WAYS SUGGESTEDFO FOR
D|MMING CAR LIGHTS
Use of Salts or Ground Glass Sub
stitute Favored.
Glare May Be Effectively Diminished
by Placing in Center Of Lens, I'm.
mediateIy in Front Of Bulb,
Spot Of Mixture.

The rigid Interpretation Of local anti
glare headlight regulations in some
localities has created a desire among
motorists for some easy means for
rendering the lights less bright with
out going to the bother and expense
of substituting new lamp bulbs for
those they are using. !
One way outtof the difficulty, says
American Motorist, is the frosting of
the lens or glass of the lamp. Buy 10
cents worth of epson salt, dissolve
it In about five ounces of water and
flow the liquid over the glass on the
inside. When dry the glass will be
coated with frosting similar to ground
glass; -
A more permanent job can be made
by using so-called ground glass sub:
stitute," obtainable at Photographic
supply houses. Ground glass substi-
tute should flow over the inside of
the headlight glass by fitting the
liquid evenly. One treatment with
ground glass substitute will last for
an entire season.
Instead Of coating the entire head
light lens with ground glass substi-
tute the glare of the light may be very
effectively diminished by placing in
the center Of the lens, Immediately in
front Of the light bulb, a round spot
of ground-glass mixture, thus:
Cut a paper mask with a round
opening in it about two inches in d.
araeter. When the paste is we'll dried
flow ground-glass substitute over the
circular spot not covered by paper
and let it dry for about twenty min
utes. Now soak the lens in cold wa
ter until the paper mask comes Off,
and nothing remains on the glass but
the round spot Of ground-glass sub
stitute. There will be plenty of light
left, but the direct glare will have
been eliminated.

3. Mud should never be allowed to

Wash off all mud as soon as possible
4. Use lots Of water to clean your
car. A sponge, thoroughly saturated,
is much better than hose. Always
have sponge full of clean, fresh wa.
ter and use no pressure when apply
ing.
5. Have two sponges for body,
hood, ETC., the other for the running
gear. Keep sponge for body away
from grease. .... .-,1
6. In washing running gear use Z
soap solution made by dissolving in
a pail of water sufficient soap to make
a good suds. Sop on to car with
sponge. Rinse Immediately with clear
water. G,@ = t-.>-Es
If necessary to use soap on body,
use only pure soap, such as imported
CASTLE, or the very best oil soaps
made for use on automobiles. There
must be no free alkali or acids in the !
soap, as these will eat the surface OF
the varnish. -. .seE

AUTO BRAKE IS
Often M|SUSED
Should Be Frequently Inspected
to Insure Proper Protection
to Machine.
QUICK STOPS ARE HARMFUL
Effect on Car Is Not Such as to In
crease Its ServieeabiIlty-Many
Accidents Could Be Avoided
by Overhaulin0.

/ An automobile is entitled to the
same protection as home. If lone
or the other is in danger of being
destroyed or damaged immediate steps
should be taken to prevent the pos
sible loss.
AS regards the automobile the
greatest measure Of protection is in
good brakes. They should be regu-
Larry examined and adjusted. The
brake Innings are woven asbestos and
copper wire and while nonburnable
they will wear in correspondence with
their judicious use or abuse. The
brakes must be so adjusted that the
Innings bear evenly and with the same
pressure on the brake drums.
: Unfortunately the average driver
does not use his brakes with any de-
gree Of discretion. He knows that
they will stop the car and as a con-
sequence keeps moving at his accus-
toned rate of speed until almost
abreast of the point where he wishes
to bring the machine to stop. Then
the brakes are suddenly applied and
the car abruptly stopped. The aver
age motor car weighs in the neighbour
hood Of 5000 pounds or more and to
bring this much weight to a sudden
stop when travelling ten miles an hour
or better requires the exertion Of some
pressure. 1t not only tends to wear
the break out faster than necessary,
but the effect on the car as whole
is not such as to increase its service
ability.
Many Of the accidents that occur
today could be avoided if the owner
would but take few minutes time
every week Or ten days to himself
examine, or have it done for him, the
braking system of his car. Perhaps
the last time that it became neces-
sary to apply the brakes suddenly
they functfoned properly but when
needed again in an emergency were
found inefficient. Collisions many
times occur because the brakes fail
to work.
One way to insist upon good brakes
is for the police department when
investigating an accident to examine
the brakes Of the car or cars con-
cerned and if they are found to be
inefficient make this prima facie evil
dence of the guilt of the driver of
the car. Motormen on the street cars,
though they use the air brake the
greater portion Of the time, are re-
quired at fire stops to use the hand
brake. This is not because the hand
brake is more efficient than the air,
but to insure that it is in serviceable
condition il it should become neces-
sary to use it on account Of the fail
ure OF the air. Certainly If this is
good policy on street car the same
attention should be good for the mo-
tor car, be it passenger car or truck.
When they are running about the
streets of the city with faulty means
Of bringing them to a sudden stop
in case Of necessity they are source
OF danger not only to the occupants of
the car itself. but to the other users
of the streets as well.
