The congress that assembled to set
In order the affairs of Europe after
the recent tremendous upheaval nat
orally calls to mind the congress of
Vienna, which met over a hundred
years ago for similar purpose after
the vast upheaval of the Napoleonic
wars. Then, as now, the delegates
professed to meet to establish con-
dition which should ensure lasting
peace.
The armies of France had been ut
terly defeated. Napoleon had en-
braced in farewell the imperial eagles
In the courtyard of Fontafnebleu and
passed away to Elba. Nearly mil
lion troops, which the allied sover-
eigns had employed to drag down
the Corsican. had gone back to their
own countries for rehabilitation or
were on their way there. The wars
which, with slight intervals for re-
freshments and rest, had ravaged the
world for 1S years. were over with
one exception. The United States
and England were still at war. The
United States had come into the con-
flict only two years before, had made
no alliances or associations, and was
playing a lone hand" against Eng
land.

Europe were there. The delegates

Napoleon had changed the map of
Europe, erecting new nations and en-
larging or dismembering old ones.
The old order of things had been
blown away on the smoke of battle
fields and the delegates proposed to
rearrange the map according to their
own ideas. In spite of protestationS,

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 a most extensive scale.
Freight and express schedules in some
districts have been unsatisfactory to
shippers recently, and by Offering u
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.

Nearly four months had elapsed since
the setting out of the kings courier

Louis was on visit to the widow of
his predecessor, who lived in the royal

pIicate Set Of Bulbs.

Most car owners believe the light
ing system on car is too complicated
to be mastered. But 1t is not ut 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 Gel
luloid hNlrOmeter is better than the
one made of glass, because 1t Is not
so easily broken.
A reading of from 1875 to 1900 In
dictates 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
takes place.
When the car is running ut normal
speed-say 20 miles an hour-with all

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
by 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. If any variation is noted it
must be allowed for when making
reading.
Advancement Of Lamps.
1t is always n good plan to carry n
duplicate set of lamp bulbs for the
car. 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 it
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, n CIV lamp would not be

harmed but 1t would give very little
light.
Always keep a extra supply Of fuses
on hand. Learn the location of the
fuse for each set Of lamps. This is
easily determined by turning on all
the lights and pulling out the fuses
one at time. When fuse burns out,
lind the short circuit before replacing
1t, otherwise you will burn out fuses
just as fast as you put them in.

CARING FOR VACUUM TANKS
Fuel Feed System Should Be Cleaned
Every Three Months-Take Inner
Chamber Out

The tank of the vacuum fuel feed
system should be cleaned out at least
once in three months. The operation
is not hard to carry out. The top of
the tank should be removed and the
inner vacuum chamber be taken out.
This enables the operator to reach the
lower chamber, from which all dirt
should be removed.

ANNoYANcEs OF DOOR STRAP
Trouble May Be Prevented by Fasten-

The straps that are installed on
the doors of cars to keep the former
from opening too far often cause an
noyance by getting in the crack of
the door when it is being closed. By
fastening small coil spring to the
center of the strap. the other end Of
the spring being attached where the
strap is fastened to the body, this
trouble will be obviated.

The first place they are SAID to have
selected was the meat establishment of
BENJAMIN Lipkin. 1880 Ridge avenue.
The window in the rear of the building
was smashed. and after gaining entrance
they engaged in an imaginary battle
with the pieces of meat on the racks.
Armed with knives, they slashod
sausages, charged kinds Of beef, cutting
them to pieces. The cash resistcr then
was carried into the yard in the rear of
the establishment and smashed to bits,
yielding about So.
The boys then are said to have scaled
q fence and entered the butter and egg
store of Paul Saler, 2341 Ridge avenue.
Here an egg battle was staged. Hen
food sped through windows and walls
and fixtures were pllstered. Six crates
of eggs and quantities cf butter and
cheese were use in the fight. according
to detectives. About S5 was taken.
The damage resulting was estimated at
