What is the trouble with a generator
when the armature shaft will rotate
when the batteries are attached and
will not generate when driven at any
speed?
Either the windings are damaged,
the brushes are not making proper con-
tact with the commutator or the auto
matte switch is not acting properly.
If the brushes get stuck in the hold
ers they may not bear on the commu-
tator. Possibly the springs back of
them are weak IL they prove to be
stuck carefully file them until they
move easily in the holders without be-
ing too loose. 1t might be that grease,
oil or dirt has collected on the commu-
tator SO that there is no contact even
when the brushes work properly. The
automatic switch should cut in as soon
as the speed of the generator is suffi-
Gent 10 cause it to produce current Of
charging voltage.

when running slow? Also should the
spark be retarded on first or second
speed and particularly when there is
heavy pull?
The spark should be advanced for
running fast and retarded for running
slow, the exact speed below which
the spark should be retarded depend
ing on the individual car. Proper con-
troll of the spark is an important fac
tor in obtaining maximum efficiency
from the motor and also in reducing
fuel consumption. less gasoline being
required when the spark Is advanced
the correct amount than when the
throttle alone is depended upon to con-
troll the speed. A knocking sound in
your motor will tell you at once when
your spark is advanced too far. though
after practicing spark control for a
time you will become so used to the
requirements of your particular car
that you will never let this injurious
condition occur. Ordinarily it is not
necessary to retard the spark when
running on first or second speed, as
the motor IS turning over more rapidly
than on high gear. However, when
the engine is called upon to meet n
heavy pull of such difficulty that it is
slowed down perceptibly it is generally
better TO retard the spark sufficiently
to prevent preignition.
viii you kindly tell me the difference
between a progressive and seIeotive

They both come under the general

then give an explosion. Can you sua-

but little power on hill. The storage

We are inclined to believe that your
trouble is caused by a carbon deposit
because too much oil was used. 1t is
customary slightly to overfeed a new
car. and in a great number of in
stances the motor will require removal
OF its carbon in 300 miles. The fact
that you must clean the spark plugs
and the car has no power on hills is
additional proof that carbon is the
cause OF your trouble. A heavily car
bombed motor often will explode with
the switch in off position.
Go to good garage and have the
carbon removed, and no doubt your
troubles will cease.

that all be treated alike"
The report specifies that the wig
wag' signals should be electrically
lighted at night, as the travel on the
north and south highway is as heavy
after nightfall and during the evening
as during the daytime.
Mr.. Hooker also recommends that
the Commission use it's influence and
powers to secure the cooperation of
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
company, the State Highway commits
sion and the county of Ell Paso in
eliminating two grade crossings on
the Rio Grande, located two and one
half and four miles south of Colorado
Springs Between these points the
highway is situated between the
tracks of the Rio Grande and the
Santa Fe, and by the building of one
and one-half miles of highway on the
western side of the Rio Grande tracks,
both crossings could be eliminated and
the main highway proceed in a
straight line on the west side of the
tracks.
The Santa Fe road, represented by
Attorney Henry T. Rogers and mem
bers of it's engineering staff, stated
that plans for the protection of each
of the grade crossings on its line be-
tween Denver and Pueblo had been
prepared and submitte,. TO the Com
mission, these plans calling for the
installation of crossing bells and sign
boards.
The Rio Grande, represented by
Attorney E. N. Clark and members of
its engineering staff, made represen-
tation that it was willing to make
reasonable arrangements for the safe
guarding of its crossings.
The order of the Commission will
be entered after consideration of Mr..
Hooker's report, the evidence adduced
at the hearing and any further in
formation introduced in the form of
exhibits relative to the cost of in
stallation, etc, of the protecting sig
mails under consideration.

UTILITIES COMMISSION MAKES
RULING PROTECTING HIGHWAYS

Proper protection of IS grade cross
ings on the -.tchison. -peka and
Santa Fe railway ant the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad between Denver
and Pueblo, and the elimination of
two grade crossings just south of Col
orado Springs, is recommended in
report to the State Public Utilities
commission by its engineer, Daniel
s. Hooker.
This report was read by Mr.. Hook
re at a hearing before the Commits
sion at the Capitol building last Fri
day, at which the Rio Grande and
Santa Fe railroad companies appear
ed, through counsel, as defendants.
The hearing resulted from an investi-
cation begun by the Commission some
time ago. following complaints receiv-
ed regarding some of the crossings
on the main north and south highway
between Denver and Pueblo.
Engineer Hooker made trip of in
spection of all crossings between Den
yer and Trinidad. His report thereon
is supplemented by statement of
traffic across the several crossings,
the figures being obtained by actual
check by employees of the Commission.
After calling attention to the fact
that between Denver and Pueblo, 119
miles, there are IL grade crossings
on the Santa Fe, and grade cross
ings on the Rio Grande, his report
states that an average of 100 automo-
biles use each crossing each day. in
addition to which are perhaps 100
motorcycles, bicycles and other We
hicles, while there are ten scheduled
trains on each road each day.
Recently the Commission ordered
the railroad companies of the state
to construct and maintain uniform
grade crossings, to be made as safe
and smooth as possible and in ac-
cordance with specifications set forth
in the order
Mr.. Hooker calls attention to this
order. and then recommends the in.
stallation OF a wig-wag or visual and
audible. signal at each of the crossings
on the north and south highway.
stating that he has been unable to
convince himself that any one of the
crossings is more dangerous than any

we pledge the Republican party
to the faithful enforcement of all fed

of labor. We favor vocational educa-
ton: the enactment and rigid en-
forcement of federal child labor law;
the enactment of a generous and COM
prehensive workmen's compensation
law, within the commerce power of
congress, and an accident compensa-
