DRIVERS OF SMALL CARS
WATCH CLUTCH LEATHER

One of the disconcerting peculiari-
ties of small cars is the hop their
front wheels often give when the car
moves off from rest on first gear
Needless to say, this hop is due en-
tirely to the owner-sometimes to his
management of his clutch pedal or
lever. but more oftento his maltreat-
ment of the clutch leather. The driver
of a big car comparatively seldom
eases his clutch, as his lower gears
are very fast and quiet. On small
car a change down spells marked
diminution of speed and a marked in
crease of noise; consequently, the
owner delays and avoids descents to
second and first gears by every means
in his power Whether a leather
clutch be small or large, good or bad,
the effect of slipping it is always the
same-to dry the natural Gil out OF
the leather 1t then becomes fierce
and ierky in action and presently re-
fuses to hold. The owner tightens
the spring until he has no adjustment
left. and finelly a new leather is
necessary; in the meantime the Jerky
clutch has taken a lot of wear out of
the car, and the cars leaps and
bounds have been the dismay of all
Every time the car is taken out the
leather surrenders a proportion of it's
oil and the smaller the car the more
oil it loses, since the clutch has to
be slipped more than with a big car
to obtain a smooth move-away. Every
time the car is brought in this lost oil
should be replaced and the car given
twelve hours rest. The secret of pro-
longing clutch feathers life is to oil
it little and often, and to give the oil
ample time to sink into the grain of
the leather A few drops should be
injected, the cone withdrawn so far
that it. merely brushes the flywheel
without gripping it and the starting
handle revolved briskly for a minute
or two till the oil has been we'll dis
tributed Then the clutch should be
let in and the car left till morning.
Castor and neatsfoot oils are the best
in the order named. With this simple
treatment the clutch leather will last
10000 miles easily and never give any
trouble on the road. But it will be
absolutely ruined within 500 miles if
the clutch be slipped for several miles
together, the fabrication be excessive,
the fabrication be infrequent or the
car be run Immediately after oiling the
clutch. If there be any suspicion of
having injected too much oil the
leather should be exposed and wiped,
and if it is found that through neglect
it has commenced to char the leather
should be exposed and roughened with
a tire rasp, so that the oil has a chance
to penetrate beneath the hard shiny
surface burnt upon it.

"Our next three camps were in Can
ada The first, close to the shore or
the Detroit river, where we bought a
supper of frogs legs, fish and chicken.
1t was positively a dream. The next
camp was in a shady school house
yard some fifteen miles from London,
and the last night under canvas was
spent on a bluff overlooking Lake on
tario It was the twelfth eamp-not
one of which could be considered un-
comfortable nor unpleasant In any
way. Everywhere we asked we were
given permission to camp cheerfully,
and we did not have a disagreeable
experience on the whole trip.
"The car behaved beautifully. One
puncture was the sum total of our tire
trouble. Lucky, you say? Not alto
gether; we took care of our tires, using
an air gauge, and stopped up every
little cut in the castings with plastic
cement. The odometer registered near
ly 1900 miles at the finish, and we had
averaged little better than seventeen
miles per gallon of gasoline consumed.

FL YWHEEL MORE EFFICIENT
AT REAR OF CRANK SHAFT

The locati ! of the flywheel is usual
ly a matter of designers choice. We
must remember that we have been
quite generous with this fywh in
the amount of weight and room taken
up in the chassis, and it should be
placed where it can beeutilized for as
manv different functions as possible.
The flywheel can have fan blades
cast as integral parts, and thus per-
form the function of a cooling fan, fan
bracket. belt or driving gears, thus
simplifying the cooling system. But
with the fywheel at the forward end
of the crankshaft It is often in the way
Of repairs or the placing Of accessories
besides throwing the weight on the
front tires, wheels and springs, MAX
ing for harder steering and a greater
tendency toward the conduction of
road shocks to the chassis. The plac-

ing of the fywheel at the rear has
many advantages.
The hywheel in this position serves
as an efficient driving member OF a
cone clutch or may be made to serve
as the housing of a multiple disc
clutch, thus, reducing the number OF
parts and the weight.
The fiywheel at the rear can be useo
as an oil distributor for the motor
and has been used as magnetic nous
ing in one construction. This location
is probably at disadvantage when
reading the markings on the hyWheel
or In case removal from the CHASSIS is
required. but this is of minor impor-

the announcement that President Taft
has issued an executive order extend
