Auto Operators, Motormen
and Pedestrians Should
Remember "Safety First"

Lack of cooperation on the part of
pedestrians, operators of automobiles
and motormen of street cars in the
observance of the rules of safety

police say, make it difficult to en-
force the rules of the road and make
safe the more dangerous street cross

traffic and where two lines of street
cars cross,
If every one personally interested in
safety at the crossings. the traffic Off
GERS point out, would take ordinary
precautions at these points and keep
in mind the slogan accidents do not
happen, they are caused" there would
be an easier solution of the traffic
problem.
what is necessary to this end, the
crossing officers say, is for every one,
auto operator. street car motorman
and psdeetrian. when approaching
these crossings to remember the rule5

1.-THE modern health crusade" start
ed last Sunday among $4,000 school
children of Washington under the aus
pices of the Junior Red Cross and the
District Tuberculosis Association, is
meeting with hearty response on the
part of the children and the teachers
and parents of the children.
Each child who has entered the con-
test, which is to be carried on for
est in the crusade and endeavoring to
meet religiousIy the eleven chores
contained in the terms of the cam

Mrs. Grant Kept Busy,
Mrs T. r. Grant. CRUSADE leader
acting for the joint organization as
supervisor in Washington of the cam
paign, is working earnestly TO impress
upon children in grades ranging from
the fourth to the seventh. inclusive,
the necessity of cleanliness, plenty of
air and sleep for good health.
Despite the fact that tea acherS in the
various schools were burdened with
sufficient work to keep them busy,
they readily approved the crusade and
are doing all in their power to fur
tner the movement by speaking to
their pupils on the results of follow
ing out closely the chores.
Mrs Grant is planning to visit each
OF the classes TO give to the children
short talks She has already spoken be-
fore large number of classes. Follow
ing the talks, Mrs. Grant asks the chill
dren a number of questions concerning
the contest.
Yesterday afternoon she spoke before
the pupils OF the Abbot School, which
is in charge of Miss s. r. Craighiu, prin-
cipal Mrs. Grant asked the pupils a
lumber of questions and they Wed with
one another in an endeavor to answer.
Speaks on Various Phases.
Mrs. Grant spoke on the different
phases of the contest and then asked
how many of their number got ten
hours sleep night. Most of the hands
went up. She then asked:
why do you go to hed?"
Again there was a generous response
of hands and one bright looking little
fellow in the back room was called upon
to answer.

Mrs. Grant learned by questioning
that many of the children had been

FIELDS PROVIDED FOR MOTORTRUCK ROUTES

that there will be profitable load on
all trucks whenever they are operated.
Keen competition is another factor
in motortruck service. Some opera
tors have found it possible to COM
pete successfully with rail service and
yet to charge rates rather higher than
were charged by the customary car
riers. Such conditions, however, are
only possible where the service Is de-
veloped on most extensive scale.
Freight and express schedules in some
districts have been unsatisfactory to
shippers recently, and by offering a
more prompt and speedy service truck
owners have developed very salts
factory business that ordinarily would
be handled by rail.
Good Roads Essential.
Good roads are prerequisite to
successful motortruck operation. Very
few operators appreciate the increased
expense which results from travel over
poor roads. The unfortunate operator
who tries to maintain his services over
highways which are virtually impas-
sable and unsatisfactory has found
that his daily operation costs far ex-
coed the average normal expenses and
seriously affect his profits.

Regions devoted to truck farming

ture of the products to be hauled, as
low-priced, bulky staples may not

Prevent Short Circuits by Watching
Insulation and Patching Worn
Places With Tape-Carry Du-
plcate Set Of Bulbs.

Most car owners believe the light
ing system on car is too complicated
TO be mastered. But it is not at all
difficult to learn how to take care of
it. The battery, the lights, the am
meter. the fuses and the wires can
readily be understood and should be
inspected occasionally. Every motor
list should know how to read hydrom-
eter and test the battery. The eel
luloid hydrometer is better than the
one made of glass, because it is not
so easily broken.
A reading of from 1875 to 1900 in
dicates that the battery is in good con-
dition and is being properly charged
by the generator If the reading is
down to 1900 it indicates that the
lights or the the starter are being used
too much.
Keep the battery terminals tight
and cover them with cup grease to
prevent corrosiOn by the battery acid.
Short circuits can be prevented by
watching the wire insulation and COW
ering worn places with tape.
Watch Ammeter Closely.
The ammeter should be watched
closely, for it indicates whether the
battery is charging when the engine
IS running. The very best type of
ammeter is that which shows the rate
ut which the charging or discharging
lakes place.
iC
speed-say 20 miles an hOur-with all
lights on, the ammeter should show
charge. If it does not, the battery
will soon be discharged. Always see
that the ammeter doesn't register dis
charge when the lights and ignition
are turned off. This would be caused
" short circuit between the ammeter
and the switch.
Occasionally an ammeter needle be-
comes bent, giving an incorrect read
ing. This may be determined by shut
ting off the lights and discOnnecting
the wire from the ammeter to the
switch. II any variation is noted it
must be allowed for when making a
reading.
Arrangement Of Lamps.
1t is always a good plan to carry q
duplicate set Of lamp bulbs for the
EAR. Note the voltage of the tail light
and the instrument light. If these are
marked 3V instead of 6V it means that
they are wired in series-that is, the
current must pass through one and
then through the other before 1t
grounds. This Is done to notify you
whether the tail light is burning. If
one of these lights goes out the other
also goes out. These lamps must not
be put in sockets marked for 6V lamps,
such as the side lights, as they would
burn out in few seconds. On the
other hand, q 6V lamp would not be

Always keep an extra supply of fuses
