AUTOMOBILE REMINDERS

That French chalk or talcum pow
der busted between the inner tube of
tire and its casing is intended to
act as lubricant between the adja-
cent surfaces generally is understood.
But that it also serves q useful pur-
pose in preventing the tire from heat
ing is not so widely appreciated AS
q matter of fact, however, this is the
case. For unless provision is made to
cause the surfaces of the tube and cas-
ing to work together smoothly the fric-
ton created by the great pressure to
which they are subjected will tend to
generate a very considerable amount
of heat. This heat, of course, added
to that caused by the churning of the
compressed air in the tube, sometimes
may cause the air to expand sufficient
1y to oVerstrain the tube and result
in a blowout.
There are two methods of inSuring
that the axle caps of motor cars will
not come off once properly put on
a. If the cap screws up flush with
the metal ring of the hub small CEN
ter punch hole at the point Of contact
will prevent it coming unscrewed; (2)
sf the cap oVerlaps the ring, drill a
hole into the ring and in the cap, tap
out ana place a small SET screw Illdl
Just comes flush with the cap. The
screw will hardly be noticed, but may
save trouble and expense later,
A weak or broken inlet valve spring
will show its existence by giving rise
to a good deal of misfiring. The same
symptoms will indicate a broken ol
bent valve stem or carbonized and pit
ted valve seats. If the valve spring
for instance, has lost its temper, and
does not hold the valve properly to its
seat, the gas will escape, with the re-
sultant misfiring. A new spring should
be substituted at the earliest opportu-
nifty.
Many generators work by an ADJUST
able water drip, and under the infu-
ence of vibration the threaded rod ad-
justing the speed of the water drip is
apt to work down and curtail the sup
ply. This tendency is easily prevented
by slipping a small spring between the
rod and the top of the generator.
When mud and dust and water stains
have been removed by ordinary meth
ods with hose, water, and sponge, any
surviving stains cause by grease, OIL
and dirty fingers can be eradicated by
rubbing with soft rags moistened with
paraffin. Stains Of long standing can
be eradicated by these means, but with
certain paints the paraffin may create
a slight stain of its own, and there
fore it should be applied to the whole
area, say, once in three months, and
not employed at the daily washing. Its
effect is TO reduce the depth of hue
very slightly

SOCIALISTS WANT LAW

An ordinance has been introduced in
the Milwaukee, Wis, common council
increasing the penalty for exceeding
the speed limit. 1t is q Socialist
Democratic creation. For the first Of
fense a fine of not less than 800 is
provided. The present minimum is
$40 and maximum $25. The second Of
fense shall draw a penalty of three
months in the house of correction, and
the third offense one year in the house
of correction The speed limit is to
remain at 12 miles an hour.
1t is believed that the ordinance, If
passed. would be declared unconstitu-
tional, as there is no alternative Of a
fine in the case of second or third Of
fense, and the alternative is a re-
quirement. of the state laws. A Re-
publican alderman has introduced an
ordinance providing a penalty of from
S5 to SIS or sixty days Imprisonment
for failure to stop when injuring OF
otherwise running down persons.

E'AKING OF REAL CHEAP
CARS TO BE CURTAILED

There has been considerable discussion of
late in the automobile trade journals rela-
tive to the probable output for the cars OF
1911
T. T. Hart, president Of the Inter state
Automobile company, predicts shortage In
cars for the coming year, basing his opinion
on data which he has secured from prom
inent factories throughout the country when
he states indicates a curtailment of produc-
ton in certain lines and an Improvement gen
orally in the quality of cars as paramount
issue instead OF q mad rush to make quantity
records. All indications point toward n pros
porous year. and where there will apparently
be considerable curtailment in the production
Of lower priced cars, those selling in the so
called $1,000 class are experiencing heavier
demand than ever before, and that there Will
be a healthy increase in the production OF
that grade OF cars The Interstate produc-
tion Will be increased about 80 per cent, with
the total Of 1000 cars for the year. The local
Interstate distributors, Morrow, Loomis &
Co. are impressed with the prosperous outlook
for business In this section and anticipate q
delivery Of 300 to $50 Interstate cars in South
ern California and Arizona.

Wagon company has just leaked out, the story
being follows:
brakes Cake company OF Brooklyn, N. Y,
who have been using "GrabowslSy" over a
year, recently placed an order for two more
wagons. Several days ago there arrived at
the GrabowsSy plant, via express, large box
containing a square calSe-the beautiful ex-
terror decorations OF which were a work OF
art. The Identity Of the sender was a mys-
terry until a card OF Drake's Cake company
found, and the conclusion arrived at was
that the cake had been sent complimentary
to the Grabowsky company. In short order
the cake cut up and distributed among
the office force, and all were loud in their
enthusiasm as to the excellence Of Drake s
sponge cake.
The following day brought letter from

scriptive of the cars or other mer-
chandise.
Automobile shows have doubtless
come to stay, and the dealers of Los
Angeles are awake to the fact that it
is better to house as many cars under
one roof for a brief time as possible,
as their concentrated effort can do
much to educate the public in the use
of and necessity for motor cars in the
everyday affairs of life, for the own
ershop of cars is not confined to the
wealthy. That such a young organiza-
tion as the Los Angeles Motorcar
Dealers association could in the brief
time since it came into being con-
surmate plans for such a successful
show is Il good indication that the
"liveliest wires" in the business world
are the motor car people. Every men,
ber of every committee worked in har-
mony to bring about this success, and
in their selection of Walter Hempel to
attend to the actual show manage
ment they have made no mistake.
