Somebody else will have to write
about Bristol to the metropolitan
newspapers, north and south; work
he did so we'll, and in which he de-
/ lighted. A modest, ipublse-spirited
citizen has passed from among us to
another and, we believe, a higher
sphere of action. Mr.. N. B. Remine
will be missed in Bristol. He was
Bristol's friend and always so; never
a knocker. This city can ill-afford
to lose such man.
ITO his family and to his friends
it is consoling thought that he lived
such a useful life and was so highly
esteemed by those who knew him
best. His footprints may be seen
here and there in the city's corporate
and civil life; everywhere he was
recognized as a man ready to stand
in his place and do his part. But the
object of this article especially is to
emphasize and pay tribute to his life
and character as the friend Of the
Negro race, as well as the white. 1t
made no difference to him; he was
the friend of man, and the Negro
Business League of this city found
in him a warm and generous friend.
He was ever ready to do all in his
power to help them devise and exc
cute whatever plans seemed feasible
for the promotion of the highest and
best interests of our people.
"He was devoid of race prejudice
and along with others here Of like
spirit he did much to make the Negro
population of Bristol prosperous and
happy. We lay this little flower on
his grave with sincere gratitude in
our hearts for all he did here for our
people. 1t is through and by the
encouragement of such white men as
Mr.. Remine that we have attained
standing in this community for intel
ligence and thrift hardly equaled

he was known through his work in
the press Offices Of many of the larger
cities.
For many years Bristol colored
people regarded Mr.. Remine as one
of their staunchest friends, one who
was ever ready to give them aid and
advice; friend who never failed to
lend his unselfsh energy in their be-
half on call. The appreciation the
colored people of the city felt for
his interest in them and the regret
they felt at losing him as a friend is

car further on the same quantity of
gas When the point of maximum
power is passed the increasing rich
hess OF the mixture not only furnishes
no additional power. but in reality
takes away an appreciate part of the

use Of less gasolene.
In other words, with rich mixture

Jhe adjustment of the carburetor

there have been strong tendencies to
make the primary adjustment of the
needle valve unduly rich for the pur-
pose OF readily starting the cold en-
glnc with the newer carburetors the
choKe to the primary air inlet, and in
some cases special starting supplies of
gas, have Offset this tendency. There
are, however, vast number of cars
upon which these improvements are
rot to be found, and with them the
temptation always is to overcome re-
luctant starting by copious supplies OF
gasolenc, neglecting afterward to re-
ADJUST for running conditions.~

Headlight Law To Be Strictly
Emf forced A fer October IS

ALBANY, Oct. 5.-Strict observance Of
that section of New York States motor
vehicle law pertaining to headlights
and the elimination of glare and dazzle
is requested on and after October 10
by Francis N. Hugo, Secretary Of State,
in letters this week to the chiefs of
police of the cities and incorporated
villages. Secretary Hugo has also
taken up the matter with Major George
f. Chandler of the State Troopers, with
the result that the men under the lat
ter,s command will get busy on October
10 IN doing their part toward Kidding
the state highways of one of the chief
dangers at night. Mr.. Hugo believes
that time enough has been given to
motorists for the proper headlight
equipment of their cars
When the first announcement came
from the Secretary Of States office of
the lenses and light controlling devices
that had been approved by tests that
took the greater part of two months,
Mr.. Hugo saw to it that lists of the
approved types were sent broadcast.
Thousands of motorists in the safe
since have written for additional lists
or more detailed information, many as
surfing him that they were willing to do
everything within their power so that
driving at night might be safe.
Now that the strict enforcement of
the law is called for it is to be expect
ed that there will be rush on the part
OF many drivers who have SO far ne
elected to equip their cars in a way
that will meet with the requirements
of the headlight law. There are thou
sands, and probably tens of thou
sands, of legal lenses in use which do
not comply with the law at the present
time through the fact that bulbs of too
high candlepower are being used or
that the headlamp itself has not the
proper tilt.
Judging from word which comes to
both Secretary Hugo and Major Chand-
Ter there appears to be disposition
on the part of automobilists generally
not only themselves to comply with the
law, but to see that their fellow drivers
do likewise. Headlight glare has con-
tributed toward a large number of
night accidents this year, many attend
ed by death or severe INJURIES Auto
mobile clubs and garages are cooper
ating with motorists in many cases in
aiding the latter to determine whether
or not their cars are properly equipped.

Evidence Of the extent to which the
automobile industry has been CON

traffic committees report showed car
load shipments of automobiles for the
month OF September to have been only
ll''oo, compared with 2O,538 for the
same month last year. One plant after

Keep Trying Until You
Find Out What s

By William II. Stewart, Jr.
President of the Stewart Autoneo-

President Of the Stewart Autoneo-
bile School.
Speaking of ignition trouble, a con.
versation l overheard is very interest
ing.
How is it you always lay your hand
right on the trouble every time you go
after it," said my friend to the repair
man who was working over his car.

''In the majority of cases YOU do.

Judging from what | have seen YOU DO

WHAT particular detail are you looking
for now?'
Il am trying to get spark"
But Why look for a spark instead
OF something else? And what other
trouble might it be ?"
The trouble man waved his hand ma
jestically.
There are FIVE reasons why an en-
CINE should run-"
And about five thousand why II
shouldn't,' said my friend The trou-
Bile man eyed him approvingly and went

beng carried at the proper point. In
general it might be said that the spark
should be advanced until the engine
knocks and then retarded and carried
at a position just below the knocking
point. Occasionally there will be
found an engine that will not knock
when the spark is too far advanced
but this fault may be detected by a
falling off in power and the laboripg
OF the engine. The latter causes a no,
culiar vibration Of the engine, which
may be felt throughout the car.
Refining Needed
Recently 7 had an experience in
travelling over the Catskil Mountains
After climbing for about two miles I
noticed the power falling off de-
cldedly and very soon the rad ator be-
gan to steam. 1t was necessary 70
drop back to second and then to first
speed gear and the engine would
barely pull the car even on first. |
also noticed that the spark lever
could be advanced fully without caus-
ing the engine TO knock with the
throttle wide open. This LED TO an
investigation which showed that the
spark was occurring very late. The
spark timing cam was shifted to give
the spark its proper time and the ra-
dlator was retilled and the remaining
two miles Of the hill were negotiate j
mainly on high speed without diff

Later, on a more thorough investi-
CATION, it was found that the chain
which drove the ignition device bad

That was a very good demonstration

together with the waste of gasolene.
due to too late spark. The waste OF
gasolene is made clear by the fact that
the throttle was wide open and the
cylinders were taking in a full charge
of mixture. but gave very little power
in return.
The point at which the spark IS 10
be carried depends somewhat upon the
throttle opening; that is, az certain
engine speed with the throttle nearly
closed the spark may be carried prettv
well advanced. but as soon as the
throttle is opened and before the en-
CINE speed is increased the engine will
knock. SO that the position at which
the spark lever is to be carried de-
ponds upon the engine speed and the
throttle opening.
Generally speaking, the spark IS ad-
vanced as the engine speed increases
and is retarded as the throttle open
ing is increased so these things must
! be taken into consideration in deter
the spark lever Patriotism, nj not
economy, suggests that the driver
should test out his particular engine
and ascertain just the point of ad-
vance which will give most efficient
service.

, urers the makers listened to reports
of the gasolene and tire situation
which indicated ample future normal
supplies for all useful motor car driv-

The makers are carrying on cam
raign for conservation Of all kinds OF
materials used in automobile factories,
including repair parts, with the elimi-
nation OF equipment of d character not
absolutely essential.
The export committee meeting re-
ported to the chamber it's plans for ex-
ports of automobiles after victory is
won. Exports of the automobile indus
try have exceeded S10O,OO0,OOO a year
and countries throughout the world
look to America to supply their needs
TO- passenger and freight carrying
vehicles. There were exports last year
to eightytwo different countries, in
GLIDING fifteen cars and one truck to
Iceland.
AT the truck meeting, with practi-
cally every important truck maker in
the country in attendance, there was a
general discussion of the government
needs in trucks and the best measures
for their prompt care. In addition
there is an increasing demand for
trucks for essential industries involved
IN war work, directly and indirectly,
which is placing d burden on the truck
builders
Victor L. Brown, of the commercial
vehicle committee, presided at the
truck gathering, addresses being made
by George H. Pride, of the highways
transport committee of the Council of
National Defence, on the work Of that
committee and the need for better
roads, particularly for military uses
George NJ. Graham spoke on "How
the Motor Truck Indutry Is Affected
by Developments in Washington"
Other addresses included: S. \.

Plans for Solid Tires
he makers discussed in detail the
suggested Standardization of solid tires
en- motor trucks, wherein there will be
eliminated a large number OF the odd
sizes that require the carrying of eX-
cessive stocks by dealers, bringing the
number of sizes down to Il compare
lively small number, as was done in the
pneumatic tire Standardization plan,
which resulted in the Standardization
OF seven rims and nine sizes of tires,
eliminating more than 200 odd sizes.
By invitation C. C. Hanch, chief of
the automobile products section of
