A circular letter notifying automobile

ROAD DETAILS ON CARDS
Henry Caldwells Idea Helps to
Make Touring Easy.

One Of the distinct novelties introduced
this year for the benefit OF motor tour
lists is I'm the form OF system OF vest
pocket touring information. published in
card form, also in miniature tour books
for attaching TO the rim Of the steering
wheel. They have been arranged by
Harry Caldwell, author of "Hoo's Hoo"
and other abstruse volumes.
The cards are the exact size OF playing
cards and contain fun running directions
between cities In both directions. They
M into a leather case which buttons to
the rim OF the steering wheel, giving the
driver directions in tenths Of miles In a
form which cannot be blown by the wind
or affected by the weather, dust or
grease. There are $50 cards now on sale
covering New England. Long Island. New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Cards and books are on sale at the promi-
nent automobile supply houses and book
stores in this and nearby cities.

"A large percentage of the automobile

driver of the overtaking car Invariably

Joy riding is another reason why auto

driver. The reckless and daredevil spirit
is uppermost, and in many cases this re-
suits in disaster"

FOREIGN SITUATION ACUTE
Two Local Organizations Are
Considering Ways and Means
of Meeting Problem.

Numerous reports Of oarburetor trouble
among motorists who toured IN New Jer-
sey and Connecticut last week has
brought 10 light the fact that, a. q 70
suit o, the enormous demand FOR gaso-
lene. not only for automobiles. but the
motor boats and stationary engines the
quality OF that necessary liquid has again
been reduced.
Not more than i've years ago B test
gssolene was advertised and guaranteed.
and II was no uncommon experience TO
find garages where essence" testing Of
81 or better was on sale Recent tests
have shown that the standard 10 now well
below 20. and In many cases the quality
has sunk 10 81.
This deterioration has been met year
BY year by the carburctor experts. who
have continually improved their devices
10 keep pace with the new conditions.
Even with their improvements, however.
many cars do rot start on their first
cranking. which was the rule rather than
the exception a few years ago The self
starter has TO a great extent solved the
problem as many OF them will turn the
engine over thirty or forty times.
Furthermore. the kerosene mixer Is
nearly OUT OF the experimental stage. and
further refinements may open the heavier
fuel as an additional source OF supply.
In Europe, however. II IL felt that neither
gasolene nor any OF the heavier oils will
furnish the final solution Of the fuel
problem, as their price and quality can
be regulated by any monopolistic corpo-
ration.
To this end both the Royal Automobile
Club and the Societe d'Encouragement
have offered large cash prizes 10 the in
ventor who will give TO the world sub
stitute for the lighter oils as a source OF
fuel
To the American this problem IL not as
acute az II Is TO the European motorist
He can still buy gasolene even though II
be Of low quality for Is TO q cents a
gallon. In England. however. 81 cents Is
the usual price. while in parts OF France
70 cents has 10 be paid.
The danger Of the curtailment OF a
gasolene supply is a source OF worry to
the automobile manufacturers, and at a
recent meeting Of the Chamber OF Com
merce discussion arose as TO the advisa-
bility of offering an American prize. Tho
subiect was laid on the table and II IL
| hoped that Il will materialize when again
taken up at q future meeting.
f. f. schwartzkopf, vice-president OF
the Manhattan Automobile Club, says
that the gasolene problem has already
engaged the attention OF the club He
expects that a substantial prize for its
solution will be offered in connection
with the various competitions which the
club will organize during thu coming
winter.
| The success which has attended the
open,ng OF the new motoring organization
which has taken tho place OF the Auto
mobile Club OF America since the latter
eliminated It's social features and discon-
tinued its restaurant. warrants the hope
