Experimental Sta- tion, Department of Agriculture, are well worth studying, - e Manufacturers consider all the main features Of a spark plug When designing their engines, For this reason it is generally best to -replace a wornout plug With one similar to the original in all of its essential features. s o d Sparkplugs vary in many ways such as head or diameter size, threads, length'of barrel, kind of insulator, the number and ar- rangement erf points, head resis- tance and general design. Head diameters run In lie Inch, =Ye inch and Vs inch sizes for some engines: In others they are made in 10, 14 and 18 millimeter sizes. e 4 N T[re spacing of the electrode points varies from .020 to .030 inches, depending on the kind and size of plug and engine mak- er's recommendations. A prop- er spark plug point gauge should be used for setting the points, Points .that are spaced too far apart cause missing, especially under heavy loads and high compression. This, in turn, re- sults in fouling of the plug. It may also causespittingor, burn- ing of magneto breaker points and breakdown -in the condenser: Where points are set too close, missing may also occur when the,engine,1s idling Or on a light load,' This again may cause foul- ing of the plug, The correct length of plug is important. Usually the bottom of the spark plug barrel should be about every with the inner side of the cyllnder head or cylinder wall depending on where it is located, Plugs that are too short may foul easily, while the points ' of plugs that are too long tend • to cause pre-ignition and burn away faster. Short plugs are us- ually cooler plugs because .they transfer heat aver a short dis- tance to the water cooled jacket of, the. engine,, Long plugs run hotter because the heat has fur- ther distance to travel before it reaches the cooler engine parts. e N In some cases, due to other engine inefficiencies, fouling of a spark plug may persist, and the use of a longer, hotter type of plug may be necessary, until other engine deficiencies are remedied. On the other hand, if ciafPll#3'>hoh'• «-'• aliv410 Ailc`itim- boldo 16th•Century.,,pioneer „of' fhb surrealistic school, had a market -place • •approtidh, to."his' art. His "'jGreebgrecer,'r above,, - now on exhibition in l'aris','is' right out of the garden. Other tasty subjects 'fore the Italian's. fiungry brush included crabs and fish. • burning cif' of points or pre-ig- nition persists, then the cooler, shorter type of plug may serve satisfactorily, 4, e * When overhauling an engine, or before the beginning of a season of heavy work, it is Often worth while to have spark plugs clean- ed and tested at a local garage Or establishment where special equipment is available for the purpose, Egg quality begins to decline as soon as an egg has been laid and it continues at a steady rate. The rate of decline is greatly in- creased by the high temperature and low humidity of the warmer months 0£ the year. This means reduced profits for the poultry- man especially during the sum- mer months. Many poultrymen, however, do not realize how rel- atively easy it to produce high quality eggs throughout -the year. Walter Hunsaker of the Poultry Division Central Experimental farm, Ottawa,suggests a few simple rules which will help to maintain egg quality, and com- bine greater profit forthe pro- ducer with better quality for the consumer. e ' s 4, 1. Gather eggs twice a day in winter and three times a day in summer and cool quickly. Heat is the most important factor in the loss of egg quality. An egg that has been left in the hest all day -will be little better, by the time It is gathered, than a 3- day-old:egg; a e v 2. Use wire. backets to gather and, cool eggs. Eggs will cool twice as fast in a wire basket as in ,a pail or egg case. a n e 3. Hold egg's in =a cool moist place. A temperature of 50 de- grees to 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 70 to 80 per cent is recommended. '4, 4, e 4, Case eggs the next morning after they have been thoroughly cooled,, Cases andflats' should be 'cooled as well.' • 5. Place eggs in case with the large end up. Handle eggs care- fully at all times to avoid crack- ing the shell. . * * * 6. Market eggs at least once a week and twice or three times if possible. The best time to sell an egg is as soon as possible after it has been laid. e * * 7. Feed a compiete ration. This means a good laying mash, scratch grains, oyster shell or limestone and plenty of fresh clean deinking water. • '. d a'. s 8. Provide plentry of nests and change the nesting, material fre- quently in order' to reduce the number of dirty eggs, ui 9. Confine the layers until at least' mid'afternoon. This will help to keep Abe eggs clean dur- ing damp, ra riy weather. In ad- .. dition the birds willeat less green grass=arid ether' iinaterials outside which cause objection- ably `dark yolks."

A Iegend that no one _ ever Bound a .dead petrel led sailors to believe that they have some secret place to which they fly f when death approaches. We know that the birds do have their own private - cemetery on the uninhabited island of Cima where there is a plateau cover- ed with the tiny white bones of millions of them, Exploring Lapland, Mr. 'Wells discovered some unusual things about the dogs there. They are regarded as honoured members of the household. When a Lapp girl is born -he writes in a fine travel book, "The Road to Shal- imar" -her father gives her two presents: a female reindeer, to start a hpr'd' for 1epl dowry, and a female. -dog. : • > ,,There 'were four dogs in .the house where Wells stayed, At meal times they watched pati- ently 'while their food was be- ing prepared;' then' at a word from the master the oldest walk- ed slowly .towards i, ,end took his share, each in turn doing the sari3e,, with no. barking or lighting.' Lapps! Say' dogs are Very sen- sitive 'to punishment For st=all offences they must be scolded, for serious ones whipped, but never whipped and scolded at the same, time, however badly theybehave, for such treatment breaks a dog's spirit. They sleep with members of the family, snuggling into the, small of the back, turning over when the sleeper turns; When a Lapp lies stomach-ache he makes a dog go to sleep .on his stomach, and soon the dog gets the ache, hav- ing drawn it out of the man! Not so many years ago ances- tors of the Lapps used to locate a lost reindeer by means of a drum with a map of the locality drawn on the drumskin, and on this a small iron ring. Holding the drum level, the 'Lapp 'tap- ped its side with a small ham- mer made of reindeer antler. This caused the skin to vibrate and the ring to dance about. As the vibrations ceased, the ring came to rest op the spot where the missing reindeer was to be sought. ` If it wasn't found there' It was,' assumed to have wandered else- where. The driun was, then coli»' suited again andi,again, and eve„. enttlally•the list tmuiral• was lo- cated.'

He had" his headgear adjusted by Charles Cassie, of the 3rd Hussars from Dingwall, Scotland. Wells and his wife hired.a house boat on Dal Lake in lovely Kash- mir,- and one cold morning the owner, Dundoo, game in looking unusually fat and portly. Lift- ing his shirt, he pointed to , a small •wicker basket slung round his waist. "Kangra;" he said. "Must keep warm. • Very cold day." - , The "kangra's was 'lined with earthenware and filled .with glowing thircoal,'for in 'winter a Kashmiri carries one with him wherever "hive goes, and occasion-' ally, overcome by carbon mon-- oxide fumes, he may ifall •asleep and burn himself severely, All kinds of pedlars carne in ; boats.

Dundoo, too, .had, a -floating - island anchored near his kitchen boat -with a house on if for a hen and her chicks, As the Wells were near Srina- gar they had to see the Shali- mar of the Indian love lyric. It is a lovely shady park about 600 yards. long, •with velvety lawns, huge trees, long straight flower beds, fountains, lake, and mountain stream, climbing in four terraces towards sngw-cap- ped mountains. On each terrace is a pavilion, the fourth at, the tar end being the most beauti- ful, with exquisite black marble pillars,. It was laid out by•the•.ldogu1 Emperor Jehangir, and here the royal harem ladies rested in cool seclusion while members of the court strolled under the trees.

Wanderer," seems . to have burst on American radio audiences a1. thewrong time se Sar as factual background.- is concerned; That is, unless it Is designed t o' suggest a 'backdrop of the Tyrolese Alps rather thea 'the' rustle byways of Merle England. For, according to Ernie Hen- son, a bearded wayfarer to whom 30 years of tiumping the roads of Britain represents "a *ay of life," the welfare state has played hob with the life eif a hobo. "We have been regis- tered,'checked, urged into new- fangled reception stations, per.,,, 9uad4 to take regular jobs, bathed, questioned,, and general- ly'tieated as prehistorieefreaks," he says. ' -Your true tramp or hobo deep- ly resents the implication that his career is one of worthless- ness. He is an itinerant, a vaga- bond,. a follower of the open road, living off the countryside, but he has his dignity. And he is not looking for security; he has it - or did have until far- mers tookto sending hint to the nearest hostel, sometimes in a taxi, to be put to work. And he has no more liking for bureaucrats with their forms and red tape than did Henry Davide Thoreau when he retired to Walden Pond. In fact, that is what makes other fields, pos- sibly French or Italian fields, look greener to Ernie Henson and his few remaining compan- ions in Britain. ' The Labor government which inaugurated "fair shares" missed the point that not all the indi- vidualists are capitalists with something tangible to share.. Mr, Henson's "boys" report that "the French and Italians are prepared to let ns alone as long as we be- have,, and that is all we have ever- wanted." From The Chris- tian Science Monitor, Are You Mirror- , Wise Every bedroom needs as long mirror. Merle and women need to have a look at themselves before going out -women par. tieulaely. Lots of bedrooms are on the small side and many of them tend to lie dark. That's where the mieeor becomes much more than something to dress by. It's got a job to do making the room seem bigger and' lighter. The° trick is to put the long mirror in a corner at right angles to .the window, There's more light there, so the mirror is a greater help to the woman who wants to see that her petticoat isn't showing, that her stocking seams are straight and that she hasn't got powder on her collar. It doesn't only reflect someone who looks in it though. It catches all that light coming in from the window and turns It back into the room. The result is al- most as good as if you'd been able to cut another window in the wall, Not only does a room become lighter through -the careful plac- ing of a mirror. It looks bigger, and as nest of us don't like be- ing shut in anywhere, you could almost say that it's healthy - it certainly seethes the nerves. If the window isn't ,quite at the angle, of the wall, extend the curtain rail and Malta the ecurtains just a little wider, It won't cost much more and it will be considerably more at- tractive. A foot or so of wait isn't of much use to anybody, Queen Goes In For Economy People In Royal circles who 0houl4 know are baying that the days of Sandringham as a Royal residence are numbered. In tete course of a big economy drive which the Queen will shortly bo putting into force, the "Big House" (as it has been affection- ately known to generations of the Royal Family) will cease to be the accepted home of "the Royale," Already Sandringham has Offi- cially been taken Over by the Ministry of Works, which means that .a Government department is new responsible ter running the estate. They will seek to do this by letting off most of the =estate for intensive cultiva- tion, instead of the greater part Of it being treated as a great game preserve to raise birds for ' , Royal shooting parties, Whether Or not the 'Big house' will still be used by the Queen and her family has not been definitely decided; it might still be that a part of it would be reserved for Royal residence on occasions. But more likely, It is felt in Qourt circles, would be that Sandringham is leaned as a convalescent home or a re- sidential College. There is a noteworthy preced- ent in the case of Osborne, Queen Victoria's rambling mansion On The Isla of Wight. King Edward VII quickly decided he did not want to try to keep thii` up, and leased it to the Government 10 be used as a`convalescent home for Army officers. ' ' Although Sandringham has many happy memoriesfor the Royal Family (particular Christmas memories), it has ala many sad ones. Both King Geofge V and King George VI died,, there. • Tile Duke of Windsor, when he .:'became King, made the re- ergdnization'of Sandringham One of Ills first tasks. His father had always ;run the estate in a large- scale manner, and the game there and the shooting it provid- ed year by year made him the envy of most big landowners. Soon after the Duke of Wind- sor came to the thronehe sent Ids brother, the Duke of York, down to Sandringham to report back on the economics of the *state. The report he received made him determined to out drastically all round, but the forces of tradition stepped in and he was advised ona high level to leave things as they were. When the Duke of York carne to the throne he was unable to make the changes he would have liked to make at Sandringham for similar reasons. But times have changed since World War II, and now the Queen is doing what her father and uncle were prevented from doing, this time with the full consent of the Gov- ernment. The Queen intends til travel in the Commonwealth countries • much more than has hitherto been done by the Royal Fam- ily, so will not need Sandring- ham nearly so much as a Royal residence. Its place will be taken in the lives of "the Royals" by Royal Lodge at, Windsor and also Windsor Castle.
