First Warren Car
Still in Service

Wishingto learn the location Of the
hrst Warren car, and the work It was
doing. Lucius f. Wilson, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the War
rem Motor Car Company, OF Detroit,
wrote to the Aschaf Motor Car Com
pany Of New Orleans, La. original pur-
chasers Of the machine. and 1t was
learned that the car was still in the
service for which 1t was sold-that Of
trailing missing convicts in the terri
tory surrounding New Orleans.
Up to three or four years ago 1t had
been the custom In the louisiana dis
trict to trail convicts with bloodhounds.
Then the motor car came into service.
Bloodhounds. the popular trsilers Of the
slave period. fell into disuse when II
was found that the motor car was
speedier and more effective, In the ex-
periments the machines held up better
than expected of motor cars in such a
unique service. and the result Is hat

New Planks in
F. A. M. Platform

fares"
Stop reckless driving"
These are some Of the planks in the
platform of the Federation Of American
Motorcyclists in its campaign against
motorcycle abuses. And the F. A. NJ
is in the fight to stay until motorcy-
cling Is cleaned up.
For some time the officers of the
federation have been appealing TO the
members. the individual motorcycle
clubs, and city officials in an effort to
abolish these evils. In many communi-
ties the clubs have adopted rules max
ing the violation OF the above planks
a unable offense. In others the mem
bers of the F. A. M. are working In
conjunction with the city officials in
stamping out these abuses, while in
some localities the steps are just being
taken toward putting motorcy cling on
a higher plane of sportmanship.
With the cooperation Of all mtor-
cyclists, the f. A. n. expects to stamp
out these evils And with the constant
increase In membershipSmorel than 500
riders are joining each month-the Of

many of these present abuses In the
near future.

ALUMINIUM INDUSTRY
HAS GROWN WITH

Automobile Builders De-
mand for Light, Strong
Metal Is Cause.

The development Of the aluminium in
dustry is contemporary with the deveI-
opment and growth of the automobile
INDUSTRY says q metailurgist con-
nected with one OF the big automobile
companies.
One might say that II In, perbap.
due to the impetus caused by the de.
mand created by the automobile indus
try for a light. strong metal that the
rapid advance in the commercial pro-
duotion of aluminium has been made.
Aluminium Is one OF the most abun-
dant elements in the earth's crust II ia
a component part of all clays and of
much OF the rocky structure Of the
earth. 1t is known to all as a light
metal OF a silver white color, which
has a marked resistance to oxidation
and nearly all corroding actions. The
melting point Is 1,2l5 degrees faren-
heit. This melting temperature makes
1t fairly easy metal to melt for foun-
dry purposes. aluminium has a specific
gravity of practically two and six
tenths or about one-third Of that of
steel This makes 1t the lightest OF all
commercial metals and to this property
is due majority Of its numerous ap-
plications.
THE strength of ordinary aluminium
In bar form is about $1,000 pounds per
square inch. Bar aluminium castings
WIN generally show a strength Of about
12,0o0-l4.00o pounds per square inch, but
for casting purposes bar aluminium is
seldom used but rather one Of the very
valuable aluminium alloys.
aluminium unites quite readily with
most of the common metals except lead.
One Of its most useful and important al
loys is formed with copper and is wide
ly used for casting purposes for auto
mobile work. When cast It has a
strength Of about 1900 pounds per
square inch. 1t is very resistent to re-
peated strains. and will maintain it's
strength very well at slightly increased
temperature.
Because of these two properties. It is
admirably suited for such services as
engine bases and crank cases.
THE automobile manufacturers create
demand for aluminium in the custo-
mary commercial shapes. such as rods
sheets, wire. etc. Sheet aluminium Is
an admirable material for automobile
bodies. In addition to its lightness It
will not rust. ia very easily worked,
and takes a very excellent finish"

GASOLENE PROBLEM
IN ENGLAND HAS
BECOME SERIOUS
Shell Spirit Climbs to 81
Cents Per Gallon In
Old Country.

The fact that English motorists are
up In arms against the marked In
crease In the retail price Of gasoIene
serves to emphasize the cheapness of
that commodity in this country. The
Royal Automobile Club OF England
has been investigating the matter and
as result OF its finding indignation
meetings are being held throughout
the United Kingdom and protests are
being made against the recent climb
or shell spirit" as gasolene is label
ca In its sealed can, to the price OF
~ GENTS a gallon.
The news that English motorists are
protesting against the increased price
reached this country TINS week, and al
once provoked considerable comment.
AS an expression Of the opinion held by
many familiar with the situation both
here and abroad. the head of a big De.
troit motor company's foreign depart
ment said: n.., -
The difficulties which the motorists
OF england face should make us thank
ful Tor two things. First, that the price
lower. and second. that the industry in
this country has advanced to the stage
where We are producing cars that are
actually economical In gasolene con-
sumption.
You hear great deal OF complaint
these days about the high price OF
gasolene In America. but l fear that
we do not always appreciate that i'm
reality we pay a very low price for
this necessity, In parts of Europe and
certain localities in the Orient
have known the price to be as high
as 80 cents a gallon. Quite naturally
the figure varies according to the "a
eilities for receiving the sasoolene.
exhaustible supply and good means OF
transportation. the price is correspond
ingly low.
Furthermore, our cars in most in
stances develop more power in proper
ton to the amount of gasolene CON
sumed than do the cars of Europe.
The average European car may use
less gasolene. but IL cannot mount the
hills as easily as our cars can. 1 find
in our company's experience that the
Europeans are preferring the cars we
export because they do give better serv-
ice for the gasolene consumed than the
ones manufactured in their own coun-
tries
1T leads me to conclude that a glance
at the difficulties which motorists in
other countries face, should make us
consider ourselves exceedingly for
tunate.

Get the Habit
Of Signaling When
Driving in Cities

Getting drivers In the habit Of Sig
mailing with the hand when
going to stop, when slowing up,
when turning to the right or
when turning to the left Is diff
ficult.
In large cities the education Is
rapid, because the driver must
use 1t for his own protection,
but in the many medium.sized
cities there is a conspicuous ig.
norance Of such rules, and gen.
orally the drivers from such
cities, when they get into the
big centers, run amuck with the
police or other drivers because
Of disobedience to recognized
signals.
No matter what the city, the
driver should accustom himself
to such rules, and he can only
get in the habit Of such by con-
tinual attention to II in his home
city or town. The automobile
owners will work q great benefit
to the industry II they will rec
ognize this simple rule and
many accidents will be averted.

Turning Corners Fast
Injurious to Tires

So many people seem to think the
moment they get car 1t Is their
solemn duty to see how fast they
can go, and how much the car will
stand on every occasion. High speed
Is most disastrous on tires. That is
so sensibly plain 1t needs no explain,
alton.
The worst of all is the turning OF
corners rapidly when the very laws OF
nature throw the entire weight OF
the car at accumulated momentum to
the outside and pulling sidewise al
the walls of the tires. You might
just as we'll put the tread of your tires
against an emery wheel as to turn cor:
ners at a high rate of speed.

Bay Tree Beliefs.

It was thought by the ancients that
lightning would never harm this tree,
and it was customary among them to
carry bay leaves as a charm against
the thunderbolts Of Jove. The same
belief was long prevalent In England,
and reference to it may be found in
an old poem dedicated to Ben Jonson:
