Pupils and Teachers Join in National Contest; Big Response Already Noted to The Tribune. Bpcil WASHINGTON. Nor. Many luge htou aafatyfaloae are being advanced a a result of the national safety campaign being conducted under the auspices of the Highway end Highway Transport Ed committee. These sugestioos ji cation come In lessons and essays being pre pared by teachers and pupils as their contributions to the two conteste which form a part of the movement. Organisations sponsoring the campaign anticipate an appreciable decrease in the number of motor accidents and fatalities, which annually take a toll of 10,000 lives due to the educational work being conducted in virtually every classroom in the United States. It Is estimated that more tha nhalf of the 1,000,000 teachers in the country and a large percentage of. the 18,000,000 pupils are Interested In the committee's program. Many of these, it is believed, will have submitted their lessons and time the contest -- . THE CARBURETOR (Continued).

This R. which valve a or of throttle le running, would be decreased, and the butterfly mixture thus become weak. So this level when nearly closed will allow but a small to mtxture amount of the pass and enter must constantly be maintained. This is thus giving but a mild exaccomplished by means of a float valve. the cylinders, Is fully plosion.

The gaaotine could thua enter, and aa it dors so the float would rise, thue pushing up the weights M, and so the needle O down. When the proper level is reached the - . needle will entirely close the opening P. The level'is usually regulated by screwing the -needle up or down in the lever eleevea. The Jevel, however, is set at the factory and you ahould never "monkey with ita regulation. Many mechanics, either ignorantlv or carelessly, when needle cleaning the carburetor,: turn-thIn Its sleeve and ao spoil the regulation. When the float chamber cover Is removed eare muet be taken not to- spoil this adjustment. To go over the action of the carburetor ae far as we have studied It (which would be a fair carburetor for a constant epeed engine), we see that when the engine le on Its auction stroke a vacuum is created, which win extend to the manifold and the carburetor, thus causing a spray of issue from the nozzlp, at' the gasollne-t- o same time that there la a rush of air through the opening D, which air, as it goes to the cylinder, will pick up and mix with the spraying gasoline, thus causing an explosive mtxture to enter the cylinders. tjAi the gasoline sprays out of the nozzle the level In the float chamber will be lowered and thua the float and weights M drop, causing the needle O to rise, and so the opening P to be unobstructed by the needle. Freah gasoline will thus enter the float chamber to take the place of that carried to the cylinders. ' The carburetor, as far aa it was explained in the last lecture, would be all e -- .... sion, and so the engine and car speed will be greater The throttle or butterfly vabee le operated by band by a lexer. on top of tbe steering column, or "by the foot pressing on the accelerator. Both of these, through a aeries of and eliding connections, operate on the rod 8, pushing It to the right or left. You wilL note that when the rod S Is moved to the right It will, by acting on the lever T (shown dotted), revolve the butterfly valve R In by opposite tl)S arrow, thus checking the flow of the mixture, while, when it la moved to the left. It will open the butterfly valve and so 1st the full charge reach the cylinders. When ws give the engine more gee, as the saying la, we open the throttle or butterfly ae explained above. Will this throttle affect the mixture? When the butterfly R is nearly closed the mixture will be checked by it and ao sort of pile up in the mixing chamber C. and thus greatly reduce the vacuum here. Thus the spray from the nozzle and the dir entering at D will both be reduced. If, however, the throttle is opened to allow, say, twice the amount of mixture to pass, then the piling up" action will not be so great; there will be greater vacuum the spray will be greater and the amount of air entering at D Will be greater. The proportion of gas to air, however, will not he the same as before, because the resistance of the opening D and the friction of the walla will tend to check the flow "of the Incoming air more than the resistance of the nozzle opening will check the gasoline. Thus, as the throttle is opened the mixture will constantly become richer. The mixture entering ths cylinders must always be in the same proportion of gaa and air. Therefore, the carburetor es above will not do, and something must be added to allow more air to enter at the higher epeeda How this is accomplished will be shown in the next lecture. bell-cran- ABOUT.

The surprising extent to which women are invading the field of highway is shown by a long list of feminine road builders invited to the congress. Among these is Dr. Jennie C. Murphy, the only woman street commissioner in the world. Dr. Murphy bosses the construction gangs and street cleaners at Tankton, 8.

Mrs. Axsl Holm of As a contractor, South Range, Wis., has Just completed four and a half miles of state highway through Pattison Slate park, hear Superior, Wis., doing a job that would do credit to any man. The road which ahe has just completed forms a part of the great Mississippi valley acenio highway from New Orleans to Canada. Mr. Holm handles the finances of her company, n bosses a gang of workmen, cooks their food and looks after the welfare of her machinery and twenty teams Two daughters, Vtvlan and of horses.

Road machines manufactured by Miss Cressey are used In many states of the union tor spraying oil, tar and asphalt in road work. At tbe present time Miss Cressey has machines working on contracts as far south as Texas, in addition to many in the east and middle west. road-buildi- S'. George K.
