While the huge ible displayed most excellent qualities in the way of safety, speed and crulsing ability, the lion's share of the credit for the feat must be given to Dr. Hugo Eckener, the airship's indomitable commander and chlef pilot. His passengers and crew are giving him unstinted praise for the skill he showed throughout the globe-encircling trip. Every southern Californian who could get there greeted the Zeppelin at los Angeles, which was reached on Monday after a flight across the Pacific enlivened only by an electric storm encounteréd soon after the de- parture from Tokyo. As it passed down the California coast the alrship on Sunday had circled over San Fran- cisco. The getaway from Los Angeles was not easy and quantities of ballast and extra equipment had to be dumped to give it enough lifting power. As it was, the dirigible barely avoided run- ning into a network of high power electric wires near Mines field. An interesting story comes from Japan to the effect that the Zeppelin's safe crossing of the Pacific prevented the “seppuka” or suleidal atonement of the five officers and twelve enlisted men of the Japanese navy who held themselves blameable for the slight accident that the airship suffered In being taken from the hangar ut Kas- umigaura alrport. Such action by the Japanese would have been in accord with their ancient custom, and the wives of the men might have followed them In death, days LEVELAND was “up in the air” all week, enjoying the airplane cares and exhibitions of flying and the big alrcraft exposition.

First Had Were Spark Plug Electrodes Squared Tips and Later Rounded. If you examine the lower end of the latest spark plugs on the market, you will notice that the center electrode is now bevelled at the point instead of being cut off square or with a round tip, as in the past. The change, slight LAs it appears to be, is proving a highly valuable contribution to motor effi- ciency and economy. There have been three successive shapes of electrode ends, since the early days of automotive history. At first, both center and ground electrode wires were cut off square. With this shape, the spark passing across the gap between the two ends was small, since the volume of current was con. centrated to the point where the edge of the center electrode directly ope posed the ground electrode. In order J New Bevelled Tip Gives Larger Spark, More Power and Greater Fuel Economy. to make this opposing surface broader and compel more current to leap the gap in the form of a spark, engineers next rounded off both electrode ends. But while this enlarged the opposing areas and resulted in temporarily in- creased efficiency it was found in prac. tice that the surfaces were subject to corrosion, with a resulting tendenéy for the gap to widen and the spark to become diffused and weak and not perform its whole duty, Bevelling the central electrode end lessens the tendency to corrosion, ase sures a more permanent gap width, gives greater spark Intensity and strength, yields more power and smoother engine performance and re- sults In important economy through reduction in fuel waste
