Urges Traffic Rule
To Save Sidewalks
Automobile Editor.
Washington Times.

Automobile Editor.
Washington Times.
I am submitting for your approval
simple plan whereby the District
can save thousands OF dollars on
Sixteenth street extended by not lay
Ing the sidewalks now. but by Just
making a slight change in the traf-
hc regulations.
North of Piney branch on Six
teenth street, there being no side
walks. and also not many bright
lights. the pedestrians walk in the
roadway, and as there have been
two persons killed recently by auto
mobiles. / suggest that. as vehicles
going north use the east side, and
vehicles going south use the west
side, why not the walking people
travel Just opposite. "A person going
south By walking on the cast side
will be able to see all vehicles ap-
preaching.
OF course. what should be done Ia
the removing of the restrictions
against headlights also out there.
Why is not the regulation pertaining
to persons walking in the middle of
roadways enforced? Is there one
law for motorists and another for
pedestrians? Talk about discrimi-
patton! We'll. the traffic laws cover
both cases. yet only the regulation
against motorists is enforced.
Yours for health.

tion of present good times.
The company was organized last jan

follows: Jock up one rear wheel clear

Adjusting Vibrators.
The vibrators of coils should be ad-
1usted according to their individual pc
culiarities and the motor. On some
engines slight variation OF the ad-
justment will change materially the
operation Of the motor. The amount OF
current consumed by the coil depends
upon the adjustment. and II can De
made to take three ,amperes. Generally
the coil should not draw over half an
ampere, and Increasing the consumption
over that required for proper operation
does not increase the efficiency OF tho
motor. The quality of the spark ana
its length depends upon the number or
cells employed, method of wiring, and
connecting them with the coil. The
average coil will operate efficiently on
half an ampere,y ,,,s. -. ......

Purchase 1-s2-inch thick sheet brass or
similar material and cut 1t into as many
strips as there are intake valves to the

and cut to the shape shown at A. The
opening should be slightly larger than
the diameter Of the valve stem. Bend
the strip to the shape shown at B.
Next cut out felt washers as shown
at G. They should be at least ss-inch

son. Ralph w, of this city, one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Herbert P. Doane of Worces-
ter, Mass, and one brother, Osborne

THE JOURNAL HAS A
HARRINGTON CALLER

One of the callers at the Journal ONCE
Thursday was Robert Campbell of Farm
ing,on, who had run over from Winthrop
for short visit in the Capital City. hav-
ing found that he was a day ahead for
the opening of the corn shop at Win
throp, where he plans TO pass his vaca-
ton.
Mr.. Campbell said that he especially
wished to report the meeting while or
the road from Pennington to Winthrop
Thursday morning of George Thompson
and daughter of Phillips, who were on
their way to the State fair at Lewiston.
Nothing remarkable about that, per
haps," said Mr. Campbell, but when |
tell you that Mr.. Thompson is 80 years
of age and thinks no more of starting on
such a journey. it may sound like a good
bit of news"
And it does.
Mr.. Campbell is a member of the Farm
ington police force and incidentally is the
officer who, after he had yanked up an
auto driver who had neglected to put on
his lights as required by law, local
furore arose and he was asked by the
chief of police for his badge. 1t looked
as though Mr. Campbell was about to
lose his Job as a policeman, but the City
Fathers thought otherwise and now the
village has new chief of police. in
stead, though the old force remains.
Fast auto drivers drivers without
lights and other violators of the local
and state automobile laws have been
looked up and investigated and it is said
to be a noticeable state of affairs in
Farmington-the change in the attitude
and conduct of some of the auto drivers.
1t is understood that at Pennington
Fair time, strict rules will be enforced
by the regular police force, together
with a large number of special officers.
