Homely Women Make Good. The desire to be bedutiful is a nor- ‘mal one and not to be set lightly aside as unworthy, but to make the lack of beauty a cause for unhappiness is not only morbid but stupid, since thousands of women without perfec- tion, efther of form or of feature, have Hved vividly and joyously in spite of the handicap of homeliness.—Virginia Blair in Good Housekeeping.

'NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1916 London, Feb. 21, 9.07 p. m—Bom- bardier Wells knocked out Dick Smith in the third round of their bout to- night for the heavyweight champion- ship of England. Wells, who began nervously, soon regained confidence when he found that he could outbox Smith and landed several left jabs on his opponent in the first round. ¥ In the next round Wells fouglit Smith all over the ring, landing jabs and swings when he liked. Soon after the opening of the third round Wells got home a hard right uppercut, which put Smith to the floor where he Te- mained “out” for several minutes. The Sullivan-O'Keefe fight was a give and take affair. There were sev- eral sharp exchanges in the first round. The men seemed well match- ed but for three rounds Sullivan plain- Iy had the better of it. Honors were even In the next six rounds; then O'Keefe started hurri: cane fighting, in which he demon- strated that he was Sullivan’s master at infighting. The tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth rounds were O'Keefe’s. He received a severe cut over the ye in the fif- teenth, however, and in the sixteenth was nearly knocked out by a_vicious right swing. The bell came to his res- cue. In the seventeenth, also, O'Keefe ‘was badly punished and there was much clinching in the next two rounds In the final round the men fought hard and the exchanges apparently favored Sullivan. There was loud dis- approval from some quarters when the referee gave the decision to O'- Keefe. DREW WINS 75-YARD SPECIAL RACE At Naval Militia Game in Hartford— Meet Largest in History.

Opening prices showed a number of irregular gains, mostly trivial, fol- lowed by general declines, on few of which were retrieved later.

War contract shares as a whole yielded one to two points from last week’s final figures and rails ceased to exercise the slightest in- fluence upon speculative sentiment. Absolute stagnation prevailed dur- ing the last half of the session, rails falling_into complete oblivion. _The tone at the close was heavy. Total sales amounted to 285,000 shares.

In the opinion of MOSt motor experis | the rise in the cost of gasoline may I have some good results if it teaches| | the motorist to be more careful about | | tion_of his engine and the| importance of equipping it with the| right carburetor. The rise in price of gasoline from | 12 to 21 cents can be entirely offset. | If the average gasoline consumption | of the motorist’s car can be increased | from say 10 miles per galion to 15 miles per gallon, that is, on a basis| f gasoline mount-, rer, questions of of 15 miles per gallon, gasoline at 21| cents is no more expensive than 14- | cent gasoline whic produces only 10 It is weil within the power of | most_every motorist to increase m#- | | terlally the efficiency of his car. D.| {H. Buell, a distributor of a certain | carburetor, says that there are two factors for the motorist to give espe- | cial attention if he wants to keep down his gasoline expense. Ome is| the carburetor he uses and its ad-| justment; the other is the condition of his valves. It is very often possible at the| slight expense required for grinding | valves, to so increase the mileage of any motor that the difference is very perceptible in_the gawoline bill. There is also the advantage of more power and a better running engine. Motor- ists would do well if they would pay more attention to the valves in their car, and If it is regularly run, have the valves ground not less than twice a_year, and preferably three times. With modern motor designs, valves are so accessible that this is usually a comparatively emall job, and it will show good results in economy. The most important factor in ob- taining economy is the carburetor. There are a great many carburetors on the market; some of them are very good, and some of them ordinary. Manutacturers, however, who are af- fected by the cost of their cars quite frequently equip their cars with car- buretors which are not well adapted to the economical operation of the motors. It's a strange thing _that some of the most popular cars should not be equipped with carburetors cost- ing the manufacturers but a elight advance, and which would prove de- cldedly more satisfactory to the us- ers. Then there are cars equipped with well made carburetors which are not properly fitted to the particular mo- tor. Few motorists understand that with the better automobiles the car- buretor is as carefully designed to fit the motor as any other part of the machine, and Is in small but fmport- ant detalls different from the same make of carburetor used on other cars. When a motorist purchases a car of this kind, he can be sure of the very best resulis. For a motorist whose car is equip- ped with an inferlor carburetor, there is mothing that will give more pleas- ure, in the improved running of the car, than the purchase of a first class carburetor. 1t will not only result in economy, which wil g0 a long way to- ward offsetting any increase in the cost of gasoline, but it will make the motor more satisfactory in every re- spect. Many thousands of motorists have had this experience, and those who have not vet enjoved it will find a surprise awalting them when they do get a new high grade carburetor. The motor car of today—the light, economical, four-cylinder motor car such as four out of five buyers select s practically twice as good and costs about half as much as the car which three years ago, was a reason- ably eatisfactory article. This is a statement easily suscepti- ble of proof. Nor need we go further thén these three short, lively years to get _all the proof we need. Three years ago the Contest Board of the American Automobile Associa- tion sanctioned what proved to be the most remarkable achievement on its records upto that time. It was an officlally observed run in which a car covered, without a motor stop, a total of_13,404.9 miles. Motordom marveled. So stupendous was the achievement that, for three years, this car remained the endur- ance champion—remained so in spite of the fact that its parent factory had, in the meantime, passed out of exist- ence. But the champion of 1912 has been dethroned. A 1918 touring car now DOINGS I THE AUTO WORLD 'Rise of Gasoline Price May Have Good Results in More Care- ful Attention to Engine—Four Cylinder Car the Machine s a Substitute for Gasoline. twice as great as that of the old champion.” Again motorists stana amazed at the most recent feat of au- tomobile endurance. How great an advance is the car of the present over the car of three years ago is easiest appreciated by a com- on of the details of their record old champion weighed 2600 traveled 12,404.9 miles, aver- aged 400 miles each day, covered 13 /miles to the gallon of gasoline and uld be duplicated in the open mar-| ket for $1500.

The new champion weighed 1950 | pounds, ran 22,022.3 miles, averaged 0 miles a dzy, covered 22 miles to the gallon aifl cost $655. It was pur- posely stopped in first-class rusming | order and in the final 24 hours covered daily distance—more than | The feats of both cars are beyond question. Both were rigidly examined and passed as stock. Both made their records under the most careful scrut- ing by A. A. A. technical experts. Both | were fully equipped cars and the| motors which held th etitle were both of four cylinders, avoiding complica- tion and retaining a_characteristic universal among cars that set world's | records. | There is a_definite reason for the| superiority of the modern type. It is a reason based not on design but on manufacture. During these three years thers has been no revolution in engineering but manufacturing science has made some wonderful strides. Cars are built in quantities far greater than three years ago. Makes are fewer, but the great enterprises manufacturing cars of this type are yearly waxing more powerful and more proficient. Their output has correspondingly increased in all the good qualities which owners covet. The use of alcohol as a substitute for . gasoline in the event that the prices continue to rise was discussed recently at a meeting of the Winni pes Automobile Trades Assoctation. Experiments about four vears ago showed that alcohol could be used as a substitute for gasoline with very slight carburetor adjustments, but the matter was dropped because the price of gasoline was such that at that time that alcohol was more expensive. If the present price tendency for gaso- line continues this situation may change, however, and the proposition may again be taken up. Frosted or smutty grain can be used to produce alcohol and this would enable western Canadian farmers to dispose of thelr damaged product. When a piston ring becomes “frozen” to the piston through lack of Iubrication, it is often a difficult prob- lem to remove it without breaking. An owner who has had this trouble overcame it in the following man~: Remove the piston from the cylnder and alsconnect the connecting rod. The piston should be stood on two bricks laid lengthwise and about.two inches apart. The flame from a blow torch is then applied to its head un- til the metal is brought to a red heat. After the piston has been allowed to cool slightly, a little keérosene is ap- plied to the seized ring. This method will free even the most stubborn ring. The only correct and workmanlike method of stalghtening bent fenders is to remove them and have them roll- ed by a tinsmith or other metal work- er. This operation generally involves considerable labor and delay. If the car owner wishes to do'the work him- self, satisfactory results can be ob- tained by placing two pleces of thin wood or sheet metal over and under- neath the fenders and tightening a clamp at the point of bend. The posi- tion of the clamp should be changed several times until the bend is elimi- nated. This wil give a better result than can be obtained by hammering. It is the experience of most motor- ists that tires wear better in the win- ter than in the summer time. An of- ficlal of a rubber company explains this by the fact that most of the drivers keep their tires more fully in- flated at that time. In the summer they are afraid that the heat will in- crease the air pressure and cause blow outs, while in the winter they have no such fear. The result is that in sum- mer many tires are kept habitually under inflated, with the result that fabric is worn and cracked by exces- ‘wears the crown—wears it with a to- tal non-stop mileage of 22,022.3 nearly sive flexing and consequently wears out soon.

Must Have Albuminous Food. ‘The fact that mosquitoes so com- tinually harass rich-blooded creatures is due to the fact that they cammot lay eggs without the albuminous food which is thus secured. In tropical countries the greatest ememy of the realaria-bearing mosquito is a species of bat which is protected from the in- sect’s bite by its strangely shaped hairs. The bat is very swift of flight and the mosquitoes, especially those which have already made a supper of blood are their ideal food. Party When Old Clothes Descend. When my oldest boy outgrows his clothing, it is laid away for a while, and when the next boy can use it, with great ceremony the -older boy brings it out and presents it to the younger brother. Upon these occa- sions we have a “party” (cookies and fruit), and we never remember we are wearing old, outgrown clothes.—Good Housekeeping. Cold Precaution. When colds, grippe or sore throats are rampant in your neighborhood, take unusual precautions. Never let the feet stay damp; change into dry shoes and stockings if you come in from the rain. Get plenty of outdoor air and exercise. And gargle with some antiseptic gargle two or three times a day. Breaking Iron With Water. A simple way of breaking a mass of fron is explained by an engineer. In a mass two feet square and four teet long he bored a perpendicular hole ome inch in diameter and be- tween three and four inches deep. This he filled with water and closed with an accurately fitted iron bolt. One heavy blow on the bolt broke the mass into two picces. Qift's Greatest Grace.
