that night in the shadow of a low
stone howell. near the lower gate OF
the Mount. AS he crouched beneath

row alley, where he had stopped, to
the open entrance at the base OF the
rock to the sands. The goal was not
far. but a few moments would have
sufficed to reach it; only between him
and the point he had so long been
striving to attain, an obstacle, or group
of obstacles, interviewed. Before

AMERICAS INTEREST
IN THE MOTOR CAR

The annual automobile shows are the
only public Industrial exhibitions where
an admission is collected.
1t means that the public is tremen-
dously interested n motor cars when
they will go by the tens of thousands
to the New lork and Chicago annual
shows and pay their money to look
over the new models
Another remarkable fact in connec-
ton with these shows is the reduction,
as the years go by, in the number of
orders actually taken for cars. It was
not long ago when it was nothing ex-
traordinary to receive orders for a.
hundred or more cars at one Of The
big shows and yet with the volume Of
automobile business marvelously in
creased the practice is not now so COM
mon This proves, more than every
thing else, that the public is very much
more addicted to technical considera-
lions than formerly. They neither
blindly follow precedent nor preju-
dice, but make a mechanical study Of
all cars and then go home and think
it over-With a big bundle of catalogs
to refresh their memories.

WANT SIGNAL DEVICE TO
SHOW SPEED OF AUTOS

Los Angeles police have recently
called the attention OF the motoring
world to the Importance of complete
auto equipment, by a request for an
ordinance covering automobile traffic
The law requested is one which would
require motorists to carry an electrical
device with which to warn the driver,
the public and the officers whenever
the speed limit is being exceeded
The device is a complicated affair,
intended to be carried on the dash of
the car It consist of three lights, red,
white and green, placed one above the
other and connected with the transmits
sion by a speed counter shaft The idea
is that when the car is making 10 miles
or less per hour. the white light burns;
at 20 miles per hour the green light
shows, and at Is miles per hour the red
light comes into play. At speeds in ex-
cess Of this, various combinations Of
flashes are shown.
Such a device is considered too COM
plicated- A good reliable speedometer
does away with all necessity for such
contrivanceS-

THE ADVANTAGES
OF LARGE WHEELS
Manufacturers Are Cutting the Price
With a View OF Encouraging
Them.

The advantages Of large diameter
wheels are, self evident. Strange as It
may seem. the only question ever raised
is the one as to tire cost. The advan-
tages Of large diameter tires are so
fully appreciated by the tire manu-
facturers that they are encouraging the
use of large diameter tires by making
q concession in the price. By refer
ring to a price list Of any Of the large
tire manufac turers, II will be Iound
that the price Of a Aka II inch casing
is less than the price Of a 56x5. This
hardlv. seems reasonable to the casual
must contain a greater amount OF rub
Der and canvas, and certainly it takes
a greater length of time to build the
BODY of the tire owing to the larger
diameter The fact that the differ
euce in the list price is in favor Of Al
inch tires can only be explained IN that
the tire MANUFACTURED is endeavor1ng
to encourage the use Of large diameter
tires. no doubt reasoning WITHIN MS
own mind that the large wheel Is the
only solution Of the tire problem.
The theoretical reason why the A.
inch tire has much longer Ire tnan
tires Of a smaller diameter IS thaI the
angle formed by that portion OF the
circT1rofereace of the tire where it
makes contact with the road IS small
er. As a result, an obstruction IN the
road Of a given height being passed
over by the larger wheel, does not
cause the wheel to rise so abruptly. In
Other words. the greater this angle, the
more oufcklv the wheel is called upon
10 rise The blow Of the contact OF
This obstruction is consequently
greater.

IMAGINITIS rs A
BAD AUTO DISEASE
Expert Says That Many People Imagine
Things About Their Cars When
There Is No Trouble.


There Is No Trouble.
Is there such a thinl. as an automo-
bile disease styled 'Tmagintds?" Ser
vice expert La France, of the Chalmers
Sales Company, of FL Paso, says there
is He says the cure for this disease is
for motor owners to let their cars
more alone and not to pay so much at
tention to alleged motor wise friends.
This disease is not at all prevalent.
1t is not exactly contagious" he says,
but, seriously, I and know service
men from other factories, have met peo-
pie who are unknOwingly affected with
it / have had persons come to me and
insist that their car was all wrong.
They imagined they heard a noise in
the motor. 1 would tell them to leave
their car. Test the car as l would, !
could not locate a noise. Now, If were
to tell that owner that there was moth
ing could find in the way Of a noise,
he would say 1 did not know my buS1-
ness. Well, one has to prevaricate. The
answer is, the owner takes his car out
and the next day tells me that it is
fine. He appreciates what have done.
AS a matter Of fact. 1 did not have to
turn nut
Then, again, have gone miles out
in the country to fix particular hard
job to find the owner was out Of gaso-
line
Time after time I find that trouble
is in carbureGon- Some owners viii
not leave these adjustments alone. The
result is, of course, inaccuracy in mo-
tor firing.
THE cylinders in a motor car viii not
get rusty, they will not knock If the
owner will do what he is told and no
more. The big solution of motor driv-
ing today is to give your car sufficient
oil. gasoline and water, and leave the
rest of it alone.
"a competent man. connected with
the company making or selling the car,
ought to go over it once in while, but
miscellaneous tinkering by Tom, Dick
and Harry will soon put any car in bad
shape.
'T do find that there is less trouble
with people who know little about
motor car than those who know, or pre-
tend to know, a whole lot. 1t is the
motor-wise who do not get the best ser
vice out of their cars This applies to
all makes
Therefore. the diagnosis Of most
trouble is fmaginitis,' and the prescrip-
ton is, forget it; use a little Christian
Scence."
