1t was pointed out to Inspector
Headley that a large number of
trucks operated in the District are
not equipped with these rear view
mirrors. and on account of the
noise attending the operation OF
said truck. it is practically impos

this Is one of the most fruitful
causes Of collision accidents.

No automobile driver questions
the necessity Of some device to
keep the shield clear during a rain
or snowstorm. The dealer has q
particularly good field here because
so many cars now in use are not
equipped with any cleaning device.
There are four different divisions
to this field Of equipment as fol-
lows: Glass dressings which are
rubbed over the glass and in this
way coat 1t with an oily substance;
windshield cloths which are satur-
ated with a dressing; hand-operated
cleaners working on the squeeze
principle: automatic cleaners of the
vacuum controlled and electric
types.
This year a great number of car
manufacturers are eQuipping their
cars with Windshield cleaners and
in every case hand.operated
type Ia supplied, because of its low

the dealer has big opportunity to
sell the car owner a superior prod

needs the cleaner having used one,
but not Of the right sort.
Every. customer that goes into
a store during a rain or snow
storm is q prospect for an auto
matte cleaner and incidentally an
immediate sale can be made also
for q dressing or a hand-operated
cleaner that is low in cost. The
owner cannot quickly install the au-
tomato. so the dressing, cloth, or
hand-cleaner can be sold for i'm

100000 AUTOS
IN EIGHT YEARS

In a survey Of the most con-
spicuous successes in the motor
car industry there is one outstand-
ing fact-the leaders in every price
classification are those who have
consistently, through a long period
of years developed one type OF
car. They have made changes
without number, but they were MI
logical alterations of a basic de-
sign.
One Of the most striking examples
Of this truisrn is the Dodge Brothers
car. The completion of $780, 900 OF
these cars, almost a month In ad-
vance Of the eighth anniversary OF
Dodge Brothers as automobile manu-
facturers, records remarkable COM
mercial achievement. The first
Dodge Brothers motor car was de-
livered to its owner on December 4,
1914.
In all that time Dodge Brothers
have not departed from the funda-
mental design Of the first car that
was shipped to New York late in the
winter of that memorable first year.
No Dodge Brothers car has ever
been built with a year or model
number. Changes have been made
from time to time, hundreds Of them,
but the improvements and refine
ments have taken place so grad.
ually that only direct comparison,
point by point, reveals them. Only
recently several important new feat
ures have been Incorporated In the
car.
Under this system Dodge Brothers
mammoth plant in Detroit has grown
steadily and is still growing. for
one great expansion had hardly been
completed when another was start
ed. The completion OF the latest
huge eight story building, devoted
largely to the production of new
steel closed cars. gives the plant a
total Of 100 acres OF floor space-over
900 900 SQUARE feet

ton charge. The dealer who can
install these Immediately after the
sale is made is going to increase
his business to q large extent this
fall and winter.
The hand-operated type have
either single or double wiper arms.
The single types may be had in
cheap goods retailing as low as so
cents an das high as $3.50 for q
worthwhile product. Some designs
work at a radius and others hori-
zontally across the windshield. One
design, instead of using rubber on
the wiper, uses treated felt, so that
a coating of an oily substance ID
rubbed over the glass at the same
time the wiper is used.
There are about twenty-five max.
ers Of glass dressings, ten makers
offer cloths. three manufacture cleo
trio wipers, there are ten vacuum
operated cleaners and about thirty
hand-cohtrolled types.

Cold-weather Protection.

A car that is to be operated
the winter should have
II non-freezing solution in the radia-
tor. Some sort of cover should be
nrovided for the radiator. so that the
engine can be maintained at the
proper temperature. The working
parts require lighter-bodied oil. In
Hpect the storage battery frequently.
skid chains are essential for driving
on icy roads, and the brakes should

Improper Function of Cylinders,

When the cylinders Of a car do
not fire properly. gasoline is wasted,
and the dead cylinder is gradually
filled with oil, which will carbonize
when 1t again becomes active. Give
the engine a little more gas while
idling, and open the petcocks to
look for flame. If no flame spurts

Never attach them to a spoke.
Never fasten chains SO tight that
they cannot creep.
Do not repair broken link with

Drape the chain over the tire with

car.
The chains should be placed SO

GIANTS WIDEN GAP AS
YANKEES MARK TIME

While the Yankees postponed for
another day clinching the pennant,
the Giants widened the gap between
them and the Reds and Pirates.
The Yankees can nail the PEN
nant to the pole today. if they trim
the Indians, needing but a lone
victory to accomplish the task.
The Giants are now four and a.
half games in front of the Reds and
five and a half games ahead of the
Pirates.
In order to beat out the Giants
the Reds must win twelve of their
remaining thirteen contests and the
Pirates fourteen of their fifteen
games, provided the Giants win only
six of their twelve remaining games.
In this event the Reds and Pirates
would be tied for the pennant with
ninety-five victories and fifty-nine
defeats.
