Thus the electrical- ly equlppedccar is at the mercy of the ever persent small boy, and the curi~ ous or mischievous meddler, to the extent not only oi' having its battery exhausted but of having its starter drive mechzinlsm badly damaged. Milly Strange cases of run down ba. teries and of broken flywheel gears are doubtless explicable on the theory that the starter was carelessly or inaliclously operated by unauthorized persons, when the cars were left un- attended in lonely places. As a mat- ter of fact, many cars under favorable conditions can be moved considerabn distances by means of the energy in a well charged battery. Locking llie starting motor by interrupting its electric circuit is hardly practical as it involves the installation of a. switch necessarily of the rubber cuml:ersome character, because of the very large current it would have to handle. Some mechanical locking device to _prevent 'the operation ot' the pedal or other starts-i' control devlcc is the most practical safety device and the individual owner should be able to_ work out such an attu.chinei1t,_ pending the adoption hy car rnanufacturers _of some heiter preventative for this abuse. . ` - NON-GLARE LENSES SPOIL lllfsrstisfsasaatsiihlihlr il ._-.:_ `H.

CHANGING FORD IGNITION T. H. asks: Does it improve the operation and economy oi a Ford car to replace the_ignltlon system regularly furnished with it, by it standard magneto or battery system? Answer: It- may improve the en- glne's operation to do eo, for it is not easy to secure perfect accuracy of ignition in all cylinders with the indvidunl coil outfit that is standard equipment on these cars, while a good high-tension magneto or battery lgniter insures this. Well syncliron izcddgnitlon tends toward fuel econ- omy, but we doubt if an improved magneto or battery system wll show much better results as to fuel econ- omy, then the separate coll .system when at its best. It is of course ditillcult, to keep the latter in perfect adjustment and some other form of ignition will the likely tty give you less trouble. The timer regularly supplied upon these cars is in rather an inaccessible and vulnerable posit tion and a substitution will het_ter conditions in this regard. Moreover. lt will leave the flywheel niagneto for lighting purposes only, which may be, an advantage. ADJUSTING GENERATOR ' OHARGING RATE P. writes!
