Don't Go Out on Your
Trip in Unprepared State

Would man start on a long walk
ing trip carrying with him an empty
iirst-aid box?" asks W. A. Cavicv,
manager Of the New York Tire Soc..cc.
Inc, distributors of United States tires
and tubes. "Yet a countless number
OF motorists start out on long drives
carrying empty rims at the back Of
their cars.
CAS- do other people who are unpre-
pared, the man with the empty rim
hurts himself most. Suppose he gets
puncture and, having no extra tire is
tempted to run short distance to
the nearest garage on debated
tire. This drive will probably cost
him several dollars mile. The
fabric, ground between the road and
the rim, is injured, so that event
ually a premature breaking down Of the
side walls Of the casing takes place.
Or, ii he Is not near garage, there is
the wait, sometimes disagreeable,
sometimes inevitably long, until our
service car can get to him with the
spare tire. which he should have taken
with him.
"A less serious accident may occur.
The tire may be cut slightly Not
enough to bother with, thinks the driv-
er, and goes on. Sand and gravel worl.

Don't 7oot Too Much

Well, even then, sometimes, 1t Is better
to do it, at that
AS rule it is easier on ones tenn
per and safer in the long run to
let the fellow who wants all the road
have it; therefore, when you hear
a speed fend coming, his presence an
nounced by a vociferous footing Of the
horn and perhaps punctuated by shout
ing. or oaths, draw to one side and
slow up. 1t costs little either in time
or effort, and if it happens to be load
of drunken, irresponsible loafers YOU
Will be safe. At the same time, if YOU
have influence with the police and other
officials, call their attention to per
sons who thus disregard others and see
that they are fined and their licenses
taken.
The meekness advised.;n letting
them have their own way--is but that
you may survive to do piece Of good
work for the country at large by bring
ing before the law those who violate
all principles Of courtesy and rules of
the road.
Blow your own horn, if you want to,
but blow it discreetly; let others blow,
too, and heed the warning lest YOU

Think Fast and Work
Faster, Is TRANSPORT Idea

-, Harold W. Slauson, motor editor of
"Leslie's'" heard recently from broth
er VINO is IN a motor transport COM
pany IN France, the letter giving a
story of rapid work under fire that
shows how fast transport man has to
think and work. Getting lot of SOL
diers up to the front in a hurry on an
important move in motor truck. n
bullet pierced the radiator, putting the
automobile out of business for the mo-
ment.
The transport motto is "Be There on
Time" so the sergeant in charge of the
company got OH the job at once. From
somewhere he rustled up a tin can. He
melted the solder out of this and
caught it in a receptacle. Using a
broken screwdriver for soldering
tool, he patched up the radiator and the
truck sped on its way.
So good was the temporary repair that
the truck not only got up to the front
in good season. but was able to be run
back to the repair base under its own
power

sAffrs. adj.

In sending out certificates for such
devices as have been approved Secre-
tary of State Hugo, in a letter to the
manufacturers, offers the suggestion
that from now on the manufacturer
shall affix label to the device, which
viii state the maximum candlepower
that can be used as we'll as the cor
rect tilt, etc, and furthermore that
the manufacturer shall accompany the
device with instructions as to adjust
ment that can be easily understood. It
is thought that such an arrangement
wlll help to clarity the situation and
make it much easier for automobilists
to know exactly what they should do.
Although there are probably tens of
thousands of cars in this state already
equipped with lenses and light control,
ling devices which are in the list of
those approved, the automobilist should
bear, IN mind that the candlepower, in
hundreds and probably thousands of
cases, must be cut down, and that head
lights must be tilted in accordance

War Industries Board
Asked That Shows
Be abandoned

B. NJ. Baruch, chairman of the Wal
Industries Board, authorizes the fol.
lowing: The National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce has cancelled
the national automobile shows of 1915
to have been held during January anc
February in New York and Chicago, al
the request of Bernard NJ. Baruch
chairman of the War Industries Board
and George N. Peek, Commissioner OF
Finished Products.
Going further to meet the views OF
the War Industries Board, the automo-
bile industry leaders have urged pro-
moters Of local shows for automobiles.
trucks or accessories to abandon all
plans for such during the coming
winter.
The reason given to the industry for
this action by the Automobile Chamber
OF Commerce is a desire to cooperate
with the War Industries Board in
plans for conservation of fuel labo,
and transportation.
The question of advisability and
practicability of holding these shows

with Messrs. Baruch, Peek, Alexander
Legge and Judge Edwin B. Parker, of
the War Industries Board, by Hugh
Chalmers and Alfred Reeves, of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com.
merce,. and Mr.. Peek strongly urged
that all such exhibitions be abandoned
for the winter. Mr.. Chalmers pre-
sented the views of the War Industries
Board to the Chamber of Commerce
and Mr.. Peek has received from Mr.
Reeves, general manager of the cham.
Der, q letter stating that the directors
OF the chamber concurred unanimously
IN the opinion of the board and have
adopted the following resolution:
"Rcsolved, That the promotion OF
national automobile shows during the
winter of 191Si9, with consequent use
of transportation, fuel and labor. would
IN the opinion of this board, be incon-
s!stent with the patriotic obligations OF
the industry, and that, therefore, ma
tlonal shows be suspended until fur.
ther action Of the association.
Resolved, That for reasons ex-
pressed in the foregoing resolution
promoters Of local and other shows be
respectfully requested not to hold au-
tomobile, truck or accessories exhibi.
tlons during the winter of 1918-19."

There has come to be such a con-
stant use Of the horn as to make it a
continual nuisance on thickly travelled
streets and even on the much travelled
highways in tho country. And the
nuisance Is not from the necessary
signalling to other cars or vehicles. but
the unnecessary footing the driver
does because he wants every one to
know that he is coming and to under.
stand that he must get out of the way.
Now, certain amount of signalling
is needed in driving, but it is possible
to drive through the thick traffic from
the Battery to Harlem without tootinr
the horn half a dozen times--that is.
If one is careful and we'll instructed

and do not blow the horn after tney
have seen you or if their direction and
speed of travel is such that they will
be out of your way before you reach
them. If they have not seen you, sound
the horn once and be ready to stop.
AS a matter of fact, the foot should,
go to the brake pedal each time the
hand goes to the horn. But if you are
seen by the other person why blow the
horn at all?
If one is driving along country
road and desires to pass another car
gong in the same direction it is Gus
tomary to sound the horn once, that
the driver ahead may not turn his car
IN front of you, and so that, if needed
he may turn to the right to let Won
pass on the left. He is the judge as
to when and where he will turn, since
he can see ahead better and knows
what distractions are to be avoided
With few exceptions. he will, when

Secretary Of State Com
pletes Tests of Motor
Car Devices

ALBANY, Sept. 14.-With the an
nouncement by Secretary of State
Francis NJ. Hugo Of the automobile
headlight lenses and controlling de-
vices which have been approved by
this state, following careful tests for
the past several months, it is now ex-
pected that the relief which will come
from the elimination of glaring head
lights on the highways will go far
toward lessening accidents chargcable
to dazzle and glare.
1t is admitted that the glaring head
light situation in this state never was
worse than during the summer just
closing. This came about not only
through the large increase in the num-
Der of motor vehicles, but also because
Of a pronounced tendency on the part
of motorists to increase the candle
power of their lamps, regardless of
consequences, so long as they were
able to distinguish objects and the
highway hundreds of feet ahead.
The list of lenses and devices ap-
proved, copy of which can be OBJ
tanned from Secretary Hugo, carries
with it not only the maximum candle
power which can hereafter be used
with any device, but the proper tilt
which must be given to the head lamps
is also set forth. 1t should be re-
membered that although many devices
are legal when used with a specified
candlepower and properly adjusted, the
same device may become illegal if not
tilted in the proper way. There is no
question that much of the trouble
caused by glaring headlights has been
the result of using bulbs of too high
candlepower.
In carrying out the provisions of
the new headlight law Secretary of
State Hugo requests the earnest CO.
operation of every motorist in order
that this present effort to do away
with the chief menace Of the highway
may become quickly operative Nat
urally enough, great deal depends on
the Individual motorst. Here are a
few things that every automobiles
should do in seeing that his or her
car in its light complies with the law
First-See that the right candle
power bulb is used.
Second--See that lenses are prop
e'iy pidCeu ana not tWlSteds that the
top side is at the top and that the
front is outward.
Third-See that the tilt is correct.
10 do this have the car on a level sur
face in front of wall or some suit
able vertical surface thirty feet or
more distant. Remove the front
glasses or devices, and by means of
focusing adjustments provided in
practically all makes of lamps move
the bulb back and forward until a
beam of smallest diameter is obtained
on the wall. By measuring the height
of the centre of the beam from the
ground and comparing that with the
height Of the centre of the headlamps
from the ground the tilt can be ascer-
tanned and can be adjusted as required.
Fourth-See that the bulb is prop
erly adjusted with respect to the focus
of the reflector with the controlling
device in place. Do this by observing
the beam pattern on the wall.
The list of approved lenses and de-
wees, the maximum candlepower and
the correct tilt follows:

In the same category would be placed
the Marmon limousine, now selling for
more than $4,000. The Franklin, Series

pay $50, and the same is true Of the
second handed Oldsmobile which l sold

Also, how about an owners car when

of the new draft laws will result in

causes which will bring about the same
result.
Obviously, it would be impossible to

urther Uses for Rubber

In the construction of aeroplanes all
shock absorbing devices are of rubber.
According to an official of the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company. which
makes everything in rubber for air
craft, steel springs are not suitable for
aeroplanes, because they "kick" back
when the plane is loaded. 50 rubber
is used. Rubber is an ideal shock abb
sorber in that it gives" to the load
and resumes it's original shape grad
