Spencer, Nebr. 31 WALTER P. CHRYSLER'S Itraffic talks LIGHTS AND WIRING To insure perfect electrical oper ation in a motor car, a regular electric inspection should never be neglected. Safe driving at night re quires good lights which will neither menace to the oncoming car nor in adequate for the driver. Attention «to bulbs and wiring will also help to prevent losing one light. Many night time accidents have been di fectly traceable to the fact that a one-eyed auto, w'th the good light on the outside, has been mistaken for a motorcycle. In almost every case recorded the blind side met the smash. • In some localities from time to time regular drives have been made on one-eyed cars but a far better plan is the constant reprimanding of the operator of any car so dis abled. The cause of the damage is usually very slight and can be ; vdj jsted at almost any wayside sta tion. If the bulb itself is not broken, one of the connections may be loose, the matter of just a few seconds work by even the most amateur of electricians. Lights for illumining the dash board should be replaced immedi ately if the tiny filaments in the bulbs become broken. The dash board is of paramount importance and the careful driver checks con stantly when driving to sec that all dials are registering correctly. Oil gauge dials are particularly impor tant for it takes little running on low oil, or no oil, to ruin a motor. A check on all terminals should be made along with regular car in spection, as the use of the car war rants, but at regular intervals. j No wires should be allowed to hang loose at any time and all minor accidents should receive prompt at-., tenlion, ZANADU CLEANSING (OLD ( REAM For the Flawless Complexion of Youth.
