SECRET LOCK
FOILS THIEVES

A good device for pushing the
thief was made as fol-
lows:
Remove the regular terminal
from the end Of the ignition wire
and an extra one was procured. One
of these was clamped around Q
piece Of brsss tubing and the other
around a similar piece OF tubing OF
hard rubber. The inside OF each
tube was threaded with a small
tap. The end OF the wire was
placed inside a yet smaller piece
of brass tubing and a little solder
was poured in to make a good con-
nection. This piece Of brass tub
ing was very slightly larger than
the holes in the hard rubber and
brass tubes inside the two term
inals and was threaded on the out
side SO as to sersw into the holes
in the two terminals. in ordinary
use the terminal with the brass
lining is screwed on to the end Of
the wire and used in the regular
manner. When the car Is to be
locked. however. the hood Is raised,
the brass lined terminal Is removed
and the rubber lined one 10 screwed
into it's place The hard rubber Is
an insulater and the ignition sys-
tenn will not function. and friend
thief will puzzle for long. long
time before he dopes out what Is

CANADA SECOND ONLY
TOU. S. IN USE OF AUTOS

The most remarkable fact re-
vealed by the latest registration re
turns iE Canada is that the Do
rninien ranks second only to the
United States as q nation of auto
mobile users.
1t has been calculated that in the
United States there is one automo-
bile in use for every twenty per-
soils. In Canada today statistics
show the proportion to be one in
twenty-three.
Whereas automobiles were rare in
Canada only a few years ago today
there are nearly $4,000 passenger
and commercial cars in operation.
And whereas these figures were
COMPLIED on the basis of the popula-
ton as a whole it is even more in
teresting to note that more than
nalf the registration is in the rural
districts. while the percentage in
the prairie provinces is even higher.
This proves that in the less thick
ly inhabited sections where trans
portation is most vital the value of
the automobile is best appreciated.

Tests Given New

Tests Of all kinds of safety ds-

made by the underwriters labera-

Council. Besides saving some lo.eoe
lives annually, the automobile in

of safety devices would save mill

Involved in the tests are lam,-
mated glass for windshield cleaning
appliances, the construction or
steering gears and the complex sub
ject Of hsadlamp DINNERS and diff
fusers. At the same time. the Ma
tional Safety Council. through it's
local branches, is making . study
of all traffic accidents. The appli-

accepted by insurance companies,

CLEAN AUTO BODY
WITH CASTLE SOAP

The body of the car should be
cleaned with CASTLE soap and water.
Mud should not be rubbed off. but
rather should be washed off. by
flowing a gentle stream OF water
over the spot. This floats the mud
of without injury to the polished
surface. If mud is permitted to re-
main on a new body until il dries
hard it almost always leaves a
spot; consequently removal should
be immediate. If spots of road oil
get on the body they should be re-
moved by an application of salt
butter. which loosens the oil. or by
a local application of kerosene. Be
careful not to rub them too much.
The top should not be cleaned with
gasolene or similar liquids. Soap
suds and water should be used in
side and out. For the upholstery
little linseed oil on a piece Of
cloth rubbed over il will work won
ders.

.UELSHORTAGE.
MODERN MYTH

Fuel shortage has been a familiar
cry for the past ten years, gencrallx
preceding a rise in price; yet thers
Is always an ample supply.
The time will never come when
power vehicles will cease to run be-
cause OF the absence of fuel" Is.
the belief of John c. Moore, chief
engineer of the Lexington Motor
ompany. In the first place,
there is ample fuel despite reports
to the contrary; in the second place,
there Is an abundance stored In the
shalc OF the mountains Of the
West; and in the third pace, the
day is not far cff when alcohol will
lie made at q price that viii per-
nit its general uEe-its very sue
ccssful use even with the motors
of today.
mo less an authority than L
b. Colby. editor c. Petroleum Age,
shows that shale contains hundreds
Of billions of ssllcns of gasoline,
and he also shows that sorae Of
the Pennsylvania oil wells that have
been producing for fifty years ara
still giving forth fuel
Last fall there was more gaso-
line on hand than &. year previous,
and there are still vGst fields that
have not been scratched.
Some of these days" Mr.. Moore
continued, some man will come
along with something from which
to make a cneap fuel. Just as it is
reported that a Brooklyn chemist
has produced a means OF making
alcohol cheaply and grade that
will permit its use in present-day
internal combustion engines without
even a charge in the adjustment
of car5ureters."

Water in Crank Case Oil
Causes Much Trouble

Few motorists realize that com
paratively large quantity Of water
gradually accumulates in the crank
case, mixing with the oil and form
ing an emulsion, which has i'm
paired lubricating qualities This
accumulation of water is more pro-
nounced in winter than in summer
and is found to a greater extent as
the number of cylinders increases
This brings out the importance of
changing the oil every l.e0o miles,
and for the best lubricating results
every 500 miles, in which case the
old oil may be run through a
chamois skin to remove the water,
after which il may be used again.

BLAME FREIGHT RATES

Charges Will Reduce
Construction.

An increase of s1.eee per mile in
the cost Of road building is predict
ed by members of the advisory coun-
Gil of Sand and Gravel Producers.
who have just concluded the hold
ing of q convention here. as the re-
suit of proposed increases in freight
rates on sand and gravel.
During their stay in this city
these producers appeared before the
Interstate Commerce Commission te
protest against the advances asked
fer by the railroads. Ninety per
cent of the sand and gravel trans
ported over the roads is produced
within seventy-fve miles of the
point where il is to be used. On
this basis. today's freight rates are
approximately double those in effect
In 1916. A 25-cent increase in the
transportation charge on q ton of
gravel, road experts show, means
$1,000 per mile added to the cost of
building IL.
Blame Freight Rates
Today it costs $1,000 a mile more
:, than il did in 1916 to build a road.
This increase is due to the increase
in freight rates made during the
war. Another advance at this time,
they say. will materially reduce the
contemplated construction of roads,
result inimical to public welfare.
There is no need for a further ad-
vance in the sand and gravel rates
and much of the loss in revenue sur
fered by the roads can be regsined
by increasing those rates now
preferentially low.

are such that the States are unable
to do their share in face Of such

further reason or explanation has
been given so far as known in this

natural that he would have had the
facts put before he people during
