Phone 2337F. Auto Tops Recovered PRICES RIGHT IG corporations operating fleets of cars and trucks know to the fraction of a cent what the up-keep of a car costs them per mile. Over and over again their figures prove that Hasslers' actually cost their owners nothing--saving gasoline, repairs and tire mile- age. Automobile springs are as good as engineering skill can make them, but the better the spring the more resilient it is. Hasslers' control both the upthrow and rebound, so you can run along with even gaso- line feed over rough roads on high gear. It costs more fuel to stop and start any car than it does to run along at even speed. You will make every gallon of gas go farther, saving fuel expense -- if you have Hass- lers'. Alone the saving of gaso- line will pay for your Hass- lers'; you save on repairs and tires besides. Your dealer knows these Hassler facts.

This work of the league is saving you the dol- | lars you would otherwise pay if license exchange were not in effect A few years back every city, town and village in Ontario had a differ- ent speed limit, some six miles per hour, some eight miles pér hour, and so on. This resulted in many motorists, strangers to, and, fore, unfamiliar with the speed lim- it of the municipalities through which they were passing, being fined | for speeding. To correot this con- | dition the O.M.L. requested the gov- | ernment to pass a law that would make the speed limit the same in ev- ery municipality of the This law was passed and in every city, town and village of the pro- vince of Ontario the speed limit is now twenty miles per hour. Last year and this year a pro- | posal was brought forward in the | Ontario legislature to place a tax of | two cents a gallon on gasoline. The | O.M.L. strenuously opposed this | proposed tax and was successful in there- | province. | | { | | These bemefits | not for that other man there would | be no league) may be your next door | neighbor or the man across the street, he is the Ontario Motor | League.

AESY LUBRICATION i AUTOMOTIVE'S AIM | Motor. | | | Oil Gun For Chassis and] Force Spray For Car's In order to insure that the aver-| age automobile owner will lubricate | his car properly, automotive engi-| neers have undertaken the task of | making this job as brief and easy | | as possible. Owners are. notoriously:| {lax in caring for mechanical | part | of their cars, and for this reason | many of the newer models are pro-| vided with an oil gun, having a pres- sure up to 600 pounds, with only! one hand required to operate it even | at high pressure. The oil gun ls] for the proper care of the chassis. | Oil, not grease, is used. i The motor is lubricated by force! and spray, a system acknowledged | to be most efficient. The oil pump | has capacity to circulate a gallon of | oil every forty-six seconds at fifteen | miles an hour. This insures a com- | plete oil bath for ail working parts under any operating conditions. Test the Brakes | When the car has been washed, | | having it shelved.

The question naturally arises of | providing funds for the construction | of the system of highways now laid | out by the government. To meet | this question the league proposed the "capitalization' of license fees The plan is that $2,000,000 of the revenues derived from motor ve- hicle licenses annually (last year the revenue was $3,500,000 and this year will exceed,-in all probability, $4,000,000, and will continue to in- crease from year to year), be set aside to meet interest charges ana take care of the sinking fund on a twenty-year good roads serial bond issue. This would provide a fund of $25,000,000 with which to complete | the provincial highway system. above the $2,000,000 reguirel each constantly increasing, which would more than take care of maintenance. It may be pointed out that two- thirds of contemplated expenditure will be for permanent work such as bridges, culverts, grading, drainage, cuts, fills, grade reductions, etc. This proposal was accepted and pass- ed at the last session of the provin- cial legislature. If it had not been adapted it is probable that there would have been a large increase in motor license fees. A bill is now before the house to revise the Motor Vehicles Act, sev- eral sections of which the league is opposing as not being to the best interests of the motorist. The league is certainly on guard to protect the interests of the motorist. The A balance would be left (over and! year) of more than $2,000,000, and; amount that has [kerosene do not remain on the brake you through the linings. having this tax ing the garage with the brakes walf | Test the brakes upon leav- on so as to dry off the linings. Before driving in the rain be sure that both brakes are adjusted alike. A trial test on the garage drive will tell. It means mimmizing skidding to drive back again and adjust the brakes to match. Don't adjust the brakes from the forward turn-buckle., 'This is used mainly to adjust the position of the pedal. If this turn-buckle is drawn up too far the leverage action of the brake assembly is lessened, and the brakes are much less efficient. Don't think you are clever if you adjust the brake bands so tight that the car literally stands on its hind 'wheels. The brakes may be wonder- fully efficient for a while, but exces- sive friction will wear them out rap- idly. Perhaps a month later when you need them most they will be useless. : The New Car. A wise motorist, when breaking in a new car, will not oaly drive less than twenty-five miles an hour, but will make a careful 'mspection of every working part, paying particu- lar attention to the oiling system, the amount of water in the radiator and the adjustment of the brakes.

The injury is not always fatal, of course, but very often it results in the loss of a | leg or arm or in somd® physical dis. figurément the child must bear through all its life. The grief of the parents is hearthreaking and is shared by friends and neighbors Every one loves children and every one suffers when a child meets an injury. What is the answer? How may we prevent street accidents? As citizens, wa must do all that we can to assist in the enforcement of laws governing traffic, and, as parents, we must see that our children are taught habits of safety. One care- ful parent will do much to encourage an entire neighborhood to observe the a,' b, ¢"s of Safety First. & hat shall we say when the in- jured person is a man or woman | The injury may be equally serious and 1s always shocking and distress- | ing, but we have less patience than | in the case of a child. To prevent these accidents we must rely on tha enforcement of traffic rules and we must see to it that not only do we obey them ourselves, but that we en- courage others to acquire the Safety habit. Here is a standard rule: 'Look fo the left when you start across a strget; when you reach the centre, look to the right; when you are in a critical pcsition use your common sense and do not lose con- trol of yourself." If the danger is from an auto, stand stjl] and do not confuse the driver by dodging. Nev- er pass behind a street car, auto or wagon without looking to see whe- ther another car or auto is approach- ing from the other direction. 'Keep your head," is a mighty good rule There are many unnecessary street accidents. Some of them are caused by slipping and tripping; be- ing struck by prejecting ladders, poles, etc., from wagons as they turn corners; material or articles drop ping from above. You can easily picture a dozen which you know have caused an injury to yourself or to a member of your family or friend.

Read the automobile laws care- | fully for the district in which you | are driving and obey them. { . 2. Never travel at a high rate of {speed over a road with which you | are not familiar. 1 3. Never drive, 4t any time, on the | wrong side of the highway 4. Heed the warning signs. { 5. Never pass, or attempt to pass, [a car going in the same direction at the crest of a hill or on a curve. 6. Never stop a car just over the brow of a hill or just around a curve. 7. Never follow a car travelling {at a high rate of speed at less dis- | tance than fifty yards. | 8. If you wish to pass another car | going in your direction, choose a long straight stretch of road. 9. When you are travelling at a chosen rate of speed, do not "speed up" because someone attempts to pass you. 10. Make careful and frequent in- spections and tests of your brakes. 11. Never use bulbs of higher can- dlepower than those prescribed by law for your lenses, 12. Inspect your tall-light fre- quently. This light marks the posi- tion of your car for the following driver, who may be facing lights ot an oncoming automobile. 13. Remember that the taking of a human life by an otherwise law- ful act, done in an unlawful manner is manslaughter, a crime punish- able by imprisonment. 14. Remember that every time you "take a chance' you are gambling-- with the lives of other people as the "stakes." 15. "Safety First, ways." These rules, if observed, would re duce the accidents on our highways ninety-five per cent. (Courtesy, Major Lynn G. Adams.) Ontario Safety League, 189 'Church St., Toronto.
