Special signs have been erected at important forks and doubtful turns. Bach member of the club is given free a road map that is the last word in locating touring objectives. The road signs and map supplement each other and make touring a pleasure, the location of places taking but a passing glance at either map or sign board. '""The Ontario Motor League, with which the local cud is affliated, is the only organisation in the province erecting signs for the benefit of mot- oriets, and they deserve the support of every motorist in this indiapens- able work. A road sign car is kept busy from May to December. Signs which have been put up have to be maintained and new signs have to be erected every year. This work has been carried on steadily by the local club for the past four years, and they welcome any Information to where a sign would give service and will erect same on application being made, 'We eay to non-members just think--If you have been helped and expect to continue to be helped by these signs, why not do your part in helping to maintain and extend this service, by joining the Kingston Automobile Club?" pu ALWAYS KNOW WHERE CRANK I8 New Owner Wastes Time and Money When Engine Stalls.

In his haste to get away he had tos- sed the jack into the tonneau. When he arrived home, after a painful time worrying for fear he would stall his engine again, and have to obtain an- other tow, he reached into the ton- neau for the jack, so that he might put dt back into the tool box. But in the darkness he grasped, not the jack, but the crank handle! It had been lying there in the darkness all evening, and was not in the lock- er as he had assumed. What could be more logical? The starter pedal worked irregularly, evidently, and so the crank handle was kept handy: That explained its presence in the tonneau. Why hadn't he thought of it before? Because he had assumed that the crank was in the rear lock- er. To cap the climax, an amateur me- chanic who liked to do fool things because he never believed in taking things for granted, and knew that logic wasn't worth more than so much when it came to finding auto- mobile trouble, examined the offends ing starter pedal. He pushed it all the way down to the floor, yet it did not close the switch. Nor was there any way to reach it from upderneath without taking, off the mud pan. The owner was right on these points. But he wondered what would happen if he gave the pedal a vigorous pull before he pushed ft. He tried it. It worked. And it turned out that whenever the pedal exhibited this trouble it could be cured by pulling up on it. In an instance of fgnition failure it developed that the breaker points were badly worn.
