Tag the Wires Is the
Advice of An Expert

A great amount of ignition trouble,
laid to other causes, Is due to the care
lcssness of the automobile owner who
attempts to rewire his motor or to make
repairs which necessitate the discon-
Meeting of all wires running from the
distributor to the coll, spark plugs,
timer, etc. If these connections are in
correctly made the motor, of course, will
not work properly. If at all.
When 1t becomes necessary to remove
wires, each terminal, and the end OF
the wire connected with II, should have
tied to them small duplicate tags bear
ing like numbers or letters. so that no
error can be made when reconnecting
the wires. 1t Is good plan to make a
sketch OF the timer, coil, battery. and
magnetic connections showing the wires
running to the several spark plugs.
Another troublesome thing Is a wire
that becomes broken inside the insul-
alton, so that 1t cannot be detected
without testing every wire in the ig-
milton system. In such case a cylinder
will 60 on misfiring until the break Is
located and the trouble is found A
handy instrument for detecting breaks
In an electric circuit Is a small pocket
voltmeter connected with a single, dry
cell. The second terminal of the meter
is connected to one end of the suspected
wire and the second terminal of the bat
terry. to the other end. II the wire is
good the meter will register the strength
of the dry cell, but IL break exists in
any part Of the circuit no current will
pass and the meter will not register.
This broken wire must then be removed
and a new one substituted.

Tip for Protecting Horns
From Short -Circuiting

Unless electric signal horns are care
fLlly wired. they NAV evince a tendency
to emit raucous sounds when least ex-
rected and without the slightest provo.
cation. 1t is disconcerting, fer instaitce.
to have horn start sorething" in
the dead of night in an otherwise quiet
garage. incidentally, II causes a waste
OF current, even Il the owner is dis
posed to turn n deaf car 10 its plead
ings. Tho reason FOR such disturbances
Is perfectly evident-a short circuit.
The rumbiinE OF some other vehicle over
the roads in the immediate vicinity may
Cause sufficient vibration to bring into
contact wires which really should be
well insulated from each ether.
Ono way to obviute such troubles is
to make doubly sure that wires that
ought to ne insulated really are insu-
lated. Another way. and one which
Is being adopted by n number OF the
better known manufacturers, is to in
close the wires in neat brass tube 50
that they cannot vibrate either on the
road or in the garage. Thus the I'M
slightly wires are gotten out of the way
and neither water nor vibration can
caHse them to short circuit 1t is cs-
seniial of course. that the insulation OH
the wires BE- perfect before they are
drawn into the tube or the remedy may
be worse than the disease.

Chicago Likely to
Secure Grand Prize Race

1t looks now as though the Automobile
Club OF Americas contest committee
will give the grand prize race to Chi
cago instead OF Milwaukee. leaving the
latter city to promote the Vanderbilt
Cup classic. Labor Day was proposed
for the running of the cup race. but as
the Indianapolis speedway management
have an option on that date some agree
ment must be made before anything
definite can be announced.
The Milwaukee dealers were advised
of this fact and September II and 2.
were the dates suggested for the Grand
Prize and Vanderbilt Cup contests. The
fact that no request for date for the
Grand Prize has been made has led
many to believe the truth of the report
that contributions are far below ex-
pectations, and the Milwaukee dealers
have approached Chicago motorists with
with a view to the latter taking the
Grand Prize off their hands

Motorists Interested
In New Regulation

Washington motorists are much inter-
ested in a new ordinance recently put
into effect in Kansas City, Mo, which
enables the police to control pedestrians
In the town district the same as they
do the drivers Of motor cars and other
vehicles.
Visitors to Kansas City are surprised
to find themselves hailed by a crossing
patrolman for cutting corners. In Kan
sas City the walker must follow the
sidewalk. and those that do not are
told that II they are caught doing the
same thing over they will be taken to
the police station and fined. There is
aa penalty of s. to $50 for this offense.
This new law has been in force for the
past month. and has proven very salts
factory. The chief advantage of the
new law is that 1t makes II much safer
for the driver of any kind of vehicle.
There is no congestion around the main
corners, and visitors marvel at the ease
with which the traffic squad handles
the traffic.
New York Is giving serious considera-
ton to controlling the pedestrians, while
in Chicago an ordinance with this end
in view is in course of preparation, 1t
is declared.

New Use Discovered
For the Motorcycle

a new use for the motorcycle in time
of war has been discovered by a United
States medical officer, who is having a
special machine constructed to carry a
complete x-ray OUTFIT. This when placed
on the rear guard of the motorcycle,
can be carried to all parts of the bat
tlefield and placed in immediate service.
A dynamo, coils and all other appar-
atus necessary for operating an X-ray
can be carried, a belt can be attached
on the motorcycle motor and dynamo
and electric current produced. This
power will produce the x-ray which
may be used by physicians for examin-
battle.

Pushing on Tenders
And Radiator Cap Bad

While the raditor cap and the mud
guards of car are sometimes most con-
venient for handholds when pushing the
machine around by hand. they were not
designed for any such purpose, and
many a started" cap and bent mud
guard can be traced directly to the ener-
getic push Of heavy man. Some cars
will stand such things but the only safe
way is to take no chances and push on
something that cannot be damaged.
