With some of the most serious grade crossing accidents occurring on side lines where rail trafiic is so light as to lead the motorist to im- agine that trains run about once a week, it has been suggested by many that it might be well for local motor- ists to know train Schedules as a further help in striving for safety. In majority of instances, however, it 's feared that knowledge of train schedules might have the very appo- site resulis, Facts prove that any driver is safer whea he figures that it's always train time. go > Getting Out of a Mud Hole, When trying to get a car out of a mud hole, put the engine 'in low, go slow, and drive straight ahead with- out turning the steering wheel. If the wheels start spinning, put on the emergency brake just enough to stop the spin. That will frequently en- able them to take hold. If it is pos- sible, put any old rope, board, bush- es, sacks of even a quantity of paper, under the wheels to help give frie- tion. It is also advised to apply chains before tackling wet or muddy roads.

In the headlight regulations of the Motor Vehicle Act of the Province, it is stated that "Headlights must be 80 arranged as not to dazzle or blind the driver of another vehicle com- ing in the opposite direction." . Every motorist, it was stated at the offices of the Royal Automobile Club of Canada today, is well aware of the annoyances and dangers caus- ed by glaring headlights, and the club in order to assist in remedying the headlight evils has arranged for the convenience of the members for a free inspection service at the Roy- al garage, where a testing chart pre- pared by the Bureau of Statistics has been installed for the purpose of lin- ing up the light rays. Similar regul- ations are also strictly enforced in the bordering states and it is also a requirement of the Motor Vehicle Acts of such states that no head- lights shall contain an electric bulb in excess of 21 candle-power. Frees Window Regdators, Winter is the season of the year | when the window regulators of the closed car - are inclined to stick. Frequently they will be so stiff that one experiences the sensation that the regular-handle will break off un- less something is done to remedy the situation. The remedy, however, is a little graphite dropped on the working gears through the window sill opening when the window is fully lowered. Lubricant can be ad- ded also through the regulator shaft after the handle and the cap are re- moved. A mistake, however, is to look: for immediate results. The regulator will coatinue to work hard until the graphite has worked in. To Detect Defective Battery. Moisture around-the top of a bat- tery and the battery container indi- cates a crack in the insulation or wax that seals the top of the jars that contain a¢id. Tt should be at tended to at once, as the acid shills out and is replaced with distilled water, which lowers the specific gra- #ity of the battery liquid and lessens its power, Indicators----Warning Signals. Watch the ammeter and oil gauge for any variation, as they are indi- cators to give warning if anything is wrong with the lubrication or igni- tion systéms or the generator. If the oil gauge shows a decrease in pres- sure or the ammeter stands at zero or dischargés when the engine is funning,, have the car attended to immediately. To Correct Faulty Valve, Valve trouble is often traced to back pressure from the muffler. In case of back pressure remove the muffler and clean the soot and ecar- bon from the plates or tubes or re-| move one of them. This, will give more power to the engine. A slight difference will be noticed in the noise from the exhaust. i Helps to Prevent Skidding. There will be less danger of skid- ding, even If chains are used, with lower inflated tires. The flatter the tire the more of its tread will come in ogntact with the road surface, and the better will be the traction. Re- membér this Some day when a cold rain begins freezing on the streats.
