HELPFUL HINTS.
At any time that a single cell of a
storage battery is sulphated, or if the
gravity of the solution is very much
below that of the other cells, it should
be cut out and given a slow charge in-
dividuullyuntll it is brought to the
same condition as the others.
Most self-starting systems have a
fuse box installed at an accessible
point. The purchaser of a new car
should acquaint himself with this as
quickly as possible. Very often con-
siderable trouble can be eliminated. by
‘ replacing a burned out fuse with a
new one This is a simple matter, but
if not known may cause a lot of trou-
ble and unnecessary ex'penrl‘e.
Where dry cells are used for start-
ing purposes; extreme care should be
exercised to keep them in a dry
place. Even though the cells may be
new any dampness will cause them to
short- circuit; and when this takes
place you will hav’e hard work start-
ing the engine on the magneto.
Most modern cars are equipped with
demounted rims and carry the tires in-
flated on these rims at the rear of the
car. This necessitates heavy suspen~
sion brackets. Care should be taken
that these tires are securely strapped
' to the irons. Each mounted tire weighs

WESTPORT 1111‘ 33—No more auto-
ists will be arrested to this town for
such a trivial choose as not having
tail lights at night. unless it is proved
that the acts are intentional. Constable
Frank E. Sturges,‘ who has been 11.1%
resting motorists during the last week
has been requested by First Selectman
Austin Wakeman to discontinue the
practtco. A rumor was about town to-
day that the authorities had been so
requested by the state, but this was
denied by Mr. Wakeman. when he sale
-that he believed it unjust to make ar—
rests, when many lights are jarred out
just before arrests are made by the
constable.
One of these cases came to light
several evenings ago when a New Ha
van man was arrested for not having
a tail light at night. tile claimed that
the light had been jarred out upon
the old State street bridge. He offer-
ed to secure witnesses to prove that
the light had been showing on the
ISaugatuck hill. Two were secured and
the autolst was released. The arrests
of auteists for such small uninteniounl
offenses became known over a grofi'
part of the state, and many avoided
the bridge where it was known a con-
stable was stationed.
Eleven motorists will be given a
hearing today in the oflloe of Prosecut-
or Harry R. Sherwood before Judge 8.
A. Purdy. All were arrested Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday nights.
MUST canny MARKERS.
Secretary of State's Order Affects All
Motorcycles.
Secretary of State Charles D.
Burnes has issued orders to keep out
of333Connecticint all motor vehicles not
bearing number plates.‘ Motorcycles
are the only motor driven vehicles
that come under this ban, as in a
number of states the automobile lawe
do not require markers on motorcy-
cyles. New York, which is one of
these states. will be greatly affected
by the new orders, as many motor-
cyclists from over the state line have
been traveling through Connecticut
of late. Y‘”
A large number of accidents in
which , foreign motorcyclists figured
have occurred in this state and in
many instances the authorities have
not been able to trace the owners of
the machines as they did not bear
registration numbers. Attorney Gen-
eral Hlnman gave his opinion that the
old law which required all motor
vehicles to bear proper markers
should be rigidly enforced.
BONNETS A PROBLEM.
Hatters Await Decree of the Arbitera
of styles.
The prospects for the "bonnet" trade
in the hat manufacturing industry are
still very uncertain, and manufactur-
ers, wholesale dealers and retailers of
women‘s fashions are wondering what
the decree of the arbiters of women's
fashions in headwear for next fall and
winter will be.
Last year there was little or no
“bonnet” trade in local factories be-
cause wemen were velvet hats almost
exclusively. As surely as the hours
pass. changing styles will bHug felt
hats back into vogue and the "bonnet"
factories will be rushed with work.
Whether the change will come this
season or next is what particularly in-
terests everybody connected with the
trade. In the metropolitan trade oeu
tors little more appears to behnown
about the styles than anywhere else.
Wholesalers are hesitating to pihce
orders eitherrfor velvet or felt hats bil-
catlse they are uncertain which will
have the lead in popular favor.
A few, but very few orders have
been received by local "bonnet” manu-
facturers thus far. 1f felthats are to
he in favor orders should begin to
reach the factories in volume within a
few weeks.

STAMFORD
A warm-air furnace is not a
winter resort in the South. Such
a resort appeals to us largely be-
cause it enables us to live com-
fortablyin the open air in winter.
The importance of the furnace is
that it brings into the house and'
tempers the air from out of doors.
In other words, a warm-air fur-
nace heats and ventilate: the
house properly and efiectively,so
that we always breathe whole-
some air of the right temperature.
You will or reciate this more
fully after you look into the
merits of Stamford furnaces.

According to Harry B. Sherwood,

against him was continued until next
Saturday.
For three nights last week, Con-

upon Wednesday evening the arrests
were suddenly halted. Rumor had it
that the arrests were stopped at the

of the town said that he had requested
Officer Sturges to discontinue the prac-

Westport in the meanwhile had ob-

avoided the town as much as possible

son started by he observed the front
crest of the slight incline a short dist-
ance ahead. The marks on the turn-
pike showsd that Robinson locked his
wheels. but the speed was such as to
cause the car to slide along for sixty
feet. It crashed into the Apperson and
did not come to a stop until about tif-
teen feet the other side of it.
The terrific force of the collision is
shown by the fact that the left end of
the front axle of Kirkham’s machine
was heat almost inn under the angina
case. The left hand musing board‘
and fenders were ripped oil! and the
hood of the engine was torn from its
fastenings. The Simplex lost both its
running boards and fenders and the
headlights were smashed. Robinson
was able to continue on under his own
power. while the other machine was
towed to Reynolds garage.
At this same point of the road a
Danbury man by the name of Clark
had a mishap the day before and his
machine was reduced to wreckage.
