Do Not Run Motor With
Battery Out of Place

Never run the engine with the stor-
age battery out of the car or discon-
nected, unless you first see to it that
the generator is rendered imperative.
Whenever the generator Is being
driven by the engine 1t Is delivering
current to the battery, but If the bat
terry Is not in the circuit 1t is not hard
to understand that the generator will
build up voltage which will very
soon damage or burn ont the windings,
to say nothing of what it might do to
the commutator and brushes.
Even if the battery Is defective and
will not charge. 1t should be left con-
nected to the electrical system until
1t is replaced by another battery; that
is. If the engine Is to be run in the
meantime Or. If no substitute bat
terry is obtainable for use during the
time the other battery is undergoing
repair, the car can be run without
fear OF damage to the generator If
the field winding is disconnected. In
some cases the generator Is OF the
type having thermostatic control, and
this requires the short circuiting of
the generator usually across the ter
minals.-Motor Life.

Why One Cannot See So
Well in Glaring Light

An observant chauffeur, passing an
automobile with glaring headlights.
noted that objects at the side of the
road which had been distlnctively WIS.,
ible dropped out Of sight when the
bright lights were thrown upon them.
Since one can see better in little
light than in no light, he wondered,
why can one not see better in bright
light than in moderate light?
The answer is, paradoxicaliy, that
the less light there Is the better one
sees. for the brighter the object the
less efficient is the eyesight. If. after
we have been In darkness, we sudden
ly turn on bright light and look at
our eyes In the mirror, we can see
the pupil Of the eye rapidly growing
smaller. If we reduce the light the
pupil dilates again. What happens
is the same as In the camera when we
adjust the shutter to the intensity of
the light.
The colored iris of the eye corre-
spends to the shutter. It consists
chiefly Of 8 ncuscla- which, the tthhe light Nsgat
increases, Is stimulated to contract.
thus drawing the curtain and shutting
out some Of the superfluous light. It
usually takes a few seconds for tlAs
adjustment TO take place Thus when
we emerge from darkness into light
we are blinded until the iris can shut
out some of the light from the eyes.

HINTS TO WOMEN
Who DRIVE CARS
Attend to Business in Hand
Is Advice of an Auto
motive Engineer.
tpy ERWIN GREER. President 6;, Greer Col

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege of Automotive Engineering. Chicago)
1t Is to be confessed, at the begin
ming, that my discourse Is not directed
at all drivers, but at a comparatively
small number of motorists with driv-
ing experience which should have
taught them better, whose handling of
their cars leaves, in my opinion. some
thing to be desired.
Ladies, don't loll. 1t Is distressing
to see even mere man sprawled
out behind a steering wheel. but far
more so in the case of woman.
The woman who holds herself well
has way of making good i'm
preston wherever she may be, and
this applies equally whether she is
driving car or sitting at dinner
table.
What Men viii Think.
Don't take advantage of the fact
that you are woman, because.
though most men drivers will make
way for you even when you are In
the wrong, they will think the less of
you while they do so. And there are
some men who will insist upon their
rights" as motor car drivers. Should
you encounter this last named species
there is likely to be crash.
Don't think about the possible I'M
preston you may be making upon 9th
er road users Attend strictly to the
business in hand There still exists
in the minds Of a good many people
an idea that 1t Is not safe for women
to drive automobiles Do your best
to destroy this false impression by
handling your car with care and con-
slderation for others.
Don't imagine that other drivers will
unnecessarily stare at you. If they
do, 1t will be not because they are
admiring you. but because you have
done something that has made them
doubtful of your ability to drive. Show
them that you are mistress Of the art.
Don't Be Careless.
Don't shave things. Leave that
trick to the barber. Good drivers give
other vehicles clearance.
Don't drive carelessly over wet
streets. A hole full of water may not
mean much to you. but to the pedes-
trian who receives in his face the wa
ter elected from the hole by your
tire, it Is a matter of mOment-damn-
able moments Remember the time
that you were spattered with mud.
And If you must speed. buy a rae
ing car. Those things were built es-
pecially for people who have nowhere
to go and who want to get there In
a hurry.
Now pass this little article on to
friend husband-that he. too, may read
and gain driving wisdom thereby.

Who" But here are some of the high
| spots, as the story Is told:
The story begins with an Indian
maid, the daughter Of Chief White
Plume of the Kaws She married a
French voyageur and her daughter
married an American pioneer of Eng
| lish blood. When Charley Curtis was
ten years old war party Of Chey-
ennes swooped down at noon upon the
Kaw camp. The Kaws held out till
night. when Charley slipped through
ard made his way to Topeka on foot,
sending back help in time to save his
people.
Topeka was then a frontier cow
town much given to racing cow-ponles
Before he knew 1t the boy was pro
fessional Jockey. riding In Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Colorado and Indian
Territory. Those were the good old
days. At race meeting In Kansas
City the james Boys raided the gate
and rode away with the admission
money. After five years in the saddle
young Curtis put on too much weight
and found himself in Topeka. pretty
much adrlft. There party of Kaws
found him. There was great rejoicing
and the boy decided to go back to his
people.
In the party of Kaws was Charles
grandmother--they give her the name
OF Julie Poppln. In the stiffness OF
the night of the first camp out of To-
peka she came to her grandson, told
him she loved him, advised him to
follow the way of his fathers people
rather than become n blanket Indian
on IL reservation, gave him her best
pony and started him back to the
world of the white man--and the lead
ership Of the United States senate.
In Topeka young Curtis went to
school for n year. Then his money
gave out and he took job as driver
of night hack. A lawyer friend ad-
him books. which he studied by his
hack light between fares. He was ad-
mitted TO the bar In 1881 and prac-
ticed In partnership with A. ii. Case
until elected county attorney of Shaw
nee county In 1884. He was elected
to the Fifty-thlrd congress and served
continuously to the SiXtleth. In 1907
he wns elected to the senate.
In February. 1913, a little group OF
Republican senators were sitting In
the Republican cloakroom of the sen
ate gossiping in reminiscent VEIN The
congress expired on March 4. and many
old-timers were being retired to pri-
vate life simultaneously with the be-
ginning of the first Woodrow Wilson
administration. Senator Curtis ex-
pressed his regrets that he was to
be sent back to private life at that
particular juncture.

began to form into drifts. Driven
from his work on the car through the
numbing cold, Mr.. Sites was forced
to abandon his attempt at making re-
pairs and herded his family into the
nearest shelter
Night descended. The blizzard
roared with increasing force. Morn
ing came, but with it no lessening of
the fury of the storm. One day
passed Cold and hunger brought
whimperings from the children, and
comforting words were all that the
father and mother could offer.
Came a second night and second
day. The whimperings of the children
had grown to fearful appeals for food
and for warmth.
Mother Starts for Aid.
With the courage born of the danger
to her loved ones, Mrs. Sites deter
mined to make a desperate effort to
obtain aid. Clasping her children to
her breast for what might be the last
time, she set off. alone, facing the
deadly perils of the blizzard, plunging
into the unknown.
Hours dragged by. Exhausted by
hunger and her own exertions, she
struggled through the drifts, some
times falling, sometimes almost forced
to relinQuish her quest, but always
there remained the thought of her
loved ones. She went on.
At last she reached the ranch-house
of Mccoy and told in incoherent words
her story.
Aid Immediately was rushed to the
husband and the children and they
were brought here. A brother of Mr..
Sites in Ophtr was notified and he
came here fer the family.
