'One of these is that of prompt and sure starting of the engine. A great aid to a sure Start with heavy fuel is a higher cranking speed, which can be obtained by the installation of a larger and more powerful battery. "There has thus beon created a need for what may be called an oversize battery that it, a .battery containing more plate surface than the battery funnished with the car, yet which can be installed ih the Tegular battery compartment. The proposition is not unlike putting an oversize tire on a standard riim. "Ia a caso of this kind the unusual ly compact "Exide" construction is a real boon to the car own or. It is a well known fact that "Eifide" batter ies, due to their space saving design, contain for size more plate surface and have therefore greater starting ability than batteries of less conpact construc tion. This makes it possible for us to install, in the case of many cars, and for owners who roeed an increased cranking speed, an oversize "Exide" battery that is, a battery containing the same space occupied by the origin al battery of other makes, makes a sure start assured. "While the oversize battery cannot be fitted in all cars, the number in which it can be done is great, and car ownora who ere being Inconvenienced by slow cranking and unreliable en gine starting may find a remedy in an oversize "Eride" battery." .

J for many years Hiaman was a famil iar figure alonz the Los' Angeles 'row.' He was in and out of 4 the big shops, a basket of sandwiches and candies on lib arm, doing a brisk business with mechanics and salesmen alike. Naturally. Hiuuian could not get to all patrons during the noon hour, when or' dinary shop rules call for a cessation of business, so in most cases n eauea when the men were all back at their routine work, and mora or less inter ruption was in order. Manager Bolton was among the vic tims' and when cars promised Chevrolet patrons at a certain hour were not ready he was able to trace the reason to Hin man and his tasty eatables. The Band wich man was told in firm but gentle language that he would have to confine his business activities to suitable hours or stay away from the Chevrolet shops. "I corns in here to look at your cars more than to sell my goods," was Hia man's reply. This looked like 'Camou flage' to the Chevrolet dealer, and he was more than surprised when Hinman came into his office a few days later, laid down a check, and declared he was ready to take delivery of a Chevrolet touring ear. Hinman asserts hia mechanical edu cation is founded on sandwiches. "I visited every shop in town selling my stuff," he says. "I had plenty of time to listen to both mechanics and patrons when they were1 speaking their real minds. 1 kept track, and when I was able to check up I knew definitely just what car gave tho most satisfaction and hee least grist Then I planked down my money and am now off on a year's jaunt with my wife." , Hiiiinan's sandwich vonture has en abled him to make a real tour. In his year's wanderings he and his wife will visit Yoseniite, Yellowstone and Glacier National l'arks, all the big cities of the country, and other points of general in terest. The eastern terminus of the trip will be New York city, and on the return to the coast the Grand Canyon will be among the stops scheduled for the Chevrolet.

All makes All cars AUTO ELECTRIC SEYICE CO R. D. Barton, 148S.Com'lSt. Phone 318 of the city and country of Los Angeles have combined to drive glaring head lights from the rondu ox tjonthern Cali fornia. Police officials in the cities and towns of Northern California are tak ing like action, and before the 1st of June the campaign will be in full swing throughout the entire Pacific Coast. As we pointed out in the editorial in question, the approach of summer will increase night travel between tho cities and the beaches and other resorts to such an extent that unless something is done at once to remova the menace of glaring headlights serious accidents will be a nightly occurrence. Indeed, since the advent of warmer weather the num ber of accidents has been increasing and the police decided to act at once. It has been estimated that not more than SO per cent of the more than 300, 000 cars now being operated on Califor nia's roads have headlights which come under the provisions of the law. The authorities have permitted motor ists to bend down their lamp brackets in order that tho shafts of lights troin the head lamps shall not rise above the 42-inch limit at a point 73 ftvst in front of the car. But a comparatively small proportion of the whole numbwof own ers have even taken' this precaution. The makeshift of bending down the bracket with a heavy wrench, which sonietinwos results in a broken bracket, has the disadvantage of curtailing the amount of light projected in front and to the sides of the car, and thus an unlooked-for element of danger p in jected into night driving. - Many cities and states all over tho country haws conducted stringent tests of the various makes of lenses that are designed to diffuse or break up the pow erful rays of light projected by the re flectors, and It has been proven that the majority of theso devices all of which are quite reasonably priced, are so de signed as to not only do away with the dungerous glare, but at the same time to adequately light the path of the car in order that the driver may discern any obstacle in tho roau mug rcrore ho reaches it. While it is manifestly impossible for tho police to mention any particular make or style of lens as being within tho law, the (experience of the authori ties of other states form a precedent under which it will be safe for the mo torists of California to use any one of tho half dozen or more well-advertised makes of lenses without danger of be iuir arrested for infraction of the law. la the interests of the common wel fare, "Motor West" urges its readers to comilv at once with the law require ing the use of non-glaring headlights on their cars, and thus rcdueo to a mini mum the long lists of accidents which will otherwise feature each morning's news during the coming summer.
