WARNER PATTERSON co.
HAS FOCUSING DEVICE

Head lamps on ninety out OF every
hundred motor cars on the roads are
wasting current and making highways
unsafe because the bulbs are out OF
focus. engineers estimate.
That condition has been permitted be-
cause up to now the task OF focusing
lights has been a difficult one. The
Warner Patterson Company of Chi
cago. manufacturers OF the Patterson
lens. which Is standard equipment on
seventy makes OF cars, has now made
the task OF focusing simple through the
invention OF a cardboard focusing device
which Ia being given away free of
charge at the Warner Patterson booth
at this weeks automobile show. With
this device bulbs can be adjusted ac-
curately- and almost as easily as put
ting air I'm tires or putting gasoline In
the tank.
The device consists OF q circular
piece of cardboard. In about the mid
die of this board two small holes are
stamped. The car during the focusing
should stand on q level surface. about
nifty feet from some solid background.
The Patterson testing device should
'be placed direct against the face of the
head lamps. When the lamp bulbs are In
proper focus in relation to the reflector
the spot Of light thrown by single
head lamp should be very nearly per-
feet circle, and should be solid, with
no holes or rings OF fainter light
showing.

, his death with the hat In the ring em-
blazoned on his wings.
"Rickenbacker," the name that car
gied the that in the ring to glory In
time of war, is to be the name that
will carry it to posterity in time of
peace. A few weeks back the auton1o-
bile world hailed the advent of the
Rickenbacker Motor Company, produc-
ing car in honor of the noted ace.
Specula uest as 20 the monogram to be
Gdopted has been enthusiastic and de-
signs and offers came from all parts
Of the United states and Europe.
A famous French sculptor and ad-
nlirer of Eddie Rickenbacker cabled his
congratulations and offered TO design
an emblem for the new motor car as a
tribute from the artists of Paris to the
American ace.
Former comrades OF R.ckonbacxer
still In the service sent O special courier
TO Detroit carrying q small monogram
for tho now car that had been carved
from the propeller of "Ricls's" first fight
ing ship on tho western front.
But sentiment and patriotism and de-
votion TO his comrade who paid the
supreme price controlled Rick's judg-
ment. and the choice Of tho hat In
the ring" prevailed. B. r. Everitt, WAL
ter Il. Flanders and his other associates
have announced the official adoption of
the emblem.

smoothly and which causes a jerlSy
start, gears which grind In shifting and
brake bands which squeak when pres
sure is applied. These three things are
nerve racking and are quite unnecces-
sary. considering the engineering knowl-
edge available to-day.
Another point about which the modern
owner is particular and to which the
manufacturers must cater is the selec-
ton OF tires for the car. Owners are de-
velcping n decided taste for certain
styles. Some prefer a tire which is one
tone of gray; others want gray with O
black tread. OF course every one speci-
fies one make or other of cord tire ana
a two tone tire frequently adds to the
appearance of the car. Another thing
reople are fussy about is the matter OF
lamps. For 1922 we will see some much
prctticr designs In head lamps.
Several seasons ago the.so-called "onc
man top" was perfected to a degree
where It required one person instead OF
three TO put 1t up or down; and side
curtains became less like Chinese puz-
zes and capable OF being adjusted
quickly in case OF sudden storm, which
also added TO the comfort of motoring.
Then, too, comfort TO the eye must
not be forgotten. For 1922 lines which
hre smooth and pleasant and with sim
pliclty as to keynote are finding the
biggest favor among those who appreci-
ate the artistic.

STUTZ HAS LEFT
OR RIGHT DRIVE
Operator May Pick His Own
Seat in the New Sturdy
Models.

There are five cars in the attractive
Stutz display at the automobile show,
and It is a mighty array OF colors that
sparkles in the light OF Grand Central
Palace.
For the first time In history the Stutz
company is showing cars with left hand
drives. The driving arrangement with
the Stutz Is now optional--one may
have either the heretofore standard
right hand drive or the left, as suits his
fancy. The left hand drive is shown to
great advantage in the new Enclosed Of
ferings OF custom built sedan and coupe.
Tho white coupe in the Stutz exhibit
is causing comment. and 1t is truly an
unusual color scheme. 1t has all the
earmarks OF tho popular Stutz open
models, even though 1t must be included
in the new and original inclosed car
class. The lines of the coupe are low
and racy In appearance and there is q
tire carrying deck in the rear that is
distinctively q Stutz arrangement.
With the maroon seven passenger
sedan, shown for the first time, the
Stutz people have shown their ability to
carry out unusual attractfveness In the
closed models. The custom built body
lines blend perfectly with the sturdy
Stutz chassis.
There Is also a sporty four passenger
touring model OF bright yellow hue
that commands its share of admiration.
This model Is shown with the conven-
tional Stutz right hand drive, and Is un-
doubtedly ono OF the fiashiest cars at
the show.
One familiar Stutz model that has
always been great favorite with show
goers as we'll as all motorists Is not dis

LITTLE BROWN DOG

Little brown dog rests there on his
rug,
AT the foot of a little white bed
He watches and listens, at every
light sound
He lifts up his little brown head
Why doesn't he come? walls little

To hear his light step and his whistle
and call,
And his laugh and his gay little
song.

And beautiful flowers round him
lay;
l wondered and wondered, it all
seemed so strange.
I've not seen him once since that
day.
But I'm watching his jacket and lit

There is his satchel and there is his
desk,
And there is his little day book.
Mother comes in and smoothes me
and signs
And goes right there TO the place,
And kisses his jacket and kisses his
cap,
And l see the wet tears on her
face.
Why does she sorrow and why does
she weep,
