Hot Air N American schoolgirl once described London as “the capital of a small off the coast of France”; and a schoolboy asserted that in “people are put to death by clocution.” This is the quad- rennial year of political conventions, and the long-distance orator is parading his lack of terminal facilities. He is an hour in passing a given point—and sometimes he Ieaves the point out. We need a League for the Prevention of Cruelty to Listeners. Or at least we need a revival of the censorship, not to control the utterances of the politicians, but to curb their disparate prolixity. Perhaps we could get along if there was an official copy-reader, empowered to wield the blue pencil inexorably. .

SIMPLY PUSH THE BUTTON WHEN YOU WANT TO START AGAIN. | 1 How the Automatic Switch Insures Your Ignition You forget to turn off your ignition often enough to create a real danger to the system; but for- | getting makes no difference to the Connecticut system. When the motor stops, the continued flow of the current heats the thermostatic arm of the Connecticut Automatic Switch, causing it to expand, throwing off the plunger and breaking the circuit. This thermostatic _arm is composed of bronze welded to steel. The bronze ext ands more rap- idly under heat than the steel, and this uneven lexpansion automatically snaps off the plunger, stopping the flow of current immediately. It is a simple mechanism, infallible in operation, jand requires neither thought nor attention—ex- |cept to push the plunger back when you want to start again. The automatic switch thus permanently protects | both coil and battery. Therefore the Connecticut |system, free to deliver full current, furnishes a hot, fat, eager spark at all motor speeds.
