WHY THE AMMETER?
Waterman of Electrical System
Has Important Duty.

What do they put ammeters on cars
for. anyway? Ask a whole lot of mo-
florists that question and they will
tell YOU they don't know. says an edi :
torlal in the current issue of Motor
Life magazine. That may sound queer
TO the informed type of car driver,
but it is nevertheless the fact
The ammeter tells whether the gen.
orator is working properly. or wheth-
er you have short circuit which is
draining the battery of it's electrical
energy. The ammeter is the little
Waterman of the electrical system.
Whenever the car is running at
speeds of about fifteen miles an hour
or over. the ammeter's little indicat
ing hand should be over on the charge
side. telling the charging rate The
only times it should indicate discharge
are when the starting motor is in on
Grafton and when the lights are on
and the car is not operating fast
enough for the input of current to ex-
coed that demanded by the lights If
il tells YOU current is leaving the bat
terry at any other time, then you know
something is wrong.
Pay some attention to the ammeter
You cannot appreciate what a good
friend it is until you take it seriously

Chapman of San Francisco, set new
record for the Portland. Ore. to San

Mr.. Chapman made the run from
Portland to San Francisco in thirty
one hours and thirty minutes seven
and half hours faster than the best
previous running time. Even the fast
limited trains between the two cities
require thirty-three hours. so that he
lowered the train record by an hour

The party made the up-trip to
Portland in forty-four hours under
easy touring conditions, Chapman's
object being to map out the way care
fully for the record breaking return

FEWER AUTO|STS MAKE
REPAIRS ON OWN CARS
Increased Reliance on Stations for
Service Banishes Tinkering on
Machine by Roadside.

Motorists are relying more and
more on the service stations through :
out the country. instead of trying to
make the repairs themselves, accord
ing the Studebaker Motor co.
The old. familiar scene of a motor
list parked by the curb or roadside
for several hours, the object Of in
terest and amusement as he tinkered
with various features of the cars

memory" says IL recent bulletin. And
why don't We see his Kind any more?
Is it because owners have become
more motorwiser Partly. Is it be-
cause automobiles of today are better
designed and more foolproof? That.
too, is a large factor.
Important Henson.
However. highly important rea-
son. and one that is scarcely en-
phasized. for the greater efficiency in
operation of automobiles. and the alb
scnCe of serious and en- bara SSinE
troubles with most owners is the fact
that today they place greater reliance
than ever before upon the automo-
bile service stations.
The service stations. where inSpcc-
tions and adjustments are made. have
kept pace with the manufacture of
oara- il is 4 Tong step from the day
when the owner made or attempted
to make repairs out back of the house.
with the aid of a hammer and monkey
wrench. to the completely equipped
service station of today.
Fifteen or twenty years ago. the
owner of car preferred to make his
own repairs rather than trust some
machine shop, which perhaps special
ized on steam engines, to do the work
for him. There We're few mechanics
familiar with the internal combus
tion engine. and every job was an OPP
portunity for them to experiment.
Interests Protected.
To-day the owners interests are
carefully protected. Service stations
have sprung up in all cities. with
every facility for the quick, efficient
inspection. overhaul or adjustment of
cars. Every labor saving device is
used. highly trained specialists are
in charge of each department.. and
adequate supplies of parts are car
ried to prevent delays. The large
and more progressive manufacturers
and dealers operate on the 'f1at-rate
plan entirely-that is. an examination
of the car is made and the owner is
informed in adj: ance what the cost
will be.
The process of service has no doubt
taken some pleasure away from the
fellow who is handy with tools and
likes to tinker with machinery but
he is happier than in the old days
because his car is always ready to
serve him"

BALTIMORE. October 23.-The fact
that the obtaining of license to
drive an automobile in the streets OF
the District of Columbia is just
little harder than securing mar
riage license in Baltimore does not
mean that the same person who OBJ
tains such permits so easily can get
a Maryland license upon presentation
of his Washington credentials, &C
cording to Col. e. Austin Baughman,
motor vehicle commissioner of Mary
land.
The department OF motor vehicles
is very familiar with the laEity in
the system of Issuing licenses In
Washington, and although the two
departments are closely allied. issu-

the same motorists. the Maryland de
