HORN AUTOMATICALLY TOOTS
Device Installed on dead Mans
Curve" in North Carolina Warns
of Approaching Motor.

Sound your horn !" Dangerous
curve ahead y The roads are well
fortified with these bright red warn
ings. But you can't see signs by the
roadside at night and you surely don't
want to foot your horn continually,
waking sleepers in the houses you
pass. What then?
The solution lies in the unpreten-
tious oblong piece of metal lying in the
road. AS your car passes over it a
horn a few feet in front of you auto
matically toots loud and long, letting
the people around the curve know that
you are coming.
The device is not unlike the light sig
nal system used in the New York sub
ways and that are operated automati-
cally by the trains
You will notice two treads running
iengthwise. AS your car passes over
the one on the left it will be depressed
and an arm extending downward from
1t will hit ratchet wheel This wheel
then rotates and carries with it a larg-
tT Wn6el dttdNiiSu " llo oiRll.
Contacts on the large wheel will hit
against electric brushes as it rotates.
Wires from the brushes lead TO the
norm and its motor. When the circuit
is thus closed the horn will foot.
But why have this revolving wheel
instead of ordinary metal contacts?
Because if your automobile is going at
the usual rate of 20 miles an hour the
tread will be depressed for only about
)ne hundredth part of second
much too short a time for even start
ing the motor on the horn. The re-
volving wheel tends to prolong the con-
tact.
And now for the tread on the right
side This prevents the horn from
footing unnecessarily when a car APP
proaches from the opposite direction
where it has already passed the dam
ger.
The right tread likewise has an arm
attached to it. But this arm is fixed
It an angle so that it almost touches
he arm of the left tread. Then. when Il

An experiment in road construction

sister fairies, and the only time we
ever have a holiday is when we can
disguise ourselves as raindrops and
have day Off"
"a day off ]" questioned Elsie.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Oh, dear! Didn't you know that a
fairy is just as busy as can be, run
ming about and whispering good things
into the ears of children who think
wrong things?"
No; | didn't" said Elsie. 81 never

replied the Fairy. "Only, of course,
you did not know it was fairy who

But why are you not having holt

81 was until you said such things
about us, and then ! had to change

all the time that | am sure now you
will not be cross with us for having
IL sholiday. and when you see how
bright and green everything is to-
morrow in the park | am sure you
will forgive us for playing today"
When Elsie opened her eyes, for,
of course, she had been asleep, the
Fairy had gone. But outside were all
the little raindrOps chasing each other
down the window pane. and as Elsie
watched them with great interest now
one drop, larger than the Others

others.

It rains, for | shall know it is a fairy

teeth are then cleaned with powdered
pumice on small whirling brush,
and then cleaned again with chalk.
They look beautifully white.
To keep them white-though milk
white teeth are no longer considered
so beautiful little peroxide may be
used once a week. This foams in
side the mouth and is one of the best
antiseptics that could be used But
daily use would injure the gums.
The woman should find out from her
dentist whether she is subject to acid
mouth or not. and which dentifricc
would suit her best.
The teeth should be brushed twice
O day, night and morning. Many
recommend three times daily, but
this is almost needless cleanliness.
The brush should be used up and
down, not crosswise, so the bristles
can penetrate between the teeth.
This saves much decay and dis
igurement.

THE MORNING HOURS.

you get another guess.
Some hold a great deal more of good
some hold a great deal of less.
The hours when the day is old, and
resting-time draws nigh
Are feeble. tottring hours and they
creep instead of fly.
The noontime hour is tagging some,
and goes on weary feet
The morning hours are the ones that
simply can't be beat
The morning-when you're full of pep,
the whole big day ahead!
The terrors of the night are gone dis
couragements are fed
It's youth again and truth againHcome
back with hope renewed,
With yester's wisdom standing by to
check each impulse crude.
The early. pearly hours are the ones
that can't be beat o
The hurly-burly hours when the day
is young and sweet!
