Increase in the charging rate: II the
generator fails to function for any
reason. the hand swings away over
to the discharging side and the driv-
er knows that the whole load Is be
ing carried by the battery.
The ammeter never shows the full
flow OF electricity from the gener-
ator. hut il does Indicate the amount
II electricity that is flowing into or
out OF the battery. hence the i'm
portance OF the tell-tale current in
dicator and its ability to tell what is
going on all along the line.
The layman might ask why it is
important to know the exact minute
when the generator ceases TO func-
ton as long as the car will keep on
running with the current from the
battery. One important reason is that
il the generator fails due to broken
leads in or outside, it should be given
immediate attention or il will burn
out and entail considerable expense
for repairs. II he also knew that n
fully charged battery would turn his
engine over for fifteen minutes in
summer, but for only five minutes
or less when the temperature was
at zero. the ammeter tip might al.
so induce him to crank the motor by
hand and thus conserve the energy
of the battery.
The generator is the whole source
of supply of electricity and II keeps
the entire system in operation but II
requires little, IL any attention, from
the driver. 1t is more important TO
know that the electrical output of
the generator may be varied on
Chevrolet cars by what is known as
third brush adjustment, for the car
consumes more electricity In cold
weather than it does in warm and
the generator should be adjusted ac-
cordingly by one who is experienced
in doing this kind Of work.
1t is easy to know when generator
adjustment is required for the bat
terry will tell you all about II. Give
YOUR battery a hydrometer test evee
two weeks. If you find the battery
fully charged and requiring only a
little distilled water, everything is
all right. II at the end OF successive
two weeks periods you find the bat
terry persistently out OF water, 1t Is
an indication that the generator isl
supplying too much electricity and If
allowed to continue will result in Sc.
rious damage to the battery. II, on
the other hand, you find the battery
persistently undercharged the gener-
ator should be adjusted to supply
more current.
Watch Spark Gaps
IT Is important for the driver to
follow instructions carefully when
adjusting the gap on his spark plugs.
A high voltage is required to make
the spark jump the gap and thel
wider the gap the higher the voltage.
However, IL the gap is widened thel
voltage is automatically increased,
and if it goes high enough will cause
a failure in the ignition coil and will
require a new unit, which is rather
expensive.
Many drivers, and not few me-
chanlcs, have found that an enginel
which will not run properly whenI
idling. due to leaky valves or some|
other cause, will run fine IL the|
spark gap is widened. but they are|
merely relieving the difficulty for Al
short time at the expense OF the|
electrical system. instead OF findingl
he real cause Of the trouble and cor
recting it at its source

Few automobile owners. however
understand the story the ammeter
tells as the miles fly by. The am
meter Is the guardian of the whole
electrical system of the car, particu-

If you get acquainted with the am

Ocean Grove
Fights Suit

Application was made Friday before
Justice Frank 7. Lloyd sitting at Tren-
ton, by the Ocean Grove Campmeet-
ing association for writ of certiorari
! to review an oder entered Feb. Q,
Iappointing commissioners to assess
damages in the condemnation of lands
| OF the Ocean Grove Campmeeting
association for the board of education
Iof Neptune township. The applica-
| ton was made by McCarter q English
of New ark, and Patterson, Rhome &
M Ryan Asbury Park, representing the
Ocean Grove Campmeeting association.
The board of education of Neptune
township represented by Isaiah Matlack
of Geran & Matlack.
The CaInpmeeting association CON
tends that the board of education has no
power to condemn land belonging to the
Campmeeting association under the
general condemnation acts of the state
of New Jersey, and further, that the
eases to property in Ocean Grove COM
tain covenants that the lots shall only
be used for temporary residential
purposes and as a seaside resort, and
that consequently the owners of lease
holds in Ocean Grove all have an in-
forest in the property and should be
made parties to the suit for condemna-
ton.
The board of education contends that
it has power to condemn the land by
reason of the Eminent domain act and
that the other lotholders in Ocean
Grove are not interested parties to the
condemnation and therefore not nee
essary parties, and further because
the covenants in the leases have been
habitually violated by the Campmeet-
ing association itself as well as the
lessees. The Lessees Protective as,
ISOLATION filed protest against the
condemning Of the land signed by G..
ID. Hopper president. on the ground
that to permit tho board of education
to own the land would be detrimental
to other lotholders and in violation
Of the leases.
Justice Lloyd, after hearing the ar
guments directed REFS to be filed and

Coins Often Seen

A large copper American cent of 1897
is worth from % cents to 81, according
to it's condition, proof-plate, good or
damaged, yet the possessor, owing to
the early date, often thinks it of great
value. This same opinion is held Of all
denomination of American coins that
age, rather than the scarcity Of coinage
that year, determines its value. There
are coins of comparatively recent date
it will be seen that have more money
value than some old ones The very
thin coins have no greater than their
face value, as they are only the result
of being at the end of the metal strip
at its coinage. French silver coins
were extensively used in the Colonies
and some are in good condition, several
having been found in or near Freehold
in recent years. They are valued as
keepsakes. They are the sizes of our
10 25 and so cent silver pieces and
have the date of coinage and SPANS
coat of arms on them. Because of the
lower percentage of silver IN them the
British used them extensively to pay
off their soldiers during the Revolution.

Gasoline Cars in
Place Of Steam

1t is rulnored In local railroad cir
Giles that within a short time the Cen
trail Railroad Of New Jersey, will begin
the operation of gasoline ears on the
Freehold and Atlantic Highlands bran
ches with a terminal at Matawan Ac-
cording to the reports, which it is under
stool come from reliable sources, the
gasoline cars have already been pur-
chased by the company and will soon
be ready for delivery to the Freehold
and Atlantic Highlands division.
For years the Central Company has
operated two car steam trains over
these divisions those connecting with
the commuters trains on the New York
and Long Branch railroad in the morn
ing and at night being paying PROPOSE
tions, while the others were always said
to be non-paying venture. 1t is under
stood that the steam trains will contln-
ne to operate in the morning and even
ing, but during the balance the gaso-
line cars will furnish the transportation.
1t is also likely, it is saida the cars
may have their terminal at East Long
Branch, the same as many OF the steam
trains now, but for the first few weeks
after they are placed in operation, it Is
reported, they will operate between
Atlantic Highlands and MataWan and
Freehold and Matawan.
The new gasoline cars, it is said,
will operate on railroad time, running
on the schedule now followed by the
steam trains. The cars will reduce
operating expenses as the crew will be
greatly reduced and no coal burned as
in the steam trains. The. cars are light
er in weight than the regulation steam
cars although giving equal comfort In
riding qualities.
For some time past railroads of the
country have been placing these cars
in operation on non paying steam
lines and they have been found to be
popular and revenue making prep
ositions. One of themplaced in operation
by the Lehigh Valley railroad be-
tween Perth Amboy and Sonth Plain
field some months ago and it has
proved a very successful proposition.
The cars are also being used on various
divisions OF the Pennsylvania railroad
with success 1t is said the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey will place gaso-
line cars on the Barnegat and Bridge
ton runs.
