French Device Betrays
Unwary Speed Merchant

"Speed merchants bewarel A
Frenchman has invented a dread de-
vice, an automatic whistle, which will
give you away every time.
This. whistle, which was originally
designed as an attempt to damp the
demoniacal speed-lust of Paris taxicab
drivers, fits ON a bypass leading out
of the exhaust pipe. ut is suggested
that one should be thus fitted to every.
motor cab in Paris and sealed in po-
sition by the police.)
All is well so long as the taxicab
proceeds on its way decorously and
demurely. The moment, however, that

Oregon, Where Harvests
Give Work to Many, One
Of Chief Victims.

The problem of the migratory work
er in some Of the far western states
has become complicated through the
rise Of a new species OF hobo" who
travels about in ramshackle motor
car, often carrying with him his en-
tire family and housekeeping equip
ment. In oregon the natives call him
''the gasoline bum because of his
habit Of begging or borrowing gas
oline from passing motorists.
Borrow Gas.
It is easy to borrow gas In Ore
gon, which still retains much of the
free-handed, unquestioning hospitality.
of pioneer days. Towns and filing
stations are far apart and when a
traveller with a tank full Of gasoline
in his own machine comes upon
some forlorn family gathered around
a stalled flivver in an out-of- the-way
spot he is usually glad to lend" from
his store enough fuel to enable it to
get to the next village. The loan
usually develops into a gift.
But that is not the worst Of 1t.
Often these transients win stop at a
farm house to beg nights shelter
or a bite of food Later the farmer is
likely to discover that his henroost
has been pillaged, his cellar looted
and that every valuable thing which
can be easily carried off has been
taken.
Oregon suffers peculiarly from this
motoring tramp because so much Of
the work in the state is seasonal.
From the beginning of the strawberry
harvest in May to the end of the APP
pie harvest in November, Oregon's
farmers must depend largely upon
transient workers. The state depart
ment of labor has organized an EN-
ployment commission in the hope of
deyising system under which it will
be possible to utilize all thu resident
labor, but it has found difficulty in
getting the farmers to give definite
estimates of their requirements SO
that arrangements can be made in adj
vance to meet them.
Jobs for ALL.
On this account, says a writer in
the Monthly Labor Review, word has
gone out that there are jobs in Oregon
for all who may drift in during the
harvest months. Many of those who
drive wheezy cars into the state are
actually looking for work, but many
others are looking for no more of it
than an indispensable minimum. And
there is the usual train Of camp fol
lowers, habitual mendicants, loafers
and vagabonds.

Special Resistance Coil
Used in Ignition System

On practically all cars made today,
the ignition system operates on the
closed circuit principle. This means
that the contact points that are used
to break the current in the primary
circuit of the spark coil are closed ex-
cept during a very brief interval fol-
lowing the break which causes the
spark. And as the primary circuit
of the standard type Of spark coil has
a relatively low resistance, it is neces-
sary to put a special resistance coil In
circuit with it to limit the flow of cur
rent. This special resistance coil is
ordinarily located on the spark coil as
shown in the illustration.

resistance and thus permitting the
greatest possible flow of current
through the coil. A start can always
be made in this way unless your bat
terry is absolutely dead so that there
is not the slightest amount of current
left in tia condition which is rare.
The method of short-circuiting this
resistance coil will depend on the con-
struction of the particular type of coil
in your car, but by careful examina-
ton you will be able to see how to
connect a short piece of wire so that
the current can get around the resist
ance. The short-circuiting wire should
be removed as soon as the motor has
been started, because if it is left on
for any length of tine the extra cur
rent may seriously damage the COIL

Nineteen Miles an Hour
Is Most Dangerous Speed

When the automobile speedometer
hovers around 10 miles an hour, it is
the most hazardous pace at which a
motorist can travel, in the opinion of
John N. Mackall chairman of the
Maryland state roads commission, who
asserts that 95 per cent of all traffic
accidents occur while cars are proceed
ing at this speed. He said:
"Nfnety-fve per cent of the automo-
bile accidents occur as a result OF a
speed Of 10 miles an hour, as statistics
show on the sworn testimony Of those
who figured in the accidents.
II am not interested in speculations
as to the most comfortable rate Of
speed when crash occurs. What l
am interested in is to avoid the crash
by regulation OF traffic at uniform
and reasonably rapid rate of speed. /
cannot say definitely what is the most
desirable minimum. That must be de-
cided by tests.
at is certain, however, that rate
of 25 or 30 miles an hour would tend
to eliminate the jockeying for position
in line which results when one auto
mobile creeps along at 10 or 20 miles
an hour in front of other machines
which want to get somewhere.
with a rate of speed sufficiently
rapid to obyiate the necessity of one
machine getting out of line to pass an
other, the greatest cause of automo-
bile accidents would be removed

Then Billie Brownie went to see the
vultures, but they were busy listening
to everything that was going on, and
they seemed to be listening so atten-
lively. that they could pay no atten-
ton to anything else at all.
He stopped and saw some small
bald eagles, and he thought to him
self that they looked very much like
golden eagles. but the little bald
eagles told him they could be told
apart by their unfeathered legs,
which bit of information Billie
Brownie promised to remember.
