Frosting Bulbs ' In these days of drastip headlight laws, state and municipal, motorists will naturally be interested in a cheap method of frosting bulbs and lenses, a method of eliminating the glare from lights complying with all statutes of this kind. The. following formula is used for making the frost ing solution and into this the bulb or lens is dipped. To a mixture of 24 ounces of ether and 18 ounces of benzine and two and a quarter ounces of sandarach and one-half ounce of mastic. Any good hug store will furnish the needed ingredi ents. If it is desired to produce col ored light coloring matter may be added to the solution. If the sur face to be frosted is large and flat the solution may be applied with a brush, hut this usually produces a streaked surface. It is best to im merse the object to be coated if pos sible. The uncolored solution pro duces much the same effect as ground glass, but the Trostinjr wears off with service and has to be renewed. Spring Seat Lubrication Many cars are fitted with rear springs mounted on seats which oscillate. These springs usually have some means of lubrication, but few owners take the trouble to turn up the grease cup provided. While it is not necessary to turn the cup each day it is a good plan to pay some attention to this most impor tant part. In cantilever suspensions the center bearing of the spring' should be well oiled. Usually this bearing operates on a small steel shaft extending out from-the frame. In some cases a tube running trans versely of the frame is used If no grease cup is provided an oil hole is used. You Need Wait No Longer for Lower Prices 5 Oilers for Grease Cups v Modern constructional practice is -tending toward the elimination of grease cups and the substitution therefore of oil wells and oil cups, There are many car owners whose vehicles are equipped with grease cups in great profusion who can at -slight expense do away with the trouble due to this equipment. For example, the grease cup is ' gen ierally located at the clutch vf or hW bricating the thrust bearing or . 'throw-out collar. This may be re amoved and a large oil' cup may be substituted. The owner who is me chanically competent . may install a 'large oil reservoir with flexible leads ' running from it to various parts of rthe mechanism requiring lubrication 'which is now' supplied by jjrease cups. Such a. systeni may be -constructed, after the pattern of : a me chanical oiler with a-control for each .lead;; :. ; " . '$,.

Woman Elected Judge to Take Important Post Will Be One of Eight Judges to Administer Civil " and Criminal Law In Cuya hoga County, Ohio. ; . ' Cleveland, Nov. 20. With the election returns counted,"it has been decided that Cuyahoga county will have,, after January 1, a -woman as one of the judges of the court of common nleas. and to the metropo lis of Ohio goes the distinction of having been the first community in the United States to elect a woman to a judicial position of this import ance. :h. tr',"$ . The new judge-r-Judgr. Florence L. Allen,, if you please, -, when the new vear besrinswill be ' one- of eight judges to administer civil and criminal law 4n this county. Whether or not she will be assigned ' special duties is as yet undetermined, but men who have tested her ability in the trial courts and in counsel -, say that she isJas well qualified to ;i perform the . duties that tan to a judge as the-average male citizen chosen for that work. She is now serving as assistant to the county prosecuting: : attorney.1 and it was the record made there that caused her candidacy to 'appeal to men and women alikev ' Endorsed by Demos : Endorsed bv the democratic pri maries as one of the party candi dates, the federation of women's clubs here made her fight their cwn, and worked .' unceasingly to bring about her election. Prominent mem bers of the bar added their endorse ment, and it Svas not surprising that she led the list oi nine candidates at the "Voting November 2, being more than 11,000 votes ahead of the next highest candidate,' and " polling a clear majority of all the votes cast in Cuyahoga county. " ' ' Now that she has been elected, the club women of the county have begun agitation for the establish- ment of a court of domestic rela tions within the common pleas court with Judge Allen as the presiding judge. . Men do not understand these matters," said, a prominent Cleve land club woman in discussing the proposal.' The laws governing do mestic relations have been written and interpreted by men since the be ginning of time. Legislatures, with the growing power of women in industry have given some response to women's demands, but the courts have remained the last refuge of the , male ex the holy of Jiohes into which a woman -could not enter. "Now that we have a woman on the bench she should be assigned to try the matters in which women haye an especial interest. I believe that under this plan we will have more happy homes, less divorces and a more intelligent application of the laws that most vitally affect the lives and happiness of people. "A woman judge will not b con cerned with precedent so much as with right."
