Lighting System
on Kline kars
BY JAMES A. KLINE,
General Manager.

The Rushn1ore electric lighting
system used as standard equipment
on all Kline kar models this season,
is without a doubt superior TO a ma
jority of the systems employed in au-
tomobile lighting and is simplicity in
itself. There has long been demand
for a dynamo which shall deliver a
practically constant output to the pat
terry, when driven at varying speeds'
1t is characteristic of most dynamos
that their current output and voltage
vary with their rotative speed.
The Rushmore system oyercomes
the difficulties of the problem and at
fords a simple, practical system whlch
can be handled and understood by the
average layman. 1t is self-regulaung
and produces substantially consta !.
current. 1t automatically adjusts us

Margherita was the lovely young bride
of the then crown prince little anec-
dote Of her reception in one of the hill
towns was current alike in society and
in the press. The little boy who was
to present the usual bouquet was the
son of distinguished literary man,
and he had been taught a pretty poem
of few lines in graceful praise OF the
princess. But when the moment came
to recite he stood mutely gazing at her
too overcome to speak. After mo-
ment in order to relieve the situation
the princess smiled and held out her
hand for the flowers. The little fellow
held back for moment, then, to the
delight Of the assembly, explained con-

Moltke paid repeated visits to his
nephew's villa, and it was there that
droll incident occurred under the chest
nut trees Of the picturesque garden.
One day stranger looking over the
garden ratings saw an old man, whose
we'll worn straw hat seemed to be-
token the gardener. ''They say that
Moltko is on a visit here. Could you
tell me, sir, whether it might be pos
sible to catch sight Of him?" The old
man replied that IL the gentleman
would come again in the course Of the
afternoon he might perhaps see Moltke
in the garden. In his JOY the stranger
rendered a mark to the communicative
gardener who promptly pocketed it.
The strangers CONSERVATION may we'll
be imagined when on his return in the
afternoon he beheld the identical old
gardener walking arm in arm with

greeting and with smile called out
to him. II have still got your mark. -

No Drinks at the White House

1t ought not to be matter of comment that
President Wilson and his family have resolved to quit
the White House fashion of getting out whisky
bottle for every old boozer that along with
thirst.
The constitution does not require the president to
give free drink to every political panhandler who
comes in with wild look in his eye and the point of

1t is beneath the dignity of the high office to
pect the President of the United States to keep
private bar for the of decrepit "colonels" and
"judges who have the price tank up elsewhere.
There are several hundred saloons around town,
anyhow, where people drink get drunk, pro-
vided by law for that purpose Besides this, there
fifty sixty unlicensed joints within pistol shot Of the
White House which the commissioners refuse to shut
up, and where liquor can be had without cumming it
off the president.
1t is source of qualification that Mr.. Wilson has
taken such sane, high stand in this we'll in
various other matters.
