II. MY Kit The many electric trouble thut develop from time to time on un uuto mo due In purt to the iKiior iinco und neglect of the owner. It Ih very little trouble which reault from wear und other dlHurruiiKo meut. The cotiHtruction of our prcKont duy liiHlrumentH la hucIi an to give very little trouble with the maximum efficiency. Tho principle upon which they work Ih the principle of Induction. All uppurulUH, like generator, the Htarter und the coIIh ure utilized to apply till principle. Induction I: When un electrical conductor Ih made to move In a magnetic Held, the electricity which I present In the conductor begin to move be cauite there I uch a difference of preuure on the line, and wherever there I u difference of p rem ure one way or another, there 1 action of Homo kind. Ah long bk water Ih perfectly level In a tank the pres sure I tho sumo on all ldc., but If an outlet I provided, the prenure on the opposite ldo of the outlet I greater than at tho outlet and the water flow out of the tank. A soon a the electric motor force overcomes tho Inertia of elec tricity, It begins to flow and we can oither reel It or detect it with in strument made for this purpose. Tho dynamo, which accompanies every well made car ha an arma ture which turns In between a num ber of colli) called the magnetic field 'or Juki plain field. As soon as the machine is brought In motion a current of electricity begins to flow the circuit and registers on the arm ature us churge or amperes. If the armature shows discharge at all time, something Is wrong, cither In the generator or automatic cut out and un expert Khould be consulted. Utiles you know the man knows li Ik bUHlucKH, do not let him tinker with with your electrical apparatus, be cause In some Instances repairmen know less ubout these things than you do. FEEDING TOO MUCH CURRENT Owner Who Use Light and Starter Very Little Should Avoid Over, charging Battery. The man who uses light and starter very llttlu but dees n lot of high-speed touring should seo to It that he Is not feeding too much current to the bat tery. Most lighting systems hnvo no adjustment for this purpose, nnd If so, the car should be taken to the service stallou und tho change made. HANDLE BATTERY WITH CARE Motorist Should Economize on Cur rent and Keep Engine Tuned to Start on Second Turn. The man who has trouble keeping his bnttery chnrged will find thut dif ficulty largely can be overcome by careful handling. In other words, he should economize on current, Ue should keep his engine tuned np so that It starts on the second or third, turn. Thus he can minimize the amount of current used In Blurting, and, remember, this Is very large. The current required Is 200 to 000 time as much ns required by nn ordinary 10-randlo power house light. He should nlso be economical wMb his lights. Ho should use his head lights only when nhsolutely necessary. Me should determine the car speed at which his cutout relay makes con nection with the bnttery nnd operate tho car as much ns possible above this speed, If he drives much In n congested city district and stops his engine ninny times he will llnd that his battery can be kept more nearly charged by chang ing gears In tralllc whenever neces sary liiNtend of Ir.vlni; to On It all on high gear, the reason being that by "hanging gears he boosts Ills engine speed so that his battery Is charged, while If he tried to pull slowly on high ho gets down to n speed nt which cliitri'lnir vtiins Y OU will recognize a Bigger and Better Bend oniy wnen you yourselves help to make it Digger and Better. A home town is made by its home town people. Every article you buy in Bend helps to make Bend a bigger city.
