Do not use metal polish on them, but simply rub up with a dry soft cloth. At the same time make sure the bulb itself is clean. The lights should now be turned on and the lamp doors opened wide so that no light passes through them. One of the lamps should be covered so that you can focus one lamp at a time. You will find a focusing adjustment at the back of the bulb which enables it to be moved in or out until you have a concentrated centre of light on wall of about 2 feet that is free from dark spots or rings. If you focus the lamps so that the circle of light thrown on the wall is more than 2% feet, it will not throw the beam far enough ahead. The next operation is to test to see if the lamps are glaring. To do this, close the lamp doors and if the adjustment is correct the two circles of light will merge together in an oval shape and will just touch the horizontal line. If the light comes above the horizontal and smoking sets in de luxe models and numerous other appointments for the comfort and convenience of the owner.

The situation for successful auto mobile manufacturing would be that which permitted a factory to work at its production peak Phe year around and haye the field absorb the daily output without demanding more. Because of this overstocking of dealers and distributers grew. In most cases a factory makes & con- tract with a dealer or distributer with the number of cars that will be taken from the factory specified. Often times these quotas are fixed arbitrarily and without an analysis of the market possibilities When the public is absorbing auto: mobiles as rapidly as they can be turned out and clamoring for more the dealer and distributer fights for as many cars as he can get.

When Lieut. Lowell Smith and his five fellow airmen completed their first aerial circumnavigation of the globe, General Mason M.

The caris lacquer finishedin Dodge Brothers blue with a body stripe of cartouche yellow. Fittings and fixtures are first quality throughout, and balleon tires are standard equipment, So far as riding comfort and dependability are concerned, it is only necessary to add that the Coach is built on Dodge Brothers sturdy chassis and cushioned by Dodge Brothers underslung springs.
