Light Up Both Roads When Your 

 Automobile Turns a Corner 



BECAUSE an automobile in which ho 

 was riding one evening, went around 

 corners so fast that it was dangerous, 

 and because the front lamps were 

 stationary and would not swing in the 

 direction the car was going until it had 

 turned completely, Frank E. Harvey of 

 White Hall, Illinois, resolved that certain 

 improvements in automobile headlights 

 were necessary. Therefore, Frank E. pro- 

 duced a very simple and commendable 

 invention. 



The idea is to makQ at least one head- 

 light turn, and that at the moment the 

 steering wheel is revolved. Thus one 

 headlight shines up in the new direction 

 while the other continues to light the old 

 roadway. In this way light is provided 

 in the two places most needed when 

 rounding a corner. The connecting rod 

 between the front wheels supplies the 

 motive power which moves the lamps. 

 Two pins are made fast to this rod near

Steering rod 



each end, and the rod 

 in its right-and-left 

 movements causes 

 one or the other of 

 the pins to strike the 

 arm of its bent rod 

 leading up to the 

 corresponding light. 

 The illustrations 

 show details. A 



spring keeps the 

 parts taut and ready 

 to respond to all 

 impulses from the 

 pins and rod. 





One light points 

 straight ahead, the 

 other in direction 

 car is going. Steer-

Is Coal Scarce? Use the 

 Newspaper Log. 



'' I "*HE only virtue no one has ever 



no one 

 denied a newspaper, is that it burns 

 well. But as fuel as well as in 

 news, it has always been 

 short-lived. Hence the news- 

 paper log! It burns from 

 three quarters of an hour to an 

 hour and a half in any fire- 

 place or stove. 



Spread five sheets of news- 

 paper, folded once, on a table, 

 with the folded ends 

 toward you. Begin 

 to roll them into a 

 tight roll. Before 

 the first section is 

 completely rolled, in- 

 sert another section, 

 and continue until 

 the "log" is from two 

 to three inches in 

 diameter. Saturate 

 each roll thoroughly 

 wdth kerosene.
