CTHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRV KING
NG
SHINGLING BY THE MOON
M ANY people believe that you
LY should shingle your roof when
the moon is on the wane, The shingles
put on at that time will lay flat—"go
down” as they say--while singles laid
when the moon is on the increase are
liable to warp and curl up This
superstition has been found existing
in this country hy the American Folk-
Lore society and is another ease of
the survival into our own times of the
primitive doctrine of Lunar Sympathy
which considered both human acts
and material things as sympathetical-
ly affected by the waxing and waning
of the moon. When the moon is wax-
ing it gradually increases itself from
line into a round ball—and
will try to do the same,
‘hereas when it is. on the wane It
goes through an opposite process and
shingles laid on correspondingly
influenced. It will be noted that by the
doctrine of Lunar Sympathy that
sympathy Is exerted upon material
things in a determinate manner at
some particular and crucial time of
the object's existence-—when the tim-
ber is cut, when the seed is planted,
when the shingle is laid.

Dear Editor:
ITTLE ROCK, Ark. had a good
idea recently. They wanted a
booster booklet, to be sponsored by
the real estate men. So they held a
contest among school children to get
all sorts of odd formation about the
city.
The resultant data makes breezy
reading. Taxes, length of streets, the
number of taxicabs in town, 230 miles
of natural gas pipes used in the city,
008 fire hydrants, 14 theaters in town,
$1,202 average per capita wealth-—the
kids routed out these facts and many
others,
I imagine the contest resulted first
of all in a new pride In those young-
sters’ hearts,
If the real estate men of any town
ean just get the youngsters to loving
thelr city, the rest of the world will
hear about it, too,~Fred Barton,

A party of my more or less remote
acquaintance parked his speed buggy
at the curb and went into a house,
While he was gone it rolled away

sedan was a lady about thirty years

I wonder how does that thoughtless
lunatic that left his car parked In an
unsafe manner feel about it down In

In his Insurance report he wrote,
“While I was In the house the brakes
on my car let go, which was the cause

THE MOTOR QUIZ
(How Many Can You Answer?)
Cp palin pp pp pr pp ply lp lr rl
QQ. Why does an old car use
more oll than a new one?
Ans, Primarily because differ-
ent joints in old ears are looser,
permitting the oll to leak out,
Algo pistons and rings which
have been worn will pass oll in-
to the combustion chamber
where it Is burned.
Q. If after parking one finds
oll has leaked from the engine
of his car, what should he do?
Ans, The ear should be In-
spected and parts tight-
ened In order to conserve oll
This will make a big difference
in oil consumption,
Q. What is the most Important
oll saving device
bile?
Ang. The oll filter. It removes
the foreign matter from the oll,
thus making it possible to use
the oll much longer. Every 10,-
000 miles the oll filter cartridge
should be renewed as it becomes
filled at this mileage,
Q. If the oil filter is

Protecting Automobile
Engine Against Wear
The thin oil film between moving
parts is really what protects the auto-
mobile engine against wear, This oll
film is six times thinner than the page
of this newspaper. It is kept clean by
the oil filter—~the device through
which the oll passes and is filtered.
After 10,000 miles of driving it is
important to service the oil fiiter be-
cause after this mileage it becomes
filled with as much as two pints of
dirt, sludge and other foreign matter
taken from the oll, and ceases to func-
tion at highest efficiency In keeping
the oll film clean.
