Some Care Is Called For
In Electrical Equipment
Generator Has Few Special
Ills, Wiring Also Should
Be Inspected

although every effort has been
made by manufacturers of electric
starting and lighting systems to make
sure that the various units function
as nearly automatically as possible,
some attention on the part of the car
owner is necessary" says William H.
Stewart jr., president of the Stewart
Automobile School. "The generator
must be examined frequently, and
should any carbon dust be worn from
the brushes by the commutator and
deposited in the lower part of the
casing it should be blown out with the
tire pump. Otherwise accumulation of
this dust may cause short circuit be-
tween the brush carrier and the gen.
orator case.
"The brushes are part of the gem
orator which demand care, and usually,
when trouble develops, it starts with
them. They should be examined to
sec that they are in perfect contact
with the. commutator. and that they
do not stick in the brush holders. One
OF the most usual causes of imperfect
contact between the brush and the
commutator is insufficient spring ten
sion. The commutator must be kent
clean, as any dust or grease on the
segments will collect carbon dust and
produce short circuits.
Watch Starting Motor
"The starting motor is also subject
to electrical ills, among which are i'm
proper contact with some metal part of
the generator or car, short circuits,
brush and commutator troubles. All

Amperagc and Voltage Both
Under Scrutiny at Instance
of Ray Company

Automobile storage batteries are un-
der the scalpel tomorrow and Tues
day of this week at the Electrical In
stitute Their amperage is under ex-
acting scrutiny. their voltage is get
ting some technical analysis. All this
is being done at the instance Of the
Ray Battery Company, of Ypsilanti,
Mich. This company has made heavy
sales in dull year by emphasizing
always the ability o. it's battery, and
it has backed its claims with an un-
conditional two-year guarantee. 1t
has proved these claims all over the
country in tests such as the present
ones. And it has engaged the Electri-
cal Institute with it's eminent engi-
neers and superb equipment as fit
ting climax to this long series of sue
cessful trials.
Automotive engineers are following
these tests because of the challenge
sent out by the Ray company to all
battery makers to set their product
beside the Ray for test. There are no
restrictions upon the contest And it
is expected that the tests will amass
a large fund of technical information
as we'll as definitely indicate the rela-
tive merits of batteries now on the
market,

About 1000 Miles i'm This
Interesting Tour, Which
Combines Historical
With S mic Interest

Through the Hudson and Mohawk
valleys, returning by way of the Fin

make a round trip to Niagara Falls
which is of exceptional interest and
scenic variety. The total distance will
figure slightly under 1000 miles, and

that q full week be allowed for the
circuit, remaining at least day at

starting the road trip on the following
morning.
From Schenectady to Utica the pic
turesque and historic Mohawk VALLEY
is traversed; and then, tusning
somewhat southwest, the route covers
Auburn. After skirting the northern
edges of the Finger Lakes it crosses
the famous Genesee Valley, passes
through Batavia and comes to the
eastern edge OF Buffalo, where CON
nection is made with the Niagara Falls
boulevard, leading direct through the
Tonawandas to the City of the Great
Cataract" Or one may continue all

The Niagara Frontier is the strip
of interesting country along opposite
sides of the Niagara River between
Lakes Erie and Ontario. 1t was an
important battle-ground in both the
French and Indian War and the War
of 1912; but for more than hundred
years has been a part of the long
boundary between the United States
and the Dominion OF Canada. All the
landmarks, dating back to the War of
1912 are further down the river, be-
tween Lewiston and Lake Ontario,
short additional run from Niagara
Falls
Returning from the Falls city,
either through Buffalo, or over the
boulevard, thence retracing the going
through Batavia to Canandaigua, a diff
ferent return is accomplished by
turning southeast through Penn Yam
to Watkins, where at least short
stop should be made at the state
reservation, which includes Watkins
Glea. Continuing nearly south to
Elnsira, connection is made with the
Liberty Highway, or Southern Tier
route, leading past the Newton battle

stances arc apt to accumulate the reg

"Tf the wires are removed from the
generator for any reason care must be
taken to insure that they are put back
to the same terminals with which they
were originally connected. In fact, when
ever any wires are disconnected from
any of the units Of the system the
wires and the terminals should be
marked so that they can be correctly
placed. If the wires are reversed the
ammeter will indicate dead short cir
cult by swinging to the extreme Of the
discharge side of the scale when the
engine is started, and if this defective
condition is not corrected the battery
will soon be discharged.
Special care should be taken with
the connections in the lamps and at
other points. A short circuit occurs
when two wires of opposite polarity are
in metallic contact"

Automobile Makers
Want New Basis
For Insurance
Believe Underwriters Should
Recognize Moral Hazard
and Discard Laboratories
as Supcrfluous and Costly

Lower insurance rates on better
basis arc sought by the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce IN sever
ing relations with the Underwriters
Laboratories, which would group cars
according to mechanical construction.
Over valuation and ignoring tho char
aoter of the policyholder are the two
weakest points in tho insurance meth
DDS to-day, in the opinion of the auto
mobile makers.
Most new cars carrying insurance
are valued at more than their market
price if the owner had to sell them.
Consequently the temptation to destroy
the car is strong for the INSCRIPTIONS.
Many instances are on record of cars
being driven into river in order that
theft Insurance might be collected.
The same danger applies for fire in
surance. Though faced with this stu
alton, no recognition is made of the
moral hazard. No inquiry is made con-
corning mans character before writ
ing his policy, so that the dangers Of
valuation are not stopped at this point.
More important than the crime ele-
ment is the carelessness which over
valuation encourages in the average
riotorist. If his automobile is over
valued, theft or accident may prove a
blessing. The activities of the Under
writer's Laboratories are regarded as
too detailed The inspections result
in classifcations which are illogical.
Parts makers which do not submit to
the Underwriters Laboratories tests
do not get rated, and a car may &C
cordingly be unfairly listed because
not all of its parts are supervised.
Few OF the accidents to-day are due
to faulty construction. The automo-
bile makers feel that little is gained
by the Underwriters Laboratories tests,
as the cause of the high rates lies in
factors not related to mechanical pro-
duction. Insurance companies are
working on these suggestions, and a
reimbursement in policies and rates Is

Hudson and Essex sales are show

Mccormack, general sales manager of
the Hudson Motor Car Company, of
Detroit. "There is every indication
that our summer sales will beat our
record OF last year. This activity
naturally is gratifying to US, and also
establishes three outstanding facts.
First, that our organization has re-
tanned it's full enthusiasm and morale
and is working confidently and hard,
taking advantage of every oppor-

Parsnips are one of the cheapest and best of the winter vegetables. In themselves parsnips are a starchy food, but combined with egg and fried in deep fat, their food value is increased.
 As parsnips are a light colored vegetable, they should be ses-Sed with a dark meat.
 If plain boiled parsnips are taboo in your family. try dressing them up in one of the following ways:
 Parsnip Balls
 Six parsnips, tablespoons butter. F teaspoon salt, r. teaspoon pepper. T. cup flour, 1 egg.
 Wash and scrape parsnips. Boil in salted water till tender. Drain and mash. Season with butter, salt and pepper. Add flour and egg well beat en. Form into small balls. Roll in cracker crumbs, dip in egg slightly beaten with one tablespoon water. roll again in crumbs and fry | in deep, hot fat. Drain on browr | paper and serve.
 Parsnip Cake Boil and mash parsnips as in pre- ceding recipe. Add butter and finely rolled cracker crumbs. Form in lit | tie flat cakes and fry in litt'e but ter and bacon fat in a frying ran til | a delicate brown. If dried bread ! crumbs are used, add one teaspoon sugar to parsnips when seasoning.

thing about it. Farmer Browns boy, coming every morning for corn for the hens, noticed these grains, but supposed they were some that had been rubbed from the ears during the handling of them. Then one morning Chatterer dropped a cob from which he had eaten all the corn. He meant to get it and hide it as he had hidden other cobs, but he didn't want to do it just then And then well, then he forgot all about it. Yes, sir, he forgot all about it until he had reached his home in the Old Or chard.
 "Oh. well.' thought Chatterer, 'it doesn't matter. I can get it and hide it tomorrow morning
 Now a corn-cob is a very simple thing. Farmer Browns boy knew where there was a whole pile of them. He added to that pile every day after shelling enough corn for the biddies So it would seem that there was nothing about a corn-corb to make him open his eyes as he did that morning when he saw the one left by Chatterer the Red Squirrel. But you see, he knew that bare corn cob had no business inside the corn crib, and suddenly those scattered grains ef corn had new meaning Or him.

 One wonders what has become of the old fashioned moral teaching which formerly was part of girls home education. One wonders how some girls manage to grow up escap- ing the homegrown variety of ethics.
 This girl excuses to herself the de- sire to meet the man downtown on the ground that she "has no com pany like other girls" But when did female become a sane excuse for snitching a husband from his wife and a father from his children?
 Perhaps if this girl would read her own letter as if 1t had been written by another. she would not continue to be in doubt as to her future con duct.

John Aldrich leaned back in his chair and considered his wife imper sonally. She had just told him she wished to go to Atlantic City for a week or two until the new car should be ready.
 Cant you arrange to go with me?'
 "Emphatically no. I hate to re- fuse you an outing, Marcia, but can scarcely consider Atlantic City after just buying the car. I will try to make it possible for you to go to some quiet, inexpensive place
 "No. indeed, John. Several of the club are going down so they can be there together and have a good time.'
 Well you will have to stay back in the town, not on the boardwalk. Those hotels are very expensive"
 "Oh, I shall have to go where the the arrangements. But I hate leav- ing you"
 'I'Il get on."
 That Marcia went goes without saying. Also that she went to one of the smartest hotels. John was sur prised at the sense of relief that came over him when she had gone. The
 days just passed had been trying When John had baked at the hotel
