MONTPELIER DELEGATION
VISITS STAR VALLEY
Makes Trip Over Montpelier Alton Road And
Finds That Considerable Money Could be
AdvantageouSIy Spent Thereon.

On Thursday, September 9Th. q
large delegation of Montpelier cit
izens, together with Commissioner
Evans and PstsEssnv visited Alton
I'm the interests Of the Star Val7
Aley road. A meeting was held at
the Afton theatre, at which the road
situation was discussed by prominent
citizens of Alton and the visitors.
While the people OF Alton and Star
Valley are very much interested in
the building of the state highway
from Cokeville through Star Valley
and the Grand Canyon to the Park,
yet all spoke in favor of the Star
Valley road from this city as being
the most practical route for travel at
all times Of the year and also the
easiest and cheapest route to con-
struct a good highway, and promised
to give the building of this road their
support. They assured the Montpel-
Ter people that the common interests
of Bear Lake Valley and Star Valley
demanded the building and maintain
ing OF a good highway between Alton
and Montpelier.
Most OF the road between here and
Star Valley. through Montpelier Can
yon and Grow Creek, is in very bad
condition, especially that part OF the
road in Bannock county which has
had little or no work done on it in
years. II is in no sense a practical
road. It needs a complete rebuilding
and the grades need changing. In
fact. no money should be spent on
that part OF the road until it has been
surveyed and Laid out by q road en-
gineer.
The question OF changing the road
between Snow Slide Canyon and
Beaver Creek. 30 as to avoid the
heavy grades on Giveout and Koe-
vene hill, as well as Thomas Fork
and Corkscrew grade. is under con-
sideration. What looks like q prac-
ticaI route can be had by leaving
Snow Slide and finding a grade up
the divide between there and Beaver,

CHINESE DRILL FOR WAR
lntcrncd Refugees From Mexico Pre-
pairing for EycMualitics.

COLUMBUS, n. NJ, May ia
Chinese regiment is being drilled in
the United States which could answer
a call to the colors at any time if
China should declare war on Ger
many.
The regiment is composed of the
Chinese refugees from Mexico who
accompanied General Pershing $
troops out of the southern republic.
As the exclusion act prohibited them
from being admitted to the United
States, they We're given asylum here
and are being fed by the Chinese Re
lief society formed by the Chinese
tongs of san Francisco.
AS these Chinese refugees have no
work to do they have been formed
into military companies by Major Par
ker, of the local military command,
and they are put thru daily drills,
using sticks for guns. The Chinese
have become proficient in the manual
of arms and the more simple drills
and make a presentable appearance
while at drill.

ure ! ! have placed the fuses be-
tween the battery and switch, while in
Figure 2 the fuses are between the
switch and lights
| might say that all cars are not
furnished with fuses.
Note how the tail light IS connect
cd so - to light when either the head
or side lights are lighted.
Lighting System Troubles.
Failure of the lights to light may
be due to disconnected or broken
wire which can be found by tracing
tho circuits. II may be due TO short
circuit, also found by tracing the cir
cult and by looking for bare spot
on tho wires. II a bare spot Is found
wind insulating tape around It. Short
circuits are very liable TO be found
at the ends of the wires or ut the
terminals.
A short circuit in one of tho other
systems will affect the lighting sys-
tenn, as by giving an easy passage for
the current, not enough will 60 to the
lights TO make them burn.
\ blown fuse. discharged battery or
faulty switch will also be the cause OF
the lights failing to burn.
Dim lights will be due to a weak
battery, short circuit, poorly con-
nected wire loose bulb, bare spot on
tor of the generator being worn or its
brush springs being weak
Where fuses blow out constantly
there is probably short circuit, an
incorrectly connected or a crossed
wire. When fuses blow freely try to
find the cause before replacing the
burned-out fuse, and always be care
full to use a fuse of the same ampcr-
age as that originally furnished bv
the maker.
Where the single wire method Is
used trouble with the lights is often
due TO current from the bulb not get
ting to the ground. Paint, rust or
dirt between the sides of the bulb and
Its socket. between the socket and the
reflector, between the reflector and
the body Of the lamp. may cause
light to go out, fail to light, or to
flicker. Where n light is trouble
some today and good tomorrow this
is very often the cause.
An instruction book is furnished
with every car. Owners should very
carefully study this. especially as re
CARDS the electrical apparatus. paying
particular attention to the "cautions'
given therein. With some systems.

This and other cautions" will he
given in the instruction book. so that

on many cars the starting motor is
designed to run on a 12-volt current,
while the lights and other systems are
designed for six volts. When this is
the case, n six-cell battery is fur
nished, all six cells are used for the
starting system, but only three are
used for the lights, etc.

Only by comparison with cars of
three or fopy seasons ago is it possible
to realize what docile responsive

obedience and controlability has been
accompanied by great increase of

to sixty horse power or more, is
actually easier TO drive and far safer

that had only half the power.

also tell you II a certain fuse is
blown.
In buying bulbs you will have to
state the voltage CASUALLY 6, but on
Ford cars 81 and the candlepower de
sired, also If the bulb is to be used
with a single or double-wire method
of wiring It is wise to carry an extra
set of bulbs.
While the lighting system. with its
units, the battery, switches fuses and
| lights, is a separate and independent
system the ignition system, the gen.
orator and the starting motor are also
connected to the battery, and so in
order to save wires and to reduce the
chance of short circuits, etc, the varl-
GUS systems are connected together.
1t would be well for you to trace
the wiring of your car with the wiring
| diagram, which you will find in your
| instruction book as a guide. This
will probably prove a recreation to
you, and Will prove n great help in
! Locating trouble in the electric sys-
tens should trouble develop while on
the road.
In tracing. remember that you have
four systems, namely the lighting
! system, the units of which are the
battery switches, fuses and lights;
which are the generator, cut-out and
regulator, possibly ammeter and the
battery; the starting system, with the
motor, switch and battery as the
units; and the ignition system, the
units of which are the battery, switch,
coil and interrupter. If you will trace
each system separately, ignoring the
others while doing so, you will not
find it difficult task.
Two methods OF wiring are used,
namely the single wire and the two
wire. In the single wire method the
metal parts of the car are used for
the return of the current Tor one
terminal of the battery and OF each
of the units is grounded) so that only
one wire goes to each. In the two
wire method a separate wire. instead
of the ground, is used for the re-
turning current, two wires going to
each unit.

gram for the lights, using the single
wire method, and in Figure one

LESSON NO. 80.
The Lighting System.

In studying the electric lighting
system of the automobile, let us first
see what units are necessary in it.
First of all we must have the lights
then we must have source of cur
rent, then, in order to be able to turn
the lights on or off at will, we must
have a set of switches, and also, in
order to prevent the burning out OF
the lights, wires or other units, In
case OF short circuit, some safety
device, as a safety fuse.
As you all know, the light IS OBJ
tained from an electric bulb. This Is
a glass bulb, from which all the ali
has been drawn, and in which there
is "filament' Of fine wire made OF
some material, such as tungsten
which has very high resistance tc
the flow OF electric current. Due tC
this resistance when currents flows
thru it the filament becomes Iwhitt
hot" and so gives out light.
Should too much current go thru
the filament. as might happen wher
there is a short circuit, when certain
wires become disconnected, or wher
certain wires become crossed. the
filament will become so hot that il
will melt, or, as the saying is, burr
out.
In order to prevent too much cur
rent passing thru the bulbs many cars
are equipped with fuses. These are
simply wires Enclosed in a glass OF
in nonburnable flbre) which will burn
up when the amperage Is little
higher than the bulbs are designed
for, but not yet high enough to burn
them out.
Drivers should always carry extra
fuses with them. For the headlight
and horn, a 15-ampere G5 Az fuse
Is usually used, while for the side, tail
and dash light a ga fuse is used. You
should know where the fuse box is
located, and when replacing burned
out fuses always replace with a fuse
of the same amperage as the one fur
nished by the maker. Where the fuse
is in red fibre there is a little ring
printed on its side. When the fuse
burns out this will become black as a
rule. Changing the fuses around will
