if a more complete and more won-

ranged than the one ofleredjfor to-

entertainment that Manager Collins
08ers for today for the amusement-
seeker ‘is a compact array of won-
ders, nothing less.
in the first place, there is the vaude-
ville program of five acts. which has
bv this time been recommended far
and wide in Norwalk. Then there is
the fourth episode or section of the
official British war film, “The Retreat
of the Germans," showing actual bat-
tle scenes. And there is beautiful and
fearless Marie Walt‘nmp, in Univer-

hotter the spark is the more power i
shall get from the engine? G. l’. L.
That is true, but there is a practical
point beyondtwhlch it is not advisable
to go as the current burns away the
spark pluz points and causes pitting
of the vibrator points. Disconnect the
wire at the. spark plug and make a
quarter inch gap between it and the
cylinder. Adjust the vibrator until a
good fat spark is shown which jumps
the quarter inch gap readily.
