GETS PATENT ON
AUTO AIR SPRING
Remarkable Invention Which Permits
Motorists to Ride on Compressed
Air, Adding to His Comfort.
There has just been issued to Gee

There has just been issued to George
Westinghouse a patent covering his air
spring for automobiles. and it is stated
in Washington that there never has
been such a demand for information
concerning to patentable features of
an invention as in the case Of the
Westinghouse spring, which is already
Wen known abroad and here
The work accomplished by the air
spring will rank this invention as one
of the great engineering achievements
IN that an air pressure Of nearly 100
pounds per square inch, which pressure
can be varied if desired to meet the
load conditions of any car. is success
fully maintained in a cylinder the pis-
ton of which is subject to rapid and
violent movements. This difficult fea-
ture in pneumatics has been accom-
plished by the use of a liquid for seal
pumping device located within the ap
paratus which automatically returns
to the pressure chamber all. of the
liquid which naturally leaks past the
packing while the spring is in opera
ton This pumping device not only re-
turns the liquid but also pumps a
small quantity of air so as to fully
maintain the air pressure.
The quartermaster generals depart
ment has taken steps to apply some of
these springs to army ambulanceS be-
cause of the exceptionally smooth rid
ing to the occupants Of an ambulance
equipped with air springs. even when
the wheels are fitted with solid tires
Westingh ouSe's first invention using
air was the well known Westinghouse
air brake for railways.

HOW TO PREVENT
FIRES IN GARAGES
Leaking Gasoline Is the Most Frequent
Cause of Flames About Autos When
They Are Standing.


How to prevent garage fires is re-
ceiving especial attention from the Los
Angeles fire department. Los Angeles
has been remarkably free from such
blazes and the firemen say this is due
to precautionary measures
Automobile fires generally start
from leaking gasoline tank, a loose
gasoline pipe connection or flooding
carburetor," said a fireman. Generally
the igniting flame comes from a back
fire in the carburetor, but a red rot
exhaust pipe or leaking high tension
wire could also start the blaze The
first thing to remember is to keep cool,
for there is rarely any danger of an
explosion. and the second requisite is
to shut of the gasoline supply valve
II the carburetor is on fire, it will
then quickly burn itself out without
damage to any other part, and can very
often be blown out by getting close to
1t and giving a vigorous blow.
If the fire is in the drip pan under
neath-always punch a few small holes
in this pan to drain off gasoline and
ola few handsful Of dust or sand will
put it out without damage to the motor
from the dirt.
In the event of a large fire. only
two things can help you-smother it
with any cloth handy or use a regular
of course, will only scatter the fire to
more inaccessible places, so the idea
must be to so cover the flames that air
cannot reach them. Gasoline without
air will not burn. A regular fire ex-
tinguisher simply generates a heavy
gas which envelopes the flames and
keeps out the air.

OPERATED CHEAPLY
Three Recently Married Young Men Of
Chicago Use II and Save on Their

on the cooperative plan would seem at
first glance to involve unpleasant pos
sibilities. but three young men who
recently purchased a car jointly. say
that the plan has worked out beaud-
fully
These three are recently married and
live with their brides in a town north
of Chicago. all being employed in the
city. The round trip railroad fare is
something like 70 cents. and the wives
going to town twice a week, the trans
portation Of the three families has ex-
ceeded SO per month.
Now the young. men go to Chicago
and return each Gay in their car, be-
ing driven by a school boy brother Of
one of them. While they are at their
desks, the car is at the disposal Of their
wives. the arrangement being that each
is to have it two days each week. The
families alternate in its use on Sun
day
The young men have figured the
monthly expense of maintenance very
literally, estimating as follows: Case
line, $3.50; lubricating oil. 81; tires,
SIS; garage, $40; repairs, 81, and de-
probation SIS. This is a total of $6O-5O,
a saving Of $3.50 over railroad fares,
