LOCAL SHOP INSTALLS REMARK
 ABLE ELECTRICAL DEVICE

Local motor car owners whose cars are equipped with electric starting and lighting systems will be interest el in a remarkable device just in- stalled by Putnam Auto Station Hen " J Dubois proprietor. l5 lEerX street, which they recently purchased from large Chicago concern. X most interesting demonstration was made showing AMBU, this iustru- ment. in action attached tn q ear at the garage reeeutly-it was Weird to see the almost human intelhgence of the AMBU as it's indicating arrow slowly moved this way CT that on the dial showing certain conditions normal or the location of trouble or faults in the electric system on the car.
 No doubt many would say that it was impossible for any device to au- tomatically indicate the seat of trou- blef but they said of the aeroplane and the submarine-not possible yet they're flying in the air and sail ing under the sea.
 This invention and it's remarkable ability was described and discussed in the leading periodicals of the coun- try.
 The motorists of Putnam and viein- ity. are singularly fortunate in hav- ing a garage progressive enough to appreciate the advantage of owning such an instrument and they should show their appreciation in a substan- tial way.
 The garage plans to charge nom- inal fee of SIPS for test of the en- tire electrical equipment of car which will probably indicate the be- ginning of some trouble which can be quickly corrected and save a big ex- pense later. AMBU not only tells the location and kind of trouble but also how to repair 1t.
 So our ear owners need not lav up their cars or 70 to the trouble and ex- pepSe of sending parts back to the makers of the electrical equipment
 IL is said that serious derangements of electric starting and lighting syS- tens have been located and repaireA in SO minutes through the aid of AMBU
 The Putnam Auto Station people seem very much interested ia showing the instrument to any one and it is fascinating to see 1t in action. Ne surely are living in progressive age.-Adv.

"Why does the Red Cross need
money? The war is over"
National headquarters of the Ameri.
can Red Cross has answered this ques'
tion, and has outlined graphically the
reasons why it is necessary to raise
$15,OOOOOO for it's international, ma
tional and local work.
In brief the answer is as follows:
Because: The actual war work is
not completed. The Red Cross cannot
lay down it's responsibilities to the
American soldiers, sailors or marines
until everyone of them has been re
leased from service, recovered from
illness or wounds or receiving proper
care, or back in the place in the world
from which the war snatched them.
Because: The American Red Gross
is planning to launch a comprehensive
program for peace times, designed tt
prevent the needless waste of human
lives through preventable diseases ant
accidents in America; continue ant
broaden it's home service work anC
public nursing, first aid, home hygiene
and Junior Red Cross activities.
Because: BY recent act of Con
gress medical, surgical and dietary
food supplies valued at $35,OOO,OO(
were turned over to the Red Cross bJ
the government, the supplies having
been purchased for use with the Amer
lean forces, These supplies are scat
tered throughout Europe, many OF
them far from the places where they
are most needed. The prompt anc
efficient distribution and handling OF
these supplies means the maintenance
of a force of trained workers where
the supplies are and where they are
most needed.
Because: Pestilence and starvation
have gripped many European coun.
tries because of the war. These coun.
tries are unable to cope with their own
difficulties, and the only force organ.
lied with facilities capable of stepping
into the breach and bringing order
from chaos is the Red Cross. Typhus
is sapping the man strength of many
countries, and the American Red Cross
is using every available power to
check it.
Because: The Red Cross must be
prepared to meet emergencies arising
from disasters at home and abroad.
The Red Cross membership must be
maintained at its present high stan.
dard. Every enrolment is a vote OF
confidence in the past performances OF
the American Red Cross and a reaf.
