If a car is travelling at speed of about
ten miles an hour system which fllnmi-
mates the road for some forty feet ahead
of the automobile may be quite adequate.
since at that rate o. propulsion the car
may be stopped without difficulty within
a distance of twenty feet. If the auto
mobile travels at twice the speed men,
toned the momentum of the car becomes
twice what it was at ten miles per hour,
and the distance needed for stopping il
by the same braking effort will be proper
tionately in excess of the distance needed
in the first place. Modern automobiles
travelling at an average rate OF twenty
miles an hour are equipped with brake
facilities capable of bringing them to a
. tandstllI within fifty feet, which is
enough to avoid a mishap of any kind if
the driver keeps his eyes on the road
ahead.

to say the least. AS a matter OF TACT
this has not been done as yet, but IL the
present shortage of cars on some railway
systems continues something very nearly
approaching II may be a possibility OF
the future. according to General Man
aver James Newton Gum of the Stude-
bnker corporation. :,
Our prime problem today is not to sell
or to make automobiles, but TO procure
cars in which to ship them asserts Mr..
Gum. During January and February
we have been compelled to resort to the
expediert of routing whole trainioads by
! roundabout ways instead of direct, so as
to avail ourselves of cars which some
roads could furnish us when others could
not or course, as usual in extreme
cases. there have been several reasons
for this congested condition. the short
age of railroad cars being only one of
them.
This winter buyers have been more
than usually insistent on deliveries,
doubtless profitinS by past experience
and feeling that a car in the home garage
is worth two promised for spring deliv-
cry. Hence our shipping problem. And
to show that it's real one l need only
cite two instances inside of last week
when we shipped trainload of autOmo-
biles to Philadelphia via the Wabash
to Fort Wayne, Ind, thence Pennsylva-
MA and another train,oad for Boston
had to go via the Grand Trunk through
Canada.
These are surely roundabout routes.

ficulty. instead of being able to roll off
with perfect freedom. The actual result
of this on the run of the chain Is vio-
lent tug at every enforced disbursement
of link from the sprocket. That there
will be undue noise and vibration from
the transmission almost goes without
saying. The best remedy IS to put on
a new pair of sprockets; the next best IS
to have the old one taken off, and the
ends of the hooked teeth ground off on
an emery wheel. In this case it is better
not to put on new chains. as the old ones
will conform better to the altered pitch
of the sprockets. If new sprockets be
fitted, then it is a good plan to put on
new chains, SO that the two exactly lit
each other.

~ EVERAI1 important changes of in
terest to motorists generally will
be made in the automobile law of
~ Maryland if bill just introduced
into the legislature of that state
by Senator Goslin becomes law.
Many of the recommends tons adopted
on Road Users day. under the di-
rection of the Touring Club Of America,
during the American road congress. have
been INCORPORATED in the measure, also Il
reciprocity provision granting absolute
freedom to motorists of other states and
territories to enter Maryland whenever
they choose, remaining as long as they
desire, where the same privilege is ex-
tended to Maryland automobiles by
other states; the exception being New
Jersey, where the assembly has passed,
by a decided majority, the Stickei reci-
procity BILL which, it is expected, will
pass the senate within a fortnight and
when signed by Gov. Wilson viii grant
to nonresident tourists the use of the
highways of New Jersey for period OF
fifteen days.
Automobiles residing in the District of
Columbia are especially concerned in the
Goslin bill, since it's enactment would
allow them free entrance into the state
of Maryland, doing away with the necessity
of taking out the license now required.
OF the recommendations included in the
new Maryland measure is a provision that
all vehicles while in use on the public high
ways of the state shall, during the period
of from one hour after sunset to one hour
before sunrise, display at least one white
light visible from both front and rear
and of sufficient Illuminating power to be
visible at a distance of 200 feet.
The features provide that no warning
signal shall be used except as a warn
ing of danger; another prohibits the use
of the muff1er cut-Out at any hour of the
day or night within the limit of any city,
town or village in Maryland.

Harry A. Roe, who was appointed last
week by Gov. GoldsborOugh commissioner
of motor vehicles for the state of Mary
land. will assume his new position May !.
Mr.. Roe was formerly state senator from
Caroline county, and is popular among
the motorists of Maryland. He will sue
ceed John E. George, the present incum-
bent of that office. One of Mr.. Roe's
strongest indOrsers for the position as
commissioner was the Automobile Club
Of Maryland.

The chief cause of the noise which
sometimes comes from the chains of a
chain-driven car is wear on the teeth of
| the counter shaft sprockets. If the
sprockets are small this wear takes place
much more rapidly, as the number of
teeth being less the pressure upon each
is greater, and furthermore, in the case
of those cars in which there is a greater
difference in the speeds of the counter
shafts and rear wheels. each tooth comes
into use oftener within given period.
considered better practice to increase
the ratio of the driving gears for the
counter shaft. and thus run it at a speed
more nearly approaching that of the rear
wheels. than to get the necessary reduc-
ed speed at the road wheels by using
comparatively small counter shaft
| sprOckets and large ones on the wheels.
Large diameter sprockets run smoothly
and quieter and wear less than small
ones. Furthermore. with small sprockets
the movement in the wear on chain
pivots is greater. The, face of the teeth
on small noisy sprocket will be found
more or less gOuged out in concave form
| from the general wear and tear of the
chain. When this gouging out becomes
very marked every tooth becomes q form

to Discharge This fluctuation in voltage
is accompanied by a very noticeable and
disagreeable variation in candlepower OF
an incandescent lamp which is designed
for a certain voltage. This experience
caused the engineers to look for another
means of car lighting, and the construc-
ton of lighting dynamos was laid down
as the most desirable solution of the prob
lem.

The preSsed-steel housing is proving pop
ular and there ale some additions TO the
ranks OF those who make this type of rear
axle. The accessibility of the axle has
also been made an objective point and
this is very notable in the ease with

moving the cover plate.

Thrilling experiences in the worst bliz-
card in years We're reported by William
III. Kleckner and Charles u. Weed, who
have just reached New York in tour-
ing car after 230-mile trip through
Pennsylvania. Both men told how they
passed over mountains that had not been
traversed during the winter months in
years and battled with snowdrifts seven
feet high when the roads were obscured.
The real struggle, they said, began when
they left Wilkesbarre and encountered
the treacherous mountain known as
Giants Despair. The men had to fight a
seventy-mile- an-hour gale in addition to
| being forced to climb steep grade. Soon
| ran into a high drift and the car had to
be shoveled out. Several natives warned
them that it would be impossible to
get to the next town safely and advised
them to give up the trip.
The next excitement occurred when the
car attempted to cross the Pocono noun
tains. twenty miles away. These hills are
said to have never been crossed before in
winter. Here the machine ran across a
high snowdrift, but got through and
reached Stroudsburg. detour was found
necessary, and instead of taking the
straight line by ferryboat across the Del
| aware river the men went ny way OF Port
Jervis, where they spent the night.

permits residents of other states to tour

it makes it burdensome for automoDiiists
