Tin ainiiMdi'r, the ha:;t unde r
stood tlinl on the liiHtrunient hoard
of i motor ear, in In many ways
thf mofst impoi-iunt.
l-'ew automobile owm-m, how
ev r, understand the Ntory the am
nieter eiK us the iiiih a fly by. The
ammeter hi the guardian of th
whole electrical tyfttejii of Die car,
particularly during extrei.tf of win
ter cold anil unnimer heat, and i.i
connected to every hit ut electrical
apparatus with th aole cxcepiion
oi tii" Ktr.runK motor.
If you ftet eiiua(nted vlt h thf

whether or 'Hot the wlioh- Hymeni
is f unctioniiiK properly, I' will
leli you If oni' of the hc.idlitfhiH Ik
out; it will tell you If there in a
short circuit in the line; it win
wurn you in n moment it the gene
rator fails to lur.ction. Ati undfr
sf mi ding Kiance at the a m meter
every L'O milea or ao is a trouble
.saver of ureal importance.
When the motor la started, and
everythliiK i working properly, the
little iunnl in (Acs ov'-r to a certain
spot on the chartfinK Hide .and
I here it Invariably n ts varyifiK
in loi atioil w it h the weed of tiic
ear until aouiethinK goes wrong in
the electrical system. .If one of (hi
heudliKhtH fsoes out the annuel er

f harj.-iiiK rate; if the pi-inraior
rutin to function for any rtaon, the
hand HwiiiKs awiiy over to the dis
charKfe side and the driver hnows
that tin- whole load Is belny, cur
ried by the buttery.
The ammeter never shows the
full flow of cleetrieUy from the
K'-ni-ralor, hut It dots Indicate the
amount of electricity that is flow
In k into or out of t he battery,
hence the importance of the tell
tnlo current Indicator and lis abil
ity lo tell what Is tfoitiK on all
It I oh K I he line.
The layman mlht usk why it is
Important lo know the exact min
ute wtf-n .Die generator ceases to
function iin long as the car will
keep on running with the current
Iroin the battery. One important
reason Is that If the ;enerntor fulln
due to broken leads in or outside,
it Hhould be given immediate at
tention or it will burn out and en
tail considerable expense for re
pairs. If he at knew thai a fully
charged battery would turn his en
gine over lor 1 li minutes in Hum.
mT but for only ft minutes or leas
when the temperature wp tit zero,
the ammeter tip might aleo induce i
him to cimiiU the car by hand and j
thus conserve t he energy of tin
battery. The, K'tU'rator Is the whole
Mouree of supply of electricity and
il keeps the entire system In oper
ation but it rennlres little, If any I
attention, from the driver. It is!
important to know thai the dec-
trlcal output of the generator niayj
be varied on Chevrolet . cars by!
what. Is known as third brush ad- j
Juatmnt, for the cur con:ttinii
more electricity In cdld weather 1
than it does in warm and the gen-!
orator should be adjusted accord-1
ingly by one who 1b experienced in:
doing this kind of work.
It Is easy to know when gene-;
ru to- inljuatnunt Is refjulrcd, lor
the Mtb ry will tell yon ail about
It. tlive your battery a hydrometer
tent every two weeks. If you find
the battery fully charged and re-;
quiring only a little distilled water i
everything is all right. If nt the
end of sueci-Rflive two week's pe-1
riod you find the Iwttery persis
tently out of water, it is an indi
cation that the generator Is 8up-:
plying too much electricity and If
allowed to continue will result in
serious damage to the battery. If.
on the, other hand, yod find the
buttery persistently undercharged
the generator tdiould be ad matt d
to mipply more current.
It la Important tor t:io driver to
follow tnst ructions carefully when
adjusting the gup on his spark
plugs. A high voltage is reiidred
to make the spark jump the gap
and the wider the gap the higher
the voltage. However, If the gap
ka whb ned the voltage is automati
cally Inereiiried. and If it goes high
enough will eau.s. a failure In the
ignition coil and will re. mire a new
unit which is rather ej.pensive.
Many drivers, and not a few me
chanics, have found that an engine
vhieh will not run properly w hen
Idling, dm to leaky valves or some
other cause, will run fine If the
spark gap is widened, but they are
merely relieving th" difficulty for
a time at the expense of the elec
trical system, instead of finding
the real cause ,f the trouble and
corieetlug It at the mjurce.

Ease of Driving Built
Into Lincoln Cars Con
tributes to Comfort of
Women Motorists.
The ease with which Die big.
powerful Lincoln curs are handled;
by the drivers has never failed tol
surprise motorists used to assockit-l
ing difficult operation with ihe j
larger and heavier machincB,
That this driving convenience in
the Lincoln cars has ioved espe-i
rkilly popular with the feminine
motorist Is evinced by the increas
ing number of women daily at the!
wheel of their Llneoms. !
An Indication of the ease with
which women ran drive Lincoln
and thn skill which they acquire in
operating the machines waa given
in ft driving contest held recently
at Sioux City, Iowa, according to
word received hern by V. C JVr
klns, local Lincoln dealer.
In this conbst the principal test.!
was to driv. through a row of bur-1
re I s and feet long wlihout knock-!
ing down any of Die barrels. The!
two tir;it places in the vent were!
taken by two women, both driving'
Lincohifi. !
Mrs. Arthur S. Hanford, Jr., won
first with the time of 1 :l seconds
and Miss Marie ltiidelit'fe won bcc
ond In the fast time of 1U.6 sti.--"
onds.
About f-'i drivers entered the eon-
test with various makes of cam
and' of the total number entered
only IS cars Including the two I.in
eolna qualified for Die finals.
Jn the first testa the cars were
driven between the two rows of
imrrela with a six Inch clearance
on each side. Willi this much
clearance Die drivers were aide to
whizz through the two rows with
out knocking down any of the bar
rels.
After the preliminary trials with
the barrels at a six inch clearance
the lane was narrowed until there
was hut three Inches margin be
yond the width of the cars.
In the finals of the contest In
which six rats were entered the
fastest time was made by Mrs. Han
ford. She was awarded a silver
loving cup for being the most skill
ful driver.
Mrs. llandford is free to at
tribute her victory to the Lincoln

Manubielnring cost is the only true
basis upon which to establish the:
retail selling price of a car ami the
profit is rm niy a percentage above
the cost of the product.
The at mhI y policy of Ihe liuick
eompanv has kept the price of the
car relatively low, according to
Mr. Shumate who dds that t he
elimination of the duplication of
effort saves a large amount of
valuable time which is in turn
handed to the car buyer in the
idiape of a r.iih.siantial saving.
This policy of conservatism . in
design and inanufaciure is evident
in the iar themselves, liuick fea
tures such as four wheel brakes,
eompb le automatic luhr.ration, the,
Huiek valve-in-head mo: or and Die
Hoick torque drive- are all indic
ative of Die tluiek character which
gives It &. stability in value and a
repot a' ion for consistently high

The fin irk features have been
built along' such eonp.truciive lines
that they are produced with the
greatest possible efficiency and
consequent ly 1 he quality of the

BUSINESS
if
we may be allowed to speak, we de
sire to state that we hold these truths
to be self-evident -
that honesty' is not only the best, but the most profitable policy.
that a business succeeds only as it serves.
that no business can loop; exist unless it peri'onnr, some service either better
or more cheaply than any other agi'iit.
that retaining- the business of an old customer is more important-(hat (ret
ting the business of a new customer.
that courtesty pays dividends regularly ami promptly.
that a business which is operating without knowledge of its cosls is riding
to ruin.
that the best salesman a business can have is ifs customers,
that the greatest asset of a man or a business is the reputation for fair dealing
that the good will of the employed is just as desirable, as the good will of
the trade.
that all the advei-tising in the world will not create a permanent demand for an
inferior product.
that success in business is more often won by men who are steady, conscien
tious plugpers than by brilliant on-ngain-off-Mgain lioys.
that common sense is the rarest commodity on the market.
that all of us know more than any or us; therefore, let us not fight our com
petitors but rather co-ojerale with t'lem.
that the prizes in this world go to those who are orderly, industrious, fair and
temperate.
