There was a time when the only sort of vehicle which required a noisy signal was the sleigh. That moved along so silently that on a dark night Probably you think because it i8 yourhorn you can blow it as much as you want to. You have a right to, up to the point of making a nuisance of yourself but the really good driver does not find it necessary to blow his own horn except in emergency or acâ€" tual danger . § +â€" BLOWING HOR Pedestrian Hi Some Re: MOTOR SECTION E ; Opposite Village Inn, Grimsby 3 s Three Shopsâ€"Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Grimsby §I thl:elf |-|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||!||||||||||||||||||||l|| night Wednesday, September Ap snn 1 mm B mm Hit mm K Bm mm N m N is mss 1 w H mm U mm N ce iB mm it eWmm N H mm K smm H mm B smm NB mee en PIâ€"._"â€"'._"â€".Iâ€"IIâ€"IIâ€"II-â€"IIâ€"I‘ Tires Service Station for McLaughlin and Overland Cars f GENUINE FORD PARTS Our labor charges are only. 90c per hour Truck for Hireâ€"â€"â€"â€"Good Service Williams and Anderson EASE CONTROEL ‘ | %h /\'))) )//; O @ innmiemmim ie e en mm on n imeen on omm n on o omm nnn oe o nen e m n on o ce o e mee c oe e en e ue o e enve un i o e U n0 10 000200000000 9. .e 0 L w en en n CE O O e Euen on ooE n on t en o fln THE new McLaughlin Light Six has grown in favor among ladies who drive because of its ‘ease of control, its graceful lines and its comfortable riding qualities. f ,__The. new McLaughlin Light Six is powered with the famous 44â€"horse power McLaughlin Light Six overhead valve motor. ~Ownâ€" ers report from 20 to #0 miles per gallon and from 8 to 12 thousand miles on tires.

The fish horn, the junkâ€" man‘s cowbells or the milkman‘s handbell were the only other signals warning of the approach of a vehicle. The silent moving bicycle brought in a new era. It was necessary â€"~to warn people of its approach but the warning was not intended to make people jump or rush violently out of the way. ~The bicycle rider was on the lookout for pedestrians and he only desired that they should not sud denly step in front of the wheel. The pedestrian had the right of way. When the automobile came into use the bicycle horn or ibell served the same purpose. It was understood that the perdestrian had the first right in the highway, and the auto driver must see that this right was preserved. When the auto supplantâ€" ed the horse in large part, we began <AI _ &\ \\ Specialty Oils _ ind eB meâ€"n to hear the autoist talking about "his rights"; he insisted that pedestrians keep off the road, and the horn be= gan its peremptory command ao . get out of the way or be run over. I presume there are some motorists who think they have prior rights on the roadway and that pedestrians should keep to the sidewalk, but this is not a fact. It does not matter what ordinances or police regulations there are to th contrary, the pedesâ€" trian has the first right in any part of any highway. Nevertheless, I suppose a lot of boob drivers will per sist in disregarding those rights and in blowing the horn violently upon every possible occasion, insisting that people get out of the way. In fact too much horn blowing indicates the novice and seems to say, "I have not eot my car under control, so get out got my car under Control, 50 &°L Ouk of the way." * But there is coming to be, more and more, a set of drivers who realâ€" ize that the courtesy of the drawing room or business office can be apâ€" plied to the highway without discomâ€" fort or delay. â€" They ghave learneda that it is not necessary to blow the horn every time they see someone try ing to cross the street, or they meet another vehicle. <A: certain amount of signaling is needed in driving but I am willing to assert that I can drive from the Battery to Harlem without tooting the horn half dozen times, and this would be only to warn pedestrians or drivers who were runâ€" ning into unseen danger. It is not necessary to blow a horn in passing a vehicle in the city streets unless there is a likelihood that the driver ahead may turn in front of you, and the rule says he shall indicate this purpose by holding out the hand before turning the wheel so that by watching him yOUu know what he is going to do. Try some time on a trip to see just how few times it is really necessary to blow the horn and probably you will bhe very much surprised.â€"New York World. T The modern spark plug operates for extremely long periods without giving trouble, but occasionally the motorist encunters persistent â€" Plug trouble and cannot explain the cause A jertain group of owners Will inâ€" stall cheap plugs which, to say the least, are expensive. Plugs as now made should not give trouble for six. months if the operating conditions are right. The greatest source of plug failure may» be traced to leakâ€" age in the plug itself. This Tefers to hot gas leakage brought about by nonâ€"gastightness of joints in the plug. The loss in power due to reduc tion in compression pressure is hard ly worth ‘consdering . as comparted with the damage done by the _ ' of the gasses. The excessive hea causes insulators to crack and . beâ€" cause of carbon contained in the gas there is a lack of black soot deâ€" posited which also interferes with plug operation ‘Where the plugs are so located as to receive no beneâ€" fit from jacket water the cinditions are still worse, because suck plugs run ormally hot.â€"Motor for July.
