LIGHT REFOCUSING
IS SPRINGTIME JOB
Cars Stored for Winter Usually
Show Great Need for Lamp
Readjustment.

Nobody will know how many head.
lights are out of focus until they have
been pushed back into normal posi-
ton again.
This is the conclusion reached by
Ernest n. Smith. general manager OF
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, following a study of the causes
Of glaring headlights.
Owners do not realize the effect of
Winter storage upon headlight ad-
justment." he explains. Cars are
jammed into the public garages and
are pushed about in a way that is
virtually necessary under the circum-
stances. For some odd reason, how
lists prefer to pick out the headlights
as the proper part of the cars anat-
omy to take hold of when pushing.
Naturally this throws the lights out
of focus.
Rules for focusing headlights as
used by the American Automobile AS
sociation stress the importance Of the
position of the head lamps them
selves. 1t is possible to have a bulb
Of the correct candlepower and focus,
lens of the approved type and a
head lamp the legal height from the
ground. but if the lamp Is out of line
and bent out Of its normal position
it will glare.
what is even more important is
the fact that with the lamp out of
focus the driver of the car WILL not
enjoy the safety of proper road
illumination.
I'VE have got to push thousands
Of head lamps back into position now
that Spring is coming and night driv-
ing Is on the increase. And motor
lists have got to learn not to push
their cars around by the lamps.
Bumpers are provided for rough
treatment, where necessary"

.FIRST-AID KIT URGED
FOR TOURISTS CARS
Spring, D.awing Motorists From
Beaten Path, Takes Many Far
From Physicians.

A first,aid kit should be included in
every tool box. according to Dr. Her.
man n. Bundsen. commissioner of
health Of Chicago, who points out
that. with the touring season ap-
preaching, motorists are apt to find
themselves at times out OF reach OF
physician and unable to obtain prornpt
attention to minor injuries.
I'm making a trip" DIR. Bundesen
declares, motorists prepare for almost
everything but accidents. yet emer-
gencies that require prompt first-aid
treatment frequently arise and in
such emergencies preparedness means
safety.
Trips to the country often take
the motoriSt to places far removed
from human habitation. During the
first days of Spring the automobile
will carry millions away from the
beaten highways into corners where
the services of n physician are not
available. In these out-of.the- way
places one may encounter a reckless,
driver whose careless ac-
tions may result in injury to himself
or to others: at camp. insect bites.
sprains and bruises are common in
juries. It is simply good sense. then,
for the motorfst to carry a flrstaid kit
and to familiarize himself with its use.
Every officer Of the motor vehicle
of our cities and States
is striving to reduce the preventable
accidents and the progress
they have made Is commendable. It
is beyond their ability or any other
power to prevent the suffering and
death resulting even from the minor
injuries without the proper first-aid
treatment for injuries"
The flrst,aid kit recommended by
DR.. Bundesen contains the following
Two ounces of tincture of iodine or
6 per cent mercurochrone; I dozen
small cotton swabs. two 2-inch gauze
one 1-inch gauze bandage;
/ yard sterile gauze; Y pound sterile
cotton; tourniquet or small rubber
tube feet long; l small scissors; 1
yard Of one-half inch zinc oxide ad-
hesive plaster; dozen small and l
dozen large safety pins: ounces Of
aromatic spirits Of ammonia.

The idea that nothing new Is pos

ing has been shelved and in its stead
there has grown up a new enthusiasm

Motor busses are cutting drastically
into the passenger and freight busi-
ness of short-haul roads, interurban
lines and the like. The motor bus has
unquestionable advantages for use in
congested centers: in territories such
as that between Washington and, say
Boston.
In the strip from the Capital to the
Massachusetts, metropolis there are al
most numberless profitable short
hauls. Large cities and thriving
towns are placed almost end to end,
and the motor bus can there very
readily make an impression upon the
business of railroads and interurban
electric lines. The bus eliminates sew
eral freight handlings-often is
quicker-and apparently is satisfac-
tor from a number Of other points Of
view.
Buses are, then, cutting into the
traffic and the profits of the short-hau
lines. Inasmuch as the East is replete
with them. this section is witnessing
marked development in the relatively
new industry of motor bus transporta-
ton.
The main railroad systems of this
section are not worrying to any ex-
tent over the advent Of the bus and
truck On an imposing scale, but are
in many instances utilizing these fac
tors as adjuncts to their own service.
In other words, instead Of fighting
the bus and truck, the far.seeing
steam and electric lines are making

A man is fool If he won't act on the

But the repairers he stopped TO con
suit couldn't help him any. They did
their best, but they, too. were think
ing in terms of older models. They
were not familiar enough with the
new cars to know the new noises.
Later in the day, while proceeding
cautiously upon his way, the motor
list happened to run over a section Of
the road where some loose stones had
been deposited. All at once he heard
the familiar ''clang." Before he could
apply the brakes there were two repe-
titions. It was obvious TO him then
that the condition of the road had
something to do with It, and the next
moment he realized that his myster-
ious noise was nothing more nor less
than the loose stones being tipped by
the tires and hurled against the.
But what? That was the question

TO happen when went over such
roads with my two-wheel brake car,
but now there are twice as many
drums for loose stones to strike"
1t isn't anything that he worries
about any more.
All over the new cars there are
new features that may or may not
develop their own peculiar noises. 1t
depends upon conditions. And the mo-
torist is much more likely to notice
them because most of the older noises
so common to the older cars are gone
entirely.
When a driver no longer hears
humming timing gears, clicking valve
tappets, kissing carburetors. grinding
gears and loose body bolts it is only
natural that some of the more choice
noises of the newer cars should en-
gage his attention.
Complete satisfaction results the
moment he becomes acquainted with
these new noises and realizes that
they are Just company for him and
nothing to worry over.

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS:

car that leads a humdrum life soon
becomes a trouble-rna I've seen
lots of body squeaks that were nothin'
more nor less than the result OF
always bein' inside when the weather
Is wet. A body needs dampness, even
a good drenchin' once in a while.
A car that Is always climbin' hills
is quite as likely to give special trou.
BILE as the one that never sees real
hill from one year to the next. A good
hill now and again warns up the en-.
gine to a point where a lot Of gaso-
line in the crankcase burns off. But
if the cars life is all hills and no
play it is very apt TO breed a lot OF
special troubles.
A normal car ought to be run at top
speed once in a while, and occasionally
it should be run at it's very minimum
speed Variety is the secret Of good
service from d car, for often a change
in drivin will reveal some unexpected
trouble that is brewin'.

them a part of an all-encompassing
service to the nublic.
Independent bus and truck lines
undoubtedly are making their inf1u-
ence felt, but at the present time the
actual physical losses they are infiict-
ing are being borne mostly by those
roads serving thickly populated re.
gions, with cities following rapidly
upon one another.
For that reason the motor bus and
the motor truck have welded the
greatest influence in this section of
the country. In the West, where
jumps are long and roads fewer, the
rail systems have yet to feel the
whole broad swing Of the power Of
the rubber.tired carrier.
Is there danger that the bus and
truck will supplant the railroad?
Should holders of railroad securities
become apprehensive over an outlook
which indicates that the gasoline pro-
PEELED conveyance will become an in.
creasingly significant influence in the
American transportation scheme?

Most cars l serve don't seem to en-

lead. Cars are a little human in
some respects. and this situation dem
onstrateS 1t. The man who leads a
humdrum existence doesn't get much
out of life and doesn't put much into
it. It's the same with cars.
Some cars are used for short runs
around the city. their owners takin' a
train when they are going any dis
tance. Other folks make il habit to
take a spin each Saturday afternoon
and Sunday, keeping the car locked
up in the garage the rest of the time.
There are a lot of people who never

.One Of the most striking evidences
or the continued enthusiasm for au-
tomobiles is the willingness of the
public TO trade in cars that still are
good. The motorist wants the latest
and the best value. He Is willing to
assume n loss on the old car. or to
scrap bare transportation value, in
order TO avail himself of the newer ad-
VantageS.
This one trend has served to Danish
the fear Of saturation point in sales
and production of new motor cars. For
years the economists have said that
there would come time when all who
could own cars would have them. New
sales would then be slowed down until
the old cars were worn out. they
maintained. The fact is, however, the
motorist does not wait until the old
car wears out. A new one comes along
with certain new features which he de-
sires. He buys new car and figures
the investment a paying one.
Safety features are making an ir-
resistible appeal to the motorist this
year, and are serving TO stimulate
further enthusiasm. There are many
things he has avoided just because he
feared cars were not safe enough. He
left the car at home in rainy weather
because he was afraid of skid. He
avoided traffic because he could not
stop quickly enough for comfort: He
kept down the speed on long trips.
even though he needed TO reach his
destination as quickly as possible. be-
cause he was afraid of the conse.
Quences of collision.
"CIosed Car" Basis Adopted.
One close observer Of conditions
says that this year many people have

it has been demonstrated to their
satisfaction that stronger bodies and
nonshatterable windshields obviate
the worry over what would happen In
event of a collision. Closed cars now
are among the safest cars on the road
and thousands are making the switch
from open models.
With stron~er frames, bumpers all
around, front, back and sides, and
with brakes that always are in ad
juStment and invariably reliable, col
lisions are becoming less and less seri-
Gus. The element of fear is disappear
ing, and even the timid are taking the
wheel in an effort to satisfy the age
old desire for personal transportation.
Fads come and go. this observer
says. but the appeal Of the automobile
becomes stronger and stronger. This
is demonstrated convincingly by the
TACT tlat III the race or one OF the
greatest developments and diversions
the world has ever known--the radio
automobile sales actually have In
creased a a rate hitherto unknown to
