NEW CARBURETING METHOD.
"Mondex-Helix" Device Is Inven-
ton of Forrest A. Heath

For many years automobile engineers
have sought for some method of car
buretion that would be constant and adj
just itself automatically at different
speeds and grades and under light OF
heavy loads.
recently introduced carbureting de-
vice known as 'Mondex- HELIX" the in
vention Of Forrest A. Heath a member
of the Society Of Automobile Engineers,
it is said, seems destined to fill the long
felt want. and Danish the motorists car
buretion troubles.
1t may be used in combination with any
carouretor. Is very simple dev.ce and
can be inserted In the intake of mani
fold without the least alteration as
easily as one would slip a cartridge into
a gun. 1t Is adapted to all gasoline or
lower grade fuel motors and actual
tests, under all possible conditions have
proven that Mondex- Helix will save
from 70 to 40 per cent of fuel, greatly
increase power on a grades, at all
speeds. and that it will eliminate noise
and vibration and prevent backfiring and
carbOniZation.
The new carbureting method consists
In swirling the fuel and air from the
carburetor through q series of wire
breakers and mixers. This breaks the
fuel into finely divided particles and
streWs them In helical spiral through
the column of air, homogeneously car
bureting 1t. Thus is the evenness of
combustion insured and the rapidity Of
the combustion increased.

Big Strides Recently.

Even the most optimistic trade expan-
sionist could scarcely have forseen dec
ade ago the tremendous strides that have
been made in the tire industry during the
past four or five years. And yet with the
motor car bowling along on the crest of
great wave OF universal popularity, 1t
is not surprising that the manufacture
of tres should be in every seense a prop
osition of millions. Millions of tires are
required each year to shoe the ever-in-
creasing output Of cars: millions of
pounds of crude rubber and millions of
yards of cotton fabric are needed to go
into these tires; millions of dollars are
invested in tire factories, and additional
millions are paid annually to workmen
who biuld tires. And the reason for this
vast aggregate of resources Is that mil
lions of people throughout the length and
breadth of the world are dependent upon
the service for a large proportion Of the
convenienceS and pleasures Of motor car
operation.
1t is interesting to note what the pres
ent gigantic scope of the tire industry
means TO the manufacturer and to the
consumer.
Must Be Keenly Alive.
So far as the manufacturer is concern
ed, 1t means first OF all, that he must
be keenly alive and must calculate along
lines that are emphatically broad gauge
His organization must be capable Of pro-
ducing big results. and to do this his re-
sources must be minutely perfected and
Systematically dovetailed. The factory
output, the methods of distribution, the
service facilities of year ago even, are
no longer adequate. The tire business is
bigger than IL was twelve
months ago, and consequently must be
In a bigger way.
With large production. the question of
comes next, and to meet this
are broadening their sales
forces throughout the country and add

This broadening out is OF direct benefit
to the tire user and dealer with whom
we cooperate. because IT places every
