LARGEST IN WORLD
 IN ITS OWN FIELD
Corbln Cabinet Lock Co. Supreme
 In Quality and Quantity

The manufacture Of locks is one Of
 the oldest industries in the United
 States. When the fires were It in the
 first blacksmith shops Of the new American colonies. among the first things made were hinges and latehes for the doors to the settlers cabins and locks to protect the scanty be- longings Of the colonies from the thiefing fingers Of the aborigines. This industry has grown and prospered. changing as the years went by so that all modern needs and wants are being filled through the ceaseless energy being expended on the manufacture of locks with skill and fine work manship.
 The growth Of the r. & r. Corbin concern became so rapid and the field ot Its eadeaAcrs so large, that it was soon seei, that something would have To De done tn take care of the in- creased bis'ness in certain lines. In lssV, F. F. corbin embarked in Inc manufacture of cabinet locks. but in the short space of little more than year, 1t became evident that the problems connected with the manu- lecture and sale of this line were such that they could be best handled by an organization formed for the purpose. ln 1882, the Corbin Cabinet Lock Co. was incorporated to take over this special line.
 The business doubled and then fripled until 1t was found imperative to build extra space to keep the busi- ness in New Britain. 4 brick struc- thfe was put up at the corner of Park and Orchard streets and to this, the Corhin Cabinet Lock Co. moved in 1883. Two years later, an addition was built and six years later another and following that still others until today. the concern handles the larg- est business of the kind in the coun- try.
 Cabinet locks formed the original product Of the company. but other 1 kindred lines were added. each Of l which has developed to a full assort- 1 ment and not occupy a leading posi- 1 ton in the manufacturing done at the i plant,

DIFFERENT TYPES
OF AUTO DRIVERS
Each Individual Has His
Own Ideas of Plotting
Cars Through Streets.

(By ERWIN GREER. President Greer Col
lege of Automotiye Engineering, chicago)
There are as many different types of
motorcar drivers as there are human
beings-there must be since the mind
operating the car is human. To point
out each individual kind of a driver is
certainty to point directly at you in
one or more cases. However, if it
tends to make the reader see himself
as that kind of a driver and to correct
that fault before six feet of earth is
piled ON top of him, why-the mission
of this article is accomplished
A word about the chap who, when
he wants to turn right, has somehow
always unanswered to your right and
must therefore cross over in front of
your car. The same with the left turn.
How easy it would be for every one
else if he would think a little in adj
vance and get his machine into po-
sition where if he wished to turn left,
he would be in the same left stream
of traffic
Driver With Denied Tenders.
Then the driver with the bent and
denied tenders and the battered or
missing hub caps. His special joy is
to come as close to your carefully
groomed car as possible without actu-
ally striking it. Often he miscalcu
lates and your machine is shocked
into condition resembling his. You
try to collect damages and discover
that he owes money on his car and
that it already has been attached for
damages sby some one else.
His brother can slip between a
truck and a street car with a diligence
and daring that is laudable. But one
day the resulting wreck minces several
law-abiding motorists.
Or the boy who comes on at siZ-
zling speed and then-bang lon goes
his brakes. The tires scrape, the car
lenses and groans and the brakes
shriek-everyone expecting a crash.
But, through the fine and lofty pur-
pose of the cars builder, things, some
how, hold together and the accident is
averted-that time. But one day this
habit of his results in his being re-
moved from the ighwayAforever.
Hates to Slow Down..
Still another type approaches, GID
ing at high speed in the grooves of
the trolley rails. Because of his
smooth approach he hates to slow
down, and whiz-over the crossing he
swishes, grazing a street car, truck,
several automobiles and half-a-dozen
pedestrians, Then he sticks his head
out of the side and grins at the con-
sternation he has caused. This very
same grin is on his face when, later,
he is hurried to the morgue.

Good Property Builders

It is asserted that farm lands along
cross-state highways in Missouri al
ready have been showing an increase
in values. There is nothing unusual
in that condition. Property along a
well-paved road practically always
commands a premium over that less
fortunately located, just as property
along a leading street or boulevard
Of the city has a value above the av-
erage. Good roads and good streets
are property builders, says the Kan
sas City Times. 1t has been the gen
eral result that the building of paved
roads increases business in towns
along the routes. gives the farmer
ready access to market, links him
I'D with the outside world and makes
his property more desirable.

ROAD 5.
BUILDING
OUTLINE PRINCIPLES
OF HIGHWAY SAFETY

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
The bureau of public roads of the
United States Department Of Agricu-
ture believes that consideration Of
highway safety is Of the greatest i'm
portance in view of the great increase
in highway traffic and highway acct
dents. A careful study Of existing
conditions has led to the following
statement of basic principles:
1. The development Of safe roads
by elimination Of all known dangers
IL so far as such elimination is posi-
BILE within physical and economic linn
itations
2. Warning Of uneliminated dangers
by means of easily recognized signs
and other devices of standardized
form. uniformly placed with respect
to the danger.
8. The development of safe vehicles
by perfection of running parts and
adoption of safety devices.
4. Diligence and care in the licens-
ing Of drivers Of motor vehicles to
eliminate the incompetent, careless.
and irresponsible driver.
s. The development Of simple. uni
form, and effectual traffic regulations
and the education of the whole pub
lie to a complete acquaintance with
them.
6. The rigid enforcement of traffic
regulations.
There is little doubt that a solution
of the problem worked out on the
basis of these principles would have
the effect of reducing the dangers Of
the open road to a minimum. The
bureau especially urges the necessity
of uniformity of action by the various
states in working out the means 81
applying these principles. 1t believes
that the work of a committee of the
American Association Of State High
way Officials on the problem will be
an important factor TO this end.
Engineers of the bureau state that
the problem can best be solved by the
selection of the best methods and
practices from the various states rath-
er than the working out of new meth
DDS and practices.

Admirable Silencer

Ordinary cotton braid, such as
every woman's sewing kit contains,
makes an admirable silencer wher-
ever sheet metal comes in contact with
sheet metal. Heavy cotton tape is
better where there is heavy wear, as,
for instance, under the hood. In the
case of squeaking tenders, a length of
cotton braid punched under the fasten-
ing nuts, which are then drawn up
tight on lock nuts, win be found use

Paved Highways Help to
Solve Freight Problem

The motor-truck has largely solved
one Of the greatest problems of freight
handling-the short haul. This has
added greatly to the expense of freight
handling by the railroads in the past,
and has been an inconvenience to the
railroads as well as a source of extra
costs in transportation.
With the development Of even-sur-
faced paved roads the mOtor-truck has
come to the aid of the shipper and the
railroads. The shipper may move his
goods with less delay and at smaller
cost; and the roads are saved the
trouble of handling short haul freight,
which often results in loss to them.
Realization of the Importance of the
motor-truck in this role has caused
many transportation authorities, to-
gether with leaders in the automotive
industry, to consider seriously the
building of an extensive system OF
heavy-duty, paved highways, the pri-
mary purpose of which will be to ac-
commodate motor-truck freight service,
although these highways would serve
other vehicular traffic.
Already this is being put into effect
in some places. Reinforced concrete
pavements of extra strength are being
built on streets and highways that ac-
commodate heavy freight traffic. One
of the most notable of this kind of
pavements is the concrete highway,
recently completed between Los An
geles and it's harbor at San Pedro. An
unusually large amount of freight is
carried by motor-truek over this har-
Dor truck boulevard, as it is called,
to the docks at San Pedro, where it
is loaded on ships for distant ports.
Other parts of the country have fol-
lowed this policy to wavering degree
to increase freight handling efficiency
by giving heavy-duty highways and
streets.

Better Crop by Flowing

time he usually can expect better
crop of either corn or potatoes by
blowing in early fall and again In
early spring. There is usually so
much work to do in the spring that
the more common practice Is TO pillow

disk thoroughly in the spring. For
best results, spring blowing should
be well disked before planting TO

Hates to Slow Down.
Oversize Tire Mileage

The custom of using oversize tires is
becoming popular, and 1t may be well
to remind car owners making this
change that these larger sizes, one inch
bigger in wheel diameter and three
inches in wheel circumference, make
difference in speedometer registra-
ton. The recording instrument will
turn up fewer miles with the larger
tires than with standard sizes. A 30
inch tire will drop a mile in every 30
Travelled or, in other words, will record
only % miles instead of 30 actually
travelled.

Exhaust Valve Springs

If the springs of the exhaust valves
become weak from use or heat the pis-
tons will draw burnt gases into the
cylinders, past the valves with the in
coming gasoline charge, giving an i'm
proper mixture. The valve springs
should be tested occasionally to see if
they are of full strength. The average
strength of a valve spring should be
80 pounds. At high engine speed the
exhaust valves nearly always permit
some leakage.

Turning Obstinate Nut

5 If a nut resists all ordinary blan-
dishments try the following: Heat
slightly an ordinary single spanner
that fits the nut and let it rest on the
nut for a few minutes. The heat trans
mitted from spanner to nut expands
the latter, so that it can usually be
run off without further trouble. Do
not make the mistake of heating the
nut with a blow lamp, as this expands
the bolt also, so that the condition is
unaltered.

Carbon Monoxide Is
Most Deadly Poison

With the coming of cool wealth
; er and the consequent need of
closing the garage up to keep
out drafts, extra precaution must
be exercised by all car owners
that the exhaust gas is piped out
so as not to contaminate the air
inside.
Carbon monoxide, always pres
ent in exhaust fumes, is a deadly
gas which exacts a heavy toll Of
casualties among careless motor
lists every winter. 1t is odorless
and colorless and gives no warn
ing, yet a small amount inhaled
will cause death. Play safe.
Before starting your motor in
the garage be sure that the pipe
you are using TO convey the ex-
haust gas to the outside air is
connected up.

To Avoid Scoring

When an engine has been standing
idle for several days, so that it is rea-

are dry, it is a very sensible precau-
ton to inject a couple of teaspoonfuls
of cylinder oil into each cylinder by
way of the petcocks and then turn the
engine over few times. This oil pre-
vents any danger OF scoring and also
assists in getting good compression

in the illustration. The bar, which is
six feet long, is fastened to a q bolt
on the front axle. A smaller U bolt
clamps the end of the bar to the

to one side, and in this way turns the
wheels in the desired direction.-Popu-

Ammonia Is Harmful
to Finish of Auto

There used to be a common
practice Of trying to brighten up
the finish of the hood by the use
on it of a solution of ammonia.
This is about the worst thing
that could be done, as ammonia
eventually destroys the finish.
Unfortunately, the ammonia
gives a little temporary bril-
lance to the finish. but in the
long run it ruins it. In fact, the
car manufacturers recommend
that no car be kept in a stable
or barn, as the ammonia from
manure gradually destroys the
enameled surface.
