ONars Refining

tory. Ray Harrouns racing car room At
the factory is said to have been closed
to everybody, and this is generally &C
cepted as meaning that the Harmon
company is planning a surprise which
will be great interest TO followers of
the racing game.
1t is probable that many private own
ers will enter cars in the big race this
year. Inquiries from many sources are
coming into the office of the indianapolis
motor speedway. The rule reducing the
piston displacement from 600 to 40 cubic
inches has made il possible for more
private owners to enter cars this year
than heretofore.
Another interesting bit of information
which emanates from the New York
automobile show. is that Bob Burman, the
speed king" has entered into negotia-
tons with the keeton company for a
car which he hopes to drive in the third
annual 5OO-mile International sweepstakes
race at indianapolis. Burman went to
New York from San Diego. Cal. in order
to find d car TO drive in the indianapolis
fancy TO the keeton car. However. the
absence of Mr.. Keeton president of the
company, has prevented consummatioa
of the deal, but il is not improbable that
an agreement will be reached. The regu-
lar stock is fitted, by necessity, with
an eighty-mile speedometer
Burman says he will drive the car, pro
viding the company allows him TO enter
the factory and superintend the con-
stl1iction of IL and the assembling
of his motor. He believes that by careful
turning he will be able to reach a speed
of eighty miles an hour.

sDONT'S" FOR
MOTOR CYCLISTS

Don't start on long trip without first
filling up the oil and gasoline tanks.
Don't use automobile or any old oil for
your motor cycle. Use only a heavy grade
oil made especially for motor cycles.
Don't forget to remove the battery plug
when you stop the motor; a short circuit
will soon ruin the batteries.
Don't open the cutout in the city.
Don't ride fast in the city around
sharp curves. You may not be able to
stop quickly enough.
Don't race your motor on the stand; it
Don't forget to strain the gasoline.
Dirt and water will cause carburetor
trouble.
Don't ride your motor cycle if the tires
are fiat; it will cut and pinch the inner
tube.
Don't neglect keeping all nuts set up
tight: a loose or lost nut may cause an
accident.
Don't pass motor cyclist whose ma
chine has broken down without Offering
assistance.
Don't forget to oil the chain. Its bear
ings need oil occasionally to keep it in
good order.
Don't ride a machine whose belt slips
some good belt dressing.
Don't neglect or abuse your motor
cycle and it will serve YOU as friend.

HOW TO DRIVE AUTO CAR.
Local Motorist Gives Good Advice on
Correct Method.

Few persons observe the correct po-
sition when riding In or driving an auto
mobile" said a local motorist a few days
ago.
The tendency among most motor car
enthusiasts is toward one or two ex-
tremes. They lean either too far forward
or allow their body to be tilted too far
backward Each of these positions is in
correct. Neither is a perfectly vertical
position the best.
ITO have car under his control at all
times the driver should assume a posture
slightly inclined backward from the YER
teal position. If one leans too far for
ward there is a tendency to strain the
eyes in watching the road and the arms
become too cramped to handle the steer
ing wheel easily.
The extreme backward or lounging po-
sitiop results in a loss of power over the
pedals and prevents seeing the ruts and
mudholes on the road When the emer-
gancy presents itself the driver Is not
ready to command the situation.
with the correct position complete
control Of the pedals and steering wheel
presents no difficulty. Furthermore, the
driver can make long trips into the coun-
is especially true where the seats of the
car are tilted to the proper angle.
There was time when it was next to
impossible to assume a comfortable posi-
ton at the wheel of any but the mos,
expensive cars. Now, however, designers
are Incorporating the correct idea in the
more moderate priced models"

ENTRY LIST GETS BOOST.
Names of Two Cars in INDIANAPOLIS
Classic Are Withheld.

entry list for the third annual 5OO-mile
international sweepstakes race, which
will be staked at the Indianapolis motor
speedway Memorial day, was given big
boost when two cars of prominent make

of the entrants, however, the names of

but the owners of the cars have great
faith in the proWess of their products,
and are anxious to help clinch their
chances by placing the cars in charge of
the best men Obtainable. No definite
choice Will be made until after a careful
examination of all the candidates in the
field, but it is said that when this choice
is finally announced followers of the
surprise.
Another interesting bit of information
was conveyed to officials of the Indianap-
oils motor Speedway when they received
a long-distance telephone communication
from a prominent racing car owner who
announced his intention of making an
entry of unusual Importance next week.
He refused to give the name Of the car
he is to enter, but said that 1t was be-
ing rebuilt to correspond to all the re-
qurements which will govern the race
this year. This entry will also add I'M
usual interest to the race, and with the
two unknOwnS formally entered yester-
day and the Stutz. Nyberg and Keeton
cars which have already been announced
the list begins to look formidable.

A record-breaking crowd marked the
close of the Automobile show last night
1t was the largest since the opening last
Monday and up until the closing hour
last night the spectators promenaded
about the large hall. inspecting the
machines with just as much interest as
they had shown from the beginning.
The total paid attendance during the
week just closed represented o.. 100 per-
sons. which marks new epoch in auto

That the result of the affair has been
gratifying to the officers and members
of the Washington Automobile Dealers
Association, under whose auspices the
show was given, is to put it mildly.
Everybody, has been enthusiastic and has
worked hard to make the exhibition the
greatest in the history Of the motor car
in the National Capital.
The success of the affair is largely due
to the efforts of Chairman r. Oliver

Lubricating the Motor.

The greatest difficulty found in lu-
bricating a motor is TO supply the oil
in proportion to the speed at which
the bearing surfaces are moving over
each other When two metal plane sur
faces are IN moving contact the move
ment is resisted by variable amount
of friction Sliding contact produces
higher friction than does rolling contact
because the area over which the force
If friction is eXerted is great in the first
instance, while in the rolling contact the
area is practically nil, being merely
point line As the speed increases,
the resistance per unit of time, or, in
other words. the power of the resistance
IS augmented. The power that is used in
overcoming frictioral resistance is trans
formed to a large degree into heat
Hence, when the coefficient of friction
rises the heat increases. and along with
the rise in heat comes consequent rise
n the coefficient of friction. This con-
tinueS until the resistance becomes so
high that the power eXerted by the friC-
tion. is greater than the power utilized
driving the moving parts. and the
bearing binds. and the result is what is
known as a seized or frozen bearing.

DON'TS FOR MOTORISTS.

Don't screw the terminal binding
nuts up with pliers, as the hand
should be sufficient.
Don't fail to wash the plugs with
gasoline. using a>1stiff brush, and
sceur the electrodes lightly with
fine emery cloth.
Don't forget to remove all parti-
Giles of emery before replacing
plugs. Don't forget to carry extra
plugs, and whenever one is used be
sure and replace those used
Don't throw your old plugs or
your extra ones In the toolboX or
locker with a lot of old junk; keep
them in a wooden box, first having
creased the threads to prevent
rust, and then securely wrap each
one in cloth. Porcelains are easily
cracked and electrodes easily bent
by rough handling.
Don't let bunch Of loose. heavy
wires drag and pull on your plugs,

Caused by Tie Vote.

The naming of a committee to make
the award was necessitated by the fact
that three exhibits were tied for the
honor by a popular vote. The manage
ment's idea was to have each visitor de-
posit a ballot in a box located in the hall.
During the week the exhibitors made
strenuous efforts to capture the honor.
and the balloting was heavy. A tie was
the result when the ballots were counted
Friday night, and after a conference it
was decided to name a committee to
make the award.
Following this announcement r. Bruce
Emerson, representing the winning firm,
made an address of thanks for the honor
conferred on his firm and approaching the
interest that had been manifested in the
contest since the start.

as quiet had been secured stated the
conditions upon which the award would
be made. He then introduced r. w.
