URGES ALIGNMENT

Cars. when they leave the factory,

long tire mileage. but these ad-

by car owners in permitting the
right front wheel to collide more

or drawing up to the curb to park

owner Is looking over the springs
it is also a wise precaution to OBJ

loose or broken.
Loose spring clips will almost
certainly result in broken springs,
which is a sufficient reason for
careful examination of these clips
by the owner.
Loose spring clips can also af-

Oil on Magnetic.

Rubber is very quickly disinte-
grated by oil. and at the same time
II has a most unfortunate capillary
affinity for the oil. For this rea-
sen it is very important: to keep
oil away from the rubber insulators
that are used in connection with
the conductors and wires of all the
circuits of the magnetic. Although
oil is not a conductor of electricity.
Il ruins the Insulation, and the re-
suit Is the breakdown Of the insu-
lstion and short circuits.

Radium, the most valuable ele-
ment in the world. costing $780,
900 a gram, was on exhibition at
the Palace Automobile Show for
the first time in the history of the
industry. Its interest to the auto
mobile trade lies in the fact that
II is utilized in the form of I'M
dark radium luminous material on
automobile gauges, making them
visible at night without the neces-
sity of lighting matches, thus doing
away with the danger of explosion
and adding to the general safety
movement.

The employment OF radium to
help solve our industrial problems
OF safety is in the early stages of
it's development. The future pos
sibilities are enormous. and I be-
lieve that the display of radium in
connection with the automobile
show will serve to inspire indus
trial engineers to find new uses for
it.
Motorists. motorcyclists and the
operators OF any machinery which
has indicating dials or gauges
which tell of the speed Of the motor
or the quantity and mixture of
fuels and oils, are finding the solu-
ton of their difficulties in radium
luminous material. The use of
radium in Illuminating the gauges
OF automobiles is an American in
vention which has been adopted by
many progressive manufacturers.
Other uses to which undark ra-
dunn luminous material has been
put in industry with a view to elm

ing power switches where fumbling
might mean electrocution to the
operator: on steam gauges and
water gauges: on compass dials

at night and where the lighting of
matches might cause danger OF

while radium is the most valu-
able element in the world, II is 80
