the fuse.
But there was no improvement in
the light. The chap happened to
be from a State where they had
passed a law requirin' the installa-
ton of an approved tail light, so we
began to suspect that the device he
had added was not well put together
This led to an inspection of the plus
and it's connection, but we were still
ten miles from the nearest solution
and gkttin' farther away all the
time.
Just by accident I punched the
screw driver between the lamp
bracket and the license tag. And the
light came up bright and steady.
The upshot of it was that there
wasn't good contact between the
old bracket of the car and the
bracket fer the new lamp. This
meant a poor electrical contact and
unsteady light. Furthermore, the
license tag screws had loosened. so
that the contact was practically
broken. The remedy was so simple
that l asked the chap into the shop
and treated him to a home-brew

five o'clock in the evening is the
hour Of greatest danger to careless
motorists in metropolitan centers.
More than 20 per cent of the
major accidents occurring in city
streets are reported between five and
seven o'clock in the evening" says
the Lexington official.
This is contrary to what is per-
haps popular opinion. On first
thought one would probably imagine

When low visibility. binding head
lights, joy riding and other conditions
would combine to run up the total.
The contrary, however, is true. The

starts abruptly upward until il

which is particularly prevalent dur
ing the GUNNER and fall months
when motorists try to get as far

The tendency is to make each

ground, with the result that the
driver becomes weary to an extent
where he is incapable of properly
operating the car.
Many an accident toward the end
Of the day is due to the WEAKNESS
of the motorist who is trying to
drive two hundred or more miles
per day so as to economize on time
and hotel bills.
Some people should not drive over
one hundred miles a day: others
seem capable of doing three hun
dred without fatigue. But there is a
happy medium somewhere between
the two, and this should be the limit

Anent Mushroom Hotels

Motorists and hotelmen have a
new problem to face, problem
which is best explained by that
familiar roadside sign, Tourists
Accommodated" Many of the resort
hotels, particularly in the mountains,
have been puzzled to know why, with
all the increase in cars, business was
not beyond capacity everywhere this
season: and it is now becoming
evident that these mushroom hotels
are the cause. One Investigator
counted 1000 such places on $50
mile stretch of road between two
principal Eastern cities. Most of
these places are private homes,
turned into lodging houses to afford
their owners pin money" Double
rooms. including breakfast, are often
offered for $500, with no charge for
the garage. Accommodations are. of
course, varied, running from the
best to the worst.
1t is obvious that the established
hotel cannot compete at such prices,
and that the problem affects the
motorist in that if he continues to
patroniZe mushroom hotels he cannot
expect a continuation of the plan to
provide each principal town or city
with at least zone first class thor
oughly modern hosiery.
There is no quarrel against private
enterprises which aim to establish
roadside inns. That is legitimate

restricted scale. But the general
public it would seem. ought not to go
into the hotel business, and the

knows nothing about.
