With all sorts of resistance, relays and
special lamps, ar being sold. But
they perform no better than the slm-i

manufacturers discourage their use
because their wiring 19 complicated

All that Is needed for an ordinary
stop signal connection are two metal :

I The dash indicator usually uses up
, so much current that It Is best to
'connect It so that It will glow only

This is accomplished by making a
double contact ami connecting the

When the pedal 19 depressed from the
free position at 1 to 2. the dash In
dicator Is lighted but the rear signal

dicator uses up nearly all of the volt
age for the lamps.
i When however, the pedal is de
pressed further, to 3. the signal lamp
gets S direct current from the batti ry
and the indicator goes out
By this system, therefore, there Is
only a flash of the Indicator to show
the driver that his stop signal Is

the Indicator flashes again momen

is out.

Atondell ald that those who were I

clined to accept their views or to hc

eanler to "damn congress than to de-'
fend their own position."
with ih'-".- who criticised congressl
for purely partisan reasons, regardless
of the facts. Mr. Mondell linked news
paper editors 'who, immured io cdl-'
torlal sanctums, out of an entlro lack I
of national viewpoint and complete
Isolation -om the puls. t.f national
sentiment conscientiously or uncon
sciously reflect tho se'iflsh and pro
vincial Hentlmont which filters
through the editorial keyhole."
Without mentioning nampp Mr
Mondell declared that as usual con
Kress had been asiled by "a con- B
stderable number of peopie and from R
wide nnd curiously diversified stand
points of view and opinion"
The Country, however, he declared,
j would Judfje congress by what It does
rather thnn by what Is said about it.
Mr. Mondell pointed to "the splen
did record of economy In appropria
tions" under the budget systefh.
"Up to this time congress. ' he said,
"has placed upon tho statute books
395 separate laws of which 311 arc
public nnd S7 private. Including
claims In addition the house his
considered and passed 276 bills of
which 128 are public and 14S private.
Seventeen penate bills also hav?
passed the house but have not reach
ed the point af actual agreement, thus
I maklnsr the house average of two and
one-third bills for each legislative
day."
The "worthiness or capacity" of a
legislative body. Mr. Mondell assert
ed, could not be judged by the volum
of Its work. The house, he added,
had been extraordinarily diligent "and!
OUnd, Intelligent and enlightened in i
Its Judgment."
TAX kOtlON DEFENDED.
Heading the list of achievements
was the tax revision which he said
In the nature of thins 'could not
have satisfied evervbody."
"It was not possible under the con
dition of the public treasury." said
Mr Mondell. "and In view of'tho ob
ligations and Increased demands
growing out of or resulting from the
war, to reduce tho tax burden to the
extent that the congress would have
