THE SCHOOL PARADE , The parade of the school children yesterday afternoon Janet l)urhman For the oast several vears. the role was a decided success and demonstrated the ingenuityi ofj 2' uttle ln Wli"m J- Harvau-s the teachers and pupils in depicting scenes of the early days and also visualizing present day activities. It had the effect of emphasizing the great improvement that has taken place in present day teaching over that of 50 years ago, at which, time the custom was to attempt to inculcate knowledge by the use of the rod or rubber strap, instead of arousing the interest of the pupils so that a thirst for knowledge resulted. j We congratulate the teachers and pupils on the splendid way in which the program was carried out. It will no doubt result in increased interest on the part of the public in our schools. .- . i ADVERTISING HELPS CREDIT ' One sure way in which a business man can improve his credit is by following a policy of consistent advertising. Bankers believe in advertising, for they know it pays. Their feeling, therefore, when a merchant who is a good advertiser applies for a loan, is that a reasonable amount of goo'ds, bought by him on credit, will likely be turned over quickly and promptly paid for. Discrinvinating buyers of every class know they can get . fresh goods from the store that advertises. The merchant who advertises seldom has any great amount of shop-worn goods. And 'in that way advertising helps the merchant's credit not only vith the banks but with his customers. And one is just as important as the other. J V University of M i c h i g a n Engineering Bulletin Discusses Gasolines- ANN ARBOR. Mich., May 16 JP A University ox Michigan department of engineering bulletin announces that motorists accustomed to using special fuels for their high compres slcn engines may If necessary make efficient use of ordinary ga&ollnes If their motors have adequate spark plugs. "If a high compression engine Is to operate with ordinary gasoline the spark should be retarded as to re duce Intensity of the detonation or knock, the bulletin states. In this manner the high compression engine may be run with a low compression motor. With spark properly advanced the high compression engine will de velop more power with the use of anti-knock fuels than will the low compression type under any condi tions." Contrary to the belief of most mo torists, says the bulletin, a moderate degree of engine knock means an In crease rather than a decrease ln power obtained from the particular fuel under use. "Engine power Increases slowly with the increase in compression, even after detonation or knocking be gins, and continues until severe knocking occurs with every explosion, and continues until there Is a sharp drop in power." the report adds. . The bulletin warns motorists not to try getting more power by trying to gauge the knock, because It Is easy to make costly mistakes.
