The bull campaign in progress since
last July, which has resulted right
along in disasterous defeats for the

The slump was CHIEFLY due to the
action of the country in dumping large

MAGNETIC IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Its Development Began Long Before
Advent Of the Auto.

Long before the automobile became
practicable, the magnetic, which Is the
most important part OF the ignition
system of every gasoline-driven motor
car, was In the process OF develop
ment. The first magnetos were of a
low-tenslon variety and We're used 81,
connection with make and break"
device designed by Daimler the
pioneer builder of gas engine motors
for vehicles.
From that time on the development
of the magnetic was rapid and this
form of ignition came into general
use among automobile builders early
in the present century. Practically
all the existing types today are based
on the fundamental principles incor-
porascd In the first types by Robert
Bosch, a German inventor.
In the last few years several mag.
neto factories have been established
in the United States and the growth
OF this branch for the industry has
been proportionate to that Of the
automobile itself.

INSULATED WIRE-ONE OF DE-
TROIT'S IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES

Insulated wire is an article which
has been much in demand OF late
years, principally becaus of the ten
dency towards the use of electricity
fer the lighting OF dwellings and office
buildings. Few homes are built In
Detroit nowadays without being wired
for electric lighting, with the result
that Detroit insulated wire works are
kept busy. The wire used for such
work Is insulated with rubber. and
the insulation is regarded as an abso-
lutte safeguard against danger from
shock Detroiters are given unusual
ly good protection in this regard, for
the reason that all wiring Is carefully
inspected by a representative OF the
public lighting commission before be-
ing approved for use.
Ii Is q mistake, however, for one to
harbor the idea that street wires are
safe because they are insulated. These
wires carry heavy voltage and the in
sulation, which consists OF three
braids of cotton, saturated with a COM
position OF pitch and other substances,
is not regarded by electricians as alb
solute protection. AS matter OF fact,
no trained electrician will work about
charged wires without first separating
himself and the wires by means Of a
rubber sheet and seeing to 1t that his
feet are resting on dry wood. Rubber
is no longer used for insulating street
wires because Of the advance In price
Of the commodity. Rubber tape which
used to cost 81 a pound, now costs 30.
Relative to the dangers surrounding
electric wires, Frank r. Mistersky,
general superintendent OF the public
lighting commission, gives some
Wholesale advice.
The Times can do the public a
good service by pointing out the dan
ger connected nth electric wires.

In view OF this showing and the
additional fact that Detroit is the
