Cooling Troubles
In Summer Season

The Summer touring season brings
with 1t cooling troubles for the motorist.
There are several reasons why water
cooled motors overhead. The cause may
be a clog in the circulating system, pre-
venting the free circulation of the wa
ter. The obstruction might be in the
radiator itself. in the water pump, or in
the hose connections. 1t is not unusual
for a piece of solder to clog the main
water outlet at the base of the radiator
1t is also possible that the propeller
of the pump has become loosened on the
shaft, and as a result does not throw the
water If the water hose connections
have been. on for some time ii is more
than likely that the inner walls have be-
come softened and are swelling shut.
The external surface of the hose may
seem to be in good condition. while the
inner walls have decayed.
To locate the obstruction in the water
lines the hose connection between the
radiator and the top of the cylinder can
be removed and by pouring water into
the radiator one can very readily tell
whether the trouble lies in the pump it.
self Again, the trouble may be traced
back in the lower connection at the base
of the radiator.
If the automobile has been running a
considerable length of time ii is also pos
sible that the cylinders are carbontzed
to such an extent as to cause overhead
ing.
4 thick coat Of carbon in the cylin-
ders will not only cause the motor to
overhead, but also to knock, even though
the spark is considerably retarded.
A combination of a retarded spark and
a slightly rich mixture will cause much
trouble. irrespective of proper water cir
culation.

His Suite Sl2 a Day,
Count Makes Only So

DETROIT, MICH. July 12.-Guests Of
the Hotel Pontchartrain, of Detroit,
were very much surprised several
weeks ago to see a dapper young man
in a rough working suit make his way
from the elevator to a waiting taxi
while a person. evidently a valet,
brought up the rear with suit Of over
alls carried openly in his hand.
Inquiry brought out the fact that the
young man was Count Paul Won Bon
scham, of Vienna, member of one OF the
Oldest houses in Austria The count
spent considerable time in this country
studying American industrial methods
and while in Detroit he worked at the
plant of the Ford Motor Company, in
the motor assembling department. He
asked no favors and worked steadily
for two weeks.
His employment brought him in 50
per day while in the suite at the hotel
he occupied with his valet was costing
S12 per day. When the young man was
leaving. he asked for a letter stating
that he had been a faithful workman,
saying that he wanted it to show his
neighbors that he had actually been
working with his hands in this country
1t was cheerfuly given The count has
several other letters from various in
stitutions where he had been employed
in this country.

Wet Weather Injuries
Tar Painted Roads

English Country Life. in discussing
the after-effects Of tar painting of roads.
says:
Months OF almost continual wet
weather have worked havoc with some
Of the tar sprayed roads near London,
and II Is becoming more than ever OBJ
vious that relief from summer dust can
be very dearly purchased | fancy that
much of the trouble is due to the fact
that, owing TO lack of any prolonged
spell Of drouth during the early part
Of the year, much of the tarring was
done when the roads were not thorough
" dry.
The result was that the tar did not
penetrate to any considerable depth.
and only a small waterproof crust was
formed, which the traffic has now
broken up and chuTned into a Shiny.
slippery coating, which is far worse In
every way than ordinary mud II is
doubtful whether tar painting can ever
be satisfactory where a road carries a
large volume OF heavy traffic, such as
ton engines; but l believe that most of
the leading surveyors are agreed that
for secondary roads we'll laid with good
macadam yearly surface tarring not
only cures the dust nuisance but ac-
tually pays for itself in the reduced
cost OF surface maintenance.
Many years must elapse before tar
macadam can come into general use all
over the country. and # would be a
serious misfortune II painting, which
is a great boon in dry weather, were
pronounced a failure on account OF un-
satisfactory results during the winter"

WORKING HARD
ON GREAT SHOW
Of A. A. ANDA. A.
Either October or November To
Be Chosen-AII-Day Outing
and Barbecue July 10.

The third annual show Of the At
lanta Automobile and Accessory As
soctation has been Scheduled for some
time in either October or November
The committee in charge are max
ing arrangements with the Audito-
rum Committee of Council for an
open date, and the exact time will
be announced within a few days.
Without a doubt, the 1918 show
will eclipse all former exhibitions.
OF course, the plans have not been
fuly worked out yet, but enough Is
known to prove that this year the
display Of new automobiles, acces-
series and novelties will be on a much
broader scale than ever before. While
the decorative effects are not select
ed, the committee will listen to moth
ing but the most deliberately brilliant
design possible.
Searching for Band.
A thorough search will be made for
the most popular and best liked band
in the country. If it is possible to get
SouSa or Creatore, he will be
here. No expense will be spared. 1t
is merely a question of getting the
contract. If 1t is impossible to Sc
cure either of these two, then the
best band in the United States that
Is aVallaDl6 VIII De mere.
The committee has several eEclu-
sive features up its sleeve for this
show which it considers unique
something never introduced before
into an automobile and accessory
show-and features that will certain
ly increase the interest and enter
tainment every day.
An all-day outing, with an old
fashioned barbecue, has been ar
ranged by the association for Satur-
day next, July 10. All the automo-
bile and accessory houses have agreed
to close on that day and give their
entire forces a real day of fun.
Features Of Barbecue.
There will be a baseball game be-
tween teams composed Of automobile
dealers, captained by @. w. Hanson,
and the tire and accessory mon, with
H. A. Price,of the Goodrich, in charge.
1t will be a good game and should put
the members of the association in a
most receptive mood for discussion of
big show plans.
After the details Of the plans for
the coming show have been fully
worked out and the proper commit
tees appointed, everybody will gather
around the banquet board, where will
be pots of steaming brunswick stew
and enormous and luscious portions
of old fashioned barbecued pig and
lamb, together with a bountiful sup
ply of the amber fluid"

Unique Plan Tried
For Utilizing Space

DETROIT, MICH, July 12.-One OF
the questions continually asked Ford
dealers is how they are able to secure
Ford motor cars when there is a short
age of railroad freight cars.
Investigation reveals the fact that this
is accomplished because the Ford Com
pany, after considerable experimenting,
figured out a plan for utilizing every
inch of space in a box car.
Ford cars are shipped six to the car
The stripped GLASSES are stood on end
in one end of the car and the bodies in
the other. The wheels and other equip
ment. carefully Grated to avoid break
age, is piled in between and when a
freight car pulls away from the Ford
loading sheds there is not a particle of
vacant space in it,
If it were not for this method of load
ing the Ford Company could not de-
liver its enormous output, despite the
fact that thousands of the cars manu-
featured at Detroit are shipped in
knock down form to the various as
sembling plants around the country.

County, North Carolina, He received
an ordinary amount of schooling, later
took limited course in the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, and formed
lifelong habit of reading good
books; but the most conspicuous evil
dence of his boyhood was the fact
that he early developed capacity for
hard work. He was a schOOlboy IN
the winter and plOwboy in the sum-
mer, not because he had to, but be-
cause work came natural TO him. The
first wage earning job he ever had
was as printers devil on The Green's
boro Patriot. He held that job for
