ELECTRIC TRUCK D0N'Ts.

Don't try to accomplish as much
in snow as you have on clear as
phalt.
Don't start out in the morning
until you are satisfied that your
battery has been fully charged.
Don't try to push a drift ahead
Of you. Leave it for the snow con-
tractor.
Don't sit still while the wheels go
round in the slush. Have box of
sand and a kitchen coal shovel
handy. Use sand liberally. 1t is
cheaper than electricity.
Don't throw your power on full.
Work it up gradually, not forget
ting the sand box.
Don't forget an anti-skid device
An improvised one may be made
by looping three or four turns OF a
rope around your tires.
Don't forget that time may be
gained by leaving your wagon at
the corner and making side street
deliveries on foot.
Don't let your truck stay out all
night for want of a boost.
Don't lay this aside until you
have learned its lessons.

TRACTORS SUPPLANT HORSES.
Used Largely in Municipal Work in
New York City,

Electric tractors are being employed in
a variety of ways to eliminate the mule
and the horse. Among the Interesting
applications is a five-ton apparatus which
is used by the city Of New York, which
hauls 7.5 tons of sand.
1t has a wheel base of seventy-four
inches and the frame is made Of six
inch channels. Its long body was built
by the city and designed for moving gar
bage, refuse. etc, but the tractor proved
SO much more efficient than the horses
that this work was not enough to keep
the machine in operation full time, and
as a result it is being used to haul sand,
cobblestone, etc, for the metropolis.

'At this point the battery is usually

Other Causes to Blame.

This undercharged condition can also
be brought about by other causes. 1t is
possible for the generator to be out of
order and fail to deliver current. or a
break, or ground, in the circuit may pre-
vent the generated current from reach
ing the battery. The service demanded
from lighting and starting system may
also be abnormal and cause this condi-
ton.
For example, a physician or business
man. may drive short distances and
make many stops. In this case the de-
mand on the battery for starting Is
heavy, while the generator is not run
long or fast enough to replace more than
a small part of the current taken from
the battery. --.--
The same condition may be brought
about by using the car largely at night,
in which case the lamp demand is heavy
while the mileage and speed are not suf-
fcient to replace the current used from
the battery. In other cases there Is
constant discharge from the battery
when the car is not used, and at the end
of a week or ten days the battery IS
nearly exhausted. Under such c1rculn-
stances the current furnished by the
generator under normal driving condi-
tions is not sufficient to supply every
day needs and at the same time build
the battery up to its MAXIMUM state OF
