much less than mado them now mu nition making in some form or other has extended well nigh to every con siderable town indeed to large num bers of villages could have weekly battle t we can now produce in less than a month as many of the lighter shells as could have been turned out in the whole year of 191415 in less than a fortnight we can mako more heavy shells than we could have done in the year 191415 wo can now turn out in a week far more shells filled and complete than were used in tho whole battle of loos which extend ed over a fortnight and they had been saving ammunition for that battle for a month we could have a battle ot loos every week now and it wouldnt touch the shell reserve stock regarding our present capacity for gun production as compared with the capacity of june 1914 be fore the war we are now making in the case ot the lightest guns over ten times what we were then in the case of medium weight guns over 20 times and in the case of heavy guns more than 50 times the production of trench warfare supplies has meant the creation ot an industry ot which there was practically no experience in this country now grenades are being made in backyards and in all sorta of smal shops as well as in the big factories and hundreds of thousanda are being produced weekly labor problem hard one of the most anxious problems has been the supply and the dlstribu tion o skilled labor there was not enough skilled labor to go round this fact was recognized by thej statement which has jy j america not for tje munitions furnished the effect that if it were by the united states great britain would have to quit the war i have heard that statement made said dr addison and it is preposterous of course tho united states has furnished and is furnish ing many raw materials which wo are anxious to get for the manufac ture of munitions but so far as the actual production of shells goes america has provided us with only a very small percentage of those which we have used turning to the manufacturing ot munitions in this country he contin ued every town helps at the beginning ot tho war there were only three important munitions factories in tb ujjued kingdom in addition thw wero a number ot large private munitions and armament firms at the start reliance was placed mainly in thop njjfloiial fac tories and experienced firms and t has received their hearty assistance throughput in the distribution ot skilled labor- and in the dilution of skilled labor with unskilled the in troduction of unskilled labor into the field of skilled labor is a sacrifice oft skilled labor to which no top high tlrbute can be paid skilled men have trained and instructed unskilled workers and in thousands of caes have willingly been mqved from piece work to uy wages with the result that they earned smaller wages than the people they had trained have received at piece
