In the great majority of cases the current is taken from service mains, These carry either direct or alternating current, generally the latter, bP 'Only direct current can, be used for charging, and where the service is alternating, the current must be rectified before it can be used A- side from that, the current must be direct or eontinuous, it must also be of the proper voltage... A voltage of 110-115 has become practically standard in electric lighting practice, and with this voltage batteries of 42-44 cells in series can be charged to the best advantage For each cell in series, therefore, there is required | a «charging voltage of at least 265 | volts, The simplest method of recharging a storage battery from direct current lighting mains is by no means o! a grow | tap or charging plug which a rews into a ordinary lamp socket he plug is screwed into the socket and the charging cable is connected directly to the battery which is to be charged. The tap is provided witl(] three gockets into which lamps may be screwed, is connected in parallel and the battery is in series with them all, so that it receives as much current as the three lamps together. As a rule a current tap is arranged for three lamps, and the ' charging rate is limited by this. In making connections, care must be taken that the positive termipal of the battery connects with th¢ posi- tive main, as otherwise the battery weuld become discharged and re- versed, A wrong connection will be shown instantly when the switch is closed by the lamps lighting up more brightly than normally, while they burn more dimly than normally if the connections are correctly made, It is however, preferable to deter- mine the popularity of the charging mains in advance. This can be done by inserting the two wires to be con- nected to the battery into a glass of slightly acidulated water and turn- ing on the current. .Gas bubbles will then be observed forming at both electrodes andr ising to the surface.

The problem of the headlights, at least for the time being, and for those who persist in using head- lignts without dimming or glare- eliminating devices, seems to be best met, according to Chairman O I. Yellott, of the American Automobile Association Legislative Board, by the simple suggestion of the Society of Automobile Engineers that 'no beam of reflected light shall rise above 42 inches at a distance of 75 feet." This decision is the outcome of much study and experiments during the last year and adheres closely to the short distance apart, and then turn-| A blue spot will | The next step is to examine the points are not| a way as to divert] round, says-Mr. Yel-| es { brackets in such the rays to-th { lott, and contin | "In compil uni- g an up-to-date 4 | form motor vehicle and traffic law | | which is about ready for circulation,| ithe A.

"The Society of Automobile En- gineers has what is known as its Committee on Standards, and a divi- sion of the committee is now work- ing on the details of headlights, re- flectors, and bulbs, with the object of establishing standards which shall make it easier for manufacturers to supply headlights in the future that will give adequate illumination and at the same time comply with the provision preventing the beam of re-, flected light rising above 42 inches at 75 feet distance." le, | € | except 2 1!
