��Mayor Kline, of New York City, has approved an ordinance passed by the Board of Aldermen amending the rules of the road, as they apply to horse-drawn and motor vehicles. The amended or- dinance reads as follows:

"458. Lights — Each and every vehi- cle using the public streets or highways of this city, except vehicles of licensed truckmen, shall show between sunset and sunrise a light or lights so placed as to be seen from front and each side; if dash lantern is carried, it shall be placed in the left hand side; such light or lights to be of sufficient illuminating power to be visible at a distance of 20 feet; said light or lights shall show white in front, but may be colored on the sides, except- ing licensed truckmen. Every automo- bile shall exhibit during the same period two lamps showing white lights visible at a distance of 300 feet in the direction toward which the automobile is proceed- ing, and shall also exhibit a red light, visible in the reverse direction. The lamps shall be so placed as to be free from obstruction to light from other parts of said automobile. No operator of any automobile or other motor vehicle, while operating the same upon the public high- way within the city shall use any acety- lene, electric or other headlight unless properly shaded, so as not to blind or dazzle other users of the highway, or make it difficult or unsafe for them to ride, drive or walk thereon. In the Bor- ough of the Bronx, excepting south of Tremont avenue and 177th street, east of Jerome avenue and west of the Bronx River, and in the Boroughs of Richmond and Queens, and in the Twenty-sixth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first and Thirty-second wards of the Borough of Brooklyn, every car or other vehicle between said hours, while moving on along or standing upon the portion of streets in said burroughs or parts of boroughs, shall carry a light or lights of such illuminating power as to

��be plainly visible 200 feet both ahead and behind said car or vehicle." '8 '5 (5

One source of insufficient lubrica- tion of bearings is sometimes found to be clogged grooves in the bushings. Sedi- ment will accumulate in the grooves, which are intended to carry the lubricat- ing oil, and shut off the supply. An ex- cess of graphite will often produce this effect.

Non-reversible steering gears usu- ally have a certain amount of back lash to allow the wheels to follow ruts without side resistance on the tires.

��A device for pulling motor cars onto solid ground when their rear wheels have sunk into mud holes or deep mud, and the car cannot be moved by its own power, is now out. In using the appliance, one end of it is attached to the front of the rear wheel, and when the motor is started, the device, which somewhat resembles a large razor strop, is dragged under the wheel. The loose end of the appliance is then carried forward, and fastened to a stake in the ground. Upon starting the motor a second time, the car is quickly drawn out of the mud and onto solid ground.

��"This top looked shabby and leaked like a sieve— $50 was the price of a new one, but my neighbor told me how, a year ago, he made his top clean and waterproof as new— for ONLY a $5 bill. Now you see
