THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM SATURDAY, SEPT. 20, 1919.
The Automobile Simplified By FREDERICK C. GUERRLICH, M. E. Make This Your Automobile Correspondence School AN Intimate talk on the working units of the automobile discussed la such a way that the layman can easily understand them. If in reading these articles, as they appear in the Palladium each Saturday, there is anything not clear to you. ask Mr. Guerlich about it. An answer will be published on the completion of the articles on tU section of the automobile under discussion. Copyrighted, 191T. By Frederick C. Guarrltch.
When we studied the low-tension magneto we saw that this required an outside coil, with a number of wires to connect the two. It would be a fine thing if this coil, with its wires, could be eliminated, as not only does the coil take up room, but the wires may become loose, short-circuited, either -by oil or the insulation becoming worn, and in brief, make the system complicated. Inventors and designers saw the advantage of doing away with this coil and its wiring, with the result that the high-tension magneto was invented. Let us study the high-tension magneto system,
engine from the magneto, as doing this will get them out of time. So we must find some way to stop the generation of the current. On what do we depend for the shot of high-voltage current which gives us the spark? Why, on the interruption of the primary current. Well, then, if we can stop the interruption of thflow of the primary current we will prevent the spark. This, then, i3 our problem. Note that the current goes to the interrupter, and then to the ground, so that if we weren't to connect a wire just ahead of the interrupter and then

strument, as you will notice, from the longitudinal drawing of the Bosch Magneto given above. Figure 2 6hows the wiring of the high tension magneto. K is the armature core. H. the primary coil and heavy lines J, represent the secondary coil (of which there will be a greater number of turns. The primary current you will notice, starts on the armature coil, goes through R, then wire Li, which, in practice, is a bar placed as shown by O, then across the interrupter points to the ground, back to the armature, at S. The secondary will start in the secondary coil on the armature, gc to the collector ring, be collected by the collector brush, and then go through M, to the distributor, and so to the spark plugs, returning through the ground to the armature at T. Fig. 3 shows the outside v.iring. If you understand Fig 2, you will be able to understand the more complicated longitudinal section drawing just below it, and it would be a good practice to study the purpose of the parts as given therein. Note the construction of the interrupter shown, which is different than the one shown in Fig. 2. Of course, the interrupter and distributor are different in construction in the different makes of instruments, though the action is the same. The heavy black portions represent insulating material.
which is, perhaps, the ideal ignition system. In studying it, let us put ourselves in place of the inventor and tltvelcp the system as he would be likely to. Wo want to do away with the transformer coil. What is its purpose? Its purpose is to transform the low-voltage current into a highvoip current. Well, can the magneto bo so built that it will generate a cuiiiU of a voltage high enough to felvB Hie si-ark, -without using a transloiritr -roil? No. because it can not be made large enough. Well, then,
can the co.l bf b:i t into the magnet:
ground this wire, the current would not be interrupted, but flow to the ground through this wire, even when the interrupter points are opened. If now, instead of running this wire direct to the ground we first run it to a switch on the dash, and then run from the switch to the ground, we will have a way to ground, and so stop the interruption of primary at will, and this from the driver's seat. I want to call my readers' especial attention to the fact that the action of the high-tension switch differs from all other ignition switches; in that

is in a vertical position, and at right ;
angles to the magnetic lines of force. '1 ht magnetism from the t'ieid of the
magnets will not interfere with the ; demagnatizaiion of the core; and also, ; as the secondary current Hows iui- j

is interrupted, or when the interrupter j
joints are open, the primary circuit will be open and so the two circuits wii lnot interfere with olio another. Xovv the secondary coil is revolving and so in order to collect this current u collector ring and collector brush must he furnished. This is generally placed on the side of ihe armature shaft, opposite to the side of the interrupter is on. Figure 2 shows the wiring as we have developed it so far. Tracing the two circuits, we find that one end of the primary is grounded, so the current which is generated on this winding will go to the primary collector, then to the interrupter and then to the ground, and so returning to the coil through the metal cf the magneto itself. The secondary, which is also grounded at one end, will go to the collector ring, be collected by the brush and then go to the distributor, by which it is distributed to the various wires running to the spark plugs, and will then return through the metal of the engiv.e and magneto to where the secondary roil has grounded. The thin lines represent the primary and heavy the secondary. Notice that the only wires which leave the instrument (as the interrupter and distributor are built into it. the wires X and L will not be outside) are those which go to the spark plug. This is truly a simple machine. Will It Run? How will we stop the engine, which will run just as long as it gets a spark and mixture? It would complicate the engine and control to arrange it so that the mixture is stopped, so that the automobile gas engine is always stopped by stopping the spark. Now, Just so long as the engine is running the magneto will generate the current. Obviously we cannot disconnect the Postal Card Given Prompt Attention. Landscape Designs a Specialty. Geo. L.

For Christ and the Church Topic for September 21st, Truthfulness, Eph, 4-25, Kings 5; 20-27. Hints for the Leader Lies are unprofitable. Germany has paid and will continue to pay. for her lies which started in 1870, when Bismark falsified in the famous Ems telegram, that brought on the war between France and Germany. Encouraged by victory and thinking they could continue to spread lies, their propaganda reached almost every nation on the globe and finally brought on the world war. What rave they gained? Nothing but the h.1red and suspicion of the whole world, besides the loss of their man power, territory wealth and commerce. We can deceive man but God knows our deceptions and sooner or later we pay the price. Ananias and Saphira through lack of faith thought they could hold back the truth, but they were unable to hide their guilt and paid the price. Be not deceived; God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Gal. 5-7. Exaggeration is the commonest of

lies, perhaps not very harmful to others, btu it has atelling effect upon our characters. How much more interesting and rosey is a description if we let our imagination hold sway, but we should remember that exaggeration is a check value to our mental and spiritual development and therefore an evil to be shuned. Eaggeration is a common fault among children, because children naturally have a vivid imaginations. It is a fine thing that they have and it should not be surpressed but directed in the proper channel. The greater the power of imagination the more fully can we enjoy the common interests of life. Selfishness is the cause of most untruths, lets not be deceived by momentary gain for which we will have to pay a hundred fold in the future, but may we rather think of others and do for others so that we will have no time for anything but the truth. A Suggested Program Song service. Society business. Information committee. The society repeat Eph. 4:25, in unison after the leader. ' One minute talk by a member on the last clause of Eph. 4:25, "We are members one of another. Scripture reading, Kings 5:20-27. Sentence prayers should be written beforehand on the blackboard or on a large sheet of paper. Hymn or special music. The leaders talk. General participation. '. The pastors five minutes. Hymn. Benediction. To Think About. How does fear cause untruthfulness? How does pride cause untruthlulness? Whv should we never speak or act falsely? Purposeful Prayer. Thank God; for his book of truths; for the lives of men and women who
ring true- for p-q promises to those who live the truth. Ask God: to help us always to live true; that His truth will soon be known in all the earth; that truth shall prevail in the present controversy over the peace treaty and the league of nations. Next Topic, ' The Christian Athlete and His Training." 1 Cor. 9: 19-27. Keep in mind the Big Young People's Rally to be held at the Grace M. E. church, Wednesday evening, Oct. 8. We are expecting one of the most enthusiastic young peoples
workers, In young peoples' work to speak to us, and many good things are planned. "PEP" Vigor, vitality, vim, and punch That's Pep! The courage to act on a sudden hunch, That's Pep!

PLAGUE TO VISIT U. S. IF MEAT EATING DON'T STOP?
NEW YORK, Sept. 20 The eating of meat was the target of attacks in addresses delivered today before the International Conference of Women Physicians. Dr. Graham Lusk, professor of physiology at Columbia university, declared that "meat was the curse of the American nation and the foundation for the high cost of living," while Dr. E. V. MacCullom, of Baltimore, asserted that unless the consumption of meat is reduced and fresh green vegetables substituted, the nation would be visited with some sort of plague like beriberi or pellagra.
NASAL CATARRH
Though Very Common It Is a Serious Disease Worse at This Season.
It Is an inflammation of the mucous membrane, causing a discharge, and is aggravated by colds and sudden changes of weather, but depends on an impure condition of the blood. When chronic it may develop into consumption by breaking down the delicate lung tissues and impairing the general health. Begin treatment with Hood's Sarsaparilla at once. This medicine purifies the blood, removes the cause of the disease, and gives permanent relief. It has been entirely satisfactory to three generations. If a cathartic is needed take Hood's
