simple oil gauge of type having
cork flot with extended wire and
while ball at the top which rises
take piece Of copper or brass n
inch wide by 5h inches long and in 1t
drill five holes, one directly in the
center. one v inch from each end.
and two more spaced n inch each
way from the center hole.
II the electrical system is grounded.
place a little hard rubber bushing in
one of the two holes last mentioned,
and use with 1t small bolt and nut
such as any electrical store will have.
first placing fibre washers under the
head and nut so that the bolt does
not touch metal. From this bolt run
a wire to a light which can be mount
cd on tho dash. and extend another
wire from the light to any lighting
switch. The corresponding hole in
tho brass strip is provided with an
uninsulated bolt and nut.
Next break off the little white ball
and insert the wire OF tho gauge thru
the center hole in the copper strip,
then affixing in place OF the ball-a
disc of aluminium about the size of a
quarter. Bend the strip and attach.
Tho gauge which the writer has in
mind is designed for mounting on ono
side of the crankcase, in place of the
pct cock. which is normally used for
draining the oil.
Now when the oil In the crankcasc
IS OF sufficient quantity the aluminium
contact disc is ra ised by the cork
float and the electrical circuit is kept
open. when. however, the oil has
fallen to the dangerous level, the disc
touches the two bolts, closes tho cir
cult, and lights the bulb on the dash.

evidently saw nothing in developments
to alter their attiture of pes

OF suspended dividends were made DO
mcstic money rates remained firm and
the foreign exchange market again
denoted the confusion resulting partly
from Germany's initial payment of
reparations.
News from tho principal centers Of in
dustry indicate Increased depression in
the steel and iron trade and advices
dealing with tho motor Industry and
kindred lines OF manufacture were of
an equally unfavorablct tenor.
About tho only encourasing feature
was publication of railroad returns for
April, some OF which disclosed pro-
nounced gains in net earnings.
Leaders of the motor. oil, steel.
equipment, copper, sugar, rubber and
chemical stocks registered gross rcac-
tions of 1 to nearly 4 points.
Some % the less prominent issues
of miscellaneous types were lower by
two to seven points. general heaviness

dend payments in prospects. banks
were less liberal with offerings of call
money. Most loans OF that nature wc"e
made at Z per cent but the rate again
rose to IN per cent in the last few min
