Is) V td l l ft Lt) This oil gets into the brush and contacts, either insulating them from each \other'and causing missing or causing arching. Arching in turn burns the oil and forms soot which soon gums things up badly and also pro- duces heat, which disintegrates the carbon brush and causes it eventually to crumble. “In the Sinai country it is very sandy and it is Quite a common sight to see a Ford running along with two rolls at wire netting secured to the toot boards. When the car gets to a place where the sand is impassable, the-driver unrolls the, netting over the roadway and thus an easily pas- Sable wire road is constructed; in fact in some parts of the country permam ent .wi-re roads have been made and over these the car runs along easily and smoothly, at thirty miles an hour." Excessive oiling of a magneto caus- es the surplus oil to be thrown into the distributor and works much mis- chief. . Some have a centiY revolving brush and stationary contacts in the cover and others a revolving contact and individual stationary contacts in the cover. The brushes in either case areattached to small springs and n'iay be slipped into or out of their sockets by hand. Absolute cleanliness is im- portant in both forms. _ Mr. Massey also stated that the Ford played no small part in help- ing to "deliver the Holy Land and Syria from the Turks" and that his old "1080 Ford was the most wonderful car in the war." So highly does he regard the merits of the Ford tar that he asked permission to address the men of the Ford factory, who make Ford cars, to tell them his ex- periences and thank them for their good work in building sdeh reliable motor cars. This wish was certainly granted. ‘Magneto manufacturers make their distributors so that they may be re- moved easily and wiped with a dry, clean cloth. Some magnetos, toyin- stance, have their distributors held on by three little clips retained by three thumb .nuts. These may be loosened by hand. Others have three screws or simple spring clips to retain the cover. . _ MUCH OIL IN MAGNErro . \VILL CAUSE MISCHIEF As a result of the war England is overstocked 0n heavy trucks, but there is a shortage of one and one- half ton trucks. When telling of his experiences; he says that he "used a Ford in many a journey trom Beersheba to Jerusalem and ,to Nazareth, Damascus and Aleppb," and that "in Allenby’s final push, this trusty car took me more than 4,000 miles in six weeks, and I believe Within one year it travelled bver 30,000 miles in a country where roads are few, and the worst in the world." _ , AV. T. Massey, noted British Journa- list, now recording the Prince of Wales' tour through Canada and the United States, for the London Daily Telegraph, of London, was official war correspondent with the English Army, under General Allenby. which wrested the Holy Land and Syria from thet Turks. T After a. car has been in service for some time there is a tendency of the Spring leaves to fit somewhat tighter together, owing to the smooth sur- tapes that have been produced. This makes the spring d little more com- pact bi a few thousandths ot an inch, but this is enough to loose the springs clip. These latter parts should 'fifi"tt'r' tore be drawn tight after a thousand miles or so of travel in the new car. Emergency Cable Repair In cases of emergency it is possible to 'iittaxut a cable to the battery' by stripping back the insulation for two or tttree' inches, prying apart the strands and then placing a washer on each side ot the cable, after which the nut is scfewed down, holding the cable firmly in place. 's _ i _ Oversize Tire Mileage The custom of using oversize tires is becoming popular, and it may be well to, remind car owners making this change that these larger sizes one inch bigger in wheel diameter and three inches in wheel circumference, make a, difference in speedometer registra- tion. The' recording instrument will turn up Ifewer miles with the larger tires tha with standard sizes. A thir- ty-in'ch tire will drop a mile in every thirty travelled, or in other words. Will_record Only twenty-nine miles in- stead of thirty actually travelled. To Loosen Valve Caps Occasionally a valve cap will stick and refuse. to yield to ordinary efforts. In these circumstances run the engine tor a few minutes until the cap is heated and then pour a little water in the recess of‘the crap. This causes a sudden contraction, which allows the cap to be unscnewed.

It easily delivers its full rating. Then, too, it has that necessary reserve power for emergen- cies. At the last National Power Farming Demonstration the New Hart-Parr delivered over 31 h.p. at 732 revolutions of the crank shaft per minute. Such public tests prove that the New Hart-parries not have to be over-seeded-hence not over-heated-to develop its full rating. . The "Ford Educational Mreolily and Monthly Films" put out by the Ford Motor Company have earned for that Company the largest circulation of motion pictuyes in the world." Ford films are run in 5.5208 theatres in the United States and Canada each week. They are also distributed throughout Europe, Asia, South America; Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India, New- foundland, Dutch East Indies and many other islands. The Ford pictures are viewed by more than ten millions of people in motion picture theatres each week. But they are also in demand outside of the theatre. Churches, colleges, the Y.M.C.A., public and private schools and Even many ot the coun- try's largest penal institutions find Ford Films particularly valuable be- cause of their high moral and educa- tional value. _ Besides being susceptible to control by wireless waves, the electrical steer- ing machinery may also be actuated by the beams of a Searchlight Acting on selenium cells. Selenium has the property ot controlling propelling 11m- chinery by means of light, as demon- strated by a device known as an “elec- tric dog." This itra box mounted on th.ree wheels, containing a motor op- erated by a storage battery, with any other motor which actuates the stem: ing wheel.. At one end of the box are two bull's eyes of glass, with "awpart'I- tion projecting between them so that liéht shining into one of the eyes does not reach the other. Behind each bull's-eye. is a screen of selenium. When a light shines into the right eye the steering; .wheel is turned so that the "dog" tuttns to the right, and vice versa. This curious contrivance will litrllow the light of a lantern at night, training along behind the person car- rying the light and turning corners as though it were alive.

Of this amount $252,500 will be 'expended on county and county- Provincial roads and machinery, and the balance on roads in different towns and villages. The village ot Exeter, in Huron County, will build 1 3-8 miles of con- crete road this year at an expenditure of $32,000. weninerton County Council will pur- chase a stone-crusher and feeder for road work this year and to build four bridges. The Suburban; Area, Road Commission will spend about $18,000 on roads near the city.

Without a dissenting voice the By-law was carried unanimously. . It was suggested by the. sharehold- ers to the Board of Directors, that in the new issue of stock contemplated, that only the present shareholders should be given the privilege of sub, scribing‘ for the new issue of stock for a, limited time, and that if any imsold balance should remain, it be offered to the public at ti, premium. On this understanding, a number of share.. holdersput in their applications for the new issue of stock, immediately after the meeting. a With a modern plant equipped with the latest rubber maehiner.v, tree from encumberance, with no mortgage, bonds, or debentures; over' halt a mil- lion dollars' worth of orders on file, with business being constantly orrcr- ed; raw materials already purchased for the year's need, it would appear thabthe Company should have a very prosperous new year in 1920.
