The car that !s economical in any

Grant Motor Car Company, OF Find

FEATURES OF KLINE KAR
ELECTRIC LIGHTING SYSTEM


The Rushnore dynamo electric
lighting system, used on all Kline Kar
models. is without a doubt superior to
q ina jority of the systems employed
In automobile lighting and Is simpli-
city In itself. There has long been n
demand for dynamo which shall de-
liver Il practically constant output to
the battery, when driven at varying
speeds. 1t is characteristic OF most
dynamos that their current and vol
tage vary with their rotative speed.
The Kline Kar system overcomes the
difficulties OF the problem and affords
simple, practical system which can be
handled and understood by the aver
age layman. IT is self-rcgulating and
produces a substantially constant cur
rent. 1t automatically adjusts its out
put to correspond to the demand with
out attention from the car owner. No
man likes to be called upon to master
technicalities and learn the workings
OF some complicated mechanism be-
fore he can secure proper service from
his car. This is not necessary with
the Kline Kar equipment.
This dynamo is of simple, iron-cla
bpolar type. All parts are inclosed
and the armaturc runs In annular ball
bearings. so that fabrication Is requir-
ed only few times year. AS there
is absolutely no sparkling, the brushes
and conimutator will last probably as
long as the automobile itself.
The dynamo is used In connection
with Il storage battery ignition system.
The battery is mounted on a battery,
which is bolted to the side member OF
the frame just in front of the trans
mission, on the lcft-hand side. 1t Is
driven by means of n silent chain from
the main transmission shaft on which
geared sprocket is placed for the
chain.
Unlike the average automobile
lighting dynamos. this ono delivers
sufficient average current to take care
of the entire demand Of the lamps so
long MS the engine Is even turning
over. Daylight charging Is. therefore.

condition.

BERLIN, July 26.-The capital is

arrived that Servia had rejected Aus

were no longer to be avoided.

that destination at the double quick.
Isolated shouts of War with Rus

him in that event is uncertain, although
there is much talk of Secretary of War
Garrison.
The Secretary of War, since he has

not alone a capable lawyer. but a man
of tact and force. He is said TO be
about the only man in the Cabinet who
speaks out his mind to the President. 1t
is well known that most of the Cabinet
officials acquiesce in whatever the Presi-
dent suggests. Secretary Garrison Is
said to speak his mind freely. and II he
doesn't like a White House proposal he
says so in plain English.
President Wilson, in any event. thinks
well of Garrison. However there is a
reason why he might not be made At
