Whenever a car has to be jacked
up and anyone has to crawl undor it
for any purpose, make absoiutely sure
that it is securely suppomed. Rein-
fm-ce the jocks with blockl g (or the
reverse) and use blocking- heavy
anough and with secure enough foot-
ing, so that it citn neither crush or tip
over. If' possible avoid lying under
any low part which could crush one
in case the cur slipped to the floor.
Serious and even fntnl accidents novo

TAMPERING 'WITH THE START-
ERS OF UNATTENDED CARS
Locking ,The Pedal Affords Security
Against This
While modern cars have adequate
means for locking the ignition-switch
and preventing unauthorized starting
of the engine, therein generally nom.
ing to prevmt the starting motor from
being operated and the engines from
being turned over. 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. . ` -

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 '

P. writes! I know that my bat-
tery is getting too much ,charging
current, for l have to put in WMM'
altogether too often and sometimes
the cells become quite léot. I am
told there is it way of a justlng the
generator to furnish less current.
Please explain hiw. Mine is the

Answer? in the generator you

by the third brush method that, is
the generator _Ileld-cdll' is connected
to the third or auxiliary brush at_
one end and to one of tlie_ main
brushes at. the other. Changing tho
position of the third brush on ther

ber of armature coil; increases the

wll have to obtain detailed diroc~
