FIRST SIGNS OF CHRISTMAS.
Red Cross Seals Make Their Appear
ance Throughout State

Red Cross Seals Make Their Appear
ance Throughout State
Perhaps you hadn't realized it,
but Christmas is not so very far off
and if you don't watch out, Santa
Claus is going to catch you unpre-
pared on December 25th, with a
foot in your stocking, where, by all
rights and customs, there ought only
to be void and an expectation.
There is no more sure sign that the
holidays are upon us, than is afford
ed by the knowledge that the Red
Cross Christmas Seals are on sale,
the little stickers which are sold all
over the country each year during
the Christmas season to raise funds
to fight tuberculosis and to better
health conditions generally.
The 1916 Seals have made their
appearance throughout the state and
in consequence great many organi-
cations, individuals and school child
rem will devote considerable time
and effort between now and New
Years in an attempt to make this
seasons sale surpass all previous
ones. The Maryland, Association
for Prevention and Relief of Tuber-
culosis, which acts as state agent for
the Seals, has been gradually but
consistently developing and extend
ing the state sale until now there is
scarcely town or hamlet in Mary
land where there is not selling
agency of some kind. The Associa-
ton benefits directly only from the
sale in Baltimore City; of the funds
raised from this source in the coun-
ties, the Association receives but a
small share, the larger proportion
remaining in the territory where it
originated. In this way, people who
buy Seals can feel that their money is
going to be used to better the health
conditions of their own community.
The Christmas Seal does two very
definite and desirable things first,
it, is a powerful educational factor,
in that it directs the attention of
hundreds of thousands of people
here in the state to the need for more
healthful living conditions and OBJ
ltains the active personal cooperation
of many others in furthering the
"better health" movement, including
the children who assist in selling the
Seals; and secondly, the Seals sup
| ply goodly share Of the funds
necessary for financing the many
things that have to be done through
out the state to bring relief to peo-
pie, suffering with tuberculosis and to
keep the general public alive to the
vital issues involved.
The feeling around the Associa-
tion's headquarters is that this year
will see the total state sale run up
safely over the 100000 mark
Zone Per Capita" is the 1915 slogan
which if successfully carried out will
mean a sale of 100000 Seals, &C
cording to the Census figures of
! 1910. The state sale in 1913 wa
100000; in 1914, 714,000 and in
1915, 985,O00 Seals. For the pas
two years Maryland has taken sec.
ond place with it's sale among the
states of Class B of the National
Competition, which class is composed
of seventeen states with populations
of from 1,250.OOO to 2,40O, 900,
Minnesota having had the lead both
years in this class.

at is becoming the practice to take
all current for lights, ignition and
other purposes direct from the bat
terry, using generator TO recharge
it. Inside of year at the most the
bottom of the battery will become
filled with a sediment from the
plates. This causes an internal short
circuit and the battery will discharge
itself inside instead OF outside. At
least once year a battery should be
taken apart and the sediment cleaned
out.
Some generators are constructed
so that they can be adjusted to de-
liver more current on demand; that is,
there is one adjustment for summer
and one for winter running Wherever
it is possible to thus adjust it should
be done. Otherwise, when a battery
loses voltage it, can be taken off the
car and be charged. 1t need not be
necessary to leave it for a twenty
hour charging period; if taken soon
enough it can be charged in six
to ten hours, or when the car is laid
up over night. Two nights would be
enough at any rate.-New York

Saxon Six Rides the \
/ Ruts Along Border

Just recently a, Saxon Six touring
car made a run from San Antonio,
Tex, to San Diego, Cal, taking in
every militia camp on the border and
traversing roads in the Texas wastes
that never before have felt the wheels
of a motor car. 1t carried represen-
tatiyes of film company and mo-
ton picture outfit
Reports from various points along
the border are full of praise Of Saxon
performance. Starting from San An
tonic, the party of movie operators
encountered the severest transforms
that have swept across that section of
thescountry in twenty-five years. Near
Finley, Tex, the Saxon plowed
through miles of mud and not once
was it stalled. From Eagle Pass,
>after strenuous trip, the party wired
fhe Saxon dealer at San Antonio that
the car was "in better condition than
when it left there" e. ~.
Unlike the usual border trip, which
follows more or less beaten path,
the5route of the movie" car was cir
cuitous and led into the desert coun-
try.' Uncle Sans soldiery, late milit-
ianien of the forty-eight states, are
not all encamped along the main
trails. They are lodged in little passes,
at water holes and along the bluffs
of the Rio sGrande, miles from vii
lagos or railroad In fact, they are
everywhere that Villa or Carranza
troops might pick as a place to cross
the boundary line. And the movie"
car visited them all.
Between Del Rio and Juno, Tex,
the Saxon forded the Devils river in
FIVE places. Out of Lanno Grande it
travelled a road that motor cars had
never taken before, and at San Ignatio
ran'sinto heavy rains and high water
that threatened to malt the trip. The
Saxon, however, went through the
food district without trouble.

BATTERY TROUBLES
Careless Motorists Soon Run
Into Difficulties Due to
Seasons Changes. .
SAVES MONEY AND WORRY

A frequent complaint now to garage
man and battery or electric system ex-
pert, with the coming of shorter days,
has to do with the battery.
1T is more difficult to keep the bat
terry charged at this time of the year
than it is in summer" said H. c. Bro
kaw, principal of the West Side Young
Mems Christian Association Automo-
bile school, New York City. THE
reason is that the sun sets earlier, and
just as our electric light and gas bills
mount at home, because we light the
lamps earlier, so it is with the auto.
The driver who obeys the law uses
more current.
"A complaint came in the other day
from an owner who was experiencing
trouble with his electric plant. The
lights would not work right when he
was running. Starting out there was
light, but after running a short time
there was trouble. The lamps were
fitted with DINNERS, and these would
not work at all times; sometimes one
would light and the other fail. Next
the Observation-Disclosures to honk at
times and got so it would only work
after the car had been running half
an hour or so. This was the case
was asked to diagnose.
"While trying to determine the
cause | began to question him. ! found
that the owner was employed during
most of the daytime and only ran his
car nights, with the exception that he
was making long trips on Saturday
and Sunday, and ran quite late into the
night both days. During the week
nights his trips were short with nu-
nerous stops. This caused a frequent
use of the self-starter. He found it
took longer to start the car, natural
result of the cooler weather.
. Starving the Battery.
II became convinced that the bat
terry was being starved; that is, that it
was not getting enough charge to
keep the storage battery at its best.
There seemed to be no trouble with
the wiring, and told him he had bet
ter have the battery charged and see
if his troubles would not end. He
protested that his generator was sup
posed to attend to the charging, but
he had it done at the garage and his
difficulties were solved.
T. "His trouble was that he did most
of his running at night and, as he
carefully observed the speed laws,
consequently the generator did not
generate very much extra current and
the battery was being recharged at a
very low rate, while being discharged
at regular high rate. In other words,
he was chopping off both ends-burn-
ing both ends of his candle. He was
using an excessive amount of cur
rent and generating less than usual,
because Of running at night, starting

Don't Tamper With
Your CarburetOr

When il comes to tampering with
the carburcator on car, the best ad-
vice is don't" So says Max Hagel-
stine, manager of the service depart
ment Of the Studehaker corporation,
THE first thought with so many
motorists is to change the adjustment
of the carburctor with every decided
change of weather." said Mr.. Hagel-
slime. They seem to think the car
buretor ought TO be adjusted one way
when the day is cry, another when
it is wet, still another when it is hot,
and again when il is cold.
Now, it is true that the mixture
should be rich or lear, according to
the kind Of weather. But adjustment
of the carburctor is the wrong way
to secure the proper mixture. The
right way is to make use OF the
choke which on Studebaker cars is
located on the dash, Pulling this
choke out secures rich mixture, and
that method should be adopted when
the motor is cold. After the engine
is running for a while and gets warm,
the choke should be pushed in.
what happens when the carburetor
has been tempered with to secure a
rich mixture is that gasoline is

COLE MANS 'DON'TS'
FOR AUTO DRIVERS
1t is Poor Policy to Abuse

WATCH YOUR CAR ALWAYS

"A. F. Knobloch, general manager
of the Cole Motor Car company Of
Indianapolis, where the widely known
Cole Eight is manufactured, is firm
believer in the theory that anything
with merit is worthy of good treat
ment," says Low Traynor, local Cole
representative. eff he has one partic.

ture of automobiles, it is Sensible
operation of automobiles after they
have left the factory. With this in
view, he has prepared a series Of
'Don'ts' for automobile drivers and he
does not hesitate to acquaint the pub
lie with them
Here are some of his "Don'ts":
Don't put oil in the engine without
first making sure that it is free from
dirt and lint
Don't race the engine when it is not
drawing the car. There is no worse
abuse.

Don't neglect your tires; use the
pressure gauge and maintain between
seventy and eighty pounds pressure.
Don't fail to inspect the level Of
liquidisin the storage battery every
two weeks. -
Don't drive with your feet on the
clutch or break pedals.
Don't let your car stand with head
light full on. 1t is unnecessary and
it runs your battery down.
Don't drive fast on slippery
streets.
Don't drive with fully retarded
spank.
Don't start motor with wide open
throttle or advanced spark. -
Watch Gauge.
Don't neglect the fabrication of
your car. Watch your pressure
gauge.
Don't drive fast around turns or
over rough roads.
Don't apply brakes suddenly, ex-
cept in cases of emergency.
Don't attempt to shift into reverse

Have gear shift lever in neural.
Don't leave your ignition switch
on when motor is not running.
Let Carburetor Alone.
Don't tamper with your carburetor
unless you know it is out Of adjust
ment, and not even then unless you

often and running slow to observe
the speed laws. Up to certain point,
the amount of current which goes
into the battery is increased in pro-
portion to the speed of the car.
Generators are constructed so that
they will deliver a normal charge to
the battery for normal running; they
must not be constructed so they will
send out an excessive current, or they
overcharge the battery, and that is
harmful. The sun sets much earlier
and the cool weather makes it neces-
sary to use the starter more. In
warm weather one little kick will
start the car off; in cold weather il
takes often from half a minute to a
minute.
Effects of Cold Weather.
Most engines now are equipped
with carburetor check and printing
devices to facilitate starting when the
engine is cold, but even with these
extra current is consumed in turning
the engine over more to start than
when it is warm. Then, too, the
storage battery drops off in eff
cheney as the temperature is lowered
and will not deliver so much current
on full charge as at higher tenn
perature. This comes at a time when
there is a greater call on the bat
terry, and where battery falls down
under such circumstances as those
above related, it is wise to get an

Feature N. Y. Legislature
By .Associa.td Pres

Albany, \. Y. April 20.-Passage of
preparedness legislation and of finan-
cial reform measures has marked the
session of the Legislature which closes
to-day.
The preparedness measures provide
for the adoption of plan for physical
and military training in the public
schools and the appropriation OF
100000 for emergency purposes of
the National Guard or for the mo-
biliZation of the entire militia for field
manuevers this summer. Included in
the financial legislation was a new
legislative budget law.
Among the constitutional amend
ments approved was one to provide for
woman suffrage. This measure must
he again passed by the next Legis-
lature before it can be submitted to
the voters in Il general election.
One of the laws passed makes mo-
tion-picture films subject to State
censorship and levics new taxes upon
them. Taxes also were placed upon
motorcycles. Numerous amendments
to the labor laws were enacted. One
gives the State Industrial Commission
wider latitude in construing'the indus
trial code and permits women under
restrictions to work an additional
number of hours.
