Several thousand citizens of Dor
cuGh near Scranton. Pa, assembled
and marched to the railroad freight
yards and confscatcd six cars Of
coal. They complain that their needs
have been ignored by the fuel dis
tibutors, that their schools and
homes are without heat. The citi-
zcns shovclcd the coal into trucks
While the police guarded them from
the railroad authorities. If their
complaint be well founded it is easy
to understand why they did this. We
wonder if their sympathies were with
the coal strikers.

Motor OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES like
to know how to locate the trouble
when lights go out with battery in
good condition. Sometimes all
lights go out and then sometimes
only one or two. Have had this
happen to me a number OF times, but
always had TO take car to garage. A
little information on lighting will be
a benefit. How is a fuse tested for
being burnt out? G. S.
Test a suspected fuse by turning
on lights and removing one OF the
fuses which carries current. Place
fuse to be tested in its place. If
lamps light the fuse is good. When
all lights go out look for loose con-
tact or broken wire between battery
and frame, or battery and switch
box. II one or two lights go out in
spect wires leading to those lights.
Get all the information you can
about your system from the manu-
facturer and read up on other sys-
TENS. using some one of the leading
books on the subject Of lighting,
starting and ignition.
