details of appointment are the chief
features of the motor car of today. The
lighting problem has been solved by the
installation of an electric dynamo by
which Is generated electricity for light
ing all of the outside lamps and at the
same time furnishing the power for a
starter. While the electric lighting
system is several years old. ii has only
reached its highest degree of perfection
this year,
Another important Improvement this
year and one that will particularly in
tereSt the motoriSt, is increased baggage
equipment. Almost every car, large or
small, has provided for carrying extra
luggage. More and more this equipment
has become necessary because of the
motorists desire to tour through the
country for weekend trips. and often to
try cross-continent touring for three and

Loose Gear Wheels.

Many car has certain parts-gear-
wheels, for instance-bolted up to Ranges.
Sometimes these will persist in coming
loose time after time-generally through
the bolts stretching or mating the sur
faces. One of the best ways to deal with
this Is to tin all the surfaces OF both
fianse and wheel Tin the bolts (screw
threads as welD, the inside of the nuts,
wipe the timed parts smooth while they
are hot, and screw the lot together rea-
sonably tight. Then warm up and unite
the whole chock block solid. giving a
final screw-up with a short wrench. This
method has never been known TO fail,
and it is the simplest matter in the world
to undo You merely have to warm 1t
and soften the solder. You all know it is
the accepted idea to assemble gears and
put split pins in to secure the nuts but
even these little split pin ends may get
adrift and do damage. Spring washers
are altogether. admissible inside any
where; they are hardened and may break.
Many a timing gear has been ruined by

Cause of Irregular Firing.

When an engine fires i'm a jerky man
ner one of the possible causes of the
trouble may be found in the commutator,
where the springs behind the commute tor
brushes may be out of order. After the
brushes have been worn down by long
usage it will sometimes be found that
the springs which are necessary to cause
the contact between the brushes and the
armature are not long enough to serve
this purpose, with the result that a good
contact is not made when the armature
is revolving rapidly. The aggravating
part of this sort of trouble Is that it is
very hard to locate. especially as every
thing works al light when the commute
tor is tested when the engine is not run
ming. II there is trouble with the ignition
and all of the other parts of the appara-
tus are found to be in good order, II will
be good plan to lengthen the springs SO
that firm contact can be secured.

.Dimming Your SearChIightS.

Among the possibilities in connection
with the very desirable dimming of
searchights when running through traf-
tic, one which has not been exploited is
that of shifting the flame out of focus for
the time being. Ur, what amounts to the
same thing, shifting the lens reflector.
In lamps which provided with lenses
in front of the flame. the fitting of the
lens through a small angle Will inva
rably distort the rays sufficiently To
check the projection of the long distance

lens i'm front fitting of the central por-
tion of the reflector should accomplish the
same thing. To provide for such an ar
rangement would, of course, entail an al
teratiOn in the structure of the lamp,
which may make the plan Objectionable to
most people.

Auto Using Increases.

Virtual standardization of the pleas
ure types of cars several years age. and
the advancement and development in eff
cheney and refinement, are the reasons
for the rapid education of the automobile
using public. Just as soon as the motor
car demonstrated its practca bility and
developed beyond the toy for the very
rich the general public took it more ser-
ously and began to try to learn some
thing about it. The result has been that
the public has advanced with the ad-
vance of the automobile.
THE automobile industry in a little
over decade has advanced from small
machine shop, so to speak, into the
fourth industry of the United States, and
now that it is only little more than ten
years of age. experts believe it has reach
ed the high-water mark of manufac tur-

have good idea of what to expect. AS
a result of the early Information thou
sands of cars We're being sold without
the various dealers along automobile
row having the slightest idea of the
delivery dates.
The automobile and its value are just
as much understood and appreciated by
the buying public clothing, furniture,
real estate OF anything else, continued
the manufacturer In the vernacular
of the trade, the motorists of today are
motor wise. For instance. car owner
today can pick up a catalogue and turn
to the specifications and know just as
much about the machinery as the man
who designed it. He will know every
part by name well as its relation to
every other part and the result of each.
1t is for this reason that the selling of
an automobile in most cases takes place
when the prospective buyer enters the
store and sales come fast in the selling
season because the buyer has decided on
the car he will buy in the off season.
