Dodge Brothers chassis a special body
in the form of a giant gpaf1ex camera.

feet from the, ground. and giving him

which may be taking place. The
body is also used as dark room in
which negatives may be developed
and rfished, guaranteeing speedy
service. which would otherwise be
impossible.

Wiring Properly Functioning.
BY ALEXANDER JOHNSTON.

BY ALEXANDER JOHNSTON.
Good wiring is something that IL
not always found on American cars.
Our quantity production ideals some
times lead TO carelessness IN this
important matter, in some cases It
would be better II the car owner
replaced the wiring furnished by the
maker with q complete new set of
fhe best grade insulated cable that he
could get.
In cases where the wiring is of
poor quality, the insulation Is likely
TO fall off In places and to break
IN fine cracks that permit current

replacement Of the offending wire Is
safest.
II the electrical system Is to func-
ton properly all the time the wire
must be kept protected and the ter
Ininals must be clean and secure. A
loose terminal does not pass on tire
full flow of current. A loose ignition
wire may upset the operatioe Of the
engine. and q badly corroded terminal
can stop the engine ana put the lights

It is an excellent idea for the buyer
Of new car to go over the wiring
system as soon as he gets the vehicle.

Newspapers and Mud Holes.

II IL not an unusual thing to be-
come stuck in q mud hole, especially
at this time of the year. Carry few
old newspapers in one Of the pockets
or under the seats. They afford good
traction for the wheels and will assist
greatly when pulling out Of the mud.
Never speed up the engine and
Jump" the clutch. This will only
cause the wheels to spin and dig
deeper into the mud. H..

when Cranlting the Engine.

To snap the crank handle up with
the left hand Is the safest way TO
crank the engine. Never start the
spin on the down stroke. n It ID
necessary to spin the engine, keep
the thumb alongside of the forefinger
ana not wrapped around the handle.
The position forms a hook and aids

causes d broken hand or arm.

A Way TO Start n Car.

To start the engine Of q car after
the self.starter has gone wrong and
the crank handle Is not available. jack
up the rear wheels, block the front
wheels, and then shift into high. Set
inders and by turning the rear wheels,
the engine will become active. Do not
take hold OF the spokes when turning
the wheel around; use the tire, be.

hands caught when the wheels start
to revolve. ...... =

Our present task is to enlarge our
dormitory facilities so as to be able
to take care of more OF the high
school pupils of the county, ana to
replace the temporary rooms oc-

permanent and more comfortable
quarters. To this end we shall
