However, the law is not being enforced as the Department of Highways has no* yet sent out the list 0 its approved lights or apparatus to dim and lower lights now commonly used, This list will not be out for a few ‘days. ‘The first list will be of Canadian manufacâ€" tured lights and apparatus which the Government approves. ‘This list is now being completed, 1t was suggested to the department that the list apâ€" proved in New York State be used here hllvulfl!hui!hlrhlhi Canadian manufacturers of these are ticles, and the Government Hst will place Canadianâ€"made apparatus first. The department may also allow the painting of the lens on auto lights to keep the light rays down and the proper strength.

They also result in a loss of power. Another way to increcse the amount of gasoâ€" line burned is to have your brakes drag. With the modern brake and its case of adjustment there is no exâ€" this. If the valves do not seat proâ€" perly they will allow the fuel mixâ€" ture to leak out. Even when the carbureter question has been answered, the car owner does not want to rest his case, for a perfect carburcter alone will not anâ€" swer the gasoline wastage question. The ignition must be in perfect order. Cable connections at all points must be kept clean and tight.

The latter mixture, which is called & lean mixture, will give the best reâ€" sults. Despite this, many drivers use a mixture which is nearer the eight parts of air with one of gasoline This is known as a rich mixture, and has a tendency to make the cylinders carbonize rapidly. A rich mixture also makes the engine sluggish and prevents the quick getâ€"away that is desirable when driving in city trafâ€" fie. 7 T M en hars is waon sA J _ The automobile engine of today operates on a mixture which ranges from eight parts of air with one of gasoline to fourteen parts of air with one of gasoline. Probably the greatest waste of gaso line is due to the habit of allowing the motor of trucks and passenger cars to run while the car is idle. ‘There are two other items that should recelve consideration when citemptâ€" Ing to secure fuel economy. .
