Mankind has progressed In the art

to be the first house men built with
their hands) and the highly decorated
architecture OF the Renaissance. For
long ages man was content to house
himself in the humblest fashion, saws

The first houses were caves. Early
man was fighting animal. and had to
contend against the huge and ferOCiOus
beasts that infested the plains and
rivers. His dwelling naturally had
to be place of security as well as a
habitatiOn. Caves were natural and
artificial, the latter being followed out

Robt. ]. Gilmore Heads
Packard Motor Co.
Vice-President Is Promoted to
Presidency as Tribute to
Business Capacity

The Packard Motor Cur Company of
New York has announced the appoint
ment Of President Roger ]. Gill
more to the presidency of the concern.
Ms. Gilmore has been in charge of the
affairs of the company ever Since the
former president, Emlen S. Hare, was
made executive vice-president of the
parent company, so that his appoint
ment occasioned very little surprise
among men in the automobile industry.
Mr. Gilmore entered the Packard
firm Immediately after his graduation
from Harvard University in 1909.
After brief term in the United States
Army in connection with the develop
ment of the aviation corps, he became
territorial manager for the firm con-
slderably extending the branches of
the business in the bulk of the terri
tory between Boston and Philadelphia.
His appointment is regarded as a trib-
ute to his business capacity in view
of the fact that the New York organi-
cation handles one-tifth of the entire
Packard output, and it's presidency is
one of the most responsible positions
In the entire retail automobile indus
try of this country.

Removal Of Snow
From Roads
Planned

Removal of snow from the roads
comprising the main thoroughfares in
Northern New Jersey this winter was
assured at meeting of county en-
gineers and freeholders from seven
counties with the Highway Transport
Committee of the State Council of De-
fence at Somerville last week. Co
| operation was promised in the plans by
Essex, Hudson, Union, Somerset, Mer-
Ger, Hunterdon and Sussex counties.
Passaic County has also arranged for
snow removal, but was not represented
at the meeting.
The object of the Highway Trans
port Committee is to keep the main
routes open for through traffic from
inland points to seaboards and vice
versa for army truck transports and
other long haul transportation Accord
ing to government announcement. rail
roads will refuse freight consignments
for anything under ninety miles after
December /, and as result more traf-
tic is expected on the highways this
winter than last. This freight must be
moved without tle-up.
Appropriations for the work will be
made by the boards of freeholders in
the different counties. Motor trucks with
snow ploughs attached will be used
for clearing the roads, as will road
scrapers and graders under horsepower.
In rural communities a mat of three
/ inches Of snow will be allowed to re-
main on the roads to facilitate the
running Of sleighs, while in the thickly
settled communities and cities the
routes will be cleared entirely. This
clearing of the snow will also act as a
preservation of the roads and what is
/ spent in the work will be more than
made up by saving on road repairs in
spring.
Mercer County adopted the plan on a
large scale last winter, spending $4,000
on the work. This winter it will sur
pass that record. Other counties which
did it on a small scale a year ago will
enlarge their activities. Essex County,
one of the most popular in the state,
will do it for the first time this winter
In conjunction with Hudson County,
Essex will keep the Lincoln Highway
between Newark and Jersey City clear
of snow.
A meeting will be held in Camden
| Tuesday, November 26, for the perfect
ing of similar plans among the repre-
sentatives Of South Jersey counties. 1t
is hoped to have the entire state organ
lied by December /. Official report
forms by which the work will be tabu-
lated and the cost ascertained have
been issued by Thomas j. Wasser, of
Jersey City, engineer Of the committee.
movement also was launched before

What do you know about the electric
system on your car? Have you famil-
iarized yourself with it or is it still
terra incognito? If the lights grow
dim or fail, if the horn fails to honk
or when you push the starter pedal
nothing happens, do you know just
what 80 do because you know how the
pesky thing works? Take heart; you
may understand it all by little pa
tient study.
1t is a fact that the electric side of
the automobile is the hardest for most
persons to understand. There are many
good mechanics who can locate troubles
and fix anything of a mechanical nat
ure, but who fall down entirely when
trouble develops in the electric sys-
tenn. Manufacturers realized this, and
until very recently limited their cleo
trio equipment to magnetic. which was
very positive and dependable and had
only one wire for each cylinder and
one for the switch to stop the sparks
w c. desired. This made very simple
electric outfit, which could hardly scare
the veriest novice OR the greenest
greenhorn. That was in the days of
the hand crank.
When. it was found that the public
demanded some means of cranking the
engine besides the Armstrong" and
when the superiority of electric over
oil lamps became apparent the manu-
facturer had to add these improve
ments to the car, and the result was a
n nf Mt
complication of the electric system.
Much of the confusion occasioned by
the complex wiring will be Strengthened
out if the owner will study the system
enough TO learn the purpose of each
part.
Like Water System
1t has long been the practice to COM
pare electricity to water in explaining
its action, and this analogy may be
carried out in the case of the auto
mobile electric system. First we have
a tank for storing water; this compares
with the storage battery of the car, in
which it may be assumed that we
store electricity. From the tank we
may have a pipe, with a valve in it,
connected to a water wheel or water
motor. If the valve is opened the
water flows to the wheel and turns it,.
If the wheel be geared to machinery
it will be operated.
Likewise in the electric system a
wire may be run through switch
(valve) to an electric motor. When this
switch is closed the current flows to
the motor and turns it; ii geared to a
gas engine it will revolve the crank
shaft of the engine. This is popularity
called a self-starter. but it really is
an electric crank bar.
The water wheel might be geared

F or Packard
ruck Owners

In order to meet in a measure the
increased demand for trained truck
operators and turn out men with a
more comprehensive knowledge of the
general operation and mechanism of
the motor truck. the Packard Motor
Car Company of New York has opened
free school to all Packard owners
and drivers.
The course lasts but one week. the
mechanical side being conducted in the
morning at Sixty-first Street and
Broadway, while the practical phase is
being taught at the Long Island CITY
service station. The school is primar-
lily designed to demonstrate the es-
sentlals OF construction, operation and
proper care of the truck, with special
stress laid on how to make minor re-
pairs and adjustments. Special atten-
ton. Is also paid to the manipulation
OF the truck in congested traffic and in
operating the machine at the loading
platform. Pupils are also assisted in
obtaining drivers license. Anv one
interested in the course is invited Ia
