ing of his intention to make such
movements by raising and extending
the hand and indicating with it the di-
rection in which he wishes to turn.
The old law regarding turning cor

In turning to the right, the law says

and in turning to the left. drive past
the center of the intersection before
turning,
In cities and towns it is unlawful
TO oyertake and pass another car at

The law fixes the right Of way for

State was filed and the line ex-
tended east away down to Fourth
avenue and nearly to the alley be-
tween it and Fifth avenue before all
the cars were placed. Then the
parade could start, but if it passed
along Main and State street no one
saw it but those in the cars.
City Cars Worth 100000.
Then. while statistically inclined,
did you ever figure the investment in
cars in the city? If there are $500
cars and the average value is $1,000
there is no less than S3.O00,0O tied
up in cars in this city alone. In
the county the total runs to $6376,-
500. The value of the city owned
cars is equal to nearly one third of
the total bank deposits and the value
or all the cars owned in the county
is equal to so per cent of the bank
deposits in this city.

What's the big idea. all this talk
about not letting people park their
cars in Main street Saturday night
or any other night? What's the OBJ
lection to my family parking our car
along the curb in Main street early
Saturday evening and staying there
as long as we want to? What's the
street for If it isn't to park cars in?
Why doesn't the city furnish more
parking space? These are some of
the questions thoughtless ard UNI
thinking people ask when confronted
with the probability that some time,
perhaps soon, the city will bar cars
from being parked In Main street,
except. perhaps. for longer than a
few minutes at time.
The chief answer tol the question
is, suppose every one. parked their
cars in the streets, what would
happen? To get the answer requires
some figuring on estimates for ac-
tual figures are lacking.
City Owned Autos 1850.
According to the official figures in
the county treasurers' office there
are 5,314 automobiles in the county.
There is no complied record of the
number owned in this city. But pre-
Stunning that the state ratio of one
car to every 6.5 persons holds good
in the city. which it probably does,
then there are about $500 auto
mobiles owned in town.
Suppose, now, every owner wanted
to park his car in the streets at the
same time. Let's also presume that
the average length Of the cars, over
all, is twelve feet-that's not tar OF.
Now how much parking space would
be required?
Well the city made the early COM
ers start parking on the north side
of Main street parallel with the curb
and pointed west. Every car was
forced to move up close until the
tenders Of one car touched the tank
of the one ahead. The intersections
OF streets and alleys were kept open
by the police.
Line Five and One-HaIf Miles.
These $500 cars parked that close
ly together would stretch five and
one-half miles. The parking, con-
tinued west in the north side of
Main street to Thirteenth street.
There the police made every one
park on the south side of Main
street and the string Of cars ex-
tended clear back to Twelfth avenue.
Then the police herded every one to
State street, at Eighth avenue, had
made all park, headed west, along

Helpful Hints to
Motorists

Do not race the engine when the
clutch slips. Operate the engine
slowly with slight changes in speed,
| giving the fly wheel chance to
| carry the clutch around with it.
| The most economical touring speed
is twenty to twenty five miles per
| hour.
| Spark plugs are liable to injury il
| carried in the tool box. To protect
them slip each plug into a section of
rubber hose
Sand and gravel are enemies OF
rubber. Once inside the tire they
eat hole larger rapidly. Inspect
the tires every ten days or so and
have cuts vulcanized, prolonging the
life of the tire and cutting down
operating costs.
Try heating tight nut if it can
not be budged with a wrench. Soak
it with kerosene to loosen it.
Pure rain water is the best that
can be used in the cooling system OF
a car.
If the muffler clogs, tapping it with
a stick of wood will loosen the SCOT
and allow the exhaust to blow it out.
Test the brakes and equalize them
once month.
Keep nuts on rear wheel hubs
tight. If you do not the key may
wear.
BY unscrewing spark plugs and
cleaning them every ten days or two
weeks the life of batteries may be
prolonged and will make it possible
to turn over the engine quicker.
Don't fill batteries too full with
| water. The water, with which the
acid mixes, will sIop over when
bumps are hit and soon eat away
the wood and iron of the battery box.
Try mixing f1axseed meal with the
lubricant to silence a noisy trans
mission.
cloth upholstery, beat backs wit ;
carpet heater, then remove dust witt,
a broom.
A piece of trace chain incased with
rubber hose and strong paddock
| will effectively lock car so that it
| can not be run or drawn away.
If your engine stops suddenly it
| indicates that the gasolene tank is
empty, there is water in the gaso-
lene. carburetor is flooded, carburetor
or feed pipe is INSTRUCTED with dirt,
or magnetic wire is loose.
| Lack NJ hra ko -,
ing corners destroys tires quickly.
If the motor fails to start after
generous amount of fuel has been
supplied too much gas may be the
| trouble. AS remedy open the pet
cocks and turn over the engine
briskly with the compression cocks
open.
Drain the crank case at least every
| four weeks. 1t frequently will be
| found that theoil has been diluted
with gas which has worked past the
| piston and into the oil.
A satisfactory foot rest or accel-
orator extension may be made from
an ordinary trap hinge
! In cases. where tire failure makes
/! 1t necessary to travel on the rim. do
| not remove the rim. A damaged
rim is cheaper to replace than an
! injured felloe.
To get out of mud hole. put the
car in low. and if the gas can not
be fed evenly by foot. put the emer-
gency brake on.
See that filling caps and the over
flow in the radiator do not become
choked, causing leaks brought about
by steam pressure.

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: "How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has Become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
noted as leader in every
line it entered since 1845-has once
more proved that its policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply matter
OF knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
slkimping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.

tire makers includes a brilliant staff

SEASONS HAVE NOT CHANGED
Records Show That Weather and Gil

They Were Long Ago.

"Weather and climate have not

closing words of an article by Prol.
Robert de c. Ward of Harvard uni

That this is so is proved by com
parison of present-day conditions with
those so accurately recorded by the
early settlers of New England. There
are accounts of great cold; of deep
SHOWS; of violent winter storms.
There are also many descriptions OF
very mild and open winters. Thus.

sembling May and June; of flowers
growing in the woods in midwinter
