FLEXIBILITY OF MOTORS DESCRIBED Advantage of Peerless "Loaf ing" and "Sportng" Ranges Tersely Pointed Out The engineering practice utilized in the Peerless two-power range design is fascinating to one who will stop to grasp the technical principles in volved. The well-known practical advant ages of the high speed multiple cylinder motor are realized on the road only when the entire car me chanism is so designed that a strong, even motor pull is available at all car speeds. The Model 56 chassis and the Model 5(5 eight-cylinder motor are designed and balanced to bring about this much desired condition. With this as a starting point, proper fuel supply is furnished to the motor by a two stage carburetor, having one set of jets for car speeds up to approxi mately 43 miles an hour and another set that is opened automatically when the car advances beyond this speed. The desirability of securing a carburetor which would give a good economy, strong pulling 011 hills with out loading, quick pick up. high speed and power had been the goai of car manufacturers for some years. It has not been difficult to fix the size of throats so that the velocity at the low motor speed was sufficient to atomize the gasoline and at the same time give satisfactory power at 1,800 revolutions per minute and under. From the speed of 1,800 up. how ever, the limitations of throats cut so heavily in the volumetric efficiency that the power curve drops off rapidly at high speeds. How, then, can satisfactory results ho obtained for speeds from 1,800 to 3.000 revolutions? Obviously, the most simple methoi., still retaining the small throat for the lower speed >/eciuirements, would be to provide an additional supply thrbugh a separate larger throat with its independent nozzle, Ihese larger throats being con trolled by a separate valve which in turn was inter-connected with the main throttle valve. Such larger nozzles, proportioned for the proper richness to give maxi mum speed and power such as are re quired under racing conditions, alone would not give slow speed perform ance. This is illustrated to engineers and spectators at automobile races when the racing cars have great diffi culty in starting at low speeds and very often miss badly until they ob tain the maximum speed for which their particular racing carburetor is designed. The local territory is cover ed for the Peerless by the Keystone Motor Car Co., South Cameron street, with C. 11. Barner as general man ager. TAKING ONE'S III.SOWI) SHOPPING As to the advisability of taking one's husband to the shops, much may be said on both sides. On the one hand, it is certain that after he has spent three hours in a chair While his wife tries 011 Spring suits, a man will have a very definite idea of what women suffer in the daily task. Th next time his wife comes home from the shops with a headache he is likely to be more sym pathetic. But then again it may be that the memory of his own bitter or deal will prevail, and he will carry, away with him'a more vivid sense of the.futilities in which the life of woman is spent. It all depends on the man, of course. But the husband endowed just a bit of philosophic reflection, planted three solid hours in a tapestry chair, in an audience of three hundred women and fifty salesgirls, will watch the strained and tired faces, the try ings-on and divestings. the search after the unattainable ideal, the final pur chase made more out of weariness than out of satisfaction: and be cannot help asking himself, "For whom is it all?" And he will say to himself. "For us males." And it will make him thought ful. On the whole, a university exten sion course in Shopping Practice and Observation would be good for the av erage man. The next time he speaks to a well-dressed woman at dinner lie will know what It costs to make the world beautiful for him. He may there upon deride to get on with less beauty or else he will be more ready to make allowances for women's nerves. But I am not sure. Taking along one's husband to the store as a critic and appraiser is of no use at all. In the first place, his principles of criticism are utterly un like a woman's. His criticism is of the 'omantic, impressionistic school. He V>oks at his wife in the green cloak' with fur edging and says, "I like that." Or else he says, "You look well in that." As if the mere fact that a wom an looks well in a gregn eoat, or that she likes it, were the deciding factor. Woman belongs, in the matter of dress, to the scientific school of criticism! which bases itself on universal prin ciples—Aristotle, Taine, Brunetiere. It criticism which does not ask whether a woman looks well in a green cloak trimmed with fox, but says. How does this green cloak fit into that woman's life, her temperament, her likes, her friends, her duty to her family and to society, on the one hand; and how near is it in danger of being duplicated by the woman next door, on the other hand? A man likes his wife's new din ner gown when it looks well on his wife in the shop. A woman is bound to think of the gown in relation to tha wall-paper and the lights at home, the fact that she had a dark red dinner gown year before last, the fact that her color is somewhat higher than it was two years ago. that she has taken on three pounds In weight, that her hus band's Income has materially Increased since last year, and that next year peo ple will be wearing greens and pur ples.—Simeon Strurtsky in Harpers Magazine for February.

IF YOO WONT DUV A PIG COVERED > VePHToN OF "LOVE POEMS"— \OOR COMPETITOR (AgßggSjT^E MD IT; Buller Files an Answer on Query Commissioner of Fisheries Buller j has answered the request of the House | for information on the McCall's Ferry ! dam tishway, setting forth plainly j that there was no type upon which 1 experts now agreed. The commissioner was in conference i with the Attorney General to-day re- j garding the future proceedings in the ' matter and on pollution cases which j are now being taken up. Mr. Buller's answer is as follows: i "In compliance with the provisions of a resolution passed in the House of' Representatives on the 29th day of i January, 1917, requesting that the Com- j missioner of Fisheries furnish the House of Represenatives of I'ennsylva- I nia with certain information in refer ence to the installation of an adequate j fishway in the dam of the Pennsylvania I Water & Power Company in the Sus- j quehanna river at Holtwood, as provid- j ed by a joint resolution of the Pennsyl- 1 vania Legislature, approved the 22d da\ of April, 1913, the Commissioner of Fisheries. X. R. Buller, has submitted his report to the House of Representa tives. "Prior to 1913 the Pennsylvania Water & Power Company erected on the Lancaster county side of the dam a fail fishway, expending in its con struction $20,591.19. After this fish way was thoroughly tested it was found to be useless. Insofar as the shad were concerned, and was abandoned. I Since that time the company, under the' direction of the Department of Fish- | eries, has been making a careful study 1 of the situation at McCall's Ferry dam. "In 1913 the company proceeded to install a fishway on the York county side, but owing to the many difficulties encountered, it was a hard proposition. Up to the present time, after making many additions and improvements to the York county tishway. the company has expended over $21,000. "The question of tishways for the as cension of shad was brought to the at tention of the American Fisheries So cieties by the Commissioner of Fish eries. being composed of leading fish culturists from all over the world. It was the concensus of opinion that up to that time there was no practical fishway through which the shad would ascend. Recently the Department of Fisheries wrote to each Fish Commis sion in the United States and replies received indicate that this opinion still exists.

COMPULSORY SAVING PROVES SATISFACTORY Berlin, Feb. 16.—Enforced saving | for youthful workers, which was in- Istituted by the military authorities a few months ago as a check to extra vagance and dissipation, lias result- I ed, in Greater Berlin alone, in a sav ing of more than a million and a half marks already. Of this sum, some thing less than half a million marks has been withdrawn from the savings banks by the workers, a third of whom have been able to convince the au thorities that they need the money for legitimate purposes. The investigations attendant upon jsucli withdrawals show that the wages for youths now range from 20 to 70 and more marks a week, averaging in the neighborhood of 30 add marks a week. The amount of money that has been laid aside, as well as the gen eral satisfactory condition of the workers, convince the authorities that the compulsory saving ordinance was an altogether wise move.

I ALLIED AIRMEN HARASS GERMANS Most Spectacular Episodes of War Are Being Fought in Air With the British Armies in France, Feb. 10. The announcement that "Improved weather conditions per mitted increased aerial activity along the entire front" is the laconic and prosaic way in which the official com munique dismisses some of the most spectacular episodes of the war. To those who have once witnessed this "increased aerial activity" such an announcement conjures up at once a picture of countless aeroplanes in the air—scouting, lighting, diving, spin ning. hovering over enemy targets and calmly sending wireless signals through the fountains of enemy fire, photographing the enemy lines, bomb ing his ammunition dumps and sheds and supply columns, and otherwise "carrying on" in the sky in a manner wholly bewildering to the onlooker but typifying in supreme degree the in dispensable part aviation is playing in this war. Flying No Child's Play With a candor often uncommon in time* of strife, the British com munique may end from day to day with the simple statement that one or two or three or four "of our machines have not returned." This means they have either been hit and forced to land in the enemy lines, or have been shot down to a fate more certain. It is no child's play to circle above a German battery observing for half an hour or more, tortured by exploding shells and black shrapnel puffballs coming nearer and nearer like the ex tending finger tips of some hand of death. But they are little more than children—these mere boys who are bringing the luster of everlasting fame to the British aviation service. Some are scarce eighteen. It is rare to find a flying inan over twenty-five. 111 the aggregate, however, the losses in the flying corps are as nothing com pared with the useful and vital work the "wings" accomplish. Without them the big guns would have no far seeing eyes to correct their shells. Without them and the hundreds of photographs they daily take the map makers could not trace each detail of the trench positions. Without them the general staff could not accurately know just what is going on by day and night behind the enemy lines. With out them modern war would lose its most fascinating phase. The "good flying" of a single day on the British front alone may repre sent a day of a hundred lights, a day of four score aeroplanes in wing-to wing combat—a day of a thousand personal incidents and deeds of dar ing in the once strange strata of high thin air. Germans Have New Ruse The Germans lately have adopted the ruse of "stalling" and shamming a fall out of control. It is a thrilling, but not uncommon thing to see a German machine, when closely press ed, turn its tail St right up in the air and dive toward the earth for a dis tance of two or three thousand feet, and just as the uninitiated onlooker would expect a "crash" it flattens out and starts pell-mell for its own lines. One does not always get away with this bit of aerial strategy, however. After attacking three hostile machines an allied lieutenant saw one machine go ing down in a spiting nose dive. He suspected the honesty of that dive and decided to do a little diving "of his own." This dramatic downward duel continued for full five thousand feet, until the German was driven into a spin "and seen to crash." FAMOUS IiONDON "CAP" DIES London.
