Wiring and Connections.

A large percentage of the minor troubles encountered by the car driver are in the wiring and connections. Small grounds short circuits and cur rent leaks are due to some defect ip Insulation, especially of terminals, con- nectors, switches, Ietc. Sometimes these troubles may become the cause Df more serious difficulties if they are allowed to go without attention. A small ground in the battery circuit may result eventually in the sulpho- ton Of the storage battery, A worn starting switch has been known to cause a stripped 7fiywheelb gear and thus, although the trouble in itself may be only some little detail, it may be serious enough to give a great amount of annoyance if it is not looked after.
 In a two-wire system in order to secure ground, contact has to be made with both wires and some part of the frame of the car. In a single wire system any contact with the car frame gives a ground. In either sys- tenn all wires should be insulated from each other except at points where con tact is necessarily made, and there the connections should be soldered and and taped.
 Wires must be secured against chaf- Ing and therefore should be fastened securely in position The installation should be made so that there is no possibility Of sharp metal corners or edges cutting through the insulation and eventually establishing a ground or short circuit. Wherever grease and water are to be found wires should be especially protected because of the rotting action on the insulation.
 With these points in mind repairs can be made after they have been found by the systematic method of search explained Motor and car yi- brations will often loosen the wiring and cause poor and intermittent con tacts to be made. The connections to such units as the motor switch. dash anstruments and switches, battery, generator. motor, etc., should all be sd carefully nade that a great factor of safety is given. against possible dis connection sl
 The contact pieces and electric switches should break quickly, and not be in a position to cause arcs across the contacts, thereby burning them and quickly destroying their useful I ness Switches. conneetinnz, lamp i sockets, sometimes short circuit or wear out and should be replaced ! Burned out bulbs are obvious, and are { the first things looked for when the 1 lamps do not light They form one | of the little detail parts which must i be constantly watched in maintaining the lsSoper functioning of an electric lighting and sta1$ing system

 eff Uncle Sam haN to depend on horses and mules for his army trans port service, the Mexican expedition in pursuit or VIIIa would be an utter irnpoHszbi1lty- This is the statement of c E. Morton, special field represen- tatfve of the Packard Motor Car Com pany. on his return from a four southern border and across the line in Mexico
 ssIts a simple matter of arithmetic to prove the horse and mule useless in keeping open a long line of communi- cation in the 8cnthern republic says Merton Let us consider the line our soldiers are now maintaining between < Columbus. N M, and the present front. When left, few days ago, this was a distance of S60 miles into Old Mex leo. round trip of 720 miles neces- sary for every load of supplies carried in The Packard trucks. capable of 10 miles an hour even in that trackIess desert. made the round "trip in 72 hours of actual travel
 Army regulations call for IT miles per day as the maximum travel for mules This would mean more than 42 days for the trip At this rate, sfx-rnl1Ie team cannot haul sufficient load to keep 1t alive for the Journey. not to speak of carrying any supplies for the fighting men Each mule is fed three quarts of oats three times each day, which means for six mules nearly two bushels per day In the desert going, 69 bushels of oats would make capacity load But in the 42 days on the road the mules would consume nearly n bushels
 And the above figures do not take into account the food and water for the driver and his guards and the wa ter which must be carried, in some parts Of the country. for the animals The trucks, on the other hand, handle an almost capacity load of supplies for the men in the field besides the dations for drivers and guards and a supply of gasoline and lubricant.
 'The life of the expert drivers and mechanics who accompany the Pack ard trains is a strenuous one The men are travelling through a country that is practically a desert; they have been made the target of snfpers on several occasions, luckily without se- rious consequencess and in all ways are leading the lives of regular soIdiersE They are even served their rations from army mess outfits which travel with them under the care of enlisted cooks
 The truck trains camp wherever night overtakes them. and making camp is reminder of one of the old est principles of warfare. The 27 trucks making up the train are ma noeuvered into the formation of a hoI- low square, within which are parked the officers touring cars Then the men roll up in their blankets and sleeping bags for their rest.
 sNeedless to say. there is a strong guard posted every night. the men doing picket duty in two-heur shifts frozu dark until daylight"

AsoLisHlNo THE FAIRIES.

The fact that this 10 q skeptical age
does not mean that skepticism should
run amuck among all of our wonder
tales and our legends. 1t would be An
,ntolerable condition II 1t were to have
no enjoyments beyond those Of sense
and sight. Some of the most real
things in life are those which neither
children nor men ever see. There are
wonders in the world that are unseen
and unseeable. He would be criminal.
indeed. who would close the door OF
the Imagination and Danish the land
OF dreams. says Philadelphia Press.
There IL . need OF open spaces in our
world, where the mind can wander
as 1t will and bow to no limitations
of the possible. To take out Of the
life OF today all of the sense and the
nonsense that is bound up in the
stories Of Mother Goose would be to
root up a mental garden in which grow
flowers that contain nothing that is
noxious and much that Is comely and
fair to look upon and Of real bene-
fit. The youth should not listen TO
these philosophers OF gloom. these
morbid devotees OF facts. Let these
pessimists ride their hobby II they
will, but not to the destruction OF
folklore that has been sanctioned oy
the years. and which is as without
harm as the belief that at the END OF
the rainbow is a pot OF gold to who
ever succeeds in finding the rainbow's
end.
