obtained from electricity, but this Is about
all that is understood. In such signs as
where a snake seems TO be Wrlgghng
along. a cat chases d rat words that spell
themselves letter BY letter and in all other
similar signs the effect is produced by
mechanical device called flasher" which
lights the tiny electric sign lamps in the
order required 10 produce the effect. This
flasher is driven by tiny motor.
The flasher is made up OF a number OF
fingers and each finger drops in its turn
upon a metal plate that is electrically con-
nected with a certain letter or series OF
letters. or in the case Of the snake or rat
chasers, with certain bulbs. The flasher Is
driven rapidly and in this way the snake
can b. speeded around its course very
swiftly Where the only effect desired is

ulsted by law, and all non-smokers and
many smokers with a regard for the rights

he shall smoke only FIVE cigars day but
you can tel him where he cannot smoke
them, and the law can be enforced. Not

boys buying and smoking cigarettes. Now
