Here are a few useful spares that are fre- quently forgotten, Extra bulbs for the Beadlights ought always to be car- ried.: A few. dry cells may be invalu- able in emergency. Two or three pairs of pliers instead of the custom- ary one, should certainly be carried. Spare tire valves and a hand tiré pump for emergencies will be friends in need on ogcasion, Towing Pole. A piece of two by four "scantling" with two one inch holes about six inches apart and near the ends for use in tymg the pole 'to the car being tow- ed and the pulling vehicle has certain advantages De® he tow rope, since it holds the towed car at a safe dis- tance; -- Gear Shifting, It 18 often found that gear changes from low or high into intermediate TRUCK USERS MAY SAVE EXPENSES BY "SIMPLE METHODS One of the most striking examples of ifgomsistency during these war: days is 'the man who economizes in fpota; Some will religiously observe all the =--less days and keep right on smoking as many or more three for a dollag 'cigars. : Agals we find some firms crowding ever partment for big productions and Pou costs apd happily sliding i ; 1 This is often due to the new clutch, which drags slightly, but more often it is caused by the operator's being new to the car and not thoroughly familiar with the speed of the motor at which sh¥ting is easily accomplished. In this case a little practice is all that is needed. If the rasping of the second gear cannot be avoided and it is fear- ed that the gears may be damaged, avoid shifting from first into second. Accelerate a little more and shift from first to high and then consult the ser- vice station, which will instruct as to the proper method of changing. Axle Noises. When noises issue from the axle housing they may be ascribed to one of the following causes Maladjust ment of the driving gears. gears that have worn out of round or become warped, differential bearings that are worn or broken, a broken teoth or teeth in the gear, or metal chips in the mechanism along on their motdr truck delivery, guessing and oftentimes hoping that they are not wasting too much of their profit on this department. As a rule, especially among retail- ers, they all have the same excuse "that advertising value of their truck on the streets and the prompt deliv- ery impression" makes up for an losses due to careless operation. Ad- mitting that this advertising value of motor truck delivery will carry over the deficits of lack of economy and efficiency in motor truck delivery, still ONTARIO CAN GET IT AT ALBANY IF IT. CHOOSES In New York State there now is a definite method, a prescribed legal procedure, for determining what is, or rather what is not, a glaring head- light. There is no guesswork about it; no opportunity for the local po- liceman or justice of the peace to exs ercise his own peculiar judgment as to what objectionable glare is, for glare is or isn't, legally according to a fixed standard which has recently been an- nounced by the Secretary of State un- der authority conferred upon him by an amendment to the State Highway law. It 'is possible to tell exactly in any given case by means of scientific measuring instrtments whether or not the law is complied with, "For the first time in the history of headlight legislation, nothing is left to individual opinion; and this means that for the first time also car manu- facturers, lens makers, dealers and car owners know, so far as one state at least is concerned, just what require- ments they must meet and how they can positively meet them. "Besides being entitled to congra- tulations upon being the first to stand- ardize headlight requirements scien: tifically, New York may also be cone gratulated upon the manner in which the requirements adopted were work ed out. They are not the result of the usilal legislative methods of pro- cédure, but of the research work and investigation of competent engineers. "The Secretary of State, acting un- der the provisions of the amendment to the highway law, called to his assis. tance representatives of the Society of Automotive Engineers and of the [1lu- minating Engineering Society, who conducted a number of elaborate tests, and finally put their recommen- dations into the form of specifications for standard headlight tests, which were adopted as official, "The progress toward scientific leg- islation and law enforcement indicated in this case is worthy of more than passing notice. When the law mak- ers and administrators seek the help of those who know of what they speak, another ray of optimism is pro. jected into the future" The foregoing editorial from Auto- motive Industries indicates that New York State has succeeded where On- tario has failed. We are told that the only reason that the headlight law in this province is held in abeyance is for want of a definition of glare On- tario can interpolate the requisite de finition in thé anti-glare ordinance now by a mere clerical twist-of-the- wrist There is now on excuse for further procrastination, rificing this chance for additional pro- fit Adjusting Distributor Points. Distributor points must be adjusted with a wrench especially devised for that purpose. It embodies a steel finger, or thickness gauge, to be in- serted between the contact in open position on any of the contacts. In there is no legitimate reason for sac- other words, this steel finger is the exact width of the correct opening be- tween the point and the segment. The only entirely satisfactory me- thod of removing the carbon and soot that periodically clogs up the muffler is to take the device apart. By tap- ping the muffler with a bit of wood or a mallet, much of this soot will be loosened so that the exhaust can later blow it-out. * News and Views o f and for the Farm rs nto, *fPoronto, Sept. 20.--Choice heavy steers, $14 to $15.50; do., butcher, $12.50 to $14.25; do., medium, $11 to $12; do,, commonx$9.50 to $11,- 50; heifers, good to .. $10 to $10.60; butcher co , $16 tod $10.75; do., medium, $8 to $9; bulls, choite hegvy; $9.50 to $10; do., good, $9.26 to - 8; do, lght, $7 to $8; I bclutters, $6 to $7.50; 1 9 1,000 lbs, $10 to $10.50; stockers, 750 to 800 lbs, $2 to $9.60; do, medium, 650 to 700 ibs; $8 to $8.50; do., light, 600 to 650.1bs., $7.50 to $8.25; grass cows, #8 to $8.50; milch cows, $90 to $125; lambs, $17 to $17.25; sheep, light, $13 to $14.50; heavy sheep and bucks, $10 to $13; calves, $14 to $17.50; bogs, fed and watered, $19.- 60; do, f.0.b., $18.75.
