CAR FEE SYSTEM IS
QUITE COMPLICATED
Amount Collected for Various
Vehicles Is Not Uniform.
Confusion Caused by Widely VARYING
Requirements for Registration or
Licensing Of chauffeurs, Own.
ers and Dealers.

The amount Of fees collected per
car for either pleasure or commercial
vehicles is as yet far from uniform and
is still further complicated by the
widely varying requirements for the
registration or licensing of chaffeurs,
owners, operators, dealers, etc. Thus,
If the total gross registration and
license revenues be used as basis Of
revenue, and the total automobile
trucks and vehicles as a basis for
motorcars, it is found that for the
entire United States the average fee
per car was $937. On the same basis
the state of New Hampshire received
in 1918 a gross revenue Of $20.52 for
eech motorcar, while Minnesota re.
eeived only about $1.75 annually for
each car as the registration in that
state is for three-year period.
In most states motorcars are taxed
as personal property in addition to
the required registration fees. In
Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, New
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Pennsylvania and Vermont
registration fees are in lieu of all other
taxes. Therefore, in making any COM
parisons in fees as between the several
states, this fact should be borne in
mind.

warn DRIVER BY .
DANCER SIGNAL
Many Evils May Result From
Driving Car With Emer-
gency Brake Engaged.
PLAN TO PREVENT ACCIDENT
Devlce Of Florida Man Can BE Applied
to Any "shift Gea" Type Of Car
Essential Element ls Contact
Spring on Levers.

Burned out brake-bands, broken
crank-shafts, and enormous fuel con-
sumption are only few Of the many
evils that may result from driving
car with the emergency brake locked
In position.
After a friend had told him he
had unwittingly driven over twenty
five miles under such conditions, L. B.
Robbins, Florida inventor, set about
to devise means Of preventing Just.
such occurrences. The idea can be
applied to any "shift gear" type Of
car, and calls for only the simplest
materials.
Contact Spring Essential.
The essential element is a contact
spring applied to each lever. that is,
the emergency-brake and gear-shift
lever, just far enough above the floor
Of the car to allow easy shifting.
The spring is O. strip of tempered

ROPE IS GOOD SUBSTITUTE
Some Emergency Device 10 Often Nec-
essary After Shower to Prevent
Car Skiddlna.

A summer shower occasionally
makes 1t necessary for the driver Of q
passenger automobile or a truck to use
some emergency device to prevent the
skidding and slipping Of the wheels.
At such time it always happens that
the tire chains are In the garage and
some makeshift has to be provided. 3
One tire company suggests that in
such an emergency a rope wrapped
around the tire at intervals will give
the traction necessary and will do even
less injury to the tires than chains.
The rope should be reeyed through
the spokes and tied securely. ~ r"

ELIMINATING BODY sQUEAKS
Thick Leather Straps or Washers,
Held in Position by Bolts, Will
Stop Noise.

Motorcar frames are not at all figid
under the distorting influences of an ir.
regular road surface, whereas the body
work is very much less free to bend
and give. This gives rise to slight rub
bing at various places where the frame
is in contact with the body sills, and
since these points Of free contact are
not fabricated sQueaks result. The
remedy is to insulate the body from
the frame with thick leather straps or
washers, so placed as to be held in po-
sition by the bolts securing the two.
In like manner the filler board used
with some types Of windshield to
make it conform with the outline Of
the car dash can be prevented from
squeaking by the insertion Of a strip
Of leather or felt.

lever to act as an insulator and to keep
the two metals apart. The spring is
clamped to the hose with a pair Of
common hose clamps. The two ter

piece of ordinary bell wire as shown
in the illustration.
Set Emergency Brake.
Attach a metal contact strip to the
ioor-board Immediately behind each
lever, so that, when the gears are in
"high" and the emergency brake is set,
there will be contact between the
spring strip on each lever and the met
al directly behind it.
Wire these two floor strips to q
light or bell, as preferred, which is
placed on the dash, and insert one cell

A Spark Plug, Sunk In the Bench, ard
Connected to . Coll and Battery Of
Dry Cells, Eliminates tho Necessity
Of Leaving the Torch Burning.
SIS used on automobiles or stationary
gas engines. The high-tension termin-
ais Of the spark coil are connected to
a spark plug, mounted as shown In
the detail, so that the points are
flush with the bench. In the primary
circuit Is connected push button,
which may be located on the floor,
preferably sunk into it, so as to pro-
ject no farther than the necessary dis
tance for pushing the button with the
foot. The torch Is lighted by turning
on the gas and bringing the nozzle
near the spark plug, at the same time
pressing the button with the foot. The
time required for this operation is
practically none, after the workman has
become familiar with the location of
the button and spark plug. In the
upper right-hand corner Of the sketch
is shown a simple method Of making a
stand or rack for the torch, which will
be handy In connection with the light
ing apparatus.
Safety Most important.
While the gas saved is perhaps a
small item, the element Of safety is
more important, and since the amount
Of current used is very small, the ap-
paratus will be advantageous in many
shops where the all-around usefulness
Of a welding torch is appreciated.-C.
