Systematic Plan for
Charting of Currents
At eight bells every day, aboard ev-
ery ship, the position of the vessel is
ascertained by observation, and Its po-
sition marked on the chart. When tills
Is done, it is the practice on many
ships to use what are called “bottle-
papers."
These are merely slips of white pa-
per, but they help greatly in the chart-
ing of the world’s currents. On them
is printed a short notice asking any-
one who should find one to send It to
a certain address, and In some cases
offering a small reward. A space Is
left to be filled in with the name of
the ship, the master’s name, the lati-
tude and longitude at the time, the
chronometer time and the apparent
time on the ship. When the paper has
been filled In, it Is signed by the mas-
ter and the navigating officer and then
Inserted in a clean white bottle which
is corked hard and sealed with wax.
U Is then thrown overbourd.
The bottle may drift for years, hut
in the meteorological und hydrograph-
ical offices of the world men are em-
ployed in calculating from the bot-
tles, as they are found, the strength
and direction of the currents.
One bottle thrown overboard from
the British steamer Athelqueen in No-
vember, 19*J0, off the south coast of
Ceylon, was found on the coast of Ital-
ian Somaliland in April. 1030. having
drifted about two thousand miles in
just over five months.
Mending Broken Chinn
The Department of Agriculture rec
ommends what Is known as grand-
mother's white lead process for mend
ing broken china. The cementing ma-
terial is white lead such as is used
by artists working with oil paints. It
may be rubbed with the finger on the
raw edges of the dish and the piece
which is to he cemented Into place,
but before the white lead cement is
applied, it Is well to rub down the
edges a vary little with emery paper
to make room for the thin layer of
white lead, so that the dish when
completed will not be distorted In
shape.
Largest Junk Shop
The world's largest junk shop Is the
Caledonian market in London. Here,
according to Collier's Weekly, immense
crowds attend the semi-weekly bargain
days, when in a large open field, a
countless collection of vnried cast-ofT
goods, from cracked egg-cups to brok
111 perambulators are bargained for by
thousands of poor folks and antique

“I began tak-

P. S. Perrit,' of Wesson,
Miss. "I took one bot-
tle, and I seemed to Im-

sent for six bottles. Af-
ter I had taken the six
bottles, I seemed entire-

“Before I took Car-

all the time. After I
took Cardul, all this
disappeared.

Step 0111 of any olln-r low-priced car, step into a
Chevrolet, und you’ll learn what a difference
six cylinders make.
“I«1V” the engine—and the whole car remains
s>c<idy. Open the throttle—the power flows
evenly. Accelerate—throttle down—go fifteen
or fifty—and this smoothness stays with you
whatever you do. For six-cylinder smoothness
is built into the motor—and objectionable
vihrution never even starts!
Yet smoothness is only part of your six-cylinder
experience. There’s
greater quietness, be-
cause noisy vibration
is gone. There’s
greater com fort, be-
cause built-in smooth-

ness doesn’t tire the driver or passengers.
There’s greater flexibility, because the power-
impulses of a six overlap. And response Is
more positive, performance more elastic. A
six is much easier to handle!
And particularly, if you raise the hood of a
Chevrolet and watch the engine running
smoothly and steadily, you’ll realize that six
cylinders also mean greater dependability.
You owe it to yourself—to see and drive a Chev-
rolet today. And
remember when you
do—that no other car

operate as the power-

One of the awkward tilings about

It seems particularly Idle for strung

way.
There seems to be nothing wrong
