A MILLION NEW CARS

Considerably more than million
new automobiles were licensed in
the United States last year. No won
der we see shoals of new cars on the
streets every day.
The serious problem with the oper-
alton of automobiles, is chance TAX
ing at railroad grade crossings. In
spite of the frightful mishaps re-
ported each day, there is only a
slight checking of the evil. The only
known remedy is to everlastingly
keep on urging drivers to observe
the following precautions:
When you drive near railroad
tracks that are tobe crossed, Think
Of Trains of Cars. Right there, on
the tracks, is the only place you will
find any.
With such thoughts in your mind,
you will be prepared for any emer-
gency. Most times, there will be no
train near enough to hinder you, but
OO4N l1uSI W AOCh. LOOk anu
LISTEN every time.
If-you trust to luck, you are not
giving yourself and your passengers
a fair deal. A professional gambler
will bet almost anything, but he nev-
er wagers his Life. He might lose a
lot Of money once and then recoup
his losses in another venture. But
every one of us know that when he
loses his life he isseoing to stay dead.
That man who was killed at a
crossing yesteday, had no desire to
die. There was no end of things to
make life worth while. The man
simply followed in the steps of thou
sands who made the mistake of yield
ing to quick impulse of trying to
beat train over a crossing.
Sober second thought would have
saved him; so we close this little ap-
~peal with solemn warning that now
Is the time to call halt and CROSS
CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY.

movably to the top Of the spindle f.
The electrical connections are made at
B, B, and as soon US a current passes
through the platinum wire, A, the
wire becomes heated and expands, thus
allowing the thread to slacken. The
slack is instantly taken up by the
spring f, thus revolving the spindle
and swinging the needle to one side.

Ammeters are instruments designed
to measure the flow of electricity
through the wires and are often very
essential parts Of radio outfit. They
consist, as far as exterior appearances
60, of dial marked with figures and
a hand or needle. Although they are
not high priced and it Is not advisable
to try to make them, still there is
nothing mysterious or complicated
about them and the amateur, who likes
to experiment with homemade instru-
ments, can readily construct an am
meter which will work and is fairly
reliable. This instrument is known
as "hot-wire ammeter" Gig. 29),
The Hope pioneer., 1922-08-17

The greater the current
the more the pointer
swings and so, by ar
ranging a dial with
marks under the needle
and testing the device
with currents Of known
force, a fairly accurate
instrument can be
made. Needless to say,
the parts must be small
and neatly and accurate
ly made and the spring
must be adjusted to
merely hold the thread
tightly without pulling
or bending the wire
appreciably. Also, the
length Of the wire is a
great factor for the
longer the wire the
greater will be the
amount it expands, and
consequently, the great

needle; but, on the
other hand, 1t will be
more difficult to adjust
a long wire to remain
tight than a shorter
one and the only
way to determine the
proportion of the
various parts is to ex.
