 narily serves to carry the starting crank The generator which furnishes current to charge the storage battery for the lights when the engine Is not running and for the starting motor, may be driven from any convenient shaft by means of small leather belt or a chain.
 For those who have electric lights but who have no generator and there fore must rely upon an outside source of current to charge their batteries, there has been developed two small TectiherS. These devices change alter hating current, which is widely used for home and business iIlumin ation and Is unsuitable for charging batter ies, into direct current. They are small and compact and are absolutely automatic in operation. It is merely necessary to connect them to any eiec- tric light socket and with the battery properly. connected to the terminals provided, to forget them for the night In the morning the battery may be disconnected fully charged and ready for service. Nothing could be simpler.
 Electric horns have come in for a good deal of attention almost matter of course, for it is coming to be generally recognized that the older bulb horn scarcely is sufficient in hea- wy traffic. At least two new electric horns of the vibrator type have been brought out. They are probably the simplest of all electric horns and cer- tainly they are the cheapest. They may be connected to any Six-vo1t igni- ton circuit and will give nearly twice as much volume of sound 8. bulb horn. Similarly. two new electric horns of the motor driven type have been developed within the past six months, both Of them the products of for themselves by reason of the excel Ience of their products. Both are vir- tually smaller editions of older and larger standard types and of course they sell for lower prices. Another horn which is much like an electric horn in sound though it is operated erely by depressing g. small knob, also has been brought out in the small I Ter size though the volume of sound | produced by 1t is not in proportion to it's lowered price. see the light of. day with the opening of the show are two new bumpers or lenders. One is the product of man ufactUrer who has made a reputation with shock absorbers and the other is produced by a firm which long has one of the greatest producers of bump CTS and shock abSorbers and auxiliary springs. Both of them are low in cost, | despite the fact that they are beauti 1 fully finished in brass or nickel plated 1 and are thoroughly substantial as be- come the products Of reputable mak- 1 CTS.
 It has been said that of the making 1 Of books there is no end, and with | slight alteration the same saying may l be made to fit the making of autoTno- | bile accessories; it would require a | very large sized volume properly to
  been brought out within the past year. | It must suffice to mention a few of the | more prominent ones.
 Flo, instance, there is electric 5peedon neter that has been developed by a noted firm of electrical machinery rnanuf acturers; there are any number of new windEhields and in nearly ev- i sry one of them variety of positions may be obtained by merely 1oosening | two screws; there is a new communi- | eating device, which is really a very ! small but very powerful telephone, | that those who ride in limousines may there is an automatic fire extinguisher which anyone can attach under the hood of a car in a few minues and | which is designed automatically to ex- | gerous proportions.
 An oil producing company has just | brought out a new anti-freezing mix | ture which is bright red so that it also | serves to indicate leaks in the radia- tor It will prevent freezing even in zero weather. There is a new device which is styled a spark indicator and primer that is designed to be attached sparks in the four cylinders can be seen at all times while the engine may be primed without leaving the seat There is a new power tire pump de- 1oIe; it is inc penSive and reliable There is new speedOmeter in which II there is combined a grade indicator There are any number of new tire i| grips that have been developed with he experience of last winter and many winters before that in view and one cturer of an outside tire pro- tector has brought out a novel tread in which the smaller steel studs are aIternated with large ones calcuiated to bite through ice and snow. and Icrape an acquaintance with the road tself.
