May I ask why you think the smaller sparking dis tance gives the better work? W. W. The spark gap in battery ignition is usually about 1-32 of an inch. in mag- neto ignition it i's about 1-64 of an inch The ignition system. used determines more or less the distance of the gap. if the spark gap is wide, the- compres- sion high, and the voltage low you cannot expect good results. Different makes of ginltion systems vary more or less. The spark gap Imust be so reg- T'ulated as to give a hot ‘l‘fat" spark. The intensity of the spark is more or less determined by the condenser action of 'the system used. If the spark gap is too wide the action of the condenser will not be so effective. 5”.

This salesman stated that two domestic band making manufacturing concerns in New er- sey are making stiff hat banding. of such qualityand weave that,lt com- pares favorabiy with the best foreign made bands. . Before the war nearly all of the banding for still hats not, the cheaper grades was imported from Germany. Many of the better grades were also of foreign make and for years 75 per cent. of the banding used in trimming stilt hats has been of foreign make, most of it rooming from Germany.

To- ‘day according to salesmen, lt‘is im- ‘posslble to obtain a roll of stiff hat 'bandlng of foreign make in any New York city importing house. in the manufacture of soft hat bands however. the domestic manufacturers have always more then held their own. Band' experts have always selected the domstic soft hat band in preference to that of foreign make. There is a de cided difference in the weave of soft and stifl hat bands and then again. the latter can be produced more cheaply in Germany than in this country. The shortage in the supply of stiff . hat bands has not been felt by local manufacturers to any serious extent because during the past twa years there been heaxy stiff hat demand last for soft hats than for derbies.‘ Had there been a heavy stiff hat demnd last spring the hat mnnfacturersI would have probably found it dithcult to ob- tain a sufficient supply of stiff hat banding.
