Many Autoists Neglect
OiIing of Vital Parts

The modern motorist by this time
has become, as a rule, well educated
in the care Of his car, save in the
single respect Of attending to the lu-
IRRIGATION of the chassis. The average
motorist has learned, perhaps, by the
experience of paying $40 or $50 for a
new battery, that it pays to attend
regularly to it's filing and testing.
He has learned, perhaps, through
paying for new bearings for his motor
that it pays to keep plenty of oil in his
crank case.
But it is the average motorist who
does not realize the Importance of
chassis fabrication, because he never
has realized sharply just what his neg
lect in this respect costs him.
He is more apt, very humanity, to
blame it upon the maker of the car,
and tells his friends that his car has
not stood up the way it should. If
there were some way of making the
motorist realize that it is nothing more
or less than his own neglect of chas-
sis fabrication that has been the cause
of most of his troubles 1t would go a
long way toward %prolonging the life
and the satisfactory service of most
motor cars.

Too Rich Mixture Will
Often Cause Motor Heat

Improper carburetor adjustment is
often the cause of 0verheated engines.
Too rich mixture results in a pro
longed, sluggish ignition causing the
intense heat to be maintained over a
longer period Of time. This causes
the water to heat up too quickly and,
in its comparatively short cycle Of
circulation, it cannot become properly
cooled, so that an o~verheated engine
results.
The increased heat, due to the pro
longed, sluggish ignition caused by a
rich carburetor mixture. is transmit
ted to the circulating water through
the medium of the cylinder walls. The
rise in the water temperature is in
stantly recorded by the heat indicator
on the radiator cap through the me-
dium of the vapor temperature over
the water. The warning of an over
heated engine is thus given in ample
time before serious damage results.

History Records Only
-Four Perfect Women

Some time ago a correspondent in
qulred Of the editor as to who were
the -four perfect women"
The question proved a difficult one
and for a time appeared to be of
those "catch questions which people
sometimes employ to prove that edi-
tors do not ''know beans,'' but we
have found In an interesting com
mentary by a famous Arabian a state
ment to the effect that "among man
there have been many perfect men,
but no more than four of the other
sex have attained perfection"
The four perfect women referred to
by the Arabian were Asia, wife OF
Pharaoh; Mary, mother of Christ
Khadijah, the Prophets first wife, and
Fatima, who was Mahomet's lovely
daughter.
Possibly this is the answer to the
inquiry. If it is not "we give it up

Hugo's House OF Exile
to Belong to France

The French government is about to
acquire for the French nation Haute-
vile house, st. Peter port, Guernsey,
in which Victor Hugo lived for Is
years when exiled from France for his
political views. Over 200 years old,
Hauteville house is a large double
fronted building. The interior is like
a museum. The walls are covered
with tapestries and the furniture is
of dark oak, which the writer collected
as a hobby. Everything is left just as
Hugo last saw it in 1878. The oak
room contains the famous bed pre-
pared for Garibaldi in 1860; the gen.
eral never came, and the bed has
never been used. In two odd corners
are two little tables, where the author
used to write while standing. On
these were written, among other works
'Toilers of the Sea" and Les Miser-
abIes.'

Protecting the Spare
Tire From Exhaust Gas

The poisonous gases that issue from
the exhaust of an automobile very
often cause the rapid deterioration of
the spare tire. These fumes curl
about the tire, eat away the live in

tire is placed upon the wheel the rot
ten fabric explodes with a loud "plop."
A piece of sheet iron bent and at

SAFETY DEMANDS
FOR CAR DRIVER
Persons Driving Autos Soon
to Pass Examination as
to Qualifications.


The day is coming when the law will
require all persons to pass examina-
tions proving that they are physically
and mentally fit and have sufficient
knowledge to drive an automobile safe
ly. Part of this examination will be
on just such subjects as the one pre-
sented in these lessons.
Persons who should not be allowed
to drive cars include:
a. Children below a certain age
CASUALLY sixteen).
b. Persons whose height does not
permit easy reach of the controlling
pedals.
c. Persons who have not sufficient
strength to operate control levers cas-
lily and positively.
d.. Persons under the influence of
liquor or drugs.
e. Epileptics or others subject to fits
or fainting spells.
f. Persons who do not know and I'M
derstand the traffic laws, ordinary
cerned with safe and efficient auto
mobile operation.
G. Persons with dangerous defective
hearing or eyesight.
h.. Cripples or persons minus arms
or legs whose defects interfere with
their safe control of an automobile.
i. Persons whose nervous structure
is not sound or who do not react
quickly.
j. The mentally incompetent.
Laws Are Needed.
Laws have not yet been passed
covering all of these points, but we
should bear these things in mind be-
cause they are essential for our own
safety and the safety of others.
The demands for safety are more
stringent than the demands of the law
and rightly so. Laws are primarily
to insure justice. A full appreciation
of safety I've lives and limbs no
matter who is to blame.
A man may have a mechanically
perfect car, but because of careless
driving he may cause an accident that
results in serious injury or death to
himself or others.
Reckless driving is not a demon
stration of skill.
A momen or two saved today by
reckless speeding is not efficiency, for
speeding tomorrow may result in g.
smash that will lay up the car for
several days and you for several
months. Hurrying to get ahead of a
train, a street car, or another vehicle
saves only a homer or two at the
ultimate destination and the gain is
not worth the price there is too much
danger of accident.
Best Drivers Are Careful.
The best drivers are especially care
full at dusk or twilight. There is then
neither enough daylight nor sufficient
artificial light to make objects dis
tinguishable at ordinary distances.
Slow up for all turns in the road.
Blind n are dangerous. When it
is impossible to see what is coming
from around the corner, be prepared
to stop. Sound horn a short distance
before the corner.
When installing chains on the rear
wheels, install them on both wheels
or none at all. Only one chain may
result in a serious accident. Chains
on all four wheels help the steering
of the car.
There are ruts at the bottom of
almost every hill. Hitting these ruts
at too high a speed may cause the
driver to lose control of his car.
Drive slowly at bridges and at cul-
verts. A bad rut or a stone in the
road may throw your car against the
structure.
